Astrology of the Week Ahead with Chani Nicholas

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.

This episode covers:

• Venus’ entrance into Scorpio on Thursday, September 10th

• Mercury’s entrance into Libra on Thursday, September 10th

• The start of Uranus’ retrograde in Gemini on Thursday, September 10th

• The New Moon in Virgo on Thursday, September 10th

• Mercury’s trine to Pluto on Saturday, September 12th

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Episode 290

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.

The astrology of the week of June 22nd, 2026, closes one chapter and opens another. Venus’ trine to Saturn encourages us to fully commit to our creative plans and the power of our connections, to celebrate the beautiful history of those who came before us, and to take ownership of our own legacies. And as Mars ends its time in Taurus with a sextile to Jupiter, we’re given one last jolt of energy to finish the projects that need wrapping up before the planet of action starts stirring up chaos in Gemini. This is the time to lock in to your commitments, communities, and creations ahead of July’s game-changing astrology.

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 15th, 2026, brings big opportunities for growth. As Venus makes a supportive sextile to Uranus and trine to Neptune, we’re encouraged to explore the wilds of our imagination and experiment with how we express ourselves. But when Venus opposes Pluto, and Chiron enters Taurus, we’re brought back down to Earth to heal the hurts lurking beneath the surface — especially around our relationships with ourselves, our bodies, each other, and the natural world. Then the June Solstice arrives as the perfect mid-year checkpoint. It’s time to review your 2026 intentions, reflect on how far you’ve come, and commit to the strategies that are working as you head into the second half of the year.

The astrology of the week of May 25th, 2026, challenges us to keep our eyes on the prize. When Mars squares off with Pluto, tensions run high and we need to pick our battles wisely. Then, as Venus squares Saturn, our relationships come under review, and if we aren’t careful with our boundaries, we’ll get our feelings hurt.

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 May 18th, 2026, changes the pace… and then changes it again. Mars moves into slow and steady Taurus as Venus enters caring Cancer, and their sextile offers us the nurturing we need after the rush of the last few weeks. Mercury is also on the move, sextiling Neptune, squaring the lunar nodes, and trining Pluto, which gives our conversations and connections a powerful boost. But when the Sun enters Gemini, it meets up with Uranus in the mutable air sign for the first time in 78 years. This cazimi is a wild card, sure to serve shocks, surprises, and sudden shifts — both personally and collectively. Now’s the time to get grounded in the things that matter most and get ready to work with some revolutionary energy.

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 May 11th, 2026, brings clarity and a little chaos. Mercury’s sextile to Jupiter helps us get practical and precise in our communications, and the Mercury cazimi offers an extra boost of insight. But when Mars runs into Chiron, our hurts get highlighted. And with the New Moon in Taurus sitting next to Algol (the fixed star associated with rage and betrayal), we’re called to honor our anger if we want to reclaim our power. Then, when Mercury moves into Gemini and meets up with Uranus, our wit and wild ideas get a jolt of high-voltage energy. So get clear on the things that need your attention and your honesty before Gemini season dials up the distractions.

The astrology of the week of May 4th, 2026, offers a much-needed morale boost. When Mars squares Jupiter, our confidence to take action skyrockets, and our nerve is bolstered by how we’ve handled all the challenges of the last few weeks. And as Mercury squares Pluto, right before the planet of the underworld stations retrograde in Aquarius, we’re asked to identify the problems in our systems and dive into deep conversation about the changes we need going forward. Then the Sun’s sextile to Jupiter reminds us that we can take our time and relish the things that bring us joy. Don’t let this surge of energy go to waste.

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 April 27th, 2026, is transformative, to say the least. The Scorpio Full Moon reveals the harsh truths we have to face if we want to grow. And as Venus trines Pluto, squares the lunar nodes, and sextiles Saturn, we’re encouraged to not only build meaningful connections but ground into the power of those relationships. Plus, Mercury’s conjunction with Chiron brings our hurts to the surface and pushes us to have the tough (but necessary) conversations so we can heal. It may seem heavy, but showing up with courage and commitment now will help us unlock the change we need most.

The astrology of the week of April 20th, 2026, puts our endurance to the test.

And with the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, and Chiron all piled up in Aries, there are a lot of bold moves brewing. When Chiron and the Sun come together, we get clarity on which actions we need to take in order to heal. And the Aries New Moon and Mars–Saturn meet-up both dare us to do what’s difficult, no matter what limitations we’re facing.

The astrology of the week of April 6th, 2026, brings a surge of energy and a call to do something with it. The Sun’s exaltation in Aries gives us the confidence boost we need to be bold and blaze new trails, and Mars’ sextile to Uranus powers us to get our current projects over the finish line.

The astrology of the week of March 30th, 2026, asks us to be honest about how and where we’re out of balance. While Venus’ shift into Taurus helps us ground into our creativity and connections, the Libra Full Moon spotlights any unfair power dynamics at play in the world and in our personal lives.

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 March 23rd, 2026, highlights the power structures that are failing us and asks how we want to move forward. The Neptune cazimi sheds light on the delusions that have led us astray, and the ideals that are still worth fighting for — while the Saturn cazimi illuminates the corruption of our authority figures and the systems they uphold. And when the Sun and Saturn sextile Pluto, we’re reminded of the collective liberation that’s possible if we commit to organizing our action for the long-haul. Finally, Venus’ meet-up with Chiron encourages us to learn from the trailblazers who came before. If you believe in building a better world, it’s time to lock in.

The astrology of the week of February 9th, 2026, reminds us to take care of ourselves and each other. Venus moves into Pisces (where it’s exalted), bringing abundance and blessings to our relationships and community efforts — but Mercury’s meet-up with the North Node may lead to murkiness and miscommunications. And once Saturn shifts from Pisces into Aries, we’re given a new slate of tough lessons about our boundaries and foundations. Just remember: Staying connected to the causes and commitments that matter most to us is the thing that will get us through.

In the wake of shake-ups from last week’s Full Moon in Leo, Uranus — the planet of disruption — stations direct in Taurus, issuing a warning about injustice and encouraging us to get creative with our rage.
