    The Week of May 25th, 2026: Mars, Pluto, and a freeing Full Moon

    Episode 284 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 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.

But the wild Full Moon in Sagittarius makes it all worth it — liberating us from outdated expectations and stoking our unfiltered creative expression. Now’s the time to focus and follow the energy that feeds you. If you do, it will set you free. This episode covers: The Sun’s square to the lunar nodes on Monday, May 25th Mars’ square to Pluto on Monday, May 25th The Sun’s trine to Pluto on Tuesday, May 26th Venus’ square to Saturn on Thursday, May 28th The Full Moon in Sagittarius on Sunday, May 31st This episode was recorded on 05/12/2026.

    The Week of May 18th, 2026: A once-in-a-generation Uranus cazimi

    Episode 283 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. This episode covers: Mars’ entrance into Taurus on Monday, May 18th Venus’ entrance into Cancer on Monday, May 18th Mercury’s sextile to Neptune on Monday, May 18th Venus’ sextile to Mars on Monday, May 18th Mercury’s square to the lunar nodes on Tuesday, May 19th Mercury’s trine to Pluto Rx on Tuesday, May 19th The Sun’s entrance into Gemini on Wednesday, May 20th Venus’ square to Neptune on Thursday, May 21st The Uranus cazimi on Friday, May 22nd Mercury’s sextile to Saturn on Friday, May 22nd The Sun’s sextile to Neptune on Sunday, May 24th This episode was recorded on 05/11/2026.

    The Week of May 11th, 2026: Practical magic and a Taurus New Moon

    Episode 282 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. This episode covers: Mercury’s sextile to Jupiter on Tuesday, May 12th The Mercury cazimi on Thursday, May 14th Mars’ conjunction with Chiron on Saturday, May 16th The New Moon in Taurus on Saturday, May 16th Mercury’s entrance into Gemini on Sunday, May 17th Mercury’s conjunction with Uranus on Sunday, May 17th This episode was recorded on 05/04/2026.

    Episode 281 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 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. This episode covers: Mars’ square to Jupiter on Monday, May 4th Mercury’s square to Pluto on Tuesday, May 5th The beginning of Pluto’s retrograde on Wednesday, May 6th The Sun’s sextile to Jupiter on Sunday, May 10th This episode was recorded on 04/27/2026.

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. This episode covers: Venus’ trine to Pluto on Tuesday, April 28th Venus’ square to the lunar nodes on Wednesday, April 29th The Full Moon in Scorpio on Friday, May 1st Venus’ sextile to Saturn on Friday, May 1st Mercury’s conjunction with Chiron on Friday, May 1st Mercury’s entrance into Taurus on Saturday, May 2nd This episode was recorded on 04/20/2026.
