Venus and Mars under the beams

A look ahead at the astrological forecast for December 2025, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We spend the first hour talking about the astrology behind news stories that happened since our last forecast, such as the major flight delays and internet outages that coincided with the Mercury retrograde conjunct Mars, and then in the second hour we do a deep dive into November’s astrology. The astrology of December features a challenging square between Mars-Saturn-Neptune, and much of our discussion focuses on the potential for bubbles popping when that Mars transit pierces the Saturn-Neptune conjunction.
