August is a month of paradox and polarity, a time when two opposing truths can exist at once. You are the architect of your life, actively designing your future, but you are also the architecture—the very design being built. This is a precision point, a potent portal that guides you from being a seeker to becoming the source code of your own reality.

This month is marked by a confluence of powerful energy that feels both immense and surprisingly quiet—like the calm before the storm.

Key Astrological Events in August 2025:

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hi, everyone, It's Amanda Riga Green. Welcome to Soul's Sessions.
So excited you're here today. I'm excited to be here today.
I am going to discuss the astrology for August, and
if you listened to the podcast before this, I did
a whole numerology podcast where I focused on the numerology

(00:31):
between August and October because it's like a portal in
a gateway and there's a really beautiful code to play with,
so that podcast stands alone, but of course it also
engages with the astrology, and both of them I felt
like needed their own time and space to stand alone
because there is quite a bit of energy to play

(00:55):
with and to synthesize. But it's not about being overhe
it's about tuning in. And this month the theme energetically, not
just astrologically or numerologically, is truly remembering that you are
both the architect and the architecture. Meaning it's like you're

(01:20):
in the zone, you're in the field. You are both
designing something and you are the design. And I know
that may sound paradoxical or like a polarity to things
being true at once, but think about yourself as this
fusion of energy. The energy is really fine tuning and

(01:46):
fusing into a frequency a different frequency field. And the
best way that I can conceptualize to explain this, and
I keep thinking of this is playing Tetris. I think
about playing Nintendo when I was younger, and I mean,
I'm born in nineteen eighty, so you know the OG Nintendo,

(02:06):
but and the OG Tetris. Remember when you were playing
Mario Brothers or Tetris or Jaws or whatever game you
were playing. But I think about Tetris and you're playing
and you're moving the little deals to configure them into
the right spot to make your lines at the bottom,
and as you're doing it, you know you're in sync.

(02:29):
You're on a roll. But as you get higher and
higher in the levels, the tetris speeds up and there's
that moment while or multiple moments, let's say I can
remember like in playing Tetris, where it's like anxiety ridden
and you're like trying to keep up because the speed
is getting higher and you can feel yourself kind of
crunchy and intense, and then there's this fusion moment where

(02:52):
you are you are not only playing the tetris, you
are the Tetris it's like it's clicking. You're in the flow,
but it's happening so rapidly, so it's like for a moment,
the anxiety melts and you are the tetris, like you
are the architect and the architecture, and then you come
back right into anxiety and frustration and boom you lose.

(03:14):
You know, it goes all the way up to the top.
Think about it that way. And I was in pilates
this weekend and we were doing something standing up on
the side of the reformer on this box with these
heavy weights, and I'm completely having to engage my body
and my core. There's a little bit of fear of
imbalance in what we were doing, like I could totally

(03:37):
face plant and have a party foul in the middle
of pilates. So I'm having to engage my core, my focus,
my breath, my gaze, the whole works. And there would
be these moments while I'm doing the exercise where it's like,
all of a sudden, the focus, the engagement, the fear,
the core, oh my gosh, I'm gonna face plant, would

(03:59):
like melt all for a moment, and it was like
I wasn't just the mover. I was the movement. I
was the machine, I was the reform. Like it was
like everything fused for a split second, and then I
would jump back into fear and my core and my
alignment and the pain that was going on in my
glued I guess this over yet, but it's like it's

(04:21):
like a moment and then you lose it a moment
and then you lose it. That's what August feels like.
We are fine tuning something, and really we are fine
tuning something through February March of twenty twenty six, but
August feels like a precision point, like a point of entry.

(04:44):
So think about yourself as both the builder and the
design and shifting from seeker to the source code and
the signal being all three. It's this precision of signal
and quantum design. And when I tap into that energy,

(05:05):
it's sixth dimensional energy. If I'm gonna explain it in
human linear terms, it's not fifth dimensional heart centered love, compassion,
you know, this just kind of melting of body. It
is this divine design where you are the designer and
you are the design and that's what the sixth dimension

(05:27):
is like. And if again, another way to explain that
easily or practically, it's like virtual reality. You're in this.
The sixth dimension to me is very it's very much
sacred geometry, and you're playing in the sacred geometry. You're designing,
but you're you are the design. It's you know, Yes,

(05:50):
is that esoteric, elusive, mystical, confusing? But think about yourself
that way. When are you in that quantum point, and
especially in that quantum point where there's fear and anxiety
and there's determination, but then there's this receptivity that happens.

