What really happens when you stop dieting and start eating healthy? In this episode, we hear from two real people who spent years trying to “do the right thing” with food and still felt stuck. Today, we're joined by Becky and Mark, two ZOE members sharing their personal journeys. Each of them has spent the past two years consistently applying ZOE nutrition principles. Instead of relying on rules or restrictions, they embarked on a science-led journey with ZOE, focused on understanding their bodies. The results? Truly remarkable - ZOE became such an important part of their lives that, alongside 18,000 other members of our community, they became ZOE owners through our crowdfunding. So what changed, and did it last? Alongside Professors Tim Spector and Sarah Berry, we explore how Becky and Mark stay motivated and on track, the lessons they have learned, and the strategies they have used to feel more in control and more confident in their everyday choices. As well as some unexpected shifts along the way. It's a conversation about long-term change, not quick fixes, and you'll leave it with real-life examples of how to make healthy eating a part of your everyday life. If healthy eating wasn't about willpower or perfection, what small change would you start with? And what would help you take that first step this week? Unwrap the truth about your food
The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan. actualastronomy@gmail.com This month in episode 516 we talk about the many things to see in the night sky including, carbon stars, double stars, 24P Schaumasse is a Comet that just cracks 8th magnitude making it visible in binoculars. We also detail how people can explore Jupiter through a telescope followed by many NGC and Messier Objects you can see in the winter sky. Jan 1 - Struve 627 in Orion Colorful Double Star Primary Star (A component): Yellow, golden-yellow, pale orange, or sometimes just white. Companion Star (B component): Bluish, blue-green, lilac, or pale green. Jan 2 - 40 Harmonia at opposition a large S-type (silicate) asteroid located in the inner region of the Main Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter. Discovery: It was discovered on March 31, 1856, by German-French astronomer Hermann Goldschmidt. Naming: It is named after Harmonia, the Greek goddess of harmony and peace, to mark the end of the Crimean War. Size: It has a mean diameter of approximately 111.3 kilometers (69.1 miles), making it larger than 99% of all known asteroids. Orbit: Harmonia orbits the Sun every 3.42 years (approx. 1,250 days) with a relatively low eccentricity of 0.046, meaning its path is nearly circular. Rotation: It completes one full rotation on its axis every 8.91 hours Jan 3 - Full Moon - Quadrantid Meteors ZHR = 120 in Evening for NA observers - Moon interferes They are named after Quadrans Muralis, a 19th-century constellation that is no longer officially recognized. Constellation Origin: Lalande created the constellation to honor the mural quadrant, a large wall-mounted scientific instrument he and his nephew used at the observatory of l'École Militaire in Paris to measure star positions. Location: It was situated in the northern sky between the modern constellations of Boötes, Draco, and Hercules, near the "handle" of the Big Dipper (Ursa Major). Decline: In 1922, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) omitted Quadrans Muralis when it formalized the official list of 88 modern constellations, reassigning its stars to neighboring constellations Jan 5 - Sig Orionis colorful double star Sigma Orionis AB: This is the brightest component of the system and is a very close binary that appears as one star in most amateur telescopes. It is actually a triple system itself (Aa, Ab, and B). The primary stars (Aa and Ab) are highly massive, very hot blue stars that orbit each other every 143 days. The outer component (B) orbits the inner pair every 157 years. Sigma Orionis C, D, and E: These are additional companion stars that are farther from the AB pair and can be observed with small-to-medium sized telescopes, making the system appear as a beautiful quartet or quintuple system. Component D is magnitude 6.62 and is about 13 arcseconds from the AB pair. Component E is magnitude 6.66 and is approximately 41 arcseconds away. This star is notable as the prototype of the rare "helium-rich" stars. Jan 6 - Regulus 0.5-degrees South of Moon Jan 8 - 24P Schaumasse Comet just cracks 8th magnitude, at Mag. 7.9 it is firmly a Bino comet Jan 10 - Last Quarter - Jupiter at Opposition - mag. -2.5, 46 arc seconds in Gemini GRS looks nice and Orange/Red NEB and SEB are prominent How to best observe?

