Summary

Episode 265

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 January 12th, 2026, is equal parts stable and spontaneous. Venus mingles with four other planets, sparking long-term connections and spur-of-the-moment meetups. Mercury also aspects four other planets, initiating important convos about abundance. And the New Moon in Capricorn helps us wrap up the projects we launched around the December Solstice. This is a busy time, so make sure you’re sleeping as much as you’re socializing.

  • Mercury’s opposition to Jupiter on Wednesday, January 14th

  • Venus’ sextile to Saturn on Wednesday, January 14th

  • Venus’ trine to Uranus on Thursday, January 15th
