Astrology Forecast for August 25 -31, 2025

Note:  the dates in this forecast are for Pacific to Eastern time.  

Unless I provide a specific timeframe, we’ll feel the energies 24-72 hours in advance of the date I mention (the date when the planetary alignment is exact).  They will be gaining in strength as they approach the date.  We will also feel them for 24-48 hours after, but they will be losing strength with each passing hour. 

To get the most of this week's energies:

• Tap into the energy of Venus in Leo this week, and treat yourself to something that makes you feel like a million bucks 😉
• If you're ready to advance your relationship to the next level, Monday and Tuesday are two excellent days.  They are also great for a date night. 
• Sit out a lengthy Moon void-of-course period mid-week (see Moon Void of Course below)

If You're Working with the Lunar Cycle for Manifestation... 

The Moon is waxing this week, encouraging you to take action toward your goals. I hate to break it to you....manifestation is not as simple as sending your wishes out to the Universe and waiting for things to happen (even though sometimes they do!).  YOU are an active agent in it all.  

Yes, I teach a course on manifestation, but I also keep it real 😉

What is one action step that you can take toward your goals this week?

If Your Birthday is This Week:

If your birthday is between August 20-29, your Sun will be square Uranus in your Solar Return chart.  Next 12 months may bring unexpected or surprising developments. Changes that you initiate could either not pan out, or turn out to be temporary (for example, if you decide to move, you could move again within 1-2 years). 

Don't forget to book your Solar Return (birthday) reading! This predictive reading will highlight what you need to pay attention to in the upcoming 12 months.

It's an astrology chart of your year ahead, which can be very revealing. What is highlighted this year for you? Career? Relationships? Finances? Spiritual needs and development?

This reading also makes a great gift!

And here are the main astro-happenings of this week:

✨  August 25: Venus enters Leo and trines Saturn 

Venus in Leo loves to be noticed, appreciated and recognized. Tap into her energy to shower your loved ones with appreciation! And don’t forget yourself, either! 😉 Sometimes we need to be our own biggest appreciator.  Venus will stay in Leo until September 19.

The Venus-Saturn trine today is very helpful for relationships, especially if you would like to take things to the next level, to move in together, or to pop the question. 

✨  August 26:  Venus sextiles Uranus, trines Neptune and Opposes Pluto!

Wow, the planet of love (and money!) is super active in the skies today. It's a great day for a romantic date or to approach your interest on a dating app - as long as you're not afraid of some intensity. 

Note that the stock market tends to have a lot of activity when Venus makes many aspects, so the start of the week can be eventful there.
