v-star weekly: astro-yoga rituals 4 survival
Week of December 22–28, 2025
Venus Goes “Tradition, Tradition” in Capricorn (and Your Love Life Wants a 2026 Plan)
This is one of those holiday weeks where the vibe is cozy… but the cosmos is quietly handing you a clipboard. Cue the Capricorn efficiency queen.
On Christmas Eve (Wed, Dec 24), Venus makes two big moves: first, she squares Neptune (hello, rose-colored glasses + boundary blur), and then she enters Capricorn—her VIP lounge of commitment, standards, and “show me you mean it.”
The Plot Twist on X-mas Eve: Venus Square Neptune
When Venus and Neptune clash, love gets dreamy… and limits get fuzzy. You might over-give, over-explain, over-commit, or try to be everyone’s magical holiday therapist. Translation: don’t accidentally martyr yourself with gift wrap and logistical rescues. If someone can take a Lyft, they can take a Lyft.
Micro-ritual (for everyone, 2 minutes):
Put one hand on your heart, one on your belly. Ask: “What’s mine to carry—and what’s not?” Write one boundary in your Notes app and keep it simple. You don’t have to take on others’ burdens – each of us most face our own “cross” and do our part.
Venus in Capricorn: Love With Standards (and a Shared Vision)
Later on Christmas Eve, Venus enters Capricorn Dec 24 → Jan 17, and romance gets practical—in a sexy way. Capricorn Venus likes reliability, timelines, and effort that matches words. This is prime territory for:
defining the “situationship” (kindly, but firmly)
making plans that include money, time, and reality
choosing partners who can co-create, not just consume the vibe
Saturday’s First Quarter Moon in Aries: Desire Check
Sat, Dec 27 @ ~2:10 PM ET the Moon hits First Quarter, in Aries—a pivot point that asks: What do I actually want… and what am I just chasing because it sparkles?
Micro-ritual (30 seconds):
Before you buy / RSVP / commit: “Trial run first.” One tiny test beats a dramatic U-turn later.
Mercury Trine Chiron: The Repair Conversation
Also Sat, Dec 27, Mercury harmonizes with Chiron—great for gentle truth, sincere apologies, and naming what hurts without making it a courtroom drama.
Starter Pack
Superpower: mature love + clean follow-through
Watch-out: people-pleasing, fuzzy boundaries, “holiday guilt” commitments
Power move: Standards + tenderness. (High bar, soft voice.)
Yoga Theme of the Week
Steady heart. Strong spine.
Capricorn Venus wants devotion and integrity; Aries Moon wants desire and honesty. Your practice is the bridge.

Closing Note
This week is a holiday lesson in boundaries + devotion: don’t over-give under Venus–Neptune, and don’t play small under Venus in Capricorn. Love gets to be warm and well-structured. That’s not “too much.” That’s called building something that lasts. 💜
