In episode 312 we look at the astrological forecast for August of 2021, with astrologers Austin Coppock, Chris Brennan, and special guest co-host Chani Nicholas.
August begins with Jupiter having just retrograded back into Aquarius, which it had left when it moved into Pisces on May 13, returning for some unfinished business from earlier in the year.
August also features Uranus stationing direct in Taurus, and the second of two Full Moon’s in Aquarius, with the first having occurred in late July.
Chani is filling in this month for Kelly, and she is the author of the book You Were Born for This: Astrology for Radical Self-Acceptance, as well as the creator of the CHANI astrology app for iPhone.
