Astrology highlights for the week of December 28, 2025:
00:51 – This week's big three: First, Mercury enters Capricorn on Thursday (January 1 – 20); as it leaves Sagittarius there is a lot going on!
08:09 – The 2026 Moon Mastery™ Lunar Planning Guide is your interactive companion for the year ahead. For only $22, this fully fillable digital planner is tailored to the actual Moon phases and eclipses of 2026 — helping you live each month with clarity, awareness, and intention.

13:48 – We have a Full Moon at 13 Cancer on Saturday.
24:18 – Check out Celeste’s astrology readings and cosmic coaching packages, which are personalized to meet your unique needs. And remember: You don’t need to know any astrology!
Word of the Day:
25:08 – On Sunday, REACTIVE is the word of the day. With the Aries Moon squaring Jupiter in Cancer and meeting Chiron, emotions rise quickly and instincts lead the way. Notice where impatience or irritation is asking for awareness rather than action. Collectively, tempers flare easily and reactions may feel outsized, especially around safety, fire, and sharp objects. Slowing down helps prevent small moments from becoming big incidents.
26:05 – Monday’s word is CRITIQUE. The Taurus Moon steadies the nervous system, but its square to Pluto brings buried thoughts to the surface. Mercury in Sagittarius squaring Saturn can make words feel heavy or regretful. Collectively, criticism may come easily while compassion takes effort. Choose discernment over judgment and separate what’s useful from what’s just noise.
28:26 – Tuesday's is GARGOYLE. The Taurus Moon activates Algol, highlighting the part of you that guards against overwhelm. This is about holding strong emotional material without letting it run your life. Collectively, shadow material around anger, violence, and protection becomes visible. Society grapples with what it tries to keep outside rather than face within.
30:13 – Wednesday's is FIREWORKS. The Gemini Moon amplifies stimulation, movement, and conversation while activating volatile energy. Overstimulation is likely if you do not pace yourself. Collectively, excitement mixes with chaos as crowds, alcohol, and impulsivity collide. Awareness and caution keep celebration from tipping into danger.
32:08 – Thursday's word is PROJECTION. Mercury at 29 Sagittarius squares Neptune at 29 Pisces, blurring perception and amplifying imagination. This is powerful for creativity but tricky for clarity. Collectively, confusion, denial, and idealization peak as people project inner states onto others. Compassion works better than confrontation today.
33:26 – Friday's is TEACH. As Chiron stations direct in Aries, old wounds around identity and self-assertion come into focus. Physical signals like headaches or eye strain may carry messages. Collectively, moments of pain reveal opportunities for wisdom and leadership. What has hurt before can now guide and instruct.
34:55 – On Saturday, the word is NOSTALGIA. The Cancer Full Moon illuminates memory, family stories, and emotional roots. Feelings crest and ask to be acknowledged rather than managed. Collectively, themes of home, security, leadership, and belonging dominate the emotional field. Comfort, storytelling, and reflection restore balance.

Word of the Day:
24:05 – On Sunday, HANGOVER is the word of the day. As the Sagittarius Sun completes its square to Neptune at 29 Pisces, the effects of excess or blurred boundaries may come into focus.

27:52 – Wednesday's is COMMIT. Venus enters Capricorn, shifting attention from pleasure to permanence and from attraction to responsibility. You may feel ready to define what you are truly willing to invest in. Collectively, commitment replaces fantasy as endurance and reliability take precedence over excitement.

29:21 – Thursday's word is MERRY. The Moon and amplifying North Node connect in Pisces; compassion and emotional sensitivity deepen.

30:44 – On Saturday, the word is GLADIATOR. The First Quarter Moon in Aries demands action, courage, and forward motion.

Bonus episode for November 26, 2025:
In this illuminating Cosmic Conversation, Celeste sits down with sound healer Melissa Felsenstein of Inner Sounds Meditation to explore how to stay grounded, open-hearted, and intentional during one of the year’s most emotionally charged passages.
Together, they navigate the emotional tides stirred up by Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, a powerful Grand Water Trine, and Saturn’s turn direct – all arriving just as the Sun shifts into uplifting Sagittarius season.
Celeste brings the astrological wisdom; Melissa brings the nervous-system support. They discuss how these transits reveal truth, heighten sensitivity, expose family dynamics, and magnify joy or overwhelm – depending on how consciously we work with the energy. You’ll hear practical strategies for emotional protection, connection, and self-regulation during holiday gatherings.
The episode culminates in a deep 30-minute therapeutic sound bath with crystal bowls and planetary gongs tuned to Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Mercury, and Neptune – designed to cleanse the throat chakra, settle the nervous system, and strengthen your holiday intentions.
Join Celeste and Melissa for a beautiful resource for anyone craving grounding, clarity, or emotional renewal.

31:13 – Tuesday's is COLLECTIVE. Personal: With the Aquarius Moon and Venus inconjunct Chiron, you may feel tension in group dynamics or fixed opinions around you. Take a breath before reacting and remember the bigger picture. Collective: Families, groups, or teams may feel divided as differing viewpoints surface. The goal is cooperation, not competition.
32:19 – Wednesday's is FATE. Personal: Venus trine Jupiter and Saturn forms a Grand Trine in water, and you may feel emotional truths rising to the surface. With Moon square Mercury, the Three Fates energy asks you to spin, measure, and cut what no longer fits. Collective: People may reveal how they really feel, sometimes abruptly. Fate moments unfold through conversations and choices.
34:20 – Thursday's word is BLESSINGS. Personal: The Aquarius Moon squares Venus and Uranus before shifting into Pisces, bringing emotional spikes followed by sensitivity. Saturn stationing direct and the First Quarter Moon highlight blessings amid complexity. Collective: Big feelings, surprises, and revelations color the day as families gather. Gratitude may be tender or layered.
35:50 – Friday's is EMBRACE. Personal: The Moon meets the North Node and then squares Mars, stirring intuition and emotional intensity. This is a moment to embrace what’s arising rather than fight it. Collective: People may swing between tenderness and agitation as emotions rise and fall quickly.
36:21 – On Saturday, the word is UNRAVEL. Personal: The Moon meets Saturn, Mercury stations direct, and Venus opposes Uranus, creating an unraveling that reveals hidden truth. Let what loosens show you what needs release. Collective: Expect reversals, tech issues, financial surprises, and emotional overwhelm as threads come apart.

