As Venus makes a supportive sextile to Uranus and trine to Neptune, we’re encouraged to explore the wilds of our imagination and experiment with how we express ourselves.

What happens this week hasn't happened in over four decades. What happens this week hasn't happened since 1984. What happens this week is that every single tourist is going to get a little note, a little phone call, a little text, a little DM from the universe that says, the doctor will see you now. Hello and welcome. This is the astrology of the week ahead podcast. I'm your host, your astro bestie, Chani Nicholas.

In this episode, we are talking about the week of June 15th and the astrology there within. And by far, the most stunning thing to happen this week is that Chiron, the minor planet associated with healing and teaching and learning is changing signs on the 19th of June. That's Friday. So what does this mean for us? Well, for everybody, it means something. And on Friday, I want you to make sure you've downloaded the Chani app and you've turned on your little notifications. And on Friday, I want you to watch for the moment, you get the little pop up that says, Kiron has entered Taurus. And then I want you to click on that and read your horoscope. Otherwise, go to the main page, go to the today's page, scroll down and go to your planet.

Hauroscopes and just click through until you get to Chiron. And in fact, at the beginning of the week, read your Chiron in Ares horoscope because it'll talk about where Chiron has been for the last many years. It's been there since 2018. And so we're ending, we're wrapping up that journey. It's not quite over. Chiron will pop back into Aries later this year. But for now, we're moving on to New Thing.

And then on Friday, I want you to read totally free. Everybody can download the Cheney up for free. read these horoscopes for free. Read the horoscope for Chiron and Taurus because it'll talk about the area of your life. You don't even have to have a planet there. You don't have to have a point there. The area of your life that is going to be impacted by Chiron and Taurus. Taurus is a sign that is ruled by Venus. Taurus is a sign of luxury and beauty and sweetness and slowness. Chiron is a minor planet associated with healing. One of the things that, that this combination says to me is that we have to slow down to heal. We don't have to stay

slow. We don't have to be slow at everything. We don't have to stop. Certainly we don't stop. But there's a huge benefit in slowing down, feeling the body, getting quiet in nature, and allowing there to be a synchronization between us and the natural rhythms of life. This is anti-AI. I'm anti-AI. Anybody here most likely is. The Chani app and our entire company is AI free. When you join our community here, you are joining a community of

people that believes in the quality of all living beings lives here on Earth. So human life is really important. Animal life, the life of all living beings, essential, top level importance, taking care of the planet and all living beings on the planet. That is Chiron and Taurus. It's saying there's a major wound here. We don't need data centers. We need a way to rewild the world so that we can flourish again.

Kairan and Torres says that there is abundance here for all. And that is what we need to heal. That in our mindset, we need to heal that because we live in such extractive systems. All of them tell us, just take everything you can. the one who can take the most wins. We live in systems that reward sociopaths. We live in systems that reward thieves. We live in systems that reward those that steal and plunder and worse.

So, Chiron and Taurus is like, if you want to heal and you want to stay alive here on the planet, slow it down. You don't need more information. I don't need a robot to tell me things like that. I actually need to sit and think and learn slowly and methodically so that I can deepen my awareness of what it is I want to be in a relationship with. Did I mention that Chiron in Taurus was ruled by Venus, the planet of relationships, the planet of beauty, the planet of what we value? It is.

And so those are some things that we need to think about. on this healing journey with Chiron and Taurus. And it just so happens that Monday and Tuesday are gorgeous little Venus moments. And they're also really good days for making magic and manifesting. So let's talk about it. On Monday and Tuesday, the moon is going to be in cancer. And it's going to be approaching mercury in cancer, slowing down about to be retrograde, but that's another story. It's slowly approaching Mercury and Cancer and then Jupiter in cancer. And the moon loves to be in cancer. So it's just a really good time, no matter what else is going on, for a little bit of magic. At the same time, Venus is going to be making a sex style to Uranus on Monday and a trine to Neptune

on Tuesday. What this says to me is that these are really good days, Monday and Tuesday. They're really good days to nurture and nourish anything that you want to bring into being. But they're also really good days to radically align yourself with what you value. To be very loud and very obvious about what you value and what you believe in. And to align yourself with that is to make magic happen. Remember, Venus is the planet that helps us to attract what we want. more of. And when we are not radically aligned, like down to the root, radically aligned with the things that we value, we end up attracting things that we don't actually want, that we don't

actually like that much, that we don't actually value, that don't actually make us happy. The thing about the ways in which technology is fed to us most of the time is to make life conflict free to make everything smooth and easy and to our liking. That is not life. Venus is the planet of pleasure, but pleasure is not about being frictionless, quite the opposite, if you know what I mean. But pleasure is about struggling, struggling with right and wrong, struggling with our morality, struggling with what we believe in, struggling with the people that we care about. Like struggle and conflict is good for us. Having disagreements is important. I don't want to be fed only things that a robot thinks I like.

