Summary
Episode 270
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 February 16th, 2026, pushes us head-first into a new era. The solar eclipse in Aquarius kicks off an eclipse cycle about leadership and people power, challenging us to turn chaos into liberation. Then Saturn (the planet of structure) and Neptune (the planet of imagination) make a super-rare connection in fiery Aries. We’ve been building toward this moment for years, but now it’s time to join forces, envision a way through the mess, and get to work. Intense? Definitely. But this moment gives us everything we need to start fresh — together.
This episode covers:
Mercury’s trine to Jupiter on Monday, February 16th
The solar eclipse in Aquarius on Tuesday, February 17th
The Sun’s entrance into Pisces on Wednesday, February 18th
Saturn’s conjunction with Neptune on Friday, February 20th
The Moon’s exaltation in Taurus on Saturday, February 21st
Venus’ trine to Jupiter on Sunday, February 22nd
This episode was recorded on 01/13/2025.

| 0:00.0 | I usually start these podcasts off with three things about this week. |
| 0:04.7 | And I just don't know if I can be that reductive. |
| 0:09.9 | This week holds within it. |
| 0:12.8 | These next seven days hold within it. |
| 0:15.7 | Two massively important astrological signatures, one of which hasn't happened in a couple of decades, |
| 0:26.2 | the other of which hasn't happened in a few decades. So we're talking like 20-ish years almost |
| 0:33.0 | in about 36-ish years. So when things come along that haven't happened in a long time, |
| 0:40.6 | we want to pay attention to them because we know that they're rare. And then when one or more |
| 0:46.1 | of those things happen within the same seven days, we know that this is a week and this is a time period to pay attention to because it signals |
| 0:58.9 | a moment of rapid change. I just want to let you know because of the difficult astrology |
| 1:06.4 | that we're going through, because of the game changing astrology that we're going through, |
| 1:10.1 | because the astrology that we are going through because of the game changing astrology that we're going through because the astrology that we are going through currently asks us to be so deeply |

| 1:32.2 | support 30 and you will have access to monthly readings, weekly readings, like you can listen |
| 1:39.2 | to a reading for every month of the year. You can map out the whole thing. We've got meditations. |
| 1:44.3 | We've got sleep stories. We've got affirmations. We have a Saturn return course. If you were |
| 1:50.7 | Saturn and Ares and you just entered your Saturn return first time or second time because we |
| 1:56.9 | go through one in our late 50s, you've got that as a resource. We want to resource |
| 2:04.5 | you. We want to be resourced together. And we're hoping that 30 days of absolutely free access |
| 2:10.9 | to the app does just that. Please share with your friends, your family, anyone that you think |
| 2:17.0 | might benefit from it. |
