The Week of August 26th, 2024: Revealing, reviewing, and wrapping up long-standing stories
Episode 193
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 26th, 2024, mixes sweetness with poignancy. On Tuesday, Venus (the planet of pleasure) trines Uranus (the disruptor), motivating us to get experimental with new modes of creativity, invention, and delight. But on Wednesday, Venus goes on to oppose Neptune (the planet of illusion). Though things could get cloudy in our relationships, this moment is steeped in creative inspiration. Then, Mercury (the messenger planet) stations direct, urging us to regroup, gather our thoughts, and move forward with renewed clarity. On Thursday, Venus enters its home sign of Libra, where beauty, art, and love reign supreme. Right after, Venus trines Pluto (the planet of underworld journeys), calling us to bask in the healing properties of joy and connection. On Sunday, Uranus stations retrograde — which could feel a little destabilizing, but it could also reveal fruitful ways to challenge the status quo. Finally, Pluto re-enters Capricorn for the final time (in our lifetimes), prompting us to reflect on how we’ve embodied power and transformation over the last 15 years. Overall, this week is an opportune time to relish in our progress and tie up any loose ends.

The Week of August 19th, 2024: A hectic start to Virgo season
Episode 192
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 19th, 2024, is packed with chaos. On Monday, Venus (the planet of beauty) opposes Saturn (the planet of structure), adding some strain to our pleasure pursuits. Then, the Sun squares Uranus (the planet of disruption), destabilizing outdated structures to make way for new ones. Later, the Full Moon in Aquarius forms a square to Uranus and brings another shock to our collective efforts. But it also nudges us to approach old modes of being from new perspectives. Afterward, Jupiter (the planet of bounty) forms an exact square to Saturn in a moment of era-defining astrology. This marks the peak of the planets’ discord and forces us to choose a path forward. On Thursday, the Sun enters Virgo and moves out of its square to Uranus, which turns down the heat but ups the frenzy already happening in Virgo. Later that day, Venus squares Mars (the planet of action), creating both sparks and tension in matters of beauty and play. Finally, on Friday, Mercury (the planet of communication) retrograde sextiles Mars, ushering in some relief to the week and prompting us to review a problem and more clearly articulate our arguments. Overall, this week promises to be both tumultuous and productive.
