Summary
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 12th, 2022, functions as a bit of a reset. On Monday, the Sun sextiles Saturn (the planet of discipline and structure), helping us take practical steps toward realizing our dreams. On Tuesday, Mercury (the planet of communication) enters its pre-retrograde shadow — a subtle precursor to a review that will take place in Capricorn later this month. On Wednesday, the Sun squares Neptune (the planet of illusion), fueling our imagination, dreams, and desire to escape. Then on Saturday, Mercury trines Uranus (the planet of innovation) and prompts inspired conversations and out-of-the-box thinking. And that’s all. It’s kind of like a free period. Enjoy.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome. |
| 0:11.2 | This is the astrology of the week ahead podcast, and I'm your host, Chani Nicholas. |
| 0:29.1 | In this podcast, we look at the astrology of the upcoming week and how it will be landing for all of us collectively for a more personalized reading that dives into the ways that this week's astrology will play out for you |
| 0:35.1 | download the chani app for iPhone. All right, y'all, |
| 0:43.4 | this week is a little bit of an astrological recess. It might even feel like a little bit of a reset. |
| 0:53.0 | We had a pretty intense full moon last week. And now we're on the |
| 0:58.3 | come down. We're in the last little bit of Sagittarius season. And there's not a ton going on |
| 1:06.0 | this week, which is lovely. It's good to have astrologically boring moments. The main things that are occurring |
| 1:14.7 | this week are on Monday, December 12th, there is a sex style between the sun and Saturn, which can be |
| 1:23.0 | really good for goal setting and for getting a clear plan of action. The Sun in Sagittarius is very |
| 1:32.4 | energetic and loves to try to find the latest and greatest adventure to go on. And in a sexile |
| 1:40.3 | to Saturn, this can be a really good time to, again, find practical ways to make our |
| 1:47.9 | wildest adventure dreams come true. And but also on Wednesday, the sun will make a square to Neptune. |
| 1:57.8 | Now, if we don't have anything to get done, if we're not trying to get anywhere specific, |
| 2:04.3 | if we're not trying to be really exacting in whatever it is we're doing, this astrology is |
| 2:11.6 | fine. It's like very dreamy. It's really good astrology to get lost to. It's great astrology to wander around |
| 2:21.9 | with. It is really good for imagining and dreaming and escaping. You know, Sagittarius loves to |
| 2:30.5 | adventure out and Neptune loves to be in the great dream. It might feel a little bit |
| 2:38.0 | like a Mercury retrograde because Neptune likes to erode the boundaries of reality and things, again, |
| 2:44.9 | feel hard to find a linear way through. But as long as you don't need to, you're good. And then on Saturday, |
| 2:53.9 | December 17th, we have one other little astrological setup, which is Mercury-Trine Uranus. This can be |
| 3:01.7 | really helpful for inspiring conversations and thinking outside of the box and being really experimental with |
