Episode 289
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 29th, 2026, is explosive and action-packed. Mercury (the planet of communication) stations retrograde in Cancer, kick-starting an emotional — and eye-opening — trip down memory lane. Then a go-getter Full Moon in Capricorn asks us to up our TLC if we don’t want to burn out from chasing our goals, especially as Jupiter (the planet of growth) moves into Leo and insists we put our talents in the spotlight. And when Mars (the warrior planet) meets up with Uranus (the cosmic disruptor) in Gemini, we can expect a whole system shake-up that could make history. Now is the time to reflect on what’s been working well in your world, update anything you’ve outgrown, and think practically about how you want to reimagine the future.

Big week for Leos, wild week for Geminis, massive week for Capricorns, and kind of a glitchy week for Cancer. Hello and welcome. This is the Astrology of the Week Ahead podcast. I'm your host, your astro bestie, Chani Nicholas. In this episode, we are talking about the wild, wild week of June 29th. There is a year's worth of astrology in just Monday alone. Monday, Mercury stations retrograde. It's gonna be retrograde for most of July. For like the next three weeks, Mercury is going to be retrograding through Cancer. This is a sign that's really nostalgic. This is a sign that loves memories, that loves memorabilia, that loves to collect things and keep them forever in its little pincers. This is a Mercury retrograde where we are going to be in a process of remembering how we felt way back when. Something's gonna happen now that's gonna remind us of how we felt then. And this is the deal: each emotion that we have needs to do its thing. Each emotion that we have needs to be expressed because when it's expressed, it gets to live its little thing out,
