Hi, Hi, the following episode of the

0:02

astrology of the Week ahead ahead taped

0:04

before I knew

0:06

the election results in

0:08

the United States

0:11

of America. So things

0:13

sound aggressively positive, given

0:15

the situation, that's why.

0:17

I I needed to get

0:19

ahead of the game so

0:21

that our team could go on

0:23

winter break and things could

0:25

happen in an orderly fashion. And

0:27

this is what happens sometimes. So

0:29

I hope that the astrology still

0:31

lands in a really helpful

0:33

way. I I just don't want

0:36

you to ever think that I

0:38

don't take an

0:40

incoming. fascist

0:43

leader seriously. I take

0:45

the situation that we're in exceptionally

0:47

seriously. I I think it's gonna

0:49

require all of us to

0:51

do everything we can in every

0:53

single moment that we

0:55

can. Do it. And I'm

0:58

here with you, you. we are in

1:00

community together, and I just didn't

1:02

want to have you thinking like, wow,

1:05

is this so spiritually bypassy? And

1:07

Channy totally lost the plot?

1:09

I haven't in with you.

1:11

And And in the year,

1:13

we're going to be doing

1:15

episodes much closer to the

1:17

time we actually air them.

1:19

But until then, please enjoy

1:21

and see how the astrology

1:23

lands as I'm talking about

1:25

it without knowing. that

1:27

type of world we're moving into. I I

1:30

hope you enjoy the episode. Are

1:32

you ready to

1:35

begin an 11 journey

1:37

of reclaiming our...

1:39

power? Me either.

1:41

But here we go. Hello welcome.

1:45

This is the astrology of

1:47

the week ahead podcast. I'm

1:49

your host, your Astro Bestie, Chani

1:52

Nicholas. And week. this

1:55

week, y 'all, is the

1:57

week we begin Mars.

2:01

Now, Mercury is already retrograde,

2:03

so we are already being

2:05

asked to review something about

2:08

the ways in which

2:10

the mechanics of our lives,

2:12

of our systems, of

2:14

our schedules, of our communications,

2:17

of some situation works

2:20

does not work. Mercury retrogrades

2:22

are excellent at pointing

2:24

out the flaw in the

2:26

system. What is about

2:29

to break, what was never

2:31

going to work, what

2:33

we need to figure out

2:35

so that it can

2:37

be more functional and so

2:39

that it can be

2:41

more useful in our lives.

2:44

I think Mercury are really

2:46

helpful, again, for pointing

2:48

out the things that are

2:50

faulty to begin with. So,

2:53

So we're already in

2:55

a slowing part of

2:57

the year, but

2:59

nothing can say

3:01

slowing down like Mars

3:04

stationing retrograde, because Mars is

3:06

the planet of energy.

3:09

Mars is the planet of

3:11

our ability to to take

3:14

a direction and go with it.

3:16

Mars is the planet of conflict.

3:18

Mars is the planet of strife.

3:21

Mars is the battle planet,

3:23

the planet of war.

3:25

Mars is a really difficult

3:27

planet. But But Mars,

3:29

we would never be able

3:31

to defend ourselves. Without

3:33

Mars, we would never be

3:35

able to puncture the

3:37

barriers that are set up

3:39

to keep us back

3:41

and to keep us in

3:44

place, quote unquote, and to us

3:46

from achieving what we

3:48

are meant to achieve. Mars

3:51

is the barrier breaker,

3:53

the boundary breaker. And,

3:55

And of course, some boundaries

3:57

and barriers we don't

3:59

want crossed. like our civil

4:02

human rights, like the sanctity

4:04

of life on this

4:06

planet. We shouldn't be just

4:08

able to break those

4:10

boundaries if we have enough

4:13

money or enough systemic

4:15

power. That should not be

4:17

something that we can

4:19

do, but in this iteration

4:21

of this world it

4:23

is. So Mars, especially within

4:26

the systems we live

4:28

within, spells out some pretty

4:30

challenging situations because it

4:32

is a planet that is

4:34

often associated with harm

4:36

or violence. So when it's

4:39

retrograde, it doesn't mean

4:41

that all of that runs

4:43

wild. It

4:45

can mean that we have

4:47

a little less energy.

4:49

It can mean that we're

4:51

needing to review our

4:54

relationship to our power, to

4:56

the ways in which

4:58

we use our fuel. Anger

5:00

is related to Mars.

