Hey {{first_name | Future Architect}},
This week, the universe throws you some cosmic curveballs.
The Sun squares Saturn on Monday (set those boundaries before family gatherings test them).
Venus squares Saturn on Friday (skip the holiday FOMO, rest is productive).
The Winter Solstice arrives on Saturday, ushering in Capricorn season and asking the question you've been avoiding: What do you want to build in 2026?
Between gift wrapping, travel logistics, and fighting off whatever cold is going around, the stars say: rest isn't lazy, it's strategic.
Now go forth and plan like a Capricorn, dream like a Sagittarius, and rest like you mean it.

HOROSCOPES
Boundaries. Dreams. Foundations.
♈️ ARIES (March 21 – April 19) Energy vampires don't deserve your fire. Monday's Sun-Saturn square highlights exactly who drains your battery during holiday gatherings. Notice who asks for emotional labor without reciprocating. Thursday's New Moon gives you permission to redirect that energy toward adventure instead of obligation. Winter Solstice on Saturday asks: what goal requires your full tank in 2026? Protect your fuel accordingly.
♉️ TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) Stability doesn't mean stagnation. This week challenges your comfort zone, especially around Thursday's New Moon. That "safe" choice you keep making? Saturn's asking if it's actually serving your growth or just avoiding the scary part. The Winter Solstice brings clarity: foundations are meant to support expansion, not prevent it. Build something worth standing on.
♊️ GEMINI (May 21 – June 20) Your curiosity needs direction. Thursday's New Moon in Sagittarius activates your opposite sign, asking you to commit to one big idea instead of collecting seventeen half-started projects. Saturn's squares early in the week show you which conversations are worth having and which are just noise. Winter Solstice whispers: depth over breadth wins in 2026.
♋️ CANCER (June 21 – July 22) Not everyone deserves your nurturing energy. Monday's Sun-Saturn square is your cosmic permission slip to stop caretaking people who won't help themselves. Friday's Venus-Saturn square says rest isn't selfish, it's survival. Thursday's New Moon invites you to dream about routines that actually support you. Winter Solstice asks: what would your life look like if you nurtured yourself first?
♌️ LEO (July 23 – August 22) Your spotlight needs boundaries. This week tests whether you're performing for applause or living for purpose. Monday's square challenges relationships where you're doing all the emotional heavy lifting. Thursday's New Moon says it's okay to want adventure AND commitment. Winter Solstice reminds you: the brightest stars know when to rest. Shine strategically in 2026.
♍️ VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) Perfection is the enemy of progress. Saturn's squares early this week show you where high standards have become procrastination in disguise. Thursday's New Moon asks you to start something before it's "ready." The Winter Solstice brings relief: 2026's goals don't need to be perfect, they need to be real. Done beats flawless every time.
♎️ LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) Not every peace is worth keeping. Monday's Sun-Saturn square reveals which relationships require you to shrink to maintain harmony. That's not balance, that's erasure. Thursday's New Moon activates your communication sector—say the thing you've been softening. Winter Solstice asks: what would you build in 2026 if you stopped managing everyone else's feelings first?
♏️ SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) Control and trust are having a conversation. Early week squares push you to release what you're white-knuckling. Thursday's New Moon asks: what would feel possible if you trusted the process? Friday's Venus-Saturn square says rest isn't giving up, it's recharging. Winter Solstice brings clarity: the depth you crave in 2026 requires you to let go first.
♐️ SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) Your optimism needs a plan. Monday's Sun-Saturn square in your sign is the reality check before Thursday's New Moon in your sign becomes the launchpad. Dream big, but Saturn's demanding you show your work. Friday says rest before the Solstice shift. Your 2026 vision is valid—now build the foundation that can actually hold it.
♑️ CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) Your season starts Saturday, but the prep starts now. This week is about releasing what 2025 taught you before claiming what 2026 requires. Monday's square shows you which standards are still serving you and which are just heavy. Thursday's New Moon asks you to rest before your solar return. Winter Solstice is your new year—arrive ready.
♒️ AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18) Innovation requires integration. The squares early this week show you which brilliant ideas need grounding before they can fly. Thursday's New Moon activates your subconscious—the breakthrough you need is in the quiet, not the chaos. Winter Solstice asks: what are you releasing before 2026 so your revolution has room to land?
♓️ PISCES (February 19 – March 20) Your dreams need boundaries. Saturn in your sign is squaring the Sun and Venus this week, asking you to build containers for your visions. Thursday's New Moon highlights your community—who supports your goals versus who just likes your energy? Winter Solstice brings clarity: the magic you want in 2026 requires you to get practical about who and what gets access to you.

TOP TRANSIT
🌑 New Moon in Sagittarius (December 19)
The final new moon of 2025 lands in adventure-seeking Sagittarius, asking one crucial question: What are you no longer willing to settle for?
This lunation arrives just two days before the Winter Solstice and Capricorn season, making it the bridge between dreaming and doing. Sagittarius brings the vision. Capricorn (coming Saturday) brings the structure to make it real.
This New Moon is your chance to break out of your comfort zone before the year ends. Say yes to the opportunity that scares you a little.
✨ Ask yourself: If I enter 2026 exactly as I am now, will I be proud or regretful? What needs to change in the next two weeks?

YOUR TURN
💬 Your Turn: What's ONE Goal You're Committing to for 2026?
The New Moon on Thursday and the Winter Solstice on Saturday are the universe's way of saying: time's up on vague intentions. Get specific.
Pick one. Just one.
1. The Goal You've Been Avoiding
The thing you keep saying you'll "get to eventually." The project that feels too big, too scary, too vulnerable. Thursday's New Moon says: start it before it's perfect.
Try: Write down the goal. Then list the first three micro-steps. Not the whole plan—just the first three moves. Do step one this week.
2. The Boundary You're Finally Setting
Monday's Sun-Saturn square is showing you exactly where you're overextending. The person you always say yes to. The commitment that drains you. The pattern you keep repeating.
Try: Complete this sentence: "In 2026, I will no longer ___ because it costs me ___." Say it out loud. Text it to a friend. Make it real.
3. The Dream That Won't Die
The vision that keeps coming back no matter how many times you dismiss it as "unrealistic." Neptune's been foggy all year, but the Solstice brings clarity. What if it's not unrealistic? What if you're just getting ready?
Try: Spend 15 minutes on Saturday (Solstice night) visualizing this dream as if it's already real. What does it feel like? Who's there? What changed? Write down every detail.
✔ Choose ONE
✔ Take ONE action before Solstice
✔ Notice how commitment creates momentum
Because the moment you get specific about what you want... the universe gets specific about how to deliver it.
