Welcome to Ghost of a Podcast. I'm your host, Jessica Lanyadoo. I'm an astrologer, psychic medium, and animal communicator, and I'm going to give you your weekly horoscope and no-bullshit mystical advice for living your very best life.

 

Welcome back go Ghost of a Podcast. This week, we're looking at the astrology of December 14th through the 20th of 2025. And the year is coming to a close, but most importantly, this week in astrology is trying. So, before we get into the details of this week's astrology, I want to kind of give you a bit of an overview of it.

 

There will be challenges from Neptune and Saturn. Chiron is in the mix. And what this means in practical terms is you may be dealing with a lot of anxiety. You may be struggling with things that are genuinely outside of your control. You may be struggling with boundary issues, either in terms of how you feel about things in the world, things in your past, things in your relationships. How you navigate through anxiety and fear, hope and hopelessness, is being tested this week.

 

You might not really notice it. You might not be experiencing that test in a deep way, to which I would say congratulations. But the people around you are. And so, for your coworkers, that might make them micromanagy or flaky. For your partner, it might make them needy or distant. What I'm trying to get at is, even when the astrology doesn't impact you directly as I describe it or as astrology would expect, you are surrounded by other people. And in engaging with them, it helps to keep in mind that the astrology of this moment is trying.

 

And a great way to engage with what you're feeling, what you're experiencing, as well as other people and what they're experiencing and how they're showing up, how they're communicating, is by practicing empathy. So, as you practice empathy, that doesn't mean you have empathy for all people, regardless of what they do, and then therefore you don't have boundaries or you abandon your own needs or your own values and ethics. That's not what that means.

 

Having empathy means not taking other people's poor behavior personal to you but instead holding space for the universe that is inside each and every one of us that you can't possibly understand. You don't know what's going on with other people. Having empathy for yourself allows space for you to struggle, to make mistakes, to not know the answer, or to know the best path forward but not be able to actually follow through. Empathy is a practice, and it's a practice that is best held alongside the practice of having healthy boundaries. It's not either/or. It's and also.

 

The particular ways in which Saturn shows up in this week's forecast is important for you to be mindful of because Saturn can be very carceral and punishing. There's right, and there's wrong. There's good, and there's bad—and kind of nothing in between. And if you catch yourself having that line of thinking, strive to rein it in so that you are accountable to yourself and others in the world without being cruel. You don't need to punish mistakes or problems. You can instead strive to adapt and adjust.

 

This week is a time astrologically where a lot of learning and a lot of growth can occur, but it will take humility, accountability, healthy boundaries, and empathy. And all of that requires a measure of self-worth and connection to your values. So, however the forthcoming astrology that I'm going to tell you all about shows up for you, I want to invite you to practice kindness in how you hold it.

 

We're going to dive right in, and I want to let you know that I did an hour-long live over on my Patreon where we really unpacked these topics: how to be present with anxiety and uncertainty, how to navigate through things that are genuinely hard. We really dove into Neptune/Saturn vibes. And so, if that's something that's of interest to you, you can join me over there, where I'm also now offering a mentorship tier. And we are going deep into astrology and counseling and consulting through the lens of my work. So I invite you to join me there, and I'll be excited to see you there. But let's dive into this week's forecast.

 

So, as I said, we're looking at the astrology of December 14th through the 20th of 2025. And on Sunday, the 14th—I gave you a heads-up last week because, at exactly 3:44 a.m. Pacific Time, Mars is at 29 degrees of Sagittarius, forming an exact square to Neptune at the same degrees of Pisces. At 4:36 a.m. Pacific Time, we've got a Sun trine to Chiron. The Sun will be at 22 degrees of Sagittarius and 46 minutes, forming an exact trine to Chiron at the same degrees of Aries.

 

There's a lot to say about these two transits, and it's a happy overlap in some ways. Mars square Neptune is a difficult transit. You have already been feeling this. If you're listening to this on the 14th or 15th, you've already been feeling this for several days because we've been building towards exactitude. Mars square Neptune is kind of demoralizing. It can make you feel like, "I just can't. I don't have the spoons. I don't have the energy. It's never worked before. Why will it work now?" It's a demoralized energy.

 

The way I always think about this transit will reveal that I am from the East Coast and a very cold region. I think of—it's cold outside, and then you sit down because you're so cold and weary, and then your butt gets wet because you sat somewhere wet and snowy. And then you stand up, and you've got a wet butt all day long. This is a terrible metaphor, but it is what I always think of with this transit because Mars square to Neptune is just like, "I feel shitty. I feel off. And then the thing I do to catch a break and create more ease for myself creates a whole new problem." It's just kind of like everything is off.

