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 26th, 2022, asks us to pace ourselves. On Wednesday, Venus (the planet of love and connection) sextiles Neptune (the planet of dreams and illusion), offering a cute moment of escape. On Thursday, Mercury stations retrograde in Capricorn, prompting us to turn inward to edit, sort, and review the structures in our lives. Later that same day, Mercury conjoins Venus and peels back the layers of our hearts’ desires, as well as our intimacy issues. Then on Saturday, Venus conjoins Pluto (the planet of transformation), illuminating the work that needs to be done in our relationships. So go slow, pause where you can, and close out the year in reflection.

| 0:24.1 | They're obviously necessary. |
| 0:26.3 | They're obviously not the biggest deal in the astrological world because they're so common. |
| 0:33.3 | But as I've grown older, not necessarily wiser, but just had more time to observe things, |
| 0:41.6 | I got to say that every Mercury retrograde feels like it is such a profound ass kicking for me. |
| 0:53.9 | And maybe I'm just in a moment, |
| 0:56.2 | but I have a much deeper respect for this transit than I ever did. |
| 1:02.2 | Just because it's common doesn't mean it's not incredibly powerful and potent and worthy of my respect, maybe yours. |

| 1:55.6 | I will say, though, this Mercury Retrograde looks like it's going to give us some really innovative |
| 2:03.9 | tips and tricks to deal with the things that break down. You know, Mercury Retrograde |
| 2:10.5 | loves to be like, hey, this is about to break. You might want to, oh, too late, it's broken. And then you're like, |
