This week: Happy Holidays!... and quieter skies, as the universe offers a bit of a holiday reprieve. Venus and Neptune challenge beliefs about relationships and our values. Venus puts on her investor hat as she goes to work in Capricorn. There is a sizzling First Quarter Moon in Aries, and a listener question about how AI may impact the field of astrology. Plus: Working things out, a new tradition, and the case for consulting humans. Note: We're taking a little holiday break, so there will be NO PODCAST ON DEC. 29. But we'll be back on January 5 to help you ring in the New Year! Read a full transcript of this episode. Have a question you'd like answered on the show? Email April or leave it here!

Timestamps [1:44] Venus squares Neptune (Dec. 23, 9:31 pm PST) at 29°25' Sagittarius-Pisces. When there's a square aspect between Venus and Neptune, we can achieve clarity about relationships, finances, or values, and let go of the things and people that drain us. [4:45] Venus enters the sign of Capricorn (Dec. 24, 8:26 am PST), and it'll be in this sign until Jan. 17, 2026. This is a practical Venus that wants relationships that are stable and solid, based on shared values, shared goals. [8:14] Moon Report! The Aries First Quarter Moon (Dec. 27, 11:10 am PST) is at 6°17' Aries-Capricorn. This is the first action point in the New Moon cycle that began at the Dec. 19 New Moon in Sagittarius. Consider things before dashing off to get something done. [11:36] This is the First Quarter (first action point) in a lunar phase family cycle (LPFC) that began with the New Moon solar eclipse of Mar. 29, 2025, at 9°00' Aries. The Full Moon (awareness point) in this LPFC comes on Sept. 26, 2026, at 3°37' Aries. The Last Quarter (final action point) in this LPFC is on June 26, 2027, at 5°21' Aries. [13:21] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. The Moon in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces (Dec. 22, 6:44 am PST). It's VOC for 1 hour, 8 minutes, then enters Aquarius (7:52 am PST). Use this VOC Moon period to get in the habit of going with the flow, instead of insisting that your way is the best and the only way. This VOC could also help your spiritual practice. [14:57] The Moon in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus (Dec. 24, 1:42 pm PST). It's VOC for 3 hours, 27 minutes, then enters Pisces (5:09 pm). There might be an unexpected desire to introduce a new holiday tradition. Use this VOC period to get in the habit of letting down your guard when it comes to traditions and welcome something fresh and new, maybe even something a little bit innovative. [16:36] The Moon conjuncts Neptune in Pisces (Dec. 26, 11:03 pm PST). It's VOC for 59 minutes and then enters Aries (Dec. 27, 12:02 am PST). Take a lovely bath, listen to music, or even watch a sentimental movie. Use this VOC Moon period to get in the habit of some healthy escapism. [18:03] Listener Elizabeth asks about how AI may impact the field of astrology.

Following our popular podcast last year of the original trilogy and its impact on the survival horror genre, we return to examine the most influential RE title on the wider gaming industry - Resident Evil 4. 20 years since its original release, the mechanics of the gaming loop have impacted so many titles, that we felt it prudent to take a closer look at the horror games that came after with recommendations and a healthy discussion of other games too. Join Rombie, Neptune, Stars TyranT and a delighted George Trevor as we chat all things Silent Hill, Cold Fear, Dead Space and many more as we bring down our curtain on 20 years of Biohazard4. We are also joined by special guest Brandon Salisbury to celebrate the release of his George Romero documentary whilst teasing up and coming projects with RE alumni.

