A Week of Forward Motion, Inspiration, and Heart-Led Abundance
This week holds a cosmic dance of movement, awakening, and opening – a breath of fresh air after the quiet turns and inward folds of recent weeks.
The skies are offering a potent combination of clarity, structural renewal, and heart-led expansion, as Mercury stations direct in Leo, Saturn in Aries harmonises with Uranus in Gemini, and Venus and Jupiter unite in Cancer.
It is a week that invites us to walk forward with greater alignment, to see ourselves more clearly, and to open our hearts to the abundance that has been waiting for us all along.
August 11, 2025: Mercury Direct in Leo
Since July 17, Mercury’s retrograde in Leo has been asking us to pause and turn inward, to reflect on our relationship with our truth, our voice, and our self-expression. This has been a time to notice where we dim our light, where we feel unsafe to be seen, and where we long to live more fully from the fire of our own hearts.
As Mercury stations direct on August 11, there’s a shift – a soft but steady turning forward. Like the moment after taking a deep breath in, we can now exhale and allow the reflections of the past weeks to shape the way we move ahead.
Remaining in Leo until September 2, Mercury now invites boldness in thought and communication, joy in self-expression, and courage in sharing our truth. It’s a beautiful time to write, speak, create, and allow our authentic essence to be witnessed.
August 11, 2025: Saturn in Aries sextile Uranus in Gemini
This exact sextile between Saturn and Uranus is a meeting of stability and liberation, of structure and innovation. Both planets have recently entered new signs, marking the beginning of long-term shifts both within us and in the collective.
Saturn, retrograde in Aries, invites a review of our relationship with self-leadership, identity, and the ways we claim space in our lives. Uranus in Gemini inspires curiosity, adaptability, and the willingness to see things in a new way. Together, their sextile creates a flow between disciplined focus and fresh perspective, making this a potent time for aligning our long-term vision with our current capacity and authentic desires.
It’s a reminder that growth doesn’t have to be a tug-of-war between structure and freedom – they can inform and strengthen one another when approached consciously.
August 12, 2025:Â Venus Conjunct Jupiter in Cancer
If there’s one transit this week that glows with pure blessing, it’s this. Venus and Jupiter, the benefics of the cosmos, meet in the sign of Cancer, weaving themes of love, beauty, abundance, and emotional nourishment. This meeting happens roughly every twelve years, making it a rare and notable moment.
In Cancer, their union is deeply personal. It may bring a softening of the heart, healing in matters of safety and belonging, or a renewal of self-worth. There is generosity here, both in what life is offering us and in what we are able to give.
This is a beautiful day to connect with loved ones, to tend to your home, or to create something from the heart. It’s also a powerful moment for reconnecting with the inner child, allowing joy and playfulness to guide you into deeper trust in life’s goodness.
