ASTROLOGICAL WEATHER | August 23–30, 2025
Before the slippery electric of ECLIPSE SEASON (incoming!) the summer leans to exhale and the sky weaves a story of soft beginnings, radiant expression, and the balance between tending to the small things and celebrating the grand. This week brings a rhythm of renewal, a chance to refine what feels tender within, while also stepping into the glow of creative joy and connection. This I feel strongly you know already. This thing that has been calling your bones, now requires a little faith and shaping. Dare to speak the words you know to be true.
We open with the New Moon in Virgo (August 23), a fertile seed of intention. Virgo teaches us to tend, to clear, to order our lives not from perfectionism but from devotion. This lunation is a soft reset: a moment to align our daily rhythms with deeper purpose. What small, nourishing actions can you root into now that will ripple into the season ahead? This is the week to plant them, and shoots will bloom quicker than you feel.
August 25, Venus moves into Leo, shifting the tone from quiet refinement to bold warmth. Venus here asks us to shine — not in arrogance, but in joy. It invites us to play, to create, to adorn ourselves and our spaces with a little extra radiance. This transit uplifts relationships, art, and beauty, encouraging us to connect from the heart and to celebrate what makes us uniquely luminous.
As the Moon moves through Libra and into Scorpio, the week closes with deeper reflection. Libra steadies us with balance and the reminder that harmony is an active art. Then Scorpio pulls us into emotional honesty, into the places where transformation whispers beneath the surface. By the weekend, there is a call to release, to trust, to let the deeper currents of life work their alchemy.
This week is a bridge: the grounded Virgo new beginning meets Leo’s radiant flourish, and together they guide us into alignment and expression. Begin with care, end with glow.

I'm not pretending that the energy of ECLIPSE SEASON is not already here, that the hum of a highway vibration is beginning to rev, but I am inviting us all to take the moments exactly as they are and begin intentional surrender into the loving hands of the universe.
