🔭 Astronomical Events

December 22 to December 28, 2025

Written by Mia Astrology

This is a steady and productive week in the sky. Nothing chaotic is happening, and there are no rare or unexpected disruptions. Instead, you get a clean path forward. The Moon is growing, the constellations are stable, and the only meteor activity comes from the final nights of the Ursids. This is helpful because you get a calm period to organize your thoughts, set plans, and move into the final days of the year with clarity.

Here is everything happening above you this week, based on verified astronomical data.

🌕 Moon Phases and What They Mean

Waxing Crescent Moon December 22 to December 26

The Moon is building energy after the New Moon that occurred on December 19.
 During this phase, people often feel more motivated and ready to make decisions. You may notice that your priorities become clearer, and tasks feel easier to start.

Good for:

• Beginning new routines
  
  
• Planning for early 2026
  
  
• Returning to projects you paused earlier in December
  
  

Signs most sensitive:
 Sagittarius Gemini Virgo and Pisces tend to feel the shift as the Moon grows.

First Quarter Moon December 27

This is the first checkpoint of the lunar cycle. It often brings a moment when you must choose a direction or take a step you have been considering.

You might notice:

• A situation reaching a point where waiting is no longer helpful
  
  
• A need to speak up
  
  
• Progress on something you started around December 19
  
  

This Moon phase supports action. It does not ask for perfection. It simply asks for movement.

Signs most affected:
 Pisces Virgo Gemini Sagittarius

🌠 Meteor Activity

Ursid Meteor Shower December 22 and December 23

The Ursids peak around December 21 into early December 22, but faint activity continues into December 22 and December 23. This is a small meteor shower, usually producing a handful of meteors per hour.

Best viewing:

• Northern Hemisphere
  
  
• After midnight
  
  
• Dark areas with little artificial light
  
  
• Good visibility due to the thin Moon this week

 This is a good time for reflection, reviewing the past year, and checking in with your long term goals. You may receive insights or clarity during quiet nighttime moments.
