Summary
Episode 172
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 April 1st, 2024, asks us to be prepared for glitches and malfunctions. On Monday, Mercury (the planet of communication) stations retrograde in Aries, stirring up the typical trouble in the area of our lives that contains the sign of the ram. On Wednesday, Venus (the planet of love) conjoins Neptune (the planet of fantasy), creating a dreamy and romantic mid-week interlude. On Thursday, the Sun conjoins the North Node (aka the place where eclipses happen), adding a touch of instability to the ether as we prepare for the next eclipse. Also on Thursday, Venus enters Aries, adding some extra kindling to our connections. On Saturday, Venus sextiles Pluto (the planet of transformation), empowering us to strengthen our bonds with depth and prowess. So drink plenty of water and seek out ways to slow down and cool off this week.

| 1:04.4 | Jokes on us. For real. And it will be for the next three weeks. Next week's an eclipse. Last |
| 1:10.2 | week was an eclipse. When Mercury and the |
| 1:13.8 | eclipses pile up like they have been for the last little while, it's a lot. It's a lot to |
