SIDEREAL SAGITTARIUS
( DECEMBER 15 - JANUARY 13 )
According to Sidereal astrology, your sign is actually Sagittarius, not Capricorn. Sidereal astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which takes into account the slow progression of the stars in the sky, which, over time, has changed the positions of the zodiac signs. The word ‘Sidereal’ means ‘star’, so the sidereal zodiac is star-based and is aligned with the actual constellations. The more common system used in the West, also known as Tropical astrology, uses the old positions of the zodiac constellations from over 2,000 years ago and only focuses on the seasons of the northern hemisphere. Currently, the sidereal system is 25 degrees out of alignment from the typical Western system. So, if you are born during the first 25 days of your western sign (December 21 to January 13), your zodiac sign goes back one sign, but if you are born during the last 5 days of your western sign (December 15 to 20), your zodiac sign stays the same!
JANUARY 2026
On January 3, a full moon will occur in the nakshatra Ardra. A teardrop symbolizes Ardra, and its name translates as either "moist" or "moisture." This nakshatra is associated with deep sadness and despair, and is often called the "star of sorrow." In Hindu mythology, Ardra is governed by the deity Rudra, who represents storms and destruction.
The full moon in Ardra is interpreted as a sign of intense transformation, emotional depth, and significant change. This alignment is thought to correspond with potentially hazardous storms in certain regions, marked by strong winds and substantial moisture that may cause considerable destruction. Spiritually, this period is associated with profound personal growth, often experienced as a revitalizing yet disruptive force that facilitates self-realization and the release of psychological and emotional burdens, thereby allowing for new and meaningful developments.
Astronomically, Ardra is located at the end of sidereal Taurus and the beginning of sidereal Gemini. Western astrologers often state that this full moon occurs in "Cancer" due to different calculation methods; however, it will be visible in the constellation Gemini. The fixed star associated with Ardra is Betelgeuse, which is situated south of Taurus and Gemini in the constellation Orion. The Moon in this position is believed to evoke powerful emotions, potentially causing old wounds or deep-seated issues to resurface, analogous to a cleansing storm. This period is regarded as favorable for dedicating effort toward personal goals, as directly confronting challenges may result in rejuvenation and increased clarity.rity.
The intense energy of the full moon is considered to peak on the day of the event; however, its effects are typically experienced three to four days before and after. This may result in a challenging week marked by heightened emotions, with residual effects potentially persisting for up to two weeks as the energy diminishes into the subsequent lunar cycle.
During this full moon, the Moon will be positioned directly opposite the Sun, Venus, and Mars, which are closely conjunct in the nakshatra Purva Ashadha within sidereal Sagittarius. This alignment is thought to initiate a series of global events beginning on January 3 and peaking between the 6th and 11th, with the intensity expected to diminish by the final week of the month. This prominent planetary cluster involving the Sun, Venus, and Mars may coincide with significant meteorological events. In the Northern Hemisphere, this could manifest as record-breaking cold waves accompanied by heavy snowfall, while the Southern Hemisphere may experience major heat waves with substantial rainfall and the possibility of earthquakes.
On an individual level, this alignment is thought to lead to increased energy and ambition, resulting in bolder decision-making, greater impulsivity in romantic relationships, and more assertive financial actions. It may also contribute to significant ego conflicts, heightened aggression, and, on a broader scale, an increased potential for international tensions or conflict.
Jupiter will be in direct opposition to these planets during this period. As the planet associated with expansion, Jupiter's influence is believed to amplify any energies it interacts with. This may intensify both individuals' emotional experiences and the meteorological phenomena occurring during this time.
This close planetary alignment is analogous to the concept of conflicting influences, as each planet is believed to possess distinct characteristics. When the Sun, Venus, and Mars are in close proximity, their combined effects are considered particularly intense. In Vedic astrology, this phenomenon is called combustion, which occurs when a planet is too close to the Sun. From Earth's perspective, the Sun's light obscures the planet, symbolically "burning" it and diminishing its typical influence, thereby hindering its ability to express its inherent qualities.
