    Episode 307

    Episode 307

    In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

    The astrology of the week of November 2nd, 2026, brings clarity, connection, and a clean slate. As Venus (the planet of love and justice) sextiles Jupiter (the planet of wisdom and abundance), our relationships and community efforts may feel particularly blessed, and we’re encouraged to come together to celebrate our wins. When Mercury (the messenger planet) meets up with the Sun in a cazimi, it adds some much-needed clarity to our communications and some important information we’ve been missing. Then the Scorpio New Moon begins a fresh lunar cycle, inviting us to get intentional about what we want to make happen before the end of the year. So pick your next project carefully, plant the seed to get it started, and pour your all into it. Success is sure to follow.

  2. The Week of October 26th, 2026: Mars, Pluto, and the hard truths of Mercury Rx

    Episode 306

    In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

    The astrology of the week of October 26th, 2026, reveals what we have to let go of in order to grow. As the Sun squares Pluto (the planet of the underworld), it sheds light on the raw feelings and deep wounds we’ve been working through during this Venus retrograde. And as Mercury (the planet of comms) backtracks into a square with Mars (the planet of action), we’re confronted with difficult conversations and revelations of uncomfortable truths. This is a good time to triple-check the details, prepare for technical glitches, and remember that if you want a fresh start, you have to be ready to compost old patterns.

    This episode covers:

    •

    The Sun’s square to Pluto on Monday, October 26th

    Episode 305

    In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

    The astrology of the week of October 19th, 2026, is all about rebirth and renewal. Venus (the planet of love) continues its retrograde journey through Scorpio, where it squares Pluto (the planet of the underworld), uncovering our deepest relationship wounds and trust issues. As the Sun enters Scorpio, it meets up with Venus in a restorative cazimi, and we’re invited to plant seeds for the connection, intimacy, and justice we want to grow into with this next Venus cycle. When Mercury (the planet of communication) stations retrograde in Scorpio, it helps us review the lessons that Venus’ retrograde has taught us so far and sort through any details we still need to address. Plus, there’s a Full Moon in Taurus that illuminates the growth that’s gotten us to this point and reminds us to nourish ourselves for all that’s still to come. This is a time to pour your love, care, and attention into the hurts you wish to heal — and treat yourself and others with the kind of care you want to manifest in your life.

    Episode 304

    In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

    The astrology of the week of October 12th, 2026, brings a much-needed confidence boost to an emotionally intense Venus retrograde. As the Sun sextiles Jupiter (the planet of good fortune), it feels like luck is on our side and asking us to take some necessary risks. And when Pluto (the planet of hidden power) stations direct in Aquarius, it helps us to clarify the right path forward, reclaim our agency, and get ourselves unstuck. Plus, a helpful trine between Mars (the planet of action) and Saturn (the planet of discipline) adds extra make-it-happen magic to the mix, bringing our goals within reach — as long as we’re willing to put in the hard work. This week is your reminder that it’s always worth it to act with integrity, even if it requires more effort.

    Episode 303

    In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

    The astrology of the week of October 5th, 2026, amplifies our feelings. When retrograde Venus (the planet of love) meets up with Mercury (the planet of communication), it spotlights the questions and uncomfortable truths beginning to rise to the surface in Venus’ underworld journey. Stay tuned for clarifying conversations and aha moments that draw connections between different points of tension — just don’t expect solutions to show up right away. And keep note of those sticking points, because the New Moon in Libra will help us identify what’s stuck and plant seeds of change in those parts of our lives. By the time Venus squares Mars (the planet of confrontation), we’ll have the direction and drive to take action on what’s bothering us. Hint: Notice what your irritation has to teach you about what you need to feel fulfilled.

    In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

    The astrology of the week of September 28th, 2026, doesn’t hold back. Mercury (the planet of communication) moves into Scorpio and pushes us to skip the small talk and get straight to what matters most. Then the messenger planet makes difficult squares to both Mars (the planet of confrontation) and Pluto (the planet of secret power), which only amps up our appetite for difficult conversations and challenges us to learn from any tension that gets triggered. As Venus (the planet of connection) stations retrograde (also in Scorpio), the ways we relate come up for review, and we’re called to reconnect with the sides of ourselves that we’ve tried to sweep under the rug. It’s time to be honest about all the aspects of who you are, even if it’s uncomfortable. That’s where the healing happens.