As we embrace resolutions and light up the skies with fireworks, it's time to mark the arrival of the New Year! All of us on the Do You Really Know team, hoping you soaked in the holiday vibes and send you our warm wishes for a splendid 2024. Today, planet Earth has set off on another full orbit around the sun, a journey which will span 365 days until we hit the reset button again next year. And that's why we now refer to January 1st as New Year's Day. But bear in mind, that wasn't always the case. We can trace back our calendar roots to the Romans and their initial 355-day calendar. That's right: 355, and not the 365 we're used to these days. That lunar-based system was credited to Numa Pompilius, the legendary second King of Rome, who succeeded Romulus. And it saw the New Year kick off in March, a nod to Mars, the Roman god of war. When did January 1st appear then? What about elsewhere in the world? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary | Astronomy, Space & Science News
SpaceTime with Stuart Gary - Series 28 Episode 154In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore significant milestones in lunar exploration and the latest challenges in space technology.Accelerated Launch for Artemis 2NASA has moved up the launch date for the historic Artemis 2 manned moon mission to early February, marking the first human journey to the moon in over 50 years since Apollo 17. The Orion spacecraft, named Integrity, will embark on a 10-day mission, completing a free return trajectory around the moon. This episode discusses the mission's objectives, including in-space demonstrations and the deployment of five cubesats, as well as the importance of this mission for future lunar exploration and potential Mars missions.New Insights from Lunar Rock SamplesRecent studies of lunar rock samples have revealed a new timeline for lunar impacts, pushing back the history of Earth's nearest celestial neighbour by 300 million years. The Apollo 17 rock sample, known as 76535, has provided crucial insights into the moon's formation and its geological history. Advanced computer simulations suggest that the impact that formed the Serenitatis Basin may have brought this rock to the surface, reshaping our understanding of the moon's bombardment history and its implications for Earth.Japan's H3 Rocket FailureThe Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has faced a setback with the failure of its new H3 rocket during a satellite launch. This follows a previous failure during its maiden flight. The H3 rocket, designed to replace the H2, aims to enhance Japan's capabilities in the global space market but has encountered significant technical challenges.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesGeophysical Research LettersNASA ReportsJAXA UpdatesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) This is Space Time Series 28, Episode 154 for broadcast on 31 December 2025(00:00:47) NASA accelerates Artemis 2 moon mission launch(00:12:30) New lunar rock samples shift timeline of impacts(00:20:10) Japan's H3 rocket fails to deploy satellite(00:25:00) Study reveals links between social media use and cognitive performance in children(00:27:30) Coffee and tea's effects on bone health in older women

Listen until the end of the episode to get your Sun Sign forecast for January. Here are the key dates: 1/1- 1/20 Mercury transits Capricorn 1/3 CANCER FULL MOON 1/17 Venus transits Aquarius 1/18 Aquarius New Moon 1/20-2/6 Mercury transits Aquarius 1/23 Mars transits Aquarius 1/26 Neptune transits into Aries It's going to be an unprecedented astrological year, as 5 major planets change signs and the Lunar Nodes shift into the Aquarius- Leo axis within the first 7 months of 2026. All this astrology means for a wacky and wild 2026. There are three Mercury retrograde cycles:Feb 26 – Mar 20, Jun 29 – Jul 23, Oct 24 – Nov 13. Major Eclipses in 2026: Annular Solar Feb 17, 2026; Total Lunar Mar 3, 2026; Total Solar Aug 12, 2026; Partial Lunar Aug 27–28, 2026. The February and March eclipses coincide with Mercury retrograde, Check out my previous podcast episode I recorded with Hilary Harley for more on the first six months of 2026. A major planetary shift occurs at the end of the month when Neptune shifts into Aries on 1/26 for the next 12 years. Slow-moving Neptune initiates a new long-term cycle of societal shifts that will bring new ideals, inventions, inspirations and creative impulses within the collective consciousness signifying — a generational shift that highlights creative action, and separating illusion from reality. January is an action packed month which will feel like two months because there's a marked difference between the beginning of the month and the end of the month. Early January is marked by a stellium of Capricorn planets including the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars morphed into Mountain goats climbing that mountain of karma. Then the gang goes gaga for Aquarius, as they all launch into Aquarian airspace the third week in Aquarius, with Venus kicking off the Airy fun fest on 1/17, joined by the Moon in Aquarius on 1/18 after the New Moon in Capricorn occurs that afternoon. Aquarian action amps up as the Sun transits in on 1/19, Mercury on 1/20 and Mars joins the cosmic party in time for my birthday on 1/23. Pluto is there welcoming them into the fold. I'll explain more later in the episode what the Aquarian Army means for us. In early January the Capricornian cluster makes it a powerful month for structuring your life, focusing on your ambitions and potential to achieve worldly or material goals. — a powerful time for career moves, organization, and success orientation. Mars mobilizes in Capricorn where he is exalted until 1/23 which gives drive, discipline and leadership energy. Mars makes it easier to initiate new plans, take on challenges and show up in life. Jupiter retrograde in comfy Cancer continues throughout January allowing for deep dives into the psyche to seek security emotionally and anchor into value systems which will go the distance. Neptune nudges forward into Aries on 1/26 leaving a Pisces puddle of delusions and illusions in its wake. Neptune's entrance into Aries on Jan 26 marks a long-term spiritual and identity shift.

