Episode 140


In this podcast, New York Times bestselling 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 21st, 2023, is here to clean up our act. On Wednesday, the Sun enters Virgo, encouraging us to get our systems in order. Later that same day, Mercury (the planet of communication) stations retrograde, ushering in a time of recalibration — and potentially some misfires. On Thursday, Mars (the planet of action) trines Pluto (the planet of transformation), giving us the motivation to dive deep into an issue and return with buried treasure. On Sunday, the Sun makes an opposition to Saturn (the planet of restriction), presenting us with an obstacle, reality check, or course correction. Also on Sunday, Mars moves into Libra, heating up the part of your chart that contains the sign of the scales. But the main signature of this week is Mercury retrograde. So back up your technology. Triple-check everything. And be extra compassionate with yourself and others.

The astrology of the week of May 13th, 2024, is lively, lucky, and largely concentrated in Taurus. On Monday, there is a Uranus cazimi (aka conjunction between the Sun and the planet of disruption) in the sign of the bull, which makes it an excellent moment to take stock of our abundance and channel it into upgrading and dismantling outmoded systems. Later that day, Venus (the planet of love) sextiles Saturn (the planet of boundaries) in the same sign, bringing longevity and structure to our innovations. On Wednesday, Mercury (the planet of communication) also moves into the fixed earth sign and goes on to square Pluto (the planet of transformation) on Friday, unearthing hidden truths through deep conversations. On Saturday, Venus conjoins Uranus, encouraging us to seek fresh modes of pleasure and connection. Then there’s another cazimi in Taurus, between the Sun and Jupiter (the planet of expansion), which heralds new opportunities, wisdom, and growth. Finally, on Sunday, Mars (the warrior planet) amps up our energy levels as it joins the North Node in Aries. It’s a lot. But it’s a great time to revel in the strength and beauty that Taurus is known for.

The astrology of the week of May 6th, 2024, draws our attention — and gratitude — to life’s sweet spots. On Monday, Mercury (the messenger planet) forms a conjunction with the minor planet Chiron to help us wrap up a healing process that began in March. Later that same day, the Sun sextiles Saturn (the planet of structure) to solidify our long-term plans. Then on Tuesday, the New Moon in Taurus beckons us to break new ground in our connections and pleasure pursuits, thanks to its proximity to Venus (the planet of beauty) and Jupiter (the planet of abundance), which are both in the fixed earth sign. All in all, it’s a week for relishing what brings us joy and centering community.

The astrology of the week of April 29th, 2024, combines ease with calls to action.

Later that same day, Venus squares Pluto (the planet of transformation) and prompts us to inspect the wounds in our relationships. Then on Thursday, Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius, pulling the focus toward technology, social activism, and collectivism. Finally, on Friday, Mars sextiles Pluto, daring us to go deep and make sure we’re in step with our goals. All in all, this week is a potent one to work with.

The astrology of the week of April 22nd, 2024, brings deep catharsis, abrupt reorientation, and a little bit of nonsense. On Tuesday, a Full Moon in Scorpio submerges us in our unbuffered feelings and illuminates what lies in the shadows as it squares Pluto (the planet of transformation). On Thursday, Mercury (the messenger planet) stations direct near the North Node, kicking up retrograde dust and amplifying shifts in our perspective. Lastly, on Sunday, Mars (the planet of action) conjoins Neptune (the planet of illusion), urging us to relinquish control and ride the tide. Overall, this week is an opportune time to hunker down and surrender to emotional unclogging.

Episode 174

In this podcast, New York Times bestselling 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 April 15th, 2024, ushers in some exciting, lively, and maybe even lucky astrology. On Monday, Mercury (the planet of communication) conjoins Chiron (the minor planet associated with healing) in Aries, urging us to share our wounds with the world. On Wednesday, Venus (the planet of pleasure) makes a conjunction with the North Node, increasing our appetites for love and beauty. On Friday, Mercury and Venus join together, sparking conversations that lead to cohesion. Then the Sun moves into Taurus, marking the end of eclipse season, and Mars (the planet of action) makes a sextile to both Jupiter (the planet of abundance) and Uranus (the planet of disruption), helping us take quantum leaps toward solutions. On Saturday, Jupiter conjoins Uranus and seeds a generative opportunity for us to expand beyond our current systems, and Venus conjoins Chiron to bring something tender to the surface. Lastly, on Sunday, the Sun squares Pluto (the planet of transformation), which could ruffle a power dynamic or two. Add it all together, and it’s a pretty potent week for growth.
