Astrology for December 26 2025 - January 1 2026

Mercury Squares Saturn/Neptune in Pisces, Then Enters Capricorn

On December 27, Mercury in Sagittarius trines Chiron in Aries at 22º. Chiron is slowing down to go retrograde in a few days on January 2 and is very strong as a result. The Moon is also moving through Aries today and tomorrow December 28, further emphasizing the strength of Chiron in Aries themes, such as self-respect and the confidence to assert our desires. Our desires can be louder today, and thanks to Mercury, very much on our mind. Mercury can see us able and even eager to discuss some of those desires with others. We can find some clarity around old wounds. Healing information surfaces. Feelings can be guiding our insights like a torch in the dark, and we are able to articulate our findings. A beautiful day to have hard conversations and gather important information. 

On December 29, Mars in Capricorn sextiles the North Node in Pisces and trines the South Node in Virgo at 11º. This aspect encourages motivation and ambition. We are inspired to remember our personal mission, our goals for the future, and can take important action toward achieving them. Even if it is a small or incremental action, Mars in Capricorn understands that dreams are built brick by brick. Take action or make a plan. 

On December 30, Mercury in Sagittarius squares Saturn in Pisces at 26º. Mercury in Sagittarius has us focused on big picture visions and may run into a reality check from Saturn in Pisces today. What details have been overlooked? Communications can be challenged, leading to potential arguments. We can feel blocked or restricted when trying to get our point across. Handling daily tasks can have delays. Saturn is attempting to measure our practicality and followthrough. Are we/others walking the walk or just talking the talk? 

On January 1, Mercury in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces and then enters Capricorn until January 20. Communication continues to be challenging today, as Neptune in Pisces adds some fog and confusion to exchanges. It can be difficult to see clearly, from the depth of meaning in conversations or the terms of contracts. Wait until tomorrow to respond if possible. As Mercury moves onward into Capricorn, we become more concerned with stability. We are looking for reliable options, integral solutions. Our logical minds sharpen. What offers show practical signs of something to build on? Ignore potential. Where’s the proof?