Send us a textThe Moon has a history longer than any of the features on Earth, but it isn't as old as Earth. The Giant Impact hypothesis says that a Mars sized protoplanet collided with earth Billions of years ago and threw out enough of earth's mantle to make the Moon. It's an incredible story, and it might just have been the luckiest thing that ever happened for us. Without the Moon, life as we know it might never have existed.Follow Cosmic Coffee Time on X for some special contentX.com/CosmicCoffTimeEmail us! cosmiccoffeetime@gmail.comYou can request a topic for the show!

The year ahead astrology forecast for 2026, with predictions about the major planetary alignments taking place over the next twelve months, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We spend the first half of the episode giving a big picture overview of the most important planetary alignments in 2026, and then in the second half we dive into a month by month breakdown of the astrology of the next year. This is episode 517 of The Astrology Podcast. Overview of the Astrology of 2026 The year opens with Saturn and Neptune departing from Pisces and moving into the tropical zodiac sign of Aries, where they form an exact conjunction with each other in February, marking the peak of the reality distortion field. February and March sees the start of our first eclipse season, with a solar eclipse in Aquarius in February, followed by a lunar eclipse in Virgo in early March, marking the beginning of a new eclipse series of major endings and beginnings in Leo-Aquarius while the Virgo-Pisces series winds down. The Saturn-Neptune conjunct is reactivated in April when Mars enters that sign and forms a quadruple conjunction with Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and Neptune. Later in April the planet Uranus moves into the sign of Gemini where it will stay until 2033, thus marking the full onset of the Uranus return of the United States. This Uranus transit through Gemini reaches a critical and explosive turning point around July 4, when Mars conjoins Uranus in Gemini, which is the first in a series of four pivotal conjunctions between now and 2032. Jupiter spends the first half of the year wrapping up its transit through the sign of exaltation in Cancer, with one of the main highlights being an auspicious Venus-Jupiter conjunction in early June, but then in the second half of the year Jupiter moves into Leo and begins a series of alignments that will put the spotlight on that sign in late 2026 and early 2027. In August we get our second eclipse season of the year, with a solar eclipse in the sign of Leo, followed by a lunar eclipse in the sign of Pisces, thus fully inaugurating the Leo-Aquarius eclipse series. There is a messy Venus retrograde in the signs of Libra and Scorpio in October and November, and then the year closes with Mars getting ready to station retrograde in Leo and Virgo, leaving us on a cliffhanger that leads into the beginning of 2027. 2026 Electional Astrology Report https://theastrologypodcast.com/2026report/ Astrotheoros https://astrotheoros.com Use the code ASTROLOGYPOD to get a free month of the program!

Louise Edington discusses the upcoming out of bounds Cancer full moon on January 3, 2026, highlighting its significance for the USA as it falls on the degree of the USA's Sun. She notes the presence of Mars, Venus, and Mercury out of bounds, with Mercury out of bounds until January 15, Venus until the full moon day, and Mars until January 4. Louise emphasizes the transformative power of the number 13, its mystical meanings, and the potential for structural changes. She also mentions importance of self-care and community during this period of intense astrological activity.
Cancer Full Moon • January 3, 2026 This Cancer Full Moon brings a powerful culmination and emotional reckoning as the Moon in Cancer opposes the Sun in Capricorn. This lunation highlights the polarity between care and control, nourishment and authority, feeling and responsibility. The Moon is strong in her home sign and conjunct Sirius, the spiritual Sun, heightening intuition, emotional truth, and higher guidance. Within hours, the Moon joins Jupiter in Cancer, amplifying compassion, emotional wisdom, and the potential for healing. Opposite the Moon, a rare Capricorn stellium—the Sun conjunct Mars and Venus, alongside Quaoar and Pholus—marks a rebalancing of divine masculine and feminine energies and reveals tipping points where small choices carry lasting consequences. A Cardinal Grand Cross, involving Salacia in Aries and Makemake in Libra, brings urgency, initiation, and the call to act differently. Meanwhile, Uranus conjunct Algol and Sedna exposes illusion, deception, and outdated survival patterns. This Full Moon invites emotional honesty, sovereign care, and the courage to integrate power with tenderness—personally and collectively.

