Put a STAMP On 2025! Sun-Saturn & Mercury-Pluto Finalize Future Partnerships & Plotlines · Cozy with the Cosmos with Astrologer Sarah Paasch

• 0:00
  Hello and welcome back to our weekly astrology podcast.
• 0:03
  For every Thursday, we light our candles, we grab our blankets,
• 0:07
  we get cozy, and we talk all things cosmos.
• 0:10
  I'm Sarah Posh, astrologer and coach.
• 0:12
  And in this week's episode, we're going to cover the major
• 0:15
  transits of this final week of the Scorpio new moon cycle.
• 0:18
  This isn't a very loud week. There's not a lot of big
• 0:22
  astrology happening. In fact, a lot of the astrology
• 0:25
  is saying it's time to slow down.
• 0:27
  It's time to let go, maybe final analyze some things or bring
• 0:31
  them into completion because after this week we're going to
• 0:34
  get into the Sagittarius new moon, the last new moon of 2025.
• 0:38
  And really at this point, we are at the pivot point into the 2026
• 0:42
  astrology, the year ahead astrology.
• 0:44
  It is dramatic. It's still not too late.
• 0:47
  If you haven't already, we have linked below the registration
• 0:50
  for our 2026 forecast webinar workshop.
• 0:54
  It's a two-part series. We're going to be doing it on
• 0:56
  Thursdays, two hours each in December, and I'll be joined
• 1:00
  with astrologers Alexandra Blair and Whitney Kranz.
• 1:03
  It's going to give you a grounded thematic storyline
• 1:07
  overview, and it's also going to break down the astrology in ways
• 1:11
  that you could relate to personally.
• 1:13
  So we're not getting into all the nitty gritty of the
• 1:15
  collective drama that 2026 is sure to bring.
• 1:19
  This is more centered around what you can do to support
• 1:22
  yourself, to prepare, to look ahead and see what big changes
• 1:26
  are coming in 2026. The event is live and it will be
• 1:29
  recorded. So if you can't make one or both
• 1:32
  of the live events, you'll still get the recording if you
• 1:35
  register for that event. And also don't forget there is a
• 1:38
  digital companion workbook that we custom made to go alongside
• 1:42
  and support you throughout the astrology of the year ahead.
• 1:45
  And that companion workbook in addition to an overall transit
• 1:49
  list. So every single transit for the
• 1:51
  year ahead is going to be included in that.
• 1:53
  We're going to have practical tools, resources, references,
• 1:56
  rituals, ideas, things to help you stay grounded, centered, and
• 2:01
  hopefully in a sense of participation and inspiration
• 2:05
  instead of any kind of Astro anxiety.
• 2:08
  If you haven't registered already, we would love to have
• 2:10
  you there, especially if you can make it live.
• 2:12
  And with that, let's go ahead and jump into the major transits
• 2:15
  for this week's astrology. So this third quarter lunar
• 2:17
  phase, the final phase of the Scorpio New Moon is going to
• 2:20
  start on Thursday, December 11th when we have the Moon and Virgo.
• 2:24
  On that same day, we're going to have Mercury completing its
• 2:27
  grandwater trine and kite formation with that trying to
• 2:30
  Neptune, which just stationed direct and also entering into
• 2:35
  Sagittarius. And then on Saturday, December
• 2:37
  13th, the moon is going to be in Libra.
• 2:39
  Mercury in Sagittarius gets to shake hands with Pluto for the
• 2:43
  third and final time. And then just following on
• 2:46
  Sunday, December 14th, we're going to have the Moon enter
• 2:49
  into Scorpio, Mars and Sagittarius makes its square to
• 2:53
  Neptune at 29° and then enters into Capricorn.
• 2:57
  A major and helpful dignity shift for when it comes to the
• 3:00
  ways that we take action, our ambitions.
• 3:03
  Mars is definitely getting an upgrade this week.
