New Moons represent the start of a new lunar cycle and the start of a new cycle in our own lives. We can use the New Moon as our signpost that it’s never too late to begin again. We can wipe the slate clean, think of things in a new way, and allow ourselves to be surprised by new opportunities.
Six planets line up across the sky from August 17th to 20th !
A planetary alignment is an astronomical event when planets gather closely on one side of the Sun at the same time. On the 18-19 August 2025: six planets are visible in the night sky, with Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn being visible to the naked eye thanks to their brilliance, while Uranus and Neptune will require optical instruments.
* 18.08. 2025: Full six-planet alignment plus Moon in a perfect arc, best visibility
* 20-21.08. 2025: Moon shifts, forms triangle with Venus & Jupiter, then aligns near Mercury.
Should the month of August 2025 be a month of personal liberation and great choices or should it represent the end of a Karmas cleansing ?
Let’s have a look at the chart!
This New Moon will be especially potent due to its placement at 0° Virgo, a position considered to hold the purest and most powerful energy of the sign, potentially signifying major new beginnings for those with strong Virgo placements in their birth chart.
The Virgo energy is concerned with purity is also important to see that this NM is located in the axis Virgo-Pisces, the same signs hosting the nodes (South node in Virgo-North Node in Pisces).Mercury still play the role of the scout planet, finishing its course in Leo.
It is time to reorganize the past in order to open the door to a bright future.
Don Juan used to feed Castaneda with the concept of “erasing your personal story”,meaning getting rid of the past, cleansing the toxic behaviours like fear, guilt, anger, stupidity, and cutting the tentacles of the ego.
Spot on the mutable cross:
From Leo to Virgo, we skip from a fixed cross to a mutable cross. Mutable signs (Virgo-Pisces-Gemini -Sagittarius) are known for their adaptability We are dealing with the Cross of change, fluidity, form, body nature, organization, nurturing and taking care of others.
The mutable cross is linked to a path of evolution and gradual development due to experiencing actions and reactions, responses to shocks and impact, karmic weight.
This mutable cross often leads to the awakening of awareness.
Key word: MUTATION
The subtle alignment and the impulse of the earth:
If I had to make a parallel between the planet alignment of August and a shamanic concept from the Nagualist path... here it is!
Extracts from The Fire from Within-Carlos Castaneda
... The old seers saw that the earth is covered by a cocoon. They saw that the earth is wrapped by a ball, a luminous cocoon that trap the emanations of the Eagle. The earth is a gigantic sentient being like us.
.. He explained to me that what he called the universal key... it is an impulse that comes from the consciousness of the earth, at the moment when the inner emanations in the warriors' cocoon align with the appropriate inner emanations in the earth’s cocoon.
... Warriors can use this alignment either for to perceive, as everyone does, either in the way of an impulse that allows them to enter unimaginable worlds.
... The *assemblage point assemblies other worlds, aided by the impulse of earth.
... We, human beings are individuals who perceive, he says. And we perceive because there are certain emanations within the cocoon of man align with certain external emanations. Alignment is therefore the secret passage and the impulse of the earth is the key.
