Summary

Episode 277

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 April 6th, 2026, brings a surge of energy and a call to do something with it. The Sun’s exaltation in Aries gives us the confidence boost we need to be bold and blaze new trails, and Mars’ sextile to Uranus powers us to get our current projects over the finish line. Then Mars moves into Aries, meets up with Neptune, and turns up the urge to act fast on our dreams. Just remember to pace yourself. You can’t help build a better world if you burn out at the very beginning.

This episode covers:

The Sun’s exaltation degree in Aries on Tuesday, April 7th
Mars’ sextile to Uranus on Wednesday, April 8th
Mars’ entrance into Aries on Thursday, April 9th
Mars’ conjunction with Neptune on Sunday, April 12th
