The astrology of the week of January 8th, 2024, allows us to think big and into the future. On Monday, Mercury (the planet of communication) squares Neptune (the planet of illusions), muddying up the details in our lives. On Tuesday, the Sun trines Uranus (the planet of breakthroughs), bringing innovation to what we are building. Later on Tuesday, Mars sextiles Saturn (the planet of boundaries), helping us make specific, strategic moves toward a goal. On Wednesday, the Sun squares the lunar nodes (places where eclipses happen), marking a pivotal moment in a larger story related to the eclipses. On Thursday, there’s a New Moon in Capricorn, aiding us in devoting ourselves to a long-term plan. On Friday, Mars (the planet of action) trines Jupiter (the planet of abundance), helping us feel both resourced and victorious. On Saturday, Mercury moves into Capricorn, facilitating great conversations, especially next week. Keep in mind, the strategies and plans that we commit to this week have staying power. What would you like to put in place?

The Week of January 1st, 2024: Gathering momentum with Mercury direct and Mars entering Capricorn
Episode 159
In this podcast, New York Times bestselling 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 January 1st, 2024, starts out a bit measured and murky, but ends with greater speed and clarity. On Monday, Mercury (the planet of communication) stations direct, but since it’s in a square to Neptune (the planet of illusions), details will remain hazy. Also on Monday, Venus (the planet of love) squares Saturn (the planet of boundaries), bringing a bit of a reality check. On Thursday, Mars (the planet of action) moves into Capricorn, helping us get things done. Though this week starts out slow, by the end we’ll have the motivation to initiate our plans, boldly and practically, into the new year.

Episode 161
In this podcast, New York Times bestselling 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 January 15th, 2024, begins a brand new chapter. On Monday, the Sun sextiles Neptune (the planet of illusion), reminding us of our capacity for imagination and compassion. On Thursday, Mercury (the planet of communication) sextiles Saturn (the planet of boundaries), connecting us to conversations that are both inspiring and focused on the big picture. On Friday, Mercury trines Jupiter (the planet of abundance) and gives our communications a hopeful boost — then Venus (the planet of love) squares Neptune, tempting us to indulge in a little escapism. On Saturday, the Sun conjoins Pluto (the planet of transformation) in a cazimi, shining light on our financial systems before entering Aquarius and marking the start of Aquarius season. Finally, on Saturday, Pluto also enters Aquarius and begins unearthing deep collective change in the realm of technology and communication. It’s fun, it’s weird, and we hope it’s filled with quality moments.
