Summary
Episode 261
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 15th, 2025, closes out old cycles and kick-starts new ones. The New Moon in Sagittarius asks us to reflect on what we’ve achieved this year, both personally and collectively. And the Solstice calls us to block out the noise for a minute. It might feel like you’re up against the clock as 2026 approaches. But now is actually the time to slow down. When you stop to think, you clear space for what’s coming.
This episode covers:
The Sun’s square to Saturn on Tuesday, December 16th
The New Moon in Sagittarius on Friday, December 19th
The Sun’s square to Neptune on Saturday, December 20th
Venus’ square to Saturn on Saturday, December 20th
The Solstice and the Sun’s entrance into Capricorn on Sunday, December 21st

| 0:02.1 | One, we are closing it down. |
| 0:05.5 | You don't have to go home, but you cannot stay here. |
| 0:10.4 | Number two, we are going to be honoring the dark. |
| 0:15.1 | We are going to be honoring the creative spaces that leave us a little bit unsure of what to do next, but that also |
| 0:25.6 | give us a tremendous amount of space. Three, we are going to use this week to get very |

| 1:50.6 | And as always, sets of the cutest stickers you've ever seen in your life. They are the collages |
| 1:57.4 | from the Chani app. You get to work with them in your little Astro Planner. |
| 2:01.8 | My favorite is also the monthly pages because you can just get to understand like what is |
| 2:07.4 | going on for the month week to week day to day, all at the same time. And I extra, extra love |
