On September 1st, retrograde Saturn returns to Pisces, and will finish up its transit of Pisces by February 13th, 2026. Saturn turned retrograde while still in the sign of Aries on July 13th, 2025. On September 1st, while retrograde, Saturn returns to the sign of Pisces–one last visit before moving on. On November 27th, Saturn will end its retrograde and turn direct.
This is a time for assessing whether our systems are working regarding how we manage our down time, approach spirituality, and exercise compassion, and from September 1st to February 13th, we may be tying up loose ends in this regard.
On September 3rd, Jupiter forms a trine with the True North Node of the Moon, pointing to a willingness to grow, learn, improve, and develop, moving past our fears. We are ready to embrace new methods and attitudes, leaving behind those no longer serving our growth. Jupiter encourages us to embrace our visions, and its trine to the North Node helps us balance our vision with our intuition. Our conscience is well-developed, and we want to help others. We’re more inclined than usual to believe in the power of the group.
This transit increases our desire to connect with like-minded people or those who can help push us in the direction of growth and improvement. We might form relationships with others who broaden our horizons, expand our minds or worldview, or deepen our personal philosophy. We seek more meaning in life. It’s a fine time for publishing, community involvement, teaching, guiding, and learning. Harmonizing through shared ideas and ideals can figure very strongly at this time.
On the 6th, Uranus turns retrograde, in the sign of Gemini, and will remain retrograde until February 3rd, 2026, although it will return to the sign of Taurus on November 7th. This cycle is a time for a more conservative approach to pursuing our goals. With Uranus retrograde, our desire for change turns inward, prompting us to identify what might be holding us back from living more spontaneously and authentically. This is a less rebellious time. We tend to follow the rules, at least on the surface.
However, as the shift occurs in the surrounding week of the retrograde turn, the Uranian energy becomes heavier and more apparent, leading to some tension. It’s important to remember that this tension is temporary and will ease as we adapt to the directional change.
On September 7th, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs in the sign of Pisces, awakening us to consider our spiritual and emotional wellness. The key to balance lies in identifying and expressing our spiritual needs while maintaining order in our everyday lives. This is the third in a set of eclipses falling along the Virgo-Pisces axis, and this set will continue until February 2027. This Lunar Eclipse can serve as a further prompt, nudge, or push to make improvements in Virgo- and Pisces-ruled areas of life in our charts. Feelings of discontent can magnify.
Occurring close to the time of a Superior Conjunction of the Sun and Mercury, an epiphany, illumination of a matter, or a clearing of the air is likely and significant. We are sharp, communicative, and open at this time, and what we say or write now has a strong impact, for better or worse! An idea or plan can come to full bloom.
On September 21st, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs in Virgo, prompting a fresh start or clean slate. This lunation prompts us to begin anew and promises us opportunities to take charge of our lives by organizing, editing, refining work, and paying better attention to health. It’s a fertile and productive time. We’re ready to take charge of our daily routines, work, or pursuit of wellness.
Occurring in the last degree of the sign of Virgo, there’s an urgency to our new beginnings. This eclipse opposes Saturn and Neptune and harmonizes with Uranus and Pluto. Our responsibilities to others, our emotional health, and our need for downtime can weigh us down. It can be difficult to pull ourselves away, but we have the tools to make the changes we now realize are necessary for growth.
It’s interesting to note that in this Virgo-Pisces set that runs from September 2024 to February 2027, this September Solar Eclipse is the only Solar Eclipse–the rest of the eclipses in this set are Lunar. It’s the fourth eclipse in this sign set. As well, this is the second New Moon in Virgo (a New Moon occurred in Virgo in the first degree on August 23rd).
On August 9th, a Full Moon occurs in the sign of Aquarius, awakening us to the need for others or to answer to humanitarian impulses. This lunation reminds us of our needs for friendship, community, as well as impartiality and objectivity. We cannot lose sight of our larger goals and our need to give back to the community or group that supports us.
Because this lunation occurs around the same time Mars in Libra opposes Saturn and Neptune in Aries, there can be some tension now. With this configuration, a quest for more meaningfulness in our pursuits can be behind some of the stress we feel. There could be a choice about sacrificing something for a cause or a better future. It can be hard to rise to challenges. Our energy is stop-and-go, and we can feel depleted until we not only find inspiration but have a plan to work toward our goals. This Full Moon also occurs with Venus applying to a conjunction with Jupiter, offering us much promise and hope. A desire to enjoy ourselves or grow our relationships can be motivators now. Our need for love and affection runs high.
