All that plus your daily forecast is below, so let's get to it!
| | DAILY ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST December 15 - 21, 2025
Dates/Times are given in EST Monday, December 15 🔬
The shrewd and resourceful essence of the transiting Scorpio Moon makes this an excellent day to strategize, negotiate, conduct research, engage in problem solving. This lunar influence also supports taking a deep dive into complex, mysterious or topics, such as medicine, psychology, criminology or the origins of the universe
No matter what you plan to do today, it should be easier than usual to focus on the matter at hand because this influence is known for heightened concentration.
🛎 At 2:34 AM, transiting Mars enters Capricorn (more below).
Tuesday, December 16 ⚔️
The purpose of today's transiting Sun-Saturn square isto show you what you still need to master in order to achieve your goals.
If you're not happy with your personal circumstances or professional status, the ego-challenging nature of this influence could make for a difficult day as it forces you to confront your own limitations and shortcomings.
If so, rather than succumb to its discouraging influence, resolve to change your situation and devote some time to brainstorm your next steps.
Wednesday, December 17 👣
After a brief void (10:25 AM - 11:39 AM), the transiting Moon enters Sagittarius. If you have felt limited or unsatisfied in any area of your life, this optimistic and risk-friendly influence may inspire you to seek out a greener pasture.
Even if you are satisfied, the influence can still promote a certain degree of itchy feet, and if so, you may spend some time to searching for something new that will capture your interest.
Overall, this is a good day for social activities, especially those that include interesting and lively conversations.
Thursday, December 18 📣
If in the past you have been hesitant to share an idea or an opinion with someone, today's positive vibes suggest that you will have the confidence to do so, and it will be well received.
On a separate note, whether it's a holiday party or a casual get-together, social gatherings are favored this evening, and if you haven't finalized your holiday plans, an appealing invitation may come your way.
Friday, December 19 🌑
The Sagittarius New Moon occurs at 8:44 PM (see my forecast below), and after a brief void (10:41 PM - 11:39 PM), the transiting Moon enters Capricorn.
Saturday, December 20 ☁️
Despite your best intentions (and the influence of the ambitious transiting Capricorn Moon), you may not accomplish everything you set out to do, because the energy-draining influence of the transiting Sun-Neptune square could dampen your perseverance.
While it is possible that your energy may feel a little lower, it's more likely that the day will fall short of your expectations because you become distracted and/or discouraged.
All that said, if you remain mindful of this potential influence, you can overcome it with your free will.
Sunday, December 21 ⤫
Today's transiting Saturn-Venus square suggests that you may find yourself at a relationship and/or or financial crossroad.
Although this influence is usually associated with romantic unions, it speaks to ALL types of relationships. Its purpose is to help you to determine whether or not your needs are being met so you can either go forward with confidence, work together to remedy any shortcomings or go your separate ways.
If the focus of this transit in your life is on money, you may be short on cash or need to spend money on some type of repair. Experiencing disappointment in connection with an anticipated raise or bonus is also a possibility, as is feeling inadequate about your financial resources and/or earning ability.
Relationships and money aside, you may experience a conflict between your pleasure (what you want to do) and your responsibilities (what you are obligated to do).
However, if your relationships, finances and boundaries are in order, you're unlikely to experience any difficulties now and can use this influence to further clarify and define these areas of your life.
🛎 The Sun enters Capricorn at 10:04 AM EST (Solstice).
