Veteran astrologer and Mystical Messages podcast host Hilary Harley shares her cosmic forecast for the month of August 2025. Messenger Mercury is retrograde as the month opens, allowing plenty of time to rest, re-set and relax. If you haven’t taken vacation yet this summer, the first part of August is the perfect time to refresh yourself. Manage your expectations about how much you will accomplish during the first ten days of August.

Under the spotlight of the full moon in radical Aquarius on Saturday, August 9th, Mercury turns direct motion the very next day. Sunday, August 10th we can begin moving forward with signing major documents, purchasing large ticket items or booking travel plans. Leo Mercury aligns helpfully to Neptune and Saturn in Aries pushing us to take risks and go for it! It is especially safe to do so now that both Valuable Venus and Generous Jupiter are in nurturing Cancer the Crab. This duo has our back and acts as a guardian angel. Watch for silver linings.

Our grand designs are called into sharp focus at the New Moon on Saturday, August 23rd. In practical Virgo, both Sun and Moon prompt us to get real, to make a plan and execute our ideas. Remember to hand write 3-5 goals or intentions that you seek to manifest. Plant these in the warm, soft earth to manifest over the coming month or season.

Mystical Messages host Hilary Harley discusses Good is Amazing, the new book by Heather Campbell, writer, CEO and motivational speaker. Heather’s purpose in life is to help people be seen, heard, and celebrated. As an engaging strategic expert, she’s worked to open people up to possibilities, framing pathways for achievement, and igniting actions. As co-founder of Ready Set Recover, and former senior executive at ESPN and Audacy, she intimately understands the toll of overachievement—and the liberation that comes from letting go.

Good is Amazing challenges the culture of overachievement and champions the power of good. What if striving to be “the best” is what’s actually holding us back? In a world obsessed with unicorns, GOATs, and relentless self-improvement, Heather’s book delivers a refreshing—and bold—reframe: good is not just enough—good is amazing. Good is Amazing, Heather shares relatable, hilarious, and heartfelt moments from her life—like when her mom begged her to become President of the United States, or when an ESPN executive casually told her to “just make the book a New York Times bestseller.”

These snapshots anchor a deeper message: the constant pressure to aim higher, do the most, and be the best is exhausting—and it’s not working. “We’re taught that “more” is always the goal,” Campbell says. “But this endless race is leaving us anxious, disconnected, and unhappy.” With wit, warmth, and wisdom, Campbell invites readers to consider a radical idea: What if stopping the chase for perfection and instead embracing good—the joy, simplicity, and genuine satisfaction it brings—is the real secret to success? Each chapter blends real talk, personal insight, and simple, actionable steps to help readers slow down, breathe, and reconnect with what really matters. Professionals, students, caregivers, entrepreneurs—anyone burdened by the relentless pursuit of perfection—will find powerful inspiration here. Good is Amazing is available now online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Astrologer and soul guide Hilary Harley delivers the cosmic forecast for July 2025. This month we are downshifting out of the fast lane happening in May and June, on to the slower more scenic route. Three planetary retrogrades occur within just two weeks, including dreamy Neptune and Taskmaster Saturn in Aries, followed by Messenger Mercury shifting in reverse from July 17th to August 11th. Best to hold off on major purchases including homes, cars, appliances and communication devices during late July and early August. Instead, this is the perfect time to take a day off, long weekend or more, for a body-mind-soul vacation.

Change agent Uranus enters communicative Gemini on July 6th. How we receive and share information will develop remarkably over the next seven year Uranus cycle. It has been 76 years since the last time (1941-1949) Uranus passed through Gemini, where we saw the rise of mass communication via television. By 2033 when Uranus moves out of Gemini, imagine how we will exchange information!
