Astrology of the Week Ahead with Chani Nicholas

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

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

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.
