(The podcast originally aired on the Awake Space Patreon as a public post because the podcast host software was being super glitchy... thanks for your patience.

Thank you for supporting the podcast, um... hopefully this will hit spotify as an upload, if not it will be up later, because Mercury is still retrograding and Creators for Spotify is having technical issues. I need to get at least an hour nap because it's a long day today. So, if you can't find it on your favorite podcast players or YouTube, no problem, it'll be fixed asap. You can stream it right here in Patreon anyway.

In this episode of the popular talk show The Awake Space Astrology Podcast, Laurie Rivers gives you both a wide angle lens of the December astrology and the intricacies of the first week where Mars stations retrograde, and Venus makes it's way into Aquarius. There's a huge emphasis on humanity, fighting for social change, and the need for co-creative solutions.

As always Laurie shouts out to new patrons, and this week she's highlighting December activities in the Patreon.

Bonus info at the end is where Laurie reads a blog post from 2021 where she walked through the astrology of the US Constitution explaining why the Sibly chart (1776) isn't the actual nation chart. She shows the constitutional crisis in the 8th Saturn return of the constitution that occurred in 2023 and explains how that 28 year cycle impacts us heading into the future.

And she reminds everyone, we all have the opportunity to make our own magic this month and in order to do so we have to let go of the outcomes and put our focus on the present.
