What’s Shifting in the Stars This Week?
22 December, 2025
This week carries a strong sense of forward movement and coherence. The Sun, Mercury, Mars and Venus are all together in Sagittarius from the start of the week and remain there throughout, creating unified momentum around truth, direction and purpose. Jupiter continues retrograde in Gemini, keeping growth reflective and thoughtful rather than expansive. Saturn is direct in Pisces, offering steady structure. Rahu remains in Aquarius in Shatabhisha, clear and future oriented in its own nakshatra, while Ketu stays alone in Leo, keeping ego quiet and expression honest.
Aside from Jupiter, all planets are moving forward, and none are in extreme strength or weakness. This creates a rare sense of neutral balance, where progress comes from intention rather than pressure.
