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. This episode covers:…

Episode 302 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. This episode covers: The Sun’s trine to Uranus on Monday,…

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.

Episode 300 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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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.
