Summary
Episode 162
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 January 22nd, 2024, is pretty calm until the weekend, which is jam-packed with activity. On Tuesday, Venus (the planet of love) enters Capricorn, reflecting a pattern of generosity and innovation in our relationships. On Thursday, the Full Moon in Leo opposes Pluto (the planet of transformation) shining a bright spotlight on collective movements and subterranean power dynamics. On Friday, the Sun squares Jupiter (the planet of abundance), bringing us a burst of energy and confidence. Later that same day, Uranus stations direct, initiating a system update for the status quo. On Saturday, Mercury (the planet of communication), conjoins Mars (the planet of action), allowing us to say what needs to be said, even if it’s a little spicy. Later that same day, Mercury squares the nodes (places where eclipses happen), and then, on Sunday, Mars does the same. Both transits point to a larger story related to the eclipses that will unfold over the next three months, addressing what we are releasing and moving toward. Also on Saturday, Venus sextiles Saturn (the planet of boundaries), strengthening our bonds. On Sunday, Mercury trines Uranus, opening our conversations up to new possibilities. Finally, on Sunday, Venus trines Jupiter (the planet of abundance), infusing joy and sweetness into our connections. After any challenges this week may bring, remember to center some delight, pleasure, and beauty on Sunday. Take care.

| 0:43.2 | Which is pretty calm, or at least, I don't even want to say uneventful, because I'm |
| 0:50.9 | always afraid to say that, until the weekend. |
| 0:53.5 | So on Tuesday Tuesday we have one |
| 0:56.2 | shift happening Venus planet of love and relationship and connection and unity is moving into |
| 1:03.4 | Capricorn and here in Capricorn Venus is going to be able to bestow upon us a great many gifts. Or this is a moment that is |
| 1:15.6 | reflecting a pattern of generosity and innovation in our relationships and in the ways in which |
| 1:22.8 | we create beauty. And there's actually a really lucky day that's happening this week and that day is |
| 1:29.0 | Sunday Venus and Jupiter are going to come into a really helpful alignment and it's |
| 1:36.2 | amidst a lot of other really kind of wild a little chaotic astrology so it's a mixed bag this weekend. It's really active because on Thursday, |
| 1:49.5 | as things get going, we have a full moon in Leo. And look, full moons in fire signs are always |
| 1:57.1 | going to be a little loud and a little extra because that's the nature of fire. |
| 2:03.5 | Fire is here to get our attention. When you see light, you move towards it. Something beautiful and |
| 2:09.5 | sparkly and warm and light draws our attention or gets our attention. And that's what one of the |
| 2:15.2 | things that fire signs do and they're lively and we might even say really |
| 2:20.8 | active and need to be able to move with inspiration. So a full moon's always a moment of peak activity |
| 2:29.1 | and then a full moon and a fire sign is going to be ever more so. And then we've got this one in Leo, which is the |
