Episode 257
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 November 17th, 2025, is busy and a little intense. The New Moon in Scorpio reveals our deepest emotional patterns. The Mercury cazimi in Scorpio shows us which habits we need to break. And a flurry of other planetary activity brings a mix of clarity, disruption, and breakthroughs. This is the time to make the changes you need to make. But/and take a breather if you get overwhelmed. Growth doesn’t have to happen overnight.
