Your Monthly Predictions

This August there will be 18 planetary transits – see what this means for you below.

Jupiter in Punarvasu Pada 1

Aug 13 to 30

Jupiter, planet of philosophy and protection, is in Pada (part) One of Punarvasu, in the sign of Gemini from August 13th to 30th, 2025. Punarvasu’s symbol of a quiver of arrows sits well with Jupiter’s adventurous, questing nature, and gives you a thirst for knowledge and a desire to expand your horizons. Jupiter is moving swiftly in the sky at this point, and opportunities are quick to come and go, so it pays to be alive to new possibilities.

Ketu, Sun Conjunction in Leo

Aug 17 to Sep 17

The Sun, the all-powerful center of our universe, comes together with Ketu, the shadow planet of spirituality from August 17th to September 17th, 2025. This is a transit of contradictions, where the Sun emphasizes ego and self, while Ketu plays down individual identity and sees you wanting to merge with something greater than yourself. Sun is extra-strong in Leo at this point, especially in fiery Magha up to August 30th, where you act with dramatic flair and bring other people onside with your inspiring energy.

Saturn in Uttara Bhadrapada Pada 1

Aug 18 to Oct 03

Saturn, planet of karma and boundaries, is in Pada (part) One of the benevolent and spiritual nakshatra Uttara Bhadrapada from August 18th to October 3rd, 2025. This is part of Saturn’s retrograde phase, where it returns to the place it was in from late April to early June, and an issue from that time will likely arise again. You may not have had all the details you needed, or you may not appreciate the time and commitment required for success. Pada One of Uttara relates to Leo navamsha, the underlying chart of relationship and subtle strength, though Saturn’s desire to shine and perform must be balanced with a slow, patient quality.
