This week carries the energy of both disruption and inspiration. It is a week where change seeks us, where beauty desires to move through us, and where larger currents of collective awakening ripple quietly beneath the surface.
We begin with the Sun in Virgo forming a square with Uranus in Gemini. Venus moves into Leo soon after, turning our attention to love, self-expression, and the heart. And toward the end of the week, Uranus and Neptune meet in a rare sextile – a cosmic chord vibrating with innovation, imagination, and awakening.
August 24 to 30 is a week of both grounding and expansion, of heart and mind, of disruption that leads to deeper belonging.
August 24, 2025: Sun square Uranus
Squares bring tension, but with that tension comes movement. The Sun in Virgo invites grounding, refinement, and the sacred devotion of daily rhythm. Uranus in Gemini sparks disruption, awakening, and flashes of unexpected insight.
When they meet in a square on August 24th, 2025, we feel the tug between order and change, structure and innovation. Our routines may be shaken, our perspectives stretched. This is not disruption for the sake of chaos, but disruption as a wake-up call. It is an opening to new ways of seeing, to fresh inspiration moving through the body.
Virgo reminds us to ground. Gemini reminds us to think differently. Together, they reshape our relationship with order, reminding us that clarity and structure are most alive when they make space for freedom and imagination.
August 25, 2025: Venus enters Leo
The very next day, Venus enters Leo, where she will remain until September 19. Venus is love, beauty, and self-worth. Leo is the heart, the fire, and the courage to shine. Together, they create a cycle of heart-centered radiance.
This is a season for remembering your innate worthiness. For celebrating the art of being yourself. Venus in Leo reminds us that love is not something we chase – it is who we are. It invites play, creativity, romance, and confidence rooted not in performance but in self-devotion.
Both Leo and Venus are magnetic. When you embody your unique beauty, you become a living artwork. This transit asks you to radiate authentically, to step into your own version of confidence, and to let your heart be the source of healing, connection, and creation.
August 28, 2025: Uranus sextile Neptune
Toward the end of the week, Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Aries form a rare sextile – the first of five between now and 2027. The last time these two outer planets met in this way was the 1960s, a decade of profound collective change.
Uranus sparks awakening, innovation, and freedom. Neptune dissolves boundaries, awakens compassion, and expands imagination. Together, their sextile hums with the energy of visionary creativity, compassionate innovation, and spiritual awakening.
This is not an aspect we integrate in a day or a week. It unfolds slowly, across years, across generations. But moments like this are turning points – when the collective psyche is stirred, when imagination begins to merge with action, when the line between science and spirituality thins.
It is an invitation to dream boldly and to bring those dreams into form. To awaken to yourself not only as an individual, but as part of the vast, interconnected whole of humanity and cosmos.

The Sun square Uranus invites you to let your routines evolve. To embrace disruption as a teacher and to find new rhythms that better serve your becoming.

Root into Virgo’s grounding medicine: the rituals, routines, and details that sustain. Open to Leo’s heart medicine: the joy, beauty, and radiance that heal. Expand with Uranus and Neptune’s vision: dreaming a new way of being, both personally and collectively.
This is not about becoming someone else. It is about remembering more of who you already are.
