FULL MOON ASPECTS AUGUST, 2025

We are going to focus on the aspects to the Full Moon we will experience on August 9, 2025. Watch for our post August 6, 2025, for more details on the Full Moon’s energies specifically.

 

The current aspects form a Kite configuration.  See the blue lines (trines and sextiles) in the chart picture included.  Although this configuration does not directly affect the Full Moon’s placement which is at 17° in the sign of Aquarius, this Kite formation will have a profound effect on many because of the tight configuration in the early degrees of several planets.

 

The chart diagram shows the configuration which is in effect for approximately 10 days from August 5 to August 15. The most powerful time will be when the Full Moon is in effect on August 9, 2025.  Anyone having their birthday in or around this date will have this configuration in their Solar Chart. This influence will last approximately one year. Use an orb of about 3° influence.

 

Because of the influence of the Grand Air Trine on this configuration, there is often a hint of good luck, potential for personal growth and opportunities attached to those individuals with this configuration affecting their chart.  This is a powerful placement and can enhance your life’s goals, affect personal relationships, development in many areas (depending on the house positions) and speaks of individual strength because of the added influence of the Opposition (red line in the centre) forming the Kite.

 

The focal planet in our highlighted kite formation is the conjunction between Saturn and Neptune at 1° in the sign of Aries.  Aries’ energies are about personal push and aggressive action because personal change is required.  Saturn suggests that this will likely not be easy, while Neptune suggests that something spiritual or enlightening has potential to enhance the situation and create a needed change that can affect your personal journey towards an awakening of some sort.

 

The Sextiles from Uranus and Pluto are powerful indicators that something needs to change and likely in very dynamic ways.  There might be ego struggles, power implications, a requirement for you to push in a new direction and a strong belief that you can make a difference even if it is only in a minor manner.  Some individuals can make major changes, especially those in positions of power, because, don’t forget, this configuration creates energies affecting everyone worldwide who have these planets making contact especially in the early degrees.  The configuration is a very tight one (close in aspect to one another) and suggests urgency and a powerful impact.

 

The Opposition between Saturn/Neptune and Mars is the driving force behind what unfolds.  In many cases, the highlighted Kite, although offering some favorable outcomes because of the opposition especially from Mars, there is potential for disruption and power struggles.  The final outcome is likely to take some time to come together, and we will have to be patient. Patience, however, is not normal when Aries and Mars are involved.

 

Change is due, and we all know this is true.

 

The Full Moon aspects in August, 2025, are unique forming two kite formations. Use these energies to create the change that you need and create something of value on a personal level. Hopefully, leaders throughout the world will respond in kind and make beneficial changes as well.   

 

You will also note that there is a kite formation involving Mercury which is not part of the highlighted lines in our picture.  Mercury will help with decision making in the second kite formation.  Because of Mercury’s opposition to Pluto, transformations are powerfully indicated.

URANUS SEXTILE NATAL NORTH NODE

Transiting Uranus entered the sign of Gemini on July 7th, 2025, and due to retrograde motion, will have its final stay in Taurus from November 8th, 2025, through April 26th, 2026. Those with their North Node in Aries or in Leo will experience a Sextile from transiting Uranus to their North Node. 

 

The Transit of Uranus takes about 7 years to move through each astrological sign, so over approximately the next 7-8 years, Uranus will Sextile all those with their North Node in these two signs.  It will also trine the South Node’s position for those with their Nodes in the positions set out here.  (NN-Aries, SN-Libra, NN-Leo, SN-Aquarius).

 

Uranus, known for its free-thinking, original and often eccentric behavior, will be comfortable in the sign of Gemini, as Gemini is also a freethinker. Gemini can be original and has been known to act eccentrically and in its own manner.  Deep evolutionary thinking will most certainly be part of the process while Uranus is in Gemini.  Hopefully the humanitarian link of Uranus will have a kinder, more gentle expression while moving through Gemini.

 

In brief, (you can find greater detailed accounts at www.holmastrology.com), Aries North Node suggests that in this life you must stand on your own, working on private enterprises and self-development.  You are not to rely on others in your ventures and you need to address anything that stands in the way of progress or self-denial. 

 

With a North Node in Leo, you are here in a similar fashion, although you will likely not work on your own, but welcome others into your plans for achievement and you will gain recognition for your effort. 

 

Uranus will likely provide outlets that will assist in whatever adventure you are involved with and will also offer insight into any change that needs to take place to move in a certain direction where advancement is essential.  Uranus will provide the push, and sometimes in unexpected ways or in sudden eye-opening experiences, because you need to move out of complacency and address anything that requires your attention.

 

Sextiles are opportunity aspects but, in most cases, they require you to push forward and take the initiative.  Both Aries and Leo have no problem with taking the initiative, especially Aries, but it will be important to realize that you should think before you jump and that the moves you make will enhance life down the road provided you are working under the right conditions.  The other transiting planets in your chart will give you more insight into how your ventures may unfold.

 

With Uranus sextile natal North Node, think before you act. Do not act on impulse and know that generally these energies will take you exactly where you need to go but effort on your part is required. 

