Astrology of the Week Ahead with Chani Nicholas - The Week of April 11th, 2022: Jupiter conjunct Neptune and the Full Moon in Libra

Episode Date: April 11, 2022

In this podcast, New York Times bestselling 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 April 11th, 2022, encourages us to boldly dream together. Jupiter and Neptune come together in Pisces in one of the most profound transits of the year (and possibly the century). Then, Mars joins Venus, Jupiter, and Neptune in Pisces and floods the planetary pool party. As the week comes to a close, the Full Moon in Libra squares up with Pluto, unearthing power dynamics in our collective relationships. This week’s astrology teaches us just how powerful our connections are, and it reminds us how much we need to be dedicated to cultivating communities of care.

The beautiful thing about being human is that we all have the ability to heal, to outgrow our limitations and to overcome our ignorance. The beautiful thing about being human is that we can all learn how to forgive and how to be forgiven. The problem with being human is that we are all too willing to give our power away. We are trained to invest in celebrity instead of communal prosperity. Buying into the myth of individualism forfeits our access to the inherent abundance available to us only through the strength of our relationships to each other and to the world at large. This is the astrology of the week ahead, and I'm your host, Chani Nicholas. In this podcast, we look at the astrology of the upcoming week and how it will be landing for all of us collectively.

All right, let's get on with the show. This week has some pretty spectacular astrological events occurring, the first of which, is the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction happening in Pisces, a water sign, a sign known for its ability to dream and imagine, and to escape the confines of the material world and all of its limitations. Now, these two haven't made a conjunction in this sign since the 1850s. So it's a big deal.

It's only happening once. Sometimes in astrology things happen three times, but this is only happening once. It's only happening this week. It will not happen again in our lifetimes. So it's pretty special. And it's always good to know what it might mean. There's pros and cons to every astrological signature out there. Some will veer on the side of more good and some will veer on the side of more chaos and more challenge.

This one definitely veers on the side of more good, but can also be a little bit of too much of a good thing going on. So we want to move with this astrology with some caution because there are a couple of red flags. And we want to enjoy the beautiful, bountiful flow that this signature can bring in because those are the green lights. of the moment that we want to work with and make use of. Again, to find out where this is happening for you and what it means for you, download the Chani app and listen to your personal reading in the workshop section of the app. You can also read your Jupiter and Pisces horoscope. That is free and that is on the homepage of the app and also on our website,

Channingnichloss.com. So definitely read your horoscope if you don't have the app. and consider reading your rising sign for a more detailed reading on where this is happening in your life and what it might mean for you. In general slash for all of us, this week's astrology encourages us to dream and to dream boldly. We have to imagine the world that we most want to make manifest. Together, Jupiter and Neptune open up a portal for. that kind of dreaming. It allows us to perceive what is possible, but not yet here. We have to be able to imagine and dream ourselves into the future. It is essential. And any visionary, any

activist, any artist whose work stands the test of time has done exactly that. So it's a really good time to reread your favorites or maybe discover new authors, new thinkers, new artists, new activists that are able to do that, that had the dream way before it was ever a reality. And to imagine that kind of audacity, to imagine that kind of courage within yourself, and to imagine living into that dream in very real ways. Now, the downside or the red flags of this astrology is that misinformation and delusions and derailments can run amok. So we also want to guard ourselves from the many poisons that infiltrate our systems. This is not a time to flood your system with information that only has you.

you feeling like you've ingested too many toxins as a result. This astrology can overwhelm or flood our system and as a result be quite intoxicating. So we don't want to be handling the metaphoric heavy machinery of definitive decision making if we don't have to. This is a time to allow ourselves the most expansive visions and versions of our dreams as possible. This week is that point in the brainstorming sessions where all ideas are good ideas. Everything is accepted. Bring it all. And later we'll go through it and parse it out one by one by one by one. But at this point, we don't want to be trying to hem things in or trying to try to to make something happen when it's just at the ideation phase.