On August 11th, Mercury turns direct after several weeks of retrograde motion in the sign of Leo. This retrograde cycle began on July 18th midway through the sign of Leo. It’s a time for reviewing our creative or recreational pursuits. We look at projects, items, situations, problems, and even people in new ways. There can be information clogs that push this new perspective–as we wait, we become more resourceful and creative! Mercury turns direct on August 11th, and information unclogs. Mercury will emerge from its post-retrograde shadow on August 25th.
On August 11th, Saturn forms a sextile with Uranus, and this is the second time this outer-planet transit with longer-term influence perfects (the first happened while Saturn and Uranus were in different signs, on April 4th, 2025, and the third will occur on January 20th, 2026) . It’s a time when we’re more likely to be doing what we enjoy and enjoying what we’re doing. Events occurring now build character, and life lessons are digestible. It’s a period of solid, meaningful progress. This can be a time to solidify connections, bond with allies, and work on the primary structures of our lives. The changes we make can have long-lasting benefits. Original ideas may now take form or develop quite successfully. There is an opportunity to combine stability and improvement/excitement with good results. The same can be said about innovation and tradition.
On August 23rd, the New Moon occurs in Virgo, prompting a fresh start or clean slate. This lunation prompts us to begin anew and promises us opportunities to take charge of our lives by organizing, editing, refining work, and paying better attention to health. It’s a fertile and productive time. We’re ready to take charge of our daily routines, work, or pursuit of wellness.
We’re experiencing a period with great potential for raised consciousness as Pluto forms a sextile with Saturn-Neptune, which in turn forms a sextile with Uranus. This New Moon is in challenging aspect to this powerful configuration, which can jolt us back into the need to attend to our work and a routine.
On August 28th, Uranus forms a sextile with Neptune, and this is the first of five in this set (as with many outer-planet transits, this aspect repeats multiple times over the course of many months). We’re seeking (and finding) illumination. It’s a time of more openness to alternative ways of living, believing, and expression. We’re receptive to different or unusual experiences and ideas.
At the same time, we’re averse to any form of force-feeding spirituality or belief systems, preferring our freedom to follow our intuition. It’s a time to reform and update how we express compassion, care for the underprivileged, pursue our dreams, seek escapes, and do art and creativity. However, we can also be more sensitive to stimulants.
On June 25th, the 🌑New Moon occurred in ♋Cancer, prompting a new beginning. This 🌑lunation brought a fresh start to our lives, particularly with our personal lives, families, and domestic worlds. We carry this energy into the month of July. By consciously tuning in to positive ♋Cancer energy, we learn more about ourselves and loved ones. This is a time for feeding our foundation — all of that which we call home, including the foundation we’ve built inside ourselves, needs to be tended to and honored. It’s a time to recognize the importance of our family and our personal circle of friends and the security, sense of belonging, and safety we derive from them.
On July 4th, Neptune turns retrograde, and this shift casts a veil over our practical affairs. There can be a temporary loss of inspiration as we realign our dreams and wishes with what’s inside us. The retrograde cycle itself, which lasts until December 10th this year, suggests a period of taking in, receptiveness, and some indecisiveness. It can be a period of feeling in limbo, but it might also be a time of great inner discovery. This is the first retrograde turn while Neptune is in ♈Aries, although retrograde Neptune will return to ♓Pisces on October 22nd.
On July 7th, Uranus enters ♊Gemini, stirring up our ideas, learning, and communications. This transit revolutionizes our transportation and communication systems and sense of connectedness. There can be great progress and unpredictability during this transit that lasts 7-8 years in the following steps: from July 7th to November 7th, 2025, from April 25th, 2026, to August 3rd, 2032, and then from December 12th, 2032, to May 22nd, 2033.
On July 10th, a 🌕Full Moon occurs in the sign of ♑Capricorn. It brings sudden awareness to our lives, particularly of areas that require more balance. This 🌕lunation reminds us that we can’t ignore our commitments to the outside world. We need to take care of our responsibilities, attend to business, act maturely, and take charge. Solid, practical, and doable ideas are associated with the realizations and epiphanies occurring now.
