Monthly Astrology August 2025 Forecast for All Signs

ARIES

Open the door marked ‘Opportunity’

What’s meant for you can’t pass you by

Welcome to the Hot Zone!

Hot zone August sees ruler Mars in Libra and your 7^th (6^th). And Venus in Leo and your 5^th (25^th). With Mercury direct in Leo from the 11^th, and flying free and clear of any shade on the same day as Venus arrives. Have you used this retro period to re-explore your magic, Aries? How are your beliefs around your ability to attract and manifest? Change your thoughts, you not only change your world, you charge up what you can attain, achieve or have.

That’s been the simple message behind Mercury’s backward musing in your 5^th. Now, each and every single one of your houses of attraction are activated this August. You have Saturn, Neptune and the object of improbability Chiron in your sign, the Sun (until the 22^nd), Mercury and Venus in your 5^th, and your ruler in your 7^th. On the 9^th, Mars opposes Neptune in your sign. Showing you what’s real and what isn’t. And challenging your thoughts about yourself.

The following day (10^th), Mars will trine Pluto in your sector of goals. And combined with the full Moon in your 11^th (9^th), this is all about what you believe you can manifest. One way or the other. You may see the results appear in a way that shows you the power of your focus. Don’t think ‘I’ll believe it when I see it’. Think: I’ll see it when I believe it!

A certain lack of energy not to mention motivation, is expected. And if you start the month feeling this way – thanks to the squares between Venus in your 4^th and Saturn and Neptune, you will end the month feeling alive and at your most sizzling. Mid-month and we have what could be one of the best days of ‘25. And please – don’t fall into the trap of thinking ‘I’ve heard all this before!’. Especially if June’s ‘Luckiest day of the year’ – the meeting between the Sun and Jupiter in Cancer, left an ‘Is that it?’ after-taste in your mouth.

Now, get a sweet serving of the Venus/Jupiter meeting on the 12^th. A day which blesses anything to do with home, family, cementing that path and emotional sustainability. These two planets have not met in this sector of your chart since 2002. You may benefit via a property deal, from a family member, gain traction when it comes to long term plans or be handed the key to a door marked ‘Opportunity’. This is an excellent day to set long term plans in motion. And to envision what living in the future looks like for you.

Keep in mind what I said about your beliefs around your thoughts and what they can generate. Because the universe is set to respond. This Venus/Jupiter conjunction not only happens conjunct fixed star Sirius in Cancer. But against a backdrop of two kite aspects and an Envelope/Mystic Rectangle. And this also ensnares ruler Mars in your 7^th. Sirius amplifies Jupiter’s energy. As it is associated with all the qualities we ascribe to Jupiter. Expansion, luck, opportunity, progress, renown. Throw in the Envelope aspect – and this tells you that you will receive a reply back to what you send out there! Make this your most detailed and all-compassing vision yet.

Single and ready to mingle? Hot zone August places you centre stage once Mercury is direct. Travel should now be smooth and snafu free. And you are spotlit in some way. Be it the nexus of attraction if out and about. Or with your feed, that app and your online life. The 15^th – 18^th are dates to put yourself out there as slow moving Mercury remains in orb of Mars across these dates. Allowing you to more than make up for FOMO or lost time! And back to those thoughts again. What’s meant for you (or who), cannot pass you by. Keep this in mind.

The Sun moves into your 6^th (22^nd), with a new Moon to follow the very next day. It’s sliver of pristine perfection tells you to focus on the small stuff. And yes, it’s all small stuff. Keep your focus in the here and now. Attend to daily work-related tasks. If your day job no longer works for you, now is the time to send those applications winging their way out there. Update your routine, habits and self-care. No more processed or convenience foods. Move your body and be present in it. It is your vehicle by which you not only move through life, but engage with it and experience pleasure. If it’s neglected, tired, burned out, malfunctioning, drained, over worked or simply ignored when it tells you something’s not right, you are not in a position to enjoy all life has to offer you. Again, change your focus by changing your priorities.

Focus difficult? Procrastination tends to be your default non-move? You’ve a special technique for this in your New Moon in Virgo Moonscope this month so be ready when it drops.

What we want and what we need are often too different things. Do you believe the universe knows best, Aries? That’s the next question you’ll be seeking to answer by the end of the month. Yes, those beliefs shape what you can attract.

But once you set the energy in motion, be open to what the universe delivers in response. The unexpected, novel, unusual and downright radical could appear that overturns what you believe is possible. Or transforms your ideas around just what you can conjure when you try. The 26^th – 29^th could see a surprise encounter, offer or crystallisation of this. If you have been hesitant to take that definitive step towards making something real for yourself, you’ll choose the fear – and the affirmative action it calls for. Someone may join you in that hot zone, Aries. Or something is cooking in it and now comes to the boil.

=In a nutshell. Rare and brilliant cosmic alignments could see long term plans in motion. Or even within your grasp this month. A door leading to opportunity opens wide. Don’t hesitate to walk through it, Aries.

TAURUS

Shine brighter

Expect a positive outcome

News sets you on a new course

You’re in the mood to get things done this month. Especially when it comes to work and money, Taurus. Yes, the good life is always at the heart of this. And what success looks like for you. Not others. Keep this in mind as Mars enters your can-do 6^th (6^th). And a full Moon lights up your success sector on the 9^th. With Uranus now in Gemini and your money zone, plus Mars and your ruler Venus asking Saturn and Neptune a few questions around recognition and rewards, there’s some weighing up to do. As well as the potential to delve into exploring alternative ways to make your bread. And then how you butter that and enjoy it.

The full Moon in your 10^th (9^th), shines on your roles and goals in life. Your achievements, track record and also the rewards and recognition these have delivered. Or not. Sometimes we get to where we wanted to, only to discover we have given up too much in the process. Being Venus ruled you know on a soul level that there is always a trade off and a price to be paid. Hopefully this is all in balance. But now is the time to address whether this is the case. Or not as the case may be.

If you set out to succeed, but it has come at the cost of your personal life for instance, you will now create a better work/life balance. If you have been working with your signature Taurus devotion, but have not received the rewards and recognition you deserve in return, after the 12^th, you will reset your priorities and your path and head in a new direction.

The full Moon in your 10^th will deliver results and also a reality check as to how you are seen, valued and rewarded. It tells you: This is where you are at. With a particular role or goal in your life. Overlooked or undervalued? Don’t fall prey to the sunk cost fallacy. You’re worth more than that! Take yourself more seriously, embrace determination and look to those alternatives I mentioned. If others such as your employer or even your partner, take you for granted, then stop doing the same. Be prepared to breakaway. Especially from being seen in a way which diminishes you and all you do. And if you need to, the way ahead will open up for you by the end of the month.

Coming up – one of the best days for news and making your move that you’ve experienced in over two decades, Taurus! The 12^th is your date to push ahead with plans and projects. To become an advocate for your dreams and ideas. To send out, share and say it. To shine bright at what you do. Or to simply hear back the answer you have been waiting for. Plans and ideas get a positive response. Yes abounds. You see you are now on the right track to succeed. Engagement – be this IRL or online, leads to followers, flirtation and you powering ahead.

This date sees Venus and Jupiter meet in your 3^rd. The first time this has happened in this sector of your chart since 2002. If you were 18 or over back then, jump back in time and see what you set in motion, what was held out or on offer, or a dialogue or idea which had a momentum all its own. Travel may feature as well. Especially as you are now in retro-free territory.

