August 22: @11:07pm (PT): August 23 @2:07am (ET) NEW MOON in Virgo.
The New Moon is traditionally a good time to begin things, be they projects, jobs, relationships, what ever is new in your life that is begun under a new moon, has a greater chance of success.. Any time from the 22nd to the 24th should be positive for “new beginnings”. The traits of the Moon in Virgo will be “amplified” under the New Moon… Some of us may experience difficulty in staying asleep, or our sleep is restless…

Aspects:
Squares can be challenging, two planets who don’t always get along, friction can develop, a feeling of being challenged by the other… some times we need that challenge to wake us up and get us motivated, great growth is possible, if we are up to the challenge
Opposition, challenging like the sqaure, but not all is lost, the planets are at odds with each other, but that doesn’t mean they can’t come to a compromise, although it may take one over the other to back down before anything can move ahead… Take a deep breath, listen to the other view point, and find the middle ground. If that can’t be done, then maybe it’s just not meant to be, aknowledging that will also “set you free”
Quincunx are frustrating and may require some adjustments/adjusting, they have nothing in common… We may feel forced, pushed or obligated to perform.. may also relate to health issues. Not a great time, just keep reminding yourself it will all be over soon.
Trines are very comfortable aspects, the planets involved are usually of the same element, (Earth, Fire, Water, Air) so they understand each other…trouble happens when comfortable take precedence over doing anything else, this aspect can induce some laziness, great it it’s time for some chilling… if it’s not that time, you may find you have to give yourself a push to get going.
Sextiles are planets that are of the same compatible element, (Fire and Air or Earth and Water) they have differences but totally respect each other.. so they are able to work well together.
Conjunctions are variable, they can be helpful or not depending on the circumstances and the people involved…

August 6 2025:
“Treasure your profound sense of humour,
Honour the ability to laugh amid strife and earthly furor,
When life becomes too intense and you simply need to vent,
Allow your humour to unfold for it is a gift that is heaven sent,
To have the ability to simply laugh at the trials that continually press,
Your laugher then becomes a much needed release from tension and stress”.

August 6th: Venus enters the sign of Libra, Venus rules Libra, so this is very comfy visit for both involved… However, it may mean that some of us catch the shopping bug, shopping for clothes, home decor, perhaps a new hair cut, a visit to the spa… Good time can be had, just don’t spend more than you can afford… and some lovely experiences can be had now.
August 6th: Moon void of course @1:40pm (ET) @10:40am (PT)

August 9th: Moon in Pisces @11:50pm (PT)
August 10th Moon in Pisces @2:50am (ET)
Moon in 2nd Quarter
August 9th @3:55 am(ET) @12:55am (PT) the moon, while still in the last degrees of Aquarius becomes FULL. All of the traits of the moon in Aquarius will be amplified, bigger then usual… take care when it comes to taking risks or being “rebellious” Could be a fantastic time to finish up any technology projects. The Full Moon is the best time to get down to business and finish up all the little chores we may have on the go, of course, we can’t attend to them all, but at least we might be able to get some finished up. Aquarius is ahead of the curve in most things, and is quite capable of doing many things, so this could be a good time for something “new” to come to fruition, that may have been sitting in the back corner for the last little while. There may be a slight Pisces “flavor” to this full moon along with the Aquarius influence.
August 10th: Moon in 3rd quarter
August 10th: Opportune Time @4:53 am (ET) @1:52am (PT) until the moon enters Aries on the 12th: “With Mercury just runing direct, this long OP is great for the arts, mind expansion, and making remarkably good connections, aided by the Venus-Jupiter Conjunction” PB
Apsects on the 10th: Moon in Pisces squares Uranus in Gemini, Quincunx Mars in Libra, Mars in Libra Trines Pluto in Aquarius, Moon in Pisces Quincunx Mercury in Leo, Trines Venus and Jupiter in Cancer.
August 10th: Moon void of Course @11:55pm (PT)
August 11th: Moon void of Course @2:55 am (ET). There is one aspect before the moon goes voc, Moon in Pisces Trines Venus in cancer.
August 11th, NOTE Mercury turns direct @3:30am (ET) @12:30am (PT). However, all will not go smoothly until Mercury has exited it’s storm on August 17th.

All Roads of life in the end inevitably lead you home
It is in truth the paradox of why so many often seek to roam
When you truly understand this beyond the words or phrase
You will recognize the most porfund truth hidden in this earthly maze
You see it matters not which path you finally choose
For in the end there are no right or wrongs and no real win or lose”
