Cosmic Insights – December 29, 2025 December 29, 2025

by Veronica G. Hartman 

The celestial week of December 29th, 2025, begins with the Sun rising in dependable, earthy Capricorn, illuminating an opportunity to be spiritually lifted up in faith and hope.  Saturn, the CEO of Capricorn, is residing in spiritual Pisces, reaping the benefits of the work that has been done in faith, of opportunities manifesting on the horizon through the emotional flowing energy of the Moon in Taurus, materializing the value of spiritual empowerment.

Meanwhile, the Moon has just entered the pastures of Taurus, to graze upon the peace found in harmony with the Sun in Capricorn.  However, there is an emotional discordant matter to be addressed before lunch with Pluto in Aquarius, over the ‘whatever’ attitude being displayed by Pluto about the personal power of detachment relevant to family values. Therefore, a morning walk to ground the celestial energy may be helpful beforehand. After the dust settles, the next couple of days are useful to work with others, to accomplish the manifestation of career and business objectives.

In the early hours of December 30th, Mercury and Sagittarius may create conflicts with Saturn in Pisces, with unsolicited, outspoken opinions about children, creativity, or romantic encounters. As Mercury in Sagittarius is currently engaged in a yod configuration, with Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, and Uranus retrograde in Taurus, there is a sense of destiny playing out in emotional turbulence regarding relationships. Thus, now is not the time to poke the bear, otherwise there may be unpredictable repercussions of an emotional nature once Uranus goes direct in February, followed by Jupiter in March of 2026.

On the morning of December 31st, the Moon shifts into clever, curious Gemini, with an emotional restless desire to kick the past year of 2025 to the curb, while accelerating on the gas to get the new year started. Gemini is playful and tends to get bored easily, so it can change plans quickly if it isn’t being entertained, thus bar hopping may be on the party agenda to bring in the new year with cheer! The caveat is that Mercury is the supervisor of Gemini, and while more than ready to turn up the volume on the merrymaking, it is now at an exact incongruent position with Uranus retrograde in Taurus, so unconscious attitude adjustments from Mercury in Sagittarius may require an alternate perception for the energy to shift from wobbling off course before the party gets started. 

At the stroke of midnight on December 31st, the New Year of 2026 begins, with the Sun in Capricorn and the Moon in Gemini, at odds with one another in a gibbous lunar phase. Thus an emotional wobble begins the year. The Sun’s steady position on this day every year is the catalyst to go after one’s goals, hence new year resolutions.  Yet the Moon in Gemini has a different idea to go off the beaten track with an emotional pioneer attitude. Therein lies the rub! The Sun in earthy Capricorn is about building foundations that stand the test of time, while the Moon in Gemini is inclined to flow with the wind, seeking emotional stimulation for motivation. Thus, incongruent energy begins the new year.  However, the new year can become a blend of energy working together to build a firm foundation that is emotionally enjoyable, with a common vision structured by emotional intelligence and playful attitudes. The key is to ground the purpose of the vision and go with the emotional flow of creation!

Although the morning breakfast of January 1st may start off with the hair of the dog on the menu if overindulgence occurred in the spirit of celebrating, as Mercury in Sagittarius squares off with Neptune in Pisces.  Therefore, there may be challenges in communicating or even considering New Year’s resolutions if there are fireworks still going off in your head.

Therefore, it could be advantageous to wait and make resolutions until the 2026 Spring Equinox anyway, as the calendar day of January 1st falls in the third quarter solar phase, which is energetically about taking responsible actions to complete the manifestation of intentions consciously or unconsciously planted in the spring of 2025. 

Later in the afternoon, Mercury settles down in serious Capricorn to contemplate the information needed to bring plans and goals of the past year to fruition. Mercury in Capricorn is more concerned about business and partnership goals for the coming year, so others who can demonstrate dependability should only be considered during the next few weeks. 

On the morning of January 2nd, the Moon wades into the emotional waters of Cancer to wind up what is left of the work week.  Although it may be more beneficial to continue with time off to recover from the holiday celebrations instead of pushing the envelope prematurely, unless work responsibilities are a brief reprieve from family affairs.