Check your chart for factors at 14 degrees. Any sign, any house. But especially if they are in either your sign (in which case this conjunction will sextile them), 14 Cancer or 14 Scorpio or Pisces. You can allow up to a two degree orb here. If you have them in Cancer, they are conjunct. In Scorpio or Pisces they will trine your natal aspects. But for all Taureans, this conjunction is extra special as it is exact to the fixed star Siruis (14 Cancer). Sirius is actually a binary star. And it shares qualities with Jupiter – expansion, luck, fame, elevation, opportunity and renown. So, with your ruler involved too, this offers up additional benefits for you.

Push ahead with projects, plans, pitches, submissions and applications. Look to your online life as there are opportunities waiting to be discovered. This day also sees a starlight crossing form with a Grand Air Trine, two high flying Kites, and another aspect known as an Envelope/Mystic Rectangle. Within all this we have Uranus in your 2^nd and also your two love planets – Mars and Pluto. Partners could well play a role. And if it is not your own good news that arrives – you could be celebrating a partner’s win. Often aspect names can be translated literally. Especially with Envelopes. Think special envelopes like we see opened at awards ceremonies like the Oscars. ‘And the Oscar goes to . . .’

Mercury has been retrograde in Leo and your 4^th house. It heads direct from the 11^th and clears retro-shade on the 25^th – the same day as ruler Venus arrives in here. Not only does this lift delays and reversals around home, family, moving and property matters, it opens up the way to pave a fresh path to the good life for you.

Venus will join Mercury in this house on the 25^th. By which time the Sun (22^nd) has moved off into your fabulizing 5^th. Bringing you what should be your yearly pleasure cycle. Kick-started by the new Moon in here on the 23^rd. Yes, there’s a feeling of leaning in to greater accomplishments on a personal level. And in creating something lasting for yourself. And those you care for. Shelter and security, living beautifully and a home to take pride in, will be the outcomes you are willing to strive for.

Do ensure you don’t become so focussed on this you withdraw into isolation. Or refuse to look at alternatives to get what you want. You are now ready for anything. But are you also ready for play, love, self-expression and pleasure? Also look to where you are deferring happiness for an unspecified date when you have ‘made it’. Just when is that, Taurus? And why the wait?

Look to where your determination to reach a goal or milestone may be working against you. Especially if you have become sealed off or seen as remote or disengaged. I know that was never your intention but it can easily happen. Mercury retrograde in your 4^th will have highlighted these areas for you if they exist. As well as whether or not the path you are on is ‘worth it’.

The month ends with fresh, free-flowing energy coaxing you out of any self-imposed confinement. Singles could meet someone new and enticing with just a little extra effort. Others can just rediscover how blissfully rewarding life can be when they choose to simply be 100% present in the moment with loved ones, friends or doing the things they love.

New hobbies can be taken up and there’s new territory available to explore in the final week of August. Some of you may be going on holiday and if so, you are travelling retro-free. This week favours launches, pushing ahead with plans, accepting invitations which take you outside your usual social sphere, joining a club, group or association, applying for a new role and setting a radically different goal to those you may have aimed for previously. Above all, Taurus, if you have been knocking on one particular door and it has refused to open – now is the time to go bang on a new one.

In a nutshell: It’s your turn to shine this month, Taurus. News you have been waiting for could arrive on the 12^th. But if it’s not what you wanted, the universe places fresh opportunities in your past. You’re unafraid to strike out in a new direction this August.

GEMINI

Ready for the new ‘Normal’?

Prepare to be amazed

Get that new rich feeling

Ruler Mercury heads direct in your 3^rd from the 11^th. And clears post-shade on the 25^th. The time for spinning those wheels is over. And it’s pedal to the metal when it comes to your plans.

There’s no doubt you’re antsy for more this August. Revving those engines and waiting for that green light. You’ll be actively seeking out the novel, exciting, engaging, new and dynamically different thanks to Uranus now in residence. But this desire to get moving gets a fuel injection as Mars powers into your 5^th house. This has you not only in pedal to the metal mode when it comes to heading off in hot pursuit of those desires, Gemini. But actively wanting to ditch the old you in some way. And you’ll happily go after anything which allows you to reinvent yourself or simply demonstrate that you’re done with an element of your past.

You’ll redefine your own image of yourself. And delight in shaking up that narrative others have created around you. If anyone attempts to pigeonhole you, you will confound their rigid ideas at every turn. Yes, you are in a long term process of constant reinvention now. Welcome to your evolution, Gemini!

Yes, hold fast to those retro rules right up until Mercury clears its post-shade. But also see any unexpected events as opportunities to lean in to a new flexibility and approach – rather than challenges. Do especially watch out for this on the 9^th when we have a full Moon in Aquarius – Uranus’ ruling sign. And Mars opposes both Saturn and Neptune in your 11^th. Whatever upends, is overthrown or simply takes an unexpected turn is actually designed to free you. And bust you out of anything stale or complacent.

There’s little doubt you’re ready to enter into a fresh dynamic. And open to exploration as to what this looks like. Once your ruler is direct again, you’ll be dipping in and out of fresh possibilities. And pushing that launch button on plans.

You have stand out dates for new beginnings and initiation. Take the lead and be the hero in your own life on the 10^th and the 12^th. There is no more waiting for ‘rescue’. You rescue yourself if that needs to happen. Your open-mindedness, willingness to learn from the past while simultaneously letting go of what you no longer need, sets you up to receive new beginnings across your money, self-worth and personal life. And can lead to a dramatic overhaul, reboot or renewal in more than one area.

Awaken to fresh possibilities, new beginnings and rebirth as Mars in your 5^th trines Pluto in your 9^th (10^th). The 12^th highlights your money, income, bank account and improvements, gains and windfalls as Venus and Jupiter meet in Cancer and your 2^nd house. If June’s ‘Luckiest Day of the Year’ – the Sun/Jupiter conjunction, left you feeling short-changed, then this meeting may more than make up for that. Explore new avenues to abundance. And also supercharge those goals. Both the material kind and the personal variety. Especially as Jupiter is your personal love planet. And Venus rules relationships. Very often what makes us feel truly rich is love not money. But take it you are in a position where you can attract both. Effortlessly.

Check your chart for any factors at 14 degrees. Of any house/sign. And you can allow a 2 degree orb either way. Especially if you have them in Cancer as many Geminis do. The fixed star Sirius is at 14 Cancer and is conjunct Venus and Jupiter. We associate Sirius will many of Jupiter’s qualities – fame, fortune, opportunity, elevation and luck. And don’t forget – Jupiter is your love planet so this isn’t just about money.

This day also brings a sequence of amazing aspects that light up the entire sky. There’s a Grand Air Trine which includes Uranus in your sign, Mars in your 5^th and Pluto in your 9^th pointing to a massive and sudden change in fortune or direction. Two high flying Kite aspects which again include Uranus and also ruler Mercury. And last but by no means least, an Envelope/Mystic Rectangle. Aspect names can often be translated literally. Think special envelopes like we see opened at awards ceremonies. The anticipation as it is opened and the name read out. ‘And the Oscar goes to . . .’. Chances are it’s your name the universe has chosen. So prepare for astounding news.

Get ready to embrace the New Normal. Because it’s extraordinary! Whatever that looks like for you. And it is yours to design and craft. And you will also bring your desire for something new and different and openness to creating this to bear on home, living arrangements, lifestyle and family matters from the 22^nd.

