The Sun in Leo encourages our creativity and our initiatives to draw attention and shine. Let’s take advantage of the Sun's presence in the sign it rules to recharge our energy and boost our self-confidence. Starting on the 22nd, the Sun moves into Virgo. Let’s resist the temptation to criticize everything around the 24th. The atmosphere may become tense, both personally and collectively.Mercury continues its retrograde in Leo until the 11th, when it resumes its direct motion. This is an opportunity to restart stagnant conversations that have been on hold since July 18th in a more fluid, creative, and productive way (especially on the 15th and 18th).
Venus remains in Cancer until August 25. While it may bring some disappointments at the beginning of the month (on the 1st), it enhances our personal radiance and seductive power around the 12th, in harmony with Jupiter. Starting on the 25th, Venus enters Leo, bringing warmth, intense feelings, and increased charm, enough to rekindle the flame in a relationship or spark promising encounters, provided we keep a cool head (on the 26th).
Mars leaves Virgo on August 6 and enters Libra. In this peaceful sign, the warrior planet promotes creative communication and innovative solutions to current issues (on the 8th and 10th). Be careful not to push through a blocked situation (on the 9th). Intense communication may also help move certain situations forward (on the 15th and 18th).
Jupiter, in Cancer since June 9, seeks to establish a secure environment. In August, it continues its path without directly influencing events, but it may increase the temptation to withdraw inwardly, both personally and on a broader collective level.
Saturn, in Aries since May 25, is working to build new solid foundations. If it encounters no obstacles, it supports long-lasting structures. However, in the face of adversity, it could block progress. In August, Saturn first slows down action (on the 9th) before prompting deep reflection on necessary innovations (on the 12th). The key is to act consciously and with kindness.
Uranus remains in Taurus until April 2026, but makes an incursion into Gemini from July 7 to November 8, giving the sense of being at a crossroads. We must shift our perspective on the world and constantly innovate. In August, Uranus stimulates creativity and encourages bold initiatives (on the 8th). Thinking before acting is essential to make wise decisions (on the 12th). If we avoid playing the sorcerer’s apprentice (on the 24th), we can pave the way for an inspiring future (on the 29th).
Neptune, in Aries since March 30, will leave this sign on October 22. This initial transit could mark a turning point. In this bold sign, Neptune may breathe new life into our ideals, though not without turbulence. In August, it distorts our perception of reality, especially in the emotional realm (on the 1st). Caution is advised on the 9th, as it may lead to mistakes. On the other hand, following our intuition on the 29th could be beneficial, especially if it serves the greater good.
Pluto in Aquarius opens the door to profound transformations. Technology and artificial intelligence could improve our daily lives, but also risk disconnecting us from ourselves. We must stay in control of our creations so they remain in service of the common good. In August, Pluto supports initiatives aimed at rebuilding on stronger foundations (on the 10th). However, beware of trying to monopolize attention (on the 26th), as the stakes are collective.
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...
