August 2025 Astrology ~ Rare Alignments, Sweet Surges & Big Turning Points

Here are some top points to know about the August 2025 Astrology. See my August 2025 Horoscope Videos/Podcasts  for more details and also in the date specific notes towards the end of this written report:

**Scroll down around midway through this report to find Sweet and Salty dates!!

1. The sky is starting to really HEAT UP! The amount of mathematically relevant planetary connections increases this month, still favoring the sweet over salty! Some of my FAVORITE ASPECTS of the WHOLE YEAR are this month, and of the stressful ones, 2/3 of the nuisance connections take place over only TWO days! (I will go into these details in the second half of this report).

2. We are still very retrograde focused in August.

July 18 (or close to it depending on your time zone) Mercury officially went retrograde, and the pre-transit shadow period begins July 1. Mercury will go direct in the days around August 11 and the post-transit shadow period will last until August 26. This means that almost all of August is covered in retro but after the days around August 11, you will start to see signs of forward movement and clarity in making plans and decisions. The second half of August also holds most of the sweet aspects so that will be helpful for getting back onto the proactive and forward-moving path.

For the first half of the month, it is still very much time to be the earthworm, going back over previous things to get them ripe and ready for the next and last open period free from personal planet retros which begins August 26.

If you have to make any big decisions, moves, agreement, contracts, etc. the second half of August may give you more astrological OOMPH for your big things. If you want to align efforts with great aspects, see my faves in the second half of this report.

3. The Eclipse Story:

After a dramatic ending to the 2-year era story of the Aries/Libra eclipse cycle and the second chapter in the very long (into 2027) Virgo/Pisces eclipse cycle in March and April, we had a break time in the latter part of May and all of June. July starts the next eclipse season and you will see storylines begun towards the second half of 2024 continuing in their chapters now as we focus only on the Pisces/Virgo eclipse cycle and have a Lunar Eclipse at 15° of Pisces on September 7 and a Solar Eclipse at 29° on September 21. 

The eclipse “season” starts 4-6 (and sometimes even 8 weeks BEFORE the first eclipse) so as August progresses, expect new information to come in as the eclipse stories in motion evolve. The intensity level of karmic hello’s and goodbye’s and other life-changing experiences will start to heat up as August progresses. You may see themes that began at the end of last year come back up with new chapters.

Stay up on the eclipse storylines in process, as a member of my Free VIP community, you have access to my Eclipse Resource Page. Look for updates to include the next series of eclipses on this page soon (if they haven’t posted by the time you check them out).

Pisces/Virgo eclipse stories will still be an under current until 2027, with the lessons and changes popping into the forefront every 6 months during eclipse season.

.

4. We have 3 zodiac stars this month, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo.

Venus will be in Cancer from August 1 - 26.

You will see opportunities for softness in your love and money dealings, making decisions from your heart more than your mind. Chances to earn money from home or with work that has to do with homes, real estate, and emotional healing may be many. Home, family, and housing will take center stage as not only Venus makes her movement through Cancer, but we also continue what will be a year focus in Cancer for Jupiter.

After having the retrograde in Leo, Mercury will continue to stay in Leo until early September. The Sun joins in from around July 23 through around August 23. When Mercury and the Sun move through Leo, thoughts and words become bolder, more dramatic, and infused with heart. This is a time for speaking with flair, making declarations, telling stories, and owning your voice with pride. Communication becomes more expressive and creative—ideal for writing, performing, or launching bold ideas. However, there may be a tendency toward stubborn opinions or speaking over others. The challenge is to balance confidence with listening. Use this transit to clarify your vision and speak from your inner light—not just for attention, but to inspire, uplift, and lead with passion.

Mars is in Virgo all month and until August 7. Mars in Virgo brings drive and energy to the realm of precision, service, and refinement. Motivation is channeled into getting things right—fixing, editing, cleaning, organizing, improving. This is an ideal time to tackle projects requiring focus and follow-through. You may feel more productive, but also more critical—of yourself and others. Be careful not to get caught in perfectionism or micromanagement. Use this transit to direct your energy toward systems that support long-term wellness, both physical and practical. Efficiency is power now, and success comes from thoughtful, consistent action—not flashy moves.

Mars will be in Libra from August 7 - September 23. With Mars in Libra, the warrior planet enters the sign of harmony and diplomacy, creating a push-pull between assertion and accommodation. This transit energizes relationships, contracts, and creative collaborations, but can also stir passive-aggressive dynamics or indecision. You may find yourself fighting for fairness or avoiding conflict to keep the peace. The key is learning how to assert your desires while honoring others' perspectives. Charm, tact, and compromise become tools for progress—but don’t mistake politeness for powerlessness. Mars in Libra thrives when action is graceful, balanced, and aligned with shared values.

Here are some very notable dates to look out for as aspects occur on these days. The days may be staggered in different time zones and all of the aspects last longer than just the day they are on so look out for manifestations BEFORE and AFTER the aspect dates. 

Note, if a date is listed more than once for a sweet or salty, that is because there are MULTIPLE aspects that day!

SWEET ~ Wonderful boosts are more likely on or around these days: 8, 10, 11-12, 14, 17-18, 19, 25, 26, 26, 28, and 31.

SALTY ~ Drama or stress are more likely in the days around: 1, 1, 1-2, 2, 8, 9, 24, 24, 24, 26-27.

Notable Moon Dates:

August 9 ~  Full Moon at 17° of Aquarius 

The Full Moon in Aquarius shines a light on collective vision, innovation, and emotional detachment for clarity. It’s a time to break free from outdated patterns and honor your individuality within the larger group. Unexpected insights or shifts in community dynamics may occur. Use this lunation to release the need for approval and reconnect with what makes you unique. Embrace change, think ahead, and honor your role in the future you’re helping to create.

You can see more ways to maximize the potentials through my blog, Powerful Full Moon in Aquarius Reveal & Release Ceremony.

August 22-23 ~ New Moon at 0° of Virgo

The next New Moon will ALSO be a New Moon in Virgo, making it a BLACK MOON which is also an eclipse! (September 21). This first New Moon in the days around August 22-23 holds extra potential as it sits in this power position as the first round of DOUBLE SEED PLANTING that will come from this sequence.

The New Moon in Virgo offers a grounded, clarifying reset—perfect for refining routines, setting practical goals, and tending to the details that support long-term growth. This is an ideal time to plant seeds related to health, organization, service, and skill-building. Virgo’s energy invites discernment, not perfection, and helps us simplify what’s become too cluttered or chaotic. Small, mindful changes now can lead to major improvements down the road. Reflect on what needs realignment—mentally, physically, or emotionally—and take gentle, intentional steps forward. This lunation favors systems that sustain, rituals that restore, and work that truly feels meaningful.

Another Notable Date:

August 11 ~ Mercury Direct in Leo (Pre-Transit Shadow Period Begins June 30 and Post-Transit Shadow Period Ends August 26)

ASPECTS TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL & AWAREFUL AROUND in AUGUST:

We have 3 main clusters of days to be extra careful around!

Here are the top ones to watch out for and how to make lemonade out of each potential challenge:

There is a mega intensity warning for the days around August 1-2 (with a radius of several days before and after).

Venus in Cancer square Saturn in Aries may stir feelings of emotional rejection, loneliness, or fear around expressing affection. You may feel unsupported or overly responsible in love or finances. If others seem distant, it’s an invitation to establish self-trust and emotional boundaries. 

Lemonade tip: Use this tension to define what real support looks like and to commit to your own emotional maturity.

Venus in Cancer square Neptune in Aries can blur relationship dynamics or bring disillusionment. Over-idealizing others or acting from fantasy may lead to disappointment. Emotions may feel overwhelming or confusing. 

Lemonade tip:Channel this energy into compassionate creativity—music, poetry, art, or spiritual practice—and stay grounded in reality when making love or money decisions.