E.T., is that you - or just microbes on Mars?
Many people in our modern world rarely if ever experience night vision. To achieve this interesting state of sensory awareness you cannot look at your cell phone or any other source of bright light for 30 to 45 minutes. Your night vision comes about over time because the rod sensors in the retina of your eye undergo a chemical change when they are placed in total darkness. The process starts immediately but takes 20 to 30 minutes to get 80% of maximum sensitivity. The night vision process can be reversed in seconds by exposure to a bright light. In it's most sensitive state your eye can function with a billion times less light than is present in strong sunlight enabling you to see a candle flame from 1.6 miles away.

For his latest book, "The Martians: The True Story of an Alien Craze that Captured Turn of the Century America," David Baron looked into one source of that fascination: a Harvard astronomer named Percival Lowell.
A new lawsuit is questioning the “microwave safe” and “freezer safe” claims of Ziploc plastic bags. The lawsuit against S.C. Johnson alleged that these claims for its Ziploc brand products are misleading, and that these uses of the products increase risk of exposure to microplastics. MARS: RESTORING ASIA'S CORAL REEFS FOR MARINE CONSERVATION Mars sustainable solutions has led one of the largest single coral restoration efforts to date in the Spermonde Archipelago, Sulawesi. The project, known as 'the big build', saw partners from government, NGOS, business and local communities work side by side to install a 2,500m² reef and outplant 30,000 corals in the heart of the coral triangle, a nature-rich area of tropical waters in Southeast Asia.

Is this the end, beautiful friend? Karri and Henrik swim down memory lane, going through all their most memorable moments from the podcast over 7 years and 200 episodes. Time to pop the champagne! Over the years, the duo has made observations about the natural evolution of the show. In its humble beginnings, the episodes followed a strict scene-by-scene analysis and near-obsessive levels of breakdown - from the tiniest technical details such as Michael Myers' gait in Halloween 4 (1988), to theories about space-travel times and synodic planetary alignments in A Trip to Mars (1918), or the merciless tear-down of Cubby Broccoli's science facts in Moonraker (1979). While contextual analysis has always played a noticeable role in The Flick Lab, the episodes have increasingly detached themselves from technically intimate film analysis and shifted toward cultural, thematic, and socio-political readings. With this in mind, what does it all mean regarding the future of the podcast? Karri has spent extraordinary amounts of time trying to find the answer. Now, the answer has arrived. The pair also touch on topics such as obscure films, episode length, radio vs. podcasting, ignoring the audience to remain truthful to yourself, why the podcast is still here, mad and unhealthy podcast enthusiasm, reading vs. internet addiction, cynicism in cinema, and what was gained vs. what was given.

STARLINK: THE ECONOMIC ENGINE FOR MARS Colleague Eric Berger. To finance the massive costs of the Mars program, SpaceX developed Starlink, a constellation of thousands of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites designed to provide global internet. While previous attempts at LEO constellations were deemed impractical due to manufacturing challenges, SpaceX is now operating thousands of satellites, outpacing sovereign nations and competitors like Amazon's Kuiper. This aggressive expansion relies on the reusable Block 5 Falcon 9 boosters to launch dozens of satellites at once, generating the revenue necessary to build the Starship architecture. NUMBER 6 SEPTEMBER 1955
STARSHIP: THE FULLY REUSABLE ARCHITECTURE FOR MARS Colleague Eric Berger. At Boca Chica, Texas, SpaceX transformed a swamp into "Starbase," a modern rocket factory for the Starship and Super Heavy launch system. Starship represents the endgame of Musk's vision: a fully reusable rocket larger than the Saturn V, designed to be caught by "chopstick" arms on the launch tower to eliminate landing legs and speed up reuse. The plan involves orbital refueling and launching fleets of ships every two years to transport massive amounts of cargo, serving as a "Grand Central Station" for deep space colonization. NUMBER 8 1921 FRANCE
THE AUDACITY OF THE MARS COLONIZATION VISION Colleague Eric Berger. In September 2016, Elon Musk presented a vision in Guadalajara that sounded like science fiction: a plan to colonize Mars to prevent a potential extinction event. Despite a recent rocket explosion, Musk proposed a "grandiose architecture" involving massive reusable rockets designed to transport a million tons of supplies and thousands of people to build a self-sustaining civilization. While skeptics viewed the timeline as unrealistic, the plan relied on established physics and the production of methane fuel on Mars. Musk's ultimate goal for SpaceX remains clearly focused on making humanity multi-planetary. NUMBER 1 AUGUST 1953
RISKING IT ALL TO DOCK DRAGON WITH THE ISS Colleague Eric Berger. To fund its Mars ambitions, SpaceX needed NASA contracts to deliver cargo to the International Space Station (ISS) using the Dragon spacecraft. Unlike traditional capsules, Dragon integrated propulsion directly into the vehicle to support future reusability. Behind schedule, SpaceX combined two test missions (C2 and C3) into one high-stakes attempt. During the approach, the spacecraft's LIDAR navigation system faltered, forcing NASA flight director Holly Ridings to make a "brave call": she allowed SpaceX to rewrite software on the fly, defying standard mission rules to achieve a successful docking.

