Astrological Energies: August 24–30, 2025
Reflect and Release
This week encourages reflection on past patterns and the release of what no longer serves you. While resurfacing memories or situations may bring you some initial discomfort, it’s a necessary process to allow them to be purified.
Celestial Highlights
Venus enters Leo on August 25, infusing interactions with warmth and creativity. Midweek, the Moon’s aspects to Mars and Neptune support clarity and emotional depth, helping with decision-making and self-expression.
Old Patterns Resurface
If someone has left a relationship—whether with a partner, family member, or friend—realising it was no longer aligned, these energies support seeing things with greater clarity. Legal ties, children, or other obligations can keep certain people lingering in life. Old patterns can resurface, bringing familiar emotions: frustration, impatience, injustice, or a sense of being out of control. These moments reflect your inner growth, not the other person’s actions. Remember: control is often an illusion—your response shows the state of your mind.
“He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.” — Lao Tzu
Affirm Your Freedom
Use these situations as opportunities to affirm your personal freedom and choice. Resurfacing emotions are simply tests of growth. What may once have held you captive for days, weeks, months, or even years no longer holds power. Choosing reflection over reaction brings peace, clarity, and a deeper understanding of personal freedom.
"Freedom begins the moment you choose reflection over reaction."