(06:10):
And the example I gave of tetris or pilates, it's
like you go in and you're like, I'm in the zone,
I am one with and then you come out. Or
I think about being in yoga sometimes and I think
about being in eagle pose where your arms are wrapped
and your legs are wrapped and you're balancing, and there's
moments when I'm in that beautiful eagles pose where it's

(06:33):
like I want to fall out of the pose. I
lose my gaze. I'm tightening up so much, and then
at some point I kind of let go and I
am the egle. I am the pose. That's the energy
that is really magnificent this month, So think about when
you're both the design and the designer, right when you're

(06:55):
in that point. And the other big theme is pull
larity as a portal, and we're going to do a
really I'm going to give you a fun exercise, especially
around the full moon this month that I think you
will find tremendous value and potency and clarity through. And

(07:17):
I will share that because I think it's going to
be super helpful in this quantum rebalancing and also getting
you into the energy the frequency of what I am
conveying right now of being both the architecture and the
architect and there's a tremendous amount of confluence of energy

(07:43):
happening astrologically in August. But it also feels quieter, maybe
like a little calm before the storm, a little bit
of a respite, and then not you know, it's like
it's both it's kind of like, Okay, everything's good, I'm okay, Okay,
maybe I'm not okay. So it's it's a little bit

(08:06):
I'm not gonna say push and pull, but it feels
like it's stretching us, it's expanding us and testing the
limits of where we are now. Where we have evolved
and what we're evolving into. So it's nuanced. Fine, tune yourself.
Let me go through the roadmap. First and foremost, at

(08:28):
the very end of July, Venus entered cancer. And I
don't think I said this when I did the July
forecast because there was so much going on, I forgot
to say July thirtieth, Venus is moving into cancer. But
Venus shifted into cancer and is now in that energy field.

(08:48):
And when Venus is in cancer, the theme is really
connected to emotional rerooting softness as your power and presence
and coming home, feeling at home in your own skin,
and finding the beauty in that. The beauty in softness,

(09:10):
not push, strive, achieve the poetry of life is what
I would call Venus in cancer. And a great question
to tune you in would be something like, what does
it feel like to find safety? Not so much as
a concept, but as a frequency. And that speaks back

(09:34):
to what I started off with, is that moment when
the fear and anxiety dissipates and the edge softens and
you're right there in the point. So not so much
safety as a concept, but as a vibration, as a frequency.

(09:54):
And Venus softens this field. So allow this to be
a beautiful prelude into whatever is shifting for you, a
softening through this beauty. On August six, Mars will enter Libra.

(10:14):
And this is very significant because Mars entering Libra an
air sign in those first few degrees of Libra. First
of all, Mars is the ruler of aries. What is
the polarity of Libra? Aries? Is Mars comfortable in Libra? Noop.

(10:37):
Does Mars give us a lot of opportunity for growth
in Libra? Absolutely? But what is even more significant about
this is as Mars enters Libra in these first handful
of degrees, think about this. Urinus is in the first
the early degrees of Gemini, both Saturn and Neptune are

(10:58):
in the early degree of airrees, and Pluto is in
the early degrees of Aquarius. Air fire, air fire. So
what does this mean for Mars. Mars is making positive aspects,
which would be trines and sextiles to all the heavy

(11:21):
hitter outer planets Urinus, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto. That's a
big old deal because it's beautiful, because it's they're these positive,
beneficial aspects, and the beauty of Mars making the aspects
is Mars is an initiator. Mars is I better take charge,

(11:44):
I better do this myself. Okay, what needs to be done,
I'm gonna go for it. It gives you the umph
and the passion and the courage. Certainly, it has its
shadow attributes, and I will communicate those shortly. But with
the positive energy flow in trines and sex tiles, it's

(12:04):
about us seizing the moment, taking advantage of them. Otherwise
that energy passes you by because Mars will say, Okay,
here's the opportunity. What are you going to do about it?
Are you going to respond to it? So with Mars
in libra libra balance harmony, Mars individuality, assertion, initiation, you

(12:28):
are balancing your action and receptivity. And it is this
sacred dance around conflict, relationship and polarity. Meaning is there
going to be some squabbles and relationship conflict and argumentation

(12:49):
that comes up? Heck, yes there is. But Mars in
libra is not so much about reacting as it is
real responding, which fine tunes that polarity. So notice where
you get triggered and you want to jump to conclusions
overreact and see if you can dial it in a

(13:11):
hot minute and really take a beat and ask for
divine guidance, what would be my response that would be
the most optimal outcome for everyone involved. Mars and Libra
is tricky, but it's also frequency balancing, So you're being

(13:32):
we are being invited to balance our assertion with our artistry.
And just like I was speaking about Venus and cancer,
talking about the poetry of life, that's that's the higher
octave of Mars. In Libra is responding to life like

(13:54):
artistry or poetry, and that also speaks to being the
architect and architecture. So there's a lot of beauty energetically
when we talk about Venus and cancer, Mars and Libra.
Both of them galvanize in poetry, artistry, beauty softening versus

