Episode 283
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 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.

seriously why do some astrologers have to go all in on political topics? Mandan is not my idea of a positive thing but, I was talking with my momma last night about how my view is kind of reform about how I feel about Bibi. A lot of jewish conservatives folks wouldn’t say this and I keep it to a bare minimum because I want to avoid antisemitism. My feeling is a bit reform in that if anyone says anything about the situation in Israel to just say Bibi instead of Israel. Cuz not all Jewish folks are on the side of Bibi in the war (myself included) as far as the killing happening in its name. And the day I order the 35mm film camera will be on June 10 but I made the decision. About what camera today. She is an astrologer I listen to at times to get opinions of the left (she is reform Jewish ethnicity and mentality) but yeah another reason why I wanna do my own predictive astrology is to avoid world noise but I’ll always listen to other astrologers frequently as well. Especially for this type of practice with mental stamina. ✡️🧿✡️🧿✡️🧿✡️🧿✡️🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿and the fact that I’m choosing the exact same 35mm film cavers proves the energy of the transit as well that I’m in tune with the planets that way. 🧿🧿🧿and yes, I have always wanted to do some in depth predictive astrology about specific transits, all 12 signs. (For each individual sign) It’s one of those things I plan on honing in on when learning about this stuff on this level. I’m glad I found that video on it yesterday. 🧿🧿🧿stuff at the house should be about ready to go back by approximately June 10 or maybe the third week in June. 🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿
the beach house is in Nehalem Bay, Oregon. First two weeks of June for sure (possibly three depending on stuff at home) 🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿
