Welcome back everyone. I'm so real that you've decided to join us for this special holiday edition of the astrology hub podcast.

I've always loved the holiday season, the festive lights, the abundance of gatherings, the giving of gifts, and I've experienced my fair share of really challenging holidays as well.

If you're in that position, I get it.

But it's actually the more challenging holiday seasons that sent me on a search.

A search to discover why this time of year has been considered sacred for centuries all across the world.

And why no matter what's happening in my life, I year for the deepness of needing and soul at this time of year more than ever.

And for me, it's been reconnecting with the astrological underpinnings of the season and the traditions we share that is delivered what I have been yearing for, which is why I'm so excited to share

today's episode with you. It's a holiday favorite here at astrology have and it's

called The Christmas Mysteries with

astronomer and astrologer Gemini Ret. In this episode we talk about the

intriguing connections between astrology and our popular Christmas traditions, uncovering how the stars and planets have influenced our festive legends and practices throughout time.

We cover everything from why we bring trees into our homes to the lights that we string around there,

to Santa, his sleigh and reindeer. And you don't even have to celebrate Christmas to enjoy this episode.

If you love astrology, I think you're going to find it fascinating.

But before we dive in, I also want to make sure you know you're invited to a very special free event that we're hosting here

at Astronomy Hub. It's for any of you who like me love seasonal traditions

but are in search for more depth and inspiration.

It's our gift to you and it's called the 12 days of solstice challenge.

It's a guided intention-setting journey through the lunar cycles of 24.

Each day of the event, you'll get a short 15 minute video from me,

introducing the theme for the day based on the zodiac sign of the lunar cycle.

I'll provide you with a guided meditation and the giving journal