(14:18):
brute force, and Mars is full on brute force. So
remembering when you get super aggressive, you want to react,
you want to throw down. I've had enough of this,
you know, we all know how that feels. I can
have that ten times in a day. Actually not really,
not really, but but I can. I know what it
feels like. I just need to say something, and I

(14:39):
need to say it now. That's when that's when I know,
hold on, cool your jets, girlfriend, like take a beat,
absorb this, ask for some guidance and whether it's divine
guidance or a trusted friend. Libra is about relationship and
what am I learning through the other. But I think
this call to action with Mars in Libra is more

(15:01):
about how am I becoming more true to myself and
in tune with myself and refining polarity coming into that
quantum point. So just remember not only is Mars and Libra.
Mars is like sending beams out and communicating with these
bigger outer planets in its first you know, handful of

(15:24):
degrees in Libra, and it's asking you to take action
from your highest integrity. And that also speaks to the
numerology of the nine and the eight, which I discussed
in the last podcast. This energy theme really melds well

(15:44):
with it there. It's a beautiful, beautiful astro numerological code.
On August ninth, there is a full moon in Aquarius
and I'm going to discuss that in detail here in
a bit, but here's the kicker. August ninth, the full
moon is in Aquarius, and then August eleventh Mercury Stations Direct,

(16:05):
and then if I jump back eight eight is the
actual Lionsgate portal and it extends through Mercury Stationing Direct.
When we look at the portal itself, the apex energy
is August eighth, and not because the astrology is perfected
at that time. It's the numerology code lines up with
it too. But we are in this portal of energy

(16:30):
during the lions Gate, the full moon in Aquarius and
Mercury stationing Direct. It is a poutant energetic time and
I'm going to come back to it and detail it
out and give you this exercise that I've come up
with that I'm like, oh my gosh, this makes so
much sense. In a few minutes, let me go through

(16:51):
the astrology for the second half of the month. After
those transits, the sun will intervergo on August twenty second,
and catch this August twenty third, just after the sun
enters Virgo, there's a new moon at zero degrees Virgo.

(17:11):
So it's like an initiation point, a quantum point, and
Virgo is about practical action, building things, practically solid foundation
day to day life and routines. So it's like we
are moving through this beautiful portal of energy this month
that has these attributes that feel like they flow like

(17:34):
it's a setup. It feels very beautifully orchestrated. It feels
like a symphony to me this month. And do symphonies
always go go off perfectly? And do you have a
lot of things going on in a symphony? You got
a conductor and you got a lot of people playing
instruments and making it work. There's a lot of moving parts,

(17:55):
but it's more about being you know, the conductor and
the composition, the conductor and the music, the composer and
the symphony. Again, it's speaking to that. So I'll talk
a little bit more about the Virgo new moon after
I discussed the Aquarius full moon. Venus will enter Leo

(18:23):
on August twenty fifth, and Venus moving from Cancer which
it will be in until the twenty fifth to Leo
is a beautiful stairstep because as Venus enters Leo and
we move from August into September, it's about radiance and
receiving joy magnetism. So everything that you are engaging with

(18:48):
up through the twenty fifth Leo takes it and bring
It's like it brings your show on the road, so
to speak. It's about magnetizing in and allowing your creed
native field to reflect back to you. So it's kind
of like whatever you tune into and hone in on

(19:09):
and practice and assimilate. The first two thirds of the month,
Venus and Leo starts magnetizing new people, places, and experiences
towards you based in your growth and where you are.
And listen, don't get down about this if, like on
the twenty seventh of the month, you're like, great, I

(19:30):
got a speeding ticket, you know, like you know, and
you're like, what am I magnetizing in? I'm bricking the law.
I'm just unlucky, you know, think, think higher than that,
live higher than that. Life happens, little things happen. But also,
you know, when we do get pulled over and the
cop pulls us over, do they let us off with
a warning or is it a really uncomfortable interaction. Both

(19:53):
of those things tell me something different. You know, I
get pulled over and I'm let off with a warning. Wow,
I feel really grateful. Maybe I should pay attention a
little bit more to my speed. Maybe I'm not as
grounded as I need to be, or I get pulled
over and I get a real jerk of a cop
and somebody is just rude and relentless and harsh, you know.

