CHRISTMAS WEEK ENERGIES✨🎄🌀❄
22–28 December 2025
Following the Winter Solstice❄, we officially enter the final quarter of the astrological year. This sacred threshold invites reflection, integration, and trust in what has not yet fully revealed itself.
This is a moment to evaluate our progress in relation to our goals and dreams. To observe how we use or waste our time. To reflect on how we invest our energy and inner resources, so we may consciously reinvent and transform the way we move through life and toward the future. It is also a preparatory phase, laying the foundations for a new beginning that will be born with the Spring Equinox in Aries.
This closing phase of the solar cycle is clearly expressed through the strong activation of Capricorn, which dominates the astrological landscape of the week. The week opens with the Moon in Capricorn, alongside the Sun and Mars, and on Christmas Eve, Venus also enters the sign, further emphasizing themes of responsibility, maturity, and long-term vision.
This is the season when the promises you made to yourself throughout 2025 begin to demand form. Dreams alone are no longer enough. What is required now is structure, practical steps, and grounding. The energy calls you to discern which parts of yourself are ready to move to the next level and which still need discipline, healing, or release.
The final days of December align you with a more mature version of yourself, one that is willing to take responsibility for both its light and its shadow, and to do what is necessary even when it feels demanding or uncomfortable.
✨🎄On Tuesday, December 23rd, Venus at 28° Sagittarius, the degree where the New Moon occurred, in a quincunx with Uranus at 28° Taurus, brings both a rupture and a revelation.
Something within you can no longer fit into outdated patterns or expectations. Your needs are calling for freedom, while another part of you longs for stability and security. This inner contradiction is a sign of emotional evolution and maturity.
This energy redefines the boundaries of love, values, and self-worth. You may experience unrest in relationships, self-esteem, or financial choices. Yet beneath the tension lies a clear message: do not force yourself to remain where you have already begun to suffocate. What is required now is flexibility and awareness, not impulsive or dramatic decisions.
✨🎄On Christmas Eve, Wednesday, December 24, the atmosphere becomes more romantic yet more complex. Venus forms a square with Neptune at 29° Sagittarius–Pisces, saturating the emotional field with longing, nostalgia, heightened sensitivity, and a desire for miracles. Hearts open more easily, yet discernment becomes more elusive, as the line between truth and wishful thinking grows thin.
These are days when you may feel inclined to give more than you truly can, to rescue, to forgive, or to believe in a promise that feels luminous but lacks substance. In relationships, creative pursuits, and financial matters, awareness is essential so that the desire for love, unity, and devotion does not lead to illusion or one-sided sacrifice.Yet this same energy carries a deeper message during the festive season.
True love does not need to be idealized or salvational to be sacred. It simply needs to be sincere, compassionate, and aligned with the soul’s truth.
A few hours later, Venus leaves Sagittarius and enters Capricorn,grounding the vision into reality.
Love and creativity now seek form, durability, responsibility, and commitment. Here, feeling alone is not enough, what matters is what you are willing to build.
In Capricorn, Venus does not promise instant gratification or emotional excess. Instead, she offers stability, reliability, and substance. Relationships are filtered through maturity, inviting you to see what can withstand time, what has real foundations, and what was sustained only by hope or expectation. This energy encourages emotional and financial investment only where consistency, trust, and integrity exist.
Until January 17th, while Venus remains in Capricorn, the heart learns to love through actions rather than promises. It learns to honor its value through conscious choices that respect time, energy, and personal boundaries.
✨🎄Thursday, December 25th, Christmas Day, and Friday, December 26th, unfold without major planetary aspects, yet they are quietly supportive and infused with gentle notes of love. The Moon in Pisces forms harmonious sextiles with the Sun and Venus in Capricorn, creating a soft atmosphere of tenderness, emotional connection, and healing.
These days offer a calm, restorative energy, ideal for rest, meaningful connection, introspection, and forgiveness. They invite you to release the pressure of previous days, to listen to your emotions without the need to analyze them, and to simply allow yourself to feel.
✨🎄On Saturday, December 27th, the Moon reaches its First Quarter 🌓 at 6°17′ Aries ♈, testing your relationship with action and initiative. The First Quarter phase always represents a crisis of action—a point where intention alone is no longer sufficient.
The Moon in Aries urges movement and immediacy, while the Sun in Capricorn calls for strategy and patience. This inner tension may manifest as restlessness, fatigue, or a desire to break free from stagnation. Rather than forcing outcomes, choose one small, conscious step forward. Act with faith, and allow the rest of the process to unfold naturally, like a seed quietly ripening beneath the soil.
✨🎄On Sunday, December 28th, the week concludes with the deeply healing trine between Mercury and Chiron at 22° Sagittarius–Aries. This aspect opens a gateway to understanding something that previously felt inaccessible. Thoughts gain clarity, conversations become honest and liberating, and an old wound begins to lose its emotional charge.
You may speak words that purify. You may write something that releases you. You may finally understand the roots of certain reactions or behaviors. This is a day when truth does not wound, it illuminates, softens, and creates space for forgiveness and resolution.
Overall, this week marks a journey from confusion to clarity, from emotional excess to grounded awareness. Any tension that arises serves as guidance, showing you what needs to change, what needs to be released, and what deserves commitment.
You move from sensitivity toward alignment, and what ultimately remains is the sense that you can create something real, authentic, and truly yours, something capable of enduring.
This week acts as a bridge between what you have felt and what you are now ready to embody and enact. A bridge between the old cycle and the new.
As the calendar year draws to a close, you may feel suspended between who you once were and who you are becoming. This is the moment to recognize how 2025 transformed you, how you navigated its challenges, and how many old patterns and identities you have already outgrown.
It is time to honor what is ending, consciously choose what you will carry forward, and begin setting intentions for how you wish to move through life from this point on.
2026 will be different, not because the year changes, but because you have changed.✨
Wishing you a wonderful week
And a blessed Christmas season to all!✨❄🎄🕊☮
With love💓💓💓
