Astrology of the Week Ahead with Chani Nicholas The Week of August 21st: Mercury retrograde and the start of Virgo season give us a cosmic review
Episode 140
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 August 21st, 2023, is here to clean up our act. On Wednesday, the Sun enters Virgo, encouraging us to get our systems in order. Later that same day, Mercury (the planet of communication) stations retrograde, ushering in a time of recalibration — and potentially some misfires. On Thursday, Mars (the planet of action) trines Pluto (the planet of transformation), giving us the motivation to dive deep into an issue and return with buried treasure. On Sunday, the Sun makes an opposition to Saturn (the planet of restriction), presenting us with an obstacle, reality check, or course correction. Also on Sunday, Mars moves into Libra, heating up the part of your chart that contains the sign of the scales. But the main signature of this week is Mercury retrograde. So back up your technology. Triple-check everything. And be extra compassionate with yourself and others.