This isn’t mundane. This is extraordinary. Shifts to your lifestyle, residence or even your lifepath, offer up growth opportunities. If you are faced with a sudden move, don’t fear it. It is designed to place you where you can flourish and thrive. You may even be thinking of a major relocation. A tree change, a sea change, escaping to the country, moving to another town, area or even emigrating overseas.

There’s a feeling of rolling with the changes, or being willing to take a chance with the new Moon in your 4^th on the 23^rd. It squares Uranus in your 1^st promising a surprise or unconventional route away from what has you stagnant or stuck. The more you are open to moving – anything from an actual move of residence to simply changing up that furniture arrangement, the more energy you have to make other (necessary) changes now. If you want positive change, a simple hack to speed up the process under this new Moon/Uranus is to move to the beat. Pump up that playlist and dance as if no-one is watching, Gemini! Although this may sound a little wild and wacky, it works. And yes, nobody need see you unless you decide to stream it like Jimmy the Greek!

Venus moves into Leo and your 3^rd on the same day as ruler Mercury clears its post shade. You have a green light for plans and those ideas – so maybe streaming those moves isn’t such a bad idea after all! Applications, pitches, submissions, launches and updating that social media feed can happen. And you may take flirtation to Olympic levels now. Friends and groups will feature as Venus trines Saturn and Neptune in your social sector. And you have one more day of surprises and thunderstruck events on the 26^th when Venus angles to Uranus. It’s a day when you can break free and head out onto the open road of new possibilities. You can’t be defined by your past. And neither can your future.

In a nutshell: Rich isn’t just about money. It’s about feeling and experience. Your self-worth. You’ve more at your disposal than you imagine this month. Prepare for news and a change in fortune. Which as always, favours the brave.

CANCER

Venus. Be Venus.

Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise). Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

So, just what is manifestation, Cancer? It’s a combination of cosmic alchemy, quantum thinking, magic and your unique magnetic aura. Only you can attract what you do. Because your desires and your vibration are unique to you. Goals and dreams are highly personal. We all want different things. And what we want changes over time.

Your mission this August, should you choose to accept it, Cancer; is to embody beauty, creativity and attraction. In whatever way seems natural and effortless for you. And in doing so, charge up your capacity to magnetise and manifest your dreams. So, to reference the above movie quote – from fellow Cancerian Tom Cruise, in this particular scene from the film, the team all have planets as code names. And his advice to one member is to become Venus – her code name, in order to carry out her mission. And it’s your key to success with this month’s compelling meeting between Venus and Jupiter in your 1^st (12^th).

Impossible? Only if that’s your take on things. This is the first time Venus and Jupiter have met in your sign since 2002. Why so long? The last time Jupiter paid you a visit 12 years ago, Venus was retrograde in Capricorn and your 7^th. So, by the time it caught up, Jupiter was out of orb and had exited. If you were 18 or over in the early noughties, look back at the opportunities, options, solutions and fresh starts that were on offer. Especially those which you consciously set out to create for yourself. Did you embrace them when they appeared? If you have regrets around the road not taken, don’t dwell on the past. Instead meet this luck-laden and personal attraction cycle with the intention of saying yes to whatever is on offer. I can promise you that you won’t regret it if you do. And the magic of all this is, the more you say yes, this simply generates more to say yes to! That’s magnetism at work, Cancer.

Keep in mind Jupiter is exalted in your sign. Plus, you’ve an extra magnetic quality now thanks to fixed star Sirius. At 14 degrees Cancer. Exactly the same degree as the Venus/Jupiter conjunction. Do check your Cancer factors. You can allow a 1-2 degree orb either way. Sirius the dog star, is actually a binary system. And all Cancerians can double up on channelling opportunities their way as Sirius embodies all the qualities we usually associate with Jupiter – luck, good fortune, opportunity, fame, renown and success.

This all takes place against one of the most incredible cosmic backdrops we’ve seen in a very long time. This day sees a Grand Air Trine across your 4^th, 8^th and 12^th houses. Two high flying Kite aspects. And what is known as an Envelope/Mystic Rectangle. And here’s what boosts that ability to draw to you what you want, Cancer by simply embodying Venus. All the above aspects include your rulers of love and attraction! Love planet Saturn ruler of your 7^th. And Mars and Pluto joint rulers of Scorpio and your 5^th. What are you waiting for? Or what do you still doubt?!

Venus moves on into Leo and your 2^nd on the 25^th. We also have Mercury leaving retro-shade in the past in this house. It heads direct from the 11^th and exits post-shadow on the same day as Venus’s arrival. Which translates into you being able to push ahead with magnetising your money. And also having a plan around what to do with it when it appears.

Pay attention to career matters or anything that underpins your sense of security, status or feeling of safety. You may need to stand your ground around something with the full Moon in your 8^th (9^th). Boundaries may be called for. Or if you are asked to deliver on something, you need to know you can. Don’t allow self-doubt to defeat you! Mars in your 4^th (6^th), is about to show you who is ruling the roost. Or even what in some cases, Cancer. Are you bowing to other people’s needs or schedule? At the expense of your own? Or are you playing catch up all the time, feeling disorganised or adrift? Now is the ideal time to show your boss side. And yes, it may mean delegating or making others take responsibility. And ensuring you are accountable for your own wellbeing in the process!

With Uranus now in semi-permanent residence in your 12^th, you can prepare to develop a very different spin on things you have simply taken for granted. What was once acceptable, is no longer so. Especially as you come to see the impact it actually has on you.

Carry on being Venus once the Sun enters your 3^rd (22^nd). Now you have an opportunity to express this via words, ideas, images and plans. The new Moon (23^rd) is the perfect launch pad. And please don’t forget – stating your intentions magnetises them. So, even if you are not ready to share your plans and goals – at the very least write them down. But you will also discover that being upfront about what it is you want to achieve, adds that

Things are in circulation now. There are so many images you can latch on to which represent movement, flow and the key element – choices. More than one direction or option on offer. The most obvious one is of course the card of the Wheel of Fortune in the Tarot. There’s also a compass. And one which we may see everyday and because it is so familiar, ignore – a roundabout.

When we enter a roundabout we enter the flow of traffic around it. There are several exits off it. Just like in real life, in metaphysical terms we can see this as many roads leading to different destinations. And we have the option as to which one we take. So, the new Moon and final week of August offers this up. If you are contemplating more than one plan or direction now, it may help you to visualise yourself at the wheel of a car doing just that. Look for any signposts at the exits and where they point to. Imagine an exit for each choice or goal you have now. Which one do you feel drawn to take?

Making a decision shouldn’t be Mission:Impossible. If you are embodying Venus it should be easy. It should match your intention. Pay close attention to what or even who appears between the 26^th and the end of the month. This has been magnetised by your intentions. Magnetism is also defined as the ability to attract and charm. Be Venus, Cancer!

In a nutshell: It may not be your birthday – but it sure may feel like it is. The meeting between Venus, Jupiter and Sirius in your sign brings the perfect cosmic alignment under which to draw to you whatever it is you want. It’s not impossible, Cancer. Just be what you want to attract!

LEO

Know you are loved and guided

Follow your insight

Cupid could just go crazy!

You’ll continue your yearly glow-up right into September, Leo. The Sun leaves your sign on the 22^nd. Venus and Mercury remain with you however. And before Venus’s arrival, something you planted in the past, now bursts out into full bloom. Right when you may have written it off or thought it a lost cause.

