Your Weekly Horoscopes: December 14 to 20, 2025

Sluggish? Motivation is on the horizon

dec 14 to 20 horoscopes

This week brings a sluggish aspect between Mars and Neptune on the 14th, and a harsh square between the sun (our life force) and Saturn (our limits) on the 16th. The sun then forms its own difficult aspect with Neptune on the 20th. Energy is frustrated, low and confused. The new moon in Sagittarius on the 19th emphasizes all of this sleepy, defeated energy, with intentions set here being more about the long game than fiery Sagittarian whims.

Thankfully, on the 15th, Mars moves into Capricorn where the action planet acts like an ultra-competent chief of staff. This shift brings motivation to an otherwise listless week, allowing us to power through holiday shopping and errands that, despite the cosmic haze, have to get done. It's time to channel your inner Ina, friends.

(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that sign too will provide further insight.)
