SUN: The first half of August sees the Sun moving through watery Cancer with retrograde Mercury, pulling us through an emotional environment where we may not be sure what to say or how to express feelings. August 16th, the Sun moves into his own sign of Leo, normally a powerful transit for the Sun. Ketu’s presence in Leo challenges leadership and self expression through mid-September while Saturn’s aspect brings limitations.

MOON: August begins with a waxing Moon that becomes full in Capricorn on August 10th, urging us to slow down and look around as we seek clarity. Through the middle of August, the Moon wanes, joining the Sun in Leo for the new Moon on August 22nd where we take stock, re-set, and prepare to pivot.

MARS: Mars is in Virgo for all of August, leading us to take stock and regroup as we move forward deliberately into new campaigns while learning and healing from the sting of recent past lessons.

MERCURY: Retrograde Mercury splashes in Cancer through August 10th, when he resumes direct motion and helps us sort our way out of snags. Use the latter part of August to pick up dropped threads, process emotionally, and reorganize communication and organizational tools.

JUPITER: Jupiter continues to teach and preach from the streets of urban Gemini, bringing expansive enthusiasm for learning and growing. Until August 20th, Venus joins Jupiter, bringing positive creative energy to the signs of Gemini and Sagittarius.

VENUS: Venus, ruler of social responsibility and relationships, joins Jupiter in Gemini through August 20th, urging us to attend to our learning trajectories and business management. When Venus joins Mercury in Cancer on August 20th, our attention may turn toward healing activities, including socializing with our close friends and family.

SATURN: Saturn continues to churn and turn in Pisces in retrograde motion, walking us back collectively through the territory he traversed in the spring. This could show up as walking back on some f

Tune into the astrological trends of June 2025 with Kerry's monthly Vedic astrology forecast. With all of the planets in forward motion and set in their new spots, we feel momentum building and invitations to plant seeds and foster growth.

SUN: The Sun keeps our focus on relationships, business, family, and communications in June. The first two weeks of June, the Sun finishes shining in Taurus, moves to Gemini on June 14th and joins Jupiter, firing up the big, warm growth engine through mid-July.

MOON: The Moon is waxing in early June coming into its full point on June 11th in the intuitive sign of Scorpio, bringing inner clarity that may not translate to logical reasoning. As June progresses, the waning Moon urges us to find quiet time during busy days. Pause fully at the new Moon in Gemini which joins the Sun and Jupiter on June 25th.

MARS: Mars finally blazes out of debilitation in Cancer on June 6th, where he gathers strength and strategy for a powerful Leo transit through July. While we may feel ready to hit the road at full speed, we may encounter obstacles that make us think again due to Ketu’s obstructive presence in Leo. Plan ahead for potential frustration to have a proper outlet valve.

MERCURY: Mercury is on the bounce in June, spanning three signs; the first week of June, Mercury is happy in Taurus. June 6 – 22, Mercury is ecstatic in Gemini joining Jupiter, and from June 22 onward through the summer, Mercury is found in Cancer. The first few weeks of June are great for organizing, multitasking, learning, and having fun!

JUPITER: Jupiter is setting up his new classroom as he moves through the early degrees of Gemini, receiving visits from Sun and Mercury during June. The main thing to watch is the mutual aspect of Jupiter and Rahu which is creating a rapid rise enviroment in all of the air signs: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. Watch what you wish for!

VENUS: Venus spends most of June in Aries, feeling the heat and getting primed for a productive time in the studio once she moves into Taurus on June 29th. This is passionate energy that can be harnessed for new projects and collaborations. June is for gathering materials, July is for creating with them.

SATURN: Saturn alone remains in the watery expanse of Pisces after the dramatic events of the Spring. While most of our consciousness is on board with our new directions, realize that there is a deep process occuring beneath the waves, inviting us to integrate the lessons that have come our way over the past couple decades

Tune into the astrological trends of May 2025with Kerry's monthly Vedic astrology forecast.The latter half of May sees Jupiter, Rahu, and Ketu changing signs while the inner planets are moving forward toward new horizons, breaking up some of the intense combinations of March and April. By early June, we could feel as if we’ve truly moved on with confidence.

