The Week of August 3rd, 2026: Support, stability, and ego-shedding

Episode 294

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 3rd, 2026, gives us a moment to process and prepare for the upcoming eclipse season. When Chiron (the minor planet of healing) stations retrograde in Taurus, it calls us to slow down and tend to any wounds that surfaced during last week’s Full Moon. Thankfully, we have support from Venus (the planet of love and beauty) as it moves into Libra (its home sign), encouraging balance, fairness, and cute moments of connection. And the Sun’s trine to Saturn (the planet of boundaries and systems) also helps us to find the structure and stability we need to feel secure. Use this time to soften and sift through what you’re ready to shed with next week’s South Node eclipse.

This episode covers:

• The start of Chiron retrograde on Monday, August 3rd

• Venus’ entrance into Libra on Thursday, August 6th 

• The Sun’s trine to Saturn Rx on Thursday, August 6th

• Mercury’s entrance into Leo on Sunday, August 9th
