## Resource

Episode 271 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 February 23rd, 2026, asks us to save our receipts and buckle our seatbelts. Mercury (the planet of communication) stations retrograde in Pisces, muddling our messages and calling us to double check the details. The Sun meets up with the North Node, reminding us that the chaos of eclipse season isn’t over yet. And Mars (the warrior planet) faces off with Uranus (the disruptor), underscoring our collective uncertainty. Now’s the time to expect the unexpected — and re-read the fine print, just in case.
