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 April 13th, 2026, demands our courage. Venus’ sextile with Jupiter helps us forge connections and build momentum for our movements. And with the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, and Chiron all piled up in Aries, there are a lot of bold moves brewing. When Chiron and the Sun come together, we get clarity on which actions we need to take in order to heal. And the Aries New Moon and Mars–Saturn meet-up both dare us to do what’s difficult, no matter what limitations we’re facing. Now is the time to stay focused on your goals — but don’t overwhelm yourself by taking on too much.

The astrology of the week of April 6th, 2026, brings a surge of energy and a call to do something with it.

Episode 275
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 March 23rd, 2026, highlights the power structures that are failing us and asks how we want to move forward. The Neptune cazimi sheds light on the delusions that have led us astray, and the ideals that are still worth fighting for — while the Saturn cazimi illuminates the corruption of our authority figures and the systems they uphold. And when the Sun and Saturn sextile Pluto, we’re reminded of the collective liberation that’s possible if we commit to organizing our action for the long-haul. Finally, Venus’ meet-up with Chiron encourages us to learn from the trailblazers who came before. If you believe in building a better world, it’s time to lock in.
