Episode 17

In this podcast, professional astrologers Chani Nicholas, Thea Anderson, and Eliza Robertson look to the sky to make sense of what’s happening here on Earth.

This episode brings you into the astrological group chat to talk through how Venus’ retrograde in Aries and the North Node–Neptune conjunction have shown up on the world stage — and set the scene for the rest of this month’s milestone astro. Covering everything from Zelensky’s Oval Office visit to Bernie Sanders’ anti-oligarchy tour, nationwide town hall takeovers, and Anora’s Oscar wins, we break down the many ways these transits have manifested in the collective. Plus, we give a preview of what’s to come. (Spoiler: It’s a lot.) March’s madness is just getting started. So buckle up, and settle in.
