Astrology Forecast September 1 – 7, 2025
The week begins with a sturdy, steadying energy with Saturn entering Pisces. This shift feels like turning the key in a lock that draws out your deeper purpose.
Saturn is the planet of lessons, structure, and resilience. In Pisces, it softens its usual severity, inviting you to ground your dreams, your compassion, and your intuition. It is an invitation to build spiritual discipline, form habits that nourish your soul, and set boundaries that are both gentle and firm.
Think of it as the architecture of your inner life settling into place. If you have been feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or unmoored, this is your moment to pause, breathe, and begin laying a practical foundation for the emotional or creative goals that matter most.
Come midday*, the Moon makes a harmonious connection. Moon in Sagittarius forms a trine to Chiron in Aries.
This aspect brings healing through speaking your truth, especially when you have been shy about your needs or sore points. The Sagittarian Moon invites you to expand your story and to tell your healing journey with confidence.
Chiron in Aries reminds you that your wounds hold the map to your courage. If there is anyone you have been longing to reach out to or any part of yourself that deserves gentle attention today this is a beautiful time to begin.
Astrology Forecast August 25 – 31, 2025
This week opens with a vibrant and creative energy as Venus enters Leo. Today is an excellent time to set intentions for harmony, confidence, and expressive living.
The week begins with the Moon moving into Libra today, bringing a welcome sense of balance and harmony. Libra energy encourages diplomacy, aesthetic beauty, and emotional equilibrium. If things have felt chaotic lately, this shift helps you reset your internal compass.
Not long after, Venus enters Leo. This brings a wave of creative and confident energy. Venus in Leo is playful, expressive, and dramatic in the best way.
You may feel called to update your look, make a bold statement, or add flair to your everyday routine. It is a wonderful time to remember the joy of being seen and celebrated.
The Moon in Libra makes several significant connections. First, it opposes Saturn in Aries. This may create a sense of tension between your desire for peace and your responsibilities or limitations. It is an opportunity to identify where you may be compromising too much or where you need firmer boundaries.
Later today*, the Moon forms a trine with Uranus in Gemini. This is a refreshing influence that brings flashes of insight or surprising solutions. If something has felt stuck, this could be the moment when clarity arrives in a creative or unexpected way.
Astrology Forecast August 18 – 24, 2025
The week begins with the Moon still in curious Gemini this morning*, helping us ease into Monday with lots of conversation, ideas, and intellectual connection. But while the day starts light and communicative, it becomes more emotional as the day goes on.
A sextile with the Sun in Leo early on boosts our confidence and creative energy. You may feel inspired to share what’s on your heart or mind.
By late morning, a sextile between the Moon and Chiron in Aries makes it easier to talk about things that have been bothering you. This is a good time to heal through honest conversation or to support someone going through a rough patch.
In the afternoon, the Moon shifts into Cancer, turning the emotional volume up for the next few days. This Moon sign brings a focus on feelings, home life, and close relationships.
Shortly after the Moon changes signs, it squares with both Saturn and Neptune in Aries, which can stir up feelings of pressure or confusion.
You might feel torn between what your heart wants and what you need to get done. Later in the evening, a quincunx with Pluto in Aquarius may bring up deep emotions or a need to let go of something that no longer serves you.
Take time today to notice how you’re feeling and what your body and heart are asking for. Self-care, comfort, and honest conversations go a long way today.
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.
Mercury Retrograde: A Time To Revisit, Reflect And Realign
Has it felt like the universe has been playing a cosmic prank on you lately? Maybe your phone or computer has started acting up, or your travel plans have taken an unexpected turn, or maybe every conversation feels like a confusing game of telephone?
You’re not imagining any it, and you’re definitely not alone. Blame it on the astrological phenomenon known as Mercury Retrograde.
Mercury began its current retrograde motion in the sign of Leo on July 18, 2025. This phase will last for 24 days, ending on August 11, 2025, with Mercury still positioned in Leo as it returns to direct motion.
But this energetic shift doesn’t stop there. After Mercury stations direct, we enter the shadow period, also known as the post-retrograde shadow or retroshade. This phase usually lasts for about two more weeks, meaning the lingering effects of the current retrograde may continue through August 25, 2025.
Mercury retrograde occurs three, and occasionally four, times each year due to the planet’s swift orbit around the Sun. As the innermost planet, Mercury completes this journey in just 88 Earth days.
During its retrograde phase, Mercury appears to move backward in the sky from our earthly perspective, creating a temporary disruption in its usual energetic influence. Because it is the planet that rules communication, travel, and information, its retrograde motion often stirs up confusion, delays, and misunderstandings in these areas of life.
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 June 30 – July 6, 2025
If there’s one day this week that calls for focus, planning, and purposeful action, it’s today. The Virgo Moon provides ideal energetic support for getting things done, setting intentions, and managing life’s details. There is a crispness in the air and a quiet sense that now is the time to tackle that to-do list or organize lingering goals.
Consider today is your anchor point for the week. It’s a prime opportunity for clearing your schedule, setting realistic goals, and aligning with your higher sense of purpose.
Adding to the day’s potency, Mercury forms a semi-sextile with expansive Jupiter, bridging fiery Leo and emotional Cancer. This subtle yet fortuitous alignment enhances our ability to communicate creatively and from the heart.
Whether you’re writing, speaking, or making plans, there’s a sweet spot between confidence and compassion that can help your ideas resonate.
Later in the day, the Moon’s quintile to Jupiter further emphasizes the theme of growth through thoughtful emotion. Quintiles are creative and inspired aspects; this one may bring an intuitive moment of clarity or an imaginative breakthrough.
Trust your instincts, especially if they guide you toward healing conversations or revisiting emotionally rich dreams.
However, a couple of more challenging lunar aspects roll in by the evening. The Moon sesquiquadrates Pluto in Aquarius, hinting at an undercurrent of intensity or emotional power struggles. Be mindful of trying to control outcomes or overanalyzing things beyond your reach.
