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 January 23rd, 2023, is ripe with blessings. On Tuesday, the Sun sextiles Jupiter (the planet of abundance) and gives us a long overdue confidence boost. On Thursday, Venus (the planet of love) enters Pisces, ushering ease into the part of our chart that contains the sign of the fish. On Sunday, the Sun trines Mars (the planet of action) and pumps us up with the energy to move forward with our schemes and dreams. Then, later that same day, Mercury (the planet of communication) trines Uranus (the planet of innovation), which helps us find innovative solutions to any communication snafus. Overall, it’s a pretty cute week. For more, check out your free daily horoscope on the homepage of the CHANI app. Android users can receive their free daily horoscope on the CHANI website.

All right, y'all, no more excuses, no more waiting around, no more reviewing. No more pivoting forward. We're starting to get going. We are starting to find our way. We are synthesizing and integrating all of the lessons that we have been learning and all of the ways in which we have reviewed and taken stock and been able to put some new plans together. Okay. So this week, we have a couple. of really cute things. Actually, there's nothing this week that feels like a challenge. Everything this

week is actually really cute and feels like a gift. We only have good news to talk about, which of course I love because far too often, I am the bearer of challenging news. So on Tuesday, the 24th of January, We have a really lovely sex style, so an exciting, encouraging aspect between the sun in Aquarius and Jupiter in Aries. Now, there's a special relationship here because the sun does really well. It's called being exalted when it's in Ares and Jupiter's sign. And so Jupiter is like gifting the sun some special sauce from a place that the sun has like a lot of resonance with.

and the sun and Jupiter are on the same team. So they speak the same language. They're both what we call day planets or diurnal planets. And so they really can assist each other. Now, more than anything, the sun gets to benefit from Jupiter's bounty and buoyance. And it just feels like this is a confidence booster. So even more than we're finally out of Mars retrograde and we're finally out of Mercury. retrograde. This week is like, okay, we got some good stuff going on. We have gas in the tank.

Let's get going. And here's some courage and encouragement and some get up and go in your morning, Joe. So we love this. We start out with a very encouraging and confidence boosting sex style between the sun and Jupiter. Then on Thursday the 26th, we get one of the sweet. We get one of the sweet, greatest Venus moments of the year. Venus enters Pisces, the sign of its exaltation, on the 26th of January, and it will only be there until February 19th. So we don't have a lot of time with this lovely little concoction, but what it does do is it blesses the part of our chart that contains Pisces with some ease, some openness, and a lot of reciprocity. So any planet in Pisces is going to be a lot more chill, like totally okay with some mess and very go with the flow.

But Venus and Pisces does this with a kind of charisma that barely any other planet may be safe for Jupiter does. So when a planet is exalted, it's kind of put up on a pedestal, which can be problematic if it's in our chart. It can also be very, very, very helpful. But when it's transiting like this one, as Venus transits through Pisces and through the part of our chart that contains Pisces, it's just going to give us a little cosmic lubricant. It's going to help us to access a little extra pleasure, some more delight, some extra sweetness, and maybe even some love and connection. So we love that this is amplified at the beginning of the year and that it's like a gift for getting through Mars and Mercury retrograde. So again, here we go. We're starting out,

2023, a little late, but very fashionably. Venus is also in charge of fashion and beauty. And in Pisces, that is also upheld. That is also exalted and appreciated. And then the other moments that we want to speak about in this week's astrology happen on Sunday, the 29th of January. These are also really helpful little boosts that we get. The sun goes from that very encouraging and confidence boosting sex style to Jupiter to a trine with Mars. Again, now direct. Here, the sun and Mars can be like, okay, what's the plan? What's our strategy?

How are we going to win this battle? How are we going to move? How are we going to get the thing we need? And so again, it feels like a really helpful pep talk. for us personally, especially in regards to the area of our chart where this happens. We go through all of that in your weekly readings on the Chani app, of course. And then also on Sunday, Mercury, the translator, the messenger, the storyteller, the microphone, gets a trine or lines up to make a trine with Uranus.

And here we are. We're finding solution. Look at us. Look at us. problem solving. Look at us having confidence. Look at us going for it. Look at us being like, oh, I learned this lesson. I'm going to make my way towards the 2.0 update and get what I need and keep going. This is a alignment that happened before Mercury stationed retrograde, during Mercury's retrograde, and now post-retrograde. So this really is the moment where we get to put the solutions

together and again make some updates to our systems, to the ways we do things, and to the ways we we communicate. It is about finding solution. And I would say this whole week is about finding solution and finding some ease and going with it. Thank you all so much for leaving reviews in the app store. I wanted to share one with you by Mama 8111. it's called by far the most inclusive app out there. I refuse to pay for monthly subscriptions,

but this app has made me cave. It is worth its weight in gold. I've tried other astrology slash horoscope apps, but none offer as much in-depth information as this one. I am by no means a beginner in the field, but this is perfect for nobs and veterans alike. I love, that it has so much info on transits and so many extras. Everything I need is in one place. Cannot say great enough things. Mad props to the creators. So may Venus and Pisces bless our way forward into the next couple of weeks at the very least. And may we find what works and go with it. All right, y'all, that is the reading for the week.

I'm sending you so much love, many blessings. Let's get going. 2023. Here we come. Bye for now.
