Summary
Episode 190
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 5th, 2024, blends fresh starts with thoughtful reflection. Coming off of Sunday’s New Moon in Leo, we enter the week enthusiastic about new beginnings and confident in our capacity to meet the moment. On Wednesday, the Sun sextiles Jupiter (the planet of growth), boosting our ability to follow through on our commitments and take accountability when we fall short. Then retrograde Mercury (the messenger planet) conjoins Venus (the planet of pleasure) in Virgo, providing an opportune time to send our nearest and dearest well-constructed love notes. But it’s also an ideal moment to pause and correct the small details that could make or break our efforts. Overall, this week reminds us to appreciate both our loved ones and ourselves as we strive for continuous improvement.

| 0:24.9 | I am so glad that you are here. |
| 0:28.3 | I'm so grateful that anybody and everybody that begins their week with this podcast |
| 0:34.0 | or listens to it at any phase of the week, any stage of the week, does so |
| 0:39.0 | because I think that the power of astrology is that it can really help us to make the most |
| 0:46.5 | of the quality of time that we're living in. And I really do feel like it is a beautiful kind of frame for our life so that we know |
| 0:57.5 | when to go, when to slow, when to plant some seeds, and when to just let things ripen and |
| 1:06.9 | come to fruition. Speaking of which, we just had a new moon on Sunday, the 4th of August. |
| 1:16.1 | So this podcast is about the week of August 5th, but we're beginning it with this feeling |

| 1:29.6 | of it is really positive. That's one level of what just happened on Sunday. And maybe you're |
| 1:37.3 | listening to this on Sunday. So it's happening. And that beginning, that initiation keeps going and keeps getting better. And something really |
| 1:48.6 | positive or important or some kind of a boost to whatever it is we begin over the weekend |
| 1:54.7 | happens on Wednesday. So from Sunday the 4th of August until Wednesday the 7th of August, there is this building, |
| 2:05.0 | hopefully even enthusiasm, if I can, if I might, if I may, about what it is that is emerging, |
| 2:12.6 | what it is that's beginning and how to have confidence in the actions that we take and how to have confidence in our |
| 2:20.4 | ability to meet the moment. That's another thing I want us to really focus on. I've been talking |