On July 13th, Saturn turns retrograde, and it will continue to travel in this apparent backward motion until November 27th. While Saturn is retrograde, we more often review our responsibilities and commitments than deal with them directly in the moment. There can be more than the usual experiences of guilt and self-doubt as we internalize fears but also the chance to reassess our commitments. Similarly with Neptune’s retrograde (see above), Saturn starts this retrograde in ♈Aries but returns to the sign of ♓Pisces while retrograde.
On July 18th, Mercury turns retrograde midway through the sign of ♌Leo. This retrograde cycle is strong for reviewing our creative or recreational pursuits. We look at projects, items, situations, problems, and even people in new ways. There can be information clogs that push this new perspective–as we wait, we become more resourceful and creative! Mercury will remain retrograde until August 11th.
On July 24th, the 🌑New Moon occurs in ♌Leo, prompting a fresh start or clean slate. This 🌑lunation prompts us to begin anew, particularly with our creative, romantic, and self-expressive goals. This is a time to uncover and share the things that make us special– our unique, creative powers. We might aim to allow our “inner child” to come out and play, and possibly commit to plans related to games, sports, recreation, speculation, hobbies, children, romance, and dating.
This 🌑lunation very tightly opposes Pluto (forming a partile aspect) and harmonizes with Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. It’s complicated! We can feel pushed out of our comfort zones, which leads to important changes and transformations. Fortunately, we have the insight and fortitude to push through and start anew.
On July 30th, ⚷Chiron turns retrograde, and and will remain retrograde until January 2nd, 2026. This cycle is good for introspection and reassessing the mental and physical health programs in our lives. We tend to look within for healing with ⚷Chiron retrograde.
You benefit from changes in your routine in September, dear Capricorn, and it's a great time to do things just a little differently for refreshment and a new perspective on your life. Investigation or seeking out hidden answers or resources can also be successful. There can be progress, improvement, or excitement in an intimate relationship or with a passion project. A buzz of excitement in your professional life continues, and a bit of competition can motivate you to give a little more to what you’re doing. The result is the upping of your game, and it feels good.
You can enjoy a bit of adventure, share ideas, learn something exciting, or connect with people who inspire and excite you. Non-routine activities or mental journeys can figure strongly — and they can be quite refreshing.
The Full Moon on the 7th is a Lunar Eclipse, and it stirs up feelings from deep within and makes current conditions feel larger than life. Discoveries related to ideas, learning, communications, transportation, and relatives can motivate you to make changes and improvements, particularly if you’ve been living with sub-par conditions or problems in these areas for a while. The need to buckle down and deal with errands, appointments, or deadlines is a strong possibility for, especially since your mind has been somewhere else altogether recently!
This eclipse may bring a learning or transportation matter to a head, and a turning point in your life. New avenues for communicating and commuting can ultimately lead to solid improvements, but for now, it can be a bit chaotic as you adapt to the changes. Try not to be too hasty, both in your movements and with communications, but listen to your heart.
With a Jupiter-Node transit, it's also a good time to expand your mind and connect with others through the mind. Falling in love or developing a friendship through the power of words is not out of the question at this time It can be a time of increased personal meaning and purpose, mainly through your relationships and personal interests. Improved communications and more effort put into self-expression might benefit your relationships.
If you’re teaching, guiding, or otherwise influencing and inspiring others, your enthusiastic presentation invites people to follow your lead, making it a particularly excellent time for promotional or networking activities and otherwise spreading the word.
You more readily accept and enjoy your deeper feelings with Venus in your intimacy sector until the 19th. It's a good time for intimacy and self-understanding. A creative approach to relationships and business can work wonders now. This is a time for naturally drawing success and resources to you.
The Solar Eclipse on the 21st brings desires to expand and grow to a turning point and helps clear the path for new beginnings. In the coming weeks and even months, energy levels smooth out, and you find a fabulous balance between responsibilities and pleasure. Becoming fired up about an idea, belief, topic, or course of study motivates you to pursue a new path. Your hunger may be for more knowledge, experience, or variety, but whatever it is, you instinctively know that you have to stir things up or make changes so that you can find your way. Shared activities can be entertaining and productive.
