December 6-12| Moving Forward

Good morning!

As I shared in my Saturday Email

Winter arrived fast here in Minnesota, didn’t it? One day it was fall, and the next we were plunged into deep-freeze temps. The fact that our Gemini Full Moon is also called the Cold Moon feels a little on-the-nose—and honestly, it made me laugh given the weather we’ve had.

This Full Moon brought up a lot for me emotionally. If it did the same for you…valid. I see you. There’s something comforting about remembering that we’re releasing the last bits of what we don’t want to drag into 2026. Even when it feels intense, it’s still movement. It’s still clearing.

Last week I shared that I’m offering the Astrology 2026 Outlook in written form through January 31.

Reviews are already coming in! Niki shared:“I LOVE this, thank you! Can’t wait to see what unfolds and this certainly helps me to know the timing on lots of decisions I need to make. Thank you, thank you!!”

✨ Cont. December 7, 2025

✨ Then on Sunday Mercury will make his third and final pass to Saturn. The first was on October 25, the second on November 22, and now this last one completes the cycle on December 7. Saturn loves structure and a reliable framework, so this moment can highlight how your boundaries are functioning and whether they need a little fine-tuning.

You might find yourself revisiting conversations or situations that began back in October or November—only now, they’re colored by the emotional clarity that comes from both planets being in water signs. Some people might view this as “karmic,” and you may feel a sense of resolution rising around past issues that needed closure.

It’s helpful that this final pass is happening right after the Full Moon. As we move from Full Moon back toward New, clearing out the old becomes a little easier. The timing supports each step you take to trust your intuition and release what no longer fits.

At 7:44 pm CT we enter a short Void of Course window before the Moon shifts into Leo. If you have kids, you may notice an extra burst of wiggles before bedtime—very on-brand for a Leo Moon transition.

✨ December 8 and 9, 2025

We begin the workweek under a double-Fire sky with the Leo Moon and Sagittarius Sun.

This combination can bring an optimistic, joyful, passionate spark to the start of the week—a desire for freedom, play, and being seen. A Leo Moon loves acknowledgment, and if you have strong Leo placements, you may feel that even more than usual.

A question I love to explore is: What’s the difference between acknowledgment and praise?

Acknowledgment is rooted in connection. It validates emotions and effort without tying anything to the outcome. It’s the difference between someone saying, “Good job, you got an A,” versus “How does it feel to know you worked hard and learned something?”

Praise can accidentally create a loop of “I have to perform to be noticed,” while acknowledgment supports the emotional experience without judgment.

With this creative and passionate signature in the sky, acknowledging others for their work, bravery, openness, or effort can be incredibly powerful. Under Leo energy, people can feel more sensitive to criticism—especially if they fear being singled out—so a little heart-centered validation goes a long way.

You may also notice some frustration brewing if there’s a desire to act impulsively but a sense of restriction or responsibility gets in the way. It can feel like: I have all these ideas… why can’t I just take off already?

If this comes up, be mindful of your body. Go outside. Breathe deeply. Take a walk. This energy loosens as the week continues. You’re allowed to dream big and still choose a realistic step that supports the dream. And yes—this is a great two days to let go of the need to be perfect. Easy? Not always. But if it gets tough, lean into the joy, play, and optimism the Leo Moon and Sagittarius Sun bring. See where your intuition wants to take you.

✨ December 10 and 11, 2025

The middle of the week may feel especially changeable, and for several reasons.

First, we’re working with the Virgo Moon — an earth sign that’s stable, practical, and willing to adjust if there’s a better way. As we approach the Last Quarter Moon on Thursday afternoon (2:51 pm CT), you may notice tension between wanting to expand, explore, and “do all the things,” and needing to slow down to get the details right. If frustration builds, lean on the grounding element of Earth to steady your nervous system. A walk outside, a moment of meditation, or simply placing your hand on your heart and breathing until the pressure softens can be enough.

Then, Neptune — the great dissolver — stations direct at 29° Pisces at 6:23 am. Your dreams may have been wild in the days leading up to this, and honestly, that wouldn’t surprise me. This is the last time Neptune will be in Pisces in our lifetime. Between now and January 26, when he re-enters Aries, we get a window to wrap up any Pisces-flavored unfinished business: illusions, attachments, identities, or emotional patterns that no longer serve your growth.

Hidden truths may surface. Fog may lift. You may feel like a long story is closing. In astrology, 29° Pisces is the final possible degree of the final sign of the zodiac — a symbolic ending of a major evolutionary cycle. If it feels that big to you, be curious about it. This is a moment to dream a new path while knowing Saturn follows close behind, ready to help build the structure.

As the day begins, you may also notice old thoughts resurfacing or a need to “roll with it” more than usual. Relationships from the past may come into focus, especially if new boundaries are needed for the future. If so, the sky offers plenty of energy to support you.

On Thursday, Mercury continues moving forward into Sagittarius. Even though he’s out of retrograde, we’re still in the post-shadow until December 16. This phase is all about integrating what you learned while Mercury was in Scorpio — especially around truth, trust, and emotional depth — and figuring out how those lessons apply to the bigger picture. Direction may feel clearer as we move toward the 16th.

Before Mercury enters Sagittarius, he makes his final trine to Neptune. The first was October 25, the second November 19, and now this last one arrives on December 11.

Much like Mercury’s earlier interactions with Jupiter and Saturn, this can bring insight or emotional truth — except this time both planets are moving forward. Because Neptune dissolves boundaries, this clarity can be emotional rather than logical. Trines feel fluid and supportive, yet misunderstandings are still possible. If something feels foggy, ask gentle questions to find your way.

If these days feel hard, remember the grounding nature of the Virgo Moon. With so much changeable, watery, and mutable energy in the air, things can feel floaty. Let the Virgo Moon anchor you.

✨ December 12, 2025

Friday morning the Moon shifts from Virgo into Libra at 10:04 am CT.

As the weekend approaches, you may notice a stronger desire for balance, harmony, and connection—especially if the last few days have felt a bit up and down. Libra energy invites stimulating conversations, new experiences, and a genuine pull toward fairness and one-on-one time.

And that other person you spend time with? It could absolutely be you.

Libra Moons can heighten indecisiveness, particularly when all the options feel equally appealing. Keeping the focus on yourself—your needs, your comfort, your inner voice—may feel surprisingly grounding, especially if this week hasn’t offered a clear path forward.

This is also a beautiful energy for talking through future plans, trips you might want to take, or experiences you’re craving. Whether it’s with a partner, a friend, or as a solo traveler dreaming her own path, these conversations can feel energizing and affirming.

🌙 Closing Reflection

As we move through the shifting skies of December 6–12, notice how each day has asked something a little different of you—softness, honesty, grounding, clarity, balance. We moved from the tenderness of the Cancer Moon into fiery optimism, through the dissolving waves of Neptune, and finally toward Libra’s call for harmony.

If the week felt up and down, that makes sense. The sky has been encouraging you to release what no longer fits, trust your intuition, and take one step at a time forward into what’s becoming possible.

As you head into the weekend, ask yourself:What truth surfaced this week, and how can I honor it in a way that supports my growth, my nervous system, and my joy?

May this next chapter feel spacious enough for you to breathe, dream, and choose yourself gently.

Until next week,