That's not pleasure. That's being siloed. I don't want everything to be a convenience. that's not pleasure, that's numbing out. That's being dislocated from the world around me. That's not pleasure. That's being numbed into silence. And so Venus is in Leo right now. Leo's a very loud sign. And when it makes that sex style with uranus on Monday,

it's here to like wake us up. It's here to shake us and say, what is it that you want? not what is it are you being fed. Turn it off. Turn all the distractions off for a moment and think about what is it that you actually want? And how can you radically, fully, totally align yourself with that thing? And then watch what happens. Because as the moon moves closer to Jupiter, it gets better and better and better. And so Monday and Tuesday again are here to make magic with. Tuesday, Venus, you know, aligns with dreamy Neptune.

And it asks us to think about how we're creating beyond the bounds. And the moon is still in cancer and moving closer to Jupiter. So again, these two days are really good for manifestation through a clarification of our values and aligning with them radically and then dreaming from that place. Wednesday is a different story. Wednesday, Venus comes up against Pluto. Venus is in Leo. Pluto is an Aquarius. They make an opposition. This is tense. This is taught. This is a deep excavation of our relationship issues and the power dynamics there within. And it is a good old-fashioned cleansing of anything and everything that gets in the way of our intimacy. But again, it's going to be loud because it's Venus in Leo.

And then on Friday, Chiron moves in to a Venus ruled sign. So it's a big week for relationships. It's a big week for our intimacy issues. And it's a big week for clarifying what it is we value. Now, the interesting thing about Chiron and Taurus is that Chiron was in Taurus when we humans discovered it. So the last time Chiron was in Taurus in the late 70s, we were like, hey, wait a minute, there's a thing in between Saturn and Uranus.

There's this other little planetary body. And so we were like, wait a minute. Hey, you and astrologers were like, ooh, yes, Chiron. Okay, great. We'll work with that. So it's a very modern planet, planetary body, minor planet. But this is its own Chiron return. Kairn is having its own Kyrin return. Isn't that cute? Because it happens about every 51-ish years.

So Kairan's having its own Kiron return in terms of us discovering it. Maybe we, humanity, are having our own Kiron return. Oddly, in the chart for the Kyrin return, Jupiter was in cancer then as well, and the moon was in cancer. So the moon won't be in cancer when Kairon goes into Taurus, but it is in cancer early in the week. It just feels like, oh, that's a really interesting parallel mirrored, rhyming kind of moment. Now, we were in an oil crisis then. We, I think, are still now. A couple times before that when Chiron was in Taurus, there was the great stock market crash. Does that mean that we're going to have a big huge economic upsets? No. I mean, obviously we are in some pretty interesting times that are very unstable economically.

And obviously, AI and the way that it's being forced upon us is displacing a great number of people. Chiron and Taurus is going to be in a square with Pluto in Aquarius. And so Chiron and Taurus, if Chiron's talking about the wound and the medicine and the healing, and it's in Taurus, which is about the earth, but it's also about material well-being, then there's a wound there that needs to be addressed. And if Pluto and Aquarius is about technology perhaps and innovation perhaps, and also about wealth inequality, because the last time Pluto was in Aquarius, we had the French Revolution, Haitian Revolution, American Revolution. So it's very much like the top 1%, the oligarchy, the, you know, extracting class, the succubus class, the vampire class that just takes and takes and takes and takes and takes from the rest of us, the ones who just absorb all of the wealth and then hoard it, the hoarding class, that was very much challenged last time Pluto was an Aquarius.

So again, we don't know what's going to bring us. together this time. Will it be the data centers? Will it be the oligarchs? All those things are connected. We are all going to suffer greatly if we don't come together in solidarity and do something to divest from these monstrous systems that just try to take and take and take and take and take. And obviously, the earth is just at like beyond crisis point. So like, who needs another data center? I need water and air. I need food. My babies do. My friends do. My family does. My elders do. My teachers do. My nurses do. My doctor. You know what I mean? Like, what are we doing? So there's that feeling with Chiron being back in Taurus. Like, okay, this is about healing our wound with the material world.