The 22nd marks a significant shift in energy as the Sun begins its transit of your career and reputation sector, following the move of Mercury into this area of your solar chart on the 18th. But on the 22nd, Mars moves into a sector with very different energy--your social sector--and you're also gearing up to put a dream into action, or your excitement about new ventures begins to build. As such, you have a lot going on in the final quarter of the month. It’s a time to move out of your comfort zone, even in small ways, and create new experiences for yourself. You’re making your own happiness rather than waiting for it to come to you. It feels easier to accomplish things now. Your feelings about (and relationships with) friends can also be more intense.
September features a lot of mixed energies, which can mean you're covering a lot of bases and can feel scattered or torn, but there's also a potential for balancing your life and activities. You’ll be paying particular attention to your need for life experiences and spirited activities, as well as your career, responsibilities, and relationships. You can gain something valuable in all of these areas.
A strong focus on shared resources, debts, support, and self-empowerment is in your forecast for August, dear Capricorn. You'll also be exploring special topics and ideas. Learning and sharing can be in focus. Partnering up can be especially warm and beneficial. You’re in good shape for publishing, promoting, or connecting later this month when the Sun heads into your sector of spirit and the higher mind.
Still, there are some slowdowns to manage. You may feel in limbo while Mercury remains retrograde until the 11th, particularly regarding a financial matter or a connection. Waiting for an answer never feels great, but you have a lot to keep you busy as you wait. You’re returning to old problems with a different attitude and taking care of unfinished business. New insight into a past relationship or your own psyche can be helpful and enlightening. Conversations about intimate or taboo matters can be helpful and unusually creative. You may be drawing conclusions or uncovering clues about a mystery or investigation now.
The month’s energies inspire looking within, and intimate matters can be your primary focus, or you’re more inclined to focus your energy on one or two critical projects. Your interest in bonding with someone special or concentrating on a special activity strengthens. You’re in good shape to get in better touch with your inner power and recognize or build upon support from others.
Certainly, there can be some matters from the past to settle, or some backtracking in these areas, as well as with personal plans and financial affairs. Mercury’s direct motion from the 11th onward signals a turning point. It's possible that a new perspective on money matters or a close relationship can steer you on an improved course. Perhaps you recognize you’ve dwelled too much on a past relationship or problem, and this has unnecessarily weighed you down. You are now feeling the need to move past it and move on.
You can experience a strong need for inner change, transformation, and self-mastery. Your focus turns outward later in the month, but the inner work you do is powerful. It’s a time for observing and processing rather than taking new action.
From the 6th onward, however, Mars transits your career and reputation sector, bringing high energy and ambition, as well as motivation and competitive feelings, to your world. Life path goals, your public life, responsibilities, performance, business affairs, and career matters can awaken, enliven, and animate.
The Full Moon on the 9th can amplify your emotions, especially in relation to business, ownership, or financial matters, as this Full Moon occurs in your resources sector. There may be some scrambling for resources, records, and information, or there can be money (or money news) coming in around this time. This Full Moon falls along an axis that has to do with talents and resources, as well as sexual and intimate relationships, and new feelings or discoveries may revolve around any of these things. Tensions about being dependent on someone’s support or approval can reach a head this month, and a stronger sense of freedom seems to be on offer.
There can be times when you struggle with finding a balance between home and family matters and relationship goals this month. However, it's also a time when being open to different ways to do your everyday life can improve your life all around in significant ways. You’re approaching your everyday affairs and home life with progressiveness, spirit, and practicality, which is a winning combo. It’s a good time to make changes in your home life or with living conditions that reflect well in your work or on your health–and vice versa. Getting organized and disciplined in your domestic world can reflect wonderfully on your work and health pursuits, freeing you up for time to innovate.
Venus in your partnership sector until the 25th is helpful. Relationships, and especially those of the one-on-one variety, can be in focus and successful. This energy provides a great environment for pairing up and enjoying activities with a special person in your life. Even a counseling session can be especially fruitful, as others have something to reveal to you about yourself. You could find yourself on the same or compatible page as a significant other. This can be a good time for attracting a pleasant or helpful person into your life. There can be mutual benefit through others, or you might reach a new level of understanding with someone special.
