There is an immense build up of energy that needs to be vented, but finding an outlet for doing so will be a tough call. Confrontations are ill advised as they can persist and potentially have a destructive effect. Attempting to force or push people to do your bidding will result in the control you think you have will be challenged. Rebellious action against those who appear to thrive on aggression will leave them at least a little shaken. There will be bullies who will be put in their place.

Big feelings about what you are particularly enthusiastic about in terms of a wide range of objectives you want to do are at risk of falling flat. This is because there is indecisiveness about what to do first. Also, the money you require to put your extensive plans into action won’t be available. Trying to appease as many people as possible to avoid causing upset has a high chance of failure. The advice offered to you from those who have your best interests at heart will be well intentions, but at odds with what is suitable for you. It’s fine to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages before you take the initiative, but if you hesitate for too long the timeframe to respond will expire.

The general ideals and illusions that exist in society, should be discussed more freely from a personal perspective. A generational shift is on the way in how believers express their spiritual beliefs. Those who are not spiritual won’t allow their voice to be overwhelmed by the beliefs of others. This transit is a good opportunity for individuals and organisations who are charitable or support worthy causes to modernise the way they function. Technology can be their friend, but only if they are willing to embrace it.

The Sun at 1 degree 24 minutes Virgo is square Uranus at 1 degree 24 minutes Gemini at 7.15 am GMT 8.15 am BST 24th August 2025.

There is restlessness about having to adapt to change where it’s impossible to predict how it will go. This creates nervous tension about how you will be affected on a personal level. Following the usual routine won’t be an option for many people, as there could be disruptive occurrences that are challenging to resolve. Accidents are more likely too due to distraction, faults in infrastructure or technical failure. It may be unnerving for those who lack confidence in their abilities when such events occur. Following procedures to the letter will either work or need to be updated so they can be applied more effectively in the future.

Retrograde Saturn at 1 degree 12 minutes Aries is sextile Uranus at 1 degree 12 minutes Gemini at 3.36 am GMT 4.36 am BST 12th August 2025.

Reviewing what is normal for you in your current lifestyle to see what should be changed is fired up by the urge to experiment and modernise. Actively searching for old knowledge and finding it can be a revelation and an eye opener. What you thought you knew turns out not to be the whole story. An insight into the past will be seen through the eyes of a new generation, who are more understanding of how and why certain individuals from the past didn’t adhere to societal expectations. Those who have traditionally been in a position of respectable authority may find their effort to assert their presence is not enough to hold back the influence of those who are pushing for change and diversity.

Mars at 2 degrees 13 minutes Libra is trine retrograde Pluto at 2 degrees 13 minutes Aquarius at 12.22 pm GMT 1.22 pm BST 10th August 2025.

Find out what you want to change to break away from the control someone or something that had power over you. Dramatic and life altering plans of action are not quite ready to initiate yet. This gives you enough time to weigh up your options. The least stressful choice is what you will be drawn to. Dig deep and gather your resources and seek connections with those who are of a similar motivation to yourself.

It’s advisable to be honest in your actions and intentions, otherwise there is a strong indication that deception will backfire. Uncertainty about what you should do in a particular area of your life won’t lead to panic, but you may feel more confident if you are able to start with what is easiest first. Procrastination and a reluctance to take the initiative can be expected from many people; this includes a fear of failure. Direct confrontation is to be avoided; if it can’t it will be a stressful and unsettling experience.

Mars at 1 degree 20 minutes Libra is opposition retrograde Saturn at 1 degree 20 minutes Aries at 2.53 am GMT 3.53 am BST 9th August 2025.

Having a civilised response to opposition that tests your patience will be hard. Hesitating before you react will give you a moment to balance the pros and cons of what you should do. Frustrations will be expressed through gritted teeth. Revising and altering work you thought you had completed can make you feel miserable or defeated for a while. To put setbacks to constructive use, don’t allow impatience and stress cloud your judgement. Not every hindrance has to result in a confrontation. Use your knowledge and experience to choose your battles carefully.

Inner strength to search for new experiences that are out of the ordinary from your everyday experience, will help you to detach from outdated expectations of how you should live your life. This can be done without causing friction with people who are reluctant to move with the times. Younger generations won’t want to follow in the exact footsteps of the generations before them. There will be deviations, even if it’s bringing a modern twist to what has been traditionally adhered to. If you want to create a “work / life” balance this transit will be a force for good to make it happen.

Idealism influences your priorities and what you dream of drawing into your life. The ego is fed by acknowledgements about what can make an individual special and worthy of attention. This can happen without going to the extent of being out of touch with reality. If you have a vision, you will have the confidence to put it into action. You may not be entirely sure about what you are going to do, but your intuition should guide you to the right direction. Self-doubt and discouragement will take a back seat for now.
