Episode 283In 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 May 18th, 2026, changes the pace… and then changes it again. Mars moves into slow and steady Taurus as Venus enters caring Cancer, and their sextile offers us the nurturing we need after the rush of the last few weeks. Mercury is also on the move, sextiling Neptune, squaring the lunar nodes, and trining Pluto, which gives our conversations and connections a powerful boost. But when the Sun enters Gemini, it meets up with Uranus in the mutable air sign for the first time in 78 years. This cazimi is a wild card, sure to serve shocks, surprises, and sudden shifts — both personally and collectively. Now’s the time to get grounded in the things that matter most and get ready to work with some revolutionary energy.This episode covers:Mars’ entrance into Taurus on Monday, May 18thVenus’ entrance into Cancer on Monday, May 18thMercury’s sextile to Neptune on Monday, May 18thVenus’ sextile to Mars on Monday, May 18thMercury’s square to the lunar nodes on Tuesday, May 19thMercury’s trine to Pluto Rx on Tuesday, May 19thThe Sun’s entrance into Gemini on Wednesday, May 20thVenus’ square to Neptune on Thursday, May 21stThe Uranus cazimi on Friday, May 22ndMercury’s sextile to Saturn on Friday, May 22ndThe Sun’s sextile to Neptune on Sunday, May 24thThis episode was recorded on 05/11/2026.For more, check out your free daily horoscope on the homepage of the CHANI app — now on iOS and Android.The music featured in the podcast was created by Latashá.