5:02

Anything that raises the heat

5:04

gets our blood pumping

5:07

and feels like an overheated

5:09

kind of situation is

5:11

a Mars type of situation.

5:13

So when it's retrograde,

5:15

we want to review our

5:17

relationship to that aspect

5:19

of ourselves. And all that

5:22

to say anger in

5:24

injustice or anger as a

5:26

response to injustice is

5:28

a righteous response. It is

5:30

an understandable response. It

5:32

is a human response. But

5:35

if we are only

5:37

ever fueled by anger, we'll

5:39

never get to the

5:41

solutions needed to dismantle the

5:43

systems and to recreate

5:45

them because only anger will

5:47

burn us up. It

5:50

will burn us out. It

5:52

will wreak havoc on

5:54

our systems and on our

5:56

creativity, on our ability

5:58

to think. and creatively.

6:01

And that is one of the main

6:03

points about Mars, because Mars is

6:05

a warrior, Any good warrior has strategy. And

6:08

so we want to review our

6:10

relationship. to strategy. with

6:13

ourselves, with our own life, with every

6:15

situation that we're in. What

6:17

is it that we want to get

6:20

to? to, either at the end of

6:22

our life or at the end of this meeting,

6:24

at the end of this day, at the end

6:26

of this week. If it's

6:28

a sense of accomplishment, if it's a

6:30

sense of integrity, if if it is

6:32

living in our own truth, then how

6:34

are we going to get there? If

6:37

it's by protecting my time

6:39

so that I can rest more

6:41

deeply or or enjoy my family

6:43

and my friends more wholeheartedly, then

6:45

then what is my strategy

6:47

for doing that? I can't just

6:49

be like, oh, I I would like

6:52

to enjoy. my

6:54

partner, my friends, my besties more, But

6:56

I'm gonna let everybody else just

6:58

swallow up my time. I'm gonna

7:00

let everybody else just waste my

7:02

time and just hope that I've extra

7:04

time left over. for the people and the

7:06

things that I most wanna prioritize. We can't do that, that's

7:09

not a strategy. So

7:12

We have to know that strategy. is

7:15

is oftentimes not gonna

7:17

give us the immediate

7:19

result, especially not in

7:21

a Mars retrograde. So we

7:23

are ending the year.

7:26

and we are beginning next year. year solidly

7:29

with a Mars retrograde.

7:31

Mars will be retrograde from

7:33

December 6th all the way

7:35

through to February 23rd, 2025, 11 weeks. That means 2025.

7:39

11 weeks. That

7:41

means we're being invited, yes, yes,

7:43

to slow down and to

7:46

not overwhelm ourselves in the

7:48

new year, to not over

7:50

commit in the new year. to

7:53

approach the new year. with an

7:55

with an attitude. of

7:58

slowness. Is that a attitude? I

8:00

don't know. With the priority

8:02

being, I'm going

8:04

to move thoughtfully, strategically, but

8:07

slowly into the new

8:09

year. Things are not going

8:11

to pick up until like

8:14

March, but then in March, we've got

8:16

a Venus retrograde. There's a

8:18

lot of retrogrades in the beginning of the

8:20

year. I'll just say that. So

8:22

the first quarter of the

8:25

year especially pretty jammed

8:27

up with retrogrades, which

8:29

isn't a bad thing.

8:32

It's just the thing that's

8:34

happening, which means we're

8:36

going to have to go

8:38

back and review certain

8:40

aspects of our lives personally of

8:43

our situation collectively.

8:46

So Mars is retrograde, it

8:48

is a time for us to

8:50

collectively look at the battles that

8:53

we're in. in. It's a

8:55

time for us to collectively think about

8:57

the strategy that we're working with. It

8:59

is time for us collectively

9:01

to think about what is

9:03

the fight that is worth

9:05

having because I can't fight

9:07

every battle. I I can't

9:09

take on every clown at

9:11

the circus. I got

9:13

to be very, very strategic and

9:16

got to be very conscientious

9:18

of my energy, of the

9:21

gas that is in my

9:23

tank. Now, one of the

9:25

things that beginning of this Mars

9:27

retrograde, so Mars will be

9:29

in Leo until January

9:32

6th. So while

9:34

it's in Leo, it

9:36

is commenting on some

9:38

part of your chart

9:41

that is excessively important.

