As we move into the second week of December 2025, a significant astrological shift promises to sprinkle some enchantment over our daily lives. Neptune ends its retrograde and turns direct, opening a channel for ideas and dreams that have been locked in our hearts and imaginations to finally find expression.
Neptune's Direct Motion: A Time for Magic
This planetary shift, occurring in the week of December 8 to December 14, acts as an invitation to embrace the mystical. The long, dark nights of winter provide the perfect backdrop for this energy. It's a time to consider how you can infuse your routine with a sense of wonder, whether through festive decorations, creative projects, or simply allowing yourself to dream.
Esteemed tarot reader Kerry King, with three decades of experience, suggests this is a powerful moment to let your inner child guide you towards joy and nostalgia. The tarot cards drawn for each zodiac sign offer specific guidance on how to navigate this uniquely magical week.
Your Zodiac Sign's Weekly Tarot Card
Here is what the cards reveal for your star sign for the upcoming week.
Aries to Gemini
For Aries (March 21-April 20), The Emperor card appears. This signifies a powerful, authoritative energy, suggesting you now have the autonomy and resources to gift your inner child the festive experiences you once longed for.
Taurus (April 21-May 21) finds the Page of Wands. This card calls you to let your inner child lead, encouraging you to revisit old hobbies, haunts, and friendships to rediscover what still sparks joy.
Gemini (May 22-June 21) receives the Ace of Cups. After a year of navigating difficult relationship truths, this card heralds new connections, friendships, and potential romance, with true allies making themselves known.
Cancer to Virgo
Cancer (June 22-July 23) draws the Three of Cups. Neptune's direct turn fills you with marvellous ideas for festive fun, urging you to design a season of merrymaking around your unique desires.
For Leo (July 24-August 23), the Seven of Swords appears. Neptune helps dispel an illusion about someone, revealing their true nature. Proactive action to set boundaries is recommended, perhaps aided by a protective ritual.
Virgo (August 24-September 23) gets the Knight of Cups. This card encourages you to bring a powerful vision of love and adoration from your heart into reality, making romance a priority this week.
Libra to Sagittarius
Libra (September 24-October 23) is guided by the Queen of Swords. The deep introspection of Neptune's retrograde has clarified your ambitions, and now a driven, almost ruthless energy will help you pursue your true motivations.
Scorpio (October 24-November 22) sees the Three of Swords. Your innate understanding of hidden truths will lead you to bring light to secrets or shadowy interactions. While it may be painful, taking action is necessary for change.
Sagittarius (November 23-December 21) draws the Three of Wands. Neptune will communicate with you through signs in the physical world—feathers, dreams, numbers. Pay close attention to the messages meant for you.
Capricorn to Pisces
Capricorn (December 22-January 21) receives the Ace of Wands. A significant, game-changing idea is arriving, related to purpose, career, or a bucket-list goal. It's time to start planning and investing in this new beginning.
For Aquarius (January 22-February 19), the Five of Swords appears. Your quiet observation has granted you new insight into the unseen dynamics between people. The week calls for you to decide what to do with this understanding.
Pisces (February 20-March 20), ruled by Neptune, draws the Two of Swords. The direct motion of your planetary ruler brings clarity and confidence. Trust your self-belief to make a bold, important decision that you know is right for you.
Embracing the Festive Energy
This week's cosmic climate, spearheaded by Neptune's shift, provides a unique opportunity to blend the practical with the magical. Whether it's honouring childhood dreams, forging new bonds, or pursuing a long-held vision, the tarot encourages proactive steps infused with imagination.
