Summary
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.

| 0:07.0 | Ahead podcast. |
| 0:09.9 | In this podcast, we look at the astrology of the upcoming week and how it will be landing for all of us collectively. |

| 0:26.4 | I'm so happy we are gathering here today, no matter what day you listen to this. I'm really glad you're here. |
| 0:34.4 | I think that this week's astrology is pointing to something very |
| 0:39.4 | significant that is happening this week for us, at least, at the very least, collectively. |
| 0:46.8 | Maybe for you personally, too. And I just want to say that we do not gather here to do anything |
| 0:53.5 | that promotes fear about the time we're about |
| 0:57.3 | to live into. We are gathered here to say, okay, what is the quality of time that this |
| 1:06.1 | astrological moment is presenting us with? And how might I and we best meet this moment? And I just want to say that |
| 1:18.7 | there's so much to this moment. This is one of those weeks where it does seem like a lot goes on. And I want us to just consider the fact that we might not feel |
| 1:33.5 | like we can get everything done this week. We might not even feel like the things that we're |
| 1:39.2 | trying to do are successful. Obviously, I hope that we do feel that they're successful, but if we don't feel |
| 1:47.5 | that by the end of the week or halfway through the week or at any point in the week, I just want |
| 1:52.7 | us to remember it's okay. It's okay. It's not all going to get done this week. It just isn't. |
| 1:59.0 | It's just not the week for that. |
| 2:11.4 | This is a week for us to recognize the chaos either before or as it's coming into the room. |
| 2:21.9 | Like, we're at the circus. There's clowns here. There's all kinds of circus ring leaders here. |
| 2:37.8 | There's stuff here that is just supposed to be what it is, or it just is what it is, which is not necessarily the thing we want it to be if we're trying to get to something that feels ordered and structured and linear and like we can move from point A to point B. I just want us to take that |
| 2:44.5 | expectation off the table. If it happens for you in your personal life, great. Then this astrology |
| 2:49.9 | is not for you. |