And it's not a personal thing. It's a systemic thing because the ways in which this iteration of capitalism works is to literally break the bodies of people, animals, and earth. To amass everything it can. For what? I'm not sure. To go live on Mars? Go ahead. Please leave. We will figure things out down here by ourselves without you. That's just my little take on things. Okay, so Kairon's moving into Taurus. Kairan's having its own Kairon return. The discovery chart for Kairan is having its Kairn return. People born between 1976-ish and 1984-ish probably have Kairn and Taurus. Go check the Chani app. See if you have Kiron and Taurus. Read all about it. See what house it's in. That's where Kairns returning to. Read your Kiron and Taurus horoscope once it gets to Friday. in the Chaniap. And anyone who has any placement in Taurus is eventually going to have a Chiron

conjunction to that planet. And that differs depending on the planet. But for those of you that have like ascendant, mid-heaven, Venus, sun, moon, Mars, Mercury, you'll notice once Kairon gets to one of those planets that you're going to be obsessed with healing. You're going to be obsessed with how you administer the medicine, the salve, the remedy that you need. You're going to want to be like, huh, what kind of herbs? What kind of manual techniques? Like, it's very tactile. It's very physical. Taurus is a sign of material life. It's a big, body, it's earth, it's everything you can touch. And Chiron is about how to heal the literal body. This is very much about going back to our roots, going back to older traditional ways of

understanding the body and healing. Always go to the doctor, always get all the opinions. I love science. I think vaccines are very important. I have all of them. And I like to understand all the different healing modalities that are available to me. Herbs are very important plants, plant medicines, very important with Chiron and Taurus. And obviously, the roots of pharmaceuticals are all from plants. So, you know, that's Chiron and Taurus is very much about what is medicine, what is healing, and how can we administer it? And then on Sunday, it's the solstice. On Sunday the 21st, the sun moves into cancer and it's the summer in the

northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere. It's the solstice. It's an energizing moment. It is a moment of big change. We've moved into a pinnacle moment of light or dark, depending on what hemisphere you're in. But it is a pinnacle moment for the sun. And this is the time. where we want to look back to the last solstice, the solstice in December or around January 1st and say, okay, what were the seeds? What were the intentions that I planted then? They should be halfway now. Am I halfway now? Do I still like those goals, those intentions? Am I living in that intention? Am I aligned with my values? Am I living life via my values? Am I living life via my intentions that I set? If not, maybe they're not the right ones and I need to readjust. This is a good time to check in with

what you were doing at the end of December, beginning of January, and to see now that we're halfway through the year, has it going. What do we need to shift? What do we need to change? What have you learned about your time, your capacity, what you want to center and what you value. Okay, now it's time for a question from the audience. Hi, Chani. Thank you for. everything you do, I enjoy just all the readings and everything in the app, all the resources. Thank you to you and your team. My question is about Chiron, specifically Chiron returning. So I have Chiron in Taurus in my ninth house, and I understand that in June, this will be a

Chiron return. So how will that kind of come to play in terms of what could someone expect? and how often does Chiron return happen in one's lifetime? Thank you, much love. So again, Chiron returns about every 51, 52-ish years. So, you know, if you want to live into your hundreds, great, maybe you'll have two. For most of us, this is the one. We have one, or we live through one, God willing, you know, hopefully, maybe two, but mostly one. So it's about, again, moving into our eldership, our wisdomhood. We live in a year. youth-obsessed culture, your Chiron return is the antithesis of that. Your Chiron return is like, look, I have some time in the saddle, I have some notches in my belt, I know what I'm talking about,

I've been around the block, I've come back here to say this. I don't want to be 20. Great, good, I love you at 20, I love you at 30, I love you at 40. So cute, so fit, so much collagen. Love it. wish I could have kept it, can't. I traded it or I get to if I live long enough. If I am blessed to live long enough, I trade the outer stuff for the inner. I cultivate a deep and abiding inner wisdom that no one can take from me because I earned it. Beauty, if you have it, is just given to you. Maybe you buy some of it, but you know what I mean? Mostly it's given to you. And so you get accolades for being young and cute. It doesn't mean anything, really.

It gives you access, but you know deep down it's not going to last. And so in your 40s, hopefully, you start to prepare yourself for a new thing, for a deeper thing, for a more internal thing. And in your 50s, you start to live into it, hopefully. Hopefully you don't resist it. Hopefully you don't hate it. Hopefully, you don't hate yourself because your humanness is asking you to trade one thing for the other. Hopefully, around 50, you start to think, what have I cultivated in terms of my wisdom?

