Embracing Change and Progress

Mercury Direct in Leo: A Catalyst for Breakthroughs

On August 11, 2025, Mercury turns direct at 4° Leo, nearly opposing Pluto at 2° Aquarius. This alignment may prompt new insights or sudden solutions, especially in situations where agreement has been difficult. It is a beneficial time for research or overcoming creative blocks.

Mars enters Libra on Wednesday, August 6, around 7:23 PM Eastern time and 4:23 PM Pacific time. During all the changes, there is a lovely grand trine (a great aspect and a triangle that expresses as a kind of ‘holy trinity’) between Transit Uranus at 1 Gemini, Transit Mars at 2 Libra and Transit Pluto at 2 Aquarius—the three air signs. Air signs are about diversity and ideas. This is one of those moments where an opportunity, an idea, a person, or even an instant meet up quite by accident can spur opportunities for innovative ideas aligning with the technological advancements facing us in our current business models. In other words, pay attention to people you meet or talk with or run into over the course of the next few days – they may be unexpected messengers for the good.

Financial Shifts and the ‘Merger Economy’

Upcoming news could include major changes in the stock market or corporate mergers, reflecting a broader shift toward a “merger economy,” influenced by astrological factors like the upcoming Saturn/Neptune conjunction in 2026, where more and more mergers will appear on the horizon.

Workplace Transformation and Technological Adaptation

Business or workplace changes initiated since late May may have faced hurdles mid-July, but Mercury’s current position could bring original approaches, potentially involving updated technologies and reassigning roles. Adapting staff with relevant training is recommended, particularly as younger workers may possess valuable skills for future developments. And there are so many young people in need of work whose skill sets are part of the fabric of their generation. What we more ‘seasoned’ individuals feel uncomfortable with in terms of technological opportunities, they can address within a matter of hours opting for far more efficient and successful outcomes for all parties concerned.

Saturn’s Return to Pisces: Laying the Groundwork for Success

As Saturn returns to Pisces on September 1 and continues through early 2026, efforts focused over the final months of 2025 will correlate directly with successes emerging by spring 2026 when Saturn and Neptune return to Aries where they will stay for 2.5 years (Saturn) and 14 years (Neptune).

Preparing for September’s Eclipses: Review and Refine

Two eclipses in September in Virgo suggest that a review of staff, of equipment, of staffing schedules, or health and safety matters, as well as processing networks and databases need special attention. Please address any outstanding issues now, as Mercury turns direct and before the September 7 and 21 eclipses.