 

When this transit occurs, especially if it's hitting your birth chart directly, so if you have anything at around 27 degrees of a mutable sign—which would be Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, and Virgo—or about 3 degrees of cardinal sign—which is Capricorn, Cancer, Libra, or Aries—then you're really going to be feeling this. This can make you feel just straight-up exhausted, like you need a nap. And if you're tired, give yourself the gift of rest, keeping in mind that checking out and numbing out will not make you feel fortified, revitalized, or nurtured in your system. Taking rest is really different than just checking out or zoning out. They both have their value, but it's important to, if you are feeling really off or demoralized, do your best to actually do things that give space to your system, that promote rest and recovery to your system.

 

You may try to do things that just don't work under this influence, and that's kind of the lesson, unfortunately. Mars square to Neptune teaches us that we are not what we do. We are not just our ego or what we can propel forward in the world. The empathy, care, and grace that you afford yourself and others when things don't work out, when things don't mobilize and move forward in the way we want, is a huge part of what this transit seeks to teach us. And the best way to engage with this energy is by having healthy boundaries, and healthy boundaries around Marsy energy, which is anger, defensiveness, entitlement, resentments, etc.

 

Your drive to get things done, to succeed, to prove yourself, your passions, the things you deeply care about—they're all held by Mars. Mars is an important part of your birth chart. It's an important part of humanity. And Neptune is a really hard energy for Mars to deal with. Mars is fire, and Neptune is fog. And so the mist or the fog that comes from Neptune dampens the heat of Mars. It doesn't straight-up put it out; it just dampens it. So that's its own problem.

 

The opportunity here is to use your spirituality to hold the messiness of your ambitions or your emotions in a kind and empathetic way. The risk here is that you don't have boundaries, that you don't take responsibility and accountability for yourself, that you allow yourself to be trampled over or, through no fault of your own, that you in some way get harmed or victimized. So you want to do your best to really pay attention to what's happening around you, and if you feel like you need to protect yourself, protect yourself.

 

That said, unfortunately, this transit can trigger paranoia and other feelings of, really, defensiveness and insecurity. And so it's important to strive to investigate, to sit with your feelings long enough to investigate. "Am I being traumatized? Am I being harmed? Or am I being triggered?" In order to ask yourself that question, you really have to be willing to take accountability for yourself because triggers are painful. They can be just as painful as being traumatized or harmed by something or someone, but it's not the same thing. And it takes different forms of care and self-management. It takes different kinds of boundaries to navigate something or someone triggering you versus them actively harming you through what they're doing regardless of your background and your experiences.

 

Now, luckily, that Sun trine to Chiron is an excellent transit for supporting your self-worth. This transit promotes self-awareness, self-discovery, and your ability or your capacity, even your willingness, to meet pain points that exist inside of you and that are happening by transit, that are happening in this moment, with greater resiliency. Chiron is—it's your wounding. It's your insecurities. It's the places inside of you where you have a hard time belonging to yourself or feeling like you belong with others. And a Sun trine to Chiron is a transit that can promote your sense of belonging to yourself and with others, and not by jumping over insecurities but by being present with them.

 

And so you can see how the Sun trine to Chiron is a supportive presence alongside that Mars square to Neptune. But the Mars square to Neptune, just like every other transit, isn't existing in a vacuum. We are now out of that Mars square to Saturn, which is very heavy and consequential. And now that Mars is square to Neptune, I want to encourage you to ask yourself, what do you believe? And do your actions, do your behaviors, does your approach, reflect your beliefs?

 

Neptune is your beliefs in a spiritual sense, and Mars is your motivations and your actions. It's your ego. And so you may be confronted with ways in which you are not in alignment with your beliefs and your actions, and you can devolve into feeling terrible. And honestly, feeling terrible sometimes is just a part of life. And also, it's important to show up. So, even when you're feeling bad or demoralized, when things aren't really going your way, you are still accountable to yourself. You are still accountable for what you do or don't do and how and why. And it's easy to lose track of that under the Mars square to Neptune. Honestly, it's easy to lose track of that with Neptune in general.

 

Again, luckily, we have that Sun trine to Chiron to support greater accountability. And speaking of accountability, let's talk about what's going on on Tuesday, the 16th. At 8:34 p.m. Pacific Time on the 16th, the Sun will be at 25 degrees of Sagittarius and 29 minutes, and it'll be exactly square to Saturn at the same degrees of Pisces. So Saturn has really kind of moved its way back into Pisces. It's now at 25 degrees.

 

So the Sun square to Saturn—it's a heavy transit. So we're still feeling the demoralization. Luckily, it's separating, but we're still feeling that demoralization, that kind of damp-bottom energy of Mars square to Neptune. And then the Sun square to Saturn comes, and it's consequential. The Sun is your identity and your sense of self, and Saturn is a damn hammer. Saturn is consequences. It's time. It's maturity. It's related to responsibility and accountability.

 

When this transit occurs, you may feel like there are circumstances or people who are trying to stop you from moving forward or trying to kind of force you to learn something that you don't want to learn. It is important under this influence to notice how you feel and how that's directing your reactions. And the reason why is because the Sun square to Saturn can kick up defensiveness—differently than last week's Mars square to Saturn, but not completely differently—because the Sun is the will and Mars is the ego. And you can see that these two planets are both related to our sense of vitality and resiliency.

 

And Saturn is just sitting around being like, "Okay. Here are the consequences. Here's what you need to hold." And that can often feel burdensome, and that burdensome feeling can lead to depressiveness. Saturn does govern depression. It's kind of a weighty energy. It's also the planet associated with wisdom, and wisdom and maturity—they come from learning from your experiences, not just intellectually learning or theoretically learning lessons, but applying those lessons. That's what Saturn is all about. Saturn is the hermit and the crone. It's the mature embodiment of lessons learned.

 

In many ways, this transit tests your character. It tests your character. It tests your willingness and ability to honor what's true for you, to be accountable to who you want to be, in other words. And this can feel heavy and burdensome, but it can also be an opportunity for you to grow and grow up, which is actually kind of cool. For some people, this transit will coincide with a validation of your hard work. And if that happens on or around this date, know that you have busted your butt—you've worked hard—and for other people we're going to encounter, again, the consequences of what we haven't yet done or what we maybe have done that wasn't ideal. And for a lot of us, it's going to be a little bit of both.

 

So, instead of being punitive or cruel and motivated by scarcity and fear, strive to be curious about what is and isn't working so you can grow and learn from it. I cannot stress enough how much your curiosity and willingness to be present with what you're feeling is required to navigate these transits with integrity and to be kind to yourself through them all—very important stuff.

 

Now, one last thing I want to say is that Neptune and Saturn—Neptune is that Mars square to Neptune, and we're dealing with the Sun square to Saturn. These two planets both deal with procrastination in really different ways. They have different motivations for putting things off, but they're both planets that can kind of inspire you to put shit off. This is not the time to put shit off.

 

If you have made your decisions and you can buy yourself a little time, that's great. But if there's something you know you need to do, do your best to crack at it. You don't have to complete it, and you don't have to be perfect. But this isn't the time to try to shove things underground because, if you do, it's going to kind of steel your energy. It'll zap your energy. So you may this week, and certainly this first half of the week, deal with the consequences of how much energy it takes to try to, again, check out, zone out, procrastinate. And that's a learning opportunity. You don't have to beat yourself up about it, but strive to learn from it.

 

And that, my friends, brings us to the 18th. On Thursday, December 18th, at exactly 1:17 p.m. Pacific Time, we have a Venus trine to Chiron. So Venus will be at 22 degrees of Sagittarius and 42 minutes, forming a trine to Chiron at the exact same degrees of Aries. This transit is actually really lovely and very supportive, so there's a lot you want to do to make the most of it. And especially if you have something around 22, 23 degrees of a mutable sign, you're really going to get the benefits of this one.

 

This transit—it is an opportunity for you to strengthen your self-worth. This is fire sign, so this is in dynamic. It's in actual experience and not just in theory. This transit of Venus trine to Chiron empowers you to move through old beliefs that you've held about yourself and your sense of belonging and to feel more love, whether that's self-love, self-worth, or connection with other people. This transit, like every other trine, is not going to force or magically create these positive outcomes, but if you put effort into it, then your capacity for positive outcomes is really expanded.

 

This is a great transit for coming to greater self-awareness or healing around your relationship to money, your relationships to your values, or to self-worth, and of course, because it's Venus, to love and crushes and flirting and aesthetic stuff. This is a lovely transit to tap into. And if you have been really struggling this week or these past couple of weeks with anxiety and uncertainty about your place or your goals, this is the moment to tap into your values system. If you don't know what the hell your values system is, then learn. Be open to learning from how other people relate to their values, how other people identify their values.

