December 1st - 7th, 2025
The astrology for this week of December 1st through the 7th of 2025 lifts the tone and brightens the spirit.
Oh, the Negative Nancys and the Debbie Downers and the Eeyores in our society may harp on the half glass of water as half empty and quickly draining, but if we avoid those with myopic vision and negative mindset, we can fully enjoy this time of year and the holidays engagements.
With the Sagittarius Stellium — the Sun, Mars, and Venus all in the sign of the Archer — curiosity rises, horizons widen, and optimism increases. The mood becomes more adventurous, less shadowed by recent anxieties, and more eager to look outward and upward. If we maintain an attitude of gratitude, the Law of Attraction works in our favor, drawing supportive people, fortunate moments, and flashes of insight that remind us how large life truly is.
We are entering December with a renewed willingness to explore. Foreign cultures, fresh ideas, unexpected conversations — all hold meaning now.
The upcoming Gemini Full Moon asks us to balance wide‑ranging aspirations with attentiveness to the people and commitments close at hand. And as Mercury triggers the Water Grand Trine over the weekend, thought deepens and intuition sharpens, offering a grounded sense of inner guidance. This week encourages both expansion and reflection, celebration, and discernment — each in its right measure.
Monday, December 1st – Fast out of the Gate Without Clear Discernment – Mars, Jupiter, Moon Void-of-Course. Monday begins this week with the Moon finishing its transit of Aries and with the Aries Moon trine Mars and the Moon square Jupiter. The Moon then goes Void-of-Course for nine hours with the Moon making no further connections to the planets as the Moon completes its transit of Aries and before the Moon enters Taurus.
Tone: Energized, impulsive, eager to move.
Background: The Aries Moon trines Mars and squares Jupiter before going Void-of-Course.
Best Practices: Channel enthusiasm into meaningful priorities.
Pitfalls: Rushing without a plan; taking on too much.
How to Use It: The week begins with force. The Moon in Aries trines Mars and squares Jupiter, creating a burst of energy and a sense that everything must happen at once. Many are returning from long holiday weekends fueled, refreshed, and ready for action. This enthusiasm is wonderful, but without a clear itinerary it can lead to scattering energy rather than advancing goals. When the Moon goes Void-of-Course for nine hours [1:14 PM EST – 10:13 PM EST] , tasks lose traction. Prioritize, act early, and avoid overcommitting. What doesn’t get done efficiently today can be handled later in the week with more focus.
Tuesday, December 2nd – Considerations without Implementations – Pluto, Venus. Tuesday has the Moon in Taurus square Pluto. Venus sextiles Pluto.
Tone: Reflective, selective, thoughtful.
Background: Taurus Moon squares Pluto; Venus sextiles Pluto.
Best Practices: Explore possibilities; listen deeply.
Pitfalls: Forcing outcomes prematurely.
How to Use It: This is a day for thinking rather than acting. Venus sextile Pluto deepens perception while the Taurus Moon square Pluto cautions against trying to impose outcomes. The best use of the day is to engage in dialogue, explore alternatives, and welcome new perspectives. Encounters may bring stimulating insights or broaden previously narrow viewpoints. Avoid pushing new plans into motion. Let this be a day of visioning rather than doing.
Wednesday, December 3rd – Even Outside the Box – Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Moon Void-of-Course. Wednesday continues the Moon’s transit through Taurus with the Taurus Moon today opposed Mercury, the Moon sextile Jupiter, the Moon conjunct Uranus, and the Moon sextile both Saturn and Neptune both in Pisces. The Moon then goes Void-of-Course for almost an hour [8:50 PM EST – 9:48 PM EST] as the Moon completes its transit of Taurus without making any further connections to the planets and before the Moon enters Gemini.
Tone: Innovative, productive, grounded.
Background: Taurus Moon opposes Mercury, sextiles Jupiter, conjuncts Uranus, sextiles Saturn and Neptune.
Best Practices: Work smarter, not harder.
Pitfalls: Resisting new methods; clinging to outdated routines.
How to Use It: The transcendental planets are active, urging us to adopt new approaches and streamline old methods. This is one of the most productive days of the week if we avoid rigid expectations and allow intuition, innovation, and practicality to work together. Think outside the box, apply new tools, update old systems, and embrace inspired adjustments. Take things step-by-step, integrating both experience and new technology. Success today comes from flexibility, not force.
Thursday, December 4th – Grounded in New Realities – Pluto, Venus, Gemini Full Moon, Sun. Thursday has the Gemini Moon trine Pluto, the Moon opposed Venus, and the Moon opposed the Sun at the time of the Full Moon [6:14 PM EST].
Tone: Curious yet divided; expansive yet unsettled.
Background: Gemini Moon trine Pluto, Moon opposite Venus, Moon opposite Sun at the Full Moon.
Best Practices: Balance the new with the meaningful.
