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 January 9th, 2023, marks a pivotal turning point for us all. On Monday, Venus (the planet of love) trines Mars (the planet of action) and gives our relationships a much-needed boost. On Thursday, Mars stations direct, marking the end of a challenging chapter and encouraging us to reflect on all that we’ve learned over the past few months. On Friday, the Sun sextiles Neptune (the planet of illusion and dreams) and ushers in a lovely moment for escapism. Then on Saturday, Venus makes a square to Uranus, which encourages us to innovate our ways of working in relationship. Above all, remember to take things slow and keep your wits about you — starting a new chapter is never simple.

| 0:00.0 | We all know it's not about whether we win or lose, but it is about how we play the game. |
| 0:08.6 | And it's always nice to know when the game is coming to a close. |
| 0:14.4 | This week, Mars finally stations direct and we get to enjoy this pivotal moment because it means that a major chapter is coming to a close |
| 0:32.4 | and we get to now integrate that information put put it all together, and start to plan and plot how we're going to move forward. |
| 0:50.2 | Hello and welcome. |
| 0:52.5 | This is the Astrology of the Week Ahead podcast, and I am your host, Channy Nicholas. |
| 1:04.8 | In this podcast, we look at the astrology of the upcoming week and how it will be landing for all of us collectively. |
| 1:12.6 | For a more personalized reading that dives into the ways that this week's astrology will play out for you, |

| 1:26.6 | All right, y'all, we talked a lot about starting slowly this year because Mars isn't |
| 1:34.8 | stationing direct until Thursday, January 12th, and Mercury is still retrograde. It will be |
| 1:42.8 | retrograde until next week. Wednesday, the 18th, is the day that Mercury stations direct. So, while this week marks the end of a chapter for us, we know that as planets station, as they pivot, as they start to go forward, they're also |
| 2:03.3 | like moving slowly and pulling focus. |
| 2:06.5 | So it's the closing of Mars retrograde. |
| 2:10.4 | We still have to wait another week until Mercury stations direct. |
| 2:15.2 | And this is also the time of year, the time of January, where we're going to |
| 2:21.8 | start to feel things shift. We're going to start to feel things unlock. It's not like they |
| 2:27.9 | move forward super fast, but it is that point of stillness. And we might even think about that metaphorically, because as planets station direct, |
| 2:39.0 | they move really slowly. |
| 2:40.6 | And so it's almost like moving slowly before we pivot in the next direction. |
| 2:46.5 | And so, yes, it marks the end. |
| 2:48.8 | And yes, the planet will start to move forward again. But we want to take this invitation as, again, a point of stillness. |
