Overview

The speaker records a live commentary on December 20 2025, focusing on the new moon in Sagittarius at 1:43 a.m. UK time.
Emphasis is placed on the rare astrological pattern of seven consecutive new moons occurring at 28° of successive signs.

Astronomical Details

New moon occurs at 28° 24' Sagittarius.
Previous three new moons: 28° Virgo, 28° Libra, 28° Scorpio.
Upcoming three new moons: 28° Capricorn, 28° Aquarius, 28° Aries.
This creates an unprecedented series of seven new moons at the same degree.

Astrological Aspects

The December 20 new moon squares both Saturn and Neptune, making it a challenging aspect.
It is the penultimate new moon before:
Neptune exits Pisces (moves into Aries around Jan 26, 2026) – its last stay in Pisces for the current generation.
Saturn enters Aries around Feb 14, 2026.
The square to Saturn and Neptune is linked to fatigue, lethargy, confusion, and extremism.
The next new moon (≈4 weeks later) at 28° Capricorn will sextile Saturn and Neptune, offering a more positive shift.

Global Events and Social Climate

The speaker references several polarizing world events:
Murder of an American film director and his wife, alleged involvement of his son, and political commentary from the U.S. president.
Misleading media narratives in Australia about the identity of a hero who stopped further violence.
Ongoing conflicts in Gaza, Israel, Ukraine, and Russia.
Observes a widening divide in societies, moving from class to racism to political left‑right polarization.

Planetary Concentrations and Future Trends

Recent planetary movements:
Mars entered Capricorn.
Venus will enter Capricorn within a week.
Mercury follows into Capricorn by month‑end.
From mid‑January to early June, most planets (except the Moon) will occupy a single half of the sky, creating a dense concentration of energy.
Anticipated configurations:
Four planets in Capricorn, then five in Aquarius, three in Aquarius with four in Pisces, and finally seven planets in Aries – a historically unprecedented clustering.
The speaker interprets this tightening as a buildup that will culminate in a rapid upward acceleration after a period of “rock bottom.”

Personal Reflections and Call to Action

The new moon in Sagittarius (sign of truth, philosophy, and big‑picture wisdom) is described as a "portal" – a fleeting opening for new perspectives.
Despite global turmoil, the speaker urges optimism, stating the new moon marks the start of a "reenlightenment" and the biggest upgrade in human history.
Encourages listeners to set positive intentions at the exact moment of the new moon (1:43 a.m. UK time) and to embrace intuition, synchronicities, and collective growth.

Practical Takeaways

Acknowledge the fatigue and confusion caused by the Saturn‑Neptune square.
Use the upcoming sextile new moon (28° Capricorn) for more constructive energy.
Align personal intentions with the hopeful themes of Sagittarius during the new moon.
Stay aware of the broader planetary tightening and its potential for rapid change later in the year.

The December 20 new moon in Sagittarius, marked by a rare 28° alignment and a challenging square to Saturn and Neptune, signals both a period of collective fatigue and the cusp of a profound planetary shift; by setting positive intentions now, we can harness its hopeful Sagittarius energy to navigate upcoming turbulence and participate in a transformative upgrade for humanity.

