Added Value 12 to 18 January 2026


This is a week where cosmic pressure and earthly volatility dovetail in ways that reward clarity, discipline, and foresight. On the astrological level, Mars continues its steady advance through Capricorn (roughly 21°–26°), reinforcing a collective drive for structured results and endurance but also amplifying tensions around authority and ambitions. Jupiter remains retrograde in Cancer, keeping themes of security, protection, and community under review rather than expansion. Saturn and Neptune both linger at the tail end of Pisces, heightening collective sensitivity and symbolic dissolution of old reference points while demanding responsibility and long‑term coherence. Lilith’s direct motion through late Scorpio brings deep questions about truth and ideology to the surface, and Pluto in early Aquarius continues its long structural transformation in social and power networks. Collectively, these transits frame the week as one where actions taken must be measured, purposeful, and rooted in structural understanding rather than impulse

Pressure Points to Watch
Internationally, tensions remain acute and unpredictable. The situation in Iran has escalated into one of the most sustained nationwide protest movements in years, with significant loss of life, mass arrests, and communication blackouts as the regime attempts to contain dissent; external pressures including potential U.S. support and threats of retaliation increase the risk of regional conflagration. In Europe and NATO circles, President Trump’s renewed interest in Greenland — framed as strategic necessity but widely condemned by Danish and Nordic leaders — continues to strain alliances, prompting discussions among Britain, Germany, and other NATO members about joint Arctic deployments to reaffirm collective defence commitments. The BRICS naval exercises involving Russia, China, and Iran off South Africa’s coast underline shifting geopolitical blocs and the challenge to U.S. influence, even if India opts out, reflecting fluid, multipolar tension. Financial markets are responding accordingly; bullion prices are holding firm amid geopolitical risk pricing.

Openings and Strategic Guidance
Under these conditions, the astrology encourages discerned action rather than reactivity. Mars in Capricorn supports disciplined efforts that build long‑term results; this is a time for structuring plans, stabilising resources, and solidifying alliances rather than charging ahead on impulse. Jupiter’s retrograde in Cancer highlights the value of strengthening foundational security — whether emotional, financial, or organisational — before seeking expansion. High collective sensitivity from late‑Pisces Saturn and Neptune suggests that empathetic leadership, careful listening, and measured communication will yield better outcomes than confrontation. This week’s New Moon in Capricorn (around 18 January) further emphasises the value of new beginnings rooted in responsibility and realistic strategy, offering a moment to reset intentions with long‑range coherence in mind. In practical terms, individuals and communities are best served by conserving energy, prioritising clarity over immediacy, and resisting the pull of polarised narratives — the calm centre, this week, will be the source of enduring influence.

The week ahead 27th Oct. – 2nd Nov. 2025

The week opens beneath a charged sky. A grand Earth trine between Pluto in late Capricorn, Uranus in Taurus, and Vesta in Virgo steadies global structures even as pressure mounts within them. The Sun in Scorpio aligns with Jupiter, intensifying revelations about corruption, covert alliances, and the hidden costs of power. Solar activity is unusually strong—flares, storms, and geomagnetic turbulence mirror the instability in human systems. Neptune’s pull through Pisces blurs moral boundaries, and as 3I Atlas moves close to the Sun, its reflected light symbolises exposure: secrets that can no longer remain buried.

On Earth, the same alignment translates into extreme weather and seismic volatility. The South Pacific and Caribbean show heightened tectonic stress, while global flooding and violent storms reflect the ongoing Neptune–Saturn tension. Politically, crises converge. The Middle East enters another volatile cycle under Mars’s influence, while the United States faces renewed confrontation with South America. The aggressive stance toward Venezuela and other left-leaning nations marks the re-emergence of old imperial patterns, yet the astrology suggests reversal. Uranus in Taurus empowers resource independence, and Pluto’s slow breakdown of Capricorn hierarchies signals that the age of unilateral dominance is ending.

