The Week of July 1st, 2024: Envisioning (and enacting) a new future with the New Moon in Cancer

Episode 185

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 July 1st, 2024, encourages us to dream big and dive deep. On Tuesday, Neptune (the planet of dreams) stations retrograde in Pisces, pulling focus toward our visions for the future. Later, Mercury (the planet of communication) trines Neptune, urging us to discuss our fantasies regardless of how “out there” they may seem, and then enters Leo, upping the drama of our anecdotes and appreciations. Also on Tuesday, the Sun squares the lunar nodes, marking the halfway point between eclipse seasons and compelling us to take stock of what is and isn’t working as we strive toward our goals. Then Venus (the planet of beauty) trines Saturn, helping us to solidify the details of our upcoming pleasure pursuits. On Wednesday, Mercury opposes Pluto (the planet of underworld journeys), submerging us in conversations and investigations regarding the realities of everyday life. On Friday, Mars (the planet of action) sextiles Saturn, infusing our protective instincts with determination and stamina. Lastly the New Moon in Cancer occurs and ushers in a potent opportunity to nurture new hobbies, relationships, or personal projects and nourish both ourselves and the world at large. Overall, this week calls us to reflect on all the beauty we’ve created and all the joy we have yet to experience.
