Hi, the the following episode

0:02

of the Astrology of the

0:04

Week of the week taped before

0:06

I knew the election

0:08

results in the United States

0:10

of America. So if

0:13

things sound aggressively positive, given

0:15

the situation, that's why.

0:17

why. I I needed to get ahead

0:19

of the game so that

0:22

our team could go on on

0:24

break and things could happen in

0:26

an orderly fashion. orderly fashion is

0:28

what happens what So I hope

0:30

that the astrology still lands in

0:32

a really helpful way. I

0:34

just don't want you to ever

0:37

think that I don't take ever

0:39

think that I don't take an

0:41

incoming fascist leader seriously.

0:43

I take the I take the situation

0:46

that we're in in. seriously. I

0:48

think it's going to require

0:50

all of us to do everything

0:52

we can in every single

0:54

moment that we can. Do it.

0:56

can do I'm here with you,

0:59

you. we are in community

1:01

together, and I just didn't

1:03

want to have you thinking you

1:05

thinking is this so spiritually bypassy

1:08

and has totally lost

1:10

the plot? the I haven't and

1:12

you. And in the new year,

1:14

we're going to be doing

1:16

episodes much closer to the time

1:18

we actually air them. But

1:20

until then, please enjoy and see

1:22

how the astrology lands as I'm

1:24

I'm talking about it without knowing.

1:27

the that type of world we're

1:29

moving into. I hope I hope you enjoy the

1:31

episode. episode. Hello and welcome.

1:33

This is the Astrology

1:35

of the Week ahead

1:38

the Week Ahead I'm your

1:40

host your host and your Nicholas.

1:42

Look, this week starts

1:44

out with a new a

1:47

new moon in Capricorn. as the

1:49

year is ending, just

1:51

as the next year

1:53

is beginning, just after

1:56

the solstice. We have

1:58

we have cute, productive, little

2:00

self-selfs. starting new moon and capricorn.

2:02

This new moon is not blessed

2:04

by Venus and Jupiter, but it

2:07

is sitting in relationship with its

2:09

ruler Saturn. And that means that

2:11

it is exceptionally constructive. So I

2:14

really like this as like a

2:16

functional remedy to how we close

2:18

out a year. and begin a

2:21

new one, how we close out

2:23

one season, and begin a new

2:25

one, how we think about what

2:28

we're gonna do to organize ourselves

2:30

for the next year when we're

2:32

thinking about what we got out

2:35

of last year, this new moon,

2:37

I think is gonna be really

2:39

helpful. Because this new moon is

2:42

a good excuse to be like,

2:44

what actually worked and why? And

2:46

why? And what about it worked?

2:49

Like, this is what I did.

2:51

This is the effect of what

2:53

I did. These are the results

2:56

of what I did and how

2:58

I did it. And this is

3:00

why I like that kind of

3:03

setup. Or conversely, this is what

3:05

I did. These were the results.

3:07

It sucked, or did not meet

3:10

my expectations. Therefore, I'm not going

3:12

to do it in that way

3:14

again. Can we really learn from

3:17

our mistakes? Can we really take

3:19

what the year has taught us

3:21

and distill it down? That's what

3:24

like Newman's do. They help us

3:26

to take whatever work from the

3:28

previous cycle. It's also what solstices

3:31

help us to do, like, okay,

3:33

what has worked over the previous

3:35

little time period? What can we

3:38

distill from the previous cycle into

3:40

a seed of wisdom? of what

3:42

worked, of what is essential that

3:44

we can plant for. this next

3:47

go-round for this next cycle. So

3:49

we can think of this moment

3:51

in a couple of different ways.

3:54

One is we can think of

3:56

it in terms of what we

3:58

want to do for the next

4:01

28 days, if there's like a

4:03

pattern that we want to set

4:05

over the course of the next

4:08

28 days, if there's a habit

4:10

that we want to like imbue

4:12

our lives with. put into the

4:15

fabric of our being, then we

4:17

can spend the next 28 days

4:19

practicing that a little bit every

4:22

day. We can also, because we

4:24

just went through the solstice and

4:26

maybe have had the last nine

4:29

or so days to think about

4:31

what works, we can think about

4:33

what we want from now until

4:36

the equinox. If you think of

4:38

working in quarters and segments of

4:40

time, then we can consider like,

4:43

I've got some weeks, like 11

4:45

or so weeks to work with.

4:47

What is it that I actually

4:50

want to do from now until

4:52

the equinox? Because the equinox can

4:54

feel like, oh, that's so far

4:57

away. But if we actually break

4:59

it down, it's not that far

5:01

away. And it will be here.