Venus in Cancer inconjunct Pluto in Aquarius challenges comfort and control. Hidden power dynamics or unspoken emotional needs may rise uncomfortably. Obsessive tendencies or deep vulnerability could surface. 

Lemonade tip: Let this be a portal to self-awareness. Transform fear of loss into deepened intimacy and authentic self-expression.

Mars in Virgo inconjunct Chiron in Aries may trigger frustration around not doing or fixing “enough.” Efforts may feel unappreciated or off the mark. 

Lemonade tip: Focus on healing through service—without self-erasure. Progress lies in patient, imperfect effort.

A second mega intensity warning with active challenges in the days around August 8-9 (with a radius of several days before and after).

Mars in Libra opposing Saturn in Aries can feel like pressing the gas and brake at the same time. You may want to take action, especially in relationships or collaborations, but hit resistance—internally or externally. Others may seem controlling or inflexible, or you may doubt your own ability to assert yourself. This can also manifest as fear of confrontation or fatigue from trying to please everyone. 

Lemonade tip: Let this opposition reveal where balance is needed between initiative and patience. Use it to build discipline in how you handle conflict. Assert yourself calmly, set healthy boundaries, and learn to act without needing immediate validation.

Mars in Libra opposing Neptune in Aries brings potential for confusion in motivation, blurred boundaries, or disillusionment in how others receive your efforts. You may feel scattered, drained, or unsure whose goals you’re even fighting for. Passive-aggression or martyrdom can surface if your desires are unclear or unspoken. 

Lemonade tip: This is a powerful transit for redirecting action toward spiritual or creative endeavors. Practice discernment, rest when needed, and ground your efforts in truth rather than illusion. When actions align with integrity—rather than approval or fantasy—they become more impactful, even if the results aren't immediately visible. Compassionate clarity is your superpower here.

And another mega intensity warning for the days around August 24 - 27 (with a radius of several days before and after).

Sun in Virgo square Uranus in Gemini can bring sudden disruptions to your plans, routines, or mindset. Nervous energy may spike, and trying to maintain control can lead to frustration. There may be a push toward innovation, but without clarity. 

Lemonade tip: Use this jolt to break free from perfectionism. Stay flexible. Embrace unexpected detours as creative catalysts, not derailments.

Sun in Virgo inconjunct Neptune in Aries blurs the line between discernment and delusion. You may feel unclear about your purpose or drained by invisible expectations. Overwork can meet burnout. 

Lemonade tip: Reconnect with your deeper why. Prioritize rest, spiritual hygiene, and meaningful service over overextending yourself trying to “fix” everything.

Sun in Virgo inconjunct Pluto in Aquarius brings pressure to evolve through discomfort. Power struggles may arise between the urge to serve and a deeper pull toward systemic transformation. 

Lemonade tip: This is your chance to release outdated ways of being useful and instead lead with quiet influence. Own your inner authority, even in subtle roles.

Venus in Leo Opposing Pluto in Aquarius stirs intensity in love, money, or self-worth. Desire may collide with control issues or hidden agendas. 

Lemonade tip: Let this tension uncover what needs to be transformed in your relationships. True love honors sovereignty—start with your own.

MY TOP FAVE ASPECTS OF AUGUST 2025:

Remember that you can experience the good vibes BEFORE and AFTER the dates listed as the web of influence extends beyond the day of exact connection. 

August 8 ~ Mars in Libra Trine Uranus in Gemini

This transit brings a dynamic surge of creative and strategic action. Mars in Libra wants to move with balance and grace, while Uranus in Gemini adds a spark of innovation, spontaneity, and brilliant thinking. This is an excellent time to initiate projects that require teamwork, tech-savvy skills, or out-of-the-box problem-solving. You may feel more daring, diplomatic, and quick on your feet. Use this energy to take a thoughtful risk or say yes to something exciting and unconventional.

