Summary
Episode 139
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 14th, 2023, is kind of a wild card. On Tuesday, the Sun squares Uranus (the planet of rebellion), highlighting disruptive, unprecedented events. On Wednesday, there’s a New Moon in Leo, which encourages us to use our most creative ideas in any issue we’re up against. The New Moon is also occurring near Black Moon Lilith (a point in space related to the Goddess who refused subjugation), urging us to speak out against injustice. So be bold. Be loud. And bring your fullest self-expression wherever you go.

| 0:47.8 | This is a wild week, y'all. This week, I think kind of all bets bets are off we've got a new moon on deck and that's like |
| 0:58.8 | the biggest thing that happens this week it's pretty much the thing that happens this week and the |
| 1:05.2 | thing about this new moon is it is sitting in a situation that seems to be reflecting a moment in time for us to do life |
| 1:17.4 | radically differently. It seems to be reflecting a moment of a little chaos, definite, again, |
| 1:27.2 | disruption, and a encouragement or that there's something |
| 1:32.7 | that happens that encourages us to be wildly experimental with what it is we're doing, |
| 1:40.5 | what we have to get done. |
| 1:42.3 | And there's a lot to be said for the kind of deconstruction |
| 1:47.5 | that this new moon could also be reflecting back to us. Like, okay, it's not working. So what do we |
| 1:54.9 | need to tear down and deconstruct in order to rebuild? And I think that the really important piece here is not to get lost in the |
| 2:05.0 | deconstruction because we can do that really easily. I think humans are really good at tearing |
| 2:12.9 | things down. And I think that we've become really good at talking about all the things that are wrong. And it's |
| 2:19.7 | much needed. It's not bad to do that. Obviously, it's necessary in order to create something that is |
| 2:29.2 | an eloquent and intelligent and correct response. We need to know what was not working in the first place. |
| 2:39.0 | And the energy of this new moon or the way in which a new moon in Leo, which this one is, works, is that it's about creative self-expression. |
| 2:48.4 | So it really is a moment or Leo really is a sign that helps to |