 

Whenever we have a trine transit—so it's a 120-degree aspect between two or more planets—we have the opportunity to learn. The flow is there for learning. So you don't have to reinvent the wheel on your own. The wheel exists. Learn from other people. How do they navigate relationship issues? How do others navigate self-worth? I'm not advising you to look outside of yourself for answers. I'm advising you to tap into the resources that are available to you so that you can get the help and support you need.

 

The thing about having self-worth is that it empowers you to feel okay or damn good about asking for help when you need it, seeking assistance where it's available to you, and having the wisdom to recognize what is a healthy, safe, and appropriate source of support and what isn't.

 

Now, that brings us, my friends, to the New Moon. And it's a sticky one, so let's dive into it. So we have a New Moon in Sagittarius. Now, if you're looking along on the video version of this podcast with me, then you can see that I've pulled up a chart for this New Moon. This is a New Moon in Sagittarius. It's at 28 degrees of Sadge and 24 minutes, with the Sun and Moon sitting right on top of each other.

 

Now, typically speaking, a New Moon in Sagittarius is the perfect time for manifestation, for setting intentions, for visioning what you want to call into your life. This is like the New Moon before the New Year. It's setting intentions. And it can be a great time, typically, for doing ritual work—not this New Moon, okay? And that is because Neptune is at 29 degrees of Pisces and 23 minutes, so it's just 1 degree off of the Sun and Moon. They're forming a square.

 

That New Moon square to Neptune creates confusion and uncertainty. I'm going to say a lot more about that, but let me keep on kind of unpacking the details here. We also have Venus at 24 degrees of Sagittarius and 11 minutes, so it's sitting really close to that Sun and Moon, which—some astrologers will look at that and be like, "Oh, it's love. This is a great time for romance," and all that kind of stuff. No, it's not. It's not. It's not. Sorry. Instead, what Venus is doing is intensifying the need for you to be in alignment with your values.

 

So what does "in alignment" mean in this context? The Sun is your identity and your sense of self. The Moon is how you feel. It's the emotions you are nurturing, centering, caring for, and Venus is your values. If these things are disparate from each other, if they are disconnected from each other, then yeah, you're going to experience some anxiety and some pain.

 

Saturn is at 25 degrees of Pisces and 35 minutes. It's hanging out very close to that Neptune, as we know. And it is square to Venus. It's also square to the Sun and Moon. So there's a heaviness, a weightiness. This New Moon is incredibly consequential, thanks to Saturn, and also confusing and soupy and going to trigger really intense permeability, thanks to Neptune. Because of this, I say—terrible time for consciousness-raising drugs because your permeability is going to be accentuated.

 

This is a time to nourish and nurture, to fortify and strengthen. It's not a time to deplete yourself. It's a terrible time for fasting and any kind of self-denial that comes at the expense of your vitality. In fact, thinking about, "How can I feed myself? How can I support myself? How can I explore possibility so I can vision a future that I want to grow into?"—these are great questions for this New Moon.

 

We are going through, like I said, a Venus square to Saturn. Saturn is squaring the Sun and Moon, so it's going to be hard to be optimistic. It's going to be hard to vision a future that is disconnected from the present. And that difficulty is the gift of this New Moon. I know that sounds wrong or weird, but what is hard for you is what needs your attention and care—not all the damn time. You also want to give your attention and care to what flows and what brings you joy.

 

But this New Moon certainly is inviting you to become more self-aware and to work on that, both in 3D reality thanks to Saturn and on a more ethereal plane thanks to Neptune. So taking responsibility for your boundaries, taking responsibility for how you navigate your own energy, taking responsibility for the ways in which you are or are not embodying your values—that's the assignment of this New Moon.

 

And further, we have a Jupiter/Chiron square. It's building towards exactitude. It'll happen next week. And this transit is kind of begging you to face unresolved conflict. And because it's a New Moon, it is likely to be within yourself. Because Venus is there, it's likely to be reflected or to show up in relationship to someone or something.

 

You do not need to be perfect. The people in your life do not need to be perfect. What you want to strive towards is that your problems and your struggles help you to become more whole instead of tear you apart. We all make mistakes. We all struggle. It's okay. I mean, it's not great. It's not awesome. It's not a fun day at the park. But it's okay. It's how you meet it.