(20:15):
And I've had that happen before, where I'm nice and
kind of surrendering and the cop is harsh and it's like,
let go and let God like, you know what, It's
a ticket. It happens. It's not the end of the world.
How resiliently can I let go of that stuff and
not be in fear or hold a grudge or hang
into that low frequency. But venus entering LEO is a

(20:39):
lot of fun and capitalizes on fun and pleasure and
beauty and connection and just radiance magnetism, and last but
not least energetically, September first, And the reason I'm bringing
this up is because it's important as we close out
the month of August. But September first, Saturn, which is

(21:01):
retrograde right now, just like Neptune in the early degrees
of aries, will retrograde back into Pisces. This is significant,
and I will talk more about that energy as we
move into September. But what is significant about the end
of the month in August is that Saturn is going

(21:24):
to be on the world axis, the zero point of
Pisces and Ares, the end of the zodiac, the beginning
of the zodiac, the alpha, the omega, the zero point
of Aries right at the close of August is potent.
It's a portal in and of itself, and that energy
is beautiful. So there's significant things going on astrologically this month,

(21:51):
but fine tuning your awareness and frequency is more the play.
This softening of seeing, living, receiving, finding your zero gravity point,
your center. It's finding your center. It's also at the
end of the month there's this step back, like in

(22:13):
between the worlds of not only it's kind of like
the way that I'm feeling it and sensing it. And
the best I can describe it is, you know, when
we say the veil is thin, like if you think
about the number eleven eleven, or you know any of
the the what the equinoxes and certain energy portals, it's like, oh, yeah,

(22:34):
the veil is thin right now. Well, to me the
very end of the month, beginning of September, the veil
isn't just thin. It's like we are the veil again
zero point, Like the veil isn't just then you are
the veil you are the skywalker between the worlds, between
heaven and Earth, between your inner life and outer life.
So again it is all about the communion of divine

(22:58):
polarity and the sacred union of those coming back together.
And what I'm going to share with you about the
full moon and Aquarius is going to speak all to
polarity and it's a fun exercise. But just know that
this month is this really curious and fun dance where

(23:18):
you're fine tuning your field to be right in that
zero point, if even for two seconds, and noticing when
you're in it, and then when you hop out and
you either hop into anxiety and fear or you calibrate
through and you're just let go, let God in love
kind of energy. So let's jump back to the full

(23:43):
moon in Aquarius. The full moon in Aquarius is on
August ninth. It's at seventeen degrees of Aquarius. And this
moon is very visionary. It's freedom seeking. There's also some
very curious astrological aspects that are bringing truth to light.

(24:04):
So it's almost like there's a truth serum in this
in this lunation and full moons. Think about it. There
are polarities. It is like the sun lights up. The
moon creates this polarity and it shed light, sheds light
on what is hiding beneath the surface. But this full

(24:26):
moon and the astrology around it, especially with Mercury stationing
direct in the hours and days ish leading like after that,
Mercury is standing still in the sky. We've got a
lot of activity with Mars happening in and around this

(24:48):
and the Lionscape portal. Mars is engaging with the planets.
There's so much potency that it's basic showing you, as
both the architect and the architecture, what design or scaffolding
needs to be completely removed from your field. What are

(25:13):
you fully ready to shed to let go of, whether
it is an attitude, belief, or behavior, it is people,
places and things, environments, something you have outgrown, a relationship,
something going on with your health. And it's not so

(25:34):
much about I'm done today, It's about the potency of
clarity of its do or don't. It's absolute yes, absolute
no energy, So it's kind of it's jerky a little bit.
I mean, it's it's full on, like an apex of energy,
and it's immense, especially because we have so much activity

(25:55):
with Mars. The recipe for disaster is fighting over reacting,
jumping to conclusions, and then days later after this energy
begins to dissipate and mercury stations direct, which is already
you know, a cocktail for miscommunication and misunderstanding. A few

(26:15):
days days later, you get the facts or you get
the real story, and you're like, shoot, I jumped to conclusions.
I made a mountain out of a mole hill. Uh,
Like I was a jerk, or I should have checked myself,
or maybe I should have kept my mouth shut. And remember,
as I'm saying this to you or to myself, remember
that for other people who may not be as aware

(26:38):
and not have the roadmap astrologically or be into this
stuff like we are. You know, if people jump to
conclusions with you, or jump down your throat or accuse
you of something or press you really hard, you know,
where can you say, hey, you know, I think you
may be misinterpreting this or maybe you're projecting a little bit.

(26:59):
Can we talk about this in a couple of days
when you cool down and we can really talk about
this logically. So if somebody comes at you versus you
being the com at er, I know that's not a word.
But we're gonna say you either are come at or
you're the come at er. You know, either way. Because
we're talking about polarity, how can you just be present

(27:21):
without taking on somebody else's gunk and projection or projecting
onto and projecting sideways. So it's almost like instead of
this full moon feeling like point A to point b
a straight line, it's like a zigzag. So it's it's
designed to throw you off, but it's not throwing you off.

