The Earth and Stars: 14 August – 10 September 2025
ASTROLOGY
The moon will conjoin Uranus in early degrees of the mutable air sign Gemini on August 16, activating the upcoming Uranus and Pluto trine which will be exact on August 20. A harmonious transit between two outer planets, this trine has been known to bring full-swing societal changes throughout history.
This transit will be an energy in which we marinate for years, amplified by a sextile to Neptune in the fire sign Aries with outer planets in air signs. Themes of communication, technology, and transformation are thick topics and worthy of discussion; already AI has blurred the line between reality and illusion — making in-person communication, meditation, and heart-centered connection more important now than ever.
The sun enters Virgo Aug. 22 with a new moon, with both the sun and moon at the significant initiation point of 0 degrees Virgo.
New moons are times for setting new intentions, and it will be especially potent with this alignment. Mars in Libra will square with Jupiter in Cancer on September 4, offering an opportunity for a positive check-in on relationships, home life, and the balance between them. September 7 is a total lunar eclipse in Pisces, which, although not visible from our area, will be a powerful time of reset for all.
NATURAL MAGIC
For the collective reshaping of thought and reality that Uranus and Pluto will bring, consider creating an altar to honor the air element. For your altar, collect objects that represent ‘air’ — a feather, a bell, bubbles, a dream catcher, a wand, or a wind instrument all work well. Visit the altar daily, saying the invocation (or something similar) of, “Air Spirit, please help my breath to flow deeply and my mind to stay clear as the winds of change move freely through me.”
Adding breath work in a ‘4-count in,’ ‘4-count hold,’ and ‘4-count out’ flows beautifully.
Further, for the Pisces full moon eclipse, a ritual bath would help support the release that this lunation offers. An infusion of the herb butterfly pea makes a blue water that you can add to the bath, along with your favorite fresh flowers. Light a candle, set the intention to let go of your fears, and enjoy the nourishment of a sacred bath during the full moon eclipse.