Mercury heads direct on the 11^th but will take another two weeks to clear its post-shade. But the day after it changes direction, there’s a massive event in your 12^th house. A meeting between Venus and Jupiter in Cancer hasn’t happened since 2002. That is because last time Jupiter was in here, Venus was retrograde in Capricorn. By the time it caught up, Jupiter had moved on.

Venus encounters Jupiter on the 12^th. And this is when you may get to see that what’s meant for you won’t pass you by. Or alternatively, that sometimes good things take time. And when the time is right, everything falls into place for you. Hope, faith and taking a long term approach, pays off. And yes, Jupiter loves the last minute. The ‘Ta da!’. Star sent guidance, puts you in a position to receive. Don’t forget – you are ruled by a star. Unlike other signs which are ruled by planets or the moon. The Sun is a star. So, when a star is involved in a major alignment, it’s as if you were born hard-wired to take advantage of it. Which is what happens with the Venus/Jupiter conjunction as it falls conjunct fixed star Sirius in here.

Do check your chart for any Cancer factors at 14 degrees. Within a 1-2 degree orb. Because many Leos have them. If so, karma may be about to pay your forward for credit you have earned from your past. Not just this lifetime either. All Leos are being divinely guided and blessed now. Whatever you do – do NOT ignore those intuitive nudges or ideas. That is how you are being guided onto the right path.

There’s also revelatory Uranus now in semi-permanent residence in Gemini and your house of goals. It forms a Grand Air Trine with Mars in your 3^rd, Pluto in your 7^th. Look to who appears and also accept all invitations. This can also lead you to see the unexplored potential that still resides in something you began a while ago. And you reclaim it like buried treasure!

We also have two high flying Kite aspects, and an aspect known as an Envelope/Mystic Rectangle form on this day. Again, these include Crazy Cupid love planet Uranus. Often aspect names can be translated literally. Think special envelopes like we see opened at awards ceremonies like the Oscars. Your name is read out. Or could be on someone’s lips. Telling you that you have got the result you wanted. Or just how much they care.

This month’s full Moon is in Aquarius (9^th) and your 7^th house. It could be time to take a walk on the wild side with your other half if things have become a little bland lately. Yes, it’s a fabulous night under which to initiate something. And that includes date night for singles. Mars is now in your 3^rd house (6^th), and hands you sass, fire and a touch of spice if flirting. And this will also see you with the confidence to propel those ideas you’ve been hothousing during the Mercury retro, forward.

Travel or invitations could appear. Especially around the 10^th and 27^th. What you are being asked now is to consciously resist staying stagnant. In your thoughts and beliefs, ideas, path in life and in your relationships. To choose growth and variety. So, be prepared to say yes. To be open to exploration, inquisitiveness, wonder and experimentation. This is all part of your cycle of new beginnings. Your sign rules the heart. Open yours, Leo. Even after your ruler leaves you for your 2^nd house on the 22^nd.

Expect some assessment to occur around which friendships offer the return on your investment with the new Moon in here. This isn’t just about a fresh start with your cash, Leo. Your generosity and capacity for giving is legendary. And when it comes to giving those intangibles – time, money, talent, love and the capacity to listen – you are all in. But you may see that one connection now doesn’t add up. In terms of what you give vs. the take out you get in return. And if this is your assessment, it’s okay to begin this cycle by cashing in. New financial goals can be set. And now Mercury is direct you can set plans in motion.

Venus’ arrival (25^th) sees it trine Saturn and Neptune in your 9^th and oppose Pluto in your 7^th. This is when opportunities, offers and invitations which open up fresh possibilities and experiences for you, appear. Look to the 26^th especially when Venus’ angle to Uranus could set your future on a new path. And the following day which literally could transform your existing state to something deeper and more profound. Especially around partnerships. It’s a chance to go in an entirely fresh direction. If you’re open, Leo.

In a nutshell: Karma always keeps an account. And pays it forward. If you are in credit, that comes with interest this month. Your intuition is often how destiny speaks. So don’t ignore it. The follow through reveals the reward, Leo.

VIRGO

Goals come within reach

That feeling of achievement? Priceless

Happy birthday, Virgo!

Take a well earned break in the lead-up to your new cycle. Ruler Mercury retrograde in your 12^th makes this easy. Or should do. Sometimes we need that alone time to simply reboot and reconnect to who we really are. The demands of everyday living and even those we love can leave us stretched, disconnected from our source or strangely dissatisfied. When we feel we have nothing to be dissatisfied with.

This takes real presence and a commitment to self-care, Virgo. To switch off from busyness. To stop the scroll, the checking of that screen, the inability to simply sit, be and do absolutely nothing. Then there’s the guilts around ‘Me’ time. If we love people, it follows we should always be happy to be around them, doesn’t it? In fact studies have shown relationships thrive when there is ‘conscious me time’ undertaken by both parties on occasion. So, right up until Mercury heads direct (11^th), be unafraid to go do your thing. All by yourself if necessary. And yes, this is a habit you can maintain.

Pay close attention to what you need to do to recharge and reclaim your essence with the full Moon in your 6^th (9^th) Unplug, go for a walk in nature, even sleep if that is what your body is telling you to do. Attend a yoga or meditation class. Get a massage. Or you may just go to a coffee shop and journal and people watch. Whatever supports you and also provides you with that perspective. And keep in mind that if you are not happy in your own company – how do you expect anyone else to be?

Be aware that next month we enter eclipse season. Again. Across your 1st/7th houses with eclipses across the Nodal Axis. It’s therefore important to gain clarity around relationships. And feel settled in yourself before looking for outer love and validation from others.

Mars leaves your sign on the 6^th. In Libra and your 2^nd this is about balancing the books. Not just around your cash flow but your whole life accounts. Time, love, talents. But know until your ruler is direct, this is the adding up and accounting phase. Wait until Mercury is free of retro-shade if you possibly can (25^th), before putting those plans to increase your income in motion if you possibly can. But you now have more than enough confidence and impetus to do this.

The much-hyped ‘Luckiest Day of the Year’ took place in June when the Sun met Jupiter in Cancer and your house of friends, groups and goals. If you’ve read your Lucky Jupiter in Cancer forecast for your sign, you know that I advised you to make three wishes when Jupiter landed in your 11^th. And to expect at least one of these to manifest during its 12 month stay in here. But that you need to do whatever you can to make it happen.

Bring that magic on the 12^th when we have a second ‘Lucky Day’ happening. This has Venus in Cancer intertwine with Jupiter. A magical infusion of luck, synchronicity and manifestation. With an epiphany thrown in for good measure! Clarity and focus see you either grasping an opportunity. Or taking the steps to self-create one. You are fuelled by a vision and compelled to follow through on it. That vision may be far away, like a star. But you are determined and heading straight for it. All thanks to this meeting between Venus and Jupiter falling conjunct the fixed star Sirius.

Check your own chart for factors at 14 degrees. Within a 1-2 degree orb of any house/sign. But especially Cancer. At 14 Cancer, Sirius the dog star is actually a binary system. But it is associated with all of Jupiter’s qualities: good luck, fame, fortune, opportunity and progress. So, a conjunction with Jupiter simply sends this supernova! This could be especially good for career, family or property matters as Jupiter rules Sagittarius and your house of home, stability and long term plans.

