August 2025 Forecast: Four Retrogrades and a New Moon Roar

August is not easing us in gently. Four planets are in retrograde this month. Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, and Chiron are all spinning backward, creating a perfect storm of emotional intensity, spiritual friction, and mental fog. This is not a time for rushing ahead or forcing outcomes. It is a time to pause and reflect. If you feel tired, irritable, or like you are hitting a wall, you are not alone. August will shake loose the things that no longer serve you and expose what you need to heal. This month is less about action and more about awareness.

Mercury remains retrograde until August 11. Expect communication to feel off and plans to go sideways. Conversations may spiral into misunderstandings and old flames may try to slide back into your life. This energy is not about moving forward. It is about reviewing what you missed. Saturn is also in retrograde, pulling focus on boundaries, responsibilities, and long-term structure. It is asking whether your foundation is strong or just familiar. If something feels restrictive, this energy will press on it until you respond with honesty.

Neptune and Chiron retrograding in Aries will dig into your personal story. Neptune blurs the lines between truth and illusion. It can lead to escapism or spiritual confusion. Chiron brings up old wounds around your identity and worth. Together they create the kind of emotional pressure that forces you to look within. This is not surface-level healing. It asks you to sit with what hurts and finally let it move through. The more honest you are with yourself, the more clarity you will gain by the end of the month.

The New Moon in Leo arrives on August 4. This is your reset button. Leo energy is bold, expressive, and proud. This moon encourages you to dream big and show up as your full self. It is the perfect time to set intentions around confidence, creativity, and passion. Ask yourself what lights you up and what you need to release in order to shine. This moon is not here to coddle you. It is here to remind you that even in the middle of chaos, you are still allowed to choose joy and take up space.

Welcome to my Blog This isn’t just a blog. It’s a soul in motion. A place where truth doesn’t wear makeup, and healing doesn’t apologize for the mess.

Then, suddenly, into the wild heart of a woman walking alone but never truly lost. This blog is my voice, fina...

Grace Of God

Many individuals express disbelief in the existence of God or a Higher Power, which prompts the question of why some people manage to survive through extreme challenges. Countless stories of people overcoming serious addictions, life-threatening health conditions, and dangerous encounters seem impossible to explain. For instance, surviving a 20-year battle with addiction, undergoing a heart bypass, or escaping violent situations raises the question of what factors influence survival. Advice given during times of crisis, such as calling on a higher power for help, may seem unconvincing, especially when living through addiction or facing hardships that seem beyond control. Yet, life has a way of teaching important lessons, sometimes in unexpected ways. Individuals may question their own will to survive at certain points. When faced with physical danger, whether from addiction, health complications, or violence, the instinct to survive becomes a powerful force. In such moments, when al...

Letting Go

This year has been challenging for many. The desire to return to normal is strong, but what was once perceived as normal may never exist again. All suffering stems from attachment to people, places, and things. Losing a loved one can take years to overcome, and for some, the grief never truly fades. The world changes that are taking place have made this anguish more difficult to endure, especially among those who lost loved ones to the pandemic. Anger and resistance to what was taking place were the initial responses when the pandemic initially came on the scene. Blame placement was strong, until eventually it became more evident that the anger occurred not from the virus itself but from resistance to the changes that were taking place. The biggest challenge during this period has been to learn to release. Releasing the addiction, the toxic relationships, and the world that one knew. One must be able to trust the Universe and the Source, even when the old world that one knew is bei...
