The Week of December 8th, 2025: Friction meets focus with Mars and Saturn

Episode 260

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 8th, 2025, gets crunchy. Mars (the planet of action) and Saturn (the planet of limits) square off, causing friction between what we want to do and what we have to. And Mercury (the cosmic communicator) opposes Uranus (the revolutionary), sparking disruptive conversations. Our job? Drown out the noise and stay focused on our priorities. And remember: You don’t have to do it alone. Ask for help and see who comes through.

This episode covers:

Mars’ square to Saturn on Monday, December 8th
The end of Neptune’s retrograde on Wednesday, December 10th
Mercury’s opposition to Uranus on Wednesday, December 10th
Venus’ square to the lunar nodes on Wednesday, December 10th
Mercury’s trine to Neptune on Thursday, December 11th
Mercury’s entrance into Sagittarius on Thursday, December 11th
Mercury’s sextile to Pluto on Saturday, December 13th
Mars’ entrance into Capricorn on Sunday, December 14th
