Cosmic Insights – December 15, 2025 December 15, 2025

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial Week of December 15th, 2025, begins with the Sun rising in good-humored Sagittarius, illuminating an opportunity to project positive arrows of intentions to experience promises of happiness for oneself and others. As a cosmic Santa Claus is loading up a sleigh of joy, peace, love, kindness, compassion, authenticity, wisdom, generosity, resilience, patience,  guidance, and integrity for delivery to a receptive humanity to share with others. Even though Jupiter, the fortuitous and jolly ruler of Sagittarius, is retrograde in Cancer, it is more than happy to kick off the spirit of Christmas if it has room to run without feeling fenced in by the expectations of others.

Meanwhile, the Moon has just slid into tempestuous Scorpio with an emotional desire to harness the strategic power of Mars in Capricorn and take authoritative actions in a changeless, relentless reality to manifest the achievement of difficult outcomes, after handling the rebellious nature of Pluto in Aquarius to jump ship from relationships or financial commitments.

Mars, the daily manager of Scorpio, donned a business suit in the early hours of December 15th, with a business attitude to realize goals with persistent, reliable, and calculated actions to honor the process of manifesting honorable desires. A negative characterization of Capricorn could be likened to the character Scrooge, yet Capricorn is also the builder of secure foundations in the zodiac. Thus, if the next few weeks seem to be quieter during the season of celebration, Mars in Capricorn is diligently planning for the future with authoritative actions.

On the late evening of December 16th, it may seem like a cloud of hesitation has finally passed over relative to travel plans and celebrations for the holidays as Mercury officially leaves the recent retrograde cycle, yet it may still feel like the emotional anticipation of Christmas is off the mark as Jupiter, the optimistic, joyful CEO of Sagittarius, is retrograde and sensitive in Cancer.

Fortunately, the Moon skips into merry-making Sagittarius on the mid-morning of December 17th to lift emotional spirits and join in the celebratory mood with the anticipation of a child experiencing the magic of Christmas with joyous expectations.  It will be easier to get into a festive mood as the Moon, Mercury, Venus, and the Sun are all in Sagittarius, aided by Pluto in Aquarius to let the good times roll, with daring adventures and exotic getaways. Unfortunately, that leaves Saturn and Neptune in Pisces to mind the store, yet they may not be paying attention to the extravagant expenditures of the party Sagittarius is throwing as they slip away to indulge in some merry-making of their own. However, before they do, they delegate that responsibility to Uranus retrograde in Taurus, and Jupiter retrograde in Cancer to pay attention to the bottom line, who then utter bah, humbug!

On the evening of December 19th, a new moon cycle begins, in go big or go home Sagittarius, with a potential mindset that it’s important to ‘keep up with the Joneses’. However, Jupiter, the king of Sagittarius, is retrograding in Cancer, and while it may be doing its best to feel the holiday spirit, it may be more of a facade than a true expression of joy. The key is to allow yourself to feel the way you do with an intention that circumstances will become better, with a reminder of the blessings of life that cannot be experienced in exchanging gifts or lavish dinners and vacations.

This new moon cycle occurs at 29 degrees of Sagittarius, and the 29th degree is considered to be a degree of mastery relative to a higher consciousness of beliefs underscored by the phrase, “shoot for the moon even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” The key to where you land lies in what you believe to be true for yourself.

Before the day ends, with the opportunities available to swing from the chandeliers, the Moon moves into responsible Capricorn to put the emotional skids on potentially runaway trains headed for an emotional crash.
