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 10th – 16th November 2025

The week of 10–16 November 2025 opens under volatile skies, both literally and politically. Mars conjunct Mercury in Scorpio sharpens words into weapons and drives impulsive decisions; diplomacy and military command alike are walking on glass. The Sun forms tense angles to Uranus, signalling abrupt reversals—expect surprise resignations, data leaks, or technological failures at critical moments. Astronomically, solar flares remain active and geomagnetic storms are forecast midweek, potentially disrupting communications and amplifying human tension. The Moon waxing through Pisces and Aries heightens emotional tides; what begins as intuition could spill into outrage.

Globally, energy grids and trade routes remain vulnerable. Continued strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure and deepening economic divides in the Americas echo the wider instability of Uranus in Taurus—financial shocks, sudden sanctions, volatile markets. South American nations push back against foreign economic control, while the Middle East edges between fragile truces and theatrical diplomacy. Flooding, seismic rumblings, Japan is at risk – and unpredictable weather patterns – the Philippines are at risk – these trace Neptune’s restless influence through Pisces, reminding humanity that nature itself is the loudest voice this month.

This is a week when truth and chaos travel side by side. Facts must be checked twice, and motives examined thrice. The best way through is restraint: choose precision over noise, compassion over drama, and wait for the solar winds to pass before making irreversible decisions.

The week 6th – 12th October 2025

The week opens under a Full Moon in Aries on 6 Oct — a flashpoint lunation that heightens emotional urgency and makes public events feel immediate and irreversible. That lunation squares long, slow pressures on institutions (Pluto/Capricorn still pressing systems) and lands while Mercury slides into Scorpio (a transit for digging, leaks and forensic detail). Expect the mood to be confrontational and disclosure-heavy: live footage, verified satellite imagery and activist testimony will dominate headlines and force rapid diplomatic responses rather than slow negotiations. This is already visible in the flotilla story — the Relief flotilla drew international attention and confrontations at sea early this week, and governments will be responding in real time to footage and consular crises.

Astronomically the slow planets are reinforcing zones of stress and infrastructure vulnerability. Uranus in Taurus continues to agitate trade-nodes and port corridors (Taurus being the gauntlet for earth/commodity lines) while Saturn and Pluto’s remnant pressure points keep bureaucracies brittle; that combination makes maritime chokepoints and supply chains unusually sensitive to sudden shocks — Red Sea approaches, Suez logistics and Mediterranean ports will be especially exposed to incidents or interdictions this week. Geo-zenith reading: cities and ports near Taurus meridians and local culminations — think Aden/Bab-el-Mandeb, Suez/Port Said, and key Mediterranean transshipment hubs — are under an astro-stress signature that favours sudden events that ripple into insurance, commodity and refugee flows. The humanitarian picture ties straight into this: WFP/FAO warnings remain dire for the Sahel, Sudan and Horn, and blocked corridors combined with weather and logistical shocks will deepen shortages and displacement during this period.

Politically, the Sun/Moon/Mercury pattern this week pushes visibility and accountability onto leaders: protests, high-profile detentions, and legislative flashpoints in democratic capitals are likely to be front-page items. In the U.S., domestic unrest and anti-ICE actions have already provoked heavy federal responses and National Guard deployments — an Aries Full Moon heightens direct-action energy and the Scorpio Mercury window fuels legal and media investigations that will amplify every incident. In Europe, the same lunation intensifies divisions exposed during public debates about Gaza, migration and energy; expect more symbolic parliamentary moments, urgent summit talk and pressure on the Commission to propose short-term measures (soft humanitarian corridors, temporary tariff/aid adjustments) to manage fallout. Leaders who try to paper over visible evidence will find the pressure increases this week.

Overlaying the human news is a vivid celestial backdrop that offers both danger and a pragmatic window. Comet and meteor activity (bright comets reported this month and Orionid/Draconid peaks later in October) are drawing attention and serving as symbolic pressure points; scientifically they do not cause earthly events, but astrologically and socially these nights are being used to time disclosures and spectacle. The practical takeaways for the 6–12 Oct week: 1) expect more high-visibility incidents at sea and at major ports; 2) expect humanitarian access and famine headlines to harden political responses (short-term pauses, emergency votes, targeted aid corridors) but remain fragile; 3) expect domestic political flashpoints — protests, legal moves and governance crises — to be amplified by fast communications and forensic evidence; 4) use the Mercury-Scorpio window to synchronize verified information releases (NGOs, investigative journalists, satellite forensics) because the week’s lunation will give those releases immediate leverage. For geo-zenith action points: monitor the Red Sea / Suez meridian, Gaza coastal arc, Kyiv-Crimea/Black Sea shipping lanes and the western European energy/port longitudes — those are the places the planetary map is most likely to focus headlines and material impacts.

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.

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.

Scorpio August 2025

The Truth About August

Scorpio, August is your cosmic mirror – but don’t expect a flattering reflection. The geo-zenith lights up your transformation sector with a merciless, brilliant glow, revealing every secret you’d rather keep buried. Ancestral shadows and personal demons come out to dance, and the universe demands you lead.

With Pluto’s slow, grinding presence amplified and dwarf planet Ceres shaking your foundations, you’re being forced to reckon with deep patterns of control, power, and emotional survival. This isn’t about wielding your usual secret strength but about surrendering to what you cannot change – a terrifying but liberating lesson in acceptance.

Financially, the cosmos warns against gambling or high-stakes risk. This month is about protecting what you have, not chasing what you want. Emotional investments will be far more volatile than any bank account this month. Take care, especially in intimate or family relationships. Boundaries will be tested, trust will be questioned, and you’ll have to decide who’s truly loyal – and who’s just lurking in the shadows.