This is a beautiful time to be in all of the creative possibility of your life and of a given situation. And at this moment, people may be more prone to buying into the next pyramid scheme than they usually are. So go to the deepest wells of wisdom that you have access to. The world is always running amok and revealing itself as not really doing so itself. Each of us individually have to move towards those sources of deep wisdom in our life every single day so that that is where we are sourcing our sustenance from. If we get on social media every morning and try to source wisdom from that place where everybody is acting out their greatest insecurities and fears and needs, we're going to get lost in that soup. So being very conscientious of what impressions you're feeding yourself, what impressions you're allowing to be part of your everyday,

lived reality and what sources you are going to, what wells are you drawing from? This is a beautiful time to consider going deeper than you might normally go or just reaffirming that the wells you are going to have that kind of soulful hydration available. Fakes and frauds love to run amok and are able to run wild with this astrology. So it's up to each and every one of us to be as discerning as we possibly can to be critical in our thinking while giving ourselves the opportunity to bask in this moment of splendor and also a moment that is quite spiritual in nature. This is a moment where we will be yearning for transcendence. So get to the ocean, get to the sources of water that are around you, get to your meditation group, and do all of the spiritual practices and

rituals that you know hold you and help you to have a container for a kind of spiritual transcendent experience because this is the week to remember that aspect of yourself and remember that aspect of your life because it can float us for quite a while as long as we are grounded in our approach to it and not using it as a mere means of escaping this world and our responsibilities in it and the beauty of it. Okay, so that's a little bit about Jupiter and Neptune and their conjunction this week. We'll be feeling it for a while, but it makes it self-known and is an exact aspect this week on the 12th of April. The next thing to know about is that on the 14th of April, Mars moves in to Pisces. Please read your Mars and Pisces horoscope. It will be live in the app on

the 14th. Mars moving into Pisces signals a moment where there's just a lot of planets in Pisces. There is Venus, now Mars, Jupiter, and Neptune. So the feeling of a flooding, of surfing, of needing to ride these waves and find your way into the flow is very predominant at the moment. Then on the 16th of April, at 1155 a.m. Pacific time, the full moon in Libra occurs. This full moon is all about connection, relationships, and how we build with each other. This full moon is square Pluto. So it's unearthing power dynamics in our collective relationships. It's also showing the obstacles or the discordant notes in our relationship and how we need to deal with the

subterranean themes that are going on in our relationships in order to get to anything that resembles balance or equity or fairness or justice. So it's a really good time the whole weekend to look at how fairness plays out in your partnerships, in your relationships, and how we can collectively source everything we need from each other. We really can't exist in this world. We really will not make it as a species if we keep going for individual success. There is no such thing as individual success because ultimately it destroys collective care and responsibility, which then just degenerates the whole society, which then impacts the individual. And this is the kind of full moon because it's happening at that Jupiter-Neptune conjunction moment

where we're reminded of how important it is to pay attention to how things are impacting the whole. Jupiter and Neptune making a conjunction in Pisces is a masterclass in interconnectedness. And a full moon in Libra is a master class on relationships. So there's a lot here this week about how we impact one another and how centering the quality of our connections can transform the quality of our life. Because this full moon is square Pluto. it is not an easy feat. This full moon reminds us how deeply we need to dig into our own reactions and assumptions

and projections in relationships in order to save the quality of them, in order to give them the room they need to breathe, the space they need to find themselves, and the tools that we need to develop in order. to work through the challenging hiccups and corners and ouchy moments that we all inevitably experience with each other. So I'm not saying that it's easy on relationships this week, but it does also point to just how powerful our connections are and reminds us how much we need to be dedicated to cultivating communities of care. They don't just happen on their

own. They need time, they need effort, they need resources, they need our whole self. And when we give that, inevitably over time, they give us everything back. All right, y'all, I hope this was helpful. I hope that if you are a subscriber to the Chani app that you click on the workshop icon at the bottom of your screen and you go to this week's reading and give them. that I'll listen to because it will be much more specific to you and your life. There's also a guided meditation for this week's full moon. There is also journal prompts specific to your chart for this full moon and this astrology. And there's also a ritual for you to do for this full moon.