The day also brings a series of star studded aspects. A Grand Air Trine between Uranus in your 10^th, Mars in your 2^nd and Pluto in your 6^th could offer up work recognition and rewards. There’s also two high flying Kite aspects. Again, these include these planets. And another aspect known as an Envelope/Mystic Rectangle. The latter involves ruler Mercury now direct in your 12^th. Which could bring you the news or results you have been waiting for or working towards. Many aspect names can be translated literally. Think special envelopes like we see opened at awards ceremonies. ‘And the Oscar goes to . . .’. And it’s your name that’s read out. This can feel like a success story, Virgo. And hand you that priceless feeling of recognition.

Your enthusiasm for what it is you are doing or pursuing is contagious, Virgo. Do share what you want, are about to crush or set out to do with others. As this aspect can bring in key individuals who can aid you. And it’s that excitement which gets others on board. In other words – it’s cool to be uncool about it! Especially if you are seeking to get hired, nominated, gain followers or even win that heart!

With the Sun in your sign (22^nd), it truly is time to initiate and make your move. And make it a fierce, bold and signature one, Virgo. You now have the backing when it comes to your ambitions, role and goals, of Uranus in your 10^th house of status and success. And with the new Moon (23^rd) crackling with intention as it angles to Uranus, it’s time to truly own your path and purpose.

Dharma, karma chameleon! You are the sign of Dharma above all others. You need your North Star or to align with the reason you are here to truly feel alive and thrive! And this has to be self-designated and highly personal to you. Nobody does it quite like you. And as the old James Bond theme song reminds us: Nobody does it better. Especially when it is what you are designed for.

Alone time and real self care are acts which allow our path to unfold before us. That is why it is so important for you, Virgo. Now, with the new Moon reset this. Whether this means recommitting for the long haul. Or a pivot in a fresh direction for you. But above all, bring your unique dharmic perspective to this.

Momentum carries you forward in the final week of the month. You will mine your past for clues and lessons around what works and what doesn’t. But release yourself from what no longer serves you. Let go of ideas around who you should follow or emulate – unless they truly are shining lights in their chosen field and beacons of inspiration, Virgo. It’s your dharma. And nobody can live it or be it, like you.

In a nutshell: Mighty cosmic aspects kick-start your new cycle as goals and dreams crystallise and come within reach, Virgo. Realign with your path and purpose. There’s glittering prizes awaiting those on the right path this birthday season!

LIBRA

You won’t wait for things to happen – you make them!

Gain an Access All Areas pass from the cosmos

Prepare for freedom

Mars lands in your sign on Aug 6. Mars rules Aries and your 7^th house. And also co-rules Scorpio and your money zone. Being Venus ruled you understand that love and money are two sides of the same coin. Chances are, you are off in hot pursuit of one or both this month!

You won’t be content to just wait around for things to happen. There may have been a delay around goals and plans due to Mercury retrograde in your 11^th. But it heads direct from the 11^th and out of shadow on the 25^th – the same day as ruler Venus lands in this house. Plugging you back into the social and goal getting circuit once again. First however, a lucky lunation and an even luckier Venus move could see you ready to gain in some way. Possibly via what you attract simply by going after what you want. And yes, money, assets, income, investments, borrowing and access to whatever resources you require, have a huge role to play in this! As could you just bringing sexy back, Libra!

You’ve got the power as ruler Venus and Jupiter meet in your 8^th on the 12^th. This is the first time since 2002 that both planets have entwined in this sector of your chart. Although Jupiter visits here every 12 years, the last time it was transitting Cancer, Venus was retrograde in Capricorn and your 4^th. By the time Venus headed direct and caught up – Jupiter had left. If you were 18 or over back then, do look back at what you gained access to. Or an opportunity you were given which turned out to be game-changing for you. This could even relate to your spouse or partner as this is your house of joint/marital assets. But it is also your house which rules your salary, payouts, mortgages, shares, investments and booms. And yes, the boom boom room, Libra!

This Venus/Jupiter meeting unlocks the vault. And turns you into a powerhouse when it comes to outcomes and gaining what you need. Plus certainty and control replace indecision and feeling powerless, Libra. That’s your certain take-out from this now. If the much-hyped ‘Luckiest Day of the Year’ – the Sun/Jupiter conjunction of June, left you feeling short-changed, this one may hand you what’s been missing.

The secret to this is Venus and Jupiter’s alignment to the fixed star Sirius in here at 14 Cancer. Do check your chart for any natal factors at 14 degrees of any sign/house. You can allow an orb of 1-2 degrees either way. You’ll receive an extra boost to bring about the transformations you desire or even deserve now. Sirius the dog star, is actually a binary system. But it has long been linked to all the qualities we associate with Jupiter – luck, fame, good fortune, ascension, rewards and renown. So, it will inflame Jupiter’s ability to send this your way. And this is your ‘other’ money house and Venus rules your bank account as well as your love life! The vault doors could swing open wide. It’s an Access All Areas pass to whatever resources you need or have been lacking.

We also have a Grand Air Trine forming on this date. Between love planet Mars in your sign, Pluto in your 5^th and Uranus in your 9^th. This is about what frees your soul as well as what may feed your bank account, Libra. There are also three other aspects stretching across the heavens. Two Kites and an aspect known as an Envelope/Mystic Rectangle. Often aspect names can be translated literally. Think special envelopes like we see opened at awards ceremonies. ‘And the Oscar goes to . . .’. So, you may be the recipient of good news, your application or request is accepted, or you find yourself making headlines in some way! Whatever appears, it brings with it freedom.

Mercury remains in orb of Mars in your sign throughout the 15^th – 18^th. This is because Mercury is going over old ground and is presently speeding up. You can use this energy to reboot certain goals. And update your social life as needed. The Sun brings your annual deep dive as it enters Virgo on the 22^nd. And the new Moon in here impacts on Uranus now in semi-permanent residence in your 9^th house. Freedom from what holds you back or confines you is in order. But guess what? It’s not what you think, Libra!

Either in terms of what you think the issue may be. Or what the solution is. Your 12^th is the house of hidden truths and secrets. Uranus brings the wake-up call. Or the revelation. It’s the bolt from the blue, the thunderstruck moment when you see things exactly how they are. Or the change you didn’t see coming. That turns into a blessing in disguise.

Angles between ruler Venus and Saturn and Neptune in your 7^th, Uranus in your 9^th and the all-powerful opposition between it and Pluto in your 5^th could just mean love or something you love, is the change that you have not only been waiting for. But needed to happen. And yes, the one thing you can expect with unexpected Uranus is – that change will happen around love, money – or both this August.

In a nutshell: Ruler Venus’ alignment with Jupiter and the star Sirius in your house of assets, resources and self-empowerment ushers in what you need or have been missing to bring about a key change in your circumstances, Libra. The real take-out isn’t just money. It’s freedom.

SCORPIO

Look beyond the obvious

Take it you’re ready

Destination: The stars!

Old ruler Mars arrives in your 12^th (6^th). And it’s time to tie up loose ends and attend to unfinished business, Scorpio. Get it all done before Mercury heads direct again in your 10^th (11^th). And finally flies free of retroshade in your success sector on the 25^th. You will be able to clearly identify any obstacles to progress that remain in your path. And either demolish them or find a way around them.

You will also be alerted to what no longer works or which in fact, does you no good at all. Those energy drains or vampires. That ‘off’ or ick vibe that always leaves you depleted. There’s a bigger picture emerging from this. And that is how it doesn’t just impact the obvious areas of your life. But has a negative effect on seemingly unrelated ones. Nothing exists in isolation. And you will also see that efforts to compartmentalise have no effect at all on this. The only way forward is to deal with it. And if this involves letting go or moving away from it – you will take steps to make this happen. Do look at the bigger picture surrounding this as the full Moon appears in your house of home truths, security, comfort and what underpins you. And yes, with Uranus now in semi-permanent residence in your 6^th house – what is undermining you too.

