Episode 299
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 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.
