Astrology Forecast August 11 – 17, 2025
The celestial tide starts to shift today as Mercury stations direct in the early hours of the morning*, closing out a challenging retrograde that may have scrambled plans and frazzled communications.
While Mercury’s pivot brings a collective sigh of relief it is important to still tread with care for the next couple of weeks as the trickster planet finds its rhythm again during the shadow period. Electronic glitches, unexpected delays, and crossed wires may still pop up here and there, but the worst is now behind us.
The Moon lingers in Pisces through the day, wrapping us in a dreamlike haze that makes today feel more like a continuation of the weekend.
However, this morning’s semisquare between the Pisces Moon and Pluto in Aquarius may stir some emotional undercurrents or dredge up forgotten fears. Take time to breathe and release what no longer serves you.
By mid-morning, the Moon’s conjunction with the North Node in Pisces invites a karmic moment. You may find yourself revisiting a dream or idea that had previously drifted away. Pay attention to intuitive nudges and symbolic messages. This is a time of soul remembrance, when destiny calls softly through the mists.
As the Moon forms a quintile to Uranus in Gemini and a quincunx to the Sun in Leo by midday, expect sudden insights or minor disruptions that push you to adapt. Creativity will flow more easily if you’re open to the unexpected. However, the sesquiquadrate to Mercury may bring tension between what you feel and what you’re trying to express. Let silence be your sanctuary if words fail.
Astrology Forecast August 4 – 10, 2025
The Moon is moving through Sagittarius today, filling our skies with a sense of optimism, curiosity, and a joyful eagerness to explore new philosophical or spiritual horizons. There’s a fiery pulse in the air, and a call to stretch our vision and embrace possibility.
This morning, the Sun in Leo is connecting with Jupiter in Cancer, and we feel like we’re being cheered on by some cosmic cheerleaders. This energy is pushing us to follow joy, creativity, and heartfelt expression.
This semi-sextile is like a warm breeze, lifting our spirits and infusing us with the courage to chase those ideas that might have seemed just out of reach. Use this uplifting energy to think about the big picture. Now is a wonderful time for making new dreams, sharing stories, and helping others see the light within themselves.
However, by midday, the Sagittarius Moon stirs deeper currents as it brushes up against Pluto in Aquarius and squares the lunar nodes in Pisces. Our emotions can sometimes carry us away, affecting the people around us even when they don’t seem to be directly linked. This can be a beautiful reminder to reflect on what we truly want for ourselves and our journey.
Are your beliefs maybe holding you back from your dreams? Stay grounded this afternoon. Go ahead and trust your intuition as you work through any feelings of tension you might have. Now is a moment to acknowledge the tug between expansion and emotional growth.
Take some time also today to set your intentions. There are so many simple and meaningful ways to get yourself ready for the week ahead. You could light a candle, journal about your dreams, or speak affirmations aloud.
Astrology Forecast July 21 – 27, 2025
The week begins on a vibrant note with the Moon dancing through airy Gemini today, amplifying our curiosity, sociability, and mental agility. This is a perfect day for brainstorming, conversations, writing, and seeking clarity through information. If you’ve been sitting on a problem or a creative block, this lunar moment offers breakthrough energy.
In the morning, the Moon forms a harmonious sextile with Mercury in Leo, sparking clever thoughts, charming communication, and a touch of flair. This alignment brings brilliance to ideas and helps us express them with warmth and confidence. Mercury in Leo encourages bold speech and storytelling. Don’t be afraid to share your voice or pitch a big idea.
By mid-afternoon, the Moon conjuncts Venus in Gemini, enhancing charm and grace in our social interactions. This is a highly favorable window for connecting with friends, networking, or even enjoying a little flirtation. Artistic endeavors, design work, and writing flow beautifully under this aspect. Conversations may turn light, witty, and pleasurable, and we may find ourselves enchanted by beauty in the smallest details.
However, as the day unfolds, the emotional tone subtly shifts. The Moon squares the North Node in Pisces, followed shortly by a square to Mars in Virgo. These aspects may create a bit of tension or emotional restlessness.
Are your actions aligned with your spiritual path? Is your mental busyness pulling you away from your deeper purpose? Pay attention to any irritation or impulsivitt. These are all clues that it’s time to reassess your direction. Use grounding techniques if you feel scattered.
Astrology Forecast August 5 -11, 2024
Two astrologically significant events are occurring today as Mercury goes retrograde and the Moon enters Virgo. Their combined effects will be powerful, especially since Monday is traditionally ruled by the Moon.
Because of this dual cosmic influence, we can expect heightened scrutiny, reflection, and possible frustration with communication and organization during the first two days of the week.