Economically and spiritually, this is a crossroads week. The grand trine offers a chance to rebuild on practical, ethical foundations if nations choose cooperation over coercion. The energies of Scorpio season demand truth, even when it disrupts comfort. As Jupiter expands whatever it touches, public awareness and protest movements gain momentum worldwide. In this atmosphere of revelation and reckoning, the wisest path—both personal and collective—is calm resilience: grounding amid flux, humility amid pride, and integrity amid collapse. The cosmos, as ever, insists on renewal through exposure.

The week 22nd – 28th September 2025

Forced balance or good choices?

Firstly I apologise for my timing – but I will continue. The week of 22–28 September 2025 unfolds under the heavy shadow of the 21 September partial lunar eclipse and the 22 September equinox, both of which continue to reverberate through the planetary field. Astronomically, the Sun now sits at 0° Libra, balanced at the celestial equator, while the Moon moves from late Aries into Taurus, grounding the volatility of the eclipse’s final ripples. Jupiter retrograde at 27° Gemini forms a tightening square to Saturn at 27° Pisces, a clash of truth and consequence that presses against global narratives. Uranus holds a stubborn retrograde at 27° Taurus, edging closer to the Pleiades and stirring tectonic, financial, and ecological unrest. Mercury, now direct in Virgo, forms an applying trine to Pluto in Capricorn, sharpening analysis and unearthing the buried logic of crises. This is a sky of correction, where the equinox’s perfect balance exposes the crooked scaffolding of human systems.

Culturally, this alignment speaks of fragile equilibrium amid escalating upheaval. News cycles this week are dominated by worsening famines in East Africa, a grinding war in Eastern Europe, and the slow-motion genocide accusations emerging from conflict zones in the Middle East. The Libra Sun demands diplomacy, but Saturn in Pisces undercuts illusions, forcing recognition of moral failures and the collapse of once-comforting fictions. The Jupiter–Saturn square is the signature of treaties tested, of laws strained to breaking point, and of propaganda meeting the cold geometry of facts. This is a week when rhetoric meets the hard mathematics of survival, and when balance is not compromise but the exact measurement of what remains.

Emotionally, the eclipse continues to pull at the psychic tide. Lunar eclipses are always disclosures, and this one—occurring just hours before the equinox—magnifies the sensation of a collective threshold. Individuals may feel an oscillation between paralysis and decisive clarity, as if personal choices carry the weight of planetary consequence. Uranus near the Pleiades electrifies the nervous system, creating sudden awakenings and flashes of insight that can destabilise old habits. Venus in Leo opposing Neptune in Pisces adds an undertow of longing, a bittersweet recognition of beauty in a world on fire, while Mars in Cancer drives protective instincts, especially around home and kin.

The Geo-Zenith reading therefore frames this week as a hinge in the long cycle of 2025, a moment when celestial balance demands terrestrial reckoning. The equinox invites measured reorientation, yet the eclipse refuses complacency. Jupiter’s retrograde square to Saturn insists on systemic correction, whether in finance, food distribution, or governance. For those attuned to the deeper harmonics, this is not merely another crisis week but a visible cross-section of the planetary story: a sky of symmetrical light exposing the crookedness below, reminding humanity that equilibrium is never static but a discipline continually earned.

The eclipse tunnel

The eclipse tunnel opening between the lunar and solar eclipses of September 2025 is not a flat stretch of time but a shifting corridor, alive with subtle alterations in tone and emphasis as the planets move against one another. The period from the 9th to the 20th is marked by a sense of cleansing, of stripping down to essentials, a necessary release before the charged new beginning of the solar eclipse on the 21st. The signature is unmistakably emotional, woven from the interplay of Moon transits, the languid pressure of retrograde outer planets, and the gnawing tension of the nodal axis strung tight between Leo and Aquarius.

At the start of the tunnel, the Moon’s contact with Saturn and Neptune in Pisces draws a veil across collective consciousness. Saturn retrograde lends weight, as though every feeling must first be tested against some karmic rubric, while Neptune retrograde dissolves boundaries, allowing old griefs and disillusions to seep through. This is the “heavy water” stage of the tunnel: the sensation of wading through ancestral memory and collective sorrow. Nations already burdened by water crises or institutional breakdowns — South Asia during monsoon season, island states grappling with climate-linked inundation — are especially likely to feel the mirrored weight of this Piscean emphasis. On the personal level, the task is to allow the tides to wash away false certainties without rushing to replace them.

