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

Episode 248In 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.This episode covers:Venus’ sextile with Mars on Monday, September 15thMercury’s opposition with Saturn on Wednesday, September 17thMercury’s entrance into Libra on Thursday, September 18thMercury’s opposition with Neptune on Thursday, September 18thMercury’s trine with Uranus on Thursday, September 18thMercury’s trine with Pluto on Thursday, September 18thVenus’ entrance into Virgo on Friday, September 19thVenus’ square with Uranus on Saturday, September 20thThe Sun’s opposition with Saturn on Saturday, September 20thThe solar eclipse in Virgo on Sunday, September 21stThis episode was recorded on 7/17/2025.For more, check out your free daily horoscope on the homepage of the CHANI app — now on iOS and Android.The music featured in the podcast was created by Latashá.P.S.