What can no man, no person, take from me? Now that, especially as women and femmes, I become more and more, useless to the patriarchy, and actually just more and more of a threat to the patriarchy, what power do I possess? Now that I'm falling out of the male gaze, how might I revel in my own? What are the other ways in which I might witness myself? I might see myself. I might come to know myself outside of models, of extraction, and huge. humiliation and being objectified. I become the subject in my 50s. And that is what the Chiron return is all about. So I hope you enjoy yours. Again, please go to the Chani app and read

your horoscope for Chiron and Taurus, but also go to the transit section of the app. If you're in your Chiron return, there will be a special little horoscope for your Chiron return in the transit section of the app. Listen, for all my Gen Xers and my elder millennials, this is it. And it's so good. Aging's rough in physical ways, but the wisdom and the deepening and the honoring and the magic that you are able to make in your 50s and beyond is quite literally beyond because it belongs to you. All right, y'all, that is the reading. Go forth, prosper. Take note of where Taurus is in your chart and know that for the next couple of months, it's going to get the first little part of the transit of Chiron and Taurus. And we are going to be introduced into a new way

of approaching our healing. And we're going to start to heal in this new area of our life. And you might notice that you're going to start to want to study what it is to heal in that area of your life. You're going to want to start to learn about new ways of healing your relationship to this area of your life. And by this area of your life, I mean, wherever tourist is in your chart, that is a house. And that house represents an area of your life. So if you're tourist rising, that's the body. Tourist rising people, this is your invitation. to do some kind of new healing to your relationship with your own body and physical self and physical vitality. If you're Gemini rising, Taurus is the part of your chart that is about rest and hiding out

and behind the scenes life and self and work and what you need to do away from the limelight, away from the spotlight. If you're cancer rising, Taurus is your 11th house of friends and groups and communities and your collectives. And it's the healing work that you want to collectively do. And it's the way in which you might also be moving into the role of or a new way of being in the role of someone who administers or creates a space where healing can occur. If you're Leo rising, this is all about your career. It's about being more forthcoming about the ways in which you've suffered, the ways in which you've healed, the wounds that you carry out in the world. And again, it's also about holding a position of mentor and teacher out in

the world. If you're Virgo rising, then Kairan's in your ninth house like the collar had here. And Kairan in your ninth house is a spiritual experience of age, of wisdom, of cultivating the years that it takes to become a mentor, a teacher. And it's also maybe for some of you, especially that are younger, about finding a really important teacher to study with. If you're Libra Rising, this is about the medicine of collaboration. It's about the medicine of doing grief work. It is about healing through partnership in some way, like combining your resources with others.

And it's maybe even for some of you going to be about a time where you notice that you're able to offer a lot of healing to people that are in grief or going through a major life. kind of process. Scorpio Rising, folks, this is about relationships. This is about healing in your relationships, healing through relationships, healing in your relationships, and healing intimacy issues in general. Sorry to say it, I know. Who wants to be that vulnerable, but it's true. Sagittarius Rising, this is about doing something really healing for your body. This is about the healing that your body needs. It's about being of service. It's about being of service.

in ways that feel healing to you and that, again, possibly bring and move healing out into the world. And it is about doing things in the world that are connected to your work or your jobs or your jobs or your labor or your duties and being like, this is healing for me to do or this might actually help somebody also heal. Capricorn, this is about how fun is healing. This is about how play is healing. This is about how your creative work is healing. This is creative projects being healings, but the children and the young people in your life,

healing you, you being in a healing relationship with them. Aquarius, this is about healing at the core, healing the root issues. This is your family, your lineage, the place that you belong to. It's about healing that issue about belonging, which so many of us have. So many of us are just riddled with issues about belonging and this is your time to really focus on yours. Paises, this is about healing through words, healing through writing, healing through tarot cards, healing through astrology, healing through being dedicated to the rituals in your life that make you feel just like that little bit of adjustment. Oh, that's good. I feel a little bit more centered. Focus there and you will thrive with this transit. Aries Rising, this is about your money. This is about your money and your

relationship to it. This is about your resources and your relationship to them. This is about maybe for some of you doing work that is much more directly in the healing arts or doing something that feels like, oh, that was healing for me to do, or this might help other people heal in some way, shape, or form. or it's about moving resources to your healing. You have to invest in your healing. Time, energy, money, I don't care what it is. It's time to invest in your own healing in a very solid, sturdy, reliable way. All right, chill.

That's my little read. Go listen to your full reading in the Chani app this week because I go into all of this in great detail. As always, I'm always there. I'm always here too. I appreciate you. Thank you for being part. part of this community, a community that believes in the dignity of all life on earth, a community

that believes in radically centering the things that we value and putting our money where our mouth is, a community that believes in independent sources of information. The Chani app is not owned by anyone but my wife and I. No one tells us what to do. do what we want to do, not for somebody's bottom dollar and not for somebody's return on investment, but for our own creative energy and dignity, that we build something that we can be proud of so that we can sleep at night and we know we're not doing something evil in the world. And I don't take any ad money for this podcast either. This podcast is just produced by the company. So know that being part of this community is being part of something that is about the spirit of independence and the spirit of wanting to do things in a radically different way than what we are told is the way to do everything.

We're not being left behind. We're finding our own way and we're bringing each other along. Thank you for bringing me along. Always, truly. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Bye for now.
