The celestial week of August 4, 2025, begins with the Sun rising in the brillant rays of Leo, illuminating an opportunity to mirror the potential greatness of humanity through a personal reflection of one’s inner (childlike) self projected outward for a greater good.

Leo energy is ruled by the Sun, which is symbolized by a circle with a dot in the center.  Thus, when positive perceptions are expressed from the heart center, genuine love flows from within as an individual light into the circle of the world of oneness.  Yet, when the individual seeks attention from the world to experience itself, it can become convoluted as the ego without a true purpose of Oneness.  In that sense, Leo energy craves the applause of the world as recognition of a power it does not personally possess.

On this particular day in time, there is a planetary kite formation represented by a grand trine of flowing energy between Uranus in Gemini, Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, and Mars in Virgo, so innovative ideas are harmoniously flowing for a greater good by active communication of congruent behaviors, as Mars in Virgo demonstrates through conscious and clear communication.

However, the caveat is that Mars is temporarily void of course (actions don’t produce desired results) until August 6, when it glides into political Libra to initiate balanced actions relative to opportunities through negotiations and compromises with win/win solutions. 

Although it may be easier said than done, as Mars in Virgo is also opposing Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Aries, suggesting that solutions may come with agendas.  While Saturn and Neptune may agree for the time being, changes may be forthcoming later in the Fall when they both go direct.

Fortunately, Uranus in Gemini and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius form the adjacent sides of the kite, pointing upwards, with the potential to resolve the tension between Mars in Virgo and Saturn and Neptune in Aries, so the energy of the grand trine can be channeled to take flight!

The key is to become consistent and consciously aware that positive, congruent thoughts, words, and actions aligned to the outcome are the factors if the kite flies or doesn’t get off the ground. Therefore, projects relevant to the transformation of humanity can be a symbol of destiny taking flight for a greater good, which requires a sturdy construction that can stand the winds of change with precision and clarity of direction.

Meanwhile, the Moon is in bountiful Sagittarius, encouraging the creation of opportunities as it supports the Sun in Leo with emotional enthusiasm and a profound message to look to the past for insights relative to the future!

On the afternoon of August 5, the Moon settles into ambitious Capricorn with a serious emotional attitude about career goals and daily routines that appear to be stuck and dissolving simultaneously.  However, the information required to get them moving isn’t forthcoming as Mars is void of course in Virgo, and Mercury is retrograde in Leo!  

Personal relationships on the home front don’t fare much better as the Moon in Capricorn later opposes Venus and Jupiter in Cancer, and has no patience to tend to the emotional needs of others.

Mars shifts gears on the evening of August 6, as it moves into politically correct Libra, which it does not particularly care for!  Mars is naturally impulsive and action-driven, with a get out of my way attitude so it can get on with it, whatever it is!  Mars in Libra can become passive-aggressive when it has to stop and wait on others before it can put plans into action!  

Mars in Libra is also stepping into the arena with Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Aries, for the next few days, so temperatures may rise quickly when they don’t move fast enough to suit Mars!  

In the early hours of August 7, the Sun arrives at fifteen degrees of Leo as it shifts into the gibbous phase of the solar year begun at the recent Spring Equinox.  The nature of the gibbous phase is that of a wobble, as the first harvest of the seeds of intentions planted in the Spring produces an abundant or scarce harvest depending on the care that has been given since they were intended.  This is a wobbly energy that provides an opportunity to revisit the intentions and evaluate them for revision before the second harvest comes at the Fall Equinox.

Later in the evening, the Moon flies into eclectic Aquarius with emotional detachment regarding friendships, networking, and group interactions.  The Moon’s first planetary encounters are favorable with Mars in Libra, Uranus in Gemini, Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Aries, and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, so emotional detachment sets the mood for brainstorming about actions regarding relationships, resources, and values, innovative ideas, active commitments to responsibilities, visionary actions, and transformation.

On the evening of August 8, 2025, Mars in Libra impulsively invites Saturn retrograde in Aries for a sparring match, to settle differences over actions required to move forward with business plans that have been on hold since mid-July.  While Mars may win this round, Saturn isn’t getting on board with actions until late November.