In this episode of Future Tech, filmmaker Jason Sherman speaks with Al Holland, NASA's longtime senior operational psychologist, about the human systems behind spaceflight. Holland helped shape how astronauts are selected, trained, and supported for long-duration missions, including the International Space Station and future missions to Mars. Drawing from decades of experience at NASA, Holland discusses how astronauts were selected and trained for long-duration missions, why teamwork and self-regulation matter as much as technical skill, and how isolation, sleep disruption, and separation from family quietly shape performance in space. He also reflects on early astronaut training at places like the Johnsville Centrifuge and how lessons from Cold War research continue to influence modern missions to the International Space Station and future journeys to Mars. This conversation is part of the ongoing research and storytelling behind the documentary “Before the Moon”, which explores the hidden places, people, and systems that made human spaceflight possible.
Cosmic Q&A: Light in Space, Astronaut Shielding, and Ice GiantsIn this engaging Q&A edition of Space Nuts, hosts Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson tackle intriguing listener questions that delve into the mysteries of space. From the visibility of Voyager 1 in the depths of the solar system to the challenges of shielding astronauts from cosmic radiation, this episode is a treasure trove of cosmic knowledge.Episode Highlights:- Light in Space: Lee from New York City poses a thought-provoking question about how much light exists in space. Andrew and Fred explore the visibility of Voyager 1 and the implications of being far from the Sun, shedding light on human eye sensitivity and the ambient light from stars.- Shielding Astronauts: Fenton from St. Paul, Minnesota, raises an important question about protecting astronauts from radiation beyond the Van Allen Belt. The hosts discuss potential technologies, including superconducting electromagnets and the surprising effectiveness of hydrogen-rich materials like water as radiation shields.- Moon Comparisons: Robert from Vienna, Austria, wonders how our understanding of the solar system would differ if Earth had a moon like Europa or Titan, rather than our heavily cratered moon. The discussion highlights the significance of craters in understanding planetary history and the feasibility of landing on such moons.- Ice Giants Explained: Duncan from Weymouth, UK, questions why Uranus and Neptune are termed "ice giants" instead of "rock giants." Andrew and Fred clarify the definitions and characteristics that distinguish these planets from their gas giant counterparts, emphasizing the unique atmospheric compositions.For more Space Nuts, including our continuously updating newsfeed and to listen to all our episodes, visit our website.

