Avoid trying to satisfy high expectations from others — and yourself — at the start of this week. When the spirit-guiding sun in gregarious Sagittarius squares rigid Saturn in escapist Pisces on Tuesday or Wednesday (depending on your time zone), it’s best to focus on your immediate tasks and needs, and stop trying to make everyone happy. You can let go of any guilt that happens to crop up by shifting your attention toward what you can actually accomplish right now.
You may notice that there’s more optimism in the air when a fresh lunar cycle begins in spontaneous Sagittarius on Friday. The final new moon of 2025 will offer us an excellent chance to set goals for the future that align with our highest truths. Use the power of this lunation to push past any insecurity you might feel and have faith in your ability to bring your ideas to life.
Then, you’ll be wise to pay attention to your energy levels on Saturday, as the ego-ruling sun in domineering Sagittarius squares dreamy Neptune in temperamental Pisces. It may be challenging to drum up enthusiasm for your day-to-day activities during this testy aspect, so instead of pushing yourself to the limit, allow yourself to indulge a little holiday escapism and relaxation. You might also find that your creativity spikes under this energy, making it a fantastic moment to dive into hobbies, artistic pursuits and baking. Don’t be afraid to take things extra slow.
Finally, prepare to get cosy with the ones you love as we greet the winter solstice on Sunday. The longest night of the year calls us to sit back and really consider how we want to step into the year ahead. And as the vitality-driving sun enters resourceful Capricorn, our ideas also tend to sharpen, helping us lay the groundwork for what we want to build. As the sun moves through the cardinal earth sign, seize this opportunity to start conceptualizing what you want 2026 to look like and get ready to roll up your sleeves.

Butting heads with the people you love from time to time is normal, Sagittarius.

This is a brilliant moment to explore innovative money-management strategies and learn to truly appreciate what you already have.
Capricorn
Is your restless mind craving a reset, Capricorn? Give yourself the gift of peace this week by withdrawing into your safe space whenever you get the chance. Spending more time in solitude might even help you gain a better understanding of how you show up in your relationships and how others express their love. Then, this weekend, you’ll be wise to fight against the urge to react swiftly, especially when it comes to work matters.

This week, prepare to stand confidently and have faith in your vision for the future, especially when it comes to your career. Then, if you’ve noticed that your energy levels have been lower than usual lately, they could begin to rise as Capricorn season arrives this weekend. Enjoy bringing excitement back into your social sphere by reconnecting with your friends and exchanging creative ideas. You may want to consider how building community helps to heal your heart when the days are their darkest.