There’s a strong karmic current running through August, pushing you to cleanse your soul’s ledger. The best way through is to be brutally honesty with yourself, no matter how uncomfortable. The cosmic magic you need you will find right inside that painful clarity.

The takeaway: Scorpio, you can’t control the chaos by hiding in your lair. Sometimes the only power move is to face the fire, get singed, and rise stronger – or get burned to ashes. Your call. So, don’t burn, you have more resilience than that.

Libra August 2025

The Truth About August

Libra, your gift is balance – but this month the cosmic scales feel rigged and wobbly. The geo-zenith is spotlighting your relationships, partnerships, and personal values, and the universe isn’t interested in pretty compromises. It’s handing you an emotional sledgehammer to smash illusions, flip power dynamics, and rewrite what “fair” really means. Use it well.

You’re going to have to pick a side this month – and this is not the “let’s keep everyone happy” middle ground you prefer. You are really going to have t pick a side and stand your ground. With dwarf planets Eris and Haumea stirring rebellion and reinvention in your one-on-one zones, expect uncomfortable truths about who’s truly holding power and who’s just playing along to avoid conflict. It might not be you, others are also conflict shy.

Your ruling planet Venus is flirting with Uranus, turning up the volume on surprises in love and money. This isn’t the gentle harmony you dream of but the “hold onto your hat, everything might change” kind of shake-up. Financially, it’s a rollercoaster, especially in joint ventures or shared resources. Be suspicious of sweet deals and double-check the fine print before you sign anything. As if you didn’t already know this.

Relationships will demand brutal honesty, not polite dodges. Old resentments bubble to the surface, and if you keep glossing over them, expect a volcanic eruption rather than a gentle simmer. Your partner is not you – expect emotions. This may be painful, but necessary if you want anything real to survive the shake-out. Therefore speak your truth in your ever balanced way.

Todays takeaway: Libra, it’s time to drop the social pleasantries and start asking, “What do I actually want?” Because playing peacekeeper in a minefield will only get you blown to bits.

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.

Leo August 2025

The Truth About August

Leo, you love a spotlight – but this month it feels more like a searchlight exposing all your blind spots. The geo-zenith alignment shines directly on your identity, ambition, and public image, and it’s brutally clear where you’ve been faking it or overcompensating. The world doesn’t need a performance now – it needs authenticity, it needs you to show up stripped of glitter and pretense, claws out, heart exposed.

With dwarf planet Eris sowing discord in your partnership zone and Haumea questioning what you’re creating in your personal empire, this is a month for truth bombs. Expect your ego to take a few hits, whether through criticism, failed plans, or seeing someone else outshine you where you expected the applause to be yours. The lesson isn’t humility for humility’s sake – it’s about shedding the roles you thought you had to play to be loved or admired. Get closer to real.

Your ruling Sun gets tangled with volatile Uranus mid-month, sparking career curveballs and public drama. Don’t cling to the empty narrative of “how it should have gone” – roll with the disruption and you might stumble upon a more authentic path forward, let the flow guide you. Just know the cosmos is allergic to your usual “I’ll just push harder and make it happen” trick this month.

Financially, risky ventures look especially foolish under this sky. The temptation to spend for status – the flash car, the bigger stage, the “proof” of success – will backfire, so just enjoy thinking about the big purchase and put the buy off. The cosmic truth today is, if you’re not secure inside, no price tag will fix it. So, fix the inside first.

Relationships mirror your own inner tension: you crave adoration, but bristle when someone sees through your mask. This is a make-or-break month for long-term dynamics – either they grow with your real self or they wither with the façade you’ve been feeding them. Truth is now the best option.

The takeaway: Drop the crown, Leo. The kingdom you’ve been building for applause is crumbling – time to rule your own life instead of performing for the court. Trust me, it’ll be a better performance and easier to sustain.

Cancer August 2025

The Truth About August

You might want to crawl into your shell this month, Cancer, but the cosmos has other ideas. The geo-zenith focus is cracking open your home sector, ancestral roots, and emotional foundations. Think of it as a cosmic eviction notice for everything stale, stagnant, or rotten under the floorboards of your life. The universe isn’t asking if you’re ready to renovate – it’s bringing the wrecking ball and daring you to rebuild.

Family ties feel less like a warm hug and more like a tangled net you can’t quite wriggle free from. Old patterns resurface, ancestral echoes knock on the door, and you’ll be forced to examine whether you’re living your life or just replaying the same generational family drama with different actors. There’s liberation here, but only if you’re willing to do the emotional heavy lifting.

Dwarf planets Ceres and Eris are taking pot shots at your security blanket, shaking up how you nurture yourself versus how you’re expected to show up for others. It’s a messy tangle of giving, receiving, and learning that “care” isn’t the same as martyrdom. Meanwhile, Pluto whispers that you can’t control everything – sometimes you have to let a structure collapse before a new one can rise.

Financially, this month is less about gain and more about pruning. Unexpected expenses tied to home, repairs, or family obligations could hit hard. Before you spiral, see it as an investment in long-term stability – but only after you’ve separated genuine necessity from guilt-driven generosity.

Relationships? There’s friction between the comfort and closeness you crave and the independence others demand. Expect blunt truths to surface, particularly around boundaries and emotional labour. Some of these revelations may sting – a lot – but they’re the first step toward emotional sovereignty.

The takeaway: Cancer, you can’t cling to a sinking ship just because you built it. Sometimes survival means grabbing the lifeboat and paddling toward dry land – and do it alone if you have to.