Send us a textBook a reading with Jill:  www.jilljardineastrology.comInstagram: Cosmicscenewithjilljardine Astrologer Hilary Harley: www.hilaryharley.comThe sky flips the script in 2026, and you can feel the torque. We move from years of dense earth-and-water drag into the fast lanes of air and fire, where ideas travel farther, tech and transit evolve, and courage becomes a daily practice. With Pluto settling into Aquarius, Neptune and Saturn igniting Aries, and Uranus blasting into Gemini, the first half of the year accelerates timelines and demands clear choices.We walk through the big arcs and the exact dates that matter. January offers a final Capricorn cleanout before an Aquarian influx invites upgrades, collaboration, and bold thinking. February is the crucible: a Leo full moon, an Aquarius new moon solar eclipse, Uranus stationing direct, and Saturn entering Aries—all while Mercury readies a retrograde. The message is not panic, but preparation. Build buffers, double-check logistics, and use grounded rituals to steady your nervous system.March reframes the narrative. A total lunar eclipse across Virgo-Pisces highlights health, healing, and policy, then Jupiter turns direct in Cancer to buoy homes, families, and real estate. The vernal equinox lands as Mercury goes direct, opening a rare all-planets-forward launch window for decisive moves. April restores balance with a Libra full moon and an Aries new moon, then changes gear as Uranus enters Gemini, kicking off seven years of disruption in communication, travel, education, and media. May amplifies the money axis with a powerful Scorpio full moon and Pluto stationing retrograde, revealing what's been concealed in markets and shared resources. Late May's blue moon across Gemini-Sagittarius broadcasts global signals worth heeding.June keeps powder dry until the finale: a Gemini new moon sets ideas in motion, then a Capricorn full moon arrives the same day Mercury turns retrograde and Mars enters Gemini. Travel and tech are spicy—plan with care. The payoff comes quickly as Jupiter strides into Leo, lighting creativity, performance, and generous leadership. Across it all, we emphasize practical strategy: when to launch, when to review, and how to translate cosmic acceleration into sustainable progress.

This is a quieter week and that feels deeply appropriate. Across many spiritual and faith traditions, this is a time of holy pause—a moment when outer striving softens and inner meaning comes forward.Rather than dramatic turning points, the sky invites integration:What has been learned this year?What is ready to be carried forward with greater maturity, honesty, and care?Tuesday, December 23: Venus in Sagittarius square Neptune in PiscesThis is a tender, permeable alignment—beautiful, but not always clear.Venus in Sagittarius seeks truth, meaning, and heartfelt enthusiasm.Neptune in Pisces dissolves boundaries, blurs edges, and opens us to longing, devotion, and compassion.Notice where idealism slips into projection—or where longing replaces discernment.This can show up as:Romanticizing a path, a belief, or a relationshipFeeling disoriented about values or directionConfusing spiritual yearning with actual alignmentThis aspect also opens deep compassion, poetic sensitivity, and soulful listening—especially when we resist the urge to decide too quickly. Let your values be informed by both heart and grounded truth.Reflection Question:Where am I being invited to soften my certainty without abandoning my discernment?Wednesday, December 24: Venus enters Capricorn (until January 17)As Venus moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn, the tone of relating and valuing changes noticeably. Capricorn is the sign of commitment, integrity and long-term responsibilityHere, love becomes less about possibility and more about presence.Values are no longer theoretical—they want to be lived.This is not cold or restrictive energy; it is maturing energy.Venus in Capricorn asks:What do I truly stand for?What am I willing to tend over time?What relationships, projects, and devotions are worth the effort?Choose what you are willing to build—not just what inspires you.Reflection Question:What values am I ready to embody more fully as we enter the new year?Saturday, December 27: Mercury in Sagittarius trine Chiron in AriesThis is a quietly powerful aspect—especially for reflection, conversation, and integration.Mercury in Sagittarius speaks in big-picture language: truth, meaning, and perspective. Chiron in Aries holds wounds around identity, courage, and the right to exist as oneself.Their harmonious trine supports:Healing conversationsReframing old narratives about who you areSpeaking truths that restore confidence rather than inflame painThis is not about fixing wounds—it's about finding language that honors the journey. Words can become medicine here, especially when they arise from lived experience rather than theory. Let your story carry wisdom, not self-judgment.Reflection Question:What truth am I now able to speak about myself that once felt too tender or risky?This is not a week for pushing forward. It's a week for listening, tending, and integrating. Let faith—however you define it—be something you inhabit, not perform.Podcast poem: Daybreak by Galway KinnellSupport 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.