The last week of the month finds you coming out of your shell, craving more adventure, and clearer about your goals. The Sun moves into your sector of higher learning, spirit, and adventure on the 22nd, and there is more enjoyment in your life as you come to a better balance between work and play. You can feel mentally refreshed as you approach things from a different angle. Warm and positive energy is with you for sharing viewpoints and exploring non-routine topics or activities.
The New Moon on the 23rd can bring some surprises and stir a bit of discontent that sets you on a fresh path. Because you may not learn a better method if you stick too rigidly to a routine or plan, a change now can nudge you in a new direction. Aim to adapt and be as flexible as possible if there are new plans. Still, a lack of organization can hinder your broader goals, and you might resolve to be more prepared next time! If you need more independence and freedom in your work or daily affairs, aim to explore ways to achieve this, but avoid rushing in the meantime. This New Moon encourages you to set your intentions or goals related to expanding your mind and experiences. You might turn a limiting situation that has weighed you down in the past into a powerful motivator for new goals and ambitions.
You're in fine shape for relationships, hobbies, romance, entertainment, and special channels for self-expression in July, dear ♑Capricorn. You dare to express yourself more freely, and your open spirit can bring new opportunities into your life. You're combining your enterprising nature with a slightly bolder approach, bringing in new opportunities.
A major focus this month is your relationships. Sorting out problems and enjoying special moments with people in your life are satisfying activities in their own right, and they can also positively impact various aspects of your life. You also find more joy in your daily life and self-care for much of the month, improving the chances of a well-balanced period.
Venus moves through your work and health sector much of the month (from the 4th to the 30th). It’s a fine time to smooth over problem areas with your daily routines. Social or love opportunities may emerge as you pursue your work or health goals. Most importantly, you’re ready to create a better environment in your everyday life. Enjoying your work, chores, or routines can be in the spotlight. Combining work and play comes naturally and works well for you. There can be the excitement of redesigning or reorganizing your personal space.
Significant changes are on the horizon, affecting your daily life, routines, habits, and work due to Uranus moving into your solar sixth house just days after Venus moves in. You can be excited about new wellness programs that give you a sense of having a new lease on life. The temptation to break out of monotony or other lifeless aspects of a job is intense. Changes in routine can be in the spotlight. This Uranus transit is lengthy, although we're getting only a hint of it this year (from July 7th to November 7th). With this transit, your work, chores, and daily routines can be unpredictable and unusual but also inspiring and exciting. You can bring fresh insight to your work, although you might be impatient with rules and schedules. Daily routines can be chaotic, and your energy and motivation levels tend to fluctuate as you struggle with inspiration.
Ultimately, you are looking for a more authentic expression of yourself through your work and routines, and while it can be a little chaotic for now, you are learning to tap into your “inner genius.” Do your best to keep open to change and current developments regarding your work or health. Staying up-to-date with current developments in your field gives you a distinct advantage. This Uranus transit will kick in more consistently from April 2026 onward, but a preview of this energy begins now.
A personal project or matter reaches a head around the 10th when the 🌕Full Moon occurs in ♑your sign. You can consider this time a personal awakening of sorts, and a significant person in your life or relationship status plays a large role in this. This can even be a situation in which you are motivated to do your best by a competitor or opponent. Observe, take notes, and allow your mind to open. It’s a good time to see yourself through others’ eyes and find ways to bring more balance and harmony to your life in general.
Mercury is either retrograde or in its retrograde shadow all month, so put off new contracts and enterprises, but keep yourself active reviewing and revising, adjusting and tweaking. Pay special attention to information surfacing and new insights into relationships on the 31st. You could be coming to new conclusions about past relationships or reconnecting with a person from your past. There can be a need to take a hard look at both spending and debts this month, or you could be waiting for information that seems clogged temporarily. This energy might manifest on an intimate level, and you may question issues of sharing, fairness, and power dynamics in a partnership, as you can now see significant discrepancies.
Neptune, Saturn, and ⚷Chiron are all visiting your sector of home base, family, and heart, but in July, all three bodies turn retrograde! Some initiatives in these life departments may slow down. Temporarily, until you sort things through, some of your commitments could seem less meaningful, which, by extension, can make them feel more challenging to fulfill. Domestic chores or problems in the family dynamic can weigh heavily on your mind, for example. It’s a time for going within and examining your intentions and frustrations. Pulling back from some projects or dreams can be strategic. Give yourself extra time to think, imagine, and reflect.
