Go to:
The Sun moves through Leo and encourages consciously led initiatives (on the 7th)! This fiery sign intensifies the creative radiance of the day star, which enters Virgo from the 23rd! It’s a time for reflection, careful analysis of ongoing actions (on the 27th), and rationalizing the ambitions expressed in Leo.Mercury leaves Cancer on the 9th to enter Leo until the 25th! A swift but flamboyant journey that helps channel our dreams toward realization and fuels our desire for novelty, breaking away from the past and outdated ways of operating (on the 12th)! We need to find a balance between wanting to change everything and avoiding forceful attempts! The “messenger of the gods” favors smooth communication and exchange (on the 13th) and allows us to broaden our horizons, our awareness (on the 15th)! Mercury also helps lay solid foundations for our future achievements (on the 17th)!
Venus leaves Virgo to enter Libra, where the gentle planet is at home! Venus favors happy transformations and metamorphoses (on the 10th)! Provided we maintain moderation and don’t rush things! The delightful planet enhances our desire to try new experiences, break routines, and bring energy back to our love lives (on the 12th)! We may enjoy exhilarating moments and fully embrace the present (on the 17th), but we might also face the need to accept certain limits that ensure the stability of relationships (on the 21st)!
Mars moves through Gemini until the 11th, then Cancer from that date! Not entirely comfortable in this backward-looking sign, the warrior planet can stir confusion and disorder on the 17th, encouraging forceful moves that aren’t very wise! On that day, it’s best to play fair with everyone to preserve collective harmony and our personal paths.
Jupiter has been transiting Leo since June 30th and thrives in this radiant sign. It encourages us to express our power, create, showcase ourselves, enjoy life, and expand our influence! In August, the giant planet amplifies positive vibes on the 15th, when agreements (international?) are made and general enthusiasm spreads rapidly! The same applies around the 17th: if intentions remain clear, general harmony warms both collective and individual atmospheres! By the end of the month, this trend continues, giving us the opportunity to move on and, hopefully, contribute to a better version of the world.
Saturn tends to curb Aries’ impulsivity while supporting new beginnings and paths that take time to establish but provide long-term guidance! In August, the austere planet helps rationalize and channel our impulses and creative or reformist drives (on the 7th, 17th, 31st)! There’s no skipping over issues or celebrating results prematurely; we must ensure our initiatives rest on solid ground.
Uranus, in Gemini since April 26th, pushes us to transition from one life to another, one world to another! It’s time to act, initiate new codes, and embrace modes of operation that may shake us a little! In August, Uranus first stimulates creativity and generates new ideas, models to harmonize exchanges between people and nations (on the 12th)! A lot of communication flows well this day. However, near the end of the month (on the 28th), we must avoid going too far. In attempting reform at any cost, we risk forgetting that changing a world, relationships, and a fading relational plan takes time.
Neptune has re-entered Aries since January 26th, bringing new momentum to a world desperately lacking vision! New ideals flourish and inspire societies, but we must avoid becoming holders of ultimate truths. In August, Neptune inspires (on the 12th) but also makes us lose touch with reality on the 10th and 17th, when careful target-setting and distinguishing dream from utopia are necessary. Otherwise, we risk imposing a world on others that isn’t theirs. Keeping a cool head and open dialogue is essential all month.
Pluto in Aquarius opens doors to everything: the best and the worst! Access to a world where technology and AI improve our daily life (especially medically), but also where virtualized means can disconnect us from ourselves and tempt abuse. Let’s remain masters of our creations so they never surpass us and serve only noble purposes! In August, the “lord of metamorphoses” supports necessary emotional transformations, helping us cross a threshold, release emotions, and live fully (on the 10th), but we must still apply analysis and reason to love and passions (on the 12th).
Astrology: What You Need to Know
As the Moon moves at full speed in the zodiac (it travels approximately one sign in two days), we can't detail its evolution in our astral press review! However, its influence can activate sensitive points in the map of our sky... If you wish to know the Moon's position day by day, consult the ephemerides*, which will inform you about the daily position of the planets.
GMT (Greenwich time meridian): universal time to which you have to add (currently) for France one hour in winter and two hours in summer to determine at what exact moment the planet enters a new sign, crosses another planet, etc...
The planets in retrograde: The apparent movement of a planet that gives the impression that the planet stops and then starts again. This phenomenon actually results from the difference between the speed of revolution of the planet and Earth around the Sun. In astrology, a retrograde represents a force that works against the current. Generally, it corresponds to the internalization of energy. Sometimes, it means restraining evolution and recommends that the individual ask themselves about the work to be done to free themselves from the debts of the past or to exploit their potential more consciously!
Domicile of a planet: The sign in which a planet evolves in affinity (for example, Venus in Taurus). The planet then expresses its potential without constraint, freely and creatively...
