Dear friends,
This week carries the feeling of a train easing into its final platform - not with drama, but with a deep, unmistakable sense of approach. The long journey hasn’t ended yet, but its direction has locked in. Momentum is slowing, the noise is dropping, and you can feel the ground drawing closer beneath the wheels.
There’s a quiet awareness in the air that things are about to land. Conversations, pressures, and unresolved threads feel nearer to consequence, nearer to form. Nothing explodes, but nothing drifts either. The system is beginning to feel the edges of what it can no longer outrun.
What makes this week different is that it marks the first emotional threshold of 2026. The Cancer Full Moon at week’s end acts like the platform lights coming into view, illuminating questions of safety, belonging, care, and what we’re actually carrying forward (and what we need to set down). It doesn’t demand action yet; it asks for recognition.
There’s a shared sense of anticipation now. Not excitement exactly, but readiness. A feeling that years of motion, noise, and improvisation are giving way to something more deliberate. People are instinctively taking stock, orienting themselves, deciding what stays in their hands as the doors prepare to open.
If 2026 is the long-awaited station, then this week is the slow glide into it. The brakes hum, the lights are on, the movement hasn’t stopped, but its destination is no longer in doubt.
Below, I’ll walk the Inner Circle through how this final week of 2025 unfolds day by day - for the world, the United States, and for you personally - and how to move through this threshold with clarity and steadiness.
I’ll also look ahead to four key transits unfolding in the first half of 2026: rare alignments we have never witnessed before in our lifetimes, and will not see again. Together, they mark a turning of the wheel that’s been a long time coming.
The year ahead carries the quality of a return. Not punishment or catastrophe, but consequence - like a boomerang completing its long arc and finally finding its way home. What has been set in motion over decades, even centuries, begins to arrive back in tangible form as choices mature, patterns resolve and threads return to their source. We’ll unpack what that means across the board, but in particular how it lands for the U.S., Russia, China and Israel and leaders like Trump, Netanyahu and Putin. (Newsflash: big, uncomfortable change is ahead for them all.)
2026 isn’t just another chapter; it’s a threshold year. One that gathers long-running currents and brings them into contact with lived reality. The months ahead hold both endings and beginnings - closures that clear space, and openings that could not exist before now.
What lies ahead won’t resemble what came before. We are standing at the edge of a rare moment in time, where history bends inward, consequence meets consciousness, and the next era quietly steps into view, and this week - this quiet, anticipatory stretch - is where the train finally begins to pull in.
Let’s step forward together, and see what’s waiting on the platform….