Quietmind Astrology — Learn Vedic Astrology with Jeremy Devens
Plan your year in sync with astrology at MindfulNewYear.comIn this episode of the Quietmind Astrology Podcast, we explore the unique energy of the final week of December 2025 - that awkward in-between time where one year ends and the next begins. With a powerful Stellium in Sagittarius (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars), the cosmos is inviting us to explore, learn, and expand our horizons before the practical energy of Capricorn sets in mid-January.We also dive into the upcoming Full Moon in Ardra Nakshatra on January 3rd, a time ripe for emotional catharsis, "stormy" transformative energy, and intellectual breakthroughs. Learn why New Year's resolutions often fail, how to use the "GPS Method" for spiritual manifestation, and how to navigate information overload in the modern age.Key Takeaways & Timestamps00:00 – The "In-Between" Week & The 2026 FrequencyWe start by acknowledging the awkward limbo between Christmas and New Year's, a time often marked by confusion on where to focus. However, energetically, we are already shifting from the 2025 frequency of endings and completion into the 2026 frequency of possibility, expansion, and new creation (a 1 year in vedic numerology). 01:08 – Sagittarius Stellium: A Time for ExplorationA major Stellium is occurring in Sagittarius involving Mercury, Venus, the Sun, and Mars. This alignment emphasizes exploration, learning, and growth, making it an excellent week for working with mentors, studying philosophy, or traveling to new places, even if just exploring a new part of your local town. 02:04 – Reviewing the Year with MercuryWith Mercury (the intellect) in Sagittarius, now is the ideal time to review the past year: what went well, what didn't, and what lessons were learned. Depending on your rising sign, this energy highlights different areas of life, such as relationships (7th House) or creativity and children (5th House). 04:34 – Why New Year's Resolutions FailResolutions often fade by February because we set them during the fun, expansive energy of Sagittarius, but fail to maintain them when the sun moves into the practical, work-oriented energy of Capricorn in mid-January. To make goals stick, we must be prepared to transition from "dreaming big" to "doing the work." 06:54 – The GPS Method for ManifestationRather than viewing goals as a linear struggle, think of them like a GPS: identify Point A (current reality) and Point B (desired outcome). Spiritually, the shortest distance isn't a line but a single point; by embodying the frequency of your goal now (happiness, excitement), you attract that reality faster and with less resistance. 13:51 – Full Moon in Ardra (January 3rd)We transition into the New Year with a Full Moon in Ardra Nakshatra (Gemini). Ruled by Rudra, the storm god, this energy brings emotional storms and tears that cleanse and purify, much like rain after a drought. Expect opportunities for deep emotional catharsis, truth-telling, and intellectual breakthroughs. 16:12 – Managing Nervous Energy & Information OverloadThe combination of Gemini and Mercury can lead to nervous system agitation and information overload - a common challenge in the AI age. If you feel triggered or overwhelmed, prioritize nervous system regulation (yoga, meditation) and focus only on information relevant to your current life stage or Dasha (e.g., service during a Saturn period).

This is the week where Sagittarius season packs up its emotional carry-on and Capricorn season quietly locks the door behind it. Not slams it. Locks it. We're moving out of the big-idea, big-feeling, “anything could happen” energy and into something far less glamorous and far more powerful: deciding what actually deserves to last. Mars is already in Capricorn, which means the engine's been running for a minute. Now the Sun joins it, and Venus follows midweek, and suddenly the vibe becomes: okay, cool—now what are we doing with all of this? What are we building, not fantasizing about?Key moments of the week:Sun, Dec. 21: Sun enters Capricorn Sun, Dec. 21: Venus in Sagittarius squares Saturn in PiscesSun, Dec. 21: Jupiter in Cancer (retrograde) squares Chiron in AriesWed, Dec. 24: Venus in Sagittarius squares Neptune in PiscesWed, Dec. 24: Venus enters CapricornSat, Dec. 27: Mercury in Sagittarius trines Chiron in AriesTo read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app

