As 2025 draws to a close, unusually quiet skies offer a moment of stillness between one chapter and the next. With no major planetary shifts taking place, it's a chance to rest, reflect, and gather strength for the fresh beginnings ahead. We can use these calm cosmic waters to release what we no longer need, celebrate how far we've come, and set gentle intentions rather than rigid resolutions. At the dawn of the New Year, when Mercury moves into Capricorn, we'll be able to put ideas into practice.
ARIES
Your Weekly Horoscope: It seems that someone is trying to put you off track. You've got a plan, but they keep offering alternatives - and it's disconcerting. In conscientiously considering their opinions, you're not making any progress. So, how are you going to deal with the interruptions? By believing in yourself. You can respectfully and politely thank them for their insights, and explain that you've made up your mind and are confident about your intentions. In voicing your truth, you'll reinforce your self-belief. And that's the perfect way to start 2026.
TAURUS
Your Weekly Horoscope: Although Christmas creates a pause in our normal activities, our responsibilities don't magically disappear. And, in the approach to the New Year, you've got duties that need to be fulfilled. Yet they don't need to weigh you down. By resolving to sort one particular issue out, you'll be decluttering and making space. Which is worth doing - because the start of 2026 brings opportunities (with surprisingly few responsibilities attached). Ticking this off your list will give you a sense of accomplishment that you can work with going forward.
GEMINI
Your Weekly Horoscope: In the approach to the New Year, you've got a decision to make. It concerns your attitude towards a less-than-ideal situation. You can choose to do everything in your power to turn it around so that it's better-than-it-was. Or, you can shrug your shoulders, and let it be. You'd be well-advised to choose the latter option! 2026 begins with your ruler, Mercury, linking to imaginative Neptune, before moving into determined Capricorn. If you don't give yourself time to dream, you won't be able to take action to make the dream come true.
CANCER
Your Weekly Horoscope: Since opportunities tend to reside beyond the realm of absolute certainty, to generate them, we have to be prepared to step out of our comfort zones and take a calculated risk. So, are you ready to be bold? The approach to the New Year offers a chance to reflect on your achievements. By assessing your progress, you can make plans for the future. The start of the week brings you a chance to re-envisage your life. If you paint as positive a picture as you dare, you'll find the courage to move beyond a limitation, and start manifesting it.
LEO
Your Weekly Horoscope: Just because there's only one Sun, should you worry about what would happen if it didn't rise one morning? Although having back-up plans gives us a sense of security, there are some things we have to leave to chance. Your ability to shine light into the world is a power you can use with great effect this week. Your ability to find pockets of joy is a strength others rely on. And although the festive period hasn't been challenge-free, your optimism remains intact. Good. If you enter 2026 with a smile, your positive energy has far-reaching potential.
VIRGO
Your Weekly Horoscope: When your adrenaline kicks in, you can direct your attention with laser-like accuracy, and calmly and confidently address any problems. At this strange time of year, when normal activities are suspended, you're not quite sure what to focus on. But rather than worrying about any lack of clarity, take this as a moment of repose. 2026 begins with your ruler, Mercury, linking to Neptune and moving into Capricorn. Your wandering mind is allowing you to get creative. Trust in the process. You'll love what unfolds.
LIBRA
Your Weekly Horoscope: In this strange time between Christmas and New Year, it's easy to feel a bit directionless. Our usual routines have fallen by the wayside, and there's an air of expectation about the future, which piles on pressure. On top of that, there are resolutions to make, and that involves making decisions. But you've got no need to worry. Once 2026 begins, and Mercury, planet of the intellect, moves into Capricorn, you'll feel much clearer about your path forward. And able to make choices that move you in a positive direction.
SCORPIO
Your Weekly Horoscope: Take the pressure off. Stop worrying... and start enjoying yourself. It's easy advice to give. But not so easy to put into practice. Yet really, it's what you need to do this week. Start by considering all you've achieved, and give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back. Then, remember that the story of your life is still unfolding, and that the person writing the narrative is you. In the approach to the New Year, if you imagine yourself thriving, you'll set forth into 2026 with the perfect attitude. It holds abundant opportunities, just for you.
SAGITTARIUS
Your Weekly Horoscope: We all dream of having a safe, stable lifestyle... until we find ourselves living one. Then we crave excitement and adventure. We all want to solve our problems. But as soon as we've sorted one thing out, we seek another one. You've managed to avert several difficult situations during the festive season. Now, you're twiddling your thumbs, not quite sure what to expect or to wish for. Without creating unnecessary instability, this week brings an opportunity that will shake up your world in a way that makes 2026 look promising.
CAPRICORN
Your Weekly Horoscope: Can you trust that quiet sense of growing optimism? Although with everything you've been dealing with recently your hesitancy is understandable, to answer that question, you can! It's your birthday season, Venus is in your sign, and the New Year brings Mercury, planet of ideas and communication, into Capricorn. So, allow yourself to feel encouraged. There really are reasons to be hopeful about what lies ahead. And with so much planetary support, you've got the energy and resolve to forge forwards, into a bright 2026.
AQUARIUS
Your Weekly Horoscope: If people fully recognised your talents, they'd be in awe. Your insights would be received with a reverential hush. Your innovative ideas would be implemented without hesitation. Not, of course, that you're expecting this kind of response. But it's the kind of reaction you're likely to get this week. In an area of your world your contribution has been underestimated. Now, as you receive the recognition you deserve, not only will you be inspired with more ideas, you'll be able to find the support you need to implement them. 2026 looks promising.
PISCES
Your Weekly Horoscope: Some problems are unfixable. Some mysteries are unsolvable. It's frustrating, but sometimes we have no choice but to accept things for what they are. Which doesn't mean that you need to shrug your shoulders and resign yourself to an unsatisfactory situation. But if you want to enter 2026 with a sense of purpose that leads to results, it's worth letting go of something you can't affect. Save your energy for what you can change and you'll be off to a great start, in a direction that brings the kind of satisfaction you can only dream of.
