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.

The celestial week begins with the Sun rising in retrospective Cancer, illuminating an opportunity to share higher knowledge gleaned from past experiences with others to reconnect with spiritual ideals. Cancer energy is governed by the Moon drifting through visionary Pisces, restoring the reconnection with emotional faith.
Meanwhile, Jupiter, the daily ruler of Pisces, is also flowing through watery Cancer with an opportunity to emulate higher forms of authority by choosing to respond to circumstances instead of reacting. At the same time, Neptune, the transcendental ruler of Pisces, is doing a backstroke in action-oriented Aries, testing the patience of a saint!
Saturn has joined the backwards motion in Aries; thus, responsible actions to handle impatience are up to Mars in Virgo to communicate appropriate boundaries. However, Mercury is the planetary communicator and is in Leo and in the shadow of retrograde motion. Therefore, Mars is on its own to manage responsible actions, communication, and daily routines.
The emotional climate shifts just before midnight as the Moon blazes into temperamental Aries with a fiery desire to burn emotional bridges with others who are unwilling to resolve ongoing issues with direct communication. The caveat is that there is a tendency for Aries energy to jump the gun with premature actions that don’t offer solutions. Thus, the key is to think before reacting and be willing to listen or consider how the other person is experiencing your communication.
Otherwise, Mars, the ruling warrior of Aries, is traveling through conscious Virgo, and may react with words sharper than knives that cut through the chase, and potentially harm relationships needlessly. As Mercury is the liaison of Virgo and is almost standing still in the glory of Leo, unnecessary drama and hurt feelings may require time to heal, yet still leave emotional scars.
Just before midnight on July 17, Mercury begins to retreat from the drama-trauma recently created or contributed by, “my head is too big for my hat,” egotistic Leo! The other side of the Leo coin is a generous, good-hearted effort to share creative advice from a perspective of love. However, unsolicited advice may fall flat with the feeling of boundaries being trespassed. As the saying “silence is golden” goes, it is certainly appropriate for Mercury retrograde in Leo!
On another note, the value of gold may begin to decline, large purchases may have to be returned if they turn out to be more glitter than gold, and relationships can unravel if partners are tempted to flirt with fire!
In the early hours of July 18, the Moon slips into calm, earthy Taurus with an emotional desire to sleep deeper and later, or take the day off and lounge around with a head start on the weekend! After all, Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto are all away on vacation, so who is going to notice? Venus and Uranus are both in Gemini, getting the job done under the supervision of Mars in Virgo, so at least go in later or take off early!

The celestial week of July 7, 2025, begins with the Sun rising in sensitive, caring Cancer, illuminating an opportunity to gain control over one’s inner and outer life by opening one’s heart to new realizations about relating. The caveat is that the caretaker of Cancer is the Moon, who is traveling through enthusiastic Sagittarius with an emotional need to expand creative horizons, instead of wading into a deep pond of emotions to explore feelings relative to childhood, home, and family.
Yet, Jupiter, the philosophical ruler of Sagittarius, has just relocated to Cancer and is stirring up unresolved or unhealed emotional experiences of the past twelve years for resolutions, so that new growth, expansion, and opportunities can be cultivated.
However, as the Moon in Sagittarius and Jupiter in Cancer are exchanging astrological signs, they are inclined to work together to release emotional issues. Although each one goes about it differently, it requires a shift of perception from each to obtain the desired results. Thus, teasing fun may soothe abrupt emotional outbursts to relieve the building tension.
If there seems to be an unpredictable shift in the air over impending changes, it could be because Uranus arrived in Gemini before the sun came up, where it will reside until November 2025, before it retrogrades back into earthly, calm Taurus until April 2026.
Hence, there is a four-month preview of which way the winds of change are blowing relative to information, broadcasting, freedom of speech, air travel, AI, electronic devices, and unpredictable weather events due to air, water, and fire that erupts uncontrollably.
The key to navigating Uranus in Gemini during the next several years, who is in cahoots with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, and Saturn and Neptune in Aries, is in the awareness and power of thoughts, language, actions, vision, and responsibility to create the nature of personal and collective reality.
On a personal level, shifts in consciousness occur with curiosity, intuitive insights, fearless actions, inspirational visions, and responsible attitudes can lead to the quick development of innovative ideas and projects.
On a collective level, the last time Uranus traveled through Gemini was between 1941 – 1949, which included the end of WW II, the beginning of the Cold War, and the start of the nuclear age. There were also significant developments in radio broadcasting, computers, and early forms of mass media, among many other changes in revolutionary technology.
By the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, the country and the birthchart of the United States of America were born, with Uranus in Gemini. With this evolutionary planet in the airy sign of Gemini, liberty, freedom, and equality would become the foundation of a nation worth fighting for and preserving. Every eighty-four years after the USA would be involved in a war protecting those freedoms. In 1775-1783, it was the American Revolutionary War, in 1861-1865, the American Civil War, and in 1939-1945, World War II.
As Uranus travels through Gemini between July 2025-2033, will there be another chapter in history about the war in the US for equality, or will war become obsolete as a folly of superiority? Perhaps, the answer lies in the heart and mind of every citizen in the United States as humanity collectively and consciously creates a reality of peace or passively allows unlearned lessons from the past to continue influencing the present.
In the early hours of July 9, the Moon begins to climb an emotional mountain of Capricorn to establish an appropriate protocol of respect for relating as an acceptable code of conduct for all ages. The fly in the ointment is that Saturn, the CEO of Capricorn, is impulsively racing through hair-trigger Aries without a thought or plan for the consequences, instead of leading with authority. Saturn in Aries tends to take everything personally, resorting to temper tantrums when it has to obey the rules.
However, Mars is the superintendent of Aries and is positioned in conscious Virgo, to assist the Moon in Capricorn with wayward, unruly adults acting like children. Yet, Mercury, the messenger of Virgo, is in the shadow of its upcoming retrograde cycle, so addressing resistance from the heavy-handed behaviors of Saturn in Aries, aided by Neptune in Aries. Thus, it may require a great deal of patience and perseverance to gain any traction. There may be some relief when Saturn joins Neptune in retrograde motion on July 12.
The full moon occurs on July 10, as the Sun in Cancer opposes the Moon in Capricorn, illuminating the cooperation necessary to commit to relieving responsible adults from carrying the weight of responsibility for adult children.
The emotional climate shifts unexpectedly after lunch on July 11, as the Moon announces its presence in emotionally detached Aquarius. The Moon’s first planetary encounter is with Saturn in Aries, followed by Neptune in Aries, with intuitive insights to shift the current narrative of reckless behaviors. The Moon then aligns with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius to strategize power moves to regain control without appearing to.