• 3:05
  And then just as Mercury leaves its retrograde shadow on
• 3:08
  Tuesday, December 16th, we end this lunar cycle and this week
• 3:12
  on a pretty sober note because we've got the Sun in Sagittarius
• 3:15
  making that exact square to Saturn and Pisces.

  It helps the channel so much. And also that way you never miss
• 3:27
  a new episode when it comes out every Thursday.
• 3:29
  Speaking of, we're missing an episode.
• 3:31
  Did you check out Gemini full moon horoscopes and tarot card
• 3:34
  reading? This was a big full moon.
• 3:36
  It was a major turning point where we were being called to
• 3:38
  make these big decisions to take all of the clarity, the deep
• 3:41
  digging that we did during the Mercury retrograde cycle and to
• 3:45
  bring that into some finalizing clarity, some major decisions to
• 3:50
  prioritize what's urgent, what's important, and also to push
• 3:54
  through the Mars square, Saturn overcoming maybe some covert
• 3:58
  internal resistance or blocks, moving us forward.
• 4:01
  So comment below. I'd love to hear what your
• 4:03
  rising sign is and where you're sitting on the other side of
• 4:07
  that Gemini full moon. Did you have any big decisions?
• 4:10
  Did you have any major truth bombs or major turning points
• 4:14
  when it comes to new clarity and seeing the decisions that we
• 4:17
  make now are taking us into 2026?
• 4:20
  I'd love to hear from you. Comment below, Please fill me
• 4:24
  in. I love the Gemini full moon
• 4:26
  teeth. All right, with that, let's go
• 4:27
  ahead and soften into the astrology of this week.
• 4:31
  We're going to actually start with that Mercury sextile Pluto.
• 4:35
  So if you'll remember, Mercury has made this sextile 2 previous
• 4:38
  times. The fact that this Mercury
• 4:40
  sextile Pluto, that's happening on Saturday, December 13th with
• 4:44
  the waning moon in Libra, there is this layered compounding
• 4:50
  message that the astrology is giving us around really bringing
• 4:54
  things to completion. Maybe we're finalizing
• 4:56
  contracts. Maybe we're finally ready to say
• 4:59
  yes or sign some sort of dotted line.
• 5:02
  Do you feel like negotiations are coming to a clear standing
• 5:06
  point? Does it feel like you're
• 5:07
  reaching this point of clarity around what you're letting go
• 5:11
  of? What contracts maybe you're say
• 5:13
  no to at this point? It could also be that especially
• 5:16
  after Mercury's final draft in that grand water trine series
• 5:20
  and the kite, there might be an availability from all of the
• 5:23
  work you've been doing, potentially from the inside out
• 5:26
  because they're water trines now.
• 5:27
  It's almost like there's this whole new level of proposal or
• 5:31
  potential introduction to new potential partnerships and
• 5:33
  collaborations that are coming in on this final sextile to
• 5:37
  Pluto. So pay attention.
• 5:38
  Where are you standing in your own clarity and what are you
• 5:42
  open and available to receive? Maybe there's some sort of
• 5:46
  decision power that's taking a turn for the better.
• 5:49
  To me, this is feeling like Mercury finally has the chance
• 5:52
  to have the conversation with the right person to get the
• 5:55
  answers that we actually need before we move forward,
• 5:58
  especially into 2026. And regardless, for everybody,
• 6:01
  just so you know, this is really good astrology.
• 6:04
  If you have something to say, if you've been sitting on a truth
• 6:08
  or sitting on a decision and you haven't delivered the message
• 6:11
  yet, this sex sextile is a final sextile.
• 6:14
  It is fully informed, it has been researched, it has been
• 6:17
  revised, and now it's ready to be put out there.
• 6:21
  And what would it be like to do so with a little bit more
• 6:23
  empowerment behind the words that you say.
• 6:26
  That doesn't mean you speak louder.
