What’s Shifting in the Stars This Week?
25 August, 2025
This week carries a strong karmic undertone. The Sun continues in Leo with Ketu, highlighting identity and purpose through detachment. On August 30, Mercury moves from Cancer to Leo, creating a stellium of Sun, Mercury, and Ketu. This brings a charged focus on self expression, communication, and ego refinement.
Meanwhile, Venus in Cancer nurtures emotional honesty, Mars in Virgo strengthens discipline, Jupiter in Gemini fuels curiosity, and Saturn retrograde in Pisces continues to work quietly on long term restructuring. Rahu in Aquarius stays fixed on future focused innovation.
It is a week where **voice, clarity, and selfhood are tested** but also reshaped into something more authentic.