5:04

like everything else before we know

5:06

it. So if we actually want

5:08

to make sure that we're practicing

5:11

something, that we're building towards something,

5:13

that we're going to, yes, accomplish

5:15

a couple of things, maybe one

5:18

thing, from now until the equinox,

5:20

this is a really good time,

5:22

so really good moment to reset

5:25

and say, what can I do?

5:27

Week to week and then day

5:29

to day. But a little bit

5:32

before that, it's like month to

5:34

month, week to week, day to

5:36

day. And if I fast forward

5:38

all the way to the equinox,

5:41

what is it that I want

5:43

to make sure I have ingrained

5:45

in my life, that I have

5:48

accomplished, that I've done? And then

5:50

if I walk it backwards, what

5:52

do I need to start doing

5:55

this week in order for every

5:57

week from here to that? to

5:59

be in line with that line

6:02

with that or that

6:04

value. of Speaking of

6:06

values. thing that The next thing

6:08

that happens this week that's really

6:10

important is on Thursday, on Venus is

6:13

moving into Pisces. And this is

6:15

one of the best things that

6:17

we go into 2025 with. into

6:19

beginning of 2025. of is

6:21

a little a little fraught

6:23

because is very retrograde.

6:26

Thursday, Mars is is going to

6:28

make its second opposition to Pluto. to

6:30

So I'm not saying that Thursday

6:32

is a great day. What I'm

6:34

saying is that we've got a

6:36

little help. We've got a little.

6:39

in our in our pocket, we've

6:41

got a little wind beneath

6:43

our wings. We've got a

6:45

little bit of and pazazas and a

6:47

a little glam from the

6:49

universe to help us through

6:51

the challenging moment. moment. Pisces Pisces.

6:53

is such a beautiful situation

6:56

because Venus is said to

6:58

be exalted in Pisces in so

7:00

it's up on high. up on

7:02

high. Venus up on high as

7:04

the principle of connectivity and

7:06

friendship and love love and and

7:08

beauty. and art and

7:10

pleasure and in all the

7:12

good things and not missing the good

7:14

things because of the stressful things. And there

7:16

are enough stressful things, you know what

7:19

I mean? So are and Pisces

7:21

is like. things. You yeah, but. I mean?

7:23

Can we float down the

7:25

river a little bit? Can we

7:27

enjoy this cup of tea? we Can

7:29

we take in this moment with

7:31

our friends and our loved ones?

7:34

That is the stuff of life.

7:36

of Also, we attract more bees

7:38

with honey and a a little

7:40

bit of sugar helps the medicine

7:42

go down. if we want to we want

7:44

to attract people to our

7:46

movements and if we if we want

7:48

to move groups of people, people, The

7:50

best way to do it is to

7:52

help them to feel invited, to throw

7:54

the best party out there that that everyone

7:56

wants to be a part of what

7:58

we're doing. what we're doing. Venus and Pisces

8:01

brings to awareness the principle of

8:03

relationship and connection and helps us

8:05

to do that with a little

8:07

bit more ease. Maybe not the

8:09

whole time that Venus and Pisces

8:12

and Venus and Pisces is like

8:14

a whole of their chapter of

8:16

the year, but I just want

8:18

to say that for this week,

8:20

as of Thursday, it's definitely on

8:23

our side and the part of

8:25

your try that contains. Pisces is

8:27

extra gifted and blessed with Venus

8:29

being here. It's going to help

8:31

things move in a certain way.

8:34

It's going to help you get

8:36

the help you need. So in

8:38

your reading, in the Channey app

8:40

this week, we focus on, yes,

8:42

the New Moon, what to do

8:45

with it, how to make use

8:47

of it, how to plan with

8:49

it, and then also how to

8:51

receive the blessings of Venus and

8:54

Pisces. And but also, because the

8:56

universe loves loves to do that.

8:58

Mars is making its second opposition

9:00

to Pluto on January 2nd. So

9:02

January 2nd. It's, you know, the

9:05

day after, the day after. And

9:07

I don't know, will the world

9:09

be very active at this point?

