SALTKEEPER: August 2025 Astrology Forecast

August begins in fire and ends in earth. This is a month of recalibration.. a pulse between the Leo heart and the Virgo hand. It’s not about rebranding yourself, it’s about remembering who you are beneath the noise.

The Mercury retrograde ends early in the month, but its echo will linger. Meanwhile, Venus meets Jupiter, the Sun shifts into Virgo, and we close the month with a New Moon that invites sacred structure. You don’t need to have it all figured out, just rooted enough to stay soft in the shift.