9:44

The part of your chart that contains Leo

9:47

the part of your chart

9:49

that you've got to

9:51

live into in order to

9:54

feel like you are

9:56

fully in your vitality. What

9:58

do I mean by this? Well,

10:01

let's say you're in Aries Rising.

10:03

That means that Leo

10:05

is your fifth house

10:07

using whole sign houses. So

10:10

Leo your fifth house means that

10:12

part of the ways in

10:14

which you shine is through

10:16

creative self -expression, through

10:18

having fun, through hobbies,

10:20

through having a good

10:22

time, and also through children.

10:25

And it's also the sex, of sex,

10:27

so all kinds of good times.

10:30

But there is something about those

10:32

areas of life or those aspects

10:34

of life that is so important

10:36

for you to fold into your

10:38

identity. No matter what sign your

10:40

son is in, I want you

10:42

to start to think about folding

10:44

in these things. If you're Aries Rising,

10:46

it means that Leo is your

10:48

fourth house of home and family foundation.

10:50

It doesn't mean you're not a

10:52

wild child. It doesn't mean you

10:54

don't travel around the world. It

10:56

doesn't mean you don't have a

10:58

good time and do all kinds

11:01

of things. But it does mean

11:03

that if you're Taurus there's something so

11:05

essential about creating

11:07

home and family in the

11:09

ways that you want to

11:11

that helps you to feel

11:13

like you are living a

11:15

life of purpose. If you're Gemini

11:17

Rising, then Leo by sign is

11:19

your third of communications

11:22

daily life. So it's

11:24

kind of like a doubling down of the meaning, but But third

11:26

if you're Gemini Rising, communications are

11:28

a huge important thing. So

11:30

writing, teaching, learning, facilitating,

11:34

comms, media, all of it, super

11:36

important. And this Mars is going to

11:38

help you to reconnect with the

11:40

things that maybe you haven't connected

11:42

with in a while in that

11:44

area of your life. It's going

11:46

to remind you about your agency

11:48

in the area of your chart

11:50

that contains Leo. Cancer rising is

11:52

a a second house. So it's money,

11:54

it's assets, but it's also livelihood.

11:56

how you make a living. There's

11:58

something about how you facilitate resources

12:00

or how you nourish your resources

12:02

or how you nourish other people

12:04

through your resources that is essential

12:06

to your identity. Maybe it's you

12:08

own your own business. Maybe it's

12:10

you are your product. Maybe it's

12:12

you are the thing that you're

12:14

selling. Maybe it is a lot

12:16

of different things, but it doesn't

12:18

have to be career. But for

12:20

a lot of people, for a

12:22

lot of cancer Risings, the the career,

12:24

the work, the the livelihood, the the how

12:26

we make a living, the we

12:28

do when we make a living,

12:30

or what we do with our

12:32

resources is key to feeling vibrant. If

12:36

you're Leo rising, it's you. You You

12:39

were the project. You You

12:41

were the one. You You were

12:43

the thing that you've got

12:45

to develop. It's very important

12:47

for you to develop a

12:49

shiny sense of self that

12:51

you feel like you can

12:53

be full wattage when you want

12:55

to, not every single moment

12:57

of the day, but got

12:59

to have a stage to

13:01

shine your light upon. You've

13:04

got to get some applause

13:06

and appreciation. Very important. Don't

13:08

feel any way about it.