 

Now, whenever we have a Neptune really important in a New Moon chart, I think the internet gets flooded with talks of portals, like, "Oh, this New Moon is a portal." And you know I don't talk like that. I don't think that way at all. But let's talk about it for a second. What is a portal? What's a portal? It's somehow a New Age, woo-woo term for a damn door. It's a door. New Moons are always kind of a door. They are a doorway into a new way of being. It's a time for planting seeds. And when you plant a seed, it is kind of a doorway to a new life for a plant to be, from seed to sprout to plant.

 

And so I want to ground you into this way of thinking. You can walk through the door and enter into the kitchen, but that doesn't mean you're cooking. Instead, entering through a doorway is just the first step towards being, embodiment, healing—whatever it is. This New Moon is not a time for seeking answers. It's just not. This New Moon is a time for being mindful about, what are you packing as resources for you on this journey? What are your intentions? What are your hopes? What are your wishes? And what are your responsibilities?

 

Some people are going to have a lot of anxiety this New Moon or feel really exhausted or depleted. If you feel any of those feelings, I want to just gently remind you that those are just feelings. And it's your job to meet them with kindness and empathy or accountability, depending on the situation—probably a mixture of all those things.

 

And if people act weird, which—honestly, people are going to be weird. I mean, you're people. I'm people. We're all going to be weird. Try not to take it personally, because everyone has a hard time navigating these energies. No one is great at it. And so people are going to act how they act. Navigating your needs, navigating your boundaries, is your job. You can't control how weird I act or not, but you can control how much power you give me.

 

Allow yourself to change. Allow yourself to be changed by whatever it is you're experiencing this New Moon and this week in general. This astrology is challenging, but challenges are opportunities to overcome, to become more, to let go—whatever it is. Be curious about what this opportunity has in store for you, and be patient and empathetic with yourself and others to make the most of this energy.

 

That brings us to December 20th, which is a Saturday. And there's not one, but there's two exact transits, and they're both a pain in the ass. I'm not going to lie to you. They're a total pain in the ass. The Sun will be exactly square to Neptune on the 20th, and Venus will be exactly square to Saturn. At 5:02 p.m. Pacific Time, the Sun will be at 29 degrees of Sadge forming an exact square to Neptune at 29 degrees of Pisces and 24 minutes. And then, at 9:09 p.m. Pacific Time, Venus will be at 25 degrees of Sadge and 38 minutes, forming an exact square to Saturn at the same degrees of Pisces.

 

Now, these two transits were of course very active in the New Moon chart, but let me speak to them more precisely. This is a pain in the ass. Again, it's difficult. The Sun square to Neptune can be a transit where you just feel fucking demoralized, where you just—you are lacking in vitality. You are lacking in energy. You are tired. And that tiredness may be physical, it may be mental, it may be spiritual, or if you're like a lot of people, it's kind of all of it. It's kind of all of it.

 

Luckily, this is hitting on a weekend, and a lot of people don't work on weekends. And so, if you can just lay your body down, if you can just put yourself in nature, take some time to meditate, take a bath—something that is restorative and away from everybody's energies—that would be amazing.

 

This transit, again, is just a really bad one for doing drugs or doing anything to make you more permeable and porous because Neptune creates vulnerabilities in your energy shield on a woo level. On a more psychological level, it makes you more gullible. It makes you more easily knocked down a peg by something someone says or does. It increases anxiety, and it decreases resiliency. It's a pain in the ass, as I have said.

 

This transit can coincide with disappointments. And so, when you may have experienced them on the New Moon or on this date, those disappointments may be like you thought something was going to come together or something was going to happen. You thought people would respond to you in a particular way, and then it didn't go the way you wanted. Or it may be that you're just feeling sad or bad about things, which is perfectly reasonable.

 

Feeling good all the time should not be our goal. That's a terrible goal. A meaningful part of what astrology teaches us is that there is a time for Neptune. There is a time for Saturn. And Neptune and Saturn don't always feel good. It's really about how you respond to yourself and your circumstances. It's how you show up for those feelings. Learning how to be present with and navigate through the anxiety and world-weariness that the Sun square to Neptune provokes is a really valuable life skill. Figuring out ways of showing up for the people and things that you care about, which hopefully includes yourself, is a really important part of being an adult and being a part of a world, being a part of a family, a friend group, being part of society.

