A Celestial Farewell to 2025: The Moon Meets the Seven Sisters ✨🌙

As the final hours of 2025 slip away, the sky offers a goodbye older—and far more timeless—than fireworks. On New Year’s Eve, nature stages a quiet cosmic farewell.

High in the winter sky, the glowing Moon drifts strikingly close to the Pleiades, the legendary Seven Sisters. Woven through myth for thousands of years, these stars were said to be lifted into the heavens to shine together forever. Seeing them beside the Moon on the very last night of the year feels like a gentle omen—of continuity, reflection, and wonder carrying forward.

📅 When: Night of December 31, 2025
👀 Where: Follow the bright Moon; just beside it, look for a tiny dipper of blue-white stars
🔭 Tip: Binoculars help the sisters sparkle through the Moon’s glow

A rare alignment. A quiet goodbye.
One last look up before the year turns. 🌌

On December 25, skywatchers will be treated to a rare and delightful celestial event known as a Triple Conjunction.

Just after sunset, the Moon, Venus, and Jupiter will align in a way that resembles a smiling face in the night sky. The slender crescent Moon forms the gentle “smile,” while the two bright planets shine above it like glowing “eyes.”

Beyond its playful appearance, this event is scientifically fascinating, showcasing the precise and beautiful alignment of major bodies within our solar system.

For the best view, find a spot with clear skies, an open western horizon, and minimal light pollution, and take a moment to look up — the universe will be smiling back at you. 🌌😊

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐘𝐮𝐥𝐞 🕯️

Yule marks the 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞, the longest night of the year and the moment the light begins to return.

Energetically, this isn’t about doing more.
It’s about 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝.

Yule is the womb of the year.
The pause before rebirth.
The moment where hope quietly stirs beneath the surface.

What Yule represents

✨ Death of the old cycle
✨ Rebirth of the light
✨ Deep rest, reflection, and renewal
✨ Faith before evidence

This is a threshold moment, not a time for hustle, but for 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐘𝐮𝐥𝐞 (𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲 + 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲)

You don’t need a full ceremony or hours of ritual. Small, intentional acts are enough.

🌲 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬 (especially white, gold, red, or green)
🌲 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 pine, holly, rosemary, eucalyptus
🌲 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 gently (smoke, sound, or just intentional tidying)
🌲 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 what did it teach you? what can you release?

𝐔𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐮𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬……

This is where Yule becomes magic for women in business.

Instead of asking how things will happen, Yule asks you to decide 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧.

Try this:

🕯️ Sit in candlelight
🕯️ Write down what you are birthing in the coming year
🕯️ Focus on how you want it to feel, not just what it looks like
🕯️ Ask yourself: What am I willing to nurture quietly before the world sees it?

Yule manifestations don’t shout — they 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐭.

𝐀 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧

If things feel slow, unclear, or quiet right now, you’re not behind.

You’re in the dark by design.

The light is returning.
Your desires are already on their way.
Your only job is to 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞.

Blessed Yule ✨
May what you’re calling in grow strong in the unseen.

Thank heavens! Mercury Retrograde ends today! ✨️ This marks the end of the last of three retrogrades in 2025. When Mercury’s Retrograde ends, some astrologers believe there is a short “shadow period” of adjustment of a couple of weeks as Mercury moves forward again. During this adjustment period:

✨️ Don’t rush big decisions.
✨️ Allow any remaining misunderstandings to resolve.
✨️ Prepare to move forward with clearer intention.
✨️ This is a good time to polish that presentation, finalize travel plans, or revisit contracts with a fresh eye.

Once this shadow clears, it’s generally considered a better time to move forward with major decisions, contracts, and new projects. Read more at Almanac.com/Mercury-Retrograde

It’s in special moments like these, when our magic is amplified!

🌕✨ December 3 — When the Moon Meets the Seven Sisters ✨🌌

On December 3, 2025, the night sky will stage one of its most breathtaking shows:
the nearly full 99% illuminated Moon rising beside the Pleiades — the legendary Seven Sisters.
A golden Moon above snow-lined mountains, an observatory dome gazing upward, and the icy-blue cluster shimmering nearby… a celestial moment that looks like it was painted, not real.

🌙 A Rare Lunar Occultation

For millions across North America, Europe, and northern Africa, this event is more than a close encounter —
it’s a lunar occultation.

The Moon will pass directly in front of the Pleiades, temporarily hiding several of its brightest stars:

• Electra
• Merope
• Maia
• Alcyone

In cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Moon will glide through the center of the cluster itself — making stars blink out and reappear along its shadowed edge.
A pair of binoculars will help you watch these disappearances despite the Moon’s glare.

🌌 The Seven Sisters

Located 444 light-years away in Ta**us, the Pleiades are a young family of hot blue stars celebrated across countless cultures for thousands of years.
Although called the “Seven Sisters,” the cluster contains over a thousand stars — only six or seven visible to the unaided eye.

✨ Don’t Miss This Cosmic Meeting

Whether you’re inside or outside the occultation zone, step outside after dark and look toward the eastern sky.
The Moon rising beside the Pleiades is one of the most beautiful astronomical alignments of the entire year —
a meeting of lunar gold and ancient blue starlight.

A quiet December night…
A dance of light across the sky…
A moment you’ll remember long after it fades. 🌙💫
