Astrology of the Week Ahead with Chani Nicholas – Details, episodes & analysis

Episode 193

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 26th, 2024, mixes sweetness with poignancy. On Tuesday, Venus (the planet of pleasure) trines Uranus (the disruptor), motivating us to get experimental with new modes of creativity, invention, and delight. But on Wednesday, Venus goes on to oppose Neptune (the planet of illusion). Though things could get cloudy in our relationships, this moment is steeped in creative inspiration. Then, Mercury (the messenger planet) stations direct, urging us to regroup, gather our thoughts, and move forward with renewed clarity. On Thursday, Venus enters its home sign of Libra, where beauty, art, and love reign supreme. Right after, Venus trines Pluto (the planet of underworld journeys), calling us to bask in the healing properties of joy and connection. On Sunday, Uranus stations retrograde — which could feel a little destabilizing, but it could also reveal fruitful ways to challenge the status quo. Finally, Pluto re-enters Capricorn for the final time (in our lifetimes), prompting us to reflect on how we’ve embodied power and transformation over the last 15 years. Overall, this week is an opportune time to relish in our progress and tie up any loose ends.

Episode 192

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 19th, 2024, is packed with chaos. On Monday, Venus (the planet of beauty) opposes Saturn (the planet of structure), adding some strain to our pleasure pursuits. Then, the Sun squares Uranus (the planet of disruption), destabilizing outdated structures to make way for new ones. Later, the Full Moon in Aquarius forms a square to Uranus and brings another shock to our collective efforts. But it also nudges us to approach old modes of being from new perspectives. Afterward, Jupiter (the planet of bounty) forms an exact square to Saturn in a moment of era-defining astrology. This marks the peak of the planets’ discord and forces us to choose a path forward. On Thursday, the Sun enters Virgo and moves out of its square to Uranus, which turns down the heat but ups the frenzy already happening in Virgo. Later that day, Venus squares Mars (the planet of action), creating both sparks and tension in matters of beauty and play. Finally, on Friday, Mercury (the planet of communication) retrograde sextiles Mars, ushering in some relief to the week and prompting us to review a problem and more clearly articulate our arguments. Overall, this week promises to be both tumultuous and productive.

Episode 183

In this podcast, New York Times bestselling 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 17th, 2024, is equal parts hazy and clarifying. On Monday, Mercury (the planet of communication) forms a square to Neptune (the planet of dreams), muddling details and supercharging our imaginations. Then, Mercury moves into Cancer and conjoins Venus (the planet of love), sweetening our exchanges with expressions of gratitude. On Thursday, the Sun squares Neptune and blurs the line between reality and our dreamscapes. Later that same day, the Sun enters Cancer and the June Solstice calls us to check in with the practical progress we’ve made in the last six months. On Friday, the Full Moon in Capricorn prompts us to recenter our goals and the tangible actions it takes to achieve them. But because the Full Moon opposes Venus, it also shines a light on our relationships and how we care for one another. Finally, on Saturday, Mercury squares the nodes of the Moon, sparking conversations that have the potential to broaden our horizons — or even change our lives. All in all, this week marks a pivotal shift in the year and ushers in a new season of growth.

The astrology of the week of September 26th, 2022, brings a mix of clarity and conundrum. On Monday, the New Moon in Libra occurs opposite Jupiter, ushering in a beautiful new beginning in the part of your chart that contains the scales. On Thursday, Venus enters its home sign of Libra, inviting ease into our relationships, and then on Saturday, it goes on to oppose Jupiter, initiating an appetite for beauty, parties, and good times. To close out the week, Mercury stations direct in an opposition to Neptune. While the end of Mercury’s retrograde is usually a relief, here, the planet of communication pulls focus on confusion and illusion. So things could get messy — and topsy-turvy. But if we work with the rest of the astrology, it can help us through with a little more grace.

