3I Atlas trajectory

The solar system is being traversed by an interstellar visitor of extraordinary proportions, known as 3I/ATLAS. Unlike the brief flyby of its predecessors, this object moves along a trajectory almost parallel to the ecliptic plane, threading through the inner planets at a retrograde inclination of 175 degrees. Its current velocity is around 58 kilometres per second, accelerating to roughly 68 kilometres per second as it nears perihelion on 29 October 2025. The object is enormous: estimates place its nucleus at 46 to 50 kilometres across, while its coma, rich in carbon dioxide and plasma, already spans nearly 700,000 kilometres which is half the diameter of the Sun! This dusty, electrically charged envelope renders this visitor highly active as it interacts with the solar wind and heliospheric currents, particularly during the heightened activity of our current solar maximum.

This trajectory will take it just above Mars in early October, past the asteroid belt, and later toward Jupiter by March 2026. Along the way, it will traverse the electromagnetic environment of the inner planets and their moons, and subtly influence dwarf planets such as Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris. Its plasma tail and ionised gases will interact with solar, ultraviolet and X-ray radiation, expanding and energising the coma, while the gravitational and magnetic fields of the planets will shape its outbound trajectory. Though no physical contact is expected with any planetary body, its presence represents a rare moment of systemic resonance, as interstellar material and electromagnetic energy thread through the solar system over the next few months.

From an astrological perspective, the geo-zenith alignments of this period intensify the already volatile planetary currents. September begins with two eclipses – the solar on the 7th and the lunar on the 18th—priming collective awareness and initiating subtle systemic shifts. We will already be aware that change is in the air. The object’s close passage to Mars coincides with a new moon and a superior conjunction with Earth, amplifying perception and reflection on structural and emotional frameworks. Its perihelion near the Sun acts as an energetic fulcrum, enhancing interactions across the Virgo-Pisces axis, while its outbound movement past Jupiter in March resonates with expansion, insight, and recalibration of broader societal and philosophical patterns. Dwarf planets and inner moons act as secondary nodes in this network, subtly modulating the energetic and astro-magnetic interplay. The world will be so changed – as will we.

3I/ATLAS is not just a celestial visitor but a long-time catalyst, threading the solar system with interstellar energy and interacting with both planetary fields and collective consciousness. Its trajectory and electromagnetic presence provide a unique opportunity to observe the intersection of cosmic physics and geo-zenith astrology, a rare alignment of astronomical and systemic resonance that will unfold over the coming months, leaving subtle yet tangible imprints on both our solar environment and our planetary awareness. We may even get more images and readings from our satellites and telescopes – so keep watching.

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 void moon

The moon the moon
Though the moon has been right out there – all void of course
the Moon is having a party with all the other planets while the sun is out on it’s own

So everything is a communication, a chat
an aspect
a conjunction
pan psychic party it is – Specially the Venus- Jupiter party –
We can have a bit of fun with that -while we watch the chaos around us.
Launch your ships by lunchtime and we can all sail across the milky way
A lucky aspect

Can’t stop thinking about what the stars are up to
Can’t stop thinking about what all the planets are doing – as they sail across the night sky

Look now pre-dawn
The beautiful view before sunup of Venus and Jupiter – close as they are to Sirius
The star of ancient Egypt, the Nile flood, water, agriculture, the fall of kings and emperors.
Love the astrology, love the astronomy, love the mythology –
I love the night sky, the moon, the milky way, the twinkling stars, the meteors as the his across the night
there and there – look –
and the dawn – as stars make way for the colours of the sky and clouds and
Our beautiful sun

Good morning – enjoy the day everyone!

