August 2025 A Month of Discernment & Daring

Key dates for the upcoming month…

This month moves like a tide, moments of deep stillness giving way to sparks of forward motion.
You’ll feel the pauses. You’ll feel the surges.
Both are sacred. Both are part of inviting you in deeper in order to rise higher, much like the energy of creation.. the ground must be sure-footed in order to rise

August 8th -10th Mars in Virgo Meets Saturn & Neptune in Pisces

These days hold a cosmic tug-of-war.
Mars in Kanya Rashi (Virgo) is your inner strategist — sharpening details, refining routines, burning away stagnation.

But Shani (Saturn) and Neptune in Meena Rashi (Pisces) pull you into quieter waters. Saturn asks for patience. Neptune invites dreams.
It’s not the time for a fight or a leap — it’s a time for slow, grounded tending.
Prepare the soil. Trust that the seeds will know when to grow.

August 9th — Full Moon in Capricorn (Makara Rashi)

The Purnima in Makara rises like a mountain peak, showing you how far you’ve climbed.
Capricorn’s wisdom is discipline, integrity, and honoring the work that got you here.

This Moon hums with the echo of the Lion’s Gate Portal (peaked August 8th) — a powerful moment for manifestation and release.
What you focus on now carries weight.
Choose what you want to see bloom in your reality.
Let the rest fall away like loose stones from your pack.

August 12th — Venus & Jupiter Enter Punarvasu + Mercury Direct

The cosmos exhales.
Shukra (Venus) and Guru (Jupiter) step into Punarvasu Nakshatra — “the return of the light.” It’s soft, nurturing, and expansive.
And on the same day, Budha (Mercury) turns direct, clearing the mental fog.

Connections feel warmer.
Words flow easier.
Inspiration returns.
Say yes to coffee dates, heart talks, and creative play. The light is here. Let it in.

August 17th Sun Enters Leo (Magha Nakshatra)

The Sun steps into its throne Simha Rashi (Leo) and into Magha Nakshatra, the royal star of ancestry and dignity.
This is not just confidence, it’s remembrance.
You are part of a lineage. You carry blessings in your bones.
Stand tall. Lead with love. Let your heart be the crown.

August 22nd-23rd New Moon in Leo with Ketu’s Influence

This Amavasya is not gentle it’s charged, karmic, and potent.
Ketu at the edge of Leo stirs endings that feel written in your soul’s script.

If you’ve been doing the inner work, you may feel the release now, like an exhale you didn’t know you were holding.
This Moon asks you to choose courage over comfort.
Step into the unknown. The path will appear beneath your feet.

A Double Blessing… The Lion’s Roar Twice Over

Leo (Simha Rashi) is ruled by the Sun (Surya), the symbol of soul purpose, authority, and divine light. To have two New Moons here, in close succession, is like receiving a double solar initiation, twice invited to step into your own sovereignty, radiate your unique gifts, and lead with heart-centered courage.

This is not just a fresh start once — it’s a reinforcement of the fire within, an echo calling you deeper into authenticity and creative power. Spiritually, it’s an invitation to burn away doubts and fears and embody your dharma as the conscious creator of your life.

Mars in Virgo, the earthly thread woven all through the Month

Through all these shifts,

Mars stays in Kanya Rashi gifting us grit, precision, and the desire to make things better.
Declutter. Tend to your body.
Make steady progress on what matters most.
Small steps now will carry long echoes.