    In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

    The astrology of the week of September 21st, 2026, brings a turning point. As the Sun enters Libra and ushers in a new season with the September Equinox, we’re invited to take stock of the dynamics in our lives that have fallen out of balance. And spoiler: This investigation into our relationships will only deepen when Venus (the planet of connection) stations retrograde next month. We’re also met with a Full Moon in Aries this week, which bolsters our courage to take action in the face of inequity and fight for justice, both personally and collectively. This is the moment to get clear on what’s working for you, and what isn’t. Your goals will be easier to reach once the reality checks clear.

    In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

    The astrology of the week of September 14th, 2026, gets emotional and intense. When Venus (the planet of love) makes a square to Pluto (the planet of the underworld), we’re asked to peel back the layers of our relationships, confront our deep feelings, and ground into our values. Then Neptune (the planet of dreams) sextiles Pluto, reminding us that our imaginations can help us unlock new ways of relating. And as Chiron (the minor planet of wounds and healing) backtracks into Aries, it highlights the harm of hyperindividualism and encourages us to take our roles as both mentors and mentees seriously. This is the week for cathartic conversations and creative collaborations. Just make sure you honor your boundaries to keep things balanced.

    In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

    The astrology of the week of September 7th, 2026, is prepping us for a transformative retrograde season. As Venus (the planet of love) moves through justice-loving Libra and into brooding Scorpio (where it will station retrograde next month), stale relationship dynamics are up for review. And when Uranus (the planet of shock and surprise) begins its retrograde in Gemini, it spotlights the life updates we’ve made that aren’t actually working for us. Luckily, the New Moon in Virgo poses a perfect opportunity to refresh our routines and set ourselves up for success. The habits you form now will keep you grounded when the astro gets turbulent. So get ready and get organized.

    In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

    The astrology of the week of August 31st, 2026, brings both obstacles and opportunities. When Jupiter (the planet of good fortune) trines Saturn (the planet of structure), it feels like all our hard work is finally paying off and we’re being blessed with the growth and abundance that we’ve cleared space for. But when Mars (the planet of action) squares Saturn, it’s a whole different story. This face-off is sure to spark serious frustration and stuck-in-the-mud energy. Thankfully, Mercury (the planet of communication) also makes a supportive sextile to Mars, encouraging conversations that break the tension and clarify where we need to move next. Now’s the time to tune in to your intuition and trust your gut. Those instincts will not only help you stay true to yourself, but they’ll come in handy when your plans get off track.

    This episode covers:

    •

    Jupiter’s trine to Saturn on Monday, August 31st

    •

    Mars’ square to Saturn on Tuesday, September 1st

    •

    In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

    The astrology of the week of August 24th, 2026, has the power to change everything. Mercury (the planet of communication) meets up with the South Node, signaling a major release — or leak — of important information. Then the messenger planet moves into Virgo, where it’s supercharged, and meets up with the Sun in a cazimi that’s sure to deliver some game-changing intel. On the same day, the lunar eclipse in Pisces wraps up a two-year cycle we started in September 2024. This eclipse is also square to Uranus (the planet of shocks and surprises), so expect some sudden shifts and unexpected endings. And once Mercury and the Sun square Uranus as well, more revelations could surface that change our perspective. Pay close attention to your dreams, epiphanies, and communications this week. It’s going to be a wild one.

  12. The Week of August 17th, 2026: Trusting your intuition between eclipses

    Episode 296

    In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

    The astrology of the week of August 17th, 2026, requires us to stay grounded. Mars (the planet of action) is already wading through the murky, emotional waters of Cancer, and when it squares Neptune (the planet of illusion and delusion), we might feel like our drive and determination gets lost in the fog. Luckily, Venus (the planet of love) sextiles Jupiter (the planet of abundance), offering us added relationship support, so we can anchor ourselves through our community and connections. Plus, Venus’ opposition with Saturn (the planet of boundaries) will let us know if we’ve overstepped or reached our breaking point in certain dynamics. Now’s the time to listen to your gut and respect your limits — overextending yourself will only dial up the eclipse season chaos.

    This episode covers:

    •

    Mars’ square to Neptune on Monday, August 17th

    •

    Mercury’s trine to Saturn on Monday, August 17th

    •

    Venus’ sextile to Jupiter on Monday, August 17th

  13. The Week of August 10th, 2026: This Leo eclipse takes the lead

    In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

    The astrology of the week of August 10th, 2026, signals big shifts in our leadership. As Mercury (the planet of comms) opposes Pluto (the planet of the underworld), tough conversations about the shadows lurking in our power dynamics are likely to surface. Plus, the solar eclipse at the South Node in Leo serves up a fiery reality check, puncturing overinflated egos and possibly dethroning tyrants. But when Mercury moves into a sweet sextile with Venus (the planet of connection) and meets up with Jupiter (the planet of abundance), we’re blessed with good news in our relationships and good luck in the messages we want to get across. Now is the time to be bold, creative, and brave in championing the causes you care about. Major change is in the air.