13:10

This Mars is going to remind

13:12

you something about your personal

13:14

power and how to reclaim

13:16

it. If you're Virgo rising, then

13:18

Leo is your 12th house, a

13:20

the scenes life. Now,

13:22

having your son rule this

13:24

part of your chart, having Leo

13:26

in your 12th house, is

13:28

kind of like an Olivia Pope

13:30

vibe sometimes. It's like We

13:32

do some really amazing things behind

13:34

the scenes. That's how

13:36

we shine, or that's part

13:38

of what helps us to feel

13:40

vital, is by giving ourselves

13:42

some solitude. It's by going away

13:45

and doing the thing out

13:47

of sight so that nobody knows,

13:49

but we're kind of able

13:51

to go and do something that

13:53

is necessary, but but that we

13:55

don't want everybody talking about or

13:57

knowing about. It's also great

14:00

for healers and people

14:02

that work. within

14:04

the systems that

14:06

want to abolish the... prison

14:09

industrial complex. It's about

14:11

going into places that are

14:13

also outside of public jurisdiction,

14:15

or or they're outside of public

14:17

domain, or they're outside of

14:19

like public eye. eye. And

14:21

And I don't know if I said all that right, but you

14:23

know what I mean? It's like we put people away

14:26

in institutions, and then people that

14:28

have Virgo and

14:30

sometimes important placements in

14:32

the 12th house, they might

14:34

work in that area of life. To

14:36

be Virgo Rising doesn't mean you have to

14:38

do that, but it does mean there's

14:40

something about the inner life or the

14:42

hidden life that's very important for you

14:44

to delve into. This Mars is gonna help

14:46

you to reclaim some aspect of your

14:49

energy that might have gotten locked away

14:51

or hidden somewhere. away

14:53

from your kind of of conscious

14:55

knowing. Liber Rising, surprise, surprise,

14:58

Leo for Liber Risings, Leo is

15:00

your 11th house of

15:02

friends and groups and associations and

15:04

parties and being on the go and

15:06

being a social butterfly. So Mars through

15:08

this part of your chart is

15:11

reminding you about your power in

15:13

the group. You have power in

15:15

the group. Never forget your power

15:17

in the collective. It's

15:19

not that you're more powerful than the

15:21

collective. You are powerful in the

15:23

collective. You are just as powerful, just

15:25

as potent as the group. So this Mars

15:27

is to be be really for your group

15:29

work. If you're Scorpio

15:31

Rising, then Leo is your 10th

15:33

house, which means that you've got to

15:35

find a place in the world. on

15:38

the world stage that you feel like

15:40

you can shine. You don't have to take up

15:42

all space, you don't have to suck all the

15:44

air out of the room. You don't have

15:47

to be a celebrity, You you you to be a

15:49

pop star. It just means that you do need

15:51

to shine out in the world. That is

15:53

a central component. to you feeling

15:55

like you're living a life of purpose. And

15:57

this retrograde is gonna show. like,

16:00

you know, some of the conflicts there

16:02

and some of the strife there, but also

16:04

how you need to reclaim your power and

16:06

fully be in your

16:08

agency out in the world.

16:10

If you are sad rising, then

16:12

Leo is your ninth

16:14

house of surprise, surprise, surprise, your

16:16

travel, education, long -term

16:18

plans, like the huge

16:21

journey, also publishing

16:23

anything that you put out

16:25

into the world, also law. So

16:28

Mars retrograde, those of you that work in

16:30

law, for those of you that are

16:32

trying to pass laws, for those of

16:34

you that are trying to disrupt harmful

16:36

laws or change them. This will be an

16:39

important Mars retrograde and, you know, obviously

16:41

things will be shut down over

16:43

the last part of December and the

16:46

first part of January, but there's important

16:48

things happening for you to review

16:50

in that area of life, for teachers,

16:52

for people that travel a lot,

16:54

those kinds of issues might get a

16:56

little complicated And also

16:58

a beautiful moment for you

17:00

to reclaim your agency

17:03

from any kind of paradigm

17:06

that you have lost your agency

17:08

to. So kind of religion or

17:11

spiritual tradition or practice that

17:13

you feel like you've kind of

17:15

lost yourself to, it's a good

17:17

time to reclaim. And also it's

17:19

just a really important time

17:21

for you to be reorienting yourself

17:23

towards your North of meaning, because the

17:26

house where is for you is

17:28

about orienting towards what has meaning

17:30

in our life. So will be

17:32

a re -rooting of sorts. Then

17:35

if you Capricorn rising, Leo is

17:37

your eighth house of

17:39

shared resources, of taxes,

17:41

debts, loans, but also grants. So

17:43

it's about what you do

17:45

with the resources and the finances

17:48

that you receive from other

17:50

people or other institutions. This is

17:52

an important time to be

17:54

like, is this collaboration worth it?

