Astrology of the Week Ahead with Chani Nicholas

Episode 292
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 20th, 2026, shines a spotlight on the ways we lead. When Jupiter (the planet of wisdom and abundance) trines Neptune (the planet of dreams and fantasy), we’re inspired by an idealistic vision for our future — and gifted the motivation to turn it into a reality. As Jupiter’s opposition to Pluto (the planet of the underworld) highlights the tensions between our principles and our outdated systems of power, a trine between Jupiter and Uranus (the planet of surprise and innovation) encourages us to expand our horizons in new and unexpected ways. And when the Sun and the South Node enter Leo, we’re called to show up as the leaders we want to see in our lives and confront the egomania that’s corrupting our communities. Now is the time to invest your energy in collective action and reckon with what’s been hiding in the shadows.

Episode 291
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 13th, 2026, plants seeds for a new beginning. When Venus (the planet of beauty and connection) squares off with Uranus (the planet of surprise and upheaval), it requires us to get clear about what systems we’re disrupting and why. The New Moon in Cancer also wants us to get specific and offers some practical support to our most focused intentions. And as Uranus sextiles Neptune (the planet of ideals and fantasies), we’re called to align our actions with our hopes and dreams for the future — while Mars (the planet of action) sextiles Saturn (the planet of boundaries), bolstering our courage and the boundaries we need to move forward. You don’t have to dismiss your big ideas this week; just break them down into doable steps.
This episode covers:
Venus’ square to Uranus on Monday, July 13th

The New Moon in Cancer on Tuesday, July 14th

Uranus’ sextile to Neptune Rx on Wednesday, July 15th

Episode 290
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 6th, 2026, is here to clarify our next steps. After all the noise of last week’s historic Mars–Uranus meet-up, the Sun’s square with Saturn (the planet of boundaries) helps us narrow in on what needs our focus right now. As Neptune (the planet of dreams) stations retrograde, it offers support for our big-picture planning. Think: What reality do we want to live in, and how are we working to shape that future right now? When Venus (the planet of beauty and connection) moves into Virgo, it joins the South Node and highlights the relationship dynamics that are up for review. And a Mercury cazimi (a clarifying moment for the planet of communication) reminds us to make sure we’re getting our needs met. Now is the time to think critically about where you’re putting your energy and attention. What you water, grows.

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 June 29th, 2026, is explosive and action-packed. Mercury (the planet of communication) stations retrograde in Cancer, kick-starting an emotional — and eye-opening — trip down memory lane. Then a go-getter Full Moon in Capricorn asks us to up our TLC if we don’t want to burn out from chasing our goals, especially as Jupiter (the planet of growth) moves into Leo and insists we put our talents in the spotlight. And when Mars (the warrior planet) meets up with Uranus (the cosmic disruptor) in Gemini, we can expect a whole system shake-up that could make history. Now is the time to reflect on what’s been working well in your world, update anything you’ve outgrown, and think practically about how you want to reimagine the future.

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 June 22nd, 2026, closes one chapter and opens another. Venus’ trine to Saturn encourages us to fully commit to our creative plans and the power of our connections, to celebrate the beautiful history of those who came before us, and to take ownership of our own legacies. And as Mars ends its time in Taurus with a sextile to Jupiter, we’re given one last jolt of energy to finish the projects that need wrapping up before the planet of action starts stirring up chaos in Gemini. This is the time to lock in to your commitments, communities, and creations ahead of July’s game-changing astrology.
