All the signs that 2025 is destined to be a year of significant changes are there. In the bigger picture, it is likely to be a year of preparation, which can include the process of removing what is in the way, and or who. Like the clearing and cleaning required in a renovation project prior to rebuilding, things can get messy.” ~ Michael O’Connor


Tip of the Week:

Winter Solstice, nature’s New Year, occurs on December 21, as it always has and always will. The consistency of the Sun/Earth relationship is significant indeed. Beyond the annual, and seasonal weather probabilities and subtler variations, it is the overall status of the Sun’s light that is the real takeaway.

Of course, at the very moment of exactitude, like a New Moon, the hours of daylight begin to increase daily once again culminating at Summer Solstice.

The annual Winter Solstice event also coincides with the Sun in the sign (season/time) of Capricorn. Winter Solstice is the deeper, global, cross-cultural celebration, beyond Christmas, which some will recognize as symbolically aligned with the ‘Sun’ of God, or if you prefer, of Mother Nature, or whatever other pronoun you like. Either way, the cycle of the Sun/Earth relationship is consistent.

And around and around we go. Happy Solstice and Merry Christmas!

Be aware…while the Moon will be in social and harmonious Libra on Christmas Eve, it will be in Scorpio on Christmas Day and pushing towards a square first with Pluto (which begins later in the evening of Christmas Eve), and then continues to apply to yet another square with retrograde-Mars through Christmas morning.

All of which implies emotional tension and potential reactions. So be aware, and drive with extra care.

Weekly Horoscope:

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

The Sun in Capricorn is likely to activate a new momentum. However, it is not likely to be loud and obvious as it would be otherwise, if Saturn were not in Pisces. At worst, it will manifest as a ‘hurry up and wait’ scenario. Positively, you will feel inspired to surrender to flow mode. Other factors could also leave you feeling playful and curious.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Stepping back to assess a bigger picture and over the longer term is likely now. This deeper dive began several weeks ago. Based on returns on investments over the past months or years, you are ready to assess the worth and value of your efforts and/or the returns involved. Seeking new tools and perhaps technologies or innovative approaches is featured.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Capricorn time tends to be one of passionate embrace, yet also of a yearning to nurture new dreams on the eve of another year around the Sun. However, the dreaming can wait a little longer as the moment calls for social outreach and engagement. Your energy levels may be wavering due to Mars retrograde however, so pace yourself.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

This time of year emphasizes home and especially family. Yet, you are happy to include friends new and old as well. If you are able to achieve the top of your wish list this year, it probably includes travel, or at least some form of escape from your usual routine. If you happen to be feeling stuck at all, let the magic of imagination bring sparkle to your approach.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

That Capricorn time coincides with Christmas is somewhat awkward, at least for you because it tends to manifest as more work than play. Positively, with a good attitude, you can work playfully. Fortunately, Mercury in Sagittarius will help boost your spirits, and Venus in Aquarius will inspire desires to be even more social than usual.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Sun in Capricorn tends to awaken the child in you. A creative and festive yearning aligns well with the kaleidoscope of activities that tends to accompany the festive season. Yet, this year you might be happy to lay lower than traditionally and give more of your time, energy, and focus to creative projects and/or nurturing visions for the future.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

Capricorn time naturally brings a lot of attention to home and family for you. An added emphasis on health continues to be a central theme as well, so consider boosting your immune system before you travel or share close quality time with your significant others. Positively, Mercury in Sagittarius will inspire a social mood and Venus in Aquarius a playful one.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

The Sun in Capricorn will activate your common sense assessment of matters. Sometimes we procrastinate for emotional and other complex psychological reasons. This is your cue to break free from such saboteurs and get what really matters on your list, done. See a bigger picture to support your determination. Help your future self now.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Change is in the air and it could be stirring your fears, or at least leaving you feeling a little uncertain. The pinch includes the reality that new turns and adventures can cause others to be left behind. On the other hand, you are probably in the mood to expand and broaden your horizons. The spirit is willing, are you?

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

It has long been said that the only limitation is the imagination, referring to it being narrow, restricted, or blocked. While circumstances can certainly play a role, often it is our beliefs, perspectives, and interpretations that cause the restriction. Too much thinking and complaining can also get in the way so focus to accept what is, as gratefully as you can, and get it done.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

The time has come to go within for a while. It is a feature of a larger dynamic of paying your dues. Doing inner work is implied at this time. Where are you experiencing or expressing imbalances or excesses? These and other such questions, if sincerely asked with faith that you will receive wise answers, are examples of this work.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Looking to the future with realism and determination is the call now. In the short term, you are probably wise to reconsider your overall approach and to determine where refinements are required and where excess can be eliminated. This includes making sound assessments and getting clear regarding what you must do.
