Summary
Episode 189
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 July 29th, 2024, is as turbulent as it is invigorating. On Friday, Venus (the planet of justice) squares Uranus (the planet of innovation), calling us to swap people-pleasing for authenticity and harmony for collective progress. On Sunday, the New Moon in Leo occurs and sextiles Jupiter (the planet of expansion), emboldening us to lead with confidence and show up as our most powerful selves. Then Venus enters Virgo, where it provides helpful — though not always solicited — critiques on aesthetic matters. And finally, Mercury (the planet of communication) stations retrograde, nudging us to fix whatever systems need mending. Overall, this week is an opportune time to recommit to our radiance and strive valiantly toward improvement.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's your Astro Bestie Chani Nicholas, and this is the Astrology of the Week |
| 0:05.6 | Ahead podcast. In this podcast, we look at the astrology of the upcoming week and how it will be |
| 0:12.7 | landing for all of us collectively. For a more personalized reading that dives into the ways that |
| 0:18.7 | this week's astrology will play out for you, download the |
| 0:22.4 | Chaniap. Hey, y'all, I'm so glad you're joining me. I am actually, like, oddly excited about |
| 0:31.9 | this week's astrology. Maybe that is the worst thing I could say about a week where Mercury stations retrograde, but we're |
| 0:41.1 | going to try it. We're going to go with it. It's a new moon week. So on one hand, we have some very |
| 0:47.7 | exciting new energy coming into the week. And it's happening at the end of the week. And at the same time, |
| 0:57.7 | like on the same day, Mercury is stationing retrograde. So we know two things for sure. |
| 1:04.7 | There's something new that we are beginning and it is very much about our ability to show up as the leaders that we want to be |
| 1:15.8 | that we want to see in the world. It is about activating our own leadership energy. And we're going to do |
| 1:26.1 | a very, very, very important and thorough review of something else in our |
| 1:33.2 | life. We are going to see where things are broken. We are going to get the chance to fix what |
| 1:39.9 | never was going to work. And we are going to be, bear with me, grateful for the opportunity |
| 1:48.9 | to do so. Because the quicker we know that something isn't working, the quicker we fix something, |
| 1:55.2 | the faster we have a better functioning system as a whole. And that's what Mercury retrogrades are really about. |
| 2:03.4 | Also, I will say that on Sunday, as Mercury is stationing retrograde, Venus is also going to |
| 2:11.4 | enter Virgo where Mercury is stationing retrograde. And they're going to end up having a little |
| 2:16.7 | moment. And so I do think that |
| 2:18.5 | in one corner of our life, the review that we're about to do in this section of time from August |
| 2:25.5 | 4th to August 14th, I'm not talking about after August 14th because who knows. But from August 4th to |
| 2:33.0 | August 14th, you can mark your calendars. I do think that there's |
