Episode 253
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 October 20th, 2025, is equal parts sunshine and shadows. The New Moon in Libra spotlights sweetness, connection, and fresh starts — and then the Sun moves into broody Scorpio, where it faces off with the planet of power. This is a time to honor both the light and the dark, to embrace what scares us as much as what soothes us. Ready to go deep?
