Horoscopes for the week of December 1-7, 2025.

The astrology this week echoes the overall vibe right now of ‘crawling towards the finish line’.

Exhale! An especially tricky Mercury retrograde is now behind you. With communication, logistics and the daily grind back on track, it’s a week to clean up the mess from last week.

The high point of the week is a full moon on Friday (AEST and GST) that feels like a significant turning point, and an opportunity to potentially clear the air. With Venus also in a new, more direct sign, saying what you mean, and meaning what you say, should come a little easier.

Horoscopes for the week of December 1-7, 2025:

ARIES AND ARIES RISING

Finally, things are starting to move in the right direction, with the sky supporting progress, candour and a not insubstantial amount of fun. As Sagittarius season finally gets an opportunity to take the lead, you’ll be in the mood to play, or maybe just get out of town. Still, there are some loose ends from last week (and the week before) you should tend to before you get too distracted booking a last-minute trip somewhere fabulous for the New Year.

Close the loop before starting anything too significant; future you will thank you for it.

TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING

You’ve been in the firing line the past couple of weeks, but this week, rest assured, things are starting to fall into place. As the skies shift the focus from “all the things that could go wrong” to something a little more optimistic, working through the tangle of the past couple of weeks should feel easier.

On Thursday, the full moon could stir up some big realisations around how you manage your money. Unexpected intel or opportunities are not to be taken for granted; this is all connected to what the past three weeks have been trying to teach you.

GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING

Bust out the sparklers, you’re in the mood to party. After a grinding Mercury retrograde and a major moment of truth towards the end of last week, this week things are looking up. Yes, there’s still some confusion to sort out, but it’s nothing you can’t handle.

On Thursday and Friday, you’ll be in flow and in the mood to let your hair down. If the office holiday party falls around these couple of days, be warned, you could be the last person standing.

CANCER AND CANCER RISING

As la luna builds towards a full moon on Thursday/Friday, you might be feeling more in flow than you have been for weeks. As you work through the aftermath of what has been a somewhat tricky time, there’s a sense of resolution about the energy this week. Where roadblocks have previously appeared, all the setbacks now feel a little more surmountable in a strange way, so you can move forward, not denying the flaws, but honouring them.

The full moon on Thursday could inspire some radical candour at work, not necessarily a bad thing, but it may not have the impact you expect.

LEO AND LEO RISING

Did somebody say party? The full sparkle of Sagittarius season is finally getting its close-up this week, and it is spelling good times for Leo folks. The energy peaks on Thursday/Friday, when a full moon sets off glitter bombs and has you feeling in the mood to let your hair down. Beyond the frivolity, there’s also a sense of progress with some other larger storylines that have been weighing heavily on your mind.

Mind you, it’s not all great shoes and winged eyeliner. There is still some bigger stuff to sort out from the past week or two, but at least this week you can do it with a little spring in your step.

VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING

There’s a moment of realisation and release for Virgo folks later in the week, when a full moon in Gemini asks you to get curious about what it is you really want. Before you get there, you’re in clean-up mode. Gloves on, sleeves rolled up, there’s a lot to sort through after the toing and froing of the past couple of weeks.

After a wild amount of inertia, the sudden surge forward in getting stuff done will feel like heaven to your productivity-focused soul.

LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING

The yearning to get out of town, for a weekend, or maybe even longer, will be a major vibe this week for Librans. With a full moon at the end of the week, lighting up the sphere of your chart concerned with travel, not booking a trip will be almost impossible.

In less exciting realms, you’re working through some issues that arose last week, potentially involving money or shared assets. Things that felt fraught in late November should begin to be resolved, although the solution may not be what you expect.

SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING

The holiday season ramps up a notch this week with a full moon around Thursday/Friday, signalling good times and unexpected spending. With Sagittarius season igniting a need to shop, you will be all about the holiday gifting EDMs (consider yourself warned!).

The slight “off” vibes that may have dominated last week (and the week before) are alleviating too; a huge relief after what has been a trying time for Scorpio folks.

SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING

Even in your most low-key moments, you’re not adverse to a little party, and this week you’ll be going full tilt. Centaurs (your sign’s symbol) were the party animals of ancient mythology. You’ll be leaning into that social butterfly reputation this week. It peaks on Friday when a full moon in Gemini is the green flag you didn’t know you needed to let your hair down.

Keep an eye out for an undertone of the unexpected. Confessions made in the heat of the moment may have long-ranging impacts.

CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING

There’s a realisation on the horizon this week for Capricorns. Before you get there, there are a few other, less interesting bits and pieces you need to sort out. The confusion and crossed wires that dominated the past week or two will be on your mind, as you work through a resolution, the answer may not be exactly what you anticipated. Pay attention to unconventional approaches— they could actually be the fix you were looking for.

On Thursday/Friday, a full moon delivers a light bulb moment about a work situation. Again, the solution may not be what you first expected.

AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING

You’re on a “fix it” mission this week as the chaos of mid to late November starts to subside. With a very strong influence from Uranus—the planet that rules innovation, disruption, and going against the grain—you may find that the way to get things done is not the most conformist approach.

At the end of the week, you’ll be in the mood to let off steam. Spontaneous catch-ups, long lunches or all of the above will be food for your soul.

PISCES AND PISCES RISING

Things are looking up this week with Sagittarius season tempting you to quit second-guessing things and get amongst it. In the background, you’re retracing your steps—or missteps as the case may be—from the past few weeks. Things that felt fraught or confusing finally start to fall into place.

Towards the end of the week, you’ll be ready to celebrate all the little wins. When your phone lights up with last-minute invites, just say “yes”. You deserve a little fun.