 

As a matter of fact, this Astrologer believes that we always go where we are meant to go regardless of what that might look like.  Advancement is part of human nature, and we are here primarily to learn from our actions.

THE CONQUEST OF SELF

Conquest or perhaps mastery might be a better definition of our focus today.

 

Our awakening can be a tedious process unlocking and facing hidden facets of ourselves.  Remember, however, no one is perfect!  The more we experience life, the most we can accept this.

 

Many of us spend too much time analyzing what is wrong with those around us and do not pay attention to what needs revamping within ourselves.

 

We must remain open and compassionate on how we view others.  We have not walked an inch in their shoes. 

 

In reviewing ourselves, we will find traits that are not pleasing to us or to those around us.  Why had we not seen these traits before?

 

How can we be blind to parts of ourselves?

 

The answers to these questions are not nearly as important as the importance of recognizing our true selves and seeking solutions to tweak, if necessary, what has been revealed. Today, we are not the same person as we were yesterday. Let go of the past and embrace the now. Be kind to yourself, and forgiving for that matter.

 

It is irrelevant what others think of us, but self-awareness is essential.

 

During these evolutionary periods, it will be important not only to take heed to our realizations but to act on them. What good is knowledge if not utilized?

 

Remember, however, to also take note of our pleasing attributes as they too must be recognized and celebrated.  Some things will need adjustments; other things are perfect the way they are. 

 

The conquest of self includes an honest and whole-hearted inner examination.  This will reveal what we need to know so we can move forward in gratitude and make changes where needed, no matter how difficult it may be. Commit to your evolution. Allow the real you to surface (as what we want is already a part of us). We would not be aware of these wishes or traits if they did not already exist.

SATURN TRINE NATAL JUPITER

Although when Saturn makes an aspect in your Natal Chart it is usually an indicator of challenges on some level, when it makes a Trine (and especially with Jupiter) there can be opportunities for stability, structure and reliability. 

 

Although hard work is part of the equation, Jupiter tends to alleviate some of the struggles that are associated with Saturn. This can be especially true if Saturn while in transit has been making challenging aspects to other areas of your Natal chart for some time.  Jupiter can bring an end to these difficulties, especially if you have been working diligently at whatever Saturn has been calling for (as indicated in your chart). Jupiter can bring expansion, more favorable conditions and an easier flow as it receives contact from Saturn through the Trine.

 

There may, however, be a feeling of questioning whether or not you should be moving ahead perhaps leaving something behind which has served its purpose, but you have outgrown. 

 

There will be a feeling of stopping and going with these energies and potential worries that things might not pan out as you want them to turn out.  You may worry about the consequence of the change that is contemplated and feel perhaps it is better to not make the change and stay the course.

 

Much will depend on where Natal Jupiter is situated by house position and by natal planetary alignments in your chart. 

 

If, for example, natal Jupiter is in the fourth house in your birth chart, good luck and growth on some level is indicated within the family and the home as it is touched by other transits.  When Saturn hits this position and by Trine such as in our post example, we may decide to buy a home or rent a house for the first time. To build on this example, if transiting Saturn is in the seventh house, then a relationship of significance could be behind the push at this time.  Perhaps a new relationship is forming, and you decide to move in together or it may be an ongoing relationship which has had its difficulties is now nearing its end.

 

Another example, if Saturn is transiting through the second house and Natal Jupiter is still in the fourth house then there may have been financial difficulties prior to this aspect and things might be getting better or stabilizing as Saturn trines natal Jupiter. This could also be related to the home or family. 

 

A full review of the conditions within the Natal chart and with Transits will provide you with a more detailed summary of what may take place under this transit.

 

Saturn trine natal Jupiter will push you to build a new foundation and teach life lessons that will come easier due to Jupiter’s influence. Should you step out of your comfort zone or stay the course? Saturn insists on structure and stability.

LIFE MARCHES ON

Life experiences never cease to amaze.  Our journey bends and curves, has valleys and mountains offering great insights and experiences.  The experiences can be extreme, both up and down, but always moving forward even when we do not feel we the progress. At times it feels one step forward, two steps back. 

 

The voyage of life is our greatest teacher with guiding forces steering us as we venture forth. 

 

We are never alone, although at times it certainly feels that way.  We are surrounded by past family elders, current family members, friends and guides assisting us.

 

Life can be difficult at times pushing us into lessons we rather not have to experience, and we often question why things happen to us or to seemly other helpless individuals.  It is hard to rationalize through our earthy minds.  There are many things we simply do not understand. We cannot conceive because we are humans with limited concepts.  We think in human terms and cannot see the bigger picture. This is so apparent during the difficult lessons.

 

No matter what, life continues, even after our passing. Energy is perpetual so in some form or another we carry on, maybe even in a more engaged manner. 

 

All too often, some dwell on the negative experiences and forget to acknowledge and appreciate the good experiences. Let’s change that and make a conscious effort to review both the hard and the easy lessons we experience in life and then release and allow.

 

Life marches on. Our focus enhances whatever we concentrate on. With practice we can learn gratitude not a “why-me” attitude.  It takes work. There is no denying that but if you are persistent you will see the fruits of your labor.

