ASTROLOGY NEWSLETTER AUGUST 1- AUGUST 15, 2025
Everything is connected. We are connected to everything.
We are reaching the end of a cycle. One that may feel like it is urging us to overdo, to push, to tie up every last loose end. But during this period, rather than fixating on what must go or what needs to end, give your attention to what you want to endure. Focus your energy on what your heart truly desires. What do you want to carry with you into the next season of life?
The Full Moon is at 17 degrees of Aquarius on August 9th at 12:54 AM PST. This Full Moon is the great initiator. It asks us to reflect on what we are planting now. Vision of a better future begins in the now. A strong sense of community, connection, and collective purpose is in the air. Open yourself to the support you may need to realize your goals. There is no need to go it alone. Everything is connected and we are all connected to everything.
In your meditations, open yourself to the energies of the Unknown. Let it speak to you. What is this Full Moon illuminating in you? What truths are surfacing? What parts of you are asking to be accepted or integrated? Let it all come forward. Let it all be seen. Extend your love to it all.
Aquarius teaches us about freedom, independence, the future, networks, connections, truth, justice, and deep, unconditional love. It reminds us that transformation begins when we choose authenticity over approval, vision over fear, and humanity over ego, over wars.
Mercury Retrograde is drawing to a close on August 11 at 12:30 AM PST after moving backward through Leo since mid-July. Just before its conclusion, Mercury aligns with the Sun on July 31, a moment astrologers call cazimi. It is a window of clarity where insight, truth, and expression can come into focus. This is a potent time to speak from the heart, to reconnect honestly, or to receive a spark of inspiration that guides your next step.
As Mercury moves forward again, the Leo energy asks what have you learned about who you are and how will you express it now?
So speak of love. Speak of life. Speak of joy. Choose peace in your body, in your mind, and in your spirit. Align yourself with your heart. Time is all we really have. Spend it with those you love and those things you love to do.
Be good. Spread good. And good will return to you.
Thank you.
ASTROLOGICAL SUN AND RISING SIGNS
Aries
This Full Moon brings a moment of clarity around the people and visions you want to build your future with. There may be an urge to break free from what feels limiting or outdated. Let this be a time to reconnect with what feels alive, progressive, and truly aligned with your spirit. You do not have to do it all alone. Slow down. See the moments. Let support in.
As Mercury’s retrograde chapter closes, your voice begins to feel stronger again. Words come easier. You may find yourself ready to say the thing you have been holding back or to rework an idea that once felt too tangled to express. Write it out. Journal it. Let your thoughts reorganize, not for perfection, but for truth.
Taurus
This Full Moon stirs something within you about your purpose, what you are here to do, and how you want to be seen. If you have been questioning your path or feeling like something needed to shift, this is a natural time for those realizations to surface. Let go of old definitions of success that no longer fit. You are allowed to evolve.
As Mercury moves forward again, the pressure begins to ease around certain emotional or family-related conversations. If you have been revisiting the past, questioning your foundations, or searching for peace inside your own heart, this turning point helps soften the edges. Forgive yourself, other will follow. Give yourself the space to feel what is real without needing to fix it all at once.
Gemini
This Full Moon brings a spark of expansion, an urge to think bigger, move differently, or release a belief that has kept you boxed in. It is a time to trust your curiosity and question the old stories that no longer hold truth. You are ready to grow beyond the borders you once thought were permanent. Allow yourself to expand. Your capacity is much bigger than you can imagine.
With Mercury now easing out of retrograde, allow your inner dialogue to shift. What once felt confusing or hard to articulate might now feel simpler and more direct. This is a moment for honest conversations with yourself and others. Say what matters. Speak from the heart and let your words reflect what you have learned.
Cancer
This Full Moon you can release the old stories of entanglements, emotional, energetic, or relational, that no longer serve the version of you you are becoming. Something hidden may come to the surface, and while that can feel intense, it also is a doorway to freedom. Let this be a turning point in how you share yourself with others and how deeply you can allow yourself to be seen.
As Mercury’s retrograde ends, the fog begins to lift around a decision or conversation you have been replaying. Whether it is about your needs, your values, or your worth, clarity returns not through logic alone but by listening to your heart. Have the courage to speak. Speak gently and clearly. You are allowed to ask for what you need.
