Your Weekly Horoscope for December 26, 2021

As you kick off the week that leads right into 2022, it's easy to feel everything from self-reflective to optimistic, anxious to joyful, and utterly burned out to fully overwhelmed. And although a new calendar year doesn't necessarily mean that you'll be gifted a whole different vibe overnight, this week's positive shifts in the sky could offer much-needed dreaminess and hope.

On Tuesday, December 28, lucky Jupiter shifts into mutable water sign Pisces, where it last spent time between May 13 and July 28. Because it has an expansive effect on everything it comes in contact with, you can expect amplified Piscean themes — empathy, escapism, illusion, romance, and creativity — to abound until May 10.

The next day, Wednesday, December 29, messenger Mercury pairs up with romantic Venus (which has been in retrograde since early last week) in Capricorn, to make it easier to say what's on your mind and in your heart. When information-gathering Mercury conjuncts powerful Pluto on Thursday, December 30, you'll be able to more easily uncover the truth in any situation that's been shadowy and unclear.

Although New Year's Eve's astrology is fairly quiet — the moon will be making minor aspects in jovial, fiery Sagittarius — New Year's Day hosts a harmonious trine between the confident sun in Capricorn and game-changer Uranus in Taurus. This could give way to exciting, confidence-fueled breakthroughs — definitely a positive note to start 2022 on.

(Pro tip: Be sure to read your rising sign/ascendant, aka your social personality, if you know that, too. If not, consider getting a natal chart reading to find out.)
