Every Sunday night I tune into the week ahead with Chani. First with my personal rising reading then the overall week. It helps me prepare, ponder and get curious about how to take the energy and flow with it. Maybe even keep myself in check. 🫣

I was looking for a weekly forecast astrology podcast and came across this one and it’s immediately apparent that she is using the sanctity of astrology to weave in woke ideology and that is very disappointing.

I have been listening to Chani’s podcast for a while now, and feel moved to write a review. As a Libra rising, I decided today to go back and re-listen to the quarterly reading for January through March of this year just to reflect and see how the astrology worked out for me. As the title states, I was completely blown away by how accurate the astro-weather for me was: what happened in my life, the lessons I was meant to learn, the houses in which these lessons occurred… absolutely mind-blown! I usually listen to the quarterly readings at the beginning of each quarter but I suggest- for anyone interested in going back and reflecting on what your life looked like during those months- DO IT!! I was honestly awestruck with how much it hit home for me. Thank you, Chani and team, for all the hard work you put into making these weekly and quarterly readings for us, and all the love you put into the Chani app!

Long time listener! As listening to the episode for the Scorpio full moon on May 12, 2025, I found that I feel most comfortable when there’s Scorpio moons. Could this be because I have a natal Scorpio moon? Then my wish for the CHANI app is if there was a community option for chatting with other people. Scorpio moon club, Lioness / Leo risers, etc. Thank you!

Chani is such a beautiful and much needed voice in this space. I also want to mention for all of the fans of the podcast that she has created a beautiful breakthrough course that’s available in her app for free. I’m such a fan of her meditations as well. Thank you to Chani and her team!

Terms like White supremacy, racist etc are used so often its lost its meaning. I came here for astrology, not personal political views. I can find political content elsewhere.

I’ve been a longtime subscriber (and a fellow Trump-hating liberal) but Chani is not who I turn to for world news and geopolitics. I understand it plays a role in the current astrology, but I think Chani has lost her grounding - and a bit of the thread that made this podcast so poignant previously. Not so much because of her heavy lean into politics, but because the energy, the vibe of the podcast and the tangents she launches into feel so low vibe. My body doesn’t feel good when I listen to this anymore. Sadly, I had to unfollow.

I had the app premium edition and I followed her for years but lately I cannot listen to how white supremacy is woven into so many topics. I understand astrology and politics can be a discussed together but before she would talk about things like watch what you say today or watch your finances this month or if you are traveling double check your ticket. I have now discovered some new people to listen to for my astrology but I really miss the old Chani. Her app as far as information for your transits and meditation is a good product and unique but I can't justify paying premium anymore.

I just started listening to Chani’s podcast three weeks ago, and I can already tell you that I love it. I love how she ties in real world events with her astrology, and how she uses her voice to bring awareness to it all yet also offers a comfort within it. I also adore how she goes into depth with ancient astrology and the myths behind it. All in all, a perfect podcast in my eyes — I’m now dedicated to become a weekly listener.

i admire how chani uses her platform to inspire and uplift. her goal has always been to offer astrology as a tool for self empowerment. her readings do not exist in a vacuum and I am grateful for strong voices like hers in this moment of intense oppression.

I used to subscribe and purchase this app and podcast series. Not only has her interpretations become overly political she is contributing to indigenous erasure now. Astrology is not a fact, they are interpretations yet her political opinions are veiled through out. As an indigenous woman it’s gross to equate clean eating with white supremacy. Indigenous people have promoted eating from the earth. Now “eating clean” which is another way of saying not eating processed junk is white supremacy ! Ridiculous . Eating processed foods is ! Before govt subsidies to the reservation filled cupboards with processed foods, indigenous peoples have cultivated , grown and hunted from what Mother Earth provided. Stop with your incessant need to make everything about white people.

Did you really just say clean eating is related to whiten supremacy? Go back to the way you were before the election and leave the politics out. It’s so negative and unnecessary. Fyi, written by a fellow democrat.

Did Chani really just say eating clean is “white supremacy coded”?!? 😂 If that’s truly the way you see the world, I’d argue it’s dangerous to be offering life advice to large swaths of people from a place of such mental instability.

