Summary
Episode 148
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 October 16th, 2023, is full of gleaming insights and fascinating exchanges. On Wednesday, the Sun and Mercury both conjoin the South Node, urging us to wash away the sediment of the past in order to rebalance the scales. On Thursday, the Sun conjoins Mercury (the planet of intellect) in a cazimi, bringing clarity in our communications. On Friday, Mercury squares Pluto (the planet of transformation), giving us access to an even deeper level of information. On Saturday, the Sun squares Pluto, illuminating subterranean material. Also on Saturday, Venus (the planet of love) trines Jupiter (the planet of abundance), offering us ease and grounded pleasure. On Sunday, Mercury trines Saturn (the planet of maturity), settling and stabilizing our conversations. This week exposes us to necessary discomfort, as well as useful nuggets of wisdom. So sharpen your pencils and keep your notes app open to receive them.
