In each episode of Down to Astro, professional astrologers Chani Nicholas, Thea Anderson, and Eliza Robertson look to the sky to make sense of what’s happening here on Earth. This in-depth monthly podcast brings listeners into the astrological group chat to talk through how recent astrology has been landing IRL, how upcoming transits could manifest in the collective, and how we can individually stay grounded amid the flurry.

This show has been my lifeline the last few months, as we have been navigating uncertainty both globally and politically. Thank you so much for doing these episodes. I look forward to them each time they drop. It’s a form of self-care to pour coffee, put in my AirPods, and listen to you women talk about the political and social climate and how the astrology ties it all together. Thank you so, so much. 🙏🏼💕
I’m so thankful for all the work Chani and team put into these episodes. They’re informative, digestible, and just absolutely fascinating. What a helpful tool to navigate and make sense of this time in the world. 💛
I am thankful thankful for the Chani app & Chani’s podcast(s) as a very important tool in my tool belt of life!! Chani & Team have been a constant, supportive & encouraging word in my ear for quite some time now. I love hearing the girls’ perspectives on past & current events/transits. I am so thankful at the way this team continues to innovate, pivot, & generously share their wisdom with us. Love this podcast. I appreciate the way they look at the future & past without rose-colored glasses on while still encouraging us to move ahead with integrity. Not 👏🏼to 👏🏼mention 👏🏼they 👏🏼PAY 👏🏼their 👏🏼people 👏🏼 while supporting female & survivor entrepreneurship. The $100 yearly that I spend on the Chani app is some of the best money that I spend (ON MYSELF) annually. I’m happy it goes towards putting more goodness like this out into the world! Thanks Chani and Team.
I was deeply moved by the insightful discussion on interpreting modern times and challenges through the perspective of astrology. I appreciated the empowering reminders to take control of our perceptions and embrace the discomfort that comes with necessary change.
Thea & Eliza deliver their commentary with little authority, often sounding unsure of themselves, and struggling to name challenging themes directly, but rather, tip toe around topical issues as if to spare the audience the discomfort of acknowledging the increasingly volatile times we are wafting through, whereas Chani will often step in to say what needs to be said. As other reviews have noted, it sounds like we’re in conversation with a teacher and her trainees - which may indeed benefit some listeners who are newer to the realm of combining political social justice thought + astro-mediumship-forecasting, as the conversation does feel friendly & approachable, but for those of us who have been down this block for a minute, there are no breakthrough insights to be found. Granted, Chani’s overall style of astro-forecasting across all her platforms does tend to skew a bit sweeter & rose-tinted compared to some of her “tell it like it is” contemporaries, maybe offering advice in less “viva la revolution, burn it all down” terms, and more like, “here’s some positive incremental changes you can make or privileges you may want to wake up to,” but thankfully she still acknowledges the realities of the world we are participating in (capitalism, colonialism, fascism, etc), and the worldwide reckoning all are headed towards.
I love your insights Chani and I think you’re an incredible Astrologer, but when it comes to speaking of politics and astrology its uncomfortable. I feel that one of the greatest things an Astrologer can do when sharing information, is have some objectivity when delivering information. It is clear that you cannot hide your disdain for a certain political figure, but it comes off as childish and biased when you’re delivering the Astrology around the canidates. I believe when we’re speaking about anothers persons personal Astrology, we need to be respectful. One’s birth chart is sacred and deserves respect, and kindness. I believe as an astrologer, it is a duty to give people the facts, without tainting information with our own personal opinions and political viewpoints. This echoes so much of the misinformation and agendas that are being pushed throughout the media right now. I was probably one of the handful of people that had the opportunity to listen to the podcast that you released on July 15 , two days prior when President Trump had his assassination attempt. I know that this recording was taken down and I can understand why because, the first five minutes of it were absolutely distasteful and disrespectful. If you’re so proud of your opinions then why did you take it down?