(27:44):
It's fine tuning you into the path, into the field.
And it's not about an end game or an endpoint.
It is about being the center, being the point and
the exercise I want to share with you. And this
will connect because of Mercury stationing direct in Leo and

(28:04):
Mercury being about the mind, Leo being about communicating, Leo
being about creative self expression, living from the heart, generosity,
shining your light and being seen is a polarity practice.
And this is what I want you to do. I
definitely want you to take notes right now. And if
you're driving, don't be sill. Don't take notes when you're driving.

(28:25):
Do it a little later, but get out your pen,
get out your paper, and write down your sun moon
and rising. So I am a Libra son, a Libra
moon and a cancer rising, so I would write, you know,
Libra Libra cancer. And if you're a Sagittarius son and
a Gemini moon and a Leo rising, or you know,

(28:46):
write down sun moon and rising. Okay, And those are
the three signs that you want to pay attention to
for your exercise for this full moon. And it's going
to be a polarity excerpt. It's about role reversal. We're
gonna play some role reversal here, Okay. For all of

(29:08):
the zodiac signs, there's a polarity Aries and Libra Taurus
and Scorpio Gemini, and Sagittarius cancer and Capricorn, Leo, Aquarius, Virgo, Pisces.
So if you're an Aries sun or a Libra moon
or a Libra sun, Aries moon, Libra rising, Aries rising,
this is partly this is for you. I want you

(29:30):
to act like the other polarity. Think of behave embody
for a day or two or three, and really during
this portal Lionsgate eight eight through Mercury station direct like
the twelfth, thirteenth of August, like play with this as
much as you can so. If you're an Aries sun mooneralizing,

(29:54):
behave more like a Libra. If you're a Libra sun
moon rising, behave more like an Ares. What does that
mean if you're instead of needing to take the lead,
it's about letting others lead, letting go and releasing the
urgency of timeline. If you're an Aries, you know you
like to jump in. You like to get it done
and be on too. The next thing. You don't like

(30:15):
to rest on your laurels. And then what about Libra.
If you're a Libra, freaking step up, take initiative. Don't
wait for someone else to prompt you. Libra friends, it's
about you driving the car versus defaulting into the copilot.
Don't wait for harmony. Create your momentum, so arees, y'all

(30:37):
step back and receive. Let someone else take the wheel,
even if it's uncomfortable or not the way you would
do it, and then release the timeline of urgency, impatience, immediacy.
And see what happens when you embrace the Libra aspects
for a little bit and just let it go. Libras

(30:59):
really wrack. Recognize where you default into. I'm gonna let
someone else prompt me or waiting for everything to be
harmonious before initiating or having a conversation. It's really more
about initiating the momentum, taking the lead, taking charge, and
not with brute force, but really with assertion that comes

(31:23):
out of integrity and creating momentum for yourself. So think
about that. All right, let's talk about Taurus and Scorpio.
So for all you Taurus is out there, you got
to act a little scorpionic instead. You've got to face
the depth, face the shadow, risk change, feel your emotions.

(31:46):
And I'm gonna repeat this risk change. What does that mean?
Something that you have been sitting on or where you'd
normally just sit back, and you like that stability and
consistently jump in and risk making a change, whether it's
a change of attitude or a change of circumstance behavior,

(32:09):
Go for it. But also don't fear really feeling your darkest,
heaviest emotions. Be the psychological explorer, like whoa, I'm in
a lot of jealousy right now, or wow, I'm feeling
a ton of self pity. I mean, go ahead and

(32:30):
be that scorpionic presence that goes right down into the
heart of the truth, no matter how ugly or painful
it is. In order to ouchemize it, go deep tauruses
and make a change. Take a risk and it can
be calculated, but feel the risk and feel both the

(32:52):
expansion of that risk and that little bit of fear
right in that center point. And for you scorpios, back
off of the drama, seek stability. Don't default into drama
and all that lovely psychoanalysis that you all love to do.
To really get down to the depths and figure it out.

(33:12):
Instead of needing to like emotionally and energetically and mentally
really pinpoint it, just say, oh shoot, i'm feeling off today. Okay,
I'm gonna move on to the next thing. I'm gonna
do something very grounding and nurturally versus psychoanalyzing it. And
you scorpios out there, you know, like you all know

(33:33):
yourselves very very well. That is the genius of your
energy is that you love to go down to the
depths and like figure it out and all the intensity.
Just lighten the heck up and do something really easy,
really stabilizing, really comforting, really nurturing, Like you know, take
a bath instead of psychoanalyzing yourself or eat something really

(33:57):
good for dinner and laugh about this, you Scorpios, because
y'all have a great sense of humor and a wicked
sense of humor, so you know, taurus is definitely get wicked,
get deep, get a little snarky with yourself, you know,
like laugh in the face of fear, and Scorpios, push

