And your support means so, so much. Now let's get into the astrology of the day. This is your daily horoscope for Monday, December 29th, 2025. The action starts out at 4am when the moon enters Taurus. By 8am, the moon and Taurus is forming a square with Pluto and Aquarius. Kicking up some of our insecurities, our relationship with fear, and power, and control, and surrender, there might be some news that you learn that kicks up some of your survival instincts or coping mechanisms or old patterns that you thought you'd healed and worked through. This is an opportunity to embrace your shadow side, to spend time and be curious with some of your fears, and to learn to surrender to the unknown that we can't absolutely control everything. Now, sometimes this can actually be really productive and helpful energy. It's a moment where you're setting a boundary or taking your power back, or you're in awe of how much you've transformed in your own growth as well. Now around 3pm, the moon and Taurus will form a trying with Venus and Capricorn. This is very earthy, grounding energy. This is great for embodiment for focusing on the present moment, for feeling grateful for the important people in your life, for the little things that we tend to take for granted from time to time. This is a very sensual time. It's a great time for sex. It's a great time for focusing on your creativity, or bringing some of your creative desires into the tangible world. In general, interactions with other people are going well, and there's just a little extra hint of luck in the air. Now around 5pm, Mars and Capricorn forms a sex tile with the north-known empices, and this is taking place at 11 degrees. So if you have any planets or placements around 11 degrees, of the earth signs or the water signs, you'll feel the benefits of this, the most intensely. Mars is this planet of action and motivation and drive, and the north node represents some faded developments, what we are calling in, what we are working towards. And this could look like making a decision or taking action that feels faded in some way, or kind of leads you down a path that feels in line with your destiny. Now around 6pm, the Moon and Taurus forms a trine with the sun in Capricorn, and this is a wonderful synergy between our inner self, the moon, and our outer self, the sun. We might feel more productive. This could be a day where you are getting a ton done, and you just feel like you are crossing things off your to-do list left and right. This energy is also just great for feeling like you are grounded and making progress in your life as well. Around 11pm, the Moon and Taurus forms a trine with Mars in Capricorn, giving you a burst of energy or motivation or even confidence to go after who and what you desire. This is also passionate and sexy energy, or if you are dreaming, maybe you are fast asleep and having some sort of action-oriented dream. Now I know I'm mainly painted a very adorable picture for the day, but in the backdrop of the day, and this doesn't perfect until 11pm, but we're going to be feeling it throughout the majority of the day. Mercury and Sagittarius forms a square with Saturn and Pisces. This is taking place at 26 degrees, so if you have any planets or placements around 26 degrees of the mutable signs, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces, you're the main characters. This is going to bring us back to December 8th when Mars crashed into Saturn, December 16th when the Sun crashed into Saturn. And it will also kind of reactivate that December 19th, New Moon and Sagittarius that also had that configuration baked into it. So similar themes and topics from those days may re-emerge. Now Mercury's the planet of the mind, communication. Mercury is also the traveler. Saturn is a planet of borders, restrictions, limitations. I think collectively it is not lost on me that within the past few weeks, we have watched this administration enact incredibly racist restrictions and travel bands on people from other countries. We continue to watch ice kidnap our neighbors, our friends, our fellow humans. And Saturn is a planet of commitment. And so under this energy, I invite all of us to reflect on ways in which we can stay committed to fight for collective liberation, to stand up for what is right, and to push back against these harmful systems and structures that are oppressive and violent. Now personally, when Mercury crashes into Saturn, this could be a day where you hear disappointing news. Maybe you're just feeling a little lower or Saturn than normal. On the other hand, it could be a great time of focus, intense focus, and progress towards a long-term goal. So it isn't all bad, personally, necessarily. You can really harness this energy to set an important boundary, to recommit to a project, and make progress on some sort of long-term goal that you are working towards. Aries, it can feel like some of your exciting plans have run into some sort of a roadblock today when Mercury crashes into Saturn. Things may not be going according to plan, and you may have to revisit the drawing board in some way, but just know that this pause is temporary. This is also an important day to catch yourself if you feel like you're getting caught in a negative self-talk loop. And if this is the case, find a way to redirect your energy or regulate your nervous system in the moment if possible. Taurus, this is not the cutest day for generosity when Mercury clashes into Saturn. If you have been hoping for someone else's financial or emotional support, especially regarding some of your goals or hopes or dreams, it's possible that some sort of funding is blocked or there is some type of backtrack. This can