The Week of March 25th, 2024: The lunar eclipse in Libra marks the second chapter of a larger story
Episode 171
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 March 25th, 2024, contains a very important moment. That is because on Monday, there’s a lunar eclipse in Libra, uncovering something that is usually hidden and prompting us to rebalance the scales of justice. And since this eclipse is ruled by Venus (the planet of love) — which is currently exalted in Pisces — it is more supported than the first one in this series that occurred in October 2023. On Thursday, Venus sextiles Uranus (the planet of upheaval), encouraging us to be more experimental in our relationships and pleasure pursuits. Take extra care of yourselves and each other this week.