SUN: The Sun begins May by finishing his Aries transit, helping us to initiate new beginnings with our whole hearts. On May 14, Sun moves to Taurus encouraging us to take time for our creative efforts and relationships.

MOON: The full Moon of May 12th lands in Libra, ushering us through small or large victories that lead us into the next chapter. The Moon wanes through the latter part of May, coming into union with the Sun in Taurus on May 26th, inviting us to ground and re-set. Both lunar events of May occur in Venus signs while Venus remains exalted, bringing connective vibes all month!

MARS: For all of May, Mars is in Cancer, which could be challenging in the sense of maintaining focus and efficiency. With Rahu’s aspect receding, the boat could become more steady as the month goes on. This is good energy for mustering emotional courage.

MERCURY: Mercury’s on the move in May, squeezing from Pisces into Aries on May 6th, and racing forward to Taurus on May 23rd. This is an indication that we’ve got projects and plans moving forward; with intelligent Mercury moving fast, take time to slow down and double check details.

JUPITER: Positive, growth promoting, and abundant, Jupiter guides us on our path and reminds us to find our teachers and teachings. On May 14th Jupter moves away from Taurus and into Gemini, which will be benefit the air signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. Rapid and variable growth patterns are expected, especially for education related projects.

VENUS: Venus spends most of May in exaltation and moving away from chaos created by the action in Pisces through March and April. Tune in to your divine flow and begin to reconnect channels that may have been disrupted. Venus moves to Aries on May 29th which makes June go time for creative projects.

SATURN: Saturn and Rahu continue their wrestling match through mid-May, beginning to release grip and slide in opposite directions. We are moving out of the phase where we analyze what we want vs what is possible and settling into creating a routine that will support our new advances.

RAHU: The shadow planet Rahu, symbolized as a disembodied head, moves out

Tune into the astrological trends of April 2025with Kerry's monthly Vedic astrology forecast.March madness continues into April as retrograde Mercury and Venus buzz around Pisces. Expect a tipping point at the full Moon on April 12th and then let gravity take its course. Find a balance between letting go of the defunct and preserving what produces.

NINE PLANETS SUMMARY

SUN: The Sun faces some turbulence navigating out of troubled waters during the first half of April, when we could face big decisions that need fast answers. April 13th sees the Sun disembarking into Aries, his sign of exaltation, where we begin forward progress and strategic execution.

MOON: Early April sees the Moon waxing, mentally preparing us for the tipping point that comes with the full Moon at the last degree of Virgo on April 12th. It’s time to move from transition to initiation and creation. The Moon wanes as April winds down, coming to a new Moon in Aries on April 27th, inviting us to root into our new directions.

MARS: On April 2nd, Mars roves back into Cancer for another deep dive into emotional processing. The plan is to face fears, be accountable, and find courage to move forward even though discomfort is your companion. In the depths of these waters lies the desire that fuels you. This opportunity for vulnerability is ripe through June 6th.

MERCURY: Mercury’s retrograde cycle in Pisces stops on April 7th, when we should all take a small break and get our bearings before attempting to be on our way. We may still be bearing with confusion, choices, and incomplete data sets as Mercury swims toward shore, following the Sun into Aries on May 6th. Slow down and be deliberate.

JUPITER: April is Jupiter’s last full calendar month in Taurus, so watch out for those sprouts coming up in the earth signs as Jupiter scatters his parting seeds in hopes of future growth opportunities. Now is the time to creatively integrate lessons that are soon to springboard you in new directions.

VENUS: Venus has completed her transition to morning appearance and will begin to shine before sunrise in the stars of Pisces during April. April 12th sees Venus resuming direct motion in the midst of a very intense conjunction of Rahu and Saturn. April will be an enormous diplomacy challenge that sees the masses pulling together for a common cause.

SATURN: Saturn embarks upon a nearly three year journey through Pisces in April, immediately coming into a tight meeting with Rahu, which could cause confusion and sudden situations that have long term consequences. Ma

This is the story of Surya and Shani, in English known as the Sun and Saturn, known enemies in the array of the planetary cabinet. With the Sun as our champion of individual expression and Saturn as the representative of the diverse collective, the interaction of these two forces in a horoscope can give us great clues about how we shine and how we're humble.
