The Week of July 8th, 2024: Building stability and resolve with the Venus–Pluto opposition

Episode 186 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 8th, 2024, blends wake-up calls with moments of secure abundance. On Monday, Venus (the planet of beauty) sextiles Uranus (the planet of innovation), inviting us to experiment with new modes of connection and pleasure-seeking. Later, Mercury (the messenger planet) sextiles Jupiter (the planet of bounty), inspiring us to communicate sentiments of optimism and expansiveness. On Wednesday, the Sun trines Saturn (the planet of structure), urging us to ground into the ways we lead and create stability in our lives. On Thursday, Venus trines Neptune (the planet of illusion), beckoning us to escape into what is romantic or delightful. Then, Venus enters Leo, where justice, beauty, and matters of the heart will come under a more dramatic spotlight. Finally, on Friday, Venus opposes Pluto (the planet of underworld journeys), plunging us deep into the relationships that require us to be honest with ourselves and clearing space for a necessary transformation. All in all, this week is an opportunity to confront reality and enjoy the ease that finds us. This episode was recorded on 05/27/2024.
