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 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.

The eye of the storm

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 The Aquarian Full Moon is a critical point for releasing outdated social norms and patterns, and revealing truths about collective and personal identity.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

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

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

It’s a split message and there are mixed energies

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

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

Aquarius August 2025

The Truth About August

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

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

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

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

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

Pisces August 2025

The Truth About August

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

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

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

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

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

Capricorn August 2025

The Truth About August

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

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

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

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

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

Sagittarius August 2025

The Truth About August

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

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

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

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

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

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.
