Weekly Overview
12.24-30. 2025
In this last week of 2025 it is a really good time to reflect on the past year. The key is to do so in a way that reflects a willingness to be accountable and to learn from your struggles as well as your successes. With a Mercury square to Saturn exact on Monday the 29th, you may find yourself feeling particularly critical, a little lonely, or just generally down on yourself or your progress; this is a time to choose to learn or to do something about perceived problems. Don't end the year wringing your hands when you could take steps, even teeny tiny ones, towards progress.
As always, you can learn more about the astrology of this week by listening to the latest episode of my astrology show, Ghost of a Podcast, below or wherever podcasts are heard. To read the transcript of the latest episode just go here.
The frustration that you're feeling is an indication of what needs more care, so don't give up, Aries. It's really hard to let go of control without letting go of your investments in how things progress, but that's your assignment this week. Practice embodying your boundaries so that you are clear with both yourself and others about what you can and cannot do in a healthy way – and allow space for others to do the same.
When you're feeling burnt out or or like you more than anything just need things to end, you stop being the most reliable narrator of your own experiences. Be on the lookout for defensive reactions and scarcity-based thinking this week. It's important that you get grounded and create space inside of yourself to process your challenging emotions so that you center your values above your insecurities, Taurus.
You might find yourself in an obsessive state of mind and it won't do you any good, Twin Star. Be brave enough to identify and name your stresses because if you fixate on them or try to repress them, you will end up giving them too much power. The problems that you're having, and the things that are robbing you of your peace are the exact parts of your life that need care and attention. Learn from your past and invest in your future in the here and now.
The frustrations that you're experiencing are not just about your situation, but the way that you've been communicating with others. If you haven't been honest or direct with people lately, you're likely feeling the consequences of it now, Moonchild. This week is the time for you to honor what you do now while making space for what you don't – without leaping to assumptions.
As you change, it's inevitable that the way you show up in your relationships will shift as well. You may not know how things are going to pan out with others or in projects that you're working on, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't take risks and put yourself out there in new ways this week, Leo. Let go of your attachments to things looking any one particular way and hold space for a little bit of fertile chaos.
You are tired, Virgo, and if you don't create clear boundaries and space for true rest, you may find yourself defensive and reactive this week. You are allowed to have limitations, and it's OK for you to say what they are to people, regardless of how that makes them feel. Where you get into a sticky area is when you act out towards yourself or others, or expect people to read your mind. Own where you are at, Virgo.
Pour your heart into the people and things you care about this week and show up for what's most important to you. You're likely to be feeling a fair amount of anxiety as the year ends, in part because you've taken on and in too much lately. Honor the people and things that you care about by creating a list of priorities for where your energy will go, and organize that list by placing the things you value at the very top. Make sure that you are prioritizing having a healthy process over perfectionism, Libra.
This is a good time for you to be thinking about the foundations you want to lay, Scorpio. The places where you struggle are the same ones that require your care and attention – not your condemnation or judgment. You are growing, and taking a big picture and compassionate approach to how you relate to both yourself and others is the key. Don't let fear stop you from showing up for what you care about, this week.
This week it is important that you make conscious decisions and take accountability for their consequences. Your intuition is strong and the choice you need to make is how much you are going to honor it. There are many ways of exploring what's right for you, but the best one this week is by turning inward and tuning into the wisdom that you have within. Don't be so fixated on the outcome that you distance yourself from the process, Sagittarius.
Taking responsibility for yourself sometimes means prioritizing what you need over ease in your relationships. It's time to make things happen, Capricorn. This week is a good one to spread your wings and to try out new things. The people around you might not quite understand what you're doing and why, but if you are clear about your motivations, it's OK to let other people have their own feelings about what you're doing.
The anxiety that you're feeling is no fun, but more than that, it's a reflection of your own ambiguity about what is most needed in your situation at this time. Fighting against the reality that you find yourself in may lead to further feelings of burnout this week, but the good news is that fighting is not your only option. Aspire to cultivate more self-awareness through the practice of reflection, Aquarius. Strive to listen to yourself and others more in order to expand your perspective and your understanding of your options, Aquarius.
It's time to spread your wings and open up to possibility, Pisces. This is a powerful time for you to reflect on the faith that you have in yourself. Having faith in yourself doesn't mean that you are confident that everything you do will turn to gold – instead it means that you trust your commitment to coping with what comes to the best of your ability.
