This week we enter one of the most powerful turning points of the year with two major transits: the Moon exalted in Taurus and the New Moon in Leo with Ketu, which begins the six-week Eclipse Portal—the second and final eclipse season of 2025. This is a big transformational time, and in this episode I’ll guide you through how to work with these shifts in a grounded, practical way.
On Sunday, August 17th, the Moon is exalted in Taurus, bringing a nourishing influence. This is a great day for meditation, yoga nidra, massage, aromatherapy, or simply tending to your body and emotions. Exalted Moon days remind us to slow down and do something truly restorative.
By Wednesday, August 20th, Venus moves into Cancer, joining Mercury and the Moon. Venus is love, beauty, art, and pleasure. Cancer is nourishment and care. Together, they invite more tenderness into relationships, intimacy, and creativity. It’s an excellent time for art, music, dance, and romance. The caution is “comfort spending” as a substitute for addressing deeper needs. If directed consciously, this is excellent energy for self-care and meaningful connection.
Then, on Saturday, August 23rd, we step into the Eclipse Portal with the New Moon in Leo conjunct Ketu. New Moons are beginnings, but with Ketu there, it’s also about letting go—shedding old ego identities, control, and attachments to who we think we are. The next six weeks are about surrender and preparing for a new timeline. With Rahu in Aquarius opposite, the energy calls us into something bigger: a more global, innovative, and interconnected future.
This eclipse cycle asks: What roles, attachments, and identities are you ready to release so you can grow into your next chapter? For some, this may mean changes in career, home, or relationship. For others, it may be a subtle inner shift. Either way, eclipse seasons bring fated opportunities for transformation, especially if you have strong placements in Leo or Aquarius.
Astrology gives us perspective on how to navigate these times. Just as the internet reshaped society 30 years ago, AI and financial shifts are reshaping us now. The key is not to get lost in overwhelm, but to reset. Journaling prompts for this eclipse: What am I ready to let go of? What would I keep doing even if no one paid me? Where do I feel most aligned?
And if you’re ready to go deeper, the Vedic Astrology Mentorship is open now. We begin Saturday, August 23rd on the New Moon. This is where I share everything I’ve learned in 19 years of practice—thousands of charts, research, and case studies—all in one clear path. You’ll learn step by step how to read charts, make accurate predictions, and give great readings with confidence.
You’ll get direct access to me, live calls, a private WhatsApp group, accountability partners, and my full tables of positive and negative expressions of every placement. Whether you want to give readings professionally or simply deepen your self-understanding, this program gives you a foundation that will last a lifetime.