Word of the Day:
17:43 – On Sunday, SCOUT is the word of the day. Personal guidance: Scout your inner landscape. Notice where you have been afraid to turn on the flashlight in your own basement. Let curiosity guide you rather than fear. What do you need to see more clearly about your desires, debts, and power dynamics? Collective guidance: Hidden stories are being scouted out. Think of the Buffalo Bill image from Silence of the Lambs – the light flipping on in the dark. Media, investigators, and everyday people may shine lamps into systems that prefer the shadows. Pay attention to what is being exposed around law, ethics, and the abuse of power in governments and institutions.
19:04 – Monday’s word is SEPARATION. Personal guidance: Separation does not always mean failure. You may feel tension in partnerships or disappointment that something is not turning out as you hoped. This is a day to clarify boundaries and expectations. Distance or a pause may be medicine rather than rejection. Collective guidance: We may see literal and symbolic separations – high-profile breakups, companies splitting, political factions pulling farther apart. The Grand Trine in Water with the Sun in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer, and Saturn in Pisces can bring emotional overwhelm. Reach out if you or someone you love seems lost in the tide. This is a day when phone calls, therapy, and crisis support can save lives.
21:55 – Tuesday's is BOMBSHELL. Personal guidance: Bombshell energy is in the air. Mars in Sagittarius in tense aspect to Jupiter in Cancer amplifies reactions, while Venus in Scorpio in friction with Neptune in Pisces can expose secrets about money, sex, or loyalty. Surprising truths may drop into your lap. Commit to handling information with integrity rather than using it as a weapon. Collective guidance: Expect headlines about covert groups, shady finances, or exploitation coming to light. The Scorpio Moon squaring Saturn and Neptune in Pisces describes stories of bondage, deception, and systems that failed to protect vulnerable people. As Mercury reenters Scorpio at the 29th degree of crisis, voices of survivors and whistleblowers may rise. Listen closely, especially to the people whose stories were previously dismissed.
23:51 – Wednesday's is DISTRESS. Personal guidance: Distress does not mean you are powerless. Venus in Scorpio at a World Point trines the North Node in Pisces, while Mercury in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus and we have the New Moon at 28 Scorpio. Old trauma, betrayal, or fear around sex, money, or control may surface. Allow feelings to move through your body. This is a potent day to start therapy, do shadow work, or set intentions to heal from abuse and manipulation. Collective guidance: This is a high-alert day. Mercury opposite Uranus at 29 degrees can bring sudden news about sex trafficking, bribery, or hidden financial networks. The Sabian symbol of an Indigenous woman pleading for the lives of her children echoes themes of parents begging corrupt powers to protect the vulnerable. We may see distress signals from communities harmed by leaders, courts, or corporations that chose profits over people. Bear witness. Support survivors. Advocate when you can.
26:02 – Thursday's word is LIFEGUARD. Personal guidance: Lifeguard energy invites you to protect what is precious. Mercury cazimi at 28 Scorpio signals the death and rebirth of a story around your mind, money, or intimacy. This is powerful cord-cutting energy. You can ask spirit, your ancestors, or trusted allies for help as you let go of obsessions, toxic attachments, or revenge fantasies. Guard your own life force, especially around water, substances, and emotional extremes. Collective guidance: Mercury in the heart of the Sun in Scorpio while Uranus in Taurus sextiles Neptune in Pisces can describe both shocking disclosures about big money and water-related or earth-related crises. Deals, votes, and behind-the-scenes agreements around the release or suppression of explosive information may come to a head. We could see people in power trying to save themselves while the public demands accountability. This is a day to watch who acts like a lifeguard for the vulnerable and who is trying to keep them underwater.
28:40 – Friday's is TSUNAMI. Personal guidance: Tsunami emotions can crash in suddenly. Emotionally, something may break open. Give yourself outlets for intensity – movement, art, prayer, journaling. This wave wants motion, not repression. Collective guidance: This looks like an emotional and political tidal wave. Big news may erupt about the Epstein files, immigration raids, the military, athletes, or scandals involving sex, money, and power. The US chart is especially activated, so national identity, rage, and grief may surge. Markets or governments could wobble. People may act recklessly in the streets and online. Stay aware of your surroundings and keep your nervous system as calm as you can.
30:28 – On Saturday, the word is GIBBERISH. Personal guidance: Not everything you hear is truth. Thoughts and conversations may feel foggy, circular, or emotionally charged. Slow down and double-check facts. Do not assume you understand the whole story today. Collective guidance: This energy can show up as confusing statements from leaders, spin from institutions, or experts trying to make sense of sudden economic or governmental shifts. There may be news about health crises, speech or brain-related issues, or infrastructure breakdowns that affect communication. Miscommunication can be serious today, so if someone’s words or behavior suddenly do not make sense, take it as a cue to seek clarity or support.
