Note:  the dates in this forecast are for Pacific to Eastern time.  

Unless I provide a specific timeframe, we’ll feel the energies 24-72 hours before the date I mention (the date when the planetary alignment is exact).  

They’ll gain strength as they approach, and linger for 24–48 hours after, gradually fading with each passing hour.

💫 Executive Summary

Brrrr it's getting chilly out there! 

To make the most of this week's energies: 

• The Moon spends 9 hours void of course on Monday, so if you're planning to start something you want to succeed, do it either before or after.  See "Moon Void of Course" in this post for dates/times.
  
  
• Tuesday is a great day for having important relationship conversations, or maybe even popping the question!  Venus is sextile Pluto (helpful for a deep emotional bond) and the Moon is waxing in Taurus (great for a long, stable marriage). 
  
  
• On Wednesday, the Moon in Gemini is restless and it can be difficult to get a good night's sleep.  Do some restorative yoga or take a bath with lavender bath salts before bedtime.  

And,  the last Full Moon of 2025 is happening today!  Give thanks for successes AND lessons of 2025, and then release anything you don't want to take with you into 2026! 

• The week ends with a stellar and very helpful Opportunity Period, lasting from Friday evening to Sunday.  If you have a contract to sign, electronics to buy, or something you need to negotiate, you couldn't find a better stretch of astro-weather.

✨ December 4, 3:14 p.m. PST:  Full Moon at 13° Gemini

This last Full Moon of 2025 is a powerful time to give gratitude for the good things that came into your life this year.  

Celebrate your accomplishments and progress - baby steps or leaps, doesn't matter! Remember, by acknowledging and celebrating successes and any help that came your way, you're energetically aligning yourself to receive more blessings.

And, after you’ve given your thanks (and gave yourself a pat on the back, too!), it’s time to release what you don’t want to take with you into the new year.

✨ December 5, 5:54 p.m. to December 7, 5:45 p.m. PST:  a Long and Juicy Opportunity Period.  Mercury Repeats a Grand Trine with Saturn and Jupiter!

Ahhhh how nice!  Opportunity Periods are when the Moon makes positive aspects only before she leaves the sign she is in.   Gates of opportunity open.  Undertakings tend to flow with greater ease.

And this one! It's not just any Opportunity Period... There is a strong Grand Trine in Water Signs!