• 6:28
  That doesn't mean you say more Mercury and Sagittarius words.
• 6:32
  There's less justification, there's less explaining.
• 6:35
  The power comes with the simplicity, the clarity, being
• 6:38
  concise and direct. We're getting straight to the
• 6:41
  truth of the matter. All right, that takes us into
• 6:43
  the next transit of this week. And we're getting into the moon
• 6:46
  in Scorpio. It is waning, it is darkening.
• 6:49
  We're getting close to that balsamic phase, the final phase
• 6:52
  of the lunar cycle. And Sunday is kind of a very
• 6:55
  interesting, confusing, maybe disoriented combination of
• 7:00
  astrology on Sunday, December 14th, with that Moon in Scorpio
• 7:05
  ruled by Mars, who is the active planetary player of the day,
• 7:10
  Mars and Sagittarius is going to square Neptune in Pisces at 29°
• 7:15
  and then enter into Capricorn. So first let's break this down
• 7:18
  because Mars squared Neptune. This could be a few things.
• 7:22
  First of all, Mars in a hard aspect with Neptune, things are
• 7:26
  not clear. We do not have a linear path
• 7:29
  forward with the actions we take.
• 7:31
  The way that Mars needs to work with Neptune or learn from this
• 7:35
  square with Neptune is when the right action is actually in
• 7:40
  action, when to kind of hit that tap out button.
• 7:43
  So that's something outside of ourselves, if we kind of imagine
• 7:46
  the invisible forces working behind the scenes can kind of
• 7:50
  tap in and do the work for us. It could also be a little bit
• 7:54
  like Neptune has Mars drunk on vision, on idealism, on a sense
• 8:00
  of belief. Like this is what I'm going to
• 8:02
  do and I have so many ideas. This Mars and Sagittarius is on
• 8:06
  fire and it's inflamed. It's so excited and inspired and
• 8:10
  also probably a little bit exhausted.
• 8:12
  And often that's what we can feel like when we have a hard
• 8:15
  aspect between Mars and Neptune. So this isn't a time to push
• 8:20
  your agenda. This isn't a time to force
• 8:23
  action that feels heavy, exhausting.
• 8:27
  If things aren't flowing, you're not in the flow.
• 8:30
  This is a moment where you need to check in with yourself.
• 8:33
  You just made these really big decisions on the Gemini Full
• 8:35
  moon. You just had this clarity.
• 8:37
  You just hopefully prioritize what is most urgent, most
• 8:41
  important. Maybe you had the courage and
• 8:43
  had the conviction to overcome some of those covert resistance
• 8:48
  distance with the Mars square Saturn.
• 8:50
  Maybe you took a small but mighty step in the direction of
• 8:53
  your dreams. This is a moment of integration.
• 8:56
  This is a moment of releasing, letting go.
• 8:59
  Saturn told Mars you need to get serious.
• 9:01
  You need to simplify, streamline and prioritize.
• 9:05
  This week, Mars is getting the yellow light of slow down,
• 9:11
  integrate, take a rest, take a moment and allow the pieces that
• 9:15
  you put into place to start to reveal what significance and
• 9:20
  impact that's going to have that's going to direct you
• 9:22
  moving forward. This is not a moment to force
• 9:26
  something just because we're so fired up about it.
• 9:30
  This is not a moment of if there's a will, there's a way.
• 9:33
  This is the moment to say, OK, I am going to let go of everything
• 9:37
  needing to play out exactly the way I hoped or imagined or
• 9:42
  envisioned. And because I allowed that
• 9:44
  Gemini full moon, that Saturn square, to really sober me up
• 9:49
  and make those decisions, make those priorities, I'm willing to
• 9:53
  let something go. I'm willing to let Neptune
• 9:56
  dissolve the barriers or the distractions of too many ideas
• 10:00
  or too many commitments. So listen and pay attention.
