General for Week Commencing: Monday 22 December 2025
Aries    Aries Monday 22 December 2025  Mar 21 - Apr 19
Two days after the Moon left your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery and wrapped up the last Full Moon of 2025, Monday will see the Sun follow it and Mars into your career sector. This is the point in each year, when on the December solstice the solar spotlight will always shift onto your career and professional situation, matters and options, where it will stay over the holiday period and into the first three weeks of January. While there are planets staying on in an adventurous part of your chart to keep things balanced during the critical part of the holiday period, only until next Friday. The biggest influence is Venus, who until leaving and following the Sun on Christmas Day, will continue to fuel a desire for adventure that can be used in the next phase. Venus focus is on the ‘what’ not the when, where and how, with Mercury and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment staying on until next week to help you turn your bucket list into a game plan and resolutions.
 
Taurus    Taurus Monday 22 December 2025  Apr 20 - May 20
Just in time for the holiday period, the Sun’s return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery on Monday is the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto the adventurous side of life’s fence, where it will stay over the holiday period and into the first three weeks of January. This is seven days after Mars returned last Monday for his first chance in two years to fire up a passion for adventure and a hunger for life’s richer experiences. You even start the week with the Moon here, with adventurous lunar vibes greeting the Sun from the start. Meanwhile, this will take the solar spotlight off your financial situation and money matters and until leaving your financial sector and following the Sun and Mars into an adventurous part of your chart on Christmas Day, Venus will continue to fuel your financial desires, hopes and aspirations. The Sun was all about having your eyes open and head out of the sand and with Mercury and the asteroid Juno staying on until next week to work on your financial game plan and resolutions, Venus is all about the ‘what’ and not the when, where and how.
 
Gemini    Gemini Monday 22 December 2025  May 21 - Jun 21
As is always the case on the December solstice, the Sun’s departure from your relationship sector and return to your financial sector on Monday is the point in each year when the solar spotlight shifts off your relationships and onto your financial situation and money matters. With the Moon and Mars already in your financial sector and three planets staying on in your relationship sector, this won’t be a sudden shift in focus. Instead, when the Sun leaves your relationship sector on Monday, there are still three planets in your relationship sector and one by one, they will leave and shift their focus onto money matters as well. Where the Sun is all about having your eyes open and head out of the sand, until she leaves your relationship sector on Christmas Day Venus is all about the magic. This will leave Juno, the queen of commitment and Mercury, the planet of communication who will stay on for another week to focus on leaving you with something to commit to moving forward and the communication lines open.
 
Cancer    Cancer Monday 22 December 2025  Jun 22 - Jul 22
After Mars left your busy work sector last Monday, the Sun’s departure on Monday and return to your relationship sector is going to dial things back a further notch. Whether at work or with whatever it is that keeps you busy and occupies your time, some of the frenetic pace that had been building since early last month is gone. While Venus will leave and follow the Sun into your relationship sector on Christmas Day, where the planet of love will have a chance to work her magic over the holiday period, Mercury and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment will stay on to tie up loose ends on the job front. Before leaving next Tuesday, Juno and before leaving next Friday Mercury, will not only be helping you to work smarter while working on your game plan and resolutions, but they will be working closely with the planets in your career sector who will take it from here. The Moon will form a friendly aspect to both when it not only returns for its last visit to your career sector for the year on Saturday, but a month to the day before Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams will return to spend the next 13 years here.
 
Leo    Leo Monday 22 December 2025  Jul 23 - Aug 22
When the Sun returns to your work sector on Monday, something that on the December solstice each year will always take the solar spotlight off the playful and creative side of life’s fence and shift it onto the busy side, it will be to find the Moon and Mars already here. While the Moon will leave on Tuesday, giving you a chance to move into what for many will be a short working week with your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground from the start, Mars is just six weeks into what he will be making some of the busiest weeks of both 2025 and 2026. Whether at work or with whatever it is that keeps you busy and occupies your time, this can be a busy time of year for you, but with three planets staying on, that for now will help to maintain a balance between work and play. While Venus will leave a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart on Christmas Day, Mercury and Juno, the queen of commitment will stay on until next week, giving you until next Friday to get serious about putting guardrails in place. Especially with 2026 set to get off to a busy start.
 
Virgo    Virgo Monday 22 December 2025  Aug 23 - Sep 22
It was last Monday that saw Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos leave your home and family sector and return to a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart, beginning a transition that will see the Sun and the rest of the planets follow suit. When Mars left last week, ending his last drive for another two years to get things done and make things happen on the home front he left behind the Sun, Venus, Mercury and even the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment. It was here that over the weekend that the last New Moon of 2025 brought a chance for new beginnings and second chances. This week this shift in focus will continue, with the Sun leaving and following Mars into a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart on Monday and Venus, the planet of love on Christmas Day. Mercury, the planet of communication and Juno, the queen of commitment will follow next week, but will stay on over the holiday period to keep the focus on things close to home while helping you work on your game plan and resolutions and to get and keep the communication lines open.
 
