A Galactic Center New Moon on the day 3I/ATLAS peaks and a Solstice shift closes the year as we enter a new era.

The last two weeks of 2025 don’t feel like a tidy wrap-up. They feel like a handoff. Like the year is less interested in “closure” and more interested in initiation. 2025 has been incredibly tough for most. If I had to pick one tarot card to summarize what this year meant it would be the Tower: sudden, chaotic, and often unwelcome upheaval…destruction that clears the way for something truer. The Tower doesn’t fall to punish you. It falls because what was built couldn’t hold the weight of what you’re becoming. And in a very real way, these last two weeks feel like the final wave of that Tower energy; the final recalibration that asks you to choose what’s real, release what’s been leaking, and step into 2026 with a clean slate. As above so below, the astrology supports this: we’re moving through a stretch where Sagittarius wants truth, meaning, and growth, while Pisces (Saturn + Neptune) demands integrity, boundaries, and discernment inside the dream.

End of Year Weather

So here’s the “End of Year Weather.” Tomorrow on 12/16, the Sun in Sagittarius squares Saturn in Pisces and the cosmic reality check begins. This is when your big vision meets one simple question: Can you actually hold it? Not in a punitive way—more like a sacred audit. On the same day, Mercury finally leaves its retrograde shadow, which tends to feel like the mind finally stops circling the same block and starts moving forward again. Decisions should feel simpler now, but only when you stop negotiating with what you already know.

Then on 12/19, there is a New Moon in Sagittarius on 12/19 (28°24’). This one is extra exciting because it conjuncts the Galactic Center which means new beginnings will be divinely supported. Whether you experience that as “cosmic broadcast,” “downloads,” or simply a moment of startling inner honesty, this energy is asking you to reset the meaning. Recommit to your truest story. Let a bigger perspective reorganize all the smaller fears that have been running your life on autopilot.

To add even more cosmic energy to this New Moon, on this is the same day interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS reaches its closest approach to Earth. Symbolically, this is potent. Something literally from beyond our system is showing up at the same time as a Galactic Center New Moon. There are no coincidences. 3I/ATLAS is a harbinger of a new era bringing a higher frequency, new information, and accelerated evolution to our planet. Not in a doomsday way. More like a reminder that the old operating systems can’t run the new current. If you’ve felt pressure in your nervous system lately, or a strange intolerance for what once felt fine, that may be your body responding to this energy.

That’s also why I keep coming back to this idea of the Resonance Era. We’re moving out of an identity era – where people anchored themselves to labels and roles- and into an era where the compass is feeling. What resonates expands. What doesn’t collapses. The truth is you won’t be able to think your way into the right timeline anymore. You’ll choose it by what your system can peacefully hold. We’re entering an era of meaning-centered decisions: relationships, work, habits, and communities will increasingly organize around coherence, not obligation.

By 12/20, the sky gets a little foggier and more revealing at the same time if that makes sense. With the Sun squaring Neptune, be careful not to confuse escapism with inspiration—because those two can feel identical when you’re tired, longing, or trying to outrun your own emotions. We also have Venus squaring Saturn: the kind of frustrating energy that asks you to revisit your boundaries around love, money, and emotional availability. Not because you’re doing something wrong, but because you’re being asked to stop leaking. To stop overextending. To stop paying for peace with your own life force. Let the fog show you where you’ve been hoping instead of knowing.

On 12/21, we have the Winter Solstice-the moment light returns. It is the yearly hinge: the longest night in the Northern Hemisphere, and then—quietly—more light begins to come back. Even if nothing “big” happens externally, the psyche hears it: we’re turning. we’re not stuck. This is also when the Sun enters Capricorn, shifting the collective energy from vision to structure. What you named at the New Moon now wants a plan, a container, and a practice. Another beautiful sign from the universe is the Ursid meteor shower. It will peak the same day reminding us that even the darkness can sparkle if you step outside long enough to look up.

Who will feel this energy the most

If you’ve been feeling unusually sensitive, restless, “wired and tired,” or like you can’t tolerate what you used to tolerate, you’re not imagining it. This stretch is going to land strongest for a few groups:

You’ll feel this the most if you have late-degree placements (roughly 26°–29°) in the mutable signs—Sagittarius, Gemini, Pisces, Virgo—because the New Moon at 28° Sagittarius plus the Saturn/Neptune pressure is hitting that exact zone. This can show up as a sudden identity reset, a relationship truth you can’t ignore, a career crossroads, or a spiritual “I can’t go back to sleep now” moment. If you’ve got your Sun, Moon, Rising, Mercury, Venus, or Mars there, expect a very personal recalibration.

You’ll also feel it strongly if you have big natal placements in Sagittarius or in your 9th house. Especially if you’ve been in a season of doubt, disillusionment, or spiritual restlessness because the New Moon + Galactic Center combination can feel like a direct “course correction.”

If you’re someone with heavy Pisces/12th house energy, you may feel the Saturn/Neptune mix as fatigue, emotional overwhelm, or a sense of “fog” around what’s true. This isn’t a sign you’re failing. It’s a sign you need clean boundaries. If you’ve been numbing, escaping, or over-consuming, this is the window where you’ll notice it more clearly, and where it becomes easier to choose something healthier.

And finally, you’ll feel this if you’ve had a very “Tower year”—loss, endings, sudden pivots, identity shakeups, or an old life collapsing. If 2025 broke something open in you, these last two weeks can feel like the moment you finally understand what it was breaking you open for. The grief may still be real, but the direction becomes clearer. This is the part where the rubble starts looking like a foundation.

Closing Thoughts…

These last two weeks of 2025 are cleansing, clarifying and supportive of our calibration. The only thing that is being asked of you is to stop feeding what you’ve outgrown. That’s it. Nothing needs to be forced. The Sagittarius energy will bring you the truth. The Piscean energy will help you refine your dream. And the Capricorn energy will help you build the next chapter with integrity. So notice the magic, not only in this holiday season, but in the electric atmosphere of this moment. Something is arriving for you to meet it with steadiness, devotion, and one resonance-based choice at a time.
