Podcast: Astrology of the Week Ahead with Chani Nicholas
Published On: Mon Aug 10 2026
Description: Episode 295In 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 10th, 2026, signals big shifts in our leadership. As Mercury (the planet of comms) opposes Pluto (the planet of the underworld), tough conversations about the shadows lurking in our power dynamics are likely to surface. Plus, the solar eclipse at the South Node in Leo serves up a fiery reality check, puncturing overinflated egos and possibly dethroning tyrants. But when Mercury moves into a sweet sextile with Venus (the planet of connection) and meets up with Jupiter (the planet of abundance), we’re blessed with good news in our relationships and good luck in the messages we want to get across. Now is the time to be bold, creative, and brave in championing the causes you care about. Major change is in the air.This episode covers:Venus’ trine to Pluto on Monday, August 10thVenus’ opposition to Neptune Rx on Monday, August 10thMars’ entrance into Cancer on Tuesday, August 11th Mercury’s opposition to Pluto on Tuesday, August 11thMercury’s trine to Neptune on Tuesday, August 11thVenus’ trine to Uranus on Tuesday, August 11thThe solar eclipse in Leo on Wednesday, August 12thMercury’s sextile to Uranus on Wednesday, August 12thMercury’s sextile to Venus on Thursday, August 13thMercury’s conjunction with Jupiter on Saturday, August 15thThis episode was recorded on 08/04/2026.For more, check out your free daily horoscope on the homepage of the CHANI app — now on iOS and Android.Eclipse season is upon us, and we’re offering new and expired CHANI app users 30 days of free ritual tools, cosmic insights, and astro support from our team of real astrologers.
