## Resource

Episode 283 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 May 18th, 2026, changes the pace… and then changes it again. Mars moves into slow and steady Taurus as Venus enters caring Cancer, and their sextile offers us the nurturing we need after the rush of the last few weeks. Mercury is also on the move, sextiling Neptune, squaring the lunar nodes, and trining Pluto, which gives our conversations and connections a powerful boost. But when the Sun enters Gemini, it meets up with Uranus in the mutable air sign for the first time in 78 years. This cazimi is a wild card, sure to serve shocks, surprises, and sudden shifts — both personally and collectively. Now’s the time to get grounded in the things that matter most and get ready to work with some revolutionary energy. This episode covers: Mars’ entrance into Taurus on Monday, May 18th Venus’ entrance into Cancer on Monday, May 18th Mercury’s sextile to Neptune on Monday, May 18th Venus’ sextile to Mars on Monday, May 18th Mercury’s square to the lunar nodes on Tuesday, May 19th Mercury’s trine to Pluto Rx on Tuesday, May 19th The Sun’s entrance into Gemini on Wednesday, May 20th Venus’ square to Neptune on Thursday, May 21st The Uranus cazimi on Friday, May 22nd Mercury’s sextile to Saturn on Friday, May 22nd The Sun’s sextile to Neptune on Sunday, May 24th This episode was recorded on 05/11/2026.