Mars has been out of bounds in Sagittarius and connecting with the outer planets, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. It's been impacting our drive and motivation, leading to feelings of overwhelm and extremes in behavior. Luckily, this week Mars entered the sign of Capricorn where he is exalted, aka feeling himself. You might feel like you can finally get some traction with your to-do list. The Sun will also enter Capricorn on Sunday, marking the winter solstice, aka one of the two days of the year when the sun “stands still” and encourages us to pause. The winter solstice is the “longest night of the year” in the Northern Hemisphere encouraging you to turn your focus inward, pull away from the hustle and bustle, at least for a few moments and connect with spirit. The New Moon in Sagittarius arrives right before that, on Friday December 19. At 28 degrees the New Moon in Sagittarius is squaring Saturn and Neptune and inconjunct Uranus. It's a waving green flag to finally make those changes you've been mulling over before the year is out. This New Moon is activating the Saturn-Neptune conjunction that will define 2026 and have impacts that will last 35 years!

This episode with Narayana Montúfar breaks down the major astrological shifts coming in 2026, including the end of long-running cosmic cycles, the rise of the new Fire & Air era, and how Neptune in Aries and Uranus in Gemini may spark transformation, technology growth, intuition, and spiritual awakening. We also discuss ancient civilizations, shifting beliefs about history, growing openness to UFOs/aliens, and why more people are feeling called to follow their passions instead of the old way of working. #Astrology2026#DawnversationsBOOK A READING WITH NARA:  https://www.naramon.com/astrology-readingshttps://www.naramon.com/the-luminous-year-2026Narayana@naramon.comDownload the Luminous Year, my astrology & ritual guide for 2026!Book a reading with meFollow me on InstagramWatch my YouTube videosFollow my daily astro-weather on ThreadsOrder my new book: Written in Your StarsPurchase my book: Moon Signs Unlock Your Inner Luminary Power

 JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN for this & more Astro News You Can Use! @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking which drops today, December 19!As we begin a new lunar month, we might ask why is it now that we need to dig more deeply into our innate understanding of what it is we know deep down is truly moral, ethical, & just? And why are we being asked to make adjustments to where we've let society's values about morals & ethics trump those of own soul's higher consciousness?This week's podcast begins with a review of last month's Scorpio New Moon opposite Uranus in Taurus energy during its third quarter waning period, which brought to the surface the need for us to evolve our sense of values to bring them into accordance with the “real” world. The shocking events—particularly those of this past week as this monthly lunar cycle waned—provided stark clarity & greater revelations that in order to evolve (read: survive) we must change our ways of thinking & acting. Or better yet, about how we must review our previous inaction on important topics.That's because we know now how the Mars/Neptune square from December 14 resulted in violence (Mars) based on distorted or fantastical thinking (Neptune.) The proof is evidenced by the horrific shootings December 13 & 14 at Brown University, the terrorist massacre at Sydney's Bondi Beach, Australia, celebration on the first night of Hannukah, & the patricide & matricide murders of Rob & Michele Reiner by a son with mental health issues. It couldn't be clearer that the issues of both gun violence & mental health & addiction—particularly in America—has been too long ignored. And that our society needed these sudden, shockingly horrific events to awaken us to the need for change. This is especially true given that gun violence in schools has gone on so long that two Brown University students had been victims of school shootings before. The secret revealed this past month is that we can no longer ignore these horrific events as a society here in America & do nothing.MARS ENTERED CAPRICORN, SUN SQUARED SATURN=BLOCKAGESSince Mars entered Capricorn December 14/15, depending on your time zone, & the Sun squared Saturn December 16, we've also experienced blockages. President Trump's blockade of sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers, which in turn led to Venezuelan President Maduro ordering that naval vessels accompany these tankers is just one example.By then we also learned that a terrorist plot planned for New Year's Eve had been thwarted, as “federal authorities announced the arrests of four alleged members of an extremist group who are suspected of planning coordinated bombing attacks on New Year's Eve across Southern California.”We also learned by December 18, that there would be no extension by Congress of the Affordable Care Act (ACE) subsidies before they expire on December 31. House Speaker Mike Johnson effectively blocked that from happening & has ensured that millions will lose their healthcare coverage very, very soon. And, last but not least, there's the release of Trump's chief of staff Susie Wile's interview with Vanity Fair Magazine, which revealed another secret: She is not your typical chief of staff who advises a president & stands firm in their convictions about what's right or wrong. Rather she's an enable who describes Trump as having an “alcoholics personality.” Having grown up with an alcoholic father, Wiles knows one when she sees one. This podcast looks at her natal chart & the explanation for how she became more of an enabler than one who can guide the president to do the right thing (read: moral, ethical, & just) for his citizens instead of allowing him to know no bounds in his personal vendetta for retribution against his perceived enemies.On the level of consciousness, this article leads us to understand—along with Trump's December 17 address to the nation--that we may now, at this Sagittarius New Moon, want to adjust our concept of what's morally & ethically acceptable in our society now.SAGITTARIUS NEW MOON & WINTER SOLSTICE: HOPE FOR A BETTER FUTURE BASED ON CHANGEAs we experience the Sagittarius New Moon at 28'24” of this Jupiter-ruled sign on December 19—representative of higher knowledge, philosophy, foreign travel, higher education, law/politics & our judicial system—we now get to place it in a larger context.Given that the November 19/20 Scorpio New Moon opposed Uranus in Taurus, which foretold of the revelations discussed above, we now know the Sagittarius Moon--in quincunx (150-degree aspect) to Uranus in Taurus--asks us now to adjust how we value our relationships based on last month's revelations.In other words, as we ponder what's been happening—not only this past month, but this past year—do we believe our laws, politics, & judicial system here in America have been based on a shared sense of morals & ethics? Or does our understanding of the dichotomy between what we know in our heart to be moral & just & current events present us now with a true moral dilemma moving forward?Tune in to this week's podcast to learn more astro news you can use about how both luminary's squares to Neptune, as the Sun's perfects December 20, & Venus's square to Saturn December 20/21 lead us to the December 21 winter solstice here in the northern hemisphere.And how this time of quiet reflection, as the Sun enters Saturn-ruled Capricorn, can task us to meditate on what moral damage has been done to our legal system as Jupiter squares wounded healer Chiron & dwarf planet of chaos & discord Eris at this lunation.And whether, when Venus quincunxes Uranus & then squares Neptune between December 22-24, & then enters Capricorn, we'll get even more serious about reevaluating our commitment to our current partnerships—both personal & political. For all this & more, tune in, starting today at 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET, @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking... See you then!! Namaste…