The line up

The pre – dawn sky today is putting on one of its rare processions, I can see Venus and Jupiter in the east as it’s clear today.  Mercury retrogrades at 4° Leo as the Sun shines at 17° Leo. Hovering in Cancer are Venus at 11° and Jupiter near 13°, Saturn and Neptune retrograde at 1°Aries, Uranus sits stubbornly in Taurus, and Pluto is as we know, in Aquarius at 2° – steady, buried transformation at work. Astronomically, it’s a graceful arc of light and shadow stretching across the heavens. Astrologically, it’s a cosmic mirror held up to show us our uneasy reflection. We are at the beginnings of the end of chaos.

Right now the sky is taut like a stretched cable. At local zeniths, the heavyweight players are glaring down: Mars riding high over eastern Ukraine, its angular dominance feeding both military escalation and political brinkmanship. Saturn, stern and unyielding, is pressing from above over parts of East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, correlating with the deepening famine reports and resource conflicts there, from Sudan to Gaza. Neptune looms at zenith over the central Pacific, muddling diplomatic waters and fuelling opaque manoeuvres in maritime disputes.

The tighter the Sun – Venus conjunction in Leo becomes, the more it’s shining a light on the world power theatre – which is becoming increasingly unreal – celebrity distraction meets with authoritarian pageantry – while Pluto’s high point over the western US is digging up more financial rot beneath the already creaking economic scaffolding. Jupiter in Gemini, angular over parts of Central Asia, should be a voice of optimism, but in this current square to Saturn it’s like a motivational speaker at a bankruptcy hearing – loud, cheerful, and slightly delusional. It feels all wrong.

It’s grim, yes. But there’s an outlet forming: Uranus in Taurus is breaking the stalemate, pressing at zenith over parts of South America and southern Africa – regions where grassroots movements are forcing genuine reform and land-use innovation. It’s slow, but it’s real. Mercury, also in Leo, is giving airspace to sharp tongues and quick retorts – this is the week to speak up, but with precision, not volume. Time to say exactly what you think – here come the truth tellers. I hope they will be heard above the general din.


Don’t spiral into depression with the newsfeed. The astrology says you’ll burn out fast if you chase every crisis. We can only handle so much, and we want to be able to do something, we want to feel worth something. Pick one thing you can do, you know what you are good at, and show how you want to care – volunteer, donate, teach, write, plant, repair – add your vote, march, dare to protest. It will all count – and actually do it. The personal becomes the planetary when it’s multiplied. Small acts are the only reason humanity has made it this far. A thousand small acts are also how we’ll claw our way out of this mess.

By the end of August, Mercury’s move into Virgo with Jupiter easing the Saturn clampdown will let the air out of the current ‘crisis-inflation.’ This won’t lead us to instant utopia, but we’ll be able to take a proper breath without choking on the headlines.
Trust me, it get’s better – by the eclipse we will see our way through.

AUGUST 2025 FORECAST

The Truth About August 2025:
There is no sugarcoating this cosmic circus

Let’s get real – August isn’t here to pamper you with soft, fluffy vibes, August is not nice.
The geo-zenith skies are a mess of heavyweight cosmic players squaring off in Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aries, and Pisces.
The universe isn’t asking for polite nods; it’s demanding your raw honesty, your deepest reckonings, and your ability to hold discomfort without running for the hills.

Forget the usual horoscopes that tell you “great things are coming.” August is about tearing down old structures – personal, societal, ancestral – that have overstayed their welcome.
It’s about facing the ancestors’ shadows without wincing and wrestling with the planetary chaos that insists on shaking your foundations.
You’ll be pushed to evolve, or frankly, get stuck in the cosmic mud.

The Way Through?
Hold your boundaries but stay open enough to learn hard lessons.
Do the work, but pace yourself. Physical grounding (yes, gardening or a forest walk, fresh air, no excuses) will be your salvation amid all this mental noise.
A sense of humour is vital, keep it close, even if it’s dark, dry, and sarcastic – because you’ll need it.

