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 Perseid Meteor Shower

Every year around mid-August, Earth plunges through a stream of debris shed by Comet 109P/Swift–Tuttle. These fragments, mostly no larger than grains of sand, blaze through our atmosphere at around 59 km/s, (that is ‘per second’) becoming the Perseids—one of the most spectacular and reliable annual meteor showers. I have watched for them many times before – I hope it’s a clear night and we can all see them. They are consistent and timely as the Earth’s orbit intersects that cometary trail at nearly the same time and path each year.

Tonight marks the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, with Earth moving through the densest stream of debris from the comet’s tail. These particles ignite in our upper atmosphere, producing up to 100 meteors per hour under ideal conditions – which is spectacular to watch.

But where do we look, I hear you ask? In the constellation Perseus, which lies in the northeastern sky, climbing higher as the night deepens. Instead of staring directly, glance about 40° above the ‘radiant,’ – not directly at the source of the meteors. You can generally see more if you rely on your peripheral vision to catch sight of more meteors across the sky

It’s a cosmic reminder that even dust carries the tale of the ancient wanderers of space, reflected in dazzling, brilliant streaks of light across our skies. So wonder at the wanderer

This celestial spectacle repeats every August because Earth’s orbit reliably intersects the same cometary dust stream – every year unchanged across centuries. The com­et itself loops past Earth about every 133 years; its next close return is estimated in 2126
Lets look up at the marvellous meteor showers tonight – to remind ourselves we live on a planet in space.

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.

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.

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.

Gemini August 2025

The Truth About August

Gemini, August is the month when your infamous duality gets an extreme cosmic spotlight – no hiding behind witty chatter or shiny distractions this time. Your geo-zenith sky is packed with dwarf planets and archetypal bodies clustering around your communication and thought zones, including Orcus and Quaoar, stirring some deep-seated mental upheaval.

Expect your mind to feel like a stormy newsroom, breaking headlines and conspiracy theories all at once. This is not a time for half-baked ideas or surface-level thinking. The cosmos demands you dive into uncomfortable truths, especially around your inner conflicts, sibling or neighbour relationships, and the stories you tell yourself to stay sane.

Your charm and quicksilver intellect remain your best weapons, but beware: this month also tests your integrity. Venus and Mercury’s tricky dance suggests some misinformation or misunderstandings may fly around like airborne viruses – sniff them out, fact-check ruthlessly, or risk getting infected.

On the emotional front, the double-edged sword of your heart swings wildly. You may feel torn between staying safe in familiar social circles and chasing new, potentially risky connections. Deep ancestral themes hit your solar third house, implying that unresolved family patterns around communication and trust could bubble up. Don’t brush these off as “just a phase.”

The takeaway: Gemini, if your brain were a browser, it’s running 37 tabs – and you forgot which one’s playing the podcast. Time to close the gossip window and focus before you accidentally spill tea all over yourself.