As with everything in your life, you have to truly feel it. You don’t do so-so or superficial. And if you have been lured into opting for this – perhaps due to others eroding your beliefs around your own abilities or making you question your choices (see above!), then you will also see the impact their influence and negativity has had on other areas. You need to be all in. And it’s YOUR opinion that counts, Scorpio. So, don’t go for the flatline choice. Go for the jump start instead!

Love planet Venus will spend the majority of the month in Cancer and your 9^th house. The 12^th sees it entangle with the planet of luck and expansion – Jupiter. This hasn’t happened in this sector of your chart since 2002! There’s a saying: It took me 12 years to become an overnight sensation. That’s a Jupiter cycle. It can bring us the big break, the offer we can’t refuse, the change in our fortunes. And in this case, it may have been longer than 12 years in the making! Opportunities to the max surround you. Travel may feature. As could people and opportunities linked to overseas. Do be aware that it’s a bit like the old joke around winning the lottery however. You have to buy a ticket! Or in the case of this transit, be willing to take a chance and set something in motion. Don’t let it pass you by.

It’s not just the fact that the meeting between these two planets hasn’t taken place in over two decades which makes it so unusual. It’s because the meeting takes place conjunct the fixed star Sirius in here. At 14 degrees Cancer. First, check your chart for factors at 14 degrees of your sign. Within a 1-2 degree orb. If you have them, this conjunction trines them. Offering up extra solutions and potential. Second – Sirius – actually a binary system, boldly embodies all the qualities we associate with Jupiter. Namely opportunity, luck, fame, good fortune, freedom and expansion. So, increase those expectations, Scorpio. This isn’t just wishful thinking.

All this occurs against an amazing sky lit with unusual and star struck aspects. First – there’s a Grand Air Trine involving both your rulers – Mars in your 12^th, Pluto in your 4^th and Uranus in your 8^th. Two high flying Kites – again, both contain your rulers. And another elemental formation known as an Envelope/Mystic Rectangle. Again, this contains both rulers. Often aspect names can be translated literally. Think special envelopes like we see opened at awards ceremonies. ‘The Oscar goes to . . .’ for instance. Good news around your role or a goal could be what this envelope contains. And yes, you worked for it and deserve it, Phoenix! But take it like those Kites – you are on the rise! But with the conjunction in your 9^th, take it there are no limits when it comes to where you can go now.

Clarity of direction or intention is gifted to you thanks to a three day conversation happening between Mars and Mercury now direct in your 10^th across the 15th-18th. Due to Mercury regaining momentum, it gives you a window through which to gain perspective and to see something very clearly. It can also hand you insight or intuition that is channelled from a higher power. Do keep a look out for ‘coincidences’ which are anything but, signs and portents, and pay close attention to your dreams. These are lodestones of truth which show you that you are now heading in the right direction.

Goals crystallise as the Sun moves into your 11^th (22^nd), and the new Moon appears in here the following day. There may be an almost immediate shift in your social circle as a result. Expect exits and dramatic entrances. Unusual, charismatic and compelling individuals may cross your path. It’s certainly a good time to show your social life some TLC if you have been otherwise occupied of late.

Venus crosses into your 10^th the day Mercury throws off its shade (25^th). Push ahead with your career plans or personal ambitions. The final week of the month is also a good time to look at your image and ask if it’s giving off the right message? If you want to step up into a role, like an actor, you need to look the part. It’s not simply about ‘dressing for success’. Actors get into costume because it helps them become the character they are playing. So, adopting the look that says you have already arrived or belong, is key to you feeling it. And if you feel it, you ARE already it. So, back to what I was saying earlier, as Venus opposes your modern ruler Pluto in your 4^th on the 27^th – don’t live down to the low expectations of others.

And being ‘ready’ isn’t a matter of someone telling you that you are. It’s a decision you make, Scorpio. Ready or not – here you come this August!

In a nutshell: The 12^th could bring you the moment you’ve been waiting for. Release yourself into something bigger. And adopt a No Limits mindset. No more planning or thinking, Scorpio. It’s time to act and go after that dream.

SAGITTARIUS

All the stars are coming out tonight
They’re lighting up the sky tonight
For you, for you

Take That. Rule the World

Did June’s ‘Luckiest Day of the Year’ meet your expectations, Sag? That was when the Sun met ruler Jupiter in Cancer and your powerhouse 8^th. Perhaps you are one of the lucky ones who experienced a profound transformation in a key area of life that left you feeling both blessed and astonished at your good fortune both at the same time. Or maybe all you felt was the sense that the hype exceeded the actual take-out?

August could just see reality exceed expectation this time around. Yes, we have another astoundingly ‘lucky’ day involving ruler Jupiter on the 12^th. This is when Jupiter and Venus conjoin at 14^o Cancer. An event which has not occurred since 2002. This is rare and exciting enough. And could bring in a major win, opportunity or transformation for all Sagittarians. Whether they have factors within 0-2 degrees of that conjunction or not.

But like they say in the Infomercials – there’s more! Jupiter always over-delivers. This super-prime conjunction is all entangled with the fixed star Sirius at 14 Cancer. And the dog star (stars in actual fact as its a binary system), is associated with the same qualities as Jupiter. Expansion, fame, opportunity, luck. So, Sirius adds that extra star bright infusion. But you know how the informericals go – order in the next 5 mins, or to that effect. And you get even more as this event coincides with a stellar backdrop of two high-flying kites which include Uranus now in Gemini and your 7^th house. And another aspect with is a Mystic Rectangle and an Envelope. With a clear result or message for you.

Whatever this is – it is unbound and limitless in its potential. Kites fly. Envelopes contain news. Don’t think bills, Sag! Think awards envelopes and wins! As with all transits involving Jupiter, they can often manifest in person. And the kites and envelope involve planets in your 7^th of partnerships and 5^th of romance and attraction. Look out for someone who is smart, savvy yet grounded. Possibly successful, prosperous and highly focussed. They got class no matter what, Sag. And what’s more – they deliver on what they promise. This may or may not be a romantic interest. But if the transits manifest as a person, take it they usher in benefits for you.

Between now and the autumn equinox in September, good things will appear or come to fruition. Mars begins its journey through Libra and your 11^th (6^th). Plus you now have Mercury direct in Leo (11^th). Get playful with those goals. Engage in the process of manifestation with an open mind. And above all, lean into sublime enjoyment as you do. This activates all the potential around you. Once Venus enters your 9^th (25^th), good friends, good times, travel and whatever makes your heart beat faster, take you on into September. And yes, if lack of resources has been the stumbling block to this, you may now see exactly what you need land in your lap.

Being ready to go further, put yourself back into circulation is the key to making the most of August’s unique dynamic for you. Lean in to your soul power. Know you are capable of achieving, having or attaining far more. And as the Sun crosses into Virgo and your 10^th (22^nd) – do not underestimate your own abilities.

The new Moon in here (23^rd) triggers Uranus in your 7^th. Who are you In Sync with, sag? Or could potentially be? This is about the status of a relationship as much as it is about your roles and career goals. A key alliance, the power couple or the strategic partnership where both parties pool their considerable resources and the sum of the whole is greater than that of the two parts. Refer back to the kind of person the Venus/Jupiter meeting could draw into your orbit. And you’ll see how they tick all those boxes.