• 10:04
  What's being washed away right now or where if you're slowing
• 10:07
  down, are you tapping into a new sense of moving in the space of
• 10:12
  flow state? How is rest potentially becoming
• 10:15
  this ally to allow the flow of the things that you've put into
• 10:21
  motion to move forward on their own or with some of that outside
• 10:25
  help that I spoke to? It's confusing.
• 10:27
  It's a little bit disorienting and there might be some grief
• 10:31
  that comes up. Maybe this is a where Mars has
• 10:34
  to come to terms with the fact that even though it can feel so
• 10:37
  good to be so clear and confident and courageous and
• 10:40
  bold to make those priorities, to make those decisions, to put
• 10:43
  something down in order to put something first.
• 10:47
  There's still a grief that might follow.
• 10:49
  A grief of what's not coming with us, of the actions or the
• 10:52
  dreams and the ambitions that for right now, they need to be
• 10:55
  set down. And then right after that, Mars
• 10:58
  is going to enter into Capricorn.
• 10:59
  And this is a huge dignity shift for Mars.
• 11:02
  This is a huge upgrade for Mars. And what I love about this is
• 11:05
  it's kind of like the more we're willing to take that pause to
• 11:08
  integrate, to let go, kind of like letting the dust to settle
• 11:12
  from the Scorpio new moon cycle, especially the Gemini full moon
• 11:15
  that just happened the week before.
• 11:17
  Now Mars is getting this warrior makeover.
• 11:21
  And whatever mean by that is like getting upgraded with the
• 11:24
  armor that Mars is going to be wearing, the team that Mars is
• 11:28
  going to be building, the clarity around stages of
• 11:31
  strategizing, planning so that we can actually start building
• 11:35
  something real. This is what Mars is going to be
• 11:38
  moving into as Mars moves into Capricorn.
• 11:40
  But in order to get there, Mars has to let something go.
• 11:43
  Mars has to make some sort of sacrifice or take some sort of
• 11:47
  personal day of rest and reset before it can enter into this
• 11:51
  next phase, this promotion in Capricorn of leading the force,
• 11:55
  leading the team. Also, this is a transit that's
• 11:58
  going to be playing out for the next couple of months.
• 12:01
  And what I do like about this timing is that it almost feels
• 12:04
  like Mars is this exalted guest in Capricorn who gets to cut the
• 12:09
  line of everybody who's waiting to get into the place where we
• 12:12
  actually get to start feeling like we're making something
• 12:14
  realer, starting our plans, building, moving forward.
• 12:18
  And all the planets in Sagittarius are moving into
• 12:21
  Capricorn next. There's going to be this big
• 12:23
  pile up. It's how we start 2026.
• 12:26
  It's actually one of my favorite moments of 2026.
• 12:29
  I like the Capricorn pile up, but right now, Mars is the only
• 12:32
  one there. Mars is the not sole survivor,
• 12:36
  right? But like the sole resider of
• 12:39
  seeing, whoa, this is what we're walking into.
• 12:43
  So take note of when you take that moment to take a step back
• 12:46
  when Mars squares Neptune. And what does that stepping
• 12:49
  back, taking that time to reflect and rest open you up to
• 12:53
  be available to receive and witness of what it is that we're
• 12:57
  going to be stepping into. And I myself would not expect to
• 13:00
  feel or see or sense the Mars entering into Capricorn as this
• 13:04
  sudden burst of, you know, readiness to move forward and
• 13:08
  start putting things into motion.
• 13:09
  Because while Mars might be ready and already inside the
• 13:13
  building, we still have the sun in Sagittarius that has to
• 13:16
  answer to Saturn and Pisces and then Mercury and Venus that
• 13:19
  still have to make their way into Capricorn this week.
• 13:22
  This astrology, it needs you to have the fortitude, the
• 13:27
  foresight of Capricorn to know when is the right time to
• 13:31
  actually get started and when is the time time to wait.
• 13:35
  And then that leads us directly into the not so fun.
