tuning up in virgo season🎻

🌟 weekly astrology forecast: aug 25 – aug 31, 2025

our watchwords for the week: harvest your joy—and your love

Venus swans into Leo on Monday, adding warmth, glamour, and generous heart-energy through September 19. With Mercury moving cleanly again, creative launches, brand refreshes, shoots, and style upgrades get a green light. Midweek, do reality checks before you over-promise (Mercury tangles with Saturn/Neptune can fuzz expectations), then let Friday–Sunday’s Virgo New Moon seed practical magic: routines, craft, health, service, workflow, and small habits that stack into big change.

Sit tall, hands to heart. 5 Ujjayi breaths. Whisper once or three times: “Lokāḥ Samastāḥ Sukhino Bhavantu.”

Intention: “May my discipline be an offering.”

Cosmic weather quick hits

• Venus in Leo (Aug 25–Sep 19): romantic confidence, playful generosity, bold aesthetics. Watch extravagance; choose substance with your sparkle.

• Supportive Venus links: energize creativity, clarify devotion, and reward loyalty with tangible progress.

• Mercury friction to Saturn/Neptune: avoid rose-colored forecasts and doom spirals—edit plans, then act.

• Virgo Sun + New Moon: calibrate habits, systems, and skills. Plant seeds you’ll actually water.

Virgo New Moon intention ritual (Fri–Sun)

1. Clear a surface (desk, dresser, altar).

2. Write three micro-intentions you can do daily in <10 minutes.

3. Choose one area to optimize (sleep, inbox, meals, training, finances).

4. Close with: “I welcome easeful discipline and joyful service.” Breathe it in for ten slow counts.
