A Week of Steady Correction
As we move deeper into December, we carry a quiet weight. The light fades earlier each evening as we search for expansive growth. This is a natural slowing as the Solstice approaches. You may notice yourself sorting through unfinished business, clearing small messes, or returning to conversations that slipped aside in recent weeks. This week demands honesty and patience as we seek to correct our course.
The Moon travels from Leo to Virgo, then to Libra, and finally into Scorpio. Each sign brings its own tone and guides our emotional focus. The early days of the week ask for visible expression, midweek brings the desire for clarity and refinement. By the weekend, the focus turns toward connection and honest communication before settling us into a deeper emotional state.
Planetary shifts add their weight, especially the Mars square to Saturn on Monday, Mercury’s opposition to Uranus, and Neptune’s change in direction on Wednesday. These events shape the week with important turning points, but not with urgency. The movement is steady and clear. Let yourself work with the reality of our days rather than pushing against it.
CLARITY THROUGH EFFORT: Monday, December 8, 2025
The Moon moves through Leo today, offering a warm and expressive tone. When the Moon is in Leo, we feel a stronger pull toward public and visible presence. Today asks for honesty and warmth. Let yourself speak and act in a way that reflects your truest nature, without trying to impress others.
At 7:15 pm EST, Mars forms a square to Saturn. This is the final square in a cycle that began with their conjunction in April 2024. You now enter the release phase of that long process of stabilising action. Mars pushes for action. Saturn requires accountability. When they meet in this way, you see the results of your earlier choices. If something has reached its limit, you will feel it. If you have outgrown an approach, you will understand the need to change course. This is a natural point of correction; don’t treat it as something to fight against. Allow yourself to acknowledge what can no longer move forward and what still matters enough to continue.
- What effort has reached its natural shifting point?
- Where do you feel ready to adjust your direction?
- What does generosity look like to you today?
STEADY EXPRESSIVENESS: Tuesday, December 9, 2025
The Moon continues through Leo today, keeping the emotional tone open and expressive. When the Moon is in Leo, your interactions benefit from warmth and direct presence. You may feel more willing to show enthusiasm or affection, or to speak clearly about what you value. This is a good day to bring a genuine feeling to something you care about.
There are no major planetary aspects today, so the rhythm is calm and you can move at your own pace. Keep the day simple. Do what strengthens your confidence and step away from situations that feel forced. If possible, let go of any obligations and move forward in what makes you feel bright and alive.
- Where can you show up with sincerity today?
- What strengthens your confidence?
- What part of your day needs more heart and less hesitation?
A SHIFT IN FOCUS: Wednesday, December 10, 2025
The Moon enters Virgo at 2:20 am EST, bringing the emotional tone of the week toward practicality and refinement. When the Moon is in Virgo, we notice details that, at times, are easy to overlook. You may feel drawn to organise, clean, refine, or sort through something that needs a clearer structure. This is not nitpicking. It is significant care and focused attention. Let the early hours of the day set a grounded pace.
Neptune stations direct at 7:23 am EST. This marks a transition in how you experience both meaning and confusion. When Neptune gets clearly into forward motion, misunderstandings, confusion, and fog begin to lift. This will take time, but in the coming days, you may find clarity where it has been sorely lacking and may help you sort out what is true from what has been wishful thinking.
At 2:58 pm EST, Mercury opposes Uranus. This brings full illumination to a cycle that began with the conjunction of Mercury and Uranus in May 2025. Mercury seeks understanding as Uranus wakes us up through disruptions. This opposition is meant to wake us from our slumbers and bring something into plain sight. A conversation may reveal more than you expected. You may also see a belief or assumption fall away. Give yourself time to take in the change without reacting impulsively. Let your understanding come first; responses can come later.
- What detail needs your attention this morning?
- What do you hope to clear up as Neptune changes direction?
- What message or realisation jolts you into wakefulness?
SORTING WHAT MATTERS: Thursday, December 11, 2025
The Moon moves through Virgo today, offering stability to our emotions. With the Moon in this mutable earth sign, we can more easily settle into tasks that require care. Small improvements and detailed refinements are the place to put our attention. This is a good day to handle things that have been left undone in recent days.
The Last Quarter Moon occurs at 3:52 pm EST. This marks a time to let go of what cannot continue and to close down what has served its purpose. Last Quarter phases present us with a useful opportunity. If a habit or commitment no longer makes sense, acknowledge it and make room for something that is more fitting to your needs.
Early this morning, Mercury forms a trine to Neptune. This softens communication and brings a more intuitive understanding to your thinking. Later, at 5:39 pm EST, Mercury enters Sagittarius. The tone of your thinking shifts from depth to exploration. The topics of your thinking and conversations widen. Ideas open and expand. You may feel ready to more fully grasp and express big ideas.
- What do you need to release at this Last Quarter Moon?
- What message or insight felt gentler and easier to understand this morning?
- What belief or idea becomes clearer as Mercury shifts signs?
A CHANGE IN THE AIR: Friday, December 12, 2025
The Moon begins the day in Virgo and enters Libra at 11:04 am EST. Watch as your emotions move from stable, practical thinking to relational and diplomatic awareness. When the Moon is in Libra, our attention turns toward fairness, harmony, and genuine exchange. You may find it easier to listen to others and to balance competing needs.
With no major aspects occurring during the day, you can move at an easy, natural pace. Libra encourages polite conversation, clear thinking, and thoughtful choices. This is a good day to beautify your surroundings and reach out to someone you’d like to spend time with. Keep expectations simple and let the connection itself guide you.
- Where can you bring balance and beauty into your day?
- What relationship issues need your attention?
- What decision would feel easier if you approached it with intellectual clarity?
QUIET CORRECTION: Saturday, December 13, 2025
The Moon remains in the cardinal air sign of Libra today. This keeps our emotional attention on cooperation and building connections with others. When the Moon is in Libra, our exchanges with others seek fairness and high quality. You may feel more aware of the subtle ways your relationships need tending. Use this weekend to restore something that has gone off kilter in your partnerships.
At 11:31 am EST, Mercury forms a lovely sextile with Pluto. Sextiles suggest opportunities; don’t ignore this one. The opportunity here is to deepen your conversations and deeply enrich your words. If you have been waiting for the right time to address a sensitive topic, here it is. You may also notice a shift in how you understand something personal or private. Pluto pushes for honesty. Keep your communication clean and rock solid with integrity.
- What conversation would benefit from your most powerful attention and integrity today?
- What needs to be restored between you and someone else today?
- What vulnerability can you acknowledge to another to help repair a connection?
A TURN IN THE TIDE: Sunday, December 14, 2025
Mars forms a challenging square aspect to Neptune at 6:43 am EST. This aspect stresses motivation and direction. Mars always seeks momentum, while Neptune dissolves structure. You may feel uncertain about a plan, or you may notice that your energy shifts unexpectedly. Use this as a signal to pause and reconsider what you are doing. Move gently through the morning and avoid commitments that require firm decisions. Mistakes are so easily made at this time.
The Moon remains in Libra until 10:51 pm EST, then enters Scorpio. The day supports calm interaction and cooperative thinking. Once the Moon enters Scorpio, the emotional tone deepens. Next week begins with the Moon in Scorpio; you will look inward with more honesty and feel more protective of your boundaries. The coming days will bring reflection and private contemplations.
- Where is your motivation unclear?
- Where can I simplify my plans to avoid scattered effort?
- If I feel pulled toward avoidance, what is the one issue that actually needs my attention?
This week offers many chances to correct, refine, or release what has grown heavy.