9:11

I doubt it, but Mars making

9:13

an opposition to Pluto spells out

9:16

something quite hefty and extreme. Now

9:18

we had a Mars Pluto opposition

9:20

on November 3rd. So this is

9:22

the second round of that. On

9:24

November 3rd, Mars is in cancer

9:27

and Pluto is in Capacorn and

9:29

now they've shifted signs for this

9:31

moment and they're making this opposition

9:33

for this moment in these fixed

9:35

signs. They're going to do this

9:38

one more time at the end

9:40

of April. So this is the

9:42

midpoint of a story. We're also

9:44

getting close to the midpoint of

9:46

the Mars retrograde. There's just again

9:49

some tension in the air and

9:51

a Mars Pluto opposition is always

9:53

going to be somewhat of a

9:55

power struggle. it's always

9:57

going to unearth

10:00

some kind of

10:02

power dynamic that

10:04

has this this

10:06

moment. a little a little

10:08

subterranean or a lot subterranean. It's

10:10

like whatever goes on under the

10:13

surface on under teased out and

10:15

becomes much more obvious. So it's

10:17

a little bit of a

10:19

rough start to the new year.

10:21

Again. year. Again, stick with

10:23

what is practically possible

10:25

with that new new moon

10:28

Let us be be in the

10:31

the details as much as we

10:33

can. Let us be in the

10:35

day as much as we can.

10:37

What can I do in this

10:39

moment on this day? on If there's

10:41

there's like struggles that are happening. are in

10:43

the world, maybe with

10:45

politicians, maybe with leaders. This

10:48

is with leaders, this is in. in

10:50

Leo, which is about leadership. then

10:53

we've got to remember that.

10:56

that all that chaos is

10:58

aimed at stealing our

11:00

time and stealing our

11:02

connection to our agency.

11:04

our agency and we must

11:06

remain remain unsorted our

11:09

determination. to do

11:11

the things that we know we can

11:13

do here and now. do and try

11:15

not to. try not to on

11:17

what might happen. but

11:20

to instead stay with the

11:22

moments that we do have

11:24

some power control over over

11:26

some authority within so

11:28

that we can work as

11:30

practically and as grounded

11:32

as possible or in the

11:34

in grounded way. as possible.

11:37

But I do expect there to be

11:39

to thing that happens this week. happens

11:41

this beginning of the year

11:43

that of the year, that is like, oh, is,

11:45

that is a power grab or that

11:47

is something that feels like a

11:49

little bit of an bit of a to

11:51

steal something. And then then you might want

11:53

to think about how does your

11:56

energy get stolen? I mean, all of

11:58

our energy gets stolen by by again. chaos

12:00

of the systems we live

12:02

within. But what can we

12:04

do to redirect and to

12:06

refocus and to remember the

12:08

power of relationship and connectivity

12:10

as Venus and Pisces is

12:12

trying to teach us. Then

12:14

on Saturday, the sun makes

12:16

that sextile to Saturn that

12:18

was imbued that is in

12:20

the new moon on Monday.

12:22

And so it's a nice

12:24

day to solidify plans and like

12:26

longer term situations. And

12:29

that is the week. Okay,

12:31

now it's time for ask me

12:33

anything. Y 'all have been writing

12:35

in with your questions and

12:37

I'm here to answer them. This

12:39

one is another one that

12:41

I get all the time, which

12:43

is what should I check

12:45

for in somebody's chart that would

12:47

make a romantic relationship good

12:49

for me? Like, what do I

12:51

need to know about somebody

12:53

in terms of like compatibility and

12:55

relationship and love and and

12:57

this is my final answer to

12:59

all of those questions. Check

13:01

for the relationship, check for the

13:03

person, check for the way

13:05

they're behaving, check for the way

13:07

they're acting, check for the

13:09

way you feel when you're with

13:11

them, check in on the

13:13

people and yourself and your body,

13:15

build the relationship first, then

13:17

look at how the astrology works.

13:19

Secondarily, I think that we

13:21

all know this, but I just

13:23

want to make sure that

13:25

we start there. We have to

13:27

start first with the relationship

13:30

just because your chart and my

13:32

chart link up in certain

13:34

ways doesn't mean that you and

13:36

I are going to first

13:38

comes the relationship. And then we

13:40

see how the astrology comments

13:42

on it. So all of the

13:44

whole entire chart, my chart

13:46

and your chart have to be

13:48

taken into consideration when we

13:50

look at compatibility, right? We want

13:52

to see how the whole

13:54

thing interacts with the other whole

13:56

thing. And there's situations where

13:58

like if I have the sun Scorpio

14:00

and you have the in

14:02

Gemini. Those two things don't see

14:04

each other in traditional astrology,

14:06

like Scorpio and Gemini. Gemini

14:08

link up anywhere. up anywhere. that's the information.

