Storm's Weekly Breakdown for August 11, 2025 – August 17, 2025

This week’s VIP is the trickster God, Mercury. Transiting Mercury stirs the mental pot—activating  communication, decisions, and daily distractions. It colors your thoughts based on sign, targets specific life zones by house, and adds flavor through aspects. Direct or retrograde, Mercury reveals how you process reality, spill the tea, and sometimes—accidentally—text your ex. Mind your message.

Mercury Direct in Leo: Mercury turns direct in Leo, and the mental fog lifts with a theatrical bow. After weeks of second-guessing and stalled expression, your voice is ready for its spotlight moment. This isn’t about whispering your truth—it’s about owning it with style. Speak boldly, but don’t bulldoze. Clarity, confidence, and creativity return, especially in areas tied to performance, leadership, and self-expression. Just make sure your message reflects heart, not just ego. The mic is yours—use it wisely.

Saturn in Aries Rx sextile Uranus in Gemini: Saturn retrograde in Aries sextile Uranus in Gemini is your personal invite to rebel with a purpose. This is about restructuring your identity without blowing it to bits. Discipline meets disruption, and if you’re willing to reflect on your reactions, you can rewrite your instincts for the better. Don’t just break rules—replace them with ones that actually work. Innovation sticks best with scaffolding, and this transit gives you the rare chance to build brilliance from the inside out.

Venus conjoins Jupiter in Cancer: Venus conjunct Jupiter in Cancer is like emotional crème brûlée—sweet, rich, and best savored slowly. This isn’t superficial romance; it’s the sacred art of nurturing what truly matters. Love expands, but only where it feels safe, seen, and soul-fed. Family ties, creative callings, and homegrown dreams get the green light. Just watch for overgiving or emotional sugar highs. The key? Give where it heals, receive where it restores, and let connection become your currency.

The Moon in Aries: The Moon in Aries doesn’t ask permission—it kicks the door open and demands action. Emotions run hot, tempers flare fast, and patience is nowhere to be found. This is a Moon that favors bold moves, blunt truths, and emotional honesty with a side of sass. It’s excellent for initiating change or tackling long-avoided tasks. Just don’t confuse impulse with intuition. Channel the fire into progress, not provocation—or you’ll end up fighting battles that didn’t need to be fought.

Mars in Libra sextile Mercury in Leo: Mars in Libra sextile Mercury in Leo turns charm into a weapon and words into strategy. This is polished persuasion at its finest—Mars pushes the conversation forward, while Mercury delivers the message with flair and confidence. It’s the perfect moment to negotiate, debate, or pitch an idea without bulldozing anyone. Say what you mean, mean what you say, and do it with style. Just remember: charisma is powerful, but manipulation has a short shelf life.

Friday, August 15, 2025

The Moon in Taurus: The Moon in Taurus wants comfort, stability, and a damn good reason to change anything. Emotions slow down, but don’t mistake that for weakness—this Moon is steady, loyal, and stubborn as hell. It’s an ideal time to focus on finances, self-care, and whatever soothes the senses. But be warned: once Taurus digs in, it doesn’t budge. Craving peace and pudding in equal measure, this transit reminds us that reliability isn’t boring—it’s sacred.

Saturday, August 16, 2025 – Sunday August 17, 2025

The Moon in Gemini: The Moon in Gemini turns the volume up on thoughts, chatter, and mental multitasking. Emotions come with a side of overthinking, and it’s easier to talk about feelings than actually feel them. Expect restlessness, rapid-fire conversations, and a craving for variety. It’s a great time for writing, connecting, or learning something new—just don’t expect emotional depth to take center stage. Keep it light, stay flexible, and remember: not every thought deserves a microphone.