The other lunation this month is the full Moon in Aquarius and your 3^rd house. A particular project or plan could need your input. Or an answer now. This moon appears on the 9^th – two days before Mercury powers ahead again. You’re ready to forge ahead. And also for something more mentally stimulating now. The usual retro rules will still apply if travelling however. So, don’t discard them just yet.

The month ends with another series of supportive transits when it comes to those big goals and dreams, romance, fame and fortune. You are in the position to make something very real now. Venus trines both Saturn and Neptune in your 5^th and sextiles Uranus in your 7^th. While Uranus catches Neptune by surprise on the 29^th. The key Venus/Pluto opposition on the 27^th is your cue to either act. Or be ready to receive. Don’t forget, Sag – the stars are shining for you. But you need to stand arms wide open to embrace what they send your way!

In a nutshell: Are you Sirius?! Once in a rare moment, the stars align in our favour. And the Wheel of Fortune turns in our direction. The 12^th is one such day for you, Sag. When ruler Jupiter meets Venus and the star Sirius in Cancer. You can expect serious results.

CAPRICORN

Relate to yourself and the world around you in a new way

Take on a new role

Love is written in the stars

You are in a partnership phase like no other, Capricorn. If it takes two – in any form as in duos, duets and double acts of all descriptions, then August offers up multiple Me + You combinations.

You have not seen a 7^th house transit like this one for a very long time. Since 2002 to be precise. The last time Jupiter was in Cancer and your 7^th house was 12 years ago. Back then, Venus was retrograde in your sign. What this added up to was that by the time Venus finished its retrograde, gained back its beautiful momentum and reached Cancer, Jupiter had left the building! So it has been over two decades since the planet of love and the planet of opportunity and expansion, met in here.

Just what relationship are you in, Cappy? And is it the right one? This transcends your status – single, married, settled, alone. Or human bonds. This is as much about your relationship with yourself and the universe as it is about other people. In fact, working on your partnership with yourself and the cosmos is always the key to better relationships with other souls. Yes, this could be the most love-struck and lucky day of the year for anyone single or on the look out for their next partner-in-crime or collaborator. But it all begins within. And yes, if you are seeking either new love or to improve your current relationship, work on the one with yourself and the one you have with the universe at the same time.

Written in the stars? That too. This all takes place against a backdrop of Milky Way type grandeur. Cosmic alignments on the day of the Venus/Jupiter alignment see both planets conjunct fixed star Sirius in Cancer. Sirius the dog star is actually a binary star. The brightest star in the sky is associated with all the qualities we ascribe to Jupiter – luck, good fortune, blessings, renown, fame. Maxxing Jupiter’s vibe.

Then there’s a Grand Air Trine, two high-flying Kites and an Envelope/Mystic Rectangle stretching across the heavens. The double Kite and Envelope/Mystic Rectangle include ruler Saturn. In aspect to Pluto and Mars now in your 10^th. Rewards are on offer when it comes to your goals – both professional and personal. And many of you could be stepping into a new role which changes up your status.

There’s a sense of release and expansion blowing through your chart this month, Capricorn. Mercury ends its retrograde in Leo and your sector of change (11^th). And if free of retroshade on the 25^th. Venus moves into your 8^th the same day. And something could cement and go deeper at this point. But at the same time mark a key stage between restriction and release for you.

This month Luna is focussed on your money and then on expansion and exploration. The 9^th sees a full Moon in your 2^nd. When Luna brings you an opportunity to change up your emotions around money. And also just how you believe you should be treated. Either by others or the world in general. Innovative ways to make, invest or budget could be on offer.

The 23^rd brings a new Moon in Virgo and your 9^th house. This is an early new Moon which appears the day after the Sun’s arrival in here. It marks the start of a new learning journey for you. Either actual as in you may be travelling – or life experiences/learning on the job/studying. You will be stepping into something powerfully soul shifting across the next couple of weeks. Go wherever it takes you. And with confidence Capricorn. This is your house of big loves and goals. And it may even relate to your relationship with the universe that I talked about earlier. Just as easily as it could an individual. The universe may work in partnership with you. Handing you something which shows you are loved and treasured.

Last but by no means least, Venus now in your 8^th brings beautiful changes, and shows you that whatever is on offer for you is in fact, the real deal. Look to the 26^th to say yes, I do or grasp that prize.

In a nutshell: The 12^th could just be the most loved up day of the year as Venus and Jupiter meet the star Sirius in Cancer and your 7^th. They say love is written in the stars. And love actually, is all around you this August.

AQUARIUS

No more stagnation – just action

Reality doesn’t bite – it rules

Electrify that love!

Mars in your 9^th (6^th), along with this month’s full Moon in your 1^st (9^th), serve as a call to action for you. Illuminating just where you may have become stagnant or stuck. And handing you the impetus to do something about it. With ruler Uranus now in semi-permanent residence in your 5^th of joy, love and luck, and Mercury about to clear retrograde in your 7^th (11^th), you won’t be sitting around waiting for things to happen. You will be doing whatever it takes to make them happen.

The 8^th – 9^th will also bring a reality check or point of no return as Mars trines Uranus and opposes your old ruler Saturn in Aries and your 3^rd. What do we say about the old rules? They still apply. And Saturn itself is strictly old school. With both rulers impacted, you’ll make a key decision based on the information to hand. Cut away or release what is no longer relevant. And then move forward.

Seismic shifts and lucky breaks around your day job (paid or unpaid), studies, staff if you employ them, fitness, wellness, pets and projects can see you energised, elevated and moving in a healthier and possibly even wealthier, direction this month. June brought us what was hyped by many astrologers as ‘The Luckiest Day of the Year’. When the Sun met Jupiter in Cancer and your 6^th house. Yes, for many this date delivered. Others however, may have been left feelings underwhelmed. Or that the hype far exceeded the actual deliverables.

The good news this August is we have an even more ‘Lucky’ day. The 12^th sees Venus and Jupiter align in Cancer and your 7^th. Against one of the most positive and affirming cosmic backdrops we’ve seen for quite some time.

First up – it’s been over two decades since Venus and Jupiter met in this sector of your chart. The last time was 2002. And although Jupiter has been in Cancer since then, the last time it was in here, Venus was retrograde in Capricorn and your 12^th. By the time Venus headed direct and got to Cancer – Jupiter had moved on. If you were 18 or over back in 2002, please do cast your mind back to what was on offer for you back then. And this time you can expect even bigger benefits to come your way.

The reason for this is that this conjunction which takes place at 14^o Cancer, is conjunct the fixed star Sirius. Sirius (actually a binary star system), is a star associated with all the benefits we ascribe to Jupiter. Namely luck, fame, fortune, success. So, it super maxes Jupiter’s positivity. Do check your chart for any natal factors at 14 degrees of any house/sign. If you have them, this can also usher in positive changes and benefits around what that house rules for you.

Lastly – the conjunction takes place against a glowing backdrop of rare planetary alignments. All of which include your rulers. Saturn and Uranus. We have a Grand Air Trine electrifying ruler Uranus in your 3^rd, Mars in your 9^th and Pluto in your sign. Two high flying Kites containing both Saturn, Uranus and Pluto. And an aspect called an Envelope/Mystic Rectangle. This also includes Uranus and Saturn as well as again, Pluto in your 1^st.