The Geo-Zenith Realities:

South America’s southern area and East Africa are focal points of energy – so it will hit you harder if you live there.
Ancestral reckoning and transformation won’t just be personal though, they will be global.
Planets cluster in fire and earth signs, so, dear fire signs – do your best. This is driving themes of deep change, ambition, and emotional purging.
This month’s geo-zenith alignments emphasize confronting trauma, releasing old grief, and stepping into your power even when it feels like the world is collapsing. We all feel that it is.

August 2025 General Reading

Expect tension between your desire to push forward and the reality of what must be let go.
The usual distractions won’t work. Humming loudly with your hands over your ears won’t make it go away.
The planet – and the dwarf planets clustered near the galactic centre – call for radical honesty with yourself and others.
No more dodging the messy stuff.

Your ancestors’ voices whisper through the geo – zenith alignments; their unresolved histories influence your personal and collective landscape.
This is a time for ancestral healing.
It is time for acknowledging what’s been buried and finding new ways to carry your lineage forward without repeating old cycles.

Financially and practically, the landscape looks rocky but not impossible.
There’s potential to solidify new foundations, but only if you keep your feet on the ground and your eyes on your long term goals.

In relationships, expect intensity.
Old patterns may resurface in unexpected ways – time for clearing.
Patience is a luxury, but necessary if you want breakthroughs rather than breakdowns.
patience is key.

Bottom line: August demands grit and grace.
It will test your limits and your resolve. But lean into the discomfort – there is no avoiding it anyway –  and that’s where transformation lives.

Dwarf planets

The ever expanding list of dwarf planets are clustered in four major zones – the kuiper belt, the scattered disk, the Sedna belt and the asteroid belt – gone are the days when the asteroid belt was a big deal in Sci-Fi. Today we can track these celestial bodies and see how their mythological characteristics influence the earth together with the planets. This is a new and fascinating area of astronomical and astrological research. Let’s take a look at some of the data we have. Not all of them have been named, many carry numbers – these of course are not used in astrology as the name gives the resonance we need for interpretation.

1. The Pluto Zone – Inner Kuiper Belt and Plutinos

  • Orbital range: ~30–50 AU from the Sun
  • Defining feature: Locked in a 2:3 orbital resonance with Neptune, like Pluto itself.
  • Key named bodies: Pluto, Orcus, Ixion, Huya, Rhadamanthus, Typhon, Thereus.
  • Role: Shadow processors, karmic underworld archetypes, exposing hidden power structures.

2. The Scattered Disc (Detached or High-Eccentricity Trans-Neptunian Objects)

  • Orbital range: ~30–100+ AU, highly eccentric, often with extreme inclinations.
  • Defining feature: Perturbed by Neptune’s past gravitational interactions; not resonant but still influenced by giant planets.
  • Key named bodies: Eris, Gonggong, Quaoar, Varuna, Salacia, Chaos, Ammonite (newly named).
  • Role: Outer trauma codex, chaotic rebalancing forces, creators and truth-bringers, restoring cosmic order.

3. The Sedna Belt – Detached or Inner Oort Cloud Objects

  • Orbital range: Hundreds to thousands of AU, well beyond Neptune’s influence.
  • Defining feature: Ultra-long orbital periods (thousands of years), possibly shaped by an unknown massive planet or galactic tides.
  • Key named bodies: Sedna, Leleākūhonua, 2012 VP113 (“Biden”), 2004 VN112.
  • Role: Galactic messengers, threshold guardians, awakening forgotten epochs of deep time and ancestral trauma.

4. The Asteroid Belt – Between Mars and Jupiter

  • Orbital range: 2–3.5 AU from the Sun.
  • Defining feature: Inner solar system remnants, many mythic goddess names, some promoted to dwarf planet status (e.g., Ceres).
  • Key named bodies: Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, Juno, Hekate, Isis, Lilith (asteroid form).
  • Role: Feminine principle, sacred law, devotion, soul contracts, balance of human and divine order.

