The Week of November 9th, 2026: Unlocking our next moves as Venus and Mercury station direct

Episode 308

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 November 9th, 2026, brings forward momentum. The Scorpio New Moon ushers in a fresh lunar cycle and helps make some necessary decisions. Then both Venus (the planet of love) and Mercury (the planet of communication) station direct on the same day, clearing the cosmic fog from our connections and helping us integrate all the wisdom we gained during their respective retrogrades. As Mars (the planet of action) and Jupiter (the planet of wisdom) meet up with the South Node (a fateful point of letting go) in Leo, things may take a turn for the dramatic and emotional. Just remember: Whatever patterns you release now will make space for the bold moves you need to take next.
