Summary

Episode 125
In this podcast, New York Times bestselling 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 8th, 2023, starts out bumpy but ends with some clarity. On Tuesday, the Sun conjoins Uranus (the planet of disruption), clarifying the need for a specific kind of change in our lives — and possibly in the world. On Friday, Venus (the planet of love) trines Saturn (the planet of boundaries), asking us to commit to what brings us long-lasting sweetness. On Sunday, Mercury (the planet of communication) stations direct and prompts us to find the lessons in the recent misfires and breakdowns in our lives. So go slow. Sift through the details. Relax. And enjoy the physical pleasures surrounding you.

Hello and welcome. This is the Astrology of the Week Ahead podcast, and I am your host,

0:06.5

Chani Nicholas. In this podcast, we look at the astrology of the upcoming week

0:15.8

and how it will be landing for all of us collectively. For a more personalized reading that dives into the ways that this week's astrology will play out for you,

All right, y'all, this week starts out a little bumpy, a little revolutionary, a little eccentric, perhaps.

0:43.8

On Tuesday, we've got the sun in Taurus making a conjunction with Uranus.

0:49.2

It is the Uranus Kazimi, if you will, which seems to clarify the need for a specific kind of change in our

0:58.8

life and possibly in our world. This kind of spark, it is the light of the sun and the wildness and the freedom seeking influence of Uranus coming together.

1:15.3

And so it really does feel like a moment where we might be especially emboldened to do something

1:22.8

different. And we might see some headlines where people feel the need to go in a radically unique kind of way.

1:32.2

It is a week that shows us a lot about the power of disruption and the power of using our persona and our

1:41.3

persona and our identity for making change. So you might feel that at the beginning of the week,

1:46.8

there's something that is agitating. And the agitation can make us buck systems of tradition

1:54.5

for good reason or for no good reason at all. We really have to kind of manage that distinction on our own. Is this

2:04.7

something that I have to break down completely? Or is it something that just needs a little bit

2:10.6

of reinvention? Is it something that needs a 2.0? Does it need a systems update? Does it need a little bit of a shift? Or is it something

2:22.1

that has to be radical? This kind of astrology can seduce us into thinking that things have

2:28.1

to be extreme when really they don't. This is happening in Taurus, which is a fixed sign, and fixed signs have a little

2:37.3

bit of a penchant for being really stubborn. So when change happens in a stubborn kind of

2:47.2

scenario, it's a kind of all or nothing feeling. So remind yourself, it doesn't have to be all

2:54.2

or nothing unless it does, right? Sometimes we can only change by getting rid of what isn't working,

3:02.2

but and also the vitality of the sun reminds us that we have to replace what we break down with something new.