Happy Solstice, sweet witches! The longest night is an energetic reboot moment, offering space for us to slow-down and reconnect with our true essence. With a New Moon on December 19th ushering in the shortest day, we have a precious incubation period to honor what is ending, and what we hope to renew our faith in as we move through the grounded Capricorn season.  A reminder! We will be taking a short podcast break, with episodes returning at the Spring Equinox. We have some super magical episodes already planned for you. Stay tuned, witches.

In Episode 148, astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield close out 2025 by analyzing the famously spooky and artistic bond between Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton through the lens of astrology.   Delving into Helena's natal chart, they reveal a sharp Gemini Sun conjunct Mercury in the 8th House—a placement that drives a shadowed intelligence obsessed with the taboo and mysterious. Her Libra Ascendant explains her early "English Rose" public image, while a Leo Moon fuels a passionate, dramatic, and warmth-seeking heart.   Tim Burton's chart, meanwhile, features a Gemini Ascendant squared by a Sun-Pluto conjunction in meticulous Virgo, creating a core tension between scattered creativity and obsessive control. With Pluto in the 4th House, his signature dark family fantasy themes emerge clearly. A sextile from Mercury to Neptune elevates his otherworldly imagination, and a Venus-Uranus conjunction sparks his uniquely eccentric aesthetic.   Their synastry reveals compelling dynamics: their Sun stelliums square one another, suggesting intense mental battles and ego clashes. A Mars square Pluto adds a layer of ruthless power struggle. Yet, supportive Saturn-Moon aspects provide maturity and a solid foundation for both family and work. Together, their Leo placements amplify shared creativity and flair, while their Gemini synchronicity can make them feel like twins. But with no major Venus-Mars aspect, can their romantic compatibility score truly measure up? Tune in to this episode for a deep dive into the astrological secrets behind one of Hollywood's most intriguing creative partnerships.   Book a Reading with us!

