Aries August 2025

The sun opens its smile to welcome you into August, and rams are at play in your fifth fun house. Romance is in the air as early as this Thursday, July 24 under the new passionate Leo Moon in your fifth house and you’re given a new role to play on the world stage. A worthy part which resonates among your professional colleagues under a full Aquarius Moon in your eleventh house on Saturday, August 9. It’s equivalent to winning an Oscar.

To allow this experience to be as deeply enjoyable as it’s intended to be you must let the work details and particulars slide. With Mercury retrograde there’s no point sweating the small stuff (and it’s all small stuff). That stuff will all change again anyway. You’ll tie yourself up in knots if you don’t, and you’ll miss the fabulous ride of a lifetime, playing large and generous like a properly adored Aries.

And I mean ride of a lifetime literally. You’ll not see the likes of this again in your own lifetime. Here it is, Aries. Full on in your most passionate house – and all the areas this house rules.

Take your pick. One or more of these energies from your fifth house will be going hog-wild.

Your fifth house, traditionally ruled by flamboyant Leo, covers these areas in your life:

Conception – of a baby, an idea, business plan, masterpiece

Romance

Creativity

FUN

True love

Children

Your own inner child

Performing

Parties

Risk-taking

Feeling beautiful or handsome

Dressing up

Going out

Playing

Theater, Performance

Creatives, get recording – write down everything, all your ideas!

Gemini’s gestures to impress cease – and he can be exactly who he is. Libra can stop trying to please friends and social groups and just be herself. Aries can be truthful about her passions, Taurus about his parents’ origins, Cancer about finances, Leo about his maturing body, Capricorn about what she has shared, Aquarius about what agreements she made, and so on. Uncomfortable initially, but such relief.

This will be a time of reckoning for those who have allowed pride and greed to take over to the extent that they are no longer healthy. Forcing the eyes open is a painful surgery! So don’t be surprised if, prior to your deeper vision, you are in agony.

The planet of reckoning is wise Saturn, which rules Capricorn, which rules foundations. Saturn sits until April 12, 2028 in your sign of Aries to set up your legacy, and also to teach you lessons about your body. For the sign of America, Cancer (birthday July 4, 1776), Saturn is in the tenth house of public career and reputation.

For the world, August brings some much-needed relief. After so much doublespeak, the truth – no matter what it reveals – will OUT. August’s last week will be an eye-opener, in every sense of the word.

Every country has its secrets, but the two most highlighted during this time will be America (higher ups coming off their pedestals) and to a lesser extent Britain (the royal family.)

As the sun’s power is eclipsed, the moon’s power brightens. Revealing unconscious drives, the inner movement of the world, the energy of the water on the earth: all that is ruled by the moon.

A fascinating point about the moon: It rules need.

When does need become greed, and when does addiction take over?

When does addiction become so powerful that other beings are disregarded?

When does a sociopathic disorder begin?

Shakespeare – the greatest, Leo Jupiter – who always wrote of the direct connection between the heavens, stars, nature, animals, and human beings.

August is your Power Month, you re-mount grand-style, and you manage – superbly.

You’re going to use this month to make your life FABULOUS. How? By flowing with it, by not fighting the tide, by entering that retrograde swimming motion as if your life depended on it.

With the balance of power in your fifth fun house it’s time to give yourself permission to slow down and relax…You don’t need to be all things to everyone. No one will get lost without you!

Go ahead and feed your soul a bit more, please. Because you do need to be all things for yourself.

You’re opening your arms to a new chapter in your life. There are changes everywhere.

Remember to curb the spending, and you’ll do great. Those who are still having conversations with da money people and such, you may want to ask yourself: Why is it I really don’t want to grow up yet? It most often has to do with the father figure in your life.

Maturity is difficult to obtain, mostly because it can’t be taught. You have to learn it yourself. As the great philosopher Kierkegaard says, “Life is a hard teacher. She gives the test first, the lesson after.”

Now, let’s get back to the fun stuff.

Are you still crying about not having enough intimacy with your partner? Or about not having a partner at all? Or if you’re a creator, not being inspired enough?

GOOD NEWS. New Lion Moon in your fifth love house. Starting as early as Thursday, July 24.

Insecurity stops plaguing your subconscious and fears of being old and alone. Meaning you can get pickier now in terms of which projects you take on. You don’t have to take all on to cover your bases. No more scarcity!

You feel more and more centered as August continues, and true JOY comes into the picture. What a relief! You’ve been going, going, going so much, and finally a break for pleasure.
