Rebalance and release with Mars and Mercury

Episode 146 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 2nd, 2023, is asking us to go through a major rebalancing in our lives. On Monday, Mercury (the planet of communication) opposes Neptune (the planet of illusion), creating confusion in our exchanges. On Tuesday, Mercury trines Pluto (the planet of power), clearing up the airwaves and allowing us to have meaningful conversations. On Wednesday, Mars (the planet of action) conjoins the South Node (a place where eclipses occur), urging us to let go of something in order to recalibrate. Also on Wednesday, Mercury moves into Libra, continuing the discussion around justice and resetting the scales. On Sunday, Mars squares Pluto, bringing up a subterranean issue in our relationships. Finally, on Sunday, Venus (the planet of love) enters Virgo, encouraging us to search for beauty in details and other unexpected places.
