About this episode
In episode 428 we give an overview of the monthly astrology forecast for December 2023, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We spend the first 45 minutes talking about the astrology of news and recent events since our last forecast, and then at 00:48:08 we get into the forecast for December. The main planetary alignment this month is Mercury stationing retrograde in Capricorn while in close configuration with the benefics, and then retrograding back into Sagittarius where it forms a conjunction with Mars while stationing direct. This month there is also a New Moon in Sagittarius, a Full Moon in Cancer, and Jupiter stations direct in Taurus! Towards the end of the episode we review some major planetary alignments that happened over the past year in 2023 and how they turned out. This episode was recorded on Saturday, November 25, 2023.