Hey, it's 1000 p.m. on the 15th of
December, 2025, and uh this is my look
at the coming new moon. The new moon in
Sagittarius is going to be on Saturday
the 20th of December,
and it's going to be taking place at
1:43 a.m. UK time. So, make adjustments
for wherever you are in the world on
that one. 1:43 a.m. UK time on the 20th
of December. Now, this is taking place
at 28° 24 minutes of Sagittarius.
The last three new moons have been at
28°. 28 Virgo, 28 Libra, 28 Scorpio.
I'm going to sneeze. Excuse me.
Sorry about that. Right. Um, the next
three new moons are going to be at 28°.
28 Capricorn, 28 Aquarius, and then 28
Aries.
So that's seven new moons in a row at
28°.
Unheard of. We're right in the middle of
this pattern. Now,
this new moon is going to be strongly
squaring both Saturn
and Neptune. This is the penultimate new
moon before Neptune leaves Pisces for
the last time in the life of anybody
who's alive today. When Neptune moves
into
Aries around January the 26th time,
that's it. It won't be coming back into
Pisces for another 150 years.
Saturn will be moving into Aries around
February the 14th. So, there's two more
new moons to go.
Uh maybe just the one. Maybe just one.
So this is the penultimate
new moon for both for both Saturn and
Neptune in Pisces and this new moon is
squaring them both. Now the new moon
squares Saturn. Yeah. Okay.
It's difficult.
Um a lot of people in the last week have
been founding themselves feeling much
more lethargic.
It'd be easy to put it down to fatigue,
weariness, tiredness.
In the northern hemisphere, it's the
dark of the year. It's dark at 4:00 p.m.
It's not light till 8 8:00 a.m. You
know, it's it's 15 16 hours dark at the
moment.
And of course, we're only a few days
from summer solstice. Uh winter
solstice, what am I saying? summer
solstice in the southern hemisphere. Of
course, in the southern hemisphere at
the moment, they've got about 15 16
hours light.
There's a number of things going on in
the world at the moment
that are
really polarizing
things.
There's the slaughter of an American
film director and his wife, probably by
his son,
and the American president has come out
and said that
he was killed because of anger, because
of TDS.
This same film director was very humble
when Charlie Kirk died and he said, "No,
this is horrific. This is a slaughter.
This is really badly wrong. So there's
no grace. There's no elegance here. This
is just backbiting, sniping, and revenge
politics on behalf of the current
American president. Although, of course,
many of you will choose to disagree. I'd
like to see how you're going to defend
this, but of course, in many people's
eyes, I have TDS.
In Australia, I find it surreal that
there are fake websites claiming that
the people the person who stopped a lot
of the slaughter of a couple of days ago
was a white Australian man when in fact
it was a Muslim man resident in
Australia who actually stopped one of
the murderers from doing anything worse.
But of course, many people don't want to
hear that because it doesn't fit their
narrative.
It seems all over the world the gulf
between people has got stronger and
stronger.
It used to be the class system
and then it became
racism
and now it's politics left and right.
the divide between people. And yet here
we are on a new moon in Sagittarius, the
sign of truth, belief, philosophy, the
big picture, the wisdom that lies behind
words. Now, I've gone on record of
saying that when I first looked at this
new moon a few weeks ago,
the word portal hammered itself into my
head. Now, I don't mean portal as in a
doorway or an opening.
It's more like something that's just
sort of we're coming in. It's coming
into the viewfinder and it's going to be
there for a time but not for long.
I also think it's a bit time of a seed.
You know, think this new moon is
conjunct galactic center.
What do I mean by that? I mean that the
sun and the moon in the sky at the
moment of new moon or in the degree of
the zodiac that is aligning with the
center of our galaxy.
Some people may assume that this puts us
into a much more open discourse with
energies emanating from the center of
our galaxy.
Possible.
Can't prove it.
Samsung can't prove that um Freeey Atlas
is anything more than a lump of rock,
but I'm pretty sure it is. And that come
from the center of our galaxy as well.
I find it I'm beused
by the fact that people just want to
make sensation and drama out of
everything.
It doesn't help that the new moon of
three months ago and and the new moon of
a couple of days time strongly opposite
and square Neptune
and Neptune's entering it's already in
the final final degree of the of the
zodiac 29 and a half degrees of Pisces.
It's
it's the end of a 164 165 year cycle
where
truth and lie have just become subsumed.
They've been absorbed.
Where there's one planet but eight
different billion worlds,
everyone has their own version of events
and philosophies. Everyone has their own
