| 0:00.0 | Hi, the following episode of the astrology of the week ahead was taped before I knew the election |
| 0:08.2 | results in the United States of America. So if things sound aggressively positive, given the |
| 0:15.7 | situation, that's why. I needed to get ahead of the game so that our team could go on winter break and |
| 0:24.0 | things could happen in an orderly fashion. And this is what happens sometimes. So I hope that |
| 0:30.4 | the astrology still lands in a really helpful way. I just don't want you to ever think that I don't take an incoming fascist leader seriously. |
| 0:45.2 | I take the situation that we're in exceptionally seriously. I think it's going to require all of us |
| 0:50.9 | to do everything we can in every single moment that we can do it. And I'm here with you. |
| 0:59.3 | We are in community together and I just didn't want to have you thinking like, wow, is this so |
| 1:06.3 | spiritually bypassy and has Chani totally lost the plot? I haven't. I'm with you. And in the new year, |

| 1:29.0 | into. I hope you enjoy the episode. Hello and welcome. This is the astrology of the week |
| 1:35.9 | ahead podcast. I'm your host and your Astro Bestie Channy Nicholas. Look, this week starts out |
| 1:43.4 | with a new moon in Capricorn. Just as the year is ending, |
| 1:50.4 | just as the next year is beginning, just after the solstice. We have a cute, productive, |
| 1:57.9 | little self-starting new moon in Capricorn. This new moon is not blessed by |
| 2:07.0 | Venus and Jupiter, but it is sitting in relationship with its ruler, Saturn. And that means that it is |
| 2:17.0 | exceptionally constructive. So I really like this as like a functional |
| 2:23.9 | remedy to how we close out a year and begin a new one, how we close out one season, |
| 2:31.4 | and begin a new one, how we think about what we're going to do |
| 2:36.8 | to organize ourselves for the next year. When we're thinking about what we got out of last |
| 2:45.6 | year, this new moon, I think, is going to be really helpful. Because this new moon is a good excuse to be like, |