17:56

Is this collaboration the thing

17:58

I need to go towards? The

18:00

eighth house is also the

18:02

place of grief and of loss

18:04

and of longing and so

18:06

this might be an important moment

18:08

for you to be reclaiming

18:10

some of your energy, reclaiming some

18:13

of the things that got lost to

18:15

issues that have gone

18:17

ungrieved in your life. if

18:20

we have ungrieved ghosts. They

18:23

will. distort our

18:25

present. So we have to

18:27

go back in and say like, what Have

18:29

I not grieved fully? What I

18:31

not? really sat with

18:33

and how have I been

18:36

losing my energy to that because I've

18:38

been resisting it for so long. So

18:40

Capricorn Rising, folks, part

18:43

of your identity. part

18:45

of you feeling vibrant. This might

18:47

sound weird, but part of you feeling

18:49

vibrant is A, to to understand

18:51

like joint finances and to understand how

18:53

to make more out of your

18:55

collaborations and how to manage other people.

18:57

You make excellent producers and you can

18:59

really take other people's talents and

19:01

be like, oh, oh, we should do

19:03

this and this and this And then we

19:05

can flourish. We We can both like

19:07

flourish in these ways. And there's

19:09

something here that you know something about

19:11

difficulty and hardship. That's just Capricorn Rising

19:13

well. And that

19:16

really fully going into those

19:18

aspects of life. Actually.

19:21

you know that that makes you feel

19:23

more alive, which is true, we all

19:25

it's something we all hide from. But But

19:28

your job here, and especially with this

19:30

Mars retrograde, is to reclaim the power

19:32

of that. sit with if

19:34

we the fact that everything we sit

19:37

with the be with the fact

19:39

that everything we love in

19:42

the physical plane is going to

19:44

leave, including ourselves, that

19:46

we actually get to live more fully

19:48

into the present. And that's part of is

19:50

your wants to help you And that's part of

19:52

what Mars If your wants to help you

19:54

reclaim. in If you. Leo is your 7000 committed then

19:56

Leo's right out in front of you.

19:59

Leo is your 7 ,000 -committed - relationships and

20:01

this Mars is going to help you

20:03

to work through your own agency,

20:05

maybe agency that you've given up

20:07

in relationships or agency that your

20:09

partners are are up in relationships,

20:11

and it's going to get you

20:14

both in whatever partnership. I'm whatever talking

20:16

business, I'm talking your

20:19

partnerships, but they have to be committed partnerships

20:21

and romantic, of course, your clients, if

20:23

you have them, anyone you've got a

20:25

contract with, you'll be parsing

20:27

out like oh, that's your stuff. This is

20:29

my stuff. This is where I

20:31

have agency. That's where you have agency.

20:35

don't Don't, don't give me your power. You

20:37

keep it. I'll keep mine. And then

20:39

what can we do together? and And

20:41

Also, you you know, and people might

20:43

find this interesting or weird, but people

20:45

with Aquarius have Leo in the house, which

20:47

means that partnerships are a big part

20:49

of your identity, that being in

20:52

partnerships are really important to you. again.

20:54

they can be platonic. They don't have

20:56

to be romantic, but there's something

20:58

about the partnership that helps you to

21:00

of come more fully into yourself. That's

21:02

true for everybody, but astrologically, the is

21:05

very, very true, and this Mars reminds

21:07

you of what you need in

21:09

relationships and that again, you have agency in

21:11

relationships and it's up to you to

21:13

say, I need this, I want

21:15

this, I don't want that, I do

21:18

want this. Pisces

21:20

our last Pisces has Leo

21:22

in the sixth house by whole

21:24

sign. And that means that part of

21:26

how you need to feel vibrant

21:28

or part of what you need to

21:31

do to feel vibrant and alive and

21:33

you're living out your purpose is to

21:35

be of service, is

21:37

to do things just because you

21:39

want to do them, because you

21:41

believe that this is the thing

21:43

to do, do because you want

21:45

to be of service. This

21:48

is also the place of work,

21:50

work schedules, whether

21:52

it's domestic work or job,

21:54

job work doesn't matter.

21:56

It's work schedules, daily

21:58

life, routines, pets. and

22:00

also your health. So

22:02

Mars here like, like, at these look

22:05

at these things, are you

22:07

overheating? Leo rising and

22:09

Pisces rising, I wanna make

22:11

sure that you understand, you

22:13

don't wanna overheat at this

22:16

time. So So letting

22:18

your anger run wild, letting cortisol spikes

22:20

run wild. I'm not saying you

22:22

don't have a reason for those two

22:24

things. I'm just saying, is there

22:26

something you can do to manage that,

22:28

to to bring it down? We work

22:31

on our ability to be anti -inflammatory

22:33

in every way possible. Pisces rising,

22:35

this is a really good time

22:37

to rework your work schedules. To

22:39

be like, okay, I'm closing down the year. This

22:42

is how I worked in 2024.

