Sunshine and shadow
Venus enters Leo This week (August 25, 2025, 9:27 pm PDT), until September 19. Venus transits, let us check our own value. In the physical world, do we bring fun? Who are the people we cherish and what makes our relationship successful in our eyes? When Venus is in Leo, the stone sound test is something or someone that makes us feel valuable, attractive and respected. We will decorate our own clothes so that we feel, go out with our romantic partners, we are proud to be able to meet until dawn and need royal treatment.
When Venus is in Leo, we usually share our hearts, hospitality, and generosity through big gestures. Leo Venus wants to pick up her closest friend in a limousine and have supper with champagne in a fancy restaurant.
It’s the sunny, life attitude of Venus – but this week will make heavy planets a lot of important aspects, which brings many shadows to the Leo sunshine.
Sweet and serious
Venus Trines Saturn This week (August 25, 2025, 5:56 pm pdt at 00º25′ Leo and Aries). The trine line between Venus and Saturn is sweet in itself, but not in the way of Venus’ triangular Jupiter or even Neptune. These connections have a softer quality. Things tend to get worse when Venus, a planet of relationships and feelings, fun and appreciation of the beauty of life merges with Saturn. But this is not necessarily a bad thing.
Maybe you are in a relationship situation, and now you are very serious. Maybe you are willing to make a commitment to someone. It may be romantic, but it may also be a friendship with someone you prefer to trust, rely on and talk to.
Venus is also a financial planet, and when it was linked to Saturn, especially one third, it might be time to make a financial commitment. You may be ready to take on a mortgage, or just sit down and take a look at your financial future with an honest look. Saturn can be your best financial advisor.
New spices for dishes
A musician has been working on new works for weeks. sounds good. It reflects her signature style. It says more or less what she wants to say. But this lacks… something. It has triumphs, but flat, like a dish that requires some spices and you can’t put your finger on. She can play the piece in a club full of fans and it will be warmly welcomed. Only she will know what is missing.
One afternoon, a friend called her and invited her to lunch. This friend always makes her laugh and has a way to induce her to try new things. They met in a new place he suggested. Food was new to her, but her friends recommended the perfect dish – fresh, lively, exotic. He entertained her with stories, and her joy for food was filled with laughter on her belly.
She returned home to refresh, full of energy, headed straight to her studio. She adjusted her work with a small new element, and that’s what was missing. It only took a few hours, laughing with a new friend for a few hours, like the perfect spice that makes the dish come alive.
When the genius Venus in Leo is connected with Uranus in the lively sixth (August 26, 2025, 1:58 pm PDT)take advantage of the new things provided. Changing a small element of the day can make your sense of happiness and creativity and how you share it differently.
A familiar formula
On the same day Venus enters Neptune (August 26, 2025, 3:18 pm PDT, 1º29’LEO-ARIES), it’s a lovely aspect that makes everything shine in the lovely haze for a few days; and a Oppose Pluto (August 26, 2025, 10:54 pm PDT, 1º51’Leo-Aquarius), a wakeful call to cold, hard reality.
If you’ve ever been crazy about falling in love with someone who is bad for you (actually someone who has a destructive impact on your life), this formula will be familiar. Someone (or something) looks like the answer to all your prayers and can make everything in your life look beautiful. And then…he drank too much, she stole it from you, he cheated with your best friend, she ended up living in your car. But, it’s hard to walk away… because “I’m in love.”
Venus Trine reminds us that seeing things as beauty is a gift. But Venus opposes Pluto’s point out that seeing things is another gift even if they don’t always feel good.
Stay in touch
Today, we worry about technology, but changes in technology can be inspiring. When I write on a computer, I can untie it by pulling out a pen and paper. For some time, I had an old portable typewriter that unbuttoned another compartment in the writer’s brain. Even texting emphasizes my clever side.
From one technology to another, part of me is part of the creator. I think Neptune is my muse, the planet that accumulates thoughts and feelings, nostalgia and dreams, and then rely on me to put them in some order. In the same way, I used to fantasize that another guitar would make my songs better, and sometimes I hope that switching to another technique would open up new possibilities in my writing. I wonder how Uranus guides inspiration.
Uranus six molecules Neptune This week (August 28, 2025, 5:14 pm PDT, 1º26’GEMINI and ARIES), it is the first of five such aspects between now and June 2027 and the first major aspect since the combination in 1993. At that time, the World Wide Web became accessible outside of its military and academic uses and changed the way we communicate and connect immediately.
Today, from pen and paper to typewriters to word processors the same way, and websites change creative expression and interpersonal communication with epic combinations, AI offers new possibilities in one-sixth of the situation.
AI is controversial. Some absolutely object to any form. Others appreciate its load reduction, making it much easier from forming a copy of an ad or drafting witty notes into troubled neighbors.
But while Uranus Trine Pluto in the air signs makes the technology feel inevitable, the aspect they do with Neptune is one in six, and feels more optional. Of course, if we choose, we can put our creativity on the robot. But if what we want to do is share our souls, not just shorten workdays.
Over the next two years, Uranus’s sixths will bring us new ways to share information and creativity and connect with others. That doesn’t have to be bad. But it depends on us humans stay connected with who we are and what we have to say and tend toward something thick.
New reasons and more
In high school, I flew on a plane for the first time. Over the years, I have been on numerous road trips with my family and I am used to the slow pace of travel. This is my first experience covering territory in two hours and it will take several days.
No doubt, road trips are a bit good. You get intimacy before the fascinating terrain of the 1960s and 70s, and every city and town in the United States looks very similar. You taste every inch of the journey. I missed the flight. However, by flying, your vision increases dramatically.
Sometimes, making a bigger life for ourselves requires us to let go of some precious details every mile so that we can cover new ground and even more. this The first quarter moon (August 30, 2025, pdt, 8º07’SagittariusPDT) Punch the sun down to the ground, the tail in front of you Virgo and Sagittarius’ moon and its wider footage. Taking a leap of faith can be frightening. But if you focus on the details and plan carefully, it’s time to believe that you’re ready to jump on the plane and fly to the future.