As the days progress, the Moon moves on to encounter Mars in Virgo, sharpening emotional responses into critique, precision, and sometimes irritability. The tunnel here takes on a forensic quality: flaws and inefficiencies are exposed, both within personal lives and within public structures. We may expect heightened discourse around healthcare, logistics, and the small mechanisms by which societies either function smoothly or grind down. In Europe, with its bureaucratic intricacies and recent strains on supply chains, this passage may coincide with further arguments over systems of management, echoing Mars’ relentless insistence on detail. For individuals, it is the moment to trim, to edit, to discard the excess that clutters both mind and daily routine.

Midway through, the Moon’s sweep across Aries and Taurus stirs the latent power of Uranus retrograde. Here the tunnel takes on its crackling, unstable quality: emotions lurch, freedoms are craved, disruptions slip through cracks. Retrograde Uranus is not the open revolution but the rehearsal, the draft explosion in the inner world before the outer detonation. Collectively, this can play out in technological uncertainty and unexpected reversals of progress, especially in regions tied to rapid innovation — the United States and East Asia may feel this jolt in their economic or digital sectors. The key lesson is that stability is a façade; within the tunnel, we are asked to embrace the instability as a sign that outdated structures are ready to be shed.

Towards the close of the tunnel, the Moon conjoins Jupiter in Gemini. This is the restless, swollen stage: optimism brims but lacks containment. Ideas multiply, words spill out, promises balloon larger than the means to fulfil them. Here the square to the Leo Sun still active in the nodal zone sharpens the tension — belief against fact, inspiration against pride. It can be a time of misjudgement on the world stage, when leaders may overstate or overreach. Watch for regions with fragile political coalitions — Latin America, parts of Africa — where rhetoric may climb beyond pragmatic capacity. Yet on the personal plane, this same aspect can offer a glimpse of the broader horizon that awaits on the other side of the solar eclipse, provided one does not take the inflation too literally.

Throughout the entire tunnel, the drag of Pluto retrograde in Capricorn and Saturn retrograde in Pisces provides the shadow undertow. These are not days for launching grand schemes, but for purging — the political scandals, the financial reckonings, the personal decisions to abandon roles that no longer fit. The tunnel functions as a crucible in which the unnecessary, the redundant, the false is burnt off. It is emotional, yes, but not chaotic for its own sake; the purpose is purification, so that when the solar eclipse arrives, we can step into the new chapter unencumbered.

The global mood during these days will be one of intensity and reckoning. Where water, institutions, and identity are already fragile, pressure will build most visibly. Where personal pride and collective necessity are at odds, expect tension. And where outdated forms cling to life, the eclipse tunnel demands their release. It is not a comfortable passage, but it is a clarifying one. By the 20th, if the work has been done, much of the rubbish — both emotional and structural — will have been stripped away, leaving a sharper edge for the solar eclipse to cut cleanly into what must come next.

September 2025

September 2025 is dominated by the interplay of eclipses, Mercury’s direct station, and the ongoing influence of slow-moving outer planets, creating a month that feels simultaneously disruptive and clarifying. The lunar eclipse on 7 September at 6° Aries opens the month with sudden revelations and heightened tension in areas of personal assertion, leadership, and conflict. Across the globe, this energy mirrors intensifying geopolitical pressures, social unrest, and urgent calls for accountability. Situations that have been simmering for months now surface, exposing vulnerabilities in both governance and institutions, as well as latent unrest among populations. On an individual level, the eclipse encourages people to confront hidden patterns of aggression, ambition, or neglect before they escalate further.