22:44

How am I gonna wanna work in 2025?

22:46

That's different than what I did, because

22:49

this stuff didn't work, this stuff did.

22:51

I'm gonna take what worked, I'm

22:53

gonna let go of the

22:55

rest and I'm gonna move

22:57

into the new year knowing

22:59

that I'm rethinking, reworking this area

23:01

of life. So this

23:03

is what the first part of the Mars

23:06

is about. Now Now Mars be retrograding

23:08

through Leo until

23:10

January 6th. So we

23:12

have one month with this. And

23:14

then it will move back

23:16

into cancer. And once it does does

23:18

that, we'll talk about what house

23:20

that's happening in. If you

23:22

wanna know more about it, listen

23:24

to your reading this week.

23:26

I go into great detail about

23:28

it. And we'll talk even

23:31

about where Mars goes back it

23:33

goes back into cancer. But

23:35

just know that the beginning of

23:37

this Mars retrograde is so much

23:39

about our leadership and about our

23:41

identity and about what we need

23:43

to review and reclaim

23:46

in regards to our agency and our

23:48

power and our ability to do

23:50

the things that we need to

23:52

do because it's in because it's in Leo.

23:55

Leo is the sign that is ruled by the sun

23:57

and the sun is the leader. The

23:59

sun is. The royal, The sun is the

24:01

one gives us the light and the

24:03

heat that we need. And

24:06

And Mars is the

24:09

warrior. Mars is the one

24:11

that goes out and does battle. Mars is the

24:13

one that is like, I the courage. I just

24:15

have the energy. I I don't even think about

24:17

courage, I just go. So

24:19

when it's retrograde, we review our

24:21

relationship. to that. and

24:24

remind ourselves, this is where I

24:26

have power. Okay,

24:28

where did I get lost? Where

24:31

did I give up my agency? What

24:34

did I give my agency up to?

24:37

and why? Again,

24:39

we always have good reason to do it.

24:41

It's not about a judgment And

24:43

it's not about the fact

24:45

that it's all personal, right? We

24:47

live within systems that demand

24:51

that we feel. disempowered.

24:55

That's how they function. is is they

24:57

want to overwhelm us us and us and make us

24:59

feel like we are ugly. and not

25:02

good so that we'll buy all their stuff and

25:05

be in their wheel. So I'm

25:07

not saying it's separate from that. It's very

25:09

connected to that. And And there a

25:11

way for us to reclaim the things

25:13

that we can't, reclaim the power that

25:15

we have? in any way shape or

25:17

form. Okay.

25:19

so that's like the next

25:22

11 weeks, but. specifically the

25:24

Mars and thing is the

25:26

next, let's say four weeks.

25:28

Once it gets into cancer.

25:30

then talks much more about our

25:32

agency to nourish ourselves, our

25:34

agency to protect ourselves, our

25:36

agency to make sure

25:38

that we understand our emotional

25:40

life and how we

25:43

want to work with it.

25:45

it. It's much

25:47

more about our moon the moon

25:49

rules cancer. So So talk

25:51

about that. It's really interesting

25:53

that Mars is retrograding through both

25:55

signs that are about the

25:57

luminaries. Leo is... the

26:00

sign the sun rules. cancer

26:02

is a sign that the moon rules. The sun and

26:04

the moon. are the two

26:06

luminaries of our chart, they

26:08

say so much about who we

26:10

are and what we need

26:12

to do in this lifetime. So

26:15

I will say people with

26:17

placements in Leo and cancer will

26:19

get especially connected to this

26:21

Mars retrograde. And, you know. people

26:23

with Leo rising and cancer

26:25

rising, especially, especially. because it

26:27

will be in your first

26:29

house. for a good

26:31

long time. All

26:33

right. That is the basis

26:36

of Mars retrograde, Mars stations

26:38

retrograde on Friday the 6th.

