Happy August! Blessed Lughnasadh if you celebrate. We are officially half way between summer and fall. Those of you who love fall, the wait is almost over. Those of us who prefer flowers and long days, our glass is half empty.
It is a pretty uneventful month in terms of astrological transits. We’ve been averaging 8-10 spreads per month. We only have 6 this month. Without further ago, here they are!
8/1/2025 - Lughnasadh
Not everyone celebrates the wheel, and that’s ok, but for those of us that do honor it, here is a tarot spread! We are celebrating abundance and harvest! Lugh was a Celtic sun god. August is sunny and hot here. We’ve always called it the dog days of summer.
8/6 - MARS IN LIBRA
Mars is a very fiery, assertive planet. Libra is far more balanced. This transit will have us looking at finding balance in our motivation, drive, and rage.
8/9 - FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS
This full moon may have you big in your feels, and that’s ok. Let them be there. Stay present with them. If you can, work them through your body so they can be processed and released. This is the last full moon before eclipse season!
8/22 - VIRGO SEASON
This will be posted in the paid subscriber post.
8/23 - NEW MOON IN VIRGO
This is a powerful new moon. It will occur at 0 degrees, which, like The Fool, is a new beginning. Get serious about those intentions and next steps. We will have two new moons in Virgo this year. Don’t let their grounding and highly detail-oriented energy go to waste!
8/25 - VENUS IN LEO
Time to get out there, show who you are, and maybe make a new friend or two. This spread is highly focused on healing confidence and self expression. You’re doing great! Keep going!
That is all of the spreads for the month. What are you looking forward to in August?
Wishing you well this week! May your life offer what you need in this moment.
With love,
Aventurine ✨
