Hi Stargazers!
It’s the first week of the year, and the New Year is just getting underway.
Around this time, many of us spend extra time with family and loved ones. In astrology, the season of Capricorn (December 22 to January 20) is often linked with responsibility, tradition, and long-term goals, and it sits opposite Cancer, a sign associated with home and family. Together, they’re a reminder of something simple: humans are built for connection. Even when we’re far apart, we can still feel close, across distance, time, and circumstance.
Not just with our families, but with everyone. Family is where we first learn how to relate to others: how to listen, care, disagree, and reconnect. Those early lessons shape how we interact beyond our homes: with friends, coworkers, neighbors, and even strangers.
The more we practice meaningful connection within our own circles, the more we understand that connection itself isn’t limited by distance or circumstance. Separation doesn’t mean a bond is broken. It simply means it’s being carried in a different way across time, space, and experience.
This stands out especially this week because experiences like abandonment, exclusion, or even exile can feel like the end of connection. But even when we’re pushed apart socially or physically, we’re still connected at a deeper level by our shared humanity.
At the same time, real unity can’t be forced. It has to be built, chosen, and steady enough to last. Most of us are seeking that sense of belonging, of being accepted, included, and “in sync” with life. And while that feeling is powerful, what we’re really looking for is genuine union: connection that’s real, mutual, and grounded.
In that spirit, 2025 has been a year focused on reunion and restoring bonds. 2026 turns the wheel again, opening a new chapter and a new level of growth. I’ll share more on that in my 2026 forecast.
One takeaway from this week—symbolized by the full moon in Cancer—is that real union happens when the “ground” beneath us is steady. Connection grows best when life feels stable, and stability comes from having our priorities straight. When we live in alignment with what we hold sacred: our values, our purpose, our sense of the Divine, things tend to settle into place.
As we step into the new Gregorian year, here’s something to hold onto: the way we move forward can reshape how we understand what came before. In other words, the future can bring healing to the past, not by erasing it, but by giving it new meaning and a better outcome.
There is a promised unity available to all of us. The question is how quickly we reach it, and that depends on how we choose to live, act, and connect with one another.
That promised unity can change what the past means. It can turn old division into something we grew through, and transform exclusion or rejection into preparation, not failure.
Even science offers a helpful parallel: sometimes what we learn after an event changes how we interpret what came before. New information can reshape the story. In the same way, redemption can work “backward,” bringing context and meaning to what once felt like fragmentation.
If we live this week with awareness, it can help heal last year’s sense of fragmentation.
So, the week ahead isn’t about rushing into action. It’s about alignment. This isn’t about fixing everything at once, it’s about quieting the inner noise that keeps us scattered, and returning to what’s aligned with what we know is Divine within us.

TEACHINGS OF THE TRANSITS
Sunday, December 28, 2025
Today supports healing conversations and gentle breakthroughs. Words have the power to mend old misunderstandings, especially ones tied to confidence, learning, or feeling “heard.” This is a good day to speak honestly, write reflectively, or name something that’s been quietly asking for resolution. Insight comes more easily when we’re kind with ourselves.
Monday, December 29, 2025
This is an ideal day for integration, letting recent insights settle into something practical. Small, grounded actions feel more productive than big gestures. What we nurture today can grow slowly but lastingly. Focus on stability, simplicity, and what genuinely sustains us.
Tuesday, December 30, 2025
Reality checks arrive today. Conversations may feel heavier, more serious, or slowed down by responsibility. This isn’t a setback it’s an invitation to think long-term. Choose clarity over urgency. Speak carefully, listen closely, and don’t confuse discipline with limitation.
Wednesday, December 31, 2025
As the year closes, Mercury reaches the final degrees of Sagittarius, pressing up against big ideas, beliefs, and visions for the future. At the same time, its tension with Saturn and Neptune can bring mixed signals: realism versus hope, faith versus doubt, clarity versus confusion. We may feel torn between what we want to believe and what feels practically possible. This isn’t a day for final answers or big declarations. Instead, notice where expectations need grounding and where fear may be clouding intuition. Let uncertainty exist without forcing conclusions.
