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.

November 2025

November 2025 begins as a crucible month: a hot, stormy mix of heightened solar activity, fast-moving inner-planetary drama and slow, grinding structural pressure. The immediate astronomy is clear — the Moon reaches its closest full phase (a super-moon / Beaver Moon) on 5 November, giving the week an amplified emotional tide that will make local and international events feel larger and more urgent than usual. Solar wind and geomagnetic indices remain elevated in the SWPC forecasts, so expect communications noise, intermittent satellite glitches and greater sensitivity in HF/GNSS-reliant systems precisely when high-visibility disclosures and crisis management decisions are being made.

Planetary architecture is busy and consequential. Mars moves into Sagittarius in early November and forms tight contacts with Mercury shortly after (the Mars–Mercury close pairing around 12–13 November), while Mars also makes a sharp aspect to Uranus earlier in the month — a signature for sudden escalations, disruptive revelations and aggressive manoeuvres both in geopolitics and in markets. Mercury’s tricky window (retrograde from about 9–29 November in the later degrees of Sagittarius/Scorpio) means communications, legal text and logistics are likely to be revisited, with the Mars–Mercury conjunction producing combustible talk or rapid policy reversals that later require correction. Meanwhile the slow giants keep pressing: Pluto’s earth-heavy pressure and Uranus’s Taurus agitation continue to target supply chains, ports and commodity lines, while Neptune’s influence from Pisces deepens humanitarian, weather and flood narratives and intensifies the emotional resonance of imagery and testimony.

Sidereal/Vedic placements shift the tone further: in the sidereal zodiac (Lahiri ayanamsa) several outer and inner planets sit roughly one sign “earlier” than tropical positions, which emphasises material and security concerns in Vedic readings for November — a practical, sometimes severe colouring to the month’s events. For operational planning and geo-zenith targeting the most exposed meridians remain those we’ve tracked: the Red Sea / Bab-el-Mandeb and Suez approaches, the Gaza-Mediterranean arc, Black Sea / Kyiv-Crimea shipping lanes and the Pacific humanitarian arc around the Philippines. 3I/ATLAS has just passed perihelion and remains a media and symbolic focal point as it moves outward; while scientifically harmless to Earth, the object provides a timing window for disclosures and theatrical statecraft that actors are already exploiting.

The cumulative forecast for November: expect a sequence of high-visibility incidents (port accidents, naval interdictions, large disclosures), punctuated by rapid policy theatre and fragile humanitarian pauses — each amplified by the super-moon and the Mars–Mercury ignition.
In human terms, November asks for steadiness amidst turbulence. The noise will be loud — fiery rhetoric, volatile markets, restless skies — but beneath it, a quiet reordering is taking place. What breaks apart now was already unstable; what endures will do so because it serves life, not profit or power. Neptune’s pull through Pisces deepens our capacity to feel what others endure — floods, famine, displacement — and that empathy must be turned into practical action, not despair. Mars and Mercury may ignite sharp words, but they also lend courage to speak truth and defend what matters. Let clarity and compassion work together: respond, but do not react. In doing so, you help shape the kind of future that the heavens themselves seem to be demanding — one built on truth, balance, and care for the fragile systems that hold us all.

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 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.

The week 15th – 21st September 2025

The Geo-Zenith forecast for the week of 15–21 September 2025: the week sits inside a tight eclipse season whose mechanical centre is the partial solar eclipse on 21 September. Astronomically that new-moon/eclipse takes place across the South Pacific and registers as a deep partial (greatest eclipse ≈ 19:43–19:55 UTC), so while it will not be widely visible across Europe it nevertheless marks a global nodal reset in the ecliptic that tightens polarities and accelerates endings and new starts. Practically, treat the 21st as a deadline energy: projects, narratives and reputations that have been simmering will either be closed down or forced into a new, visible form around that date.

Above and beneath that focal eclipse you have a distinctly Virgoan foreground: the Sun and Mercury remain in Virgo for this week, emphasising classification, repair and rhetoric that must be serviceable rather than pretty. That placement privileges tidy records, inventories and the practical re-coding of what is useful; Mercury in Virgo will be busy reducing myth to checklist, which makes it an excellent week for editing, publishing clear timelines or compiling evidence rather than chasing grand narratives. Use the Virgoan window to file what the eclipse will later reconfigure; the ephemerides show the Sun and Mercury firmly engaged in Earth-sign work through this interval.

There is an undercurrent of Uranian shock and ancestral imagery leftover from the recent Moon–Pleiades appulse (12 September) and Uranus lingering in the Taurus sector nearby. The literal sky event — the Moon’s close approach to the Pleiades with Uranus in the same patch of Taurus — seeded the collective with sudden recollections or data-drops about lineage, networks and what counts as “home.” In Geo-Zenith terms that combination reads as old loyalties being contacted by an outside intelligence: expect unexpected disclosures about origins, sudden returns of archival material, or technical leaks that reshape how a family or institution tells its story.

How to work with this week: log and date everything you or others publish between the 15th and the 21st and treat the 21st as a cut-off for structural decisions. Keep language precise and auditable — Mercury in Virgo rewards plain records; avoid speculative grandiosity. If something abrupt lands (Uranus-style) don’t treat it as the whole story; file it, cross-check against older records and let the eclipse purge what’s built on poor documentation. For deeper context, the richer, longer-form takes from experienced technical astrologers (the Astrology Podcast and Bernadette Brady’s eclipse analyses) are the kind of sources worth consulting when you want methodical, layered readings rather than headline horoscopes.

To move through this week well: keep a journal; mark the moments of deep insight or discomfort, especially around the middle (17-19) and on the 21st. Before acting, wait for clarity—let the eclipse close the chapter cleanly. Ground yourself through daily rituals, practical service, and honest inner listening. In that space you’ll cross the threshold not just changed, but more truly aligned.

The week of 8–14 September 2025

This week opens in the shadow of a total lunar eclipse, a long and emotionally charged Blood Moon that left its mark across much of the world. Eclipses act as turning points, and this one has surfaced deep reservoirs of feeling—grief, longing, unfinished business—and placed them into the collective arena. The coming days are not about gradual adjustment but about sudden closures, reckonings, and visible acts of care or defiance. The eclipse energy insists that what has been hidden can no longer be ignored.

With the Sun still travelling through Virgo, the attention turns to systems, details, and competence. Expect scrutiny of how institutions, governments, and aid networks respond to crises already unfolding—from natural disasters to conflicts that have left populations displaced. Where systems function, relief and order can be restored swiftly; where they fail, the eclipse magnifies the gap, forcing leaders to answer questions they would rather defer. This is a week when logistics and accountability matter more than rhetoric.

On the geopolitical stage, the eclipse sharpens signals. We may see sudden gestures—temporary ceasefires, humanitarian corridors, symbolic treaties—emerging as leaders attempt to ride the emotional current. Equally, some actors may take advantage of distraction to escalate conflicts. Both patterns are consistent with eclipse energy: revelation, disruption, and the attempt to seize narrative control. Nothing settled this week will be final, but the moves made now will carry weight in the weeks ahead as the solar eclipse and equinox approach.

For individuals, the advice is both practical and simple: act where you can make a tangible difference. Donations, direct aid, or local acts of solidarity will cut through more effectively than abstract words. On a personal level, the eclipse’s charge is best handled through ritual, memory work, and communal spaces that acknowledge both loss and resilience. This week is heavy, but it is also fertile ground for repair—private or public, individual or collective.

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 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.

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.
