The Week of August 31st, 2026: Boundaries and blessings with Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn

About this episode

Episode 298 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 31st, 2026, brings both obstacles and opportunities. When Jupiter (the planet of good fortune) trines Saturn (the planet of structure), it feels like all our hard work is finally paying off and we’re being blessed with the growth and abundance that we’ve cleared space for. But when Mars (the planet of action) squares Saturn, it’s a whole different story. This face-off is sure to spark serious frustration and stuck-in-the-mud energy. Thankfully, Mercury (the planet of communication) also makes a supportive sextile to Mars, encouraging conversations that break the tension and clarify where we need to move next. Now’s the time to tune in to your intuition and trust your gut. Those instincts will not only help you stay true to yourself, but they’ll come in handy when your plans get off track. This episode covers: • Jupiter’s trine to Saturn on Monday, August 31st • Mars’ square to Saturn on Tuesday, September 1st • Mercury’s sextile to Mars on Tuesday, September 1st This episode
