The Week of August 21st: Mercury retrograde and the start of Virgo season give us a cosmic review

Episode 140
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 August 21st, 2023, is here to clean up our act. On Wednesday, the Sun enters Virgo, encouraging us to get our systems in order. Later that same day, Mercury (the planet of communication) stations retrograde, ushering in a time of recalibration - and potentially some misfires. On Thursday, Mars (the planet of action) trines Pluto (the planet of transformation), giving us the motivation to dive deep into an issue and return with buried treasure. On Sunday, the Sun makes an opposition to Saturn (the planet of restriction), presenting us with an obstacle, reality check, or course correction. Also on Sunday, Mars moves into Libra, heating up the part of your chart that contains the sign of the scales. But the main signature of this week is Mercury retrograde. So back up your technology. Triple-check everything. And be extra compassionate with yourself and others.

My natal Venus is in Virgo and your explanation of Virgo energy was spot on to how my insides feel 😂 I’m a Leo Sun and Gemini moon so with this Venus placement I get hyper focused on ALL the details of ALL the things ALL the time🤦🏼‍♀️
I’m grateful my Leo in me loves to play or I would be a 24/7 anxiety case 😅

I've got Virgo in the 3rd house of communication.....sounds like double trouble with mercury retrograde.
Look out world!!

[@lissapensandthings]

already feeling it! Looked into some checks I should be receiving and missed a check that was in paperwork in my drawer!!

[@dreikycaprice]

What about when people get offended by being told when those wires aren't connected or other details? Asking for a Jupiter in Virgo in the 11th house friend.

[@L.i.s.o.h]

My ass already being kicked. Thanks for your guidance

[@ClipsBolinha]
