Summary
Episode 282
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 May 11th, 2026, brings clarity and a little chaos. Mercury’s sextile to Jupiter helps us get practical and precise in our communications, and the Mercury cazimi offers an extra boost of insight. But when Mars runs into Chiron, our hurts get highlighted. And with the New Moon in Taurus sitting next to Algol (the fixed star associated with rage and betrayal), we’re called to honor our anger if we want to reclaim our power. Then, when Mercury moves into Gemini and meets up with Uranus, our wit and wild ideas get a jolt of high-voltage energy. So get clear on the things that need your attention and your honesty before Gemini season dials up the distractions.
This episode covers:
Mercury’s sextile to Jupiter on Tuesday, May 12th
The Mercury cazimi on Thursday, May 14th
Mars’ conjunction with Chiron on Saturday, May 16th
The New Moon in Taurus on Saturday, May 16th
Mercury’s entrance into Gemini on Sunday, May 17th
Mercury’s conjunction with Uranus on Sunday, May 17th
