Summary
Episode 284
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 25th, 2026, challenges us to keep our eyes on the prize. When Mars squares off with Pluto, tensions run high and we need to pick our battles wisely. Then, as Venus squares Saturn, our relationships come under review, and if we aren’t careful with our boundaries, we’ll get our feelings hurt. But the wild Full Moon in Sagittarius makes it all worth it — liberating us from outdated expectations and stoking our unfiltered creative expression. Now’s the time to focus and follow the energy that feeds you. If you do, it will set you free.
This episode covers:
The Sun’s square to the lunar nodes on Monday, May 25th
Mars’ square to Pluto on Monday, May 25th
The Sun’s trine to Pluto on Tuesday, May 26th
Venus’ square to Saturn on Thursday, May 28th
The Full Moon in Sagittarius on Sunday, May 31st

| 0:00.0 | I need you to go pull up your chart in the Chaniap and go and see if you have any planets or points, |
| 0:07.2 | like your ascendant, your mid-heaven, your I-C, or DC at 0-1-2, 3, 4, 5, or even 6 degrees of |
| 0:18.0 | Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius. If you do, you are most likely having a very extreme |
| 0:30.1 | experience of life. It might be extremely agitating. It might be extremely uncomfortable. It might just feel like life is very |
| 0:40.3 | extreme in its presentation right now, which can be clarifying and helpful in that kind of |
| 0:47.5 | extreme setup. And what is it trying to spur you into action about? |
| 0:57.1 | Hello and welcome. |
| 0:59.2 | This is the astrology of the week ahead podcast. |
| 1:02.2 | I'm your host, your Astro Bestie, Chani Nicholas, in this episode, we're talking about |
| 1:07.5 | the astrology for the week of May 25th. |

| 1:25.8 | And I say suspect because anything that happens in a friction-based |
| 1:30.3 | aspect or relationship with Pluto is something to be wary of because Pluto is all about what |
| 1:37.8 | happens underneath the surface. It's all about what is hidden. It is about power and influence and all of the things that we |
| 1:47.6 | cannot see. And Mars is a planet of friction, of audacity, of bravery, and of conflict. So quite |
| 1:56.4 | often when we have Mars and Pluto making a tense kind of aspect or in a tense friction-based |
| 2:02.7 | relationship like a square like it is on Monday, you'll have the powers that be, the sociopaths |
| 2:09.7 | in charge, doing their thing, which is never good for humankind or the earth itself. So I don't |
| 2:16.8 | know what's going on in May 25th, |
| 2:18.5 | but if something is happening out in the world, that feels quite hostile. I would say that lines up |
