Summary

Episode 274

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 March 16th, 2026, is a mix of missing details and new beginnings. A dreamy New Moon in Pisces gives our intention-setting and creative genius a boost. The March Equinox and zodiacal new year spring us forward into a fresh start. And Mercury finally stations direct — though it’s still slogging through Pisces and continuing to cloud our communications. This is a time for careful review and much-needed renewal. Say goodbye to the retrograde rut.

This episode covers:

Mercury’s conjunction with the North Node on Tuesday, March 17th
Venus’ square to Jupiter on Wednesday, March 18th
The Sun’s sextile to Uranus on Wednesday, March 18th
The New Moon in Pisces (sextile Uranus) on Wednesday, March 18th
The Sun’s entrance into Aries and the March Equinox on Friday, March 20th
Mercury stations direct in Pisces on Friday, March 20th
Mars’ trine to Jupiter on Saturday, March 21st
The Neptune cazimi on Sunday, March 22nd
Mercury’s conjunction with the North Node on Sunday, March 22nd

0:00.0	The blessing and the curse of astrology is that it helps us understand what kind of cycle
0:06.3	of time we're in. What is the quality of this time? And the way it helps us do that is we can
0:13.6	look at, well, when was the last time this astrological event occurred? I wonder what was happening then. Now, it just so happens that in 26,
0:25.9	we are going through four major reoccurrences. One is Pluto and Aquarius. The last time Pluto
0:35.2	was an Aquarius, we had the American, French,
0:38.1	and Haitian revolution. We also had the industrial revolution. So, hello, robots. I know you're
0:44.9	listening. Then the next cycle of time we want to look at is Neptune in Ares and also Uranus in Gemini. The last time those things happened, we were in a
0:59.6	civil war. We were also experiencing reconstruction, obviously after the civil war, but this country
1:07.2	was going through probably one of the most important eras of its time didn't last.
1:13.9	That doesn't mean we cannot pick up that stitch once again.
1:19.7	And then the next time Uranus was in Gemini, which we could say was the last time Uranus was
1:25.3	in Gemini, it was World War II, which gave us,
1:29.5	of course, a new world order. It was a restructuring of how the world powers interacted.
1:40.5	Then we had a Saturn-Neptune conjunction 36 years ago.
1:46.1	Fall of the Berlin Wall, also a reconfiguring of the powers of Iran and like who the
1:54.3	supreme leader was.
1:56.1	So we find ourselves all at once back in those four cycles all together now.
2:04.9	All here right now.
2:07.1	Saturn and Neptune have just made a conjunction.
2:10.7	First time in 36 years.
2:12.7	Different sign, but first time in 36 years.
2:15.3	Neptune is back in Ares.
