Episode 263

In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

The astrology of the week of December 29th, 2025, wants us to feel deeply and think critically. Mercury, the messenger planet, moves into practical Capricorn, asking us to assess our goals and the resources we need to achieve them. And the Full Moon in Cancer stirs up emotions around home, family, and belonging. Let’s use this time to reflect on how we’ve grown over the past year, connect with our communities, and work toward systems of collective care as we move into 2026.

This episode covers:

• Mercury’s square to Saturn on Monday, December 29th

• Mercury’s square to Neptune on Friday, January 1st

• Mercury’s entrance into Capricorn on Friday, January 1st

• The end of Chiron’s retrograde on Saturday, January 2nd

• The Full Moon in Cancer on Sunday, January 3rd

Episode 262

In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

The astrology of the week of December 22nd, 2025, brings two very different energies to our relationships. Venus (the planet of connection) squares off with delulu Neptune, urging us to rest, play, and let our guard down around our loved ones. But it also moves into no-nonsense Capricorn, where romance means commitment and planning ahead. Feel free to goof off with the people you care about — just remind them that you’re serious about loving them too.

This episode covers:

• Venus’ square to Neptune on Tuesday, December 23rd

• Venus’ entrance into Capricorn on Wednesday, December 24th
