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 June 1st, 2026, gets us ready to welcome abundance. As Mercury enters Cancer — where Venus and Jupiter will join forces next week — it’s an invitation to start thinking, talking, and journaling about the intentions we want to nurture. The Sun’s sextile to Saturn also offers a supportive boost to anything we’re planning or committing to moving forward. And while Mercury’s square with Neptune may bring a temporary fog to our comms, it also gives us a chance to lean on our imagination and dream up the future we want to live in. Now’s the time to plant seeds for any magic you want to manifest.
This episode covers:
- Mercury’s entrance into Cancer on Monday, June 1st
- The Sun’s sextile to Saturn on Tuesday, June 2nd
- Mercury’s square to Neptune on Wednesday, June 3rd