For 15 years, we've been living inside a particular story about Spiritual  authority: there are people who 'know', and then there's you.But that era is ending.Neptune is reaching its final degree in Pisces -a rare threshold where the celestial, numerical, and seasonal all converge into one signal. Something is collapsing, collectively. And something new is rising. And if you've felt the weight of "doing it right," followed protocols perfectly, or waited for permission from external authorities to trust what you already know - this conversation is for you.This isn't about rejecting mentors or teachers. It's about a fundamental recalibration: from outsourced authority to grounded sovereignty. From guru hierarchies to genuine integrity. From the healer as saviour to the healer as mirror.What You Will Discover by the End of Listening In:-The specific architecture of outsourced spiritual authority - how the guru pedestal system has trapped both students and teachers, and why the mentor becomes responsible for everyone's evolution (spoiler: that weight was never theirs to carry)-What Neptune's final degree in Pisces actually means for the spiritual landscape - why 2025 as a 9-year completion and 2026 as a 1-year beginning aren't coincidence, and how the Snake's shedding is preparing ground for the Horse's charge into new territory- Exactly what's collapsing right now in the Reikiand spiritual industry - from the guru pedestal to spiritual hierarchy to the healer-as-saviour/rescuer narrative, and why practitioners are feeling this collapse most intensely-What's rising in place of the old structures - how spiritual authority transforms from "I'm the master, you're the student" into genuine integrity, how mentors become mirrors instead of pedestals, and why people can now sense inauthenticity instantly-How Reiki becomes a mirror for this entire shift - why the practitioners thriving coming into 2026 are the ones who're reclaiming their spiritual authority, and what it means to practice Reiki grounded in your own sovereignty rather than someone else's systemWe're at a threshold. And you're being invited to step into what's possible now. Spirit-led Reiki Pathway open for enrollment: https://www.reikiredefined.com/spirit-led-reiki-pathway/Free Lifting the Veil on Reiki Workshop: https://www.reikiredefined.com/lifting-the-veil-on-reiki/Free community: https://www.reikiredefined.com/free-community/You'll find me most on Tiktok @reikiredefined & Instagram @reikiredefined

Sawasdeeka New Paradigmers!I am virtuous,I am wise,I am mindful,I am kind.Wanna know what's coming up in 2026???  Join Sol and myself on January 4th!  Click here to signup!  https://bit.ly/48ZlndgHappy New Moon (conjunct Venus) Solstice!  What a powerful combination!  Especially so because the whole Sun/Moon/Venus stellium is square Saturn/Neptune in late Pisces just before heading into the cold, white north of old man Capricorn.  For some reason I have always had this picture in my mind for Capricorn of a wise old man (like Gandalf) with a long white beard, holding a staff, and standing in the snow somewhere.  Well, as you will hear in this week's Pele report I wish there was a Gandalf around these days but don't see anyone like him anywhere, do you?This disillusionment (Neptune) with external authority (Saturn for many) may very well be part of the grand plan for humanity to finally get the idea that they need to develop their (our) own authority within.  What better way than to have a bunch of dufuses (an old word from childhood but I hope you get the idea) running the show!  When we can't trust those in authority we are uncomfortably put in a position of needing to make the call ourselves.  This is hard work, but tremendous growth for us all!  We have to do our own research, and then apply the seven virtues that I speak of in this week's report.  Mercury/Virgo       PRUDENCE (wisdom, discernment)Venus/Libra          JUSTICE (fairness, righteousness)Saturn/Capricorn  TEMPERANCE (self control, moderation)Mars/Aries            FORTITUDE (courage, strength)Jupiter/Sagittarius FATIH  (trust. devotion)Sun/Leo                HOPE (optimism, expectation)Moon/Cancer        CHARITY (love, kindness, generosity)We can ask ourselves repeatedly (especially this week and right on through to New Year's resolutions (which many are afraid to make anymore):  Is it wise and fair?  Do I have enough self control, courage, trust, optimism, love and kindness to pull it off?  Do it right?  Make it work?  If not then I have some work to do on myself to whip this life into shape baby!  Yeah!This week's song is "Are You Ready?" by Pacific Gas & Electric!  https://youtu.be/y4ZQ31O2M7Y?si=EJCAfx2klv25hktxSo Much Love, Kaypacha

