Summary
Episode 263
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 29th, 2025, wants us to feel deeply and think critically. Mercury, the messenger planet, moves into practical Capricorn, asking us to assess our goals and the resources we need to achieve them. And the Full Moon in Cancer stirs up emotions around home, family, and belonging. Let’s use this time to reflect on how we’ve grown over the past year, connect with our communities, and work toward systems of collective care as we move into 2026.
This episode covers:
Mercury’s square to Saturn on Monday, December 29th
Mercury’s square to Neptune on Friday, January 1st
Mercury’s entrance into Capricorn on Friday, January 1st
The end of Chiron’s retrograde on Saturday, January 2nd
The Full Moon in Cancer on Sunday, January 3rd

| 0:49.1 | And it's going to be another wild year as far as the astrology tells me it's going to be. |
| 0:57.2 | Hey, Astrobasty, good news. We have made our year ahead content four times more detailed, |
| 1:05.5 | richer, more in depth. It's really like four times the readings. You have four astrological horoscopes for the |

| 1:29.4 | astrology month by month. It is a wild year and we're going to make the most of it |
| 1:35.3 | understanding when to go, when to hold them, when to fold them. You get the idea. There's also a |
| 1:40.8 | bonus year at a glance reading. I cannot wait for you to dive in. Head to the Chani |
| 1:47.8 | app now and go to the Your Year tab. I'll see you over there. Look, the most important thing |
