Episode 191

In 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 August 12th, 2024, is as chaotic as it is brilliant. On Wednesday, Mars (the planet of action) forms a conjunction with Jupiter (the planet of expansion) for the first time in 13 years. This transit amps up the intensity of our drive and actions — as well as our propensity for living in extremes. Later, Mercury (the messenger planet) backtracks into Leo, spotlighting the good, the bad, and the ugly within our communications. On Thursday, Mars forms a square with Saturn (the planet of structure) and ups our determination. On Sunday, Mercury squares Uranus (the planet of upheaval), challenging the status quo in the name of truth. Then the Sun conjoins Mercury in a cazimi, bringing disruptive clarity and a surprise or two. Finally, Venus (the planet of pleasure) squares Jupiter, increasing our appetite for equity, peace, and unity. Overall, this week asks us to think long-term about our desires and ambitions — and how we want to call them in.
