Astrology of the Week Ahead with Chani Nicholas The Week of March 16th, 2026: An uncertain Equinox
Episode 274
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 March 16th, 2026, is a mix of missing details and new beginnings. A dreamy New Moon in Pisces gives our intention-setting and creative genius a boost. The March Equinox and zodiacal new year spring us forward into a fresh start. And Mercury finally stations direct — though it’s still slogging through Pisces and continuing to cloud our communications. This is a time for careful review and much-needed renewal. Say goodbye to the retrograde rut.