The solar eclipse of 21 September at 28° Virgo carries a subtler but equally powerful energy. Its focus on work, daily structures, health, and collective systems forces scrutiny of efficiency, productivity, and integrity. Globally, expect shifts in logistics, supply chains, and organisational structures, with governments, corporations, and international bodies needing to revise processes under pressure. This eclipse is an opportunity for radical reform, though it may feel disruptive at first: outdated systems, methods, and assumptions are being dismantled to make way for more sustainable approaches. Mercury turning direct on 15 September aids in communication, negotiations, and problem-solving, helping to clarify matters that seemed stuck during the retrograde, particularly in international relations, trade agreements, and domestic policy adjustments.

The outer planets continue to provide long-term context for September’s turbulence. Jupiter in Cancer encourages reassessment of shared resources, humanitarian responsibilities, and collective emotional intelligence, offering the potential for constructive growth amid chaos. Saturn retrograde in Pisces urges a sober evaluation of responsibilities, boundaries, and ethical commitments, both personally and collectively. Pluto in Aquarius continues to challenge power structures and social norms, reshaping relationships, technology, and community dynamics at a systemic level. The lingering influence of eclipses combined with these slow-moving energies signals a month where change is unavoidable: some shifts will feel abrupt, others gradual, but all are oriented toward restructuring and greater alignment with long-term necessity.

The path forward for September is discernment and adaptability. Individuals and nations alike are asked to recognise where old patterns are failing and where new strategies, alliances, or structures are required. Tension between entrenched interests and emerging realities will be unavoidable, but those who focus on clarity, integrity, and practical solutions are positioned to navigate the month with strategic advantage. The eclipses illuminate hidden truths, Mercury restores communication channels, and the outer planets provide the framework for reform. September is less about immediate gratification and more about building resilience, discerning opportunities in disruption, and aligning both action and intention with the deeper rhythms now unfolding globally and personally.

The week 18th – 24th August 2024

A crazy week, again.

Expect geopolitical friction to flare in places that have been simmering like a pot on low heat for far too long, and don’t be surprised if the natural world decides to remind humanity that it – unlike our fragile egos -does not negotiate. Seismic activity flares, Fires, floods, heatwaves, and freak storms will appear in surprising locations, pushing infrastructures and governments past their usual coping mechanisms. This, on top of the already high level of natural phenomena pushing emergency services to the brink.
Meanwhile, social tensions bubble beneath the surface: misinformation, discontent, and mismanagement could clash in spectacularly messy ways, as populations no longer accept the given as truth and look for themselves.
We will all be reminded that chaos is the default state, and order is a temporary illusion.

Financial markets will wobble as energy and food supply concerns collide with political brinkmanship. Populations in crisis zones could see unexpected movements – migration pressures, protests, or mass mobilisations. There is nowhere left to go, so these problems, will spill over to other areas. Global travel may encounter more disruptions, and supply chains are buckle under the strain, no matter how many spreadsheets or press releases managers produce – the work will not go smoothly or as expected.

Expect technological glitches everywhere, smoothly working systems may stutter for no discernible reason  dangerous glitches or failings cause great concern, or otherwise betray confidence, highlighting how dependent humanity is on systems that were never designed for real unpredictability. Please take care.

Time to finally stop acting surprised. We need to work together and adopt new approaches NOW.

There is hope. Despite the increasing chaos and uncertainty, this week asks the planet and us – its inhabitants – to pause, observe, and act deliberately. The practical step? Focus on one meaningful, stabilising action at a time. Put out the worst fire, see to better water management, look to energy conservation, be mindful of the rate of consumption, and deal with conflict de-escalation, these tasks are not glamorous, but they are effective. We have to do what we can where we are this week.

Local initiatives can ripple outward. Communities that state clearly and honestly what is happening will work. Be prepared to share resources, and collaborate creatively. We will feel the difference immediately. We have to learn to work together from the ground up. It’s a cosmic test in patience, ingenuity, and empathy: can humans operate as a collective intelligence rather than a collection of egos? We will find out this week.

On a psychological and spiritual level, Earth is letting us know who is really in control, she is.   So, stop pretending control exists. Begin noticing what you can change.

We are being tasked to be spiritually mature in all we do. Meditate on simplicity, reconnect with natural cycles, and pay attention to the small acts that accumulate into resilience.