January 2026 opens with an extraordinary astrological landscape — one that invites reflection, choice, and conscious participation.In this episode, we explore a rare continuation of out-of-bounds planetary activity, with the Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars all operating beyond their usual limits in the opening days of the year. When planets go out of bounds, they behave with fewer internal restraints, offering powerful opportunities to act, create, decide, and respond in new ways — if we're paying attention.You'll hear about: What out-of-bounds planets mean in astrology, and how to work with them intentionally How Mercury, Venus, and Mars out of bounds in Capricorn may challenge habits, plans, and self-control Why Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) are especially activated this month Emotional intelligence as a resource while the Moon repeatedly goes out of bounds in Cancer How different Cardinal signs may experience these energies internally and relationally January also carries the final phase of the Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Pisces, a long transit associated with disillusionment, endings, grief, realism, and the reshaping of dreams. As Neptune prepares to leave Pisces for the last time in our lifetime, this episode reflects on what it means to allow something to dissolve — and how acceptance can quietly prepare the ground for a new foundation.Along the way, we draw inspiration from music and myth, including reflections on Roy Orbison, whose Saturn–Neptune signature speaks poignantly to the tension between dreams and reality.This forecast also covers: A powerful run of stelliums from Capricorn into Aquarius A rare six-planet, double-sign stellium around January 19 How to work with intense concentrations of planetary energy through focus and leadership A brief but meaningful opposition to Jupiter, highlighting themes of polarization, excess, and negotiation The shift from Capricorn's managerial intelligence to Aquarius' visionary design This episode is best enjoyed as a contemplative listen — whether you're reflecting on your own chart, navigating change in your life, or simply tuning into the larger collective moment as we cross fully into 2026.To explore these themes further, you're invited to join upcoming conversations and webinars featured on the Astrology University events calendar.Take care of yourself, stay connected to what matters, and remember: astrology doesn't tell us what will happen — it helps us understand how to meet what's happening with greater awareness, choice, and compassion.
This week, we cover seven transits—including Mercury entering Capricorn on January 1st, Chiron stationing direct in Aries, and a Full Moon in Cancer—as 2026 begins with rare alignment: Mars, the Sun, and Venus in Capricorn all forming sextiles to the North Node in Pisces.But first, a reflection on the Sean Combs documentary The Reckoning—not to pile on, but to sit with what it stirred up in me as an astrologer who shares key placements with him. What separates transformation from destruction? What happens when Scorpio's intensity finds the shadow instead of the light? And as Pluto enters Aquarius for the next 20 years, is the era of the untouchable star finally ending?Plus: the nine-year numerology cycle begins, and I share where I was in 2017 versus now—and invite you to do the same.(2:18) Astrological reflections on the Sean Combs: The Reckoning(24:11) Mars in Capricorn Sextile the North Node Retrograde in Pisces 11° – December 26 – 31 (Friday – Wednesday) – Monday, December 29.(26:53) Mercury in Sagittarius Square Saturn in Pisces 26° – December 25 – 28 (Thursday – Sunday) – December 28 – 31 (Sunday – Wednesday) – Monday, December 29.(34:56) Mercury in Capricorn – January 1 – 20, 2026Dates that Mercury transited through Capricorn previously:January 8 – 27, 2025January 13 – February 4, 2024December 6, 2022 – February 11, 2023December 13, 2021 – January 2, 2022(40:50) The Sun in Capricorn Sextile the North Node Retrograde in Pisces 10° – December 29 – January 2 (Monday – Friday) – Thursday, January 1.Venus in Capricorn Sextile the North Node Retrograde in Pisces 10° – December 31 – January 2 (Wednesday – Friday) – Thursday, January 1.(48:40) Chiron Direct in Aries 22°35' April 5, 2025 – Chiron Enters its Retrograde Shadow in Aries 22°35' (Same day that Saturn entered its Retrograde Shadow in Pisces 25°02')July 30, 2025 – Chiron Retrograde in Aries 27°09'January 2, 2026 – Chiron Direct in Aries 22°35'April 25, 2026 – Chiron Exits its Retrograde Shadow in Aries 27°09'(56:11) The Full Moon in Cancer 13° at 2:02 AM PST on Saturday, January 3, 2026.Get the 2026 Astrology GuideJoin my Substackhttps://www.theweeklytransit.com/
This final week of the year carries a sober, luminous tone. Mind, faith, and healing are tested against reality, mystery, and emotional truth. What remains after illusion falls away is not certainty—but something more trustworthy.Mon, Dec 29 — Mercury in Sagittarius square Saturn in PiscesBeliefs meet consequence. Words meet responsibility. This is a moment to discern which truths can be lived—and which were aspirational but ungrounded. Sobriety sharpens wisdom.Reflection Question: Which beliefs am I being asked to mature, simplify, or release as this year closes?Thur, Jan 1 — Mercury in Sagittarius square Neptune in PiscesVision blurs, certainty dissolves. This is not confusion for its own sake, but an invitation to loosen the grip on meaning-making and listen for subtler guidance. Not all truth arrives in words.Reflection Question: Where can I loosen my grip on meaning and allow deeper truth to emerge without forcing clarity?Fri, Jan 2 — Chiron turns direct in AriesAfter months of inner review, the work of healing identity turns outward again. This marks the final full retrograde chapter of Chiron in Aries—an initiation nearly complete.Reflection Question: What kind of courage now feels rooted rather than reactive?Sat, Jan 3 — Full Moon at 13° Cancer (Sun conjunct Venus & Mars in Capricorn | Moon conjunct Jupiter in Cancer)Emotional truth swells against structures of duty and ambition. What nourishes you seeks recognition—not as indulgence, but as essential fuel for the road ahead.Reflection Question: What does emotional nourishment ask me to protect and prioritize as I step into the year ahead?Podcast Poem: How the Light Comes by Jan RichardsonSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

