Episode 268

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 2nd, 2026, asks us to get the message. In the wake of shake-ups from last week’s Full Moon in Leo, Uranus — the planet of disruption — stations direct in Taurus, issuing a warning about injustice and encouraging us to get creative with our rage. Then Mercury and Venus both make a square to Uranus, further emphasizing our need for collective liberation. Now is the time to clarify the connections and causes that matter most — before eclipse season starts.

This episode covers:

The Full Moon in Leo on Sunday, February 1st
The end of Uranus’ retrograde on Tuesday, February 3rd
Mercury’s square to Uranus on Thursday, February 5th
Mercury’s entrance into Pisces on Friday, February 6th
Venus’ square to Uranus on Sunday, February 8th