I love the new mini astrology lessons at the end of the episodes!!! The explanations are inspired and Chani’s passion is infectious! I also admire Chani’s way of keeping it real by providing political/societal context. Her point of view is grounding and therapeutic. Keep it up, Chani!!!

I enjoy Chani’s insight & am liking the new spin on educational content with questions. I like the little bits of info on the various parts of chart & things to consider. I don’t find the content “political”. She’s speaking on universal themes that are relative for many communities.

I used to love this podcast but it has gotten wildly political. This is like the 4th astrology podcast I used to listen to religiously that has turned political that I can no longer get behind. We are just here for astrology guys! Please take it back to how it was or change this to a political podcast instead.

In today’s ep you mentioned Beyoncé is a Scorpio moon, you then preceded to give me popcorn but no butter (I say that in insatiable way not an entitled way) What other placements of her chart are there? Would LOVE a deep dive (I have the paid version of the app so…..maybe an “exclusive” for members😜)? Such a Chani fan! The app, Down to Astro, You Were Born for This, I love it all 🫶🏽thank you so much!

This podcast is a calming and bright star in these scary times. I look forward to it each week. Thanks for keeping us posted on our journeys!

I have listened weekly for the last year and lately this podcast is getting to negative. The constant political ragging is not why we are here! I have to skip ahead so far because it’s very repetitive.

Way too much political opinion!

I used to absolutely love this podcast. Chani’s astrology is incredibly insightful, engaging, and always on point. Her ability to interpret the stars in a way that feels both personal and universal is truly unmatched. However, since the election, the podcast has been completely taken over by politics, and I’m so disappointed. I kept giving it a chance, hoping it would return to the deep, meaningful astrological insights that originally drew me in, but it’s now overwhelmingly and constantly political and negative. I miss the old Chani—the one who made astrology feel magical, expansive, personal, and accessible. I hate to leave a negative review because I love her so much and she is so talented, but I just don’t think I can continue listening. I truly hope the podcast returns to its roots.

Not interested in the ongoing political commentary. Unsubscribed

Chani is on point! I began following after hearing her speak about two months ago on another podcast. She has been encouraging, empathetic, and profoundly accurate from a global perspective. Thank you!

The loud minority keeps whining. The country voted plz stop fear mongering and separating the country. Just give us the astrology without ur loosing political views . Thanks

In the first minute, complaining about the first non political president who actually is the only president who isn’t doing this for himself, but for the people. Unfollow. Starseed astrology is accurate and reads and predicts everything properly. I’ll stick with them and their alignment with the Devine.

Please leave your personal political comments out. It is not necessary. It is a turn off. It causes immediate tense up in one’s body and promotes anger. Not promoting positivity energy. Please refrain personal comments or reactions. I’m very turned off on your presentation. Emphasizing words like “power” or “DARK LORD” you can tell you are directing this towards politics and how I can use this in MY LIFE. I won’t be listening again. I tune in to help use information for peace and strength in my life, not some government spin or someone’s personal views and a negative take on astrology.

I am especially thankful, 👀 creeping my way through 2025 👀, while trying not to lose my soul, that I have the Chani app & Chani’s podcast as a tool in my tool belt!! Chani’s voice in my ear is a balm to the soul. Chani & Team have been a constant, supportive & encouraging word in my ear for quite some time now. I am so thankful at the way this team innovates, pivots, & generously shares their wisdom with us. 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 and I am happy that it goes towards putting more goodness out into the world! Thanks Chani and Team.

Will not be listening to this podcast anymore at all because it is not about astrology anymore. CHANI is way too political and starts every podcast by saying this was recorded in the past when she didn’t know the winner of the election..her podcasts are extremely negative and she can’t even stick to the topic of the podcast. I’ve seen a lot of people feel the same and it’s terrible she feels the need to spread negativity. Her emails are even worse - the one sent out on 1/22/2025 is a joke. If I could give it zero stars I definitely would.