Aspect names can be translated literally. Think special envelopes like we see opened at awards ceremonies like the Oscars. And your name being read out. You may receive good news. Or what’s sealed in that envelope is that cutting edge idea, project or plan you’ve been working on. In which case, now is the time to launch it. And no, you don’t have to wait until Mercury clears retroshadow.

Others may benefit from discovering new and better ways to use their resources, feeling they are part of a team when it comes to getting things done, and tapping into unflappable courage when it comes to the path they have chosen. You come out of a period of restriction, and move forward with trail blazing confidence!

The 22^nd puts you in touch with all the power within you as the Sun crosses into Virgo and your 8^th. This is about to be reflected in changes to your circumstances. And also although you may not expect it, outer transformation as well. There’s a fluidity to your actions with the new Moon square ruler Uranus on the 23^rd. You know in your heart of hearts that rigidity – in thinking especially, simply holds you back. It blocks love, progress, evolution and yes, attraction and access to resources. A profound shift in your thinking may be triggered by this new Moon. But also be warned, you will no longer be willing to put up with anyone who isn’t willing to be open to change.

Mercury retro in your 7^th may have had you mulling over what you do or don’t want from love. And by the time it flies retro-free (25^th), it is joined by Venus. You’re moving forward with clarity from this point. And if there is anything that still needs discussing with your other half – you’ll start that conversation without fear or hesitation. You are actively seeking understanding. And if you are now setting off in search of someone new, you’ll not only have a better understanding of what you need, but also know what to ask in order to find out if the other party fits the bill! Certainly time wasting is behind you at this point. Both in terms of you not wasting anyone else’s and no longer willing to wait while someone wastes yours. But that’s just Pluto power at work on the 27^th when newly arrived Venus in your 7^th opposes Pluto.

Any new relationship which begins now – no matter what form it takes, has long term potential. All thanks to Venus’s angles to old ruler Saturn and Uranus (26^th), and Uranus to Neptune on the 29^th. Did I forget to mention that all this hands you what I can only call the ‘It’ factor, Aquarius. You have it across both work and your personal life. Werk it, baby! You’ll love the results.

In a nutshell: You’ll escape stasis and stagnation this month thanks to aspects which transform the mundane into the miraculous. Ruler Uranus combines with Pluto and Venus to bring you something more lasting when it comes to real connection.

PISCES

Hey now, hey now –

Don’t dream it’s over

Crowded House. Don’t Dream It’s Over

Hold those dreams this August. And whatever you do – don’t dream it’s over. What occurs this month may on occasion, test your faith. But by the end of it you will emerge with the dream shining, intact and quite possibly, miraculously, in the palm of your hand.

Next month will see us back in eclipse season. With eclipses across the nodal axis. In other words in your sign and your opposite sign of Virgo. This month brings you attraction, luck and also clear thinking. We know eclipses play hide and seek with hearts and facts. So, do make the most of August!

While we are on the subject of secrets, there’s a great unveiling happening at the start of the month. And yes, it may also test your belief and also endurance when it comes to a key wish, goal or dream. But if the latter occurs, it is just the universe asking you how much you actually do want it, Pisces. You have a full Moon in Aquarius and your house of hidden truths, insights and spirituality on the 8^th. And combined with Venus in your 5^th making positive angles to both Saturn and your ruler Neptune in your 2^nd at the very start of the month, this all points to you being very aware that not only is your intuition spot on, but that you should not ignore its guidance. Especially around what it is you dream of having, doing and experiencing.

There’s also a recognition of who or what either erodes your dream or else supports your quest to attain it. Especially if someone has been undermining your confidence. Or gas lighting you into believing what you feel is wrong. Do set this to rights ahead of eclipse season. And also what’s waiting for you mid-month, Pisces. As it’s too rare and special to allow anyone or anything to get in its way.

You can thank your lucky stars – quite literally on the 12^th. This is your magic day of 2025. When the stars and synchronicity align. Especially in the pursuit of having and holding that dream. Greet the dawn on this date with the open-hearted expectation of a child. Feel wonder and expectation. Because it is these emotions which will active the incredible cosmic alignments taking place across the sky. But centered in your house of attraction, love, pleasure, luck, children and creative self-expression.

This is when you know the dream isn’t over. You are entering it. Seduction – people, ideas, plans and even places, capture your soul. All the world loves a lover, Pisces. And that’s you now.

First – check your chart for any natal factors in any house/sign at 14 degrees. Within a 1-2 degree orb. But especially in your own sign. If you have them, the Venus/Jupiter conjunction on the 12^th will trine them. Bringing you even more magic and luck.

How was the ‘Luckiest Day of the Year’ – the June meeting between the Sun and old ruler Jupiter in Cancer, for you? Did it hand you what you hoped for? Or leave you lacking? If it was the latter this next conjunction may exceed your previous expectations. It’s been over two decades since Venus and Jupiter last met in this sector of your chart. The last time was 2002. And although Jupiter has been in Cancer since then, the last time it was in here, Venus was retrograde in Capricorn and your 11^th. By the time Venus headed direct and got to Cancer – Jupiter had moved on. If you were 18 or over back in 2002, look to what happened back then. Did children feature? Did you meet someone special? Or enjoy a breakthrough around what you do? Did you take a bucket list trip? Or simply feel like a winner in some way? Cast your mind back to what opportunities appeared then. And be ready to embrace even bigger ones this time around.

Yes, this is your house of romance and lovers. And yes, if you are single and seeking, this can bring in someone special. But no matter what your relationship status, this is about a life to fall in love with. Your ancient ruler is associated with opportunity, fame, fortune, expansion and renown. All qualities it shares with the fixed star Sirius. Which is at 14 Cancer. The stars are literally aligned. And Jupiter’s ability to bring you blessings, wins and solutions, along with Venus’ focus on pleasure and love, is enhanced.

This all takes place against a series of major cosmic alignments forming on this day. We have a Grand Air Trine between Uranus in your 4^th, Mars in your 8^th and Pluto in your 12^th. Two high-flying kites. And another aspect known as an Envelope/Mystic Rectangle. Some aspect names tell us exactly what to expect. Kites fly high and soar. When it comes to envelopes – think awards ceremonies. The name being announced. ‘And the Oscar goes to . . .’. News features your name. Step up and claim your prize!

The 22^nd sees the Sun leave your work sector and enter Virgo and your 7^th. You are now in your yearly togetherness peak. And a loved up new Moon appears in your partnership sector on the 23^rd. Promising new beginnings in existing relationships, or a brand new one. In work and friendship as well as love. Especially as your love planet Mercury will escape the final threads of retroshade on the 25^th. You will have an extra long partnership peak this year. Due to Mercury’s retrograde and it reaching your 7^th next month and Venus also entering Virgo in September.

Venus lands in your 6^th from the 25^th. Enhancing anything to do with job seeking, work and wellbeing. It’s superb angles to Saturn and ruler Neptune in your 2^nd could bring in rewards or just that soul boost from praise or knowing someone has your back. An unlooked for opportunity could come spinning out of the stars on the 29^th. It could be connected to that dream. Told you it wasn’t over, Pisces. Hold on to it. The wonder it inspires is the greatest asset and the biggest resource you have now.

In a nutshell: Hey now, how’s your belief around those dreams, Pisces? Have you begun to believe they’re not possible? Don’t buy into the lack of faith sown by the limitations of others. A rare alignment in Cancer and your house of love, attraction and joy shows you anything is possible.