Between January 12 and 14, these planets will transition into sidereal Capricorn, an astrological sign associated with more stable and controlled energy. This shift is expected to moderate the intense influences present during the full moon and the middle of the month. The planetary trio will subsequently enter the nakshatra Uttara Ashadha and will be joined by the Moon in its new phase by January 18, further concentrating celestial bodies in this region of the sky.
The planetary positions in Uttara Ashadha are anticipated to channel the impulsive and rash energy associated with Purva Ashadha, observed earlier in the month, into a more focused and goal-oriented ambition. This transition is likely to cultivate a heightened sense of purpose and renewed motivation to accomplish significant objectives. Both personal and professional relationships may deepen, with an increased emphasis on permanence and commitment. Opportunities for career advancement, public recognition, and an improved public image are also possible. Nevertheless, a heightened focus on high standards and discipline could lead to inflexibility or excessive perfectionism unless balanced by humility and empathy. These astrological influences may also align with major developments in international diplomacy, significant policy reforms, or the rise of influential and principled leaders on the global stage.
DECEMBER 2026 PREDICTIONS
SIDEREAL SAGITTARIUS (DECEMBER 15 - JANUARY 13)
The year 2026 has many things in store for sidereal Sagittarius, but three major planetary transits will shape the general tone for the next twelve months. They are Saturn’s transit through sidereal Pisces, Jupiter moving into sidereal Cancer in June, and the moon’s north and south nodes transit through sidereal Aquarius and Leo.
Since March 2025, Saturn has been transiting through the fourth house for Sagittarius individuals. Over the next two years, this period is characterized by the gradual construction of a foundation for future success and achievement. It is a time of sustained, focused effort to secure material stability. This transit is often considered the least rewarding of Saturn’s cycles, as challenges related to home and living conditions may arise. Attention is directed toward the home environment and residential location, prompting necessary improvements to both home and vehicle. Circumstances may prompt consideration of whether the current residence aligns with personal needs, potentially resulting in a move motivated by duty or necessity, which may feel burdensome. Major concerns during this period are likely to be personal and intimate, with a focus on safeguarding future peace and tranquility. Sensitivity to domestic issues and family needs increases, and there may be heightened responsibilities involving parents, particularly the mother. This transit may negatively affect the health of the mother if she is elderly or unwell. Expansion in public life or community affairs is not favored. There is increased access to memories of upbringing and early childhood, leading to reflection on how individuality and personality have been shaped by family background and ancestry. This process encourages clarification and acceptance of inherited behaviors, preparing for Saturn’s eventual entry into the fifth house. Saturn’s aspects to the sixth, tenth, and first houses may result in restrictions, obstacles, and delays in health, daily work, career advancement, and personal opportunities. In Indian astrology, the fourth house governs the heart, indicating potential vulnerability or challenges related to cardiovascular health.
On June 2, Jupiter will be in their eighth house for the majority of the year. They could make some money through partners, insurance companies, lotteries, and inheritances. Their values may change from personal to universal, from possessinf to sharing, As they surrender their own individual needs and wants in favor of a value system that provides for all, they are rewarded by the possibility of financial gains from wills, legacies, and money from unearned means. They are favored in all matters of joint finances. They may succeed in obtaining loans or grants, and it is a good time to negotiate alimony payments or pensions. Occult and spiritual endeavors are quite favored at this time. they may visit psychics, astrologers, or anyone who can help them uncover secret, hidden knowledge. Or the person may conduct their own research into metaphysical subjects. Because they are free from usual attachments, fears and desires, they are able to delve deeply into issues which they might normally feel sensitive about. Jupiter will be aspecting their twelfth house menaing a year in growth, spiritual development, bargains and the possibility of travel to remote foreign countries for spiritual purposes. The aspect to the second house indicates good luck in earning wealth and favorable educational experiences. The fourth house glance signifies that they may move or obtain a new home or new car. If their mother is still alive, they can benefit from her or from woman who are motherly figures.
In May 2025 the Moon’s north and south nodes entered sidereal aquarius and leo which means they are transiting through your third and ninth house respectively.
