Astrology of the Week Ahead with Chani Nicholas

Episode 299In 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 10thMercury’s entrance into Libra on Thursday, September 10thThe start of Uranus’ retrograde in Gemini on Thursday, September 10thThe New Moon in Virgo on Thursday, September 10thMercury’s trine to Pluto on Saturday, September 12thMercury’s opposition to Neptune on Saturday, September 12thMercury’s trine to Uranus on Sunday, September 13thThis episode was recorded on 08/05/2026.For more, check out your free daily horoscope on the homepage of the CHANI app — now on iOS and Android.Looking for an astrological map, compass, and companion for the coming year?

Episode 297In 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 25thMercury’s entrance into Virgo on Tuesday, August 25thThe Mercury cazimi on Thursday, August 27thThe lunar eclipse in Pisces on Thursday, August 27thMercury’s square to Uranus on Friday, August 28thThe Sun’s square to Uranus on Friday, August 28thThis episode was recorded on 8/4/2026.For more, check out your free daily horoscope on the homepage of the CHANI app — now on ⁠iOS⁠ and ⁠Android⁠.As we enter the last stretch of eclipse season, it’s also the last chance for new and expired CHANI app users to get 30 days of free ritual tools, cosmic insights, and astro support from our team of real astrologers.

Episode 295In 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.This episode covers:Venus’ trine to Pluto on Monday, August 10thVenus’ opposition to Neptune Rx on Monday, August 10thMars’ entrance into Cancer on Tuesday, August 11th Mercury’s opposition to Pluto on Tuesday, August 11thMercury’s trine to Neptune on Tuesday, August 11thVenus’ trine to Uranus on Tuesday, August 11thThe solar eclipse in Leo on Wednesday, August 12thMercury’s sextile to Uranus on Wednesday, August 12thMercury’s sextile to Venus on Thursday, August 13thMercury’s conjunction with Jupiter on Saturday, August 15thThis episode was recorded on 08/04/2026.For more, check out your free daily horoscope on the homepage of the CHANI app — now on iOS and Android.Eclipse season is upon us, and we’re offering new and expired CHANI app users 30 days of free ritual tools, cosmic insights, and astro support from our team of real astrologers.