 

What you don't want to do on the Sun/Neptune square is be dishonest. Really, it'll backfire. If you know someone is lying to you, do what you can to protect yourself. If somebody's trying to manipulate you, do what you can to protect yourself. I know a lot of people may be around family of origin, and a lot of people have a hard time with boundaries with their family of origin. But this set of transits is really demanding that you show up for the lesson, that you practice. Practice doesn't mean you get it perfect. Practice means you practice. How can you have healthy boundaries? How can you explore what is your monkey and what is your circus and what is not your monkey or your circus?

 

The other thing you really want to avoid under this transit is placing other people on pedestals, imaging that somebody that you know or somebody that you're in a parasocial relationship with somehow has the answers that could save you or somebody who you have a crush on is just absolutely perfect and they are beyond reproach. This transit can incline you to do that, and it's never a good idea. When you place others on a pedestal, you're not allowing room for them to be full, messy humans, and you're invariably projecting fantasies, which is not bad on its own, but it certainly is not real either.

 

Now, as I mentioned, Venus is also squaring Saturn on this day. They're only a couple hours apart in exactitude, these two transits. Venus square to Saturn is kind of a sucker punch of reality when it comes to relationships. This transit can make you feel lonely, like even if you're around your closest friends, like you don't belong or you don't feel fully known or seen. This transit can make you just feel off, and it can bring up very real problems that exist between you and others. And those problems may be little relationship things that happen over time that just haven't been dealt with. They can be a difference in values. And the difference between these two kinds of problems is meaningful. It's important that you know because some things can be compromised, and some things can't.

 

So Venus square to Saturn creates a feeling of insecurity because Saturn wants to belong, and so does Venus. Saturn wants stability, and so does Venus. And when they're square to each other, there's a conflict there, a feeling of belonging, a feeling of being of value. If you don't have self-worth in a given situation or relationship, if you place someone above you in a way that is unhealthy or disproportionate, then you're going to feel extra shitty, unfortunately, in this astrological moment.

 

This transit is going to reflect back to you whether or not you are motivated by scarcity, whether or not you only deal with problems when they're in your face and demanding to be dealt with. Problems are a part of relationships. Just like we're not supposed to feel good all the time, there's no relationship that you can be in for a long period of time that doesn't have problems because we're people. Nobody's perfect, and nobody is perfectly aligned in all things. That's not realistic.

 

And so, if you take out the sting of judgment around the imperfections in your relationships, in your friends or your crush or your lover or your loved ones in general, if you give yourself permission to be imperfect, to make mistakes, then you can navigate your needs and the needs of others, your responsibility and your accountability to yourself and to others, with more grace and ultimately more honesty.

 

This transit of Venus square to Saturn—it can bring up depression. It can bring up depressiveness and loneliness. And then the Sun square to Neptune is anxiety. It's like, "Ahh, I don't know what's real.  I don't know what to do." The combo platter is kind of a lot. So strive to be interested in how you feel and how you hold your feelings and how other people express their feelings.

 

Try to notice the difference between what a person is actually saying and how they're saying it, what their body language is communicating versus what their words are communicating. Being able to be curious about this doesn't magically solve all of your relationship issues or your self-esteem, but it starts to build a picture for you to better understand yourself, your relationships, and how things are or aren't working, the ways in which you may need to better show up in either context or in both contexts.

 

These two transits are confronting. They're confronting around your self-esteem, your boundaries, your mental and emotional health, and ultimately your spiritual health. The best way to engage with all of this stuff is by thinking about your boundaries, practicing healthy boundaries, and respecting the boundaries of others.

 

If you're confused about what boundaries are and how to embody them, I have a buttload of video content where I've spoken at length and in many different contexts about boundaries over on my Patreon. So you can join me there, or if you're already a member and you're really struggling with it, it's good to remember that Patreon is kind of like an endless scroll, so you gotta use that search bar and just put the word "boundaries" in there. And a ton of content will come up for you to explore. I will also go live at least once this week over on my Patreon and really unpack and hopefully give you tools for dealing with a lot of the energy that's coming up.

 

That's your horoscope for the week of December 14th. I'm going to run through the transits one more time, but I also want to remind you that if you want a reading with me on the podcast, you can send me a question to be considered for the podcast using the contact form on my website. All the links are in the places where you find links.

 

Okay. To your transit list. On the 14th, Mars is exactly square to Neptune, and the Sun is exactly trine to Chiron. On the 16th, we have a Sun square to Saturn. On the 18th, Venus is forming an exact trine to Chiron. On the 19th, we have our New Moon in Sagittarius exact at 5:43 p.m. Pacific Time. And then, finally, on Saturday, the 20th, the Sun is exactly square to Neptune, and Venus is exactly square to Saturn.
