The Week of September 15th, 2025: Sharpening our focus with the solar eclipse

Episode 248

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 September 15th, 2025, wants us to get organized. Mercury (the planet of communication) moves into Libra (the sign of justice) and brings a flurry of information with it, thanks to the influence of three other planets. But the solar eclipse in Virgo asks us to figure out what we can clarify or cut out of our lives. Because the eclipse opposes Saturn (the planet of structure), we’re also called to sharpen our focus and get choosy about where we spend our energy. Let’s sort this sh*t out.
