    The Week of September 14th, 2026: A relationship deep dive with Venus and Pluto

    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. This episode covers: The Sun’s sextile to Mars on Monday, September 14th Venus’ square to Pluto on Tuesday, September 15th Neptune’s sextile to Pluto on Tuesday, September 15th Chiron’s retrograde into Aries on Thursday, September 17th  Mercury’s opposition to Saturn on Friday, September 18th Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 02:25 - Preparing for Venus’ retrograde kick-off on October 3rd 10:34 - Monday’s Sun–Mars sextile 10:50 - Tuesday’s Venus–Pluto square 11:28 - Tuesday’s Neptune–Pluto sextile 12:28 - Thursday’s Chiron retrograde in Aries ingress 14:25 - Friday’s Mercury–Saturn opposition 15:38 - Astrology 101 21:31 - Weekly wrap-up This episode was recorded on 08/05/2026.

    The Week of September 7th, 2026: Getting retrograde-ready with the Virgo New Moon

    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 Mercury’s opposition to Neptune on Saturday, September 12th Mercury’s trine to Uranus on Sunday, September 13th This episode was recorded on 08/05/2026.

    The Week of August 31st, 2026: Boundaries and blessings with Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn

    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 This episode was recorded on 8/5/2026.

    The Week of August 24th, 2026: Shocks, surprises, and insights with the Pisces eclipse

    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 The Mercury cazimi on Thursday, August 27th The lunar eclipse in Pisces on Thursday, August 27th Mercury’s square to Uranus on Friday, August 28th The Sun’s square to Uranus on Friday, August 28th This episode was recorded on 8/4/2026.

    The Week of August 17th, 2026: Trusting your intuition between eclipses

    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 Venus’ opposition to Saturn on Friday, August 21st The Sun’s conjunction with the South Node on Saturday, August 22nd The Sun’s entrance into Virgo on Saturday, August 22nd This episode was recorded on 8/4/2026.

    The Week of August 10th, 2026: This Leo eclipse takes the lead

    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.

    The Week of August 3rd, 2026: Support, stability, and ego-shedding

    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 Venus’ entrance into Libra on Thursday, August 6th  The Sun’s trine to Saturn Rx on Thursday, August 6th Mercury’s entrance into Leo on Sunday, August 9th This episode was recorded on 06/22/2026.

    Episode 293 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 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. Now is the time to commit to working through any issues lurking in the shadows and making space for the goodness in your life to grow.