Humanity may not have invented a manual for survival under chaos yet, but practical kindness, adaptability, and honest assessment of risks are surprisingly effective tools. This is not the time for heroic gestures or grandstanding: it’s about doing what works, even if it’s dirty, boring and slow.

This week: brace for turbulence, expect the unexpected, and accept that discomfort is an honest teacher. Prioritise the tangible over the theoretical, act locally while thinking globally, and remember that peace – real, enduring peace – requires both courage and patience. We need to grow up and help each other no matter where we are or what is happening.

Earth will continue to spin regardless of human panic. Your job is to act wisely within your sphere, because small, consistent efforts now will echo far beyond the immediate week. We are growing something new, something that goes beyond our current cultures and states and politics, we have to.

You can grumble about the heat, the storms, the politics, the chaos – and you will – but roll your sleeves up and get on with the practical while grumbling, the universe has no obligation to pause for you.

The sextiles rock!

Today, 15 August 2025, the skies have arranged themselves into a set of sextiles so clean and well-cut you could use them to slice through the wet papier-mâché thinking that currently passes for global leadership. This isn’t one of those vague, sentimental alignments where you “just follow your heart” and hope for the best; these are precision-engineered opportunities. The geometry is crisp, the geo-zenith lines almost surgical, and the entire pattern screams “if you’re going to do something big, do it now, and do it properly.” From London to Lagos, Delhi to Detroit, the planetary lines are whispering the same message: stop dithering, build something worth keeping, and for heaven’s sake, say what you mean.

At the heart of the day is Mercury in Leo sextile Mars in Libra, a combination that turns words into weapons—charming weapons, perhaps, but weapons nonetheless. The geo-zenith for this one is particularly sharp over the Middle East and Central Europe, where diplomacy is already tap-dancing on the edge of sabres. For the rest of us, it’s perfect for declarations that are both creative and impossible to ignore. Layer onto that the Saturn–Uranus sextile stretching across Aries and Gemini: the architectural blueprint for revolution, but without the sloppy idealism. This is the kind of energy you’d want if you were, say, dismantling an obsolete institution and replacing it with something that might actually work before the ice caps finish their slow suicide.

Saturn’s other flirtation, with Pluto, adds the heavy machinery. Pluto is the deep miner, Saturn the construction foreman, and together they’re giving you the green light to tear down the rot and rebuild the bones. The geo-zenith emphasis over the Americas hints that economic and political power games are shifting, and not quietly. Uranus sextile Neptune rounds out the picture with a vision you can actually manifest. It’s the rare “dream plus blueprint” combination, and its zenith through the Pacific suggests the next big leap in tech or environmental policy could come from places currently underestimated. Think less “Silicon Valley” and more “unexpected island nation that just rewrote the rules.”

In real-time terms, these sextiles are a counterpoint to the current parade of crises—wildfires fanned by political hot air, trade disputes dressed up as moral crusades, and a news cycle that somehow manages to be both hysterical and bored. What these aspects offer is focus. They are not the cosmic equivalent of a spa day; they are the kind of conditions that let you negotiate peace treaties, launch major ventures, and pull off strategic coups while everyone else is still refreshing their feeds. This is not the day to quietly tidy your inbox.

If you want to be great under this sky, stop looking for the “right moment” and start acting as if the moment you’ve been waiting for just walked in the door wearing a sign with your name on it. Build with intention, speak with precision, and innovate with the kind of discipline that turns a clever idea into a lasting legacy. The geometry overhead will meet you halfway, but you have to move. Whether you’re launching a new project, a campaign, or a personal transformation, today’s sky isn’t just favourable—it’s an accomplice. Use it.

The eye of the storm

Many voices agree that the Aquarius Full Moon on August 9 is a pivot point – one that illuminates where you must let go, reinvent, and reorient. The feel and tone varies for everyone – for some, it’s hopeful and spirited; for others, it’s a confrontation with inner blocks needing release. The Aquarian Full Moon is a critical point for releasing outdated social norms and patterns, and revealing truths about collective and personal identity. This is a moment of aligning with higher awareness and letting go of what no longer serves.
Uranus is strongly activating this lunation, enabling visionary breakthroughs, creative thinking, and a reconfiguration of social systems and personal goals.
Which we all need now.