FORECAST FOR SUN IN LEO, 2025

We posted information on the Sun in Leo on July 21.  See our post at: https://www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-leo-2025

 

Today, we will look at some of the influences on Sun in Leo for the next year.

 

From late March, 2025 to late October (with a brief visit retrograded back into Pisces from October 22, 2025 to January 26, 2026), transiting Neptune will be in the sign of Aries. Neptune will make a Trine for those with their Sun sign in the early degrees of Leo.  You can give an orb of about 5° to feel the energies of this aspect in your birth chart and into your life’s experience.  The houses where the Sun and Neptune are located in your chart will play a significant role in what is unfolding over time.

 

For those that are connected to the spiritual realm, the influence of Neptune with your Sun can play a big part in your development over this period. Neptune moves slowly and will be in force for about 2 years creating an easier flow for those who wish to become more engaged in their spiritual journey.  Meditation and sleep/dream programming might assist greatly during this period. 

 

Saturn will also conjunct Neptune (strong from May 2025 to early September 2025, and then again from February, 2026 to early April, 2026), adding its influence of energy by making a trine to this configuration.  Saturn provides a reality check. Its energy will push you to make sure that what you are experiencing is real and not just imagined.  These two powerful planetary energies will work together, although they are quite different in their nature, as long as they are not challenged by the rest of the natal chart configurations.  During this aspect, it can be referred to as a testing period where the mystic takes on the practical applications of Saturn pushing for validity and confirmation of what unfolds for those involved.

 

Both planets are making favorable aspects to the placement of the Sun for those under this influence. Trines usually point towards easier flow, opportunities and general promising conditions, although Saturn will, as mentioned, test things.  Saturn would like you to ask yourself, “What can help in the transfer/learning of information?” and “How can I be sure that what I am receiving/learning is fact”.  These are perfect examples of questions that will need to be answered through careful reflection.

 

Pluto during the upcoming year and well into 2027 will be in the sign of Aquarius in the early degrees. During this time frame, transformations and potential regeneration take place in the lives of those that are touched by its influence.  Pluto in Aquarius creates an opposition for those with their Sun sign in Leo in the early degrees as well.  The sextile suggests opportunities to make changes, and to move into a new self-exploration phase.  You may find that you are making a shift, of significance, that will take time to unfold. 

 

There are, of course, other areas of focus during this timeframe, but we have focused on the spiritual side of our evolutionary journey. 

 

The forecast for Sun in Leo, 2025, suggest development and change. The houses involved indicate the areas of life that are influenced.  Use these powerful energies at hand to further your understanding of your purpose. You are so much more than what is seen on the surface.

LEO NEW MOON 2025

This is a significant New Moon coming up on July 24, 2025 because it receives several aspects from different outer planetary placements. 

 

This New Moon will be in the sign of Leo at 2°.  It receives aspects from Pluto at 2° Aquarius which is an Opposition, a Trine from Saturn and Neptune which are 1° and 2° respectively in Aries, and Uranus which is 0° in the sign of Gemini making a Sextile. 

 

New Moon’s suggest that it is the appropriate time to begin something new, make plans and orchestrate an action plan.  When the New Moon is in Leo, these energies will relate to self-proposed goals.  This indicates moving ahead with confidence with whatever you set in place and that there will be a strong potential for success.  You may have a strong feeling that you know what is best, and you will push ahead with confidence and assert your individuality regardless of any pushback.  The press for success is strong and it stems from the heart.  What you do now will have an influence on others in a positive way.

 

You can be assertive with your plans although with the Opposition from Pluto there is a suggestion that this will manifest in ways that regenerate and transform conditions that others may not approve of, or that others believe should include their input.  Others may want to direct your actions in ways that suit them or offer advice that may stagnate or change the direction you have in mind.  Other options are important, but you believe you know the best way forward. You likely will not listen to their advice as they may tend to dictate rather than conform to your ideologies.

 

At the same time, there is a positive relevance stemming from transiting Saturn and Neptune.  Neptune helps with your vision and creative potential, while Saturn offers stability and structure which may be required as you move forward to create some lasting results.  Reality sets in due to Saturn’s influence, and you understand that the path forward might not flow as smoothly as you might want it to. Your chances for success are highlighted because of the placement of these two planetary energies.

 

The Sextile from Uranus, which also has strong implications, will be in effect into the fall of this year (2025).  Uranus is about creating change because what has been in place now needs to be revamped or the direction of things needs to move out of complacency and into a new and better direction.  Uranus is known as the awakener and can bring sudden insights into the picture helping you to progress in new areas because of what you set out to do during this time frame.

 

The house locations of these transiting planets along with the placement of this New Moon in your Natal chart provides insight into the areas of life involved.  Check to see if other natal positions come into play as well, especially a Conjunction or Opposition to the New Moon’s placement of 2° Leo.  The overall chart will have to be delineated carefully to get the full picture.

 

Take advantage of the Leo New Moon 2025.  There is potential at hand. Move forward with confidence as a new direction is warranted and the chance of success is high.