• 13:39
  But honestly, I don't hate it as the final ending point of this
• 13:44
  Scorpio lunar cycle when on Tuesday, December 16th, the Sun
• 13:48
  in Sagittarius makes that square to Saturn and Pisces at 25°.
• 13:53
  Here's why I don't hate this because one, that means that we
• 13:56
  start a Sagittarius New Moon separating from that Saturn
• 14:01
  square. The hard work is behind us.
• 14:04
  That's what that tells me. I also love this because it
• 14:07
  feels like Saturn is giving us the opportunity to fortify,
• 14:12
  integrate and really make real all of the deep work that we've
• 14:17
  been doing during the Scorpio New Moon lunar cycle.
• 14:21
  Well, typically a sun square Saturn just feels rough.
• 14:25
  It feels heavy, it's uncomfortable.
• 14:27
  It's the voice of self doubt and inner critic.
• 14:30
  Heavy opportunity for imposter syndrome to show up.
• 14:34
  I actually think this is a moment of up leveling and the
• 14:37
  sense that Saturn is saying, okay, you have made all of these
• 14:41
  big decisions. You have done all of this inner
• 14:44
  work. You've probably done some
• 14:45
  clearing and cleansing and maybe some shadow works.
• 14:48
  And maybe you've put it into a little bit of action.
• 14:51
  And now it's telling us the Sun needs you to make it real by
• 14:56
  putting it into identity, putting it into coherence with
• 15:00
  this new sense of self and purpose.
• 15:03
  So that the way you show up, the tough decisions that you make,
• 15:08
  the delays you're deciding to accept.
• 15:11
  All of that comes to this full circle moment where the Sun in
• 15:15
  Sagittarius is invited to cross this threshold of proving
• 15:20
  something more so to ourselves than anybody else.
• 15:25
  That who we are, who we're ready to take responsibility and
• 15:28
  accountability for showing up as the person who is going to carry
• 15:34
  out this new plot line of the future we're moving into.
• 15:38
  You get to prove yourself. And this test, it's not a test
• 15:41
  that has to do with any outside credentialing or proving
• 15:46
  yourself to somebody else. This is about proving yourself
• 15:49
  to yourself. This is about saying, oh, let me
• 15:52
  reintroduce myself. This is the version of me that
• 15:56
  I'm going to prove, not just a Saturn, I'm going to prove it to
• 16:00
  the Mars that went through the square, to all of the things
• 16:03
  that Mercury retrograde went through.
• 16:04
  I'm ready to show up. I'm ready to sacrifice the
• 16:07
  bullshit shit, the immature excuses, the baiting into old
• 16:12
  dynamics or old patterns. This is ready to let something
• 16:16
  go, let an old version of ourselves go, to let our
• 16:20
  integrity speak for itself. This is like a moment where
• 16:24
  there's a total redemption arc where the sun shows up and it's
• 16:29
  like, I'm not going to tell you what I went through.
• 16:32
  I'm not going to tell you what I learned and what I recovered.
• 16:35
  I'm not going to tell you the shadow work that I did.
• 16:38
  I'm not going to tell you the big decisions or the
• 16:41
  reprioritization process that I went through.
• 16:44
  I'm going to show you through the way that I show up.
• 16:48
  Not going to talk about it. I'm going to be about it.
• 16:51
  And really this is the final moment for you to say I'm not
• 16:54
  just crossing this threshold of this lunar cycle.
• 16:58
  I'm crossing this threshold of stepping into the version of
• 17:01
  myself that's going to take me through the end of this 2025 and
• 17:06
  into 2026, where from here going forward, nothing will be the
• 17:11
  same. All of those outer planet
• 17:13
  changes, all of the big astrology that's to come, this
• 17:16
  sun square Saturn, this is your chance to show up and prove to
• 17:21
  yourself, show some self respect through what you do and who you
• 17:25
  are. I feel like this is also a
• 17:27
  moment of potential grief that's going to show up where you
• 17:31
  really recognize the parts of you that are being released that
• 17:35
  you're putting to rest, that you're letting go in order to
• 17:39
  step into the coherence of the new plot lines, of the future,
• 17:42
  of the priorities of where you're going.