26:40

Please go read your Mars

26:42

horoscope in the Channy app

26:44

under the current sky section

26:46

of the app and also

26:48

26:50

You can read those at

26:52

any time. They are both

26:54

free of charge. Now let's

26:56

talk about just the little

26:58

old astrology of the week

27:00

that is part of the Mars

27:02

retrograde, surrounds the Mars retrograde. On

27:04

Monday, we've got Venus, Trine, Uranus,

27:06

Love this for us. It's about

27:09

being able to be experimental in

27:11

our relationships or in regards to

27:13

how we enjoy ourselves. On Wednesday,

27:15

we've got a Mercury making an

27:17

opposition, Mercury retrograde, making an opposition

27:19

to Jupiter. is the second one

27:22

it's making. It is a lot

27:24

of hype. It's a lot of

27:26

excitement. It's a lot

27:28

of like, oh, I love this info.

27:30

And And... at

27:32

the same time. or right

27:34

after it. Mercury is going to

27:37

square Saturn. The Sun is going to square

27:39

Saturn. And there's going to be a Kazimi.

27:41

as these things happen, which means.

27:45

there's gonna be like good news or like

27:47

big hype or something that seems like

27:49

too good to be true. And then all

27:51

of a sudden it's gonna be proved

27:53

wrong or there's gonna be a limit put

27:55

on it or there's this feeling of

27:57

inhaling, exhaling. And Mercury

27:59

is a planet that is associated with

28:01

the lungs, with the arms, with the

28:04

hands. So can

28:06

think about this, The is Mercury

28:08

making an opposition to Jupiter, and and then

28:11

right away it squares Saturn with the

28:13

Sun the sun and and come together. So

28:16

there's a big opportunity. and and

28:18

absolute limits and restrictions that

28:20

we have to work within. So

28:23

So feels very expansive and restrictive

28:26

at the same time. Or

28:28

it's something expansive within a

28:30

very restrictive situation. Or

28:35

it's just the right type of

28:37

molding and shape and boundaries

28:39

for us to have a

28:41

true expansive experience within.

28:44

because we feel. we feel, I think

28:47

more expansive when we know

28:49

we're also like contained or psychologically

28:51

contained, then we can really. soar,

28:54

right? Right? If we have no

28:56

boundaries, no limits, no restrictions, it can feel

28:58

a little like

29:00

are untethered or a

29:02

little disorienting. So This

29:05

is the inhale, exhale. And

29:08

And I just want us to remember that

29:10

this week. Inhale, exhale, because. Because

29:12

and Jupiter are about to make

29:14

their next square and that is

29:17

very inhale, exhale. Where do we expand? because

29:20

of the boundaries or where are

29:22

the boundaries? How can we expand into

29:24

the fullness of them? This is

29:26

the law, this is the structure, this

29:28

is the way things have to

29:30

work. What can we do within that

29:32

framework? That's a huge theme that

29:34

runs through Wednesday, Thursday and

29:36

Friday as Mars

29:39

stations retrograde. And then Venus,

29:41

Venus, after doing a couple of cute things

29:43

on Monday and Wednesday, trying to

29:45

to Uranus, sex style to Neptune, very

29:48

romantic as the Sun, square Saturn, very

29:50

realistic. Again, realistic. we're, we're, we're,

29:52

we're working with opposites. Jupiter

29:55

is in Gemini. We in want to really

29:57

embrace the polarities, the opposites, the paradox. Venus

30:01

then moves into Aquarius,

30:03

where it abruptly meets up...

30:05

with Pluto. So. So Friday

30:08

into into Saturday, We

30:10

have Venus making a conjunction

30:13

with Pluto. which

30:15

is a deep and cathartic. relationship

30:17

journey. So So

30:19

there's something here at the end of

30:21

the week that also spells out a

30:24

very important moment together. So

30:27

your relationships are going through. this

30:30

This will be a very

30:32

transformative little pit stop, it's

30:34

quick, Venus is still

30:36

moving. it won't get into

30:38

its shadowy. pre -retrograde place

30:40

until the end of January. So

30:43

So is a little

30:45

beat, but it's

30:47

happening as Mars retrograde. It's

30:49

happening as we're getting this

30:52

expansive but very. contradictory

30:55

and contractive news from Mercury. And we're

30:57

really being like, okay, this is the

30:59

shape of things. What can we

31:01

do within the shape of things?