The astrology of the week of September 19th, 2022, is all about balance. On Monday, Venus trines Uranus, prompting us to realign our relationship to pleasure and play. On Thursday, the Sun enters Libra heralding the Equinox. This is one of two days per year when the hours of day equal the hours of night. Later that same day, the Sun and Mercury (retrograde) come together in a cazimi, gifting us insights into where our systems of justice, fairness, and equity need to be recalibrated. Then on Friday, Mercury continues its retrograde back into Virgo and makes a messy opposition to Neptune, blurring our boundaries and — ultimately — helping us pinpoint where things need to shift.

The astrology of the week of September 12th, 2022, is relatively simple but sloshy. The week begins as the Sun in Virgo leaves a trine with Uranus, prompting us to roll up our sleeves and discover new ways to work with what we’ve got. Then on Friday, the Sun forms an opposition to Neptune, which delivers a conflicting message — that sometimes things don’t work and we have to let them go. Later that day, Venus in Virgo makes a square to Mars, adding a critical edge and an influx of emotion to our interactions. Because this is all happening in a Mercury-ruled sign during Mercury retrograde, things feel a little messy. The solution? Don’t be reactive. Refuse to take anything personally. Prepare for details to get lost and translations to be thrown out the window.

The astrology of the week of September 5th, 2022, is all about going with the flow. In fact, there’s no other option. With Mercury stationing retrograde and a Full Moon in Pisces occurring within eight hours of each other, this week brings a lot of feelings and obstacles. If we spend our time trying to push things forward that are clearly moving backward, thanks to Mercury, we’re going to waste all of our precious energy. But if we surrender to the process, we can use this time to think in a different way. The same goes for the Full Moon in Pisces. Because this lunation is conjunct Neptune — the deity of the oceans — it’s dreamy and sensitizing, but also a little wobbly. In order to make the most of it, we’ll need to ride the waves instead of trying to swim against the tides.

The astrology of the week of August 29th, 2022, houses two helpful — though slightly extreme — aspects. On Thursday, Mars and Jupiter come into a lovely alignment, broadening our minds and gifting us easy wins all around. But because Jupiter is in Aries, a Mars-ruled sign, the planet of abundance is at the planet of victory’s fiery whim. Then on Friday, Mercury (the planet of communication) opposes Jupiter and puts our conversations about justice on full blast. It’s loud. It’s clear. But it’s also really powerful. Focus on the messages and triumphs you want to make — then prepare to bask in their goodness.

The astrology of the week of August 22nd, 2022, is here to help us to scrape away the gunk that’s clogging our minds, communications, and relationships with precision. On Monday, the Sun moves into earthy, mutable Virgo, highlighting the beauty in the details, and on Saturday, the New Moon in Virgo occurs. Unlike typical New Moons, this lunation isn’t great for planting seeds. Instead, it cuts close to the bone and brings a critical, sharp, and analytical eye to everything we touch — thanks to an exact square to Mars. This aspect adds an inflammatory lens to the week, but it also lends us the courage to do the things we need to do, no matter how unpleasant. So if you know how to work with it, it can actually be quite productive.

We also have some exciting news — last week, we officially launched daily content in the CHANI app. That means personalized daily horoscopes, a snapshot of the current Moon phase and sign, daily featured meditations, and so much more.

The astrology of the week of August 15th, 2022, encourages us to go with the flow and follow what’s easy. After the gnarly astrology of the past month, this week brings a welcomed shift, thanks to a couple of lovely trines. On Tuesday, Mercury (the planet of communication) trines Uranus (the planet of innovation) and ushers in some much-needed system updates. Then on Thursday, Venus (the planet of connection) trines Jupiter (the planet of abundance), delivering blessings all around. This is a moment for spontaneous hangs with your besties, and an opportunity to celebrate the generosity in your life. At the end of the week, Mars moves into Gemini and Mercury makes an opposition to Neptune, sparking a flurry of curiosity and Twilight Zone logic. So sit back and get your daydream on. Your to-do list can wait a few days.
