Astrological Influences, August 2025: Prepare for Evolution

By Crystal Pomeroy

A vibrant, large pink flower with delicate petals is set against a colorful, galaxy-like background with scattered small white stars.

The stars of August include two historic configurations: the Saturn-Neptune conjunction that’s been characterizing the year so far, and a Minor Grand Trine (also known as a Magical Trine or Talent Trine) involving the three transpersonal planets: mystical Neptune, freeing Uranus, and empowering Pluto. This is the first such configuration among these three in over 1500 years.

With Saturn the builder involved, this evolutionary opportunity becomes tangible, and one which we can work to ground. The pairing of Saturn-Neptune dissolves familiar structures and, in individualistic Aries, sparks us to rebuild our identity from a more compassionate, creative wavelength (the ICE agents are a demonic or shadow side of this potential).

With liberator Uranus in sextile to Saturn-Neptune, we are getting freed—or bumped—in sudden ways that trigger opportunities. Some of these come in strange abrupt revelations that cannot be buried (ring any bells?). The unlikely planetary couple are also in sextile to transformational Pluto, who happens to be taking a trine from Uranus, his rebellious ruler.

All four planets cover a 120-degree section of the zodiac with a trine and two sextiles. This extremely rare configuration, the Minor Grand Trine between the three slowest planets, jump-starts an evolution—in consciousness, in identity (with Aries involved), in opportunities to apply our talents, and in spiritual power. Saturn in the mix can brings special challenges and special gifts: we can take a realistic look, get organized, and muster the discipline to ground the opportunities in a lasting way.

The challenges: Neptune with Saturn can dissolve familiar structures and Uranus with Saturn can add a tyrannical element to the use of authority, as can Pluto.

The effects of major transits between transpersonal planets are said to be generational. Yet what’s going on this month affects us all personally. As the Magical Trine perfects, the personal planets buzz around the zodiac, activating this configuration in a series of rapid transits, as you can see below—and in this month’s Daily Success Guide. Their contacts give us a chance to integrate evolutionary energies into our daily lives, thoughts, relationships. and actions. And they challenge us to exercise our personal authority, or end up getting tyrannized—even further than we already are.

We can’t expect to be comforted or reassured by institutions, rulers, or systems. However, with Saturn retrograde, we can retrieve a sense of…