August 10 ~ Mars in Libra Trine Pluto in Aquarius

This is a powerful alignment for purposeful action and influence. Mars brings initiative, while Pluto provides depth, drive, and transformation. In Libra and Aquarius, this transit supports collective causes, negotiations, and high-level strategy. You can move mountains with charm and intelligence now. It’s a great time to work toward long-term goals, especially those requiring subtle power moves or collaboration. Align with your deeper motivations, lead with conviction, and don’t underestimate the strength of soft power.

August 11–12 ~ Venus in Cancer Conjunct Jupiter in Cancer

This sweet, expansive transit offers warmth, abundance, and emotional nourishment. Venus and Jupiter together magnify love, generosity, and beauty, especially in the tender, intuitive sign of Cancer. It’s an ideal time for heartfelt connection, family blessings, nesting, and healing relationship dynamics. Financial opportunities may also arise, particularly when linked to caregiving, home, or creative pursuits. Let your softer side lead. Practice gratitude, open your heart, and give or receive in ways that feel deeply fulfilling. Joy grows when shared.

August 19 ~ Sun in Leo Trine Chiron in Aries

This transit shines a healing light on self-expression and identity. The Sun in Leo brings confidence and bold visibility, while Chiron in Aries highlights old wounds around independence and self-worth. Together, they offer a chance to reclaim your power and shine as you are—flaws and all. Use this moment to express something vulnerable or affirming. It’s a potent time for creative courage, inner child healing, or stepping into a leadership role that once felt out of reach. Lead by example.

August 25 ~ Venus in Leo Trine Saturn in Aries

This harmonious trine supports grounded, loyal love and commitment. Venus in Leo wants passion and presence, while Saturn in Aries offers structure and longevity to what matters most. It’s a favorable time to build something lasting—whether in love, finance, or creative work. Relationships may feel more stable, with mutual respect as the foundation. This transit rewards those who show up with both heart and responsibility. A creative idea could become more than a spark—it can become a plan.

August 28 ~ MEGA LONG-TERM OUTER PLANET CONNECTION ~ Uranus in Gemini Sextile Neptune in Aries

This aspect started getting stronger in June and July and will be in strong effect for THE REST of 2025!

This rare, generational aspect opens the door to visionary insight and inspired innovation. Uranus shakes up thought patterns; Neptune softens perception and expands spiritual horizons. Their sextile creates opportunities to merge technology with imagination, logic with intuition, activism with idealism. 

This is a brilliant time for breakthroughs in science, healing, art, or global consciousness. Use it to dream bigger while staying open to unconventional paths. Even small insights now may ripple into long-term transformation—personally and collectively.

This rare sextile between Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Aries offers a subtle yet profound invitation into the future of thought, healing, innovation, and spiritual integration.

This is not your typical daily transit. It’s a slow-building, generational alignment between two outer planets that rarely collaborate this smoothly. Uranus breaks barriers and electrifies the mind. Neptune dissolves illusion and softens the heart. Together in a harmonious 60° angle, they open a frequency where intuitive knowing and intellectual genius can co-create something visionary.

Expect flickers of inspiration that feel ahead of their time. Dreams may contain codes. Ideas may arrive as downloads. Sudden shifts in belief systems, technological awakenings, or bursts of artistic brilliance are possible—not through pressure, but through permission.

This sextile is especially potent for:

• Visionaries, inventors, and creative disruptors
• Spiritual practitioners ready to evolve their methods
• Healers blending science and soul
• Communities rethinking education, language, activism, and identity

It’s a time for aligning what’s emerging with what’s eternal. Old rules don’t apply. Trust what’s whispering from beyond the known and let it shape what’s next. The future is not a destination—it’s a frequency. And now, you’re tuning in.

August 31 ~ Mercury in Leo Trine Chiron in Aries

Words carry healing power under this gentle and affirming transit. Mercury in Leo brings bold voice and heartfelt expression, while Chiron in Aries helps articulate pain that once felt too raw to name. Conversations—especially around identity, courage, or creativity—can mend misunderstandings or bolster self-worth. This is a strong time for public speaking, journaling, or simply saying what once felt unspeakable. What you share now has the potential to inspire not just others, but yourself. Speak with bravery.
