Happy December!
Having some issues with sending out my newsletter to social media so decided to do it myself. Have a great month.
IT'S DECEMBER 2025!
a drive to achieve
Decembers’ energy ushers in a real drive to achieve. This is a great month to start something new, to be practical about it and organized, and then to work hard with great focus, and achieve your goals. It’s also a good time to connect with others.
The drive and desire to achieve will only increase in the second half of the month as a stellium is created as the Sun, Venus, and Mars enter Capricorn.
Part of the energy driving this desire for achieving something new (and necessary) as December begins, is because retrograde Saturn went stationary direct (when it appears to stop or pause in it’s orbit) on the 27th of November. It did so at 29 degrees Pisces, which is a very potent sign in Vedic astrology.
This aspect is significant for a few reasons…
Saturn is the planet of lessons, rules, boundaries, and limitations
When a planet is stationary direct it’s effects are considered to be stronger
The last degree of any sign (29 degrees) is considered a numerical energetic of great power and potency.
And when that last degree is in a water sign (Saturn is in Pisces) it historically, indicates intense patterns found in nature involving water, such as storms, rain, floods, snow, tsunamis etc.
When Saturn stations direct, it will be less than a degree apart from Neptune, the planet of dreams, illusions and spirituality - highlighting the need to balance the material and the spiritual
So, all things considered, it may be a good time to make sure you are realistically prepared for winter - and all that it entails.
On Dec 10th, Neptune also goes stationary direct at 29 degrees Pisces, conjoining with Saturn, less than one degree apart. These are both very slow moving outer planets and so the conjunction will not perfect (occur exactly) until February 20, 2026, when they will both align at 0 degrees Aries. This is a conjunction of great significance which I will go over in more detail next month.
December also marks the beginning of the final and very potent phase of Neptune's 13-year journey through Pisces and signals a great time to release the past and close out old cycles and patterns that are no longer of benefit. Neptune will remain in Aries until 2038.
As the Saturn/Neptune conjunction perfects on the 26th of February, it activates a rare and significant event. Neptune, the planet of the formless, dreams and spirituality and Saturn, the planet of the concrete, lessons and rules, conjoined until February 2027 have the possibility to make manifest, the concept of Practical Spirituality.
Mercury is no longer fully retrograde now, having gone stationary direct on November 29th, (at 20 degrees 42 minutes of Scorpio) and so there are now 3 more planets (of the 5 retrograde in November) moving out of retrograde. A sense of forward motion can now finally begin to be felt in our lives and the world around us.
We can consider the actions, words, deeds and concerns which occurred in 2025 to be the cause of the coming change - setting the stage for the actions, words, deeds and concerns of 2026 to be the conditions of that change. I think it’s important to remember here that, while we may not have control over the causes and conditions of a change we ABSOLUTELY have control over our response to them.
We may feel a greater clarity and energy this month and a sense as of waking up on a soul level. It won’t really be until late spring or summer that the energy feels more fully freed but glimmers of what is ahead can be experienced now.
This month, is also the time to acknowledge any losses you may have experienced in 2025 and to honor the place they held in your life. Prepare to let them all go during the New Moon on the 19th - with love.
Here are some important aspects for December:
December 4 - Full moon in Gemini: this is the last full moon of 2025 and a great day to talk things out for greater clarity and maybe take a trip somewhere. It’s a super moon too so it has greater potency.
December 10 - Neptune stations direct : today is a great day to start seeing issues more clearly - spend some time on pondering what is going on in your life right now.
December 11 - Mercury enters Sagittarius and trines Neptune : A great day for an adventure or to learn something new.
December 15 - Mars is in it’s exalted sign of Capricorn, today is the day to get things done
December 16th - Sun squares Saturn: beware of a tendency to view everything critically today - make sure it is to make needed adjustments and not just to demean yourself or others.
December 19 - New Moon in Sagittarius : Another great day for adventure and doing something new.
December 21 - The Winter Solstice and a Capricorn Stellium begins: As the Sun enters Capricorn today, it joins Mars, and then Venus on December 24th. This is the time to set your intentions and strive to achieve them with hard work, clear focus and determination.
December 21 - Venus squares Saturn : This aspect can make one cast a somewhat cold eye on relationships today especially in areas of shared responsibility - who is the responsible one - who does the most work in making home-life happen. On a positive note it can help re-balance the work dynamic making it more efficient and useful.
December 24 - Venus enters Capricorn : Joining the Sun and Mars, Venus in Capricorn, creates a stellium which helps to find balance in work and play and in getting things done.
December 24 Venus square Neptune: today could be a day where your dreams and romance thinking of how the day should go does not line up with the reality of how it will. Be patient and try to go with the flow.
December 30 Mercury squares Saturn : The month ends with a temptation to want to have a “little talk” about how things have gone the past few days and how they will be going moving forward. And today is not the day for that talk, so write it all down and wait for January 3rd or 4th to sit down and go over it with the significant people involved.
Well my friends, December really is a good month to start something new and to make it happen. Use this month wisely and set yourself up to best usher in the New Year of 2026 which is anticipated to be a intense and powerful year with great opportunities for global and personal, growth and transformation.

HanMi Buddhism is over 1100 years old and can trace it’s lineage back to Nagarjuna and then to Shakyamuni Buddha. Thru the years, HanMi developed a Birthday prayer service that has a proven track record of bestowing blessings to an individual if performed on the day of their birth.

* The Dharma Rite is performed by Joy, an ordained HanMi Buddhist priest, who has received abhisekas (spiritual empowerments) and practiced and developed her Mantra chanting to a certain level of attainment. When mantras are chanted by such individuals, it creates a powerful force field which bestows blessings on the individual as well as helps to clear and heal negative situations.
