In this week’s episode of Soul Archaeology, evolutionary astrologer Ali Ofstedal explores a powerful turning point in August 2025. Mercury stations direct in Leo and Venus meets Jupiter in Cancer, both guiding us toward clarity, heart-centered choices, and deeper alignment with our values.
We’ll look at how Mercury’s emergence from the underworld helps us integrate recent revelations, why the Venus–Jupiter conjunction is a rare opportunity for emotional expansion, and how both events prepare us for September’s eclipse season.
Ali also unpacks the rich web of aspects surrounding these transits:
Mercury direct in Leo trine Saturn and Neptune in Aries
Venus conjunct Jupiter in Cancer trine the North Node in Pisces
Grand trine in air between Uranus, Mars, and Pluto
Mars opposite Saturn and Neptune grounding passion in discipline
The subtle foreshadowing of eclipse season shifts
Whether you’re seeking grounded insight or soulful guidance, this episode will help you work with August’s astrology to orient toward what’s truly valuable, release mental noise, and step forward with clarity.