Pitfalls: Abandoning what matters; chasing novelty for its own sake.
How to Use It: Today’s Gemini Full Moon highlights the tension between familiarity and exploration. Curiosity surges, and the desire to branch out is strong. But the Moon’s opposition to Venus and the Sun urges discernment: do not discard what is essential while reaching for something new. This is a moment for building a bridge between past and future — slat by slat — reviewing what has served and exploring what may call you forward. Transformation is underway, but it need not be reckless. Move with awareness, faith, and respect for your own unfolding.
Friday, December 5th – Scattered into Confusion – Lunar T-Square, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Moon Void-of-Course. The Moon continues its transit of Gemini on this Friday with the Moon triggering a Mutable Sign T-Square as the Gemini Moon opposes Mars, and the Moon squares both Saturn and Neptune both in Pisces. The Moon goes Void-of-Course for an hour [7:55 PM EST – 8:54 PM EST].
Tone: Restless, overstimulated, easily overwhelmed.
Background: Gemini Moon opposes Mars and squares both Saturn and Neptune; Moon Void-of-Course.
Best Practices: Prioritize; slow down; breathe.
Pitfalls: Running in circles; burnout; emotional reactivity.
How to Use It: The Mutable T-Square can leave us frazzled. The mind races, the schedule fills, demands compete, and nervous energy spikes. The urge is to juggle everything at once — but that creates confusion rather than accomplishment. Step away, regroup, and clarify your priorities. Holiday obligations may begin pulling us in multiple directions. Mercury will trigger the Water Grand Trine this weekend, offering a stabilizing influence — so pace yourself today.
Saturday, December 6th – Feathering the Nest – Mercury Grand Trine, Jupiter. The Moon continues its transit of Cancer but makes no connections to the planets today. Mercury triggers the Water Grand Trine with Mercury in Scorpio trine Jupiter in Cancer today, and Mercury trine Saturn in Pisces tomorrow. In accord with the Law of Three, this is the third time that Mercury triggers the Water Grand Trine with Jupiter and Saturn; the first being October 24th-25th, the second November 22nd.
Tone: Quiet, introspective, emotionally attuned.
Background: Cancer Moon; Mercury trine Jupiter (first part of the Water Grand Trine).
Best Practices: Strategize, simplify, organize.
Pitfalls: Emotional excess; nostalgic overwhelm.
How to Use It: With the Cancer Moon and Mercury trine Jupiter, today favors planning, nesting, and preparing. This is the third pass of Mercury’s Water Grand Trine since October, and it offers clarity about what must grow and what must be pruned. Instead of scattering energy, this is a day to settle, organize, blueprint, and get things in order. Yesterday’s frenzy softens into thoughtfulness. Use the day to clean, prepare, or emotionally reset. Gentle, restorative activity works best.
Sunday, December 7th – Back at it with Sober Restraint – Lunar Grand Trine, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Uranus, Neptune, Moon Void-of-Course, Mercury Grand Trine. Sunday continues with the Cancer Moon with the Moon sextile Uranus and the Moon triggering the Water Grand Trine by the Moon conjunct Jupiter, the Moon trine Mercury in Scorpio, and the Moon trine both Saturn and Neptune both in Pisces. The Moon then goes Void-of-Course for an hour [8:45 PM EST – 9:48 PM EST] as the Moon completes its transit of Cancer without making any further connection to the planets and before the Moon enters Leo. Mercury trines Saturn, completing the Mercury Water Grand Trine begun yesterday by Mercury trine Jupiter.
Tone: Deep, intuitive, emotionally charged.
Background: Cancer Moon sextile Uranus; Moon conjunct Jupiter, Moon trine Mercury, Moon trine Saturn, and Moon trine Neptune; Mercury trine Saturn.
Best Practices: Listen deeply; align intuition with practical structure.
Pitfalls: Emotional overwhelm; acting on raw feeling.
How to Use It: Today is powerful. The Moon triggers a full Water Grand Trine with Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn, and Neptune — emphasizing intuition, sentiment, spiritual clarity, and emotional intelligence. Inspiration aligns with sober strategy. Engage meaningful conversations, creative work, personal reflection, spiritual connection, or thoughtful planning. Avoid emotional overidentification; instead, let intuition guide you toward realistic, grounded insight. This is a day for truth-telling with oneself — and for recognizing the deeper meaning behind present experiences.
FINAL NOTE
This first week of December invites both adventure and reflection. The Sagittarius Stellium lifts the spirit and widens the view, urging us to explore new worlds, new ideas, and new ways of living. Yet the Water Grand Trine reminds us that depth, intuition, and memory also matter. As we move through the month, we continue our gradual recapitulation of past experiences while stepping into increasingly unfamiliar but promising terrain. The bridge between what has been and what is becoming is built day by day — with vision, gratitude, awareness, and faith.
