Weekly Mundane Astrological Climate - Week of December 8 to 14, 2025

Introduction

You can view global aspects for any day and time using the Transits application, in simple chart mode after deselecting angular aspects in the form. Positions and aspects are calculated from Monday to Sunday at 12:00 PM UT.

The orb for major planetary aspects is set at three degrees. For the true North Node and Lilith, true positions are used. Minor aspects are excluded from interpretation due to their limited influence.

Planetary aspects shape the global context, influencing politics, economics, and social trends. Lunar aspects are not included here, as their brevity makes them too fleeting for a weekly analysis.

The same applies to the North Node, Lilith, and Chiron, whose influence through aspects remains insufficiently demonstrated.

This is not a personal horoscope but a form of mundane astrology highlighting planetary influence on a collective scale.

The week of December 8 to 14, 2025 opens under a sky shaped by the Sun's progress through Sagittarius, which strengthens a broader tone and a stronger focus on overall understanding. The Moon, moving from Leo to Libra, shifts the emotional climate from a need for assertive expression toward a search for harmony and cooperation. The atmosphere gains in breadth and clarity, supporting a more flexible view of the dynamics at play.

Mercury moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius at the end of the week and gradually redirects collective thinking. The deep and lucid analysis of the first days gives way to a more open and synthetic perspective. Venus and Mars in Sagittarius support a frank and expansive dynamic, with a more straightforward tone in both initiatives and shared values. Overall, this describes a transition toward freer expression, fueled by recent moments of insight.

In the background, the slow-moving planets maintain their structuring role. Jupiter retrograde in Cancer continues a cycle of inner consolidation, while Saturn in Pisces remains in direct motion and gradually clarifies collective frameworks. The week is marked by the Saturn–Neptune conjunction, which redefines symbolic and institutional reference points. The lasting connections between Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto continue their coherent influence and support a steady, methodical evolution.

Planetary Positions and Aspects – Short-Term

Planetary Positions – Fleeting Influences

• The Sun, from 16°39' to 22°45' Sagittarius, moves through the heart of the sign and reinforces a fiery climate focused on expansion, broad perspective, and the search for coherence. The overall tone gains in optimism, mobility, and meaning, with a marked tendency to illuminate situations with greater frankness. This progression highlights the structural choices of the period and gradually confronts impulses with reality, fostering a stronger sense of responsibility.
• Mercury, from 26°03' Scorpio to 3°16' Sagittarius, completes its passage through Scorpio before entering Sagittarius on Friday. The mind remains focused, perceptive, and analytical at first, with heightened attention to sensitive areas, non-dits, and what requires deeper clarification. Once in Sagittarius, thought opens more fully to synthesis, broader perspectives, and a more direct expression that seeks to link facts within a global vision.
• Venus, from 9°38' to 17°11' Sagittarius, moves forward in this fire sign and further expands the relational sphere toward greater spontaneity and openness. Affections favor connections that encourage shared ideas, projects, and a common horizon, with a need to feel guided by an inspiring direction. This evolution supports relationships that value space, exploration, and forward movement rather than restrictive or overly intense emotional climates.
• Mars, from 24°53' to 29°23' Sagittarius, travels through the end of the sign and maintains a very assertive, expansive energy aimed at conquering new horizons. Action unfolds with conviction, clear positions, and a desire to give meaning to efforts made. This movement stimulates bold initiatives while testing organization and clarity, helping to avoid dispersion or unnecessary overextension.
• The Moon, from 5°26' Leo to 22°08' Libra, travels through three signs and shifts the emotional climate in stages. In Leo at the start of the week, it heightens expressive energy, the need for recognition, and a desire to shine. Its passage through Virgo from Wednesday to Friday strengthens the search for order, method, and realism in daily matters, before the Moon in Libra over the weekend emphasizes harmony, cooperation, and adapting to others' needs.

Planetary Aspects of the Week – Short-Term Climate

• The Sun (Sagittarius) square Saturn (Pisces) highlights a gap between expansive impulses and structural or institutional constraints. The overall atmosphere may feel more demanding, with tests of project coherence and the solidity of commitments. This aspect underscores the need to work within real limits and to clearly distinguish what is viable from what belongs to the realm of intention alone.
• Mercury (Scorpio) trine Jupiter (Cancer) broadens collective understanding and encourages a more comprehensive reading of situations. Information tends to align more coherently, supporting in-depth analysis and clarification efforts. This aspect helps connect facts and brings out clearer guiding lines.
• Mercury (Scorpio) trine Saturn (Pisces) brings rigor, continuity, and a sense of responsibility to the handling of data. Decisions are made with greater caution and method, with long-term perspective. This aspect strengthens the reliability of collective assessments and the stability of chosen orientations.
• Mercury (Scorpio) opposition Uranus (Taurus) introduces mental tension and rapid reversals in the flow of information. Revelations, disruptions, or sudden announcements may shake established frameworks. This aspect accentuates contrasts between deep analysis and abrupt reactions to the unexpected.
• Mercury (Scorpio) trine Neptune (Pisces) supports a more subtle understanding of issues, with better awareness of symbolic, psychological, or collective dimensions. Narratives gain nuance and evocative power, which can help shape broader visions. This aspect softens some tensions while opening space for inspiration or renewed imagination.
• Mercury (Scorpio) sextile Pluto (Aquarius) accompanies more lucid insights into collective structures, networks, or systems at play. Emerging information tends to illuminate power dynamics and ongoing processes of transformation. This aspect supports investigative efforts, reform initiatives, or updates to reference frameworks.
• Mars (Sagittarius) square Saturn (Pisces) brings out tensions between the drive to act and contextual or institutional limits. Initiatives encounter resistance, delays, or constraints that require adjusting pace and strategy. This aspect marks a testing phase in which perseverance and recalibrating objectives become essential.
• Mars (Sagittarius) square Neptune (Pisces) introduces a degree of confusion in collective motivations and can blur the line between concrete engagement and idealistic impulse. Hasty or poorly coordinated actions, or those fueled by projections, may run into reality or into the surrounding uncertainty. This aspect encourages clarifying intentions and verifying the alignment between stated goals and available means.

Planetary Positions and Aspects – Longer-Term

Planetary Positions – Medium-Term Climate

• Mars, from 24°53' to 29°23' Sagittarius, advances through the end of the sign without changing direction and sustains a direct, expansive energy oriented toward progress. The collective climate remains dynamic, with a strong need to set a course and coordinate actions around clear objectives. This movement supports straightforward initiatives and decisive action, while underscoring the importance of channeling enthusiasm to preserve overall coherence.
• Jupiter, from 23°59'Я to 23°25'Я Cancer, continues its retrograde motion and extends a phase of refocusing on emotional, familial, or security-related foundations. The collective atmosphere favors assessing protections, resources, and available support before any renewed expansion. This period emphasizes inner consolidation and the need to adjust reference points before reopening the field of possibilities.
• Lilith, from 25°55'Я Scorpio to 20°26' Scorpio, completes its retrograde motion and turns direct on Saturday the 13th, without changing signs.

• The true North Node, from 13°10'Я to 13°00'Я Pisces, slows noticeably between Wednesday and Thursday, marked by a stationary phase on the 11th before resuming retrograde motion on Friday. This oscillation subtly affects the evolutionary dynamic, highlighting a moment of inner adjustment and clarification of collective orientations.