(34:18):
all that aside and just create some stability and some
ease and maybe even a little pleasure without drama and psychoanalysis. Okay,
if you're a Gemini or a sad sun Moon or
rising Geminis, this is really clear. Drop all the freaking

(34:44):
data and the fact finding, and okay, I need to
get everything precise and be the investigative journalist and let
me get all of this data done and get it
done correctly. And y'all don't act very robotic. I know
that I'm being cheesy when when I talk like that,
but I want y'all to get into your depth, your why,
Like what is the meaning behind what I'm doing right

(35:07):
now versus the facts and the logistics. Get out of
the facts and the logistics and get into the deeper
philosophy of yourself, the why behind your actions and your engagements,
especially for you all because Gemini's you are so day
to day oriented and in astrology, when we talk about

(35:31):
the polarity of Gemini and Sagittarius, Gemini is about short
journeys and Sagittarius is about long journeys, and that can
be taken very literal meaning. Gemini is run into the
grocery store, the items on your daily actions and interactions,
whereas Sagittarius is about the broad strokes, the trips, the

(35:55):
bigger travel, the philosophies, the knowledge and understanding things. Geminis explore, learn,
use your curiosity to get into the what is my
meaning behind this? Why am I really worried about this? Gemini?
We know y'all future trip? Why am I so worried

(36:16):
about this? What is the why? What is propelling me?
What is deeper behind my daily interactions? Like what motivates
and propels me? And am I coming from this place
of excitement and enthusiasm and love and potential? Or am
I coming out of old conditioning, old fear. So drop

(36:38):
the data and the fact finding and get into the
meaning and the philosophy and then, sad, you know what
I'm about to say, get out of your meaning in
philosophy and double triple check your facts. Quit being so
broad strokes, because you all have these beautiful broad stroke
canvases and the sky is not the limit for you all.

(36:58):
You love to spread your wings and learn and travel,
not just literally, you will have to travel in your
freaking mind and your spirit and astrally and all of
the creative ways. But this energy for you is more
about get your facts straight, get your data collected, and
temper that beautiful vision you have with precision and think

(37:23):
about it like being very quality oriented over big picture quantity.
And even for you, Sajez, I'm gonna recommend something that
y'all are gonna roll your freaking eyes at but laugh at.
Make a to do list, like like literally what is
on my list today? And let me check those boxes?
And can I check them easily without needing to like

(37:46):
go deeper into and make something even bigger come to life,
like can you just be in the day and that
be just as adventurous as the big picture of like
the mundane the minuti. But double triple check your facts. Okay.
So that's Jemini and saj Onto cancer and Capricorn. So

(38:09):
with our cancer energy, we know you all are about
intimacy and feeling and nurture. Okay, you got to act
more like a Capricorn. I think this one is hard. Okay,
I think out of all the polarities, and I'm a
cancer rising, so what I'm about to say, I'm like, like,
as I digest it, I'm like, oh gosh, okay, I

(38:30):
can do it. You know. So, cancers, instead of taking
things so darn personally and losing your boundaries because there's
a little codependency and ammeshment and immersion, it's about not
taking things personally and instead of just feeling and intuiting,

(38:52):
it's about structure, creating structure, setting boundaries, being a little
detached emotionally from situations. And I know you cancers over
they're like, what do you mean? And that makes me
think of You've Got Mail and the line in You've
Got Mail when Meg Ryan says to Tom Hanks about business,

(39:17):
you know, he's like, it's not personal, it's business. And
that's so Capricorn, right, It's not personal, it's business like,
it's just how we roll. And the cancer is like,
what do you mean? If anything begins, it begins by
being personal and then the business comes. That is cancer
Capricorn in a flipping nutshell. So to think about that, cancers,

(39:41):
it's like, it's just business. It's not personal. It's just business.
And don't worry, y'all. You're not becoming just business not personal.
This is balancing out of polarity. It should feel freaking
awkward and it should feel unfamiliar. Now I tell you what,
if you're a cancer son and a Capricorn moon, that's
the story of your life. Like that's the design of
your soul. So some of you may be listening out

(40:02):
there and being like, no, no, I get it. It's
the story of my life because that is your polarity.
Or you've got a Capricorn rising and you're a cancer moon,
that's part of your story in this lifetime of balancing that.
Now for you, Capricorns, you gotta be sensitive and empathetic

(40:22):
and gentle, not only with other people's feelings but your
own and not being afraid to freaking show your heart
and be vulnerable and let your dang guard down and
it to be personal, not just business. Let it be personal.
Let that softness lead you know in a beautiful example
of that, Capricorn wise is Capricorn's like, well, I just