    In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

    The astrology of the week of August 3rd, 2026, gives us a moment to process and prepare for the upcoming eclipse season. When Chiron (the minor planet of healing) stations retrograde in Taurus, it calls us to slow down and tend to any wounds that surfaced during last week’s Full Moon. Thankfully, we have support from Venus (the planet of love and beauty) as it moves into Libra (its home sign), encouraging balance, fairness, and cute moments of connection. And the Sun’s trine to Saturn (the planet of boundaries and systems) also helps us to find the structure and stability we need to feel secure. Use this time to soften and sift through what you’re ready to shed with next week’s South Node eclipse.

    This episode covers:

    •

    The start of Chiron retrograde on Monday, August 3rd

    •

    The astrology of the week of July 27th, 2026, is packed with potential for profound transformation. When Venus (the planet of love and connection) squares off with Mars (the planet of action), it surfaces the friction in our relationships, especially around communication. But when Jupiter (the planet of luck and good fortune) enters the heart of the Sun, we’re gifted an opportunity to plant seeds for expansion and abundance — at the same time that the Full Moon in Aquarius illuminates our need to confront the fears blocking our creative expression. Now is the time to commit to working through any issues lurking in the shadows and making space for the goodness in your life to grow.

    In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

    The astrology of the week of July 20th, 2026, shines a spotlight on the ways we lead. When Jupiter (the planet of wisdom and abundance) trines Neptune (the planet of dreams and fantasy), we’re inspired by an idealistic vision for our future — and gifted the motivation to turn it into a reality. As Jupiter’s opposition to Pluto (the planet of the underworld) highlights the tensions between our principles and our outdated systems of power, a trine between Jupiter and Uranus (the planet of surprise and innovation) encourages us to expand our horizons in new and unexpected ways. And when the Sun and the South Node enter Leo, we’re called to show up as the leaders we want to see in our lives and confront the egomania that’s corrupting our communities. Now is the time to invest your energy in collective action and reckon with what’s been hiding in the shadows.

    The astrology of the week of July 13th, 2026, plants seeds for a new beginning. When Venus (the planet of beauty and connection) squares off with Uranus (the planet of surprise and upheaval), it requires us to get clear about what systems we’re disrupting and why. The New Moon in Cancer also wants us to get specific and offers some practical support to our most focused intentions. And as Uranus sextiles Neptune (the planet of ideals and fantasies), we’re called to align our actions with our hopes and dreams for the future — while Mars (the planet of action) sextiles Saturn (the planet of boundaries), bolstering our courage and the boundaries we need to move forward. You don’t have to dismiss your big ideas this week; just break them down into doable steps.

    In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

    The astrology of the week of July 6th, 2026, is here to clarify our next steps. After all the noise of last week’s historic Mars–Uranus meet-up, the Sun’s square with Saturn (the planet of boundaries) helps us narrow in on what needs our focus right now. As Neptune (the planet of dreams) stations retrograde, it offers support for our big-picture planning. Think: What reality do we want to live in, and how are we working to shape that future right now? When Venus (the planet of beauty and connection) moves into Virgo, it joins the South Node and highlights the relationship dynamics that are up for review. And a Mercury cazimi (a clarifying moment for the planet of communication) reminds us to make sure we’re getting our needs met. Now is the time to think critically about where you’re putting your energy and attention. What you water, grows.

    In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.

    The astrology of the week of June 29th, 2026, is explosive and action-packed. Mercury (the planet of communication) stations retrograde in Cancer, kick-starting an emotional — and eye-opening — trip down memory lane. Then a go-getter Full Moon in Capricorn asks us to up our TLC if we don’t want to burn out from chasing our goals, especially as Jupiter (the planet of growth) moves into Leo and insists we put our talents in the spotlight. And when Mars (the warrior planet) meets up with Uranus (the cosmic disruptor) in Gemini, we can expect a whole system shake-up that could make history. Now is the time to reflect on what’s been working well in your world, update anything you’ve outgrown, and think practically about how you want to reimagine the future.
