Summary
Episode 272
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 2nd, 2026, is a real rollercoaster. In the middle of a messy Mercury retrograde in Pisces, Venus reaches its exaltation degree in the same sign, giving our connections and creativity a much-needed boost. Then the lunar eclipse in Virgo reminds us to let go of perfectionism in the fight for liberation. And Venus moves into fiery Aries, where it meets up with Neptune and Saturn, serving up both daydreams and reality checks. Now is the time to come together and clear out any clutter clouding our vision for the future.
This episode covers:
Mars’ entrance into Pisces on Monday, March 2nd
Venus’ exaltation degree in Pisces on Monday, March 2nd
The South Node lunar eclipse in Virgo on Tuesday, March 3rd
Venus’ sextile to Uranus on Wednesday, March 4th
The Sun’s trine to Jupiter on Thursday, March 5th
Venus’ entrance into Aries on Friday, March 6th
The Mercury cazimi on Saturday, March 7th
Venus’ conjunction with Neptune on Saturday, March 7th