Even if some communication channels seem less effective in the second half of the month, the situation can motivate you to find new and creative ways to get your message across.
From the 22nd forward, there can be a surprising or sudden show of support, emotional or financial, or an unanticipated financial matter to manage. The Sun’s move into house eight in your solar chart brings a need for greater depth in your relationships and activities. A 🌑New Moon on the 24th suggests a fresh approach to these matters is now in order. This can be about moving along a new path, but it can also be about putting a mental focus behind you, particularly if you’ve been dwelling on a problem that has drained you of energy and kept you stuck in the past.
It’s also a beautiful time for applying yourself to projects that excite you. You can come into a resource that helps you work through a problem area or reach your goals.
The 30th brings Venus into your partnership sector — a happy placement that boosts your social life for several weeks. You’ll appreciate that your relationships are smooth sailing, allowing you to pursue your worldly or career goals with greater confidence.
September is strong for pouring special attention into your home and personal life, dear Gemini, but it also keeps you well-connected with others and with your creative spirit. There's a special focus on your personal life, recreation, settling in, and seeking peace this month, with a building theme of attention to work and wellness.
Centering yourself can be highly beneficial for you at this time. Relaxing, recreational activities can be appealing and may even be therapeutic now. Home and family life assume bigger proportions in your life. You also tend to gravitate towards projects and activities that have longevity and special meaning. Your attention to domestic concerns runs high, although romantic or creative matters also figure strongly. If you want to improve your household routines, family relationships, or even your relationship with your inner self, this is the month for doing so.
You're also bound to recognize your need to get on top of your career or responsibilities, and as you do, you can enjoy boosts to your sense of abundance, self-esteem, income, security, or comfort. Connecting with people or information that fills you with more confidence can be in the spotlight in the first half of the month.
You may be verbalizing your affections very well now, or there can be a focus on loving chats and sweet talk. It’s also a favorable time for pleasant relationships with siblings or even neighbors. Your conversations are revealing. Actively showing you care, helping others, and lifting people up can be incredibly rewarding.
The Full Moon on the 7th is a Lunar Eclipse, and it can bring a sudden need to attend to outside responsibilities. It’s also a time of strong realizations about career or reputation matters. A work project can culminate, or there’s a scurry of activity on the job or in your public life. This eclipse can certainly challenge excuses to stay out of the limelight or to avoid specific responsibilities! There has been an increased focus on your home and family life lately, but going too far with it means the benefits begin to diminish.
Your personal life and public life shouldn’t be vying against one another, and that’s what the current set of eclipses is helping you to see. It’s all about balance. If you can let things flow instead of pushing for direction, you’ll be able to see this not as a hurdle but a call to see things more clearly.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th gives you a window into your heart when it comes to where you ultimately want to head in your life. People are noticing what you do, but don’t let that idea intimidate you! The truer you are to yourself, the greater the opportunities.
A new start with family, home life, or living conditions and arrangements is in order following prompts from the Solar Eclipse on the 21st. This could mean a fresh perspective on your family dynamics, a new approach to your home environment, or even a change in your living situation. It’s a great time to honor your need for comfort, safety, love, nurturing, and familiarity. Reorganizing can figure strongly, and it can benefit you greatly. A feeling that you’re starting fresh on the domestic front is likely as you advance and take in the energy of this eclipse, perhaps with a new and improved approach to “doing” home life, self-nurturing, filling comfort and safety needs, or connecting with family.
A subtle shift in focus to more creative, sociable, and pleasure-seeking activities occurs this month and intensifies after the 22nd. Different opportunities to enjoy and express yourself emerge. Ideally, you’ve done some anchoring and centering, and you’re now feeling more confident to share yourself. Activities that allow you to have fun, impress, create, and share are a strong draw.
Your need for creative or romantic interactions runs high this month, and you might turn to physical activities or games to release built-up tension. Creative self-expression flows smoothly for the most part.
Also from the 22nd forward, you can be highly motivated to solve problems, manage your everyday life, and get work done. Health and wellness pursuits are a strong draw. You can work longer hours than usual or push harder and more energetically in health and fitness routines–areas of much satisfaction and accomplishment. Pouring your energy into constructive work efforts or self-care programs can help you work through stress.