also be an important day to set boundaries with groups you're part of, whether it's organizations you volunteer for or communities where you feel like you belong, and even within friend groups. And it's also possible to feel just a little bit lonelier today, and if you do need support and reach out to your community, it can feel like everyone's a little bit too busy for you when you need it most. Gemini, this is an important day for you to set boundaries around your work life once Mercury clashes into Saturn. You may be feeling the responsibility that you have at work, maybe you've taken on a new role. And this stress may be interfering with some of your important relationships, like your partnerships, friendships, family dynamics. If this is the case, this is an important day to set boundaries and expectations and have some of those harder conversations in your close connections. Cancer, this is not the cutest day for your daily routine, schedule, or communication when Mercury clashes into Saturn. Petty arguments and disagreements can pop up, especially in the workplace. And if you have a ton of plans today, they may be derailed in some way. It can feel like a sudden rush of responsibilities is taken over, and it's taking up most of your focus and attention. Leo, this is an important day for you to consider the way that you are investing your time, energy, and financial resources into your hobbies and creative passions when Mercury clashes with Saturn. This can bring a reality check when it comes to your investments and finances, and maybe you have to rethink your budget or get a little bit more creative when it comes to seeking support for some of your creative outlets and ideas. Romantically speaking, this is also not the cutest day to wear your heart on your sleeve. Feelings of rejection can come up plain and simple. Virgo, this is an important day for you to set boundaries around your private life and with family members, once Mercury clashes into Saturn. Words within your personal relationships today can feel a little bit more sensitive, and you can also feel like the past is rearing its head in some way. If there have been any issues or feelings that you've repressed and kept to yourself, this is an important day to voice them, set boundaries, and advocate for your needs and feelings. Libra, this is not the cutest day for communication, once Mercury clashes with Saturn. Petty arguments and disagreements and misunderstandings can take place. You might hear a no when you really wished you'd hear a yes. So if you have something important to share, whether that's at work or with someone in your personal life, wait until this energy passes, it will be much better after the weekend. This can also be a totally hectic day for your schedule. Maybe you have some fun plans after work, but your responsibilities and burdens require your full attention. Scorpio, this can be kind of like a walt wand day for you, your fun, and your finances when Mercury clashes with Saturn. You're going to have to get real about your budget, your lifestyle, and what is really sustainable when it comes to spending your money on hobbies and activities that bring you joy? What is worth the financial investment? And where can you cut corners in your budget and save some money here or there? Like maybe cancel that Hulu subscription. Sagittarius, you might be feeling a little bit more sensitive today when Mercury clashes with Saturn. And if you feel like you want to spend time alone, listen to your gut instinct and don't force yourself to be surrounded by others. You could learn some information regarding your home, family, or personal relationships today that feels a little heavy or even disappointing in some way. On the other hand, you may have to set boundaries regarding these topics and people in your life. You may also be expressing or reflecting on the past and you're not so fondest memories. This can feel triggering and sensitive, but ultimately it can be quite cathartic. Capricorn, try not to wear yourself thin today when Mercury clashes into Saturn. It's really easy to overdo it, overpromise, overcommit, and wind up feeling exhausted and burnt out in the process. This is also an important day to be self-aware and mindful if you find yourself engaging in any self-defeating habits, thinking patterns or beliefs, try to reorient yourself and catch some of these patterns in the moment if they do pop up. Someone also might be sharing some sort of secrets with you that may be serious in some way. Aquarius, this is an important time for you to reflect on who and what are worthy of your energetic and financial resources when Mercury clashes into Saturn. If a friend or community that you're a part of or group or organization that you contribute to is asking for financial funds, you may have to issue a rejection. Today, a clash of values could also come up between friend groups, communities that you're a part of, and your own personal values. Setting boundaries and protecting your own energetic resources is also really important and you may be reflecting more on which relationships feel reciprocal and uplifting. Pisces, today work can feel a little heavier once Mercury clashes with Saturn in your sign. You may learn news about your job, profession, or public life that can leave you feeling a little disappointed. Don't panic, that doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to lose a job or something, but it could be like you're disappointed in your boss or the organization that you work for. This is also a really important day for you to set boundaries within your professional environment and to not be afraid of advocating for your own self-care and well-being.