(40:46):
need the vax, like, I just need to know what's happening.
It's not gonna hurt my feelings if this isn't done.
I just need to know what happening. What's happening, but
beneath that is, I mean, because there would not be
so much passion and energy behind that if feelings weren't involved. Right, So,
the Capricorn that is so astute and planning oriented and
grounded and really structured and can be divinely structured, it's

(41:13):
its most divine when it's actually sensitive and vulnerable. So
for you Capricorns out there, if you get angered about
something or frustrated with the minutia of people that you're
always managing, being like I'm exhausted, y'all, I don't feel
like doing this, Like I am exhausted. I'm exhausted of

(41:34):
all that. You know what rolling uphill or you know what?
You said that and it felt disorganized and like you
didn't have your act together. But it really hurt my
feelings that maybe this happened. So Capricorns, show your freaking
heart and your sensitivity. Melt for a little bit and
be soft, and don't look at that softness as messy

(41:57):
or a weakness, like be messy, be weak, And it's
not about you being messy or weak, but that's the
way a lot of you interpret. If I let things
down or if I don't hold the structure, then I'm
a mess something's wrong with me, and that's what's deep
down there. So in this polarity of these two energies,

(42:17):
it is an incredible fusion, but it may take a
little bit of effort. I think for all the polarities,
it does, but this one to me, and maybe it's
because it touches me personally, and I'm like, okay, I
got it all right. On to Leo and Aquarius. I
listen you, Leo's out there. This is more about thinking
collectively and globally, not just about yourself, because we know

(42:40):
that y'all are ruled by the sign and you like
being the center of attention, even though sometimes it's like
look at me, don't look at me. But ultimately, deep
down you want to be seen, and you want to
be seen in this incredibly heart centered, empowered way. But
that can get convoluted. But for you, it's about thinking
about the group, the bigger picture and sharing the spotlight,

(43:07):
giving others credit, collaborating, not needing to lead and take charge,
really sharing the spotlight. And it's an interesting energy to navigate.
But for you, as Leo's because you naturally know how
to show up and show out, even if you don't

(43:30):
always feel that way, because we know how sensitive you
are and perfect sagnistic about your performance. Okay, that is
the beauty of Leo. And remember Leo is about the
refinement and right sizing and divine sizing of ego. It's
about the healthiest expression of ego. And right now, the

(43:53):
healthiest expression of that is being a part of the
collaboration of not standing out in any way, sharing because
why not? And I think a good practice is where
do you collaborate and really appreciate other people shining? Who

(44:16):
do you admire? Think about that? Who do you really
freaking admire secretly in your heart? Who you like? Wow,
that person is a badass. Gosh, I want to be them. Okay,
well tell on yourself, like tell somebody else that. And
for you aquariuses, this is about to get awkward. Be

(44:36):
your own radiance, be your own light, take center stage,
be seen, don't deflect that light. No minimizing or shrinking
out of you know, shrinking into other people's comfort, you know,
or this false sense of humility, Aquarius, where you're like,
I'm good in the middle, I'm good in the crowd,
I'm good on like the outskirts of the crowd. No,

(44:58):
you need to like be the freaking line leader and
be seen and perform and like not make a spectacle
of yourself but almost feel that awkward that you're like
a caricature of yourself. And I'm being cheeky in this
because we know how awkward you are, Aquarius. And when
I say awkward, I mean quirky, unique and fabulous in

(45:18):
all the ways. But it's about really being seen. And
so with you, Aquarius, it's like take the spotlight, post
a picture on social media that you wouldn't normally post.
And I don't usually give social media as a really
great frame of reference. But when you're like, hmm, that's cheesy,
I'm not going to do that because we know you, Aquarius,

(45:39):
you're like you want to be You're the outliers, and
you don't do things at the same rhythm everybody else
does in the collective. That's when you're like, oh, yeah,
I'm going to post a cute birthday picture of myself celebrating,
you know, like, oh yeah, I just had this really
great day and got my nails done. I'm going to
post a picture for everybody. I mean, that's so Leo,
and like, do the things like what Leo would do,

(46:01):
Like do things where you feel like you're showing off
a little bit. That's the clearest way for me to
say it to you. And I am saying that with
so much reverence to our Leos because they comfortably show
and shine their light. Aquarius show off, and I don't
mean from your ego. Just show yourself off, be in

(46:23):
the spotlight. And last, but not least, we've got Virgo
and Pisces. So Virgos okay, like buckle up here and
freaking surrender your game plan, surrender your calendar and trust
the flow, loosen the control and the need to get
everything done efficiently, effectively and in your routine. It is

(46:44):
literally like throw the calendar out the window. And I'm
not talking about your literal calendar. I'm talking about that
one that you have beautifully and logically mapped out in
your mind that comes naturally to you. And that calendar
it's like, nope, let me be a little light, a
little quirky, and you know the what's come into mind
as I say that, throw your navigation system out the window.

