General Forecast

​

As August 2025 begins, the Sun’s conjunction with retrograde Mercury in Leo on August 1st illuminates internal conflicts related to your life’s purpose. This period offers a chance to revisit and possibly act on a creative project you once hesitated to pursue. Success will come from grounding your decisions in reality rather than hopeful thinking.

 

Throughout August, a Minor Grand Trine formed by Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and Pluto in the early degrees of Aquarius, Aries, and Gemini, provides protection through the side exits, which can help us avoid major obstacles. Venus’s square to the Neptune/Saturn conjunction prompts reevaluation of inspiring projects, possibly indicating endings. However, the supportive trine energy provides pathways that are less problematic.  A good eye, trusting your gut instincts and gratitude for guidance can give us the advantage.

 

As Mars transitions into Libra around August 6th, it activates a Grand Air Trine involving Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini. This alignment encourages discussions aimed at group welfare and urges decisions that are fair and balanced. It’s advisable to postpone major changes until Mercury turns direct and Mars moves past the oppositions to Saturn/Neptune (August 11-12). Mars is in detriment in Libra, which favors thoughtful contemplation over impulsive actions, will need clarity in communications and consensus before making agreements or taking action.

 

August 9th sees the Full Moon in Aquarius, a period ripe for evaluation. As emotions run cooler in Aquarius energy, it’s a good time to assess past endeavors, identifying what succeeded or failed since the January 29th New Moon in Aquarius. What is learned now can carry significant value.

 

On August 10th, as Venus conjuncts Jupiter in Cancer, expect a wave of positive resolutions in family and home life. This alignment enhances opportunities for fresh starts and nourishes family relationships, making it a prime time for emotional breakthroughs and nurturing connections.

 

As Mercury stations direct on August 11th, previously muddled communications or travel issues should ease. The Sun’s entrance into Virgo on August 22nd will shift the focus to preparation and improvement, aligning with the harvesting season. The Sun also makes a square to Uranus in Gemini, which can produce problems or obstacles through sudden events. While this will ultimately provide valuable insights it can also require a trade-off between speed and precision for the best results.

 

Towards the end of the month, from August 24th to 28th, as Venus enters Leo, it interacts with the ongoing Minor Grand Trine, opening pathways for new opportunities or risks worth taking. The Venus-Pluto opposition lends a fateful dimension, highlighting the importance of maintaining honesty and fairness in dealings.
