The Week of August 5th, 2024: Love letters from the Mercury–Venus conjunction

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. This episode was recorded on 06/10/2024.