• 17:45
  And sometimes there's a sacrifice of silence when it
• 17:48
  comes to integrity because in order to earn true self respect,
• 17:52
  true self trust, it has to come from a place where it's done for
• 17:57
  nobody else other than ourselves.
• 17:59
  So maybe it's a boundary that needs to be set, it's a
• 18:03
  responsibility that needs to be accounted for, or maybe an
• 18:07
  obligation that needs to be put down and let go.
• 18:10
  The square is asking you, please do what's hard, not what's easy.
• 18:15
  Please, for God's sake, don't do what's familiar and know that
• 18:20
  what's hard now, what's uncomfortable now, It's going to
• 18:23
  get so much easier and it's going to fortify and it's going
• 18:27
  to strengthen and deepen a future confidence that will
• 18:32
  guide you and give you so much more strength and momentum as
• 18:36
  you move into the challenges or the dramatic astrology of 2026.
• 18:40
  It's a level up in the way that you choose to show up.
• 18:44
  And don't forget one final note, because it's Sun Saturn and
• 18:46
  we're talking about Saturn. Saturn is a planet of choice, of
• 18:49
  true consequence and reward, long term consequence and
• 18:54
  reward. So what might feel hard in the
• 18:56
  short term and the end of this lunar cycle?
• 18:58
  Know and trust that your choices matter and you are the one who
• 19:03
  is going to reap the consequences, Good, bad, your
• 19:07
  choice, This is your choice. So what choices are you making?
• 19:11
  What actions are you taking? What responsibilities are you
• 19:15
  accounting for? What ways are you proving to
• 19:19
  yourself above anybody else that you are the one that's ready for
• 19:24
  everything that you're calling in and everything that you're
• 19:26
  moving towards? And if self doubt shows up, just
• 19:29
  a reminder, that's a Saturn test and it's usually a really good
• 19:33
  signal. It's a good green light that
• 19:35
  you're moving in the right direction, that you're
• 19:38
  overcoming those self-imposed limitations or previous
• 19:41
  limitations that were real. That's how you know that you are
• 19:45
  stepping into something new. You're stepping into a new level
• 19:49
  of growth and you're doing so with purpose.
• 19:53
  That's how we're going to end this week and end this episode.
• 19:55
  And while I don't love that we end the episode or the cycle
• 19:59
  with a Sun square Saturn, it is what it is.
• 20:02
  And I kind of love that because it gives us so much to open
• 20:06
  into. As we go into that Sagittarius
• 20:08
  New moon and the next lunar cycle, there's so much powerful
• 20:12
  astrology that's going to be happening with the Capricorn
• 20:14
  activations and the opposition's to Jupiter and Cancer.
• 20:18
  January 2026 is lit when it comes to creating.
• 20:22
  Real progress, getting plans in real motion and starting to make
• 20:26
  something real out of all of the work that we've been doing up
• 20:30
  until this point. So if you are somebody who is
• 20:32
  totally over the depths, the dark, the slowing down that the
• 20:37
  Scorpio New Moon cycle has been about, know that as we close
• 20:41
  this cycle and we move and turn towards the Sagittarius New
• 20:45
  Moon, all of that is going to change.
• 20:47
  The energy is going to change, the astrology is going to
• 20:49
  change, and we're not going to have as much time to rest.
• 20:52
  So take this final week, this final lunar phase to let go, to
• 20:57
  refine, to bring things to a close, to grow up and to show up
• 21:01
  so that you're ready to receive the most and also to be
• 21:05
  available to put the most into action into the world as we
• 21:09
  enter into that Sagittarius New Moon.
