Too many commitments
At the beginning of the astrological month, the fast-moving planets are still transiting your sign: Venus will remain in conjunct until December 24th, Mercury until January 1st; then both will join Mars in your second field , but Venus will be fast enough to sextile your third field in Aquarius as early as January 17th. Meanwhile, regarding the slower planets, the first decan receives Pluto 's sextile at the beginning Aquarius , while the third decan is involved in the squares of Saturn and Neptune in Pisces . Overall, a fairly balanced month is expected, although perhaps less relaxing than expected. In particular, some days will call for commitment and patience: for example, December 25th or 26th, January 1st, 2nd, or 8th. The most peaceful and productive days will be December 23rd and 28th, and January 5th, 9th, 14th, 15th, and 19th.
Construction directions
Mars already left your sign on December 15th, while Venus and Mercury —as we've seen—are still keeping you company until December 24th and January 1st, respectively. It's as if they wanted to spend the holidays with you! Indeed, the astrological month begins in a lively but not stressful atmosphere, even pleasant: the first half of December was likely more challenging. In a certain sense, the swift-moving planets have helped you maintain, or if necessary, regain, personal harmony, and the upcoming holidays will be an opportunity to transmit, share, and demonstrate it. When Mercury joins Mars in your second field at the beginning of January, it's likely that thoughts will transform into more concrete facts, feelings into more solid motivations, and you yourself will feel ready to return to the field (of battle or sowing?) of life, with a wealth of experiences to channel in constructive directions. In this process, your Jupiter in the eighth field , still retrograde, perhaps has the uncomfortable role of guiding you through honest, useful assessments, reflections, and elaborations, ferrying you toward a future free from burdens but enriched by the legacy of the past. In short, not just idealistic expectations or somewhat naive hopes: rather, realistic plans, responsible behavior, legitimate yet contextualized desires, and calibrated on the basis of objective capabilities and opportunities.
The highest and the best
As I mentioned above, the first part of the astrological month (which is actually the last part of the year) finds you quite serene, perhaps a little tired, but still satisfied. Let's just say that, at least generally speaking, you're in good physical shape and your spirits are high! Certain work-related urgencies are weighing you down, as are certain family worries, but you still have reserves of energy to tap into, finishing what needs to be finished, resolving what can be resolved... and putting off the rest without too much guilt. Indeed, even though you know you can't do everything, you're proud of what you've accomplished during this not-always-easy 2025. Thus, you'll be able to enjoy the holidays with the same approach: generous, helpful, proactive; also adaptable to family or work circumstances or schedules. Obviously, you'd prefer to unwind rather than relax (let's just say that for you, relaxation is a byproduct of leisure), and perhaps treat yourself to a vacation out of town, stimulating social or cultural events, or some original initiative, rather than being bored at home. Yet, even traditional celebrations can offer you emotional enrichment. However, avoid engaging in sensitive discussions with your partner or relatives, perhaps during a lunch, dinner, or get-together! Or, even if it does happen, try to show your openness to the fullest. You'll see that the effort to avoid pointless arguments will pay off.
First decade
While Pluto continues its sextile , your Sun isn't directly affected by the ongoing transits. Only Venus moves into sextile on January 17th (a few days earlier than the other fast-moving planets). In short, a fairly peaceful period awaits you, but with greater opportunities and satisfactions in the second half. There are intriguing opportunities for singles!
Second decade
Mercury remains in conjunct until December 26th, ushering in a pleasant Christmas filled with excitement, perhaps a change from your usual routine, and featuring some original initiatives. You'll particularly enjoy spending time with friends, perhaps even on vacation, but you'll also be able to liven up more traditional celebrations with family. Communication with your partner will improve.
Third decade
Venus 's conjunct will affect you until December 24th, and Mercury 's from December 26th to January 1st. Meanwhile, Saturn and Neptune continue their squares, but you still feel calm and motivated. You may have to make some sacrifices in planning the holidays, but that won't diminish the value of spending time with loved ones.
