Nunc is "now". Animis is the dative or ablative plural of the noun animus or anima, meaning "soul" or "spirit". It may mean "to souls/spirits", "for souls/spirits", "by souls/spirits", etc., depending on context.

In any event this isn't a complete phrase. Probably the most famous phrase that begins with these words is from Virgil's Aeneid: Nunc animis opus, Aenea, nunc pectore firmo: "Now there is need of spirits, Aeneas, now of a steadfast heart". In this case "spirits" is a poetic locution for "courage".
