Don’t hesitate to embrace stillness at the start of this week, but particularly as domineering Mars in outspoken Sagittarius squares rigid Saturn in aloof Pisces on Monday. This trying aspect can sometimes make it seem as though we’re facing hurdles and conflict at every turn. Fight against any feelings of frustration that happen to crop up by taking time to retreat inward and think creatively about how you want to move forward.
Exploring your fantasies could prove especially freeing when dreamy Neptune stations direct in creative Pisces on Wednesday. Over the next six weeks, the planet of inspiration and illusion will move forward through the mutable water sign, activating our imaginations and urging us to envision new possibilities for the future. This will also be the blue planet’s final trip through Pisces in our lifetime, so don’t miss your chance to look back on the last 14 years of this transit and examine how your goals and priorities have shifted.
You may start to feel more uninhibited than usual when communication-ruling Mercury enters adventurous Sagittarius on Thursday. This transit is known to open our hearts and sharpen our sense of humour, making it easier for us to connect with people from different walks of life and share our wildest ideas with them. Have fun shedding your insecurities and engaging in banter that uplifts you — just try not to lose complete control in the process. Thinking before you speak and employing a little self-awareness can go a long way toward preserving your reputation under this influence.
Then, prepare to reframe your ideas about what you can get done as assertive Mars makes his way into determined Capricorn late on Sunday or very early Monday, depending on your time zone. Our ambitions tend to become more tangible when the warrior planet travels through the cardinal earth sign, which can infuse us with renewed energy to chase our goals. Start writing down what you want to accomplish in the new year and watch your efforts gain steam.
Here is your horoscope for the week of Monday, December 8, 2025.
Aries
Don’t be afraid to look back, Aries. As Neptune begins moving forward through Pisces mid-week, hitting pause to engage in a little introspection and reflection could prove especially healing. You may even feel called to share the positive lessons that you’ve learned with others — thinking out loud with people you trust is sure to help you to fully process any insights you’ve uncovered.

Be on the lookout, Taurus. Starting now, and throughout the next few weeks, you might find that your intuition is heightened — and you can wield it to make some smart money moves. If you’ve been considering entering into a new business relationship or asking for a helping hand regarding a big investment or purchase, this could also be an excellent time to trust your instincts and take the plunge. Meanwhile, as Neptune stations direct, you may notice your adventurous spirit beginning to scream out for attention. Quell this thirst by planning a trip or seeking out educational and cultural activities that intrigue you.

The creative inspiration that you’ve been searching for is on the horizon, Gemini. This could come as especially good news if you’ve been dealing with some sobering issues lately. Watch as your spirit grows lighter and enjoy picking up fresh insights everywhere you go during this period. Perhaps you’ll even find that this process leads you to have a major breakthrough about how you want to proceed in your professional sphere. Then, as Mercury changes signs, you’ll be wise to pay close attention to what others are saying — and use what you learn to make changes that’ll improve the lives of the ones you love.
Cancer
Are you ready to dive in, Cancer? It may feel as if an exciting world of fantasy and imagination is beckoning to you this week, but be mindful not to lose your bearings. Taking everything you discover with a grain of salt will help you to stay balanced and avoid getting duped. Still, it’s important that you don’t close yourself off from taking risks entirely — a golden opportunity could slip between your fingers if you aren’t able to summon your bravery, so be ready to ask for what you want. Then, this weekend, your personality is sure to sparkle, making it an excellent time to connect with loved ones and even ask them for a favour.
Leo
Take a breath, Leo. If the tension between your work and home life is getting to be too much, hitting pause so that you can practise a little mindfulness could help you get back on track, particularly mid-week. Use this quiet time to figure out your priorities so you can continue to present yourself in the best possible light wherever you are. Once you’ve sorted through these big feelings, you’ll likely be in the right headspace to reconnect with your playful side. Enjoy blowing off steam with your friends and family this weekend and convincing them to indulge in some festive shenanigans with you.
Virgo
Prepare for your capacity for love to expand, Virgo. Starting this week, you could notice your generous heart urging you to open yourself up to fresh possibilities and welcome new energy into your life this winter. Single Virgos may find themselves swept up in romance during this time. Meanwhile, those in relationships may feel driven to devote more of their energy to their partners and rediscover what first brought them into their worlds. You could also notice that your need for domestic pleasures intensifies in this moment. Embrace this opportunity to retreat to your safe space and surround yourself with loved ones.
Libra
Get ready to feel invigorated, Libra. Starting this week, you’ll be blessed with a renewed sense of purpose that could make your energy levels soar. Harness this burst of motivation to map out exactly what you want to accomplish this winter, whether that involves getting a head start on your New Year’s resolutions or simply gaining the confidence you need to make these transformative lifestyle changes. Setting concrete benchmarks that you want to hit will help you stay grounded as you push forward. Then, as Mercury changes signs, your popularity could skyrocket. Keep track of your commitments so that you can avoid over-booking yourself.
Scorpio
Lower your stinger, Scorpio. At the beginning of this week, you may feel tempted to lash out, especially if someone shoots down one of your creative ideas. But do your best to take a breath and keep your cool as you encounter resistance. This is a brilliant time to get in touch with your inner artist and seek out activities whose only purpose is to bring you joy. Then, on the weekend, your mind could start to clear, allowing you to share your thoughts with more poise and conviction. Think about what you want to communicate the next time you capture the attention of a large audience — practice makes perfect.
Sagittarius
You don’t always have to leave home to get a taste of adventure, Sagittarius. In fact, starting this week, you may find that your busy mind is eager to explore what’s hidden in all the nooks and crannies in your space. Enjoy viewing your surroundings in this new light — and brainstorming features that’ll really showcase your personality. Alternatively, you may feel motivated to look back at your childhood through a fresh lens. Consider revisiting the past with your nearest and dearest, and surprising them with photos or home movies that make their faces light up.
Capricorn
You’re known for being a fast learner, Capricorn. But your ability to absorb information could accelerate even more this winter, giving you the razor-sharp reflexes that are sure to impress just about anyone you engage with. While this new superpower may be intoxicating, watch out for people who may be feeding you false data. Fact-check anything that seems too good to be true before repeating it. Meanwhile, if you’re feeling a bit creatively drained mid-week, friends could be an excellent source of inspiration. Enjoy shooting the breeze with people you trust without worrying about having to monetize your thinking.
Aquarius
Silence your notifications, Aquarius. At the beginning of the week, you’ll likely benefit from taking a little social media break, especially if tension between your social circle and personal values comes to light. Take some alone time to gather your thoughts so you can avoid any misunderstandings that might dampen your mood. Allowing yourself to process what’s happening before you respond will be crucial. Then, once you’ve caught your breath, you’ll be ready to re-emerge and welcome more abundance into your world. The opportunities that you seek are within your grasp.
Pisces
Enjoy the ride, Pisces. Your quest for self-understanding is concluding its most crucial chapter this winter, as Neptune makes his final trip through your sign in this lifetime. Don’t be afraid to lean heavily on your intuition for direction as you navigate this process. The lessons that you’ve learned over the past 14 years of this transit have surely coloured your life with clarity and compassion — now it’s time to apply them. Come mid-week, your family and loved ones may seem particularly eager to engage in thought-provoking conversations. Harness this moment to exchange ideas, shed your insecurities and embrace a forward-thinking mindset.