We are still learning the significance of these bodies – but here is a ‘snapshot’ of how they are influencing us today. This snapshot for late July 2025 shows strong concentrations near the southern cone of South America, East Africa, and parts of the Middle East, many dwarf planets and archetypal bodies are currently influencing these geo-zenith points. Many are clustered around Sagittarius-Capricorn and Aries-Pisces zodiac sectors, highlighting themes of transformation, ancestral reckoning, and deep trauma transmutation globally. Of course we still see Pluto as a planet – and the most well known dwarf planets are Sedna, Chiron, Ceres and Eris.

Meteor showers

Meteor showers occur when Earth passes through the orbital debris trails left behind by comets or, less commonly, asteroids. These orbits are vast, elliptical paths around the Sun, some spanning hundreds of millions of kilometres and taking decades, centuries, or even millennia to complete.

In August we get three major meteor showers.
The Perseids from the Comet Swift-Tuttle, which orbits the Sun every 133 years on a long elliptical path stretching from just outside Earth’s orbit to well beyond Pluto.

The Delta Aquariids, believed to come from Comet 96P/Machholz, which has a much shorter orbital period of about 5.2 years, but it is an extreme orbit that brings it very close to the Sun (0.12 AU) and far into the outer solar system (5.9 AU).

The Alpha Capricornids, associated with the inactive comet 169P/NEAT, have a more moderate orbit with a period of about 4.2 years, but their debris has spread widely over time, making for a broader and longer-lasting shower.

These orbits intersect Earth’s path because the comets shed dust and rock as they near the Sun, creating debris trails that linger in space. When Earth moves through these trails, we get meteor showers. The orbits themselves form part of the larger architecture of the solar system, ancient relics of its formation and evolution.

Let’s have a look at them through the Astrology crucible lens

The Southern Delta Aquariids — July 29–30 Peak

Astronomy:
Peaking overnight on 29–30 July, the Southern Delta Aquariids bring up to 20 meteors per hour—swift, silent, and low-radiant streaks. Best seen pre-dawn, especially from the Southern Hemisphere: northern Australia, southern Africa, South America.

Astrology & Geo-Zenith Lens:
This shower beams through the Aquarius-Sagittarius sky path, with zenith influence over the Amazon basin, Southern Africa, and parts of Indonesia—regions currently under strain from fire, water crises, and mining geopolitics. The Aquarian tone pushes for collective solutions, but Pluto’s shadow over these lands intensifies the clash between old systems and emergent voices. Expect whistleblowing, infrastructure cracks, and civil defiance.

Alpha Capricornids — July 30–31 Peak

Astronomy:
This minor shower peaks 30–31 July, sending bright fireballs across southern skies. Only about 5 meteors per hour, but slow and dramatic. Visible globally, best seen from South America, southern Europe, North Africa, and Indonesia.

Astrology & Geo-Zenith Lens:
Capricornid meteors cut through the Capricorn sky dome, lighting up zenith lines across southern Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia. These fireballs arrive amid authoritarian crackdowns and economic tension. Astrologically, this is a Saturn-ruled omen: karma made visible. Fireballs over Greece, Turkey, and Iran suggest judgement day energies for leaders refusing reform. These meteors don’t ask for permission, they declare the end of denial.

The Perseids — August 12–13 Peak

Astronomy:
The Perseids are the main event of the season they are active now through 24 August, peaking early 12–13 August. The brighter ones can be seen even with some moonlight. Visible, especially in Europe, Central Asia, North America, and Japan.

Astrology & Geo-Zenith Lens:
These meteors radiate from Perseus, beneath the Capricorn-Aquarius-Taurus arc, linking global breadbaskets, financial hubs, and ‘war corridors’. The dwarf planets Sedna and Eris are active in Taurus—signalling famine, resource hoarding, and moral testing. This aligns directly with Palestine, Sudan, and parts of Eastern Europe, where the spark of truth or defiance may catch fire. The Moon’s interference mirrors misinformation: bright little and big lies drowning out the quiet, dark truth. But those awake at night will see what others don’t.