The Virgo Moon’s emphasis on detail and order may clash with the communication disruptions of Mercury retrograde, possibly leading to frustration over minor mistakes or inefficiencies.
There could also be a tendency to overanalyze emotions and personal interactions, given Virgo’s critical nature and Mercury retrograde’s propensity for misunderstanding.
We may also experience increased introspection and emotional analysis, possibly leading to insights or resolutions from the past, albeit with some emotional turbulence.
Tomorrow’s Virgo Moon square Mars in Gemini is likely to further fan the flames of misunderstanding and emotional upheaval, with impatience, agitation, and people being more argumentative than usual. Today and tomorrow is a time to be patient and emotionally centered, double-checking details and staying grounded as we navigate through potential challenges for the rest of the week.
Astrology Forecast July 22 – 28, 2024
The Sun entering Leo this morning shifts the energies for the next four weeks toward confidence, creativity, and a desire for self-expression. Combined with the influence of an Aquarius Moon, today will be a great time to pursue creative endeavors, connect with others on a deeper emotional level, and embrace both leadership and nurturing roles.
An Aquarius Moon on a Monday combines the emotional and nurturing energy of the Moon with the innovative, rational, and community-oriented qualities of Aquarius. This results in a balanced approach to emotions, innovative problem solving, improved social connections, and a strong focus on humanitarian efforts.
The Aquarius Moon trine Jupiter in Gemini this morning will add a refreshing and positive energy that promotes innovation, effective communication, and a sense of optimism. This aspect is likely to enhance both personal and professional interactions, making for a great start to the week.
Use today’s innovative energy to brainstorm and implement new ideas or projects at work, and explore new ways of dealing with personal emotional challenges by embracing unique and unconventional solutions.
Mercury enters Virgo on Thursday, reinforcing our analytical thinking, clear communication and attention to detail. This transit promotes an environment of efficiency, clarity and constructive communication.
Astrology Forecast August 14 – 20, 2023
The week begins with a confident Leo Moon this morning that will boost our self-esteem, assertiveness, and creative expression. It will culminate in a Leo New Moon on Wednesday morning, causing our emotions to dominate in a positive, uplifting way the first three days of the week and ensuring that our interactions with others will be kind and harmonious.
However, the gentle, sentimental mood of tomorrow night’s Leo Moon conjunction with Venus could later turn into an irritable mood, irresponsible actions, or hypersensitivity under the Leo Sun square with Uranus in Taurus tomorrow night. What may start out as a lovely romantic evening with someone special could morph into an impulsive, emotional whirlwind, so try to avoid spiraling into unnecessary emotional drama.
The best time to get anything of a detailed or organized nature done this week is Thursday and Friday, when the Moon moves through intellectual Virgo. Whether you’re clearing out clutter at home, creating a new organizational system at work, restructuring your finances, or dealing with personal health issues, the Virgo Moon will ensure a more successful effort. A Virgo Moon conjunction with Mercury also ensures that Friday will be a great day for business success and sound judgment in professional matters.
The weekend is all about balance, as a Libra Moon reminds us to look closely at any areas of our lives that have become unbalanced or out of order. Relationships are also highlighted this weekend, inviting us to spend more time with our loved ones and give thanks for the special people in our lives. The Libra Moon sextile Venus in Leo makes Sunday the perfect opportunity for a romantic outing with your partner, or a blind date with a new love interest.
Astrology Forecast July 31 – August 6, 2023
If there’s anything important you simply must get done this week, do it today while the Moon is still in diligent Capricorn, because from tomorrow things may become a bit challenging when the Moon waxes full in Aquarius.
Tomorrow’s Aquarius Full Moon may trigger sudden changes in direction or unexpected events. These shifts could work in your favor, but sometimes it’s difficult to see the higher purpose of new developments when we feel thrown off course.
We will also tend to be more restless, moody, confused, or irritable than usual and family drama is much more likely to erupt. Focus on staying in your joy and maintain your inner peace. Stay in the moment, focus on gratitude and potential opportunities, and practice a stance of flexibility and patience.
If things still do go awry in your life tomorow, be sure to at least seek your peace and equilibrium by the evening, because tomorrow night’s Mercury in Virgo opposition to Saturn in Pisces, combined with the full moon energy, may weigh heavily on our mental health. Do not entertain the temporary feelings of loneliness or depression. The Leo Sun will come out again on Wednesday! More will also become clear or make more sense once the Moon glides through gentle, spiritual Pisces on Thursday and Friday.
The weekend unfolds under a creative Aries Moon, so if you were handed some full moon lemons this week, consider some new recipes for making lemonade! Overall this week will make for an interesting few days, as is often the case when we transition from easy-going July into fiery August.
