The Week of September 7th, 2026: Getting retrograde-ready with the Virgo New Moon

Episode 299In 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 7th, 2026, is prepping us for a transformative retrograde season. As Venus (the planet of love) moves through justice-loving Libra and into brooding Scorpio (where it will station retrograde next month), stale relationship dynamics are up for review. And when Uranus (the planet of shock and surprise) begins its retrograde in Gemini, it spotlights the life updates we’ve made that aren’t actually working for us. Luckily, the New Moon in Virgo poses a perfect opportunity to refresh our routines and set ourselves up for success. The habits you form now will keep you grounded when the astro gets turbulent. So get ready and get organized.This episode covers:Venus’ entrance into Scorpio on Thursday, September 10thMercury’s entrance into Libra on Thursday, September 10thThe start of Uranus’ retrograde in Gemini on Thursday, September 10thThe New Moon in Virgo on Thursday, September 10thMercury’s trine to Pluto on Saturday, September 12thMercury’s opposition to Neptune on Saturday, September 12thMercury’s trine to Uranus on Sunday, September 13thThis episode was recorded on 08/05/2026.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.