This Full Moon in Aquarius is widely seen as a moment of revelation – every astrologer will tell you this. It’s a time for shedding sentimental illusions in favor of clear, detached truth, especially regarding community, the family, the home, and one’s place within it.

There’s a strong emphasis on innovation and unconventional thinking, encouraging individuals to step into originality and expressive authenticity. This may be your only way out, our only way out. Step out of the box – at least in your thinking.

It’s a split message and there are mixed energies

It’s a chance for emotional release, new insight, and breaking through false narratives. This we must become clear on. We must see things clearly and think clearly too.
But it is also a time we can expect confusion, false projection, and misdirection in interpersonal conflict or political messaging. Especially the political messaging – we are all being lied to, big time. It’s time to know this and point it out.

This Full Moon in Aquarius is not peaceful, but it is pivotal. It exposes fault lines – both in the outer world and within.
The key is not to react, but to observe.
The eye of the storm is not an escape – it’s where the truth lands.

Aquarius August 2025

The Truth About August

Aquarius, you’re the rebel of the zodiac, but this month the rebellion feels a little confusing. The geo-zenith casts its unforgiving light on your innovation zone, friendships, and social ideals – and the picture isn’t as neat as your blueprint. It’s more like an abstract painting splattered with chaos and existential dread. Not the usual picture at all.

With Uranus and Eris stirring the pot in your network sector, expect surprises that challenge your belief in progress and the future. Friendships may fracture, alliances shift, and your tribe might suddenly feel like a bunch of strangers at a dinner party you forgot you invited. Financial instability looms around group projects or shared resources. Take care and look closely.

Your usual detachment is tested, forcing you to confront emotional currents you’d rather intellectualise away. The cosmos demands authenticity – not the unique genius persona you wear like armour. It won’t work this time.

Mid-month, Neptune’s fog in your chart heightens confusion but also spiritual insight. The trick is to hold both truths: the world is breaking apart and you can still find meaning in the pieces.

The takeaway: Aquarius, you’re not the benevolent dictator of progress. Sometimes leading means following, listening, and admitting you don’t have all the answers – even for yourself.

Pisces August 2025

The Truth About August

Pisces, you’re swimming in a cosmic tidal wave this month – and it’s no gentle surf. The geo-zenith zooms in on your emotional and spiritual depths, pulling you into the messy undercurrents of collective grief, confusion, and dissolution. Neptune clouds the horizon, Sedna drags up ancestral sorrow, and your normally clear intuitive channel gets fuzzy with everyone else’s noise. You really are in the storm, in the rapids, in deep.

This is the month to get ruthless about boundaries. Financially, be cautious with institutions, charities, and anything that smells like hidden agendas or emotional blackmail. The emotional flood can leave you exhausted and drained, turning your natural compassion into a liability if you’re not careful. So pay attention and take care, do not allow yourself to get snarled or snared into anything.

Relationships will be intense and draining – you attract lost souls and emotional vampires who aren’t interested in your well-being but in offloading their baggage. This is normal for you – and usually you can give willingly, but not this month. It’s a brutal lesson: your empathy is a gift, not an open door for everyone’s chaos.

The best way through is grounding – daily physical routines, nature, art, anything that reconnects you to tangible reality. Learn to say “no” without guilt, because you cannot pour from an empty cup. You need to create the space you need.

The takeaway: Pisces, you’re not the cosmic emotional mop and bucket. Wring yourself out before you turn into spiritual soup.

Capricorn August 2025

The Truth About August

Capricorn, the steady mountain you’ve been climbing feels more like a crumbling cliff face this month. Slipping with scree, covered in prickly shrubs, not good. The geo-zenith highlights your career, reputation, and long-term goals – but the foundation you’ve built your ambition on is shaking harder than you’d like. The universe is testing if your definition of success is really yours, or just a well-rehearsed act. Find out fast.