Ignorant Individual. and must be super privileged…You must have some twisted information. Sad…and if you actually listened to unfiltered unbiased news stations like C-SPAN you’d actually see what’s going on in our country. Not every area as rainbows and butterflies you must be way away from the times of crisis. We need help. There are a lot of crises. If Trump hasn’t won we would have gone into a major depression again if the other president elect had won. Not to mention…We have people being dropped off from other countries at our border from jails/psych wards. How can you call this a a depressing time. We are finally going to get the help that we need. I highly recommend that you educate yourself. If you look at it from a non-emotional standpoint, we are going to see some changes that are going to help all of our lives. Every president has flaws and a lot of the information is misinformation and if you actually lived on planet Earth and saw what was going on down by our borders, etc. you would see the problem. It’s people like you that spread bad information. It’s embarrassing how privileged you sound and out if touch with the state of our country. I think this is gonna be the best year ever. We’re finally gonna get help so maybe turn your negative into a positive. I started tuning out when you started becoming ignorant and uneducated on air.

Update: “the so-called-President of the United States” Chani…he IS the President. He won and the event doesn’t have to be “devastating”. This is an opportunity. Get over him and get to work on what you want, people. Update: Chani, has it ever occurred to you that maybe the astrology is correct and maybe you are actually on the wrong side of things? These little intros you have added the US president fascist and acting like a fear mongering alarmist indicate to me that perhaps you might be the one who is misguided and astrology is spot on. don’t be so arrogant and assume that you have all the answers and that your position is the correct one. The majority doesn’t seem to agree . I’ll start with the positive, Chani has a lot of talent and potential to deliver a really inclusive great product. Unfortunately, she is staunchly on one side of the political equation and doesn’t see the full picture. This affects her ability to read properly and to deliver horoscopes in a way that are truly applicable to all. If you have an understanding of astrology and understand talk of aspects, I would listen, and take what she says with a grain of salt understanding that she has a lot of political baggage. Rabbel rousing, civil disobedience, and revolution just for the sake of those things only leads to chaos and more darkness. Sometimes privileged people, who get a rush from all the excitement, forget about that. And they forget that the ones who have to clean up later are usually the poorest and most disenfranchised.

I wanted to love this Podcast, but I can’t get past the persistent complaining and despair about Donald Trump. I don’t even like him, but that type of talk isn’t constructive; it’s harmful, to everyone. It’s a shame, because Chani’s energy is special, but she is seriously parring down her palatable audience with the political talk.

I truly do love all this podcast has to offer & Chani is a wealth of astrological knowledge & understanding. I just really wish some of the political comments weren’t made, it can create bias in how to interpret the information. I’m not upset about Chani’s political views, just wish the podcast stayed in the astrology lane. After all that’s what made me push play to begin with! Unfortunately, I can’t tune in anymore. Unfollow.

I really enjoy this podcast, or rather, enjoyed. I’m sorry to say I can’t get past the disclaimer at the beginning, explaining how the show was taped last year before the election. It seems disingenuous to try to provide an insight into the astrology of the week ahead when it’s so far removed from the week ahead. I know it’s all about the influence of the planets on current events or circumstances, not vise versa, but, yeah. Also, the doomsday predictions of rampant impending fascism are just too political for an astrological reading, though I agree that the incoming ‘administration’ is self-identified as such. What do the stars say about the possible outcomes for 2025 and how can we constructively - individually and collectively - chart a new course? I don’t hear that context, because it’s 3-4 (?) months old. But I’ll check back, because I do really appreciate Chani’s deep understanding of astrology, and her winsome delivery.

It’s the week of 1/6/25 and I’m DONE hearing “this was recorded LONG ago”. Your absence, neglect, and ignorance to address the present moment as it has unfolded since November is appalling! We have experienced a lifetime of news, events. Your lifetime of work has gone from gold standard , top notch to the mediocre. I work hard to earn the money to pay for your app. I understand you wanted and needed some time off. Don’t forget there are some of us who ALSO work really hard, don’t get much time off, and look to your reading for guidance. I feel like you have taken my money since November and delivered a half relevant/ super crappy product. If you want to be the best astrologer then SHOW UP in present time. Show up for us.

If you are looking for a shinning light in the middle of trouble times, come to this podcast. If you are looking for hype and an astro bestie for a weekly fireside chat about the astrology ahead, come to this podcast. If you are trying to identify or access your personal power, come to this podcast. Maybe stay awhile. This is a safe place where we are all welcome and where we all remember we have the collective power to make things better. Plus it’s FUN Y’ALL! And INFORMATIVE! And put together by a company that actually lives and stays true to it’s values. It’s literally THE BEST. Six star review. P.S. Do your future self a favor and download the CHANI app. I can’t imagine a world where you’ll be disappointed.