Leo
This Full Moon shines a spotlight on your closest connections. It is a time to reflect on how balanced your relationships feel, where there is harmony, and where there may be pressure or misalignment. Do not be afraid to advocate for more freedom or space if that is what you need. Connection does not mean compromise of self. Reminding yourself of the importance of healthy boundaries.
With Mercury wrapping up its retrograde, you may feel a shift in how you are perceived and how you perceive yourself. If your confidence felt shaky or your voice was unclear, this moment brings a sense of return. You are allowed to redefine yourself. Let your words match who you are becoming, not who you have been. You are worthy.
Virgo
This Full Moon nudges you to pause and check in with your energy. If you have been running on empty or pushing through your bandwidth, consider what rhythms and routines actually sustain you. It may be time to release habits and relationships that drain you, even the ones that once felt necessary. Choose grace over force.
Now that Mercury is turning a corner, your inner world may feel less noisy. Quiet realizations rise to the surface. Meditate more now. Things that did not make sense a week ago might start to click into place. Be patient as everything unfolds. You do not need all the answers at once, trust the self and trust the one that is arriving now.
Libra
This Full Moon is a reminder to reconnect with what lights you up. You may feel a pull toward joy, creativity, or a deeper sense of play, and just as easily feel the weight of what has been blocking it. Let this be a time to release fear around expressing yourself fully. Your joy matters. Your voice matters. Let it be heard.
As Mercury wraps up its retrograde, a social situation or dynamic that felt unclear may start to shift. Conversations gain traction. Misunderstandings begin to soften. If you have been waiting to reconnect or clarify something with a friend or collaborator, the path forward may feel more open now. Reach out gently and truthfully.
Scorpio
This Full Moon touches your emotional center, calling you to tend to your inner world. Old memories or patterns may rise, asking for acknowledgment. Instead of pushing them away, ask what they want, what they want you to know. You are not meant to carry it all, especially not alone. There is strength in softening.
As Mercury turns forward, a fog lifts around work, direction, or identity. Something you have been trying to name or define is slowly becoming clearer. Be open to seeing yourself differently than before. Allow newness to take form. This is not about being right. It is about being you. Let your next steps come from a place of deeper self-trust.
Sagittarius
This Full Moon may bring a shift in how you communicate and connect. If your words have felt stuck, this is a chance to clear the air or simply speak more from your truth. A meaningful insight or message may arrive from an unexpected source or a friend. Listen with your whole being. Say what matters to you.
With Mercury’s retrograde cycle winding down, your mind begins to quiet enough to catch up with your spirit. A new perspective is forming, about your path, your beliefs, or even how you see the world. Let your vision to adjust. Allow your world to change. What felt lost is not gone. It is just returning in a different form. Love is the answer.
Capricorn
This Full Moon invites you to reflect on what you value, materially, emotionally, and energetically. Something you have been holding onto may feel ready to shift, especially if it no longer reflects your self-worth. Do you know your self-worth? Let this be a moment to release what weighs you down and make space for what truly nourishes you. Allow your heart to guide you to your self-worth.
As Mercury moves forward, the emotional layers of the past few weeks begin to settle. You’ve been tired. A complicated situation involving trust or shared responsibilities, may finally soften. The insight you have gained can now take shape in how you communicate your needs. Quiet strength speaks volumes. Rest and reset.
Aquarius
This is your Full Moon. A chapter is turning. Something within you is coming into sharper focus, your identity, your vision, or the next version of yourself. Let go of the roles or patterns that no longer reflect who you truly are. Those are old stories. You do not need to explain your transformation. Just live it. And live it up.
With Mercury’s retrograde cycle ending, the pressure to define or fix things in your relationships may begin to ease. Work stresses will ease up. Conversations gain clarity, and misunderstandings can finally be cleared. Let your heart speak honestly and without performance. The right people will hear you.
Pisces
This Full Moon calls you inward. There is something sacred about stillness right now, and this lunation reminds you that insight does not always come from doing. It comes from being in stillness. Make space for rest, reflection, and healing. Let your intuition lead. You do not need to know where you are going, your intuition know the way.
As Mercury finds its way out of retrograde, the day-to-day may start to feel less scattered. If things have felt out of sync, your thoughts, your body, your focus, this turning point offers a gentle realignment. Go slow. Reconnect with what grounds you. Deepen the relationships that serve you, that lift you. Clarity will come through rhythm, not urgency. Find what feels good.