Pluto’s shadow looms large, stirring up buried fears about control and failure. Dwarf planets Ceres and Haumea toss in a cocktail of power struggles and forced reinvention. The message? You can’t scale a peak while clinging to old roles or outdated structures. It’s time to rewrite your blueprint for achievement – one that honours your limits and your needs, not just your drive.

Financially, this month warns against overextending – whether through investments, loans, or promises you can’t keep. Hard-earned stability is at risk if you ignore the warning signs. Career changes or public reckonings might feel like setbacks but are actually gateways to a more authentic path. Be open enough to trust them when you see them.

Relationships demand patience and real talk. Old resentments bubble under the surface, especially around work-life balance and who “wears the pants.” Your usual “fix it all” attitude won’t cut it here – vulnerability is your best power move, even if it scares you. Here you need to change- and quickly to keep what you have.

The takeaway: Capricorn, you’re not a robot. The mountain won’t respect your hustle if your foundation is made of sand. Time to build from the ground up, re-asses or keep falling back.

Sagittarius August 2025

The Truth About August

Sagittarius, your usual arrow of optimism hits a dense bank of fog this month. The geo-zenith planetary lineup targets your beliefs, higher learning, and far-flung adventures. The universe isn’t handing out easy answers or giving you open roads. Instead, it’s tossing a riddle wrapped in chaos: what do you really believe when everything familiar collapses?

The Sun is in an awkward tango with Uranus which sparks upheaval in your career or public role – what you thought was a sure path forward turns into a maze with dead ends. Dwarf planets Eris and Sedna poke at your sense of justice and collective responsibility, forcing you to question whether your personal ideals still hold water or are relics of an easier, earlier time. Think carefully and listen to what is really going on.

Financially, watch for sudden reversals linked to travel, education, or foreign connections. This is more important than you may think. Impulsive spending on any new horizons – might leave you stranded, so check your compass before you leap, spend or book. Relationships feel the ripple too, with unexpected truths emerging about long-term commitments or friendships you’ve been taking for granted.

The best way through is humility. Let go of the grand narrative you’ve been telling yourself. The universe demands you evolve beyond big philosophies, slogans and easy platitudes – get gritty, get real, and rewrite your map with the wisdom of your scars, not just dreams.

The takeaway: Sagittarius, the cosmos isn’t your personal hype this month. Lose the motivational poster slogans and face the messy truth: growth sometimes feels like falling down a well before you learn to fly.

Virgo August 2025

The Truth About August

Virgo, you thrive on order and control – but August rolls in like a cosmic prank, pulling every neat thread loose. The geo-zenith focus hits your routines, health, and the endless list of ‘should-could-would’ you’ve been lugging around. This month isn’t about perfecting systems – it’s about smashing the ones that are keeping you small and exhausted.

Expect schedule disruptions, unexpected health concerns, or work dynamics that feel like herding chaos with a teaspoon. Eris and Chiron stir up old wounds about worth and service – the part of you that overworks, over-gives, and under-acknowledges your own needs. The more you try to fix everything around you, the messier it gets. The cosmos is screaming for boundaries, self-prioritisation, and a serious audit of why you’re working this hard to stay in the same place.

Financially, it’s not a disastrous month, but there’s a theme of leaks – slowly draining away through unpaid favours, “just this once” generosity, or chasing tiny, time-consuming projects that don’t pay what you deserve. This is where ruthless clarity pays off: not every request deserves your meticulous attention. Start by choosing wisely – for yourself.

Relationships may feel transactional – who’s doing what for whom – and it’ll sting if you realise some dynamics aren’t built on genuine care but mutual convenience. The challenge is to stop playing Florence Nightingale for people who’d watch you bleed out before offering a plaster.

Planetary pressure peaks mid-month with Uranus shaking your vision for the future. Plans you thought were set in stone job paths, living arrangements, long-term projects start looking flimsy. This isn’t failure; it’s revelation. You’re seeing where the scaffolding was made of matchsticks all along. This is a good thing – you will know where to build in the future.

The takeaway: Virgo, you can’t spreadsheet your way out of a collapsing structure. Put the colour-coded planner down and decide what you actually want – then torch the rest.
