Astrology of the Week Ahead with Chani Nicholas

Episode 289
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.

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.

Episode 287
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 15th, 2026, brings big opportunities for growth. As Venus makes a supportive sextile to Uranus and trine to Neptune, we’re encouraged to explore the wilds of our imagination and experiment with how we express ourselves. But when Venus opposes Pluto, and Chiron enters Taurus, we’re brought back down to Earth to heal the hurts lurking beneath the surface — especially around our relationships with ourselves, our bodies, each other, and the natural world. Then the June Solstice arrives as the perfect mid-year checkpoint. It’s time to review your 2026 intentions, reflect on how far you’ve come, and commit to the strategies that are working as you head into the second half of the year.
This episode covers:
Venus’ sextile to Uranus on Monday, June 15th

Venus’ trine to Neptune on Tuesday, June 16th

Venus’ opposition to Pluto on Wednesday, June 17th

Chiron’s entrance into Taurus on Friday, June 19th

The Sun’s entrance into Cancer and the June Solstice on Sunday, June 21st

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 8th, 2026, is some of the sweetest and most supportive of 2026. When Venus and Jupiter meet up in Cancer, we’re gifted a healthy dose of care, compassion, and reconnection in our relationships. At the same time, Mercury’s square to Saturn turns up our critical thinking and asks us to think constructively about how we can work with abundance to reclaim our power. And then the New Moon in Gemini sparks our curiosity about what we can reinvent and revolutionize as Uranus begins this new era in the sign of the twins. Now is the time to lean in to your potential, center joy, and nurture your community.

The astrology of the week of June 1st, 2026, gets us ready to welcome abundance. As Mercury enters Cancer — where Venus and Jupiter will join forces next week — it’s an invitation to start thinking, talking, and journaling about the intentions we want to nurture. The Sun’s sextile to Saturn also offers a supportive boost to anything we’re planning or committing to moving forward. And while Mercury’s square with Neptune may bring a temporary fog to our comms, it also gives us a chance to lean on our imagination and dream up the future we want to live in. Now’s the time to plant seeds for any magic you want to manifest.