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore significant developments in space exploration and cosmic studies that could reshape our understanding of the universe.Nasa's MAVEN Mars Orbiter: Communication LossNASA's MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution) spacecraft has gone silent, with contact lost on December 6th after passing behind Mars. The orbiter has been a vital asset for over a decade, studying the Martian atmosphere and solar wind interactions that have transformed Mars from a water-rich world to a cold desert. We delve into MAVEN's critical findings, including the mechanisms of atmospheric escape and the implications of its potential loss for ongoing Martian research.Galactic Neighbourhoods: Influencing EvolutionA new study reveals how a galaxy's local environment can significantly affect its evolution. The research, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, demonstrates that galaxies situated in densely populated regions tend to grow more slowly and develop different structures compared to their isolated counterparts. By analysing data from the Deep Extragalactic Visible Legacy Survey, astronomers have gained insights into the complex dynamics of galactic interactions and their impact on star formation rates.Uranus and Neptune: More Richie than Icy?Challenging long-held classifications, a recent study suggests that the solar system's ice giants, Uranus and Neptune, may actually be more rocky than icy. Researchers from the University of Zurich conducted computer simulations that indicate a broader range of internal compositions for these planets, which could explain their complex magnetic fields. This new perspective could alter our understanding of planetary formation and evolution, paving the way for future explorations of these distant worlds.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical SocietyNASA TVBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

What actually changes when you understand the blueprint you were born with? Why do certain patterns repeat? Why do some seasons feel heavy, and others open? And can astrology really give clarity without taking away your free will? In this episode, Radhi sits down with The AstroTwins, Ophira and Tali Edut, for a grounded, eye-opening conversation about astrology as a tool for self-understanding, timing, purpose, and relationships. They break down the basics in a way that finally makes sense — from the Sun, Moon, and Rising signs to the North and South Nodes, planetary cycles, and what a birth chart actually shows about your inner world. The twins share how they discovered astrology in college, how being four minutes apart created subtle differences in their charts, and why no one has a “perfect” or “lucky” chart. They explain why astrology shouldn’t be treated as a rulebook, how to avoid becoming dependent on predictions, and why free will matters just as much as the stars. They also explore love and compatibility, what Mercury retrograde is actually about, and why 2026 will bring a major collective reset as Saturn and Neptune meet at zero degrees Aries. In this episode, you’ll learn: What your birth chart reveals beyond your zodiac sign The role of your Sun, Moon, and Rising — and which one people feel the most How the North & South Nodes point to purpose, patterns, and growth Why timing matters: Jupiter return, Saturn return, retrogrades, and yearly cycles How to use astrology without letting it control your decisions What really makes two people compatible (and why “hard” relationships can be meaningful) The difference between Western and Vedic astrology What the AstroTwins predict for 2026 — and why it’s a year of new beginnings This episode is a clear, refreshing reminder that astrology isn’t about telling you who you are — it’s about helping you understand yourself better. When you know the patterns, the timing, and the possibilities, you can make choices with more confidence, clarity, and intention.

