Summary
Episode 156
In this podcast, New York Times bestselling 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 11th, 2023, features an imaginative New Moon in Sagittarius. On Monday, Mercury (the planet of communication) sextiles Venus (the planet of love), helping us to communicate in affirming ways that solidify our bonds. On Tuesday, there’s a New Moon in Sagittarius square Neptune (the planet of illusions), prompting us to daydream about our highest ideals. Also on Tuesday, Mercury stations retrograde, triggering the usual snafus and miscommunications — but with a supportive twist since it is happening between Venus and Jupiter. On Saturday, the Sun squares Neptune, encouraging us to take a sweet and adventurous escape. Use this time to reflect on the past year and ease into the last few weeks of 2023.

| 0:00.0 | Okay, yeah, it's the end of the year. |
| 0:02.8 | It's definitely time to reflect about what worked this year, what did not work, what needs to be |
| 0:11.7 | composted, what needs to be highlighted, and what needs to be prioritized for the next go-round. |
| 0:20.7 | And we're helped out this week with this reflection process, given the fact that, yes, it's time for another Mercury retrograde. In this podcast, we look at the astrology of the upcoming week and how it will be |

| 1:41.6 | host, Chani Nicholas. And in this week's edition, we are talking about |

| 2:05.8 | time, or at least there's less busyness for us to tend to in at least one area of our life, |
| 2:14.6 | maybe a couple. But sometimes this is also like the mad dash to the end, |
| 2:21.2 | and there's also just too much to do. So if you're in the middle of preparing things, of |

| 2:36.5 | couple weeks of this year, Mercury's retrograde might mess some things up for you. However, |
