August 2025 Astrology

HELLO AUGUST! 🌞

August is the calm before eclipse season in September. Overall, it is an easy-going month with mostly harmonious aspects. Two words come to mind: ENJOY YOURSELF!

When was the last time you allowed yourself to have fun? To let go of seriousness and let your inner child play? The first half of the month invites us to tap into enjoyment ('in-joy'), creativity and pleasure.

This invitation might seem controversial when the world is so heavy. Yet, your joy is an act of resistance against agendas that want you trapped in a constant state of fear and uncertainty. So don't hold back. You deserve to live joyfully and to experience happiness. Your unique colours are needed on the canvas of life. The outside world shouldn't dictate your feelings.

The dominant elements this month are Fire and Air. Events are moving fast, and time even faster. August is a great month to manifest, meet new people, make progress and get things done, especially after Mercury turns direct on the 11th.

The most auspicious aspect this month is Venus conjunct Jupiter at 14° of Cancer on the 13th, also conjunct the star Sirius, our spiritual sun. When the benefics come together, it's a time to count our blessings and wish hard. With Sirius, a galactic element is at play, so wish big. In the sign of Cancer, the themes of family, home, property, belonging, fertility, nurture, and emotional healing and well-being will greatly benefit from this positive and harmonious influence. Look at the house where 14° of Cancer falls in your chart for more accurate themes.

On the 23rd, Virgo season starts with a new moon. The element of Earth makes a comeback, which brings grounding, dedication and focus after the Leo revelry. Virgo is the sign of the harvest: now we get to reap the fruit of our labour and see the concrete results of our efforts. A great time to get things done while still enjoying the last chapter of summer before the busyness of September kicks in.

What are your plans this August? What are you calling in? 💫

With love,

Alexandra 💜