North Node in the Third House
This transit fosters a strong desire to be heard and can lead to success in writing, broadcasting, social media, and cinema through innovative communication. It enhances willpower, confidence, and courage, sharpening intellect and rewarding sustained effort with recognition and achievement. Financial gains, promotions, academic success, smooth business operations, and material comforts are possible. New friendships may form, and there may be increased interest in occult or mystical subjects, as well as successful short-distance travel. However, challenges may include harsh speech, suspicion, restlessness, overconfidence, and a tendency to challenge norms. Conflicts with siblings, cousins, or neighbors may arise, along with potential disputes. There may also be obstacles in communication, risk of travel-related accidents, mental stress, and possible financial losses.
South Node in the Ninth House
This transit can lead to a sense of disconnection from established beliefs, mentors, or paternal figures, redirecting focus from external doctrines toward inner truth. Existing philosophies and religious practices may become unfulfilling, prompting individuals to pursue a more personal spiritual quest. Opportunities or inclinations for spiritual journeys, pilgrimages, or study abroad may increase, although these experiences are often accompanied by unexpected changes. A pronounced call to serve teachers, gurus, or superiors may emerge, highlighting altruism rather than personal gain. This period supports realignment with one's true purpose (dharma) and past-life karmas, which may result in unforeseen blessings or challenges. There is an elevated risk of disputes over beliefs or strained relationships with authority figures, underscoring the importance of careful communication. The transit also promotes introspection, meditation, and the search for deeper meaning, while encouraging the release of attachments to outcomes, material comforts, and rigid doctrines. Unexpected changes in travel plans, educational pursuits, or spiritual direction are also possible.

From December 8th to 20th, there will be four significant astrological transits in your 1st House.
On December 8th, Mars enters your 1st House, enhancing your sense of self and independence. You’ll likely feel more assertive and direct in your interactions, but be cautious—this energy can turn aggressive, leading to potential conflicts if you’re prone to irritation.
On December 16th, the Sun joins Mars, bringing a boost in energy and confidence. You may feel enthusiastic and ready to take on new challenges. Focus on your personal identity and appearance, but remember to balance assertiveness with humility to avoid dominating conversations or relationships.

This boosts your confidence and makes you more likable and magnetic to others. You may be drawn to beauty, art, music, fashion, and luxury, which may lead you to spend on cosmetics and clothing or to enhance your home. This transit can also bring career success, particularly in creative fields or roles requiring interpersonal skills. However, if Venus is negatively influenced, self-love may shift towards selfishness or materialism, leading to dissatisfaction and a tendency towards overindulgence in physical pleasures.
NOVEMBER 2025 PREDICTIONS
Mercury will be retrograde in your 12th house for most of the month. Early on, you may prefer staying in and engaging in quiet activities like reading, watching movies, cooking, or napping. As the retrograde continues, you might feel more social. However, once Mercury goes direct at the end of the month, you will likely return to a more introspective mindset. Use this retrograde period to finish any important tasks before the mental fog begins to set in on the 28th.
Mars will be in your twelfth house this month, creating disorientation in your daily life and reducing your motivation. Use this time to reassess your goals and focus on creative and spiritual projects. You may encounter unexpected hostility, especially from men.
On November 5th, a full moon in your fifth house will bring emotional intensity related to creativity, romance, self-expression, and children. This is a peak time for creative projects, allowing you to assert your voice and add playfulness to your life. Expect emotional highs and lows in your love life, significant family events, or emotional issues. Manage your heightened emotions, as they can inspire you but also lead to conflicts.
This month, Venus is in your eleventh house, encouraging social gatherings and connections with friends. You may experience financial gains, but remember to focus on your own goals instead of trying to please others.
From October 18th to December 5th, Jupiter will be in your eighth house, enhancing joint assets with your partner. This is a favorable time for marriage and business partnerships, as they can bring positive benefits. Investments are likely to do well, and issues with taxes, debts, or loans may be resolved. Just be careful not to overextend financially with shared resources. Also, confidential information you obtain could create new opportunities.