14:11

It doesn't mean that they don't go

14:13

together. It doesn't mean that they're

14:15

a bad combination. They can be a

14:17

phenomenal combination. be It just means that

14:19

there's a very different approach that

14:21

both people take. that in regards

14:24

to how they shine they the ways

14:26

in which they shine. And we have

14:28

to be have to be well, that's how

14:30

that person does. that's life, I

14:32

have to know how to love

14:34

them in the way that's

14:36

gonna work for them and myself

14:38

in order for this relationship

14:40

to work. Having said that, we

14:42

wanna make sure or we

14:44

wanna look for connections, or we want to

14:46

look for connections, right, then my

14:48

Venus, and my Venus and

14:51

sun and ascendant. And yes, the

14:53

the seventh house, the the place

14:55

of relationships. So I think

14:57

that like, if your Venus connects connects

14:59

with my moon, that's going to

15:01

feel good. If my moon connects to

15:03

your mid -heaven, I I might nurture

15:05

and nourish your career. Cause mid -heaven

15:07

is about career and the moon is

15:09

about how we take care of

15:11

and nourish. of If my If my son is on

15:14

your on your Jupiter, there's a good

15:16

chance that we're going to be

15:18

able to like each other up. up.

15:20

So every combo has a unique set

15:22

of of set of characteristics and

15:24

they'll work in ways that help

15:26

each other out. I do this

15:28

little signal a lot. For those

15:30

of you that can't see me,

15:32

I'm like. all my fingers together. It's

15:34

like the symbol for more because

15:36

my daughter always for more, because we

15:38

want more sun and Jupiter together.

15:40

But like your Jupiter on my like

15:42

your Jupiter, on my point of relationship,

15:44

my probably gonna encourage me to

15:46

grow or it's gonna help me

15:48

to feel like there's an grow, or it's

15:50

going to our

15:52

partnership. there's an expansiveness to

15:54

our partnership. Your moon and if they

15:56

are at the same point, I

15:59

mean, I I mean, might... galvanize you into action

16:01

to take care of yourself, but I

16:03

also might annoy you. You know, like,

16:05

and that's not bad for a relationship.

16:07

We're all gonna annoy each other at

16:09

some point. It's about how the components

16:11

of everybody's chart is relating to each

16:13

other, but mostly it's about how you

16:16

as a human relate to another human

16:18

and how you work through conflict, how

16:20

you create. conditions for safety and intimacy

16:22

and accountability, that's what matters the most

16:24

first and foremost. And then every single

16:26

thing in my chart means something and

16:28

every single thing in your chart means

16:31

something and you see where they come

16:33

together. So where do we share placements

16:35

like planet and sign or where are

16:37

they complementary? Like say if I've got.

16:39

seven planets and Aries, God help me.

16:41

And you have one planet in Leo,

16:43

those are all fire signs. So your

16:45

Leo planet is gonna speak to my

16:48

Aries planet and we're gonna get really

16:50

fiery and creative together. If you've got

16:52

three planets and Pisces and I have

16:54

one in Scorpio, those are all water

16:56

signs. My Scorpio is gonna be able

16:58

to like move in and like secretly

17:00

support you and probably help you to.

17:02

feel like you're able to be direct

17:05

and defend yourself maybe covertly, but you

17:07

know what I mean? Like there's ways

17:09

in which each planet in each sign

17:11

functions, and then you want to see

17:13

if there's relationships, and if the relationship

17:15

is a square, then there's friction. Fiction

17:17

isn't bad, it causes action, but it's

17:19

also agitating. So if you want to

17:22

like settle down and be comfortable, the

17:24

agitation might get in the way. But

17:26

if you want to grow and you

17:28

need a little bit of agitation to

17:30

do that, that's also good. If planets

17:32

are sitting in opposing signs, like my

17:34

planet and your planet are in opposing

17:36

signs, say my son is in Leo

17:39

and your son is in Aquarius, those

17:41

are opposing signs. We're going to do

17:43

things very differently. but maybe

17:45

you also have

17:47

a have a Leo. Leo.

17:49

then it's like, it's

17:51

well, that part of

17:54

you and this

17:56

part of me part

17:58

each other. And in

18:00

this other part

18:02

of you, the of

18:04

part of you is

18:06

like, of you, you

18:08

guys always need so

18:11

much attention. need so much You

18:13

know, and so there's so there's

18:15

parts of you of you, there's multiple

18:17

parts of me and all

18:19

of those parts come together. together when

18:21

when we come together and we have to see how they link

18:23

up. they link up. I think one of

18:25

the most important things is that I'm in

18:27

relationship with I'm the different parts

18:29

of myself. with all of the in a relationship

18:31

with the totality of me I'm in

18:33

that when you come along the totality

18:35

of me, so that me. come along

18:38

and are annoyed with me, trigger me.

