Summary
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