narrative. There is no sign of
consensus.
And it's going to take something
quite dramatic
to create a consensus now.
And yet,
here am I, as your friendly astrologer,
suggesting something quite dramatic is
on the cards. Not so much on this new
moon.
This new moon squaring Saturn and
Neptune is a difficult one. It's
creating a lot of tiredness and fatigue
and lethargy. It's creating a lot of
confusion, a lot of derangement,
a lot of extremism.
The next new moon in four weeks time
will be at 28 degrees Capricorn, sexile
Saturn and sexile Neptune.
And that will be the last new moon
before Saturn and Neptune move into a
new sign.
Now that is going to be a much more
positive event. Much more.
But it's not only the new moon. Okay.
So, so new moons at Sagittarius in the
end of Sagittarius. Mars has just moved
into Capricorn.
Venus is going to move into Capricorn in
about six or seven days time. Mercury
will move into Capricorn by end of the
month, something like that.
The planets are getting closer and
closer together, slowly but slowly. I
think it's from about the um I think
it's from about the second week of
January
through to early June if I remember
rightly where all of the planets in the
sky except the moon two weeks of a month
will be within 180 degrees of each
other. Everything's going to be in one
half of the sky
including the moon two weeks out of
four.
So, there's this big concentration of
planetary energy and it's getting more
and more intense.
At the moment, we've just had Mars move
out of Sagittarius in the last 24 hours,
but um there was four planets in Sag.
Then there's going to be four planets in
Capricorn in a couple of weeks time. And
then there'll be four or even five
planets in Aquarius.
Then there'll be a time where there'll
be um three planets in Aquarius and four
planets in Pisces.
Then
there'll be seven planets in Aries,
something that has never happened
before. Everything is getting tighter in
on itself. And whenever I've seen
anything like this happen before, it
suggests that the acceleration
grows.
Normally, I'd be quite worried about
that because I would be thinking, "Oh my
god, it's going to get more and more
crazy, more and more hectic, more and
more unpredictable,
but we're past the point of that.
It's almost like this is the last deep
headirst dive
because you can't go to the top until
you get to the bottom." And this time
we're heading down into rock bottom.
By the time we're two months down the
line, we're going to be accelerating
back up rapidly.
Three months down the line,
four months down the line. Wow.
Wow.
Completely uncharted territory.
The time
of the dinosaurs
is coming to an end.
And I honestly believe that we will look
back and go, "Yeah, that new moon just
before winter solstice in the northern
hemisphere,
that was the start of it."
Because despite
all of the angst and all of the fear,
this is a new moon in Sagittarius. There
is cause for hope and optimism. And I'm
not just having woolly minded thinking
here.
I'm sticking me neck out on this one,
but someone's got to do it. And I've got
thick skin, so it might as well be me. I
can truly
say that this is the start. Well, it's
the start of a new year. I mean, my new
year
starts at solstice.
Monday morning, dawn, sunrise. I'll be
in a particular spot welcoming the first
sunrise of my new year. From then on,
the days start getting longer.
It'd be easy to hide under the bed,
to get caught up in inconsequential
things and pretend that the world isn't
going crazy, that there's not mass
slaughter
on American streets or Australian
streets or in Gaza and Israel or Ukraine
and Russia.
It'd be easy to pretend that our
politicians are in control
and that the economies are stable
and that the bankers know what they're
doing.
This is the time of the reenlightenment.
Ah, I said something the other day that
just fell out of my mouth.
We are the people we've been waiting for
all our lives. It was something along
those lines.
We deserve each other and we deserve to
be better than what we are.
Like attracts like.
There's more and more people telling me
that they're becoming more intuitive.
borderline psychic, more sensitive, more
receptive. There's more and more
synchronicities, more synergy happening,
more serendipity. More and more people
are going, "Yeah, I've just thought of
something." Oh, so have I. Oh, it's
exactly the same thing. Oh, isn't that
weird? It's happening.
This is it. This is the start.
It'd be easy to panic. It' be easy to
think, "Oh my god, we're all going mad."
No, we're not.
This is the start of the biggest upgrade
in human history.
Dance with it.
It all starts with a thought
and it's new moon in a few days time.
Couple of days time. So put the right
energy out there folks.
Saturday morning 1:43 a.m. UK time.
What harm does it do to go into this in
a really positive mindset?
If I'm kidding myself, at least I'm
happy.
Take care. Catch you soon. Bye now.