You’ll find wonderful energy for innovative ideas, projects, and endeavors related to home and/or work as you close out the month. You’re more likely to get the results you want if you embrace change, even if what you’re working so hard for is about making life more secure! You bring more of your personality, intelligence, consideration, and pride to your work and health routines.
Themes of learning, transportation, communications, and daily affairs continue this month, dear Gemini. Still, enjoying your home and personal life more fully can also figure strongly in August. The month is sure to be lively and engaging, offering the perfect balance of busy and quiet moments to keep you feeling comfortably challenged.
Mercury is retrograde in your communications sector until the 11th, and delays or misunderstandings can be notable until then! But while there can be ups and downs and delays to manage, you’ll ultimately get to see which of your projects are genuinely viable and worth your effort. Try your best not to dwell on flaws and problems, and this can be a rewarding period when revisiting past projects or subjects of study can be satisfying. You’ll find that you’re at your most fulfilled when you’re feeling better organized and disciplined.
While Mercury’s retrograde can sometimes muddle communications, in a general sense, you’re generating more warmth and trust with important people in your life. You’re committed to making the most of your talents.
On the 6th, Mars moves into your sector of joy, bringing this fiery and courageous planet into your solar fifth house. It’s a period of extra dynamism, stimulation, and action, particularly in your creative, entertainment, and romantic worlds. This more outgoing cycle brings smoother energy to most of your endeavors, as your direct approach tends to get you results.
While this is generally a time for sticking close to home or familiar settings, around the Full Moon on the 9th, there might be a sudden desire to depart your usual routine or do something more refreshing, meaningful, and life-affirming. It could be about receiving news or a great idea coming to full bloom. Whatever emerges now sets you along a new path regarding your beliefs and attitudes. Something comes to light that changes your perspective and focus, lifting your concerns above and beyond the routine. It can encourage you to look at the big picture or to reach higher and wider. Unmet and unspoken needs can find a platform now. Consider that your needs for variety, independence, and freedom are key, and understanding these things is better than letting them rule your decisions.0
Mercury’s direct turn on the 11th is a boost to clarity. It helps you clear up problems and find the answers you sought to issues raised earlier in the month. You can put some editing work behind you, or you get news that helps move things forward. Rewards come from activities that engage your heart. Your powers of communication, especially your willingness to speak more frankly and openly, heighten your magnetism.
Personal comfort, artistry, aesthetics, decoration, and prized possessions can be in high focus. Home life can be animated at times this month, but the purpose of this is to stir up change rather than to cling to stale or dysfunctional ways of living that are doing nothing for you.
You might experience a stronger drive to enjoy certain freedoms or the fruits of your labor this month. There can be a gift or discovery of a resource that benefits you. This is a good time to gain an overall sense of your next step or move. Before proceeding, consider enjoying some stillness or pausing to appreciate the moment. This pause is just right for you now!
The Sun moves into your home and family sector on the 22nd for a month-long transit that is determined to see you rest and recuperate. It’s also a time for making improvements in your domestic world.
A Sun-Uranus square near the New Moon on the 23rd can mean you’re feeling rebellious, restless, and curious. Resist the urge to react abruptly if your plans aren’t coming together as quickly and efficiently as you’d hoped. Honor your need for a change of scene, then come back fresh. Getting rid of extras and distractions to get a sense of your priorities makes the most sense now. There are times when your inner rebel gets in the way of the calm and peace you seek, and with this New Moon, you might seek ways to combine or answer both of your very valid needs for independence and comfort. Try to recognize those things that could steer you off course. The New Moon promotes a fresh start, bringing take-charge energy to your domestic world.
From the 25th forward, you can find much to enjoy in personal interests, studies, short trips, and making contact with others. It’s a good time for relationships with siblings, classmates, and neighbors.
As you open your heart to new ideas and methods, you let in the positive vibes, and move just a little out of your comfort zone. The urge to break free from limiting conditions is intense now. You are looking to the future, not the past, and the desire to leap into new and unexplored territory is powerful. Your happiness goals fuel your independence. You’re arriving at a healthy balance between realism and spirit or independence. You’re keeping your feet on the ground while exploring your sense of freedom.