Thursday, January 1, 2026
The day begins with foggy thinking or mixed signals. Be mindful of assumptions, misinformation, or idealized expectations. By evening, Mercury enters Capricorn, grounding the mind and restoring focus. What felt confusing earlier can now be approached with practicality and intention. Let clarity replace wishful thinking.
Friday, January 2, 2026
A turning point in healing. Something that’s been quietly processing beneath the surface begins to move forward. This isn’t dramatic, it’s steady. We may notice renewed motivation to address an old vulnerability with more confidence and self-trust.
Saturday, January 3, 2026
The Full Moon brings emotional awareness and illumination. What’s been building internally becomes visible. This is a moment of balance between past and future, inner needs and outer responsibilities. Let yourself acknowledge what’s complete and what’s ready to evolve.

HOROSCOPES
♈️ Aries: March 21 – April 19
This week asks you to trade speed for precision. A conversation—or a realization—highlights where you’ve been pushing past something tender. Don’t muscle through the moment. When you choose restraint, your confidence becomes cleaner, sharper, and harder to derail.
♉️ Taurus: April 20 – May 20
Your nervous system wants simplicity. The mental noise of the week can’t compete with what your body already knows. Choose fewer inputs, steadier rhythms, and decisions you can live inside long-term. Stability isn’t a personality trait—it’s a practice.
♊️ Gemini: May 21 – June 20
Your mind is active, but not all momentum is progress. Words may feel heavier than usual, and expectations harder to read. You don’t need to over-explain yourself. As the week moves forward, your thinking becomes more strategic—less improvisation, more intention.
♋️ Cancer: June 21 – July 22
Old feelings surface—not to pull you backward, but to show you how far you’ve come. This is a week for emotional honesty without emotional spirals. Let care be reciprocal. You’re allowed to need what you give.
♌️ Leo: July 23 – August 22
You’re refining what you do for love versus what you do for recognition. This week makes it clear where you’ve been performing—subtly, even to yourself. Step back into what’s real. Your presence gets more powerful when it’s not auditioning.
♍️ Virgo: August 23 – September 22
Your inner critic has strong opinions this week, but it’s not the voice of wisdom. Mercury’s tension invites you to reorganize your thinking—not perfect your life. Choose compassion as a strategy. By week’s end, clarity returns and you feel more in control—without gripping so tightly.
♎️ Libra: September 23 – October 22
You can’t keep the peace and keep betraying yourself. This week highlights where you’ve been smoothing things over instead of saying what’s true. The right honesty doesn’t create chaos—it creates alignment. Let things be clean, even if they’re not comfortable.
♏️ Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
Healing moves when you stop trying to master the outcome. This week supports private breakthroughs: a release, a decision, a quiet turning point. You don’t need to explain your process. You just need to stay loyal to your truth.
♐️ Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
Your beliefs are updating. You may feel pressure to define the next chapter, but you don’t need a final answer yet. Let curiosity lead without forcing certainty. As the week unfolds, your vision becomes more practical—less wandering, more direction.
♑️ Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
Your mind gets sharper and your priorities get simpler. This week supports boundaries, better systems, and more honest self-leadership. What used to feel heavy becomes manageable when you stop carrying what isn’t yours. Think less about proving—more about building.
♒️ Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
Your ideas are evolving, but the timing isn’t about visibility—it’s about refinement. This week is better for editing than announcing. Let uncertainty do its job; it’s part of the creative process. The clearest insight arrives when you stop forcing a conclusion.
♓️ Pisces: February 19 – March 20
Sensitivity is a gift—until it becomes porousness. This week calls for clean boundaries and clearer language, especially around what you will and won’t hold. Ground yourself in something tangible. When you simplify, your intuition gets sharper, not quieter.
