A Weekly Astrological Look Ahead with Soul-Work Journal Prompts, Healing Opportunities, as well as Actionable Steps to Work with the Energy.
Hey Soul Seekers,
The Astrology for August 18th – 24th, isn’t just about observing the energy—it’s about meeting it.
As the Sun moves into Virgo and the first of two potent Virgo New Moons arrives (including September’s Solar Eclipse!), the universe hands us a broom and a blueprint: What outdated systems, stories, or self-criticisms are you ready to sweep away?
But remember Soul Seekers—we’re not doing this alone.
Join me this Saturday, August 23rd at 3pm EST for our first Virgo New Moon Gathering, where we’ll:
- Alchemize this energy into medicine
- Release what no longer aligns
- Rebuild with Virgo’s precision (no ruthless self-judgment allowed)

Now—let’s dive into this week’s astrology.

A Quick Glance Ahead:
Monday August 18th, 2025
* Mercury (Leo) sextile Mars (Libra)
–Mercury in Leo, now fully awake and gaining speed after its retrograde, meets Mars in Libra for a powerful second act. Just four days ago on August 14th, Mars took the lead while Mercury found its footing—but today, the tables turn. With Mercury’s clarity restored, this sextile brings bold ideas paired with strategic action, creating the perfect synergy between Leo’s creative fire and Libra’s diplomatic finesse.
Tuesday August 19th, 2025
* Sun (Leo) trine Chiron Rx (Aries)
-The Sun in Leo forms a fiery trine to Chiron Rx in Aries, igniting a sacred paradox: your wounds aren’t barriers to your brilliance—they’re the very fuel of it. This is your energetic permission slip to stand out, unapologetically. To let your struggles be seen, not as weakness, but as threads in the shared fabric of humanity. We all know the ache of hiding the tender parts. The shame of feeling like an outsider simply for being human. But today invites courage. To stop shrinking, stop editing and shine because of your wounds—not in spite of them. Because you dared to be real and that is radiant.
Friday August 22nd, 2025
* Sun Enters Virgo (until Sept. 22nd)
* Venus (Cancer) square Chiron Rx (Aries)
-The Sun’s entry into Virgo (Aug 22) ignites a fated pivot—where cosmic insight meets grounded action. With two Virgo New Moons (including a Sept 21 Solar Eclipse) and Mercury Retrograde’s echoes in Leo, this is soul-level housekeeping: refining routines while composting the past. A volatile Yod (Sun/Pluto/Saturn-Neptune) and Venus-Chiron square demand radical flexibility—disruptions are divine assignments, and comfort zones are the real chaos.
Saturday August 23rd, 2025
* Virgo New Moon
-This Virgo New Moon on August 23rd isn’t just any lunation—it’s the first of two Virgo New Moons this season, with the second arriving as a Solar Eclipse on September 21st. This rare double activation, paired with the South Node’s presence in Virgo, signals a fated dismantling of outdated systems. Think of it as the universe handing you a energetic broom: sweep away what’s spent, then rebuild with precision.
Sunday August 24th, 2025
* Sun (Virgo) square Uranus (Gemini)
-Astrology for August 24th, the Sun in Virgo squares Uranus in Gemini today—a energetic wake-up call shaking the foundations of how we communicate, serve, and value ourselves. Both ruled by Mercury in Leo, this electrifying aspect demands we ask: Where have I been following outdated rules that keep me small? Virgo’s precision meets Uranus’ rebellion, creating tension between “how it’s always been done” and “how it could be.” This isn’t just about tweaking routines—it’s about liberating yourself from self-imposed criticism that masquerades as “helpful” discipline.
