General overview
The solstice is traditionally a moment of looking back and of new beginnings. For Libra this may mean thinking about who you have been this year in relationships and at work. Where have you acted honestly, and where have you adjusted too much? These questions need not be heavy. They help you find a clear line for the next season, without needing to condemn yourself for what you did not do.
Think of a family that holds the same Christmas dinner every year, in which one person always takes on the preparation. This week Libra can suggest planning the dinner together, with a clear division and room for new ideas. In this way a tradition arises that not only continues, but is also fair to everyone who takes part.
Love and connection
For partners, the full Moon in Cancer may bring a moment of warmth and closeness. Cancer stands for feeling, home and caring for one another. Plan an evening on which you look back on the year together. Tell each other which moment you value most and which agreement you would like to revisit in the new year. That makes the relationship not only warmer, but also clearer about what you wish to build together.
For single people, this week may evoke feelings of loneliness or, conversely, of freedom. Both are normal. Try to fill the evenings with people who give you energy, or take time for yourself without guilt. If you wish to invite someone for a Christmas walk or a cup of hot chocolate, do so with an open attitude. It need not be anything grand to feel connection.
Work and collaboration
At work this week often coincides with a quieter period. Many people have holiday days or fewer meetings. Use that stillness to honestly look back on this year's collaboration. What worked well, what could be better, and which agreements do you want to carry forward? A short evaluation with a colleague can clarify a great deal. In this way the new year is entered with an open outlook, without old resentment going along.
For those studying or looking for work, this week may be a moment to formulate goals for January. Choose one skill you want to strengthen, such as presenting or writing, and look for a small exercise you can do each week. In this way progress remains achievable. A conversation with a mentor or a friend who works in the field can also offer valuable insights.
Wellbeing and rhythm
For wellbeing, this week suits a calm rhythm with room for conviviality. The festive days may be accompanied by a lot of eating and drinking, and that makes it especially important to plan in moments of movement and stillness too. A morning walk, a warm bath or a moment of breathing before sleep can help you relax properly. These are ordinary habits that suit you.
Pay attention to your sleep, especially when you go out a lot or stay up late. Try to get up at fixed times, including at weekends. A short break from screens before bed can improve the quality of your rest. When you notice that you are often very tired or experience mood swings, it is sensible to contact an expert. This article offers no medical advice, but invites caring behaviour towards yourself.
The Moon this week
The full Moon of 24 December in Cancer coincides with a period of warmth and home. For Libra this may mean appreciating the relationships closest to you all the more. Use the moment to consider who you wish to thank for their support, and to whom you may still owe an honest word. A handwritten card or a short conversation can mean a great deal.
On 25 December the Moon is in Leo, and on 26 December in Virgo. After that it passes through Libra and Scorpio towards the final days of the year. The rhythm of the Moon gradually becomes calmer. This is a good moment to conclude agreements gently and cautiously formulate plans for January. Let the week end with a sentence you wish to carry into the coming year.