18:40

me. applaud me me, all of

18:42

that. I still know who I am

18:44

I how I operate I'm not I'm not

18:47

depending on you for anything, but

18:49

I know very much how interdependent we

18:51

are and how we work together

18:53

and why we work together in that

18:55

way. way. So again, everything everything

18:58

has a distinct quality in your

19:00

chart. It's about you being in in

19:02

with those different things, those different placements.

19:04

And then everything in somebody else's

19:06

chart has a distinct quality. And it

19:08

is about how those things come

19:10

together, how they irritate each other, how

19:12

they how each other, each how they

19:14

applaud each other, how they might try

19:16

to drag each other down. I

19:18

didn't talk about Saturn, each but you

19:20

know, how they applaud each other, Saturn is opposing

19:22

your each other it might feel like, why

19:24

are they always you to like me

19:26

around or is opposing your living out feel like, why are But

19:28

then you have to be like, well, why would I

19:30

let them do that? why would I know, so

19:32

it's always these You know, so that

19:34

we want to be asking ourselves.

19:36

It's never about the signs. It's

19:38

not like, oh, that person. signs. It's not

19:41

like, a tourist, so I'm not gonna

19:43

get along with them to I'm a

19:45

Leo with something silly like that. silly

19:47

not a thing. It's like a thing. It's

19:49

a variety of a lot of things

19:51

of we have to. and we have

19:54

work. work relationship. relationship.

19:56

What is the relationship? How am

19:58

am I meeting the relationship? How

20:00

is this relationship fostering my best

20:03

and making me grow and do

20:05

I want to invest in it?

20:07

And then the astrology can reflect

20:09

certain things about it that are

20:11

helpful, hopefully. Hopefully, they help to

20:14

give us contacts for our relationship

20:16

issues and situations and blessings. One

20:18

thing to note. We did, I

20:20

did a... 2025 year ahead reading

20:22

for you. I look at each

20:25

quarter for you for your rising

20:27

sign because it's the most specific

20:29

way to look at how these

20:31

transits are impacting you, I believe.

20:33

You can also look at the

20:35

transit section in the Cheney app

20:38

to see where these big transits

20:40

are working for you, but the

20:42

first quarter of the year is

20:44

so huge. Most things happen in

20:46

March, March is like a banner

20:49

month. And I will say that

20:51

the first quarter, the second quarter,

20:53

and the third quarter of the

20:55

year hold massive changes because Saturn

20:57

is going to change sign. Well,

21:00

first, Neptune is going to change

21:02

sign, and then Saturn is going

21:04

to change sign, and then Uranus

21:06

is going to change sign. Also,

21:08

Jupiter will change signs. And Pluto

21:11

has already just changed signs. And

21:13

then we've got the nodes changing

21:15

signs. So we've got a new

21:17

round of eclipses coming. It's a

21:19

year of change. It's a year

21:22

of brand new chapters being opened

21:24

up, which means something for us

21:26

collectively, but of course means something

21:28

for you personally. When a planet

21:30

that takes so long to change

21:32

signs, like Neptune and Pluto and

21:35

Uranus, all change signs within a

21:37

couple months of each other, it's

21:39

a shocking situation. I can't remember

21:41

a year where this all happened

21:43

together. This is very unique to

21:46

2025. So we have

21:48

a change of

21:50

guard in a

21:52

lot of ways and

21:54

there is a

21:57

new area of

21:59

life or many

22:01

new areas of

22:03

life that we're

22:05

going to be

22:08

focusing on on this

22:10

year. There's like a new presence

22:12

new presence in town. the

22:14

year we're beginning the year

22:16

with a Mars going to We're then

22:18

gonna move into a Venus

22:20

retrograde as soon as Mars stations

22:22

direct. and And then we're gonna

22:24

have these major planetary shifts one

22:26

after the other. the So we

22:28

wanted you to be really

22:30

prepared. We have the

22:32

year ahead readings for you

22:35

for your sign once again. Every

22:38

quarter of the year is covered and

22:40

so it is an overarching look

22:42

at how to work with the year

22:44

for you quarter by quarter. And so

22:46

you can use those readings to really

22:48

think about, really this section of the

22:50

year, these 12 weeks, I want

22:52

to make sure I do this with

22:55

23:13
