August 23, 2025

This lunar cycle acts as an internal laboratory; an early stage, fresh start or perspective, where we are called to clear within and around us, make adjustments to old structures, and let go of, or transform chaos, complications and intensity or any sense of disorder into meaningful creation, new lifestyle habits and connections to others.

After a period with no earth planetary placements since August 6, this is a time to start grounding, or applying ourselves, also to see what serves betterment, the body, the senses and the material plane of life. The lack of earth element for the last couple of weeks, practicality may have been missing. Virgo is about discernment, and service, about apprenticeship, about health and the balanced connection of mind and body. The South Node is in Virgo, and this is pointing to the past, the need to release old patterns and methods, that relate to how we assimilate information, how we work, how systems are applied and favour new ones that serve the whole, or our vision for betterment. The North Node in Pisces is about integration, inspiration, betterment for the many, wisdom and dreams, empathy, going with the flow of life, having faith. We are welcoming the second eclipse season in Virgo/Pisces axis. What we are also working on since last September is the balance between discernment, and integration, exclusion and inclusion (collective or other). Our critical attitude and the large picture, between all those little things that serve a healthier daily life and the care and concern of collective betterment. Between method and systems that assist and provide, and how these serve the larger whole. Also, the victim-saviour roles that we adopt or project onto others. This is a healing axis that deals with boundaries and betterment. All real change and reform starts with small adjustments in our daily lives and the way they are applied. Any collective or political change or real reform is valued through the way it serves or not the betterment of our daily lives. If there is no concern for a larger vision, then any method or system is just a prop or rendered restrictive. This cycle points to seeds for new beginnings that aim at adjustments and improvements in any system, habit or method that is showing weakness or ineffectiveness.

Saturn, Neptune, Pluto are in their apparent Retrograde motion, so we are reassessing and reflecting on major territories and collective or social engagement and changes on an internal level mostly. Commitments, connection to family, ideals, radical changes in finances and connection to groups, or even a deep soul searching of what serves fulfillment or promotes change, maybe going on in our own generation of people.

Nothing is impossible if we speak from the heart.