(47:08):
Not really, don't do that and call me and be like,
I need a new iPhone, Amanda. Don't throw it out
the window. Literally, I did that one time a long
time ago, in a fit of rage. I threw a
phone out the window. And that was another lifetime ago,
probably fifteen years ago. I'm not very proud of that.
I don't recommend it. Literally, It's like, instead of putting
something in your maps on your phone or in your

(47:31):
car nave, just say, okay, how can I get there?
And maybe pull up the map and look at where
it is and then turn the map off and see
if you can get there, and if you get a
little loss, pull over and get directions and you know,
create enough time. Mercury is retrograde as we're talking about
this full moon. So this might drive you freaking nuts,
and you might feel like you're out of control and lost,

(47:51):
but surrender the plan and trust the flow. Feel again
that little bit of messiness or losing control and uncertainty
and feel the discomfort in it, but find the flow
and for you Pisces, get your freaking calendar out, Like,

(48:11):
get a calendar out, put a game plan together, focus
your vision, anchor your dreams into practical, practical, actionable steps,
and put it on a calendar. Literally over a handful
of days, map out a game plan and what you're
gonna do each day. I mean, get really freaking structured
about it, like you enjoy the heck out of it,

(48:33):
because Virgos enjoy the heck out of that kind of stuff,
the planning. And I know my heavy Virgo people in life,
and I'm like, they do it. They do it ahead
of time, they get it done. Pisces, y'all are like, Okay,
it's gonna get done. It's gonna be amazing, but not
so big on the details. Be detailed, Be so precise
and detailed, and take the action around. If you're planning

(48:53):
something right now, be the one that say, I'm gonna
make the plans and I am really I'm not gonna
like this, but I'm gonna be really strung ructured in it,
and I'm going to follow up and follow through and
get everybody organized. Do something that really creates a framework
of organization and Virgo feel disorganized in order to find
the flow, let go of data and timelines and punctuation

(49:19):
and accountability a bit and lighten up in your field.
So using this practice, I hope you all found it helpful.
And remember, like I said, use your sun moon and
your rising, and for each of those, pull out the
themes and what you're doing. And know that you're not
just working with one energy. You're working with your Sun

(49:40):
moon and your rising, so you're working with multiple polarities here.
And if it's too much for you, just do your son,
you know. But I think it's fun to pull out
all three aspects of yourself and looking at those polarities
and how you can tie that in. I'm going to
do it. I've already thought about it, and it feels

(50:02):
like this most of this month is this rebalancing energy,
and the beauty of it is once we get to
the sun entering Virgo and the Virgo new moon the
twenty second twenty third of August, and then remember we
have Venus moving in to Leo the twenty fifth, the

(50:23):
new moon in Virgo at zero degrees. I love Virgo
new moons because they're about starting a new routine, anything
that relates to my day to day life, health and wellness,
and they're also about being useful, being practical, and of service.
But guess what that new moon kicks off. It kicks

(50:43):
off eclipse season because in September we have two major
eclipses and that Virgo new moon basically opens the gateway
into eclipse season. So the fine tuning you do in
that first two thirds of the month set you up

(51:04):
for big time transformation shifts and changes in the months
ahead through Eclipse season and into twenty twenty six. And
you can use this polarity practice even at the Virgo
new moon to see what you've learned, what has shifted,

(51:25):
and from that perspective that Virgo new moon, which I
have something coming up on the Virgo new moon that
I will talk about in a next podcast, And if
you're not on my newsletter, you should hop on it.
I don't send a ton of newsletters out, but there's
a link to it in the show notes of this podcast,
so get on the newsletter. But I will probably have

(51:47):
a new moon ceremony to engage with and initiate a
clipse season on that new moon, so stay tuned for
that or hop on the newsletter for more details. But
that Virgo new moon at this zero degree point and
the initiation of a clipse season. It ushers in some
refinement of old lessons that have changed within us. And

(52:13):
it's a very clarifying and strategic new moon that will
basically jumpstart your eclipse season if you utilize that energy
well and the energy of this month. And again, this
is not about perfection. It is about finding your center

(52:36):
of gravity today, remembering you are both the architect and
the architecture. It's tetris, y'all. This month is total tetris.
And when I think about playing Tetris, it makes me
laugh because it's a game. It's just a game. And
sometimes looking at this life and the matrix and the

(52:58):
energy and all the things, it's like, how can you
play life like a game? And I don't mean be
a player, but I mean, how can you be the
composer of this beautiful symphony of your life and very
connected to the music and the symphony that you are

(53:19):
composing and feel empowered through your true divine essence. So
remember this whole month is a portal, and it's like
the polarity is the portal. Be the source code, be
the signal and transmit to the frequency, take care of everyone. Bewill.
