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.

• The Sun’s trine to Uranus on Monday, September 28th

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.

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.

Episode 299

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.

Episode 298

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

• Mercury’s sextile to Mars on Tuesday, September 1st

Episode 297

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.

This episode covers:

• Mercury’s conjunction with the South Node on Tuesday, August 25th

• Mercury’s entrance into Virgo on Tuesday, August 25th

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

Episode 295

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.

Episode 294

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.