The Sagittarius New Moon (Dec. 19, 5:43 pm PST) at 28º24' Sagittarius. This New Moon is on the Sabian symbol 29 Sagittarius, A fat boy mowing the lawn of his house on an elegant suburban street. Guard your energy and anticipate that any tasks or any clarity you hope to gain will be hard won and might take a little while for you to see. [4:00] The Sun squares Saturn (Dec. 16, 8:33 pm PST) at 25°28' Sagittarius-Pisces. Use this time to plan and prepare for things that you want to get done at the New Moon, rather than pushing hard to actually do them. [5:04] The Sun squares Neptune (Dec. 20, 5:02 pm PST) at 29°24' Sagittarius-Pisces. Expect to feel drained, maybe a bit confused or unclear about what you want to accomplish during this New Moon cycle. Don't be too hard on yourself if you find you just don't have the energy. [6:25] Lunar Phase Family Cycle (LPFC). The First Quarter (first action point) in this LPFC comes on September 18, 2026, at 25º57' Sagittarius. The Full Moon (awareness point) of this LPFC will occur on June 18, 2027, at 27º33' Sagittarius. Then the Last Quarter Moon (final action point) in the LPFC comes on March 17, 2028, at 27º53' Sagittarius. [8:39] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. The Moon trines Neptune (Dec. 17, 7:24 am PST). It's VOC for 1 hour, 14 minutes, then enters Sagittarius (8:38 am PST). Use this VOC Moon to get into the habit of connecting with the divine daily and observing the messages that come your way. [10:07] The Moon squares Neptune (Dec. 19, 7:41 pm PST). It's VOC for 1 hour, 11 minutes, then enters Capricorn (8:52 pm PST). Consider a quiet evening at home, doing something imaginative and restful. [11:12] Venus square Saturn (Dec. 20, 9:09 pm PST) at 25º37' Sagittarius-Pisces. Venus in aspect to Saturn often brings delays or disappointments, but sometimes the lesson is to have patience, and in the case of Saturn in Pisces, acceptance. [12:47] The Sun enters Capricorn (Dec. 21, 7:03 am PST). Happy Solstice! Happy Yule! Happy Midsummer! The Capricorn and Cancer solstices are a wonderful time for standing still, which is what solstice literally means: the Sun standing still. The Capricorn Solstice is the beginning of Capricorn season (Dec. 21, 2025 -Jan. 19, 2026). The Sun is lowest in the midday sky. There's no place to go but up. What is it that we want to accomplish? What mountain is it that we want to climb? [16:53] Listener Ivana asks about Full and New Moon natives. Check out Dana Gerhardt for more information on the lunar phases.

For our 300th and next to last episode The Tarot Lady herself returns to help us look at the massive astrological shifts shaping 2026 and beyond. We dig into Jupiter's move from Cancer to Leo, Pluto's continuing work in Aquarius, and the game-changing power of Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus all shifting signs. What do these energies mean for creativity, politics, community, and the end of outdated power structures?   Theresa breaks down astrocartography, solar returns, and how changing your birthday location can change your year. We also explore rising calls for social justice, the collapse of generational wealth hoarding, and why astrology isn't fatalistic; it's a tool for choice, accountability, and empowerment.     On Patreon:  Ad-free version of this episode!   SPONSORS   Check out the phenomenal tea blends at thejasminepearl.com and save 10% with OUR NEW coupon code WITCH2025.

This episode offers a grounded, emotionally resonant look at why 2025 carried so much heaviness — and what the astrology is signaling as we enter the fiery, forward-moving landscape of 2026. Astrologer KJ Atlas returns to the show to unpack the collective themes that shaped this year: the grief cycles so many have felt, the emotional density created by water-sign retrogrades, the slow-fast disorientation of 2025, and the “first quarter Moon” sensation of seeing the deeper impact of everything set in motion since 2020. KJ and Kehla explore the astrological events that defined 2025 — from the grand water trine, to Mars retrograde in Cancer, to the intense September eclipse season — and how these transits have been quietly reshaping our inner lives, our relationships, and our sense of direction. The conversation then opens into the seismic shifts of 2026: Neptune's once-in-a-lifetime move into Aries, Saturn joining it, February's powerful eclipse season, and the collective pivot into self-led momentum, clarity, independence, and creative fire. Together, they map out what entrepreneurs, creators, leaders, and sensitive beings can expect as the year unfolds. They also share a deeply honest moment from their own friendship — a vulnerable conversation around AI, integrity, and leadership — revealing how 2025 has demanded a level of truth-telling and relational depth from all of us. Their story highlights the very themes this year has surfaced: shedding, discernment, and strengthening what's built to last. Listeners will walk away with a clear understanding of: ✨ Why 2025 felt so dense and emotionally charged ✨ The major astrological transits shaping 2026 ✨ How February's eclipses will ignite momentum and reveal truth ✨ Why authenticity, discernment, and intentional community will define the new business landscape ✨ How to navigate Mercury retrogrades, Jupiter's shift, and the evolving collective energy This is the astrology forecast listeners have been craving — grounded, relatable, emotionally intelligent, and packed with cosmic clarity for the year ahead.
