August 2025 Transits

All major transits for August 2025.

mars → libra - august 6th
sun → virgo - august 22nd
venus → leo - august 25th

Venus ☐ Saturn/Neptune

Venus Square Saturn Transit
[august 1st - 10th]

This transit is difficult for existing relationships. It will have you questioning the longevity and solidarity of your friendships and relationships. Sometimes we get caught up in the idea of people rather than the real thing, and this is one of those times that a lot of people will be having these realizations.
This is also a time of financial hardship. You’re more eager to spend your money on things that you don’t need and then quickly end up in a situation where you needed that money. Try to refrain from any extravagant purchases until after this transit has passed.

Mercury ☍ Pluto

Mercury Opposite Pluto Transit
[august 3rd - 13th]

With Mercury in Leo we will feel the urge to defend ourselves, to speak up for ourselves. With an opposition to Pluto, this can make it feel like we’re not being heard. For some of us, this will lead to extremes, where we are overly expressing ourselves, repeating ourselves, being selfish, saying things we don’t mean. Arguments are more likely under this transit. Lies and keeping secrets are also likely. In some scenarios, people will speak their truth, in ways like Freudian slips or saying something out of anger or while drunk, that has truth to it.
With the influence of Aquarius, this can result in situations like sending the wrong text, so be vigilant.

Try to think before you speak, sleep before responding. Communication will be difficult or will often result in misunderstandings.

Mars ☍ Saturn + Neptune

Mars Opposite Saturn Transit, Mars Opposite Neptune Transit
[august 4th - 15th]

Mars in Libra demands justice. Neptune in Aries fuels delusions, when Saturn conjoins here, it is a long transit of harsh realizations. This will be a volatile transit, global events are a focal point, flooding remains a focal point throughout the entirety of Neptune in Aries. Mars will be giving people the courage to act on their delusions. People will be lying and scheming more than usual, with malicious intent. This transit can also manifest as civil unrest. There is a chance of crisis arising that sparks catastrophic distrust in institutions, although we are already experiencing that.

Mars is aggressive, Libra is diplomatic. Saturn/Aries/Neptune is a recipe for confusion, misaligned morals, and corruption. Events in the news should be taken with patience and a grain of salt, let all of the details surface instead of taking things at face value.
Mars also rules over sudden events, things that ignite a new direction.
The opposition here can be associated with sudden contamination, toxic chemical leaks, structural loss, fires, explosions, and so on.

During this, Mars will also be making a trine to Pluto [death, disease, destruction] and a trine to Uranus [electricity, society, sudden events].

The combination of all of these planets, including their respective zodiac signs, can manifest as any variation of severity of the following

— widespread power outages, long term damage to power grids, likely lightning
— natural disasters in relation to water, so think flooding, prolonged rainstorms, mud slides, tropical storms, early hurricanes, tsunami’s, that sort of thing, air plays a huge factor here as well with Libra/Aquarius involved
— with mars, include explosions, fires, weapons
— event that sparks widespread civil unrest, the unification of unlikely foes, civil outbreaks
— public freakouts are more likely to happen, violence is heightened

Sun ☐ Uranus

Sun Square Uranus Transit
[august 18th - 28th]

Although this transit is a square, which implies conflict, the Sun makes this energy more positive and easier to bare. You should encourage change in your life, especially sudden change, because the nature of Uranus is to cause upheaval, the square is to challenge you. Your ego and sense of self or familiarity might be things that you lean on, and change might not always feel like a good thing, but remember to stay focused now, not dwell.
It is encouraged to try new things and come out of your comfort zone, and you might find that something new and different will be adapted into your everyday life or personality.
