Astrology Forecast December 29, 2025 – January 4, 2026

You may sense an inner urge today to get more organized, close loops, and set the stage for a clean transition into the new year.

Today’s Taurus lunar energy helps you slow down just enough to do things well rather than rushing through your to do list. If you have been craving more physical stability or a clearer sense of direction, today’s earthy mood provides exactly that.

Later in the morning* the Taurus Moon forms a square to Pluto in Aquarius. This can stir deeper emotions, revealing where you might still be holding tension or fear about the future.

The square is not here to intimidate you. Instead it invites you to recognize how far you have come and to release outdated stories that no longer match who you are becoming.

If any challenging feelings surface, sit with them calmly. Taurus energy supports gentle processing. You may discover that the emotions are simply signaling a shift in personal power. A grounded approach today helps soothe the intensity of this aspect.

As the afternoon unfolds, the practical Taurus Moon keeps you focused on tasks that bring closure. You might find yourself reorganizing a room, finishing a lingering work responsibility, or tying up financial details.

This is the kind of day when slow, thoughtful progress feels surprisingly satisfying. If you have been overwhelmed by responsibilities, breaking everything down into small, doable steps can lighten the load considerably.

Tuesday, December 30: Soft Focus & Subtle Shifts

Tuesday continues the earthy influence of the Taurus Moon, but the mood has a more fluid and intuitive undertone. In the morning the Moon in Taurus makes a gentle semi square to Neptune in Pisces. This can create a soft haze around decision making, so give yourself time to wake up fully before committing to anything important. The aspect encourages imagination but can also make you more sensitive to the emotional atmosphere around you. If boundaries feel loose, you may need a little grounding. Creative tasks flow well, but anything requiring strict precision might feel slippery.

By mid day the energy stabilizes, and you may feel more productive. Later in the afternoon the Moon in Taurus forms a bi quintile with Mercury in Sagittarius, supporting innovative thinking and unexpected insights. You may come up with a fresh solution to a long standing issue or find inspiration in an unlikely conversation. This is a good time to capture ideas before they drift away.

Early evening brings one of the day’s most supportive aspects as the Moon in Taurus forms a sextile with Jupiter in Cancer. This lifts your mood and reminds you of the abundance available when you choose gratitude. Emotional generosity grows, making it easier to connect warmly with others.

Wednesday, December 31: Curious Crossroads

Wednesday carries the energy of shift and transition, appropriate for the final day of the year. In the morning Mercury in Sagittarius forms a quincunx with Uranus in Taurus. This may bring surprising information, sudden changes of mind, or the need to adapt quickly. Although the aspect can feel slightly awkward, it nudges you to stay flexible and open minded. Unexpected insights reveal what needs adjusting as you move into the new year.

A little later the Moon enters Gemini, lightening the atmosphere and boosting curiosity. Gemini energy encourages exploration, conversation, and movement. Even if your plans for the day are simple, your mind is likely to feel more active. This is a wonderful time for journaling, catching up with friends, or simply observing your surroundings with fresh eyes.

Around mid day the Moon in Gemini forms a trine with Pluto in Aquarius, deepening your intuition and strengthening your ability to read between the lines. This can help you understand your emotional motivations more clearly. The blend of Gemini air and Aquarian transformation invites a forward thinking mindset. You may feel as though you are stepping across an energetic threshold.

Thursday, January 1: New Year Clarity

The first day of 2026 arrives with mental fog and clarity taking turns. In the morning Mercury in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces, creating a dreamy quality that can blur boundaries or make communication feel mysterious. Do not rush into conclusions or assume you have all the information. Give conversations room to unfold gently and trust your intuition more than your first impression.

As the day progresses Mercury enters Capricorn, grounding your thoughts and bringing a strong desire for structure and long term vision. This shift helps you organize your ambitions for the year. Mercury in Capricorn values slow, strategic progress and supports conscious planning. If you have been unsure about how to approach certain goals, you may find that a sense of inner confidence returns.

Friday, January 2: Emotional Mirrors

Friday opens with the Moon entering Cancer, heightening sensitivity and deepening emotional awareness. Cancer energy invites you to nurture yourself and others while tuning in to your inner needs. If you have been craving rest or comfort, today offers space for emotional replenishment.

Shortly after the Moon’s shift, the Moon in Cancer forms an opposition with Mercury in Capricorn. This creates a dynamic pull between feelings and logic. You may find yourself trying to balance practical responsibilities with the desire to retreat or protect your emotional space. Conversations may require extra patience, as people communicate from either the head or the heart, but not always both. However, this aspect can help you understand your true needs if you are willing to listen gently to yourself and others.

Saturday, January 3: Illuminated Release

Saturday brings a Full Moon in Cancer, highlighting themes of emotional security, home, and personal foundations. Full Moons illuminate what is ready to be released, and this one asks you to let go of anything that blocks your sense of safety or forward movement. Old habits, outdated coping mechanisms, or unresolved emotional patterns may rise into awareness. Instead of resisting them, acknowledge what they have taught you and allow them to fade.

Cancer energy loves comfort but also understands renewal. This Full Moon is a powerful reminder to trust your intuition and honor your inner rhythms. If you feel guided to rest, do so. If you feel called to declutter or reorganize your space, follow that impulse. The next two weeks form a healing cycle that can free you from emotional weight and support your journey into 2026 with openness and faith.

Sunday, January 4: Fire Of Self Renewal

Sunday shifts the emotional tone as the Moon enters Leo in the morning. Leo energy encourages joy, creativity, and self expression. This is a day to focus on yourself in a healthy and revitalizing way. You may feel inspired to revisit your dreams, reconnect with your passions, or simply enjoy activities that bring delight.

Early in the day the Sun in Capricorn opposes the Moon in Cancer, forming the peak of the Full Moon energy from Saturday. This brings clarity about the balance between personal needs and outer responsibilities. Shortly after, the Moon in Cancer forms an opposition with Mars in Capricorn, sparking motivation but also stirring emotional intensity before the shift into Leo. Once the Leo energy settles in, you may feel energized and ready to move forward with renewed confidence.