At the same time, strengthening energy is with you that helps you enhance friendships and love connections. Use extra boosts of energy and motivation to fix problems, work enthusiastically at your projects or current interests, and look for ways to clear up the clutter in your life. It’s an excellent time for love connections, flirtations, and fun messages with people you care about.
You can enjoy settling in and enjoying yourself in July, dear ♊Gemini, but also building something important to you. Pacing yourself is a wise strategy. You’re more interested in security and long-term endeavors than you are in the excitement of the moment. As such, you have more patience to draw upon, and it’s powerful. Still, you can take active steps to improve your security, home life, and income.
Another theme threading through the month is an increasing need to communicate and connect. Mercury’s retrograde from the 18th forward can introduce some obstacles, however. Minor repairs may be necessary with devices or transportation, for example. You may be reviewing different elements of your life and wondering where things are going. While this phase might lead to some misunderstandings, you’re sure to find alternative ways to express yourself. If you focus on taking care of projects and pursuits that are already underway, this can be a rewarding and enriching period. Efforts made towards editing, revising, refining, and reviving seem well worth your time.
With your ruler, Mercury, either retrograde or in its retrograde shadow all month, this is a month for review. You have the opportunity to do some important backtracking and fine-tuning of plans and projects. Major decision-making and new launches are better saved for clearer times.
Still, it can be a stellar month for putting more faith and confidence in your talents or ability to earn, provide, and contribute. You’re seeking more security and comfort and prepared to take the necessary steps toward these ends. With energetic, assertive Mars in your sector of home and family all month, you're solving problems in your domestic world. Whatever’s dredged up now, handling things will move your life forward in fresh ways. Aim to draw upon the initiative and energy of this Mars transit to get things done! You may uncover buried resentments that can frustrate you enough to motivate you to make changes. You may be defending, rallying for, or motivating family now. Your home life or inner life can be animated, colorful, and busy.
From the 4th to the 30th, Venus visits ♊your sign, and you feel freer, more appreciated, and more interested in enjoying yourself. Personal attraction and positive attention are on your side. You look good, and circumstances frame you nicely. You open yourself to pleasure and love, and your affections are solid and transparent. People notice and want you more than usual, and you appear more approachable and warm. Venus in ♊your sign most of the month encourages confidence in what you have to offer the world.
Just days after Venus enters ♊Gemini, Uranus enters ♊your sign. Since Uranus in ♊Gemini happens only every 84 years or so, it’s a significant event! Mind you, this transit lasts about seven years overall, so you’ll have some time to adjust to this month’s ingress. Plus, Uranus will retreat into the sign of ♉Taurus from November 2025 to April 2026 to finish up there before returning to ♊your sign more consistently. While this important transit will take some time to flesh out, you’ll be feeling some hard-to-ignore stirrings now.
Under this Uranus transit, conditions in your life that have been stifling or confining become hard to tolerate. It’s a time of a personal revolution! Old methods and habits may need to go! You no longer tolerate certain restrictive circumstances.
Despite this, the month holds much potential for getting your bearings in key ways. You are encouraged to slow down, work things out, and build and develop rather than pioneer and innovate. The sooner you accept this kind of pace, the better the rewards will be. There can be a stronger focus on personal finances, possessions, resources, and business.
Around the 🌕Full Moon on the 10th, there can be new information about finances or a reveal of intimate feelings that rocks your world a little, nudging you in a new direction. Revelations related to debts, support, what you owe, and dependencies are meaningful now since they lead to a new perspective.
Neptune, Saturn, and ⚷Chiron are all currently visiting your social sector, and all three bodies turn retrograde this month! Temporarily, you may experience a feeling of heaviness surrounding your obligations and/or a friendship or group. Your mission is to ultimately reconnect with your dreams, possibly refining them to better align with your purposes and current situation.
From the 22nd, you can quite enjoy studying, teaching, and connecting. You’re likely to have many different interests or projects going that excite and motivate you. While life is busy, it feels energizing rather than chaotic to you, especially after the 🌑New Moon on the 24th. It’s a time of increased curiosity, learning, and mental activity. Certainly, Mercury's retrograde can complicate some communications. The impetus is to reach out and communicate more than usual, but obstacles may be in your way. Even so, this cycle encourages you to explore different ideas, learn new things, or develop current studies and interests. It can also be a time for rediscovering an old interest or recognizing that a current project, venture, or personal interest is no longer serving you well.
