ASTROLOGICAL WEATHER August 9–16, 2025
This week opens in the afterglow of the FULL MOON in AQUARIUS, which lit our skies in every shade of peach, and the call to stand in our truth. The air is feeling charged yet somehow lighter — as if the storm has passed and the earth beneath us has been washed clean. The MOON will now begin to wane again, drawing us inward to consider what ideas, insights, and connections are worth nurturing.
On August 11, MERCURY stations direct in LEO, and the tangled threads of conversation, plans, and creative projects begin to loosen. This is the shift from hesitation into action, from overthinking into expression. Thoughts flow more smoothly, and words carry vitality. It’s a moment to speak from the heart and allow your realness to shine without self-editing.
On August 12, VENUS meets JUPITER in CANCER, bathing us in a tide of emotional abundance. There’s a tenderness here that asks us to trust in the healing power of love, connection, and shared vulnerability. This transit magnifies joy, beauty, and creativity — but also invites gratitude for the simple, sustaining things: a home-cooked meal, a heartfelt conversation, a quiet moment of belonging.
SATURN in ARIES forms a supportive sextile to URANUS in GEMINI. This aspect is the bridge between the old and the new, asking us to blend radical vision with grounded structure. It’s a time to innovate without chaos, to step forward without abandoning the foundations that support us. Think of it as weaving a tapestry — the warp threads are tradition, the weft threads are change. Both are needed for strength and beauty.
On August 16, the MOON enters GEMINI, infusing the weekend with curiosity, lightness, and playful exploration. After a week of emotional and creative depth, this airy moon encourages us to move, connect, and flirt with possibility. It’s a beautiful way to integrate the week’s lessons — by talking them out, trying something new, or simply laughing until our bellies ache.