Last year, my reading contained many dates with characteristics of those dates. That was great. This year, my reading does not contain important dates and is just this woman jabbering on about how much she doesn’t like our coming president. I paid for a service I wasn’t provided. It’s horrible.

I'm terribly disappointed. Disappointed how she recorded stuff in advance and how the YouTubers and other astrologers at least record it THE week of. I'm also tired of the political stuff right before the episode begins. I click every week just to see if it's going to change and it's not. Neither station was good but we gotta move on. I'll come back when this thing changes otherwise I'm gone.

Chani is a really gifted astrologer. Concise, empathetic and passionate she communicates the data on a lot of levels. Also, her app in extensive. So. Much. Content.

Longtime listener and App subscriber no more. Chani calling Trump a fascist was the final straw for me. When did this podcast turn into extreme liberal woke politics? Yuk, no thanks.

Chani might bring the political overtones down a few notches. Have had just about enough of it.

I love chanis work. I have her datebook and yearbook but I can’t listen to podcasts or forecasts anymore. Our thoughts and beliefs CREATE this world and we should be responsible for what we project into this world. How can we expect the best when speak doom and gloom? Here’s an idea: give peace a chance instead of assuming the worst. The cosmic matrix is a great podcast for anyone looking for something more balanced and neutral.

Your disclaimer is so off putting at the beginning of the episode. Should I not trust your astrology predictions because Donald Trump is the president? 🙄

Don’t want to listen to this woman’s superior woke views that isolate and judge people. Her predictions were actually wrong and not insightful. I listened to other podcasts that are actually scientific and intelligent and based on what this is rooted in. A guidance based on energy and qualities of the planets. Not opinions onwhat she thinks a fascist leader is because she’s been brainwashed by CNN.

CHANI, I love ya. You and your team are amazing. I love your app. I cannot wait to listen to your podcast and my reading. Perfect length each week, ways of making sense of the current astrology, and I love how you tie past events (big transits last August and how we are wrapping up some of those things which came up now with another transit-that kind of thing). I respect your political passion. And I agree with much of it. BUT, I agree it’s starting to infiltrate readings too much. When I and others are listening, we want to hear how the astrology will land for us personally, probably more than collectively. I know to isolate the personal impact of the astrology is not true to the science and interpretation of it all. However, would you please consider finding ways to speak less of politics, and more about collective themes beyond specific politics? Like you used to? Again, I’m still giving you 5 stars cuz I adore your work and ways of explaining it all. Keep it up! Suggestion: bought your yearly planner-very fun! Would be helpful to actually have calendar pages to write in those transitions and note a few bulleted points you make on an included calendar section. Make sense? Or even a companion smaller planner?? Where we can reference the big book and notate what you review into the smaller planner and use those fun stickers? Or perforated tear out full size monthly calendar pages which we can jot on using info from each sign’s section, and hang on the wall each month.

Infected her astrology with political pov assuming all her listeners see the world the same way I respect her judgement less because of this Calling half of Americans supporters of fascism not realizing what a mess we’re in and people want change I want a safe space away from ideology when I listen to forecasts Not interested in demonization and divisiveness Ick chani

I can’t say I have vastly different political views than Chani, but I am sad to be unfollowing the show. I think there’s a time and place to stay rooted in the polarity of current events but it’s not in my astrological forecasts. If this was a news update, I’m all for it. But it’s not and it’s not up to us to decide how things will play out in the physical world. I make no assumptions that my beliefs are “truth”, they’re just mine.

I used to feel so connected to you and this podcast. It was such an escape to become fully immersed in astrology. However, i am not sure why politics should at all influence astrology? I am really sad to say that I no longer feel connected and you have lost a listener. :(

Way better astrology podcasts out there. She has absolutely no idea how to refrain from her one sided political comments, despite the dozens of reviews asking her to stay neutral. Stay in your lane. Keep politics out of astrology. And no, they are not one and the same as you have probably argued before.

Okay y’all, I just listened to my personalized week ahead reading on the Chani App and it has really confirmed a very tough decision that I am making at work. It was truly jaw dropping to hear the analysis and freeing to know that I am on the right path. This podcast and app have been so helpful in navigating the toughest year in my life and I remain strengthened and hopeful because of it. Thank you!