In this episode of So Divine!, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for January. They begin with a peek into what's ahead in 2026, including the dramatic Saturn/Neptune Conjunction in Aries, which offers a cosmic sense of a new beginning. Looking at this month's astrological inspirations, they begin by discussing Chiron stationing direct and how this may trigger our "ouch spots” as well as offer us an opportunity for healing. They talk about Venus and Mars dancing together in Capricorn, each forming potent cazimis as they oppose Jupiter in Cancer; with this, we're invited to find growth and possibility through weaving together the the feminine and masculine, love and desire. They discuss the shift of planets into Aquarius that occurs later in the month and how with their making a union with Pluto, we're brought into a sphere of intensity, encouraged to excavate what resides below the surface in service of deep transformation. Additionally, they explore this month's lunations: the Cancer Full Moon and Capricorn New Moon. Stephanie picks a Tarot card at random--the Chariot--and Megan explains how this archetype inspires us to get moving on actualizing our dreams and going after our goals using our intuition to guide us.
The Astrology for January 2026, with Decembers Reflection The Energy of January screams Power Moves, Soft Hearts & Revolutionary EnergyJanuary 2026 kicks off the year with no hesitation. This month blends emotional depth, Capricorn grind, and Aquarius rebellion, asking us to build solid foundations and question the systems we're standing on.We begin the year with mixed signals as Mercury clashes with Neptune, reminding us to slow our words and choose peace over petty. As Mercury enters Capricorn on January 1, clarity returns and New Year's intentions become strategic plans. Chiron moving direct in Aries on January 2 opens a powerful healing portal around identity, confidence, and inner-child wounds.The Cancer Full Moon on January 3 softens the pace, pulling us inward to nurture home, family, and emotional security. This moon reminds us that rest is part of success — you can't pour from an empty cup.From January 6 through mid-month, Capricorn energy dominates. With Venus, Mars, Mercury, and the Sun activating this sign, the focus turns to ambition, commitment, money, and long-term goals. These transits support power couples, career moves, financial discipline, and building something that lasts. While indulgence and overconfidence peak around January 9–10, the message is balance — pleasure is allowed, excess is optional.The New Moon in Capricorn on January 18 is one of the most important manifestation moments of the month. This lunation is about planting seeds for career growth, legacy, leadership, and tangible success. If you're ready to climb a new mountain in 2026, this is your starting line.Mid-month also brings a major energetic shift as Venus enters Aquarius on January 17, followed by the Sun on January 19. The focus moves from personal ambition to community, friendships, innovation, and collective change. Powerful alignments involving Pluto, Saturn, Uranus, and Mars highlight networking, revolutionary ideas, and calculated risks that can lead to long-term rewards.January 19 is especially charged, emphasizing leadership through collaboration, community power, and future-focused thinking. Friendships deepen, social circles transform, and the right connections open unexpected doors.As the month closes, Mars conjunct Pluto in Aquarius pushes deep personal and collective reinvention, while Mercury and Venus bring warmth, connection, and community support back into focus.About the Host: Katherine is an esteemed practitioner of Chakra, Astrology, and Tarot Alchemy, harnessing the cosmic forces and energies to manifest magic and success.As the visionary behind the acclaimed Chakras & Cusswords Podcast, she curates an oasis for the contemporary mystic, guiding seekers on a transformative journey of self-discovery.

December 29, 2025 – January 4, 2026Full Moon in Cancer • New Year Timeline ShiftWe're closing out 2025 in true Taurus-to-Gemini style — steady one minute, buzzing with ideas the next. The energy this week starts grounded, gets chatty, and then turns deeply emotional as we build toward a powerful Full Moon in Cancer on January 3rd.This isn't just any full moon — it hits at 13° Cancer, the exact degree Jupiter retrogrades back to. That means whatever rises now is tied to expansion, healing, and something that will matter long after this week is over. Pay attention to where 13° Cancer lands in your chart. That house is calling you forward.We're also working with Mars, Mercury, Venus, and the Sun all making moves that feel like:“You can't take the old mindset into the new year.”And it's true — this week sorts what's staying, what's gone, and what your soul is actually aligned with now.New Year's Eve feels social but not chaotic. New Year's Day feels intuitive, sensitive, and full of subtle turning points.