Libra    Libra Monday 22 December 2025  Sep 23 - Oct 23
When the Sun returns to your home and family sector on Monday, the point when on the December solstice each year the solar spotlight will always shift onto your relationships, it will be to find the Moon and Mars already here. While the Moon will leave on Tuesday, the timing of its last visit for the year means that when the solar spotlight shifts onto home, family and onto those rituals and routines that can help you feel grounded and can bring a sense of belonging, you will be emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware from the start. While the Sun makes you more aware and determines where a lot of your attention is drawn, Mars is here to get things done and make things happen, while when Venus returns on Christmas Day, it will be to make home where your heart is. Until then, in her final days in your communication sector and as the planet of love, Venus will be working to give your heart and your relationships a voice. Mercury, the planet of communication and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment will stay on there until next week to help you both get and the communication lines open and cement the resolve to keep them open.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio Monday 22 December 2025  Oct 24 - Nov 21
Starting with Mars last Monday and ending with Mercury next Friday, the Sun and all the faster planets in the solar system will all transition out of your income sector and into your communication sector. That they do this within the space of just 11 days is going to see a significant shift in focus, but because it is happening one by one, rather than a sudden lurch it will be a gradual shift. It began when Mars left your income sector last Monday, ending his war on income roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined and beginning his first war on communication roadblocks and barriers in two years. By the time the Sun returns on Monday, even the Moon is here, with a chance to start the week in your communication sector. Until she returns on Christmas Day to focus on giving your heart and your relationships a voice, Venus will be working to make her final days in your income sector as lucrative as possible, while Mercury and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment will use a smart head for money and a sense of resolve to tie up loose ends on the income front.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius Monday 22 December 2025  Nov 22 - Dec 21
The Sun’s departure from Sagittarius on Monday is the point in each year when on the December solstice each year, this will bring your birthday month to a close. This is two days after the Moon left, ending the last New Moon of 2025 and an opportunity for new beginnings and a chance to draw a new line in the sand, ready to commit to your new solar year, the future and the journey ahead. This will leave Venus, Mercury and the asteroid Juno behind, all with a specific role in getting this new solar year off to the most empowered start. Until leaving Sagittarius on Christmas Day and following the Sun and Mars into your income sector, Venus will continue to give your heart a voice and a say in what you want from the coming year. Venus is all about the ‘what’ rather than the when, where and how. That is the domain of Mercury and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment, who will stay on until next week to help you fine tune your game plan and resolutions for the coming year and to get and keep the communication lines open.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn Monday 22 December 2025  Dec 22 - Jan 19
When the Sun returns to Capricorn on Monday, something that on the December solstice will always bring you to the start of your birthday month and new solar year, it will be to find the Moon and Mars already here. While the Moon is only passing through and will leave on Monday, as well as a chance to move into your new solar year emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware from the start, its alignment with Mars is giving you an early read on the planet of passion and the warrior planet’s influence. It has been two years since Mars was last in Capricorn, where he will spend six weeks fuelling your passions, drive, warrior and competitive spirit while looking for something to channel this into. Meanwhile, with Venus not leaving a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart and returning to Capricorn until Christmas Day and Mercury and Juno, the queen of commitment not until next week, there is an overlapping of the past, present and future. This allows you to open and explore new doors, without having to close old doors just yet.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius Monday 22 December 2025  Jan 20 - Feb 18
While the Sun’s return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart on Monday, something that on the December solstice each year will bring you to the start of the month long wind down of your old solar year makes this the point when you will find it easier to take your foot off the gas, you will find that this has already begun. It was Mars’ return last Monday to find the six week wind down of your current two year Mars cycle that may have already taken the wind out of your sails, with the planet that is all about taking action, ready to take a break. Especially when it comes to time out to recharge both your physical and your social batteries. While until leaving a social and serendipitous part of your chart and joining the Sun and Mars on Christmas Day, Venus will keep you socially engaged and connected, she too will soon bring a desire to unplug or at least be more selective. The days of time of always being available are drawing to a close, with time for personal space increasing.
 
Pisces    Pisces Monday 22 December 2025  Feb 19 - Mar 20
While the Sun’s departure from your career sector on Monday is the point in each year when on the December solstice the solar spotlight will always shift off your professional game and onto your social life, friendship, teamwork and connecting, this was a shift that began last Monday. It was Mars’ departure from your career sector last Monday that brought his six week push to give this professional year as much professional momentum end, while seeing him return for his first visit to your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking in two years. The week even begins with the Moon here, with this last visit for the year ending on Tuesday, two days before Venus returns on Christmas Day to spend Christmas and the holiday period here. It is Mercury and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment who will stay on in your career sector, giving you until next Friday to tie up the loose ends of this professional year and refine your personal and professional game plan, goals and resolutions for 2026.
