December 2025 Patterns in the Sky, Oncoming Waves
When I look at the overall patterns of the astrology of December 2025 I see three specific landmark dates (of which I’ll describe in a bit), but the most significant pattern I can identify is the constant state of energetic stridency evenly spread across it. It is almost like waves on the water, evenly spaced, but each one significantly turbulent.
Waves in the Sky
Change is on its way. Sustained agitation of the mix comes to make the cake at the end of the process. I see a sustained period of friction that builds up energy over time, which then produces the next quantum leap for all.
We know that it was the currents of the Colorado River that carved out the Grand Canyon, in the cosmic “blink of an eye” of 70 to 30 million years.
The same goes for our lives, no moment is static inactivity, a thousand influences are impacting us every second. While we don’t live for millions of years, such as the Grand Canyon, we change quickly enough, as do our institutions, civilizations, and nations.
While some may not appreciate it, the constant assault of time over all creation will reduce the most intimidating, inscrutable edifice to grains of sand.
My point is, while the index of the waves/wind of change is stronger than usual, buffeting the ramparts of our little human castles of sand, we start to more closely resemble those other glittering grains of sand in the sky, the stars, which live for billions and billions of years.
Therefore, get ready for a little bit of amplified “en-star-ification” for the next few weeks into the new year of 2026.
I cannot see anything comfortable or good for some of the more prominent figures and institutions in society during this time. Time and the seeking prying eyes of the people of the world will penetrate the deepest darkest closets and isolated island getaways causing all sorts of “stress” and doubling down, which then leads to the next step in societies.
But let’s get to the outstanding dates of December 2025:
- Dec 8-10: Sun aspects Pluto, Mercury is on Algol, and Mars squares Saturn. Breakdown, collapse, anger, violence and shock.
- Dec 13-16: Mars quincunx Uranus and square Neptune, Sun square Saturn. Setbacks, chaos and disruption, guile and deception, malice and dysfunction, acute reactionaryism. Certainly the most intense of the three.
- Dec 20-23: Jupiter retrogrades back into sidereal Gemini, Mars biquintile Uranus, Sun square Neptune, Venus square Saturn. Disruption, deception, failures
December can then be a summing-up of the previous eleven months. What sand castles did I build, which ones collapsed. In the end what remains is the endless constant rolling of the tides against which no man can prevail long, that toothpick in the cosmos man. That nane, that ego, that briefest flash swallowed up by Time’s immensity.
Yet, if time in not real as the wisest of us say, then we are the briefest dream in the dream of time itself which does not exist. So, dont’ get too concerned about anything at all. You’ll be okay. Go with the flow.
Day by Day:
Monday, Dec 1
The Sun making minor hard aspect to Jupiter today gives hype and bluster. Best let your deeds and accomplishments speak for you, rather than your promises. Relationships move forward. (Sun sesquiquadrate Jupiter, Mars conjunct Juno)
Tuesday, Dec 2
Subtlety delivers. (Venus sextile Pluto)
Wednesday, Dec 3
Moon on Algol/Pleiades
Motivation seems lacking as is physical energy. Choose not dishonesty or dysfunctionality, rise to the occasion. Creative successes. Shocking/upsetting moments. (Sun tridecile Neptune)
Thursday, Dec 4
Full Moon Perigee (Supermoon)
Moon at full illumination closest to Earth, making a slightly bigger orb to watch over us while the Sun plunges below the horizon. A little more light can’t hurt us.
Friday, Dec 5
Mars moves into the sidereal sign of the Archer, Sagittarius. Aim far and true. Mornings can bring bold relationship dynamics. (Moon conjunct Juno and Mars)
Saturday, Dec 6
Unexpected consequences, emotional growth opportunities. New perspectives. (Venus tridecile Saturn, Mercury trine Jupiter)
Sunday, Dec 7
Mercury Greatest Elongation
Excitement for possibilities, yet realism. (Mars quincunx Jupiter, Mercury trine Saturn, Venus sesquiquadrate Jupiter)
Monday, Dec 8
Shocking developments/revelations, do not be deterred. (Sun semisquare Pluto, Mercury opposite Algol, Mars square Saturn)
Tuesday, Dec 9
Audacity for success, don’t promise too much. Luminous feelings and aspirations.\
(Sun biquintile Jupiter, Venus tridecile Neptune)
Wednesday, Dec 10
Neptune Stationary Direct
New perspectives from aloft. What may seem like a problem in a practical sense may only really be an obsolete dualism of thought. (Mercury opposite Uranus)
Thursday, Dec 11
Last Quarter Moon
Have a “jolt” from the Universe, it can only be for the good. Relax the reigns of the mind, be open. (Mercury trine Neptune, Mars conj Galactic Center, Mercury opposite Pleiades stars, Mars quincunx Uranus)
Friday, Dec 12
Geminid Meteor Shower
Time for that hard look in the mirror. (Moon opposite Saturn and Neptune)

No peaking influences
Sunday, Dec 14
The Sun moves into the constellation of Sagittarius, aim far and true. Confuse not your motivations, resist torpor, addiction, and dysfunction. Temptations. Unexpected fortunes. (Mars square Neptune, Venus semisquare Pluto, Venus biquintile Jupiter, Sun quincunx Jupiter)

Intimacy and loveliness during the first part of the day. Later, open yourselves to unexpected new developments and directions. (Moon conjunct Venus, Sun quincunx Uranus)
Saturday, Dec 20
New Moon
Pattern breakdowns and interrupts, some days weird stuff comes out. Dysfunctionality, low energy, betrayals. Jupiter retrogrades back into sideral Gemini, perhaps giving added verbosity to affairs. (Mars biquintile Uranus, Sun square Neptune, Venus square Saturn)
Sunday, Dec 21
Winter Solstice
The year’s shortest/longest day; as each hemisphere “borrows” or “sacrifices” light and heat from the Sun to/from each other. Turning from extremes to equilibrium in the spring. Nothing every stands still. Relationships favored for adventure and wonder as Juno conjuncts the Galactic Center and the Moon opposes Jupiter.

Wednesday, Dec 24
Potentials for obsessive thoughts and/or behaviors. Don’t worry, things are not as bad as they seem. Beware hidden ruthlessness, inconsiderateness, and manipulation. (Mercury semisquare Pluto)

Traditions/patterns breakdown. Butterfly emerges from the chrysalis. (Sun biquintile Uranus)