31:05

kind of of moment. So

31:07

feels deep and cathartic. And because

31:09

Venus is also about what we

31:11

value and and how we create union,

31:14

there's something transformative there. Now,

31:16

we might actually hear

31:19

news. about unions because

31:21

Venus, I think, represents unions.

31:23

Literally Literally the the of union,

31:26

unions are about. being

31:29

in union, unionizing. And so there might be

31:31

something because this is an Aquarius, So

31:33

it's about the people and it's Pluto.

31:35

So it's people power. There

31:37

might be something really important about unions

31:39

or about unionizing or something to

31:41

do with the people that

31:44

comes up in a much

31:46

more like global kind of

31:48

way or in a way

31:50

that is much more about the collective

31:52

experience. And

31:55

also on Saturday, the makes

31:57

a opposition to Jupiter. So

31:59

again. and it's like contraction and the

32:01

expansion. Because Mercury moving backwards, but

32:03

the Sun is moving forwards,

32:05

they do it opposite, but we're

32:07

book -ended. by by these. or they're

32:10

them at the same time. and they kind of swap out.

32:12

out. So what's the

32:14

expansion? What's the contraction? How can

32:16

we work within the limits we've got? And

32:19

then Neptune stations direct,

32:21

which is not that

32:23

big of a deal. Neptune pulls

32:25

a little. So there's also that

32:27

feeling of wanting to work within

32:30

the ideal. of the moment. or

32:32

whatever the ideal is for this

32:34

moment. But Mars retrograde is

32:37

gonna dominate. It's gonna dominate the

32:39

headlines and whatever conflict

32:41

might be happening out in

32:43

the world. We

32:45

have to be the dough for it. I

32:47

don't mean we disassociate and

32:49

pretend everything's okay and refuse to

32:51

deal with conflict. Conflict is inevitable,

32:54

violence. is not. So

32:56

whatever violence, think, I should say, we see

32:58

out in the world. we

33:01

have to be the opposite to that

33:03

and say, this is the conflict and

33:05

this is how we can work through

33:07

the conflict, work with the conflict, get

33:09

to something good through. the the

33:11

things that irritate and

33:13

upset and us move into

33:15

action in some way. So

33:18

a a lot of

33:20

that type of thing. is

33:22

probably gonna get teased out. And

33:24

it just makes, especially the first two

33:26

weeks of December, a a little bit

33:28

more complicated. So try

33:30

to do a little less complicated

33:33

things that you don't actually have to

33:35

do. Like keep it simple, sweetheart,

33:38

because Mercury is retrograde and now Mars

33:40

is. And Mercury will be

33:42

retrograde until the 15th of December. So

33:46

let's simplify, let's keep

33:48

it organized. Y'all, thank you so much,

33:50

truly, thank you so much

33:53

us reviews in the leaving us reviews a the app

33:55

store. team. It makes the world a difference

33:57

to us and our team. and

34:00

our little app. app. I

34:02

wanted to leave you with this

34:04

one, it's called Gratitude for Chani and Team.

34:06

The Chani has become part of my

34:08

self -care routine. It has

34:10

taught me to not only open

34:12

myself up to meditation. but

34:15

actually enjoy it, which has empowered

34:17

me in ways I did not expect.

34:20

I also just get so much joy

34:22

out of listening to my own

34:24

reading along with the other features on

34:26

the app. I appreciate the intention

34:28

and hard work Chani and the team

34:31

put in to making this more

34:33

than an app, but an experience of

34:35

love. and connection. At

34:38

the end of next week, Mercury Stations direct.

34:40

so come back and we'll talk about that.

34:42

On the same day, there's a full

34:44

in Gemini which ruled by Mercury, so I

34:46

think that'll be pretty interesting. In

34:49

the meantime, I am sending you all

34:51

the love. All the blessings. Go

34:54

listen to your reading. in in

34:56

your Chani app your

34:59

rising sign. It is going

35:01

to help you. We are on a

35:03

journey together now. It's you, it's

35:05

me, it's me, of us. it's all of

35:07

us. Let's talk our way through

35:09

this. Join me over on

35:11

Instagram. I'll be in my stories

35:13

Instagram. I'll be on TikTok. I'll

35:15

be posting about this. This

35:17

is an 11 week transformative process

35:19

that we are in together.

35:22

You are not alone. I am

35:24

not alone. We've got each

35:26

other, so let's work this through.

35:29

Bye for now.
