Episode 296In 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 17thMercury’s trine to Saturn on Monday, August 17thVenus’ sextile to Jupiter on Monday, August 17thVenus’ opposition to Saturn on Friday, August 21stThe Sun’s conjunction with the South Node on Saturday, August 22ndThe Sun’s entrance into Virgo on Saturday, August 22ndThis episode was recorded on 8/4/2026.For more, check out your free daily horoscope on the homepage of the CHANI app — now on iOS and Android.Have you heard?
