PLANETARY DYNAMICS

For Aquarius ascendant natives, Saturn—your ascendant lord—will remain retrograde in the second house throughout August 2025.

Mercury will be retrograde in Cancer (6th house) until August 11th, then direct until August 30th. The Sun–Mercury conjunction (Budh Aditya Yoga) will influence your sixth house until August 16th, after which the Sun shifts to Leo in your seventh house.

Venus and Jupiter will stay in your fifth house until August 20th. After that, Venus joins Mercury in the sixth house, forming a powerful Mahalaxmi Yoga. Meanwhile, Mars will transit your eighth house all month, creating Samsaptak Yoga with Saturn.

HEALTH

You may experience mental restlessness—phobias, confusion, anxiety, depression, or overthinking could cloud your peace of mind. Stomach issues may also trouble you, especially due to erratic eating habits.

Be mindful of your diet: strictly avoid oily food, junk, non-veg, and alcohol—especially whiskey and beer. This period is sensitive, and mental imbalances could make it harder to stay composed. Take extra care of both your physical and emotional well-being.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE

This month will be average overall, but Mercury in your sixth house offers some support. The Jupiter-Venus conjunction will help you make smart moves, though results might fall short of expectations.

Since your ascendant lord Saturn is retrograde, it signals a need to focus on fixing second-house matters first—mainly family and relationships with elders. A retrograde planet demands extra effort here; if ignored, issues will keep recurring, trapping you in a cycle. Once you stabilize this area, you’ll see steady gains in your career and business.

Before August 20th, with Jupiter and Venus together in your fifth house, expect good returns from old investments, the stock market, and speculation. This period is productive, especially for teachers or educational entrepreneurs—promotions and growth are likely.

Jupiter’s presence in the fifth house also favors relationships: unmarried individuals may marry, and existing relationships may deepen. Married couples will receive strong spousal support and improved mental stability. Your hard work will pay off, but some effort and struggle are necessary.

Mercury’s retrograde until August 11th may cause challenges with debts or enemies, but once it goes direct, these issues will ease. Stay balanced and cautious with family and business partnerships—avoid conflicts and keep communication polite and respectful.

After August 16th, with the Sun transiting your seventh house, watch for ego clashes with your spouse or business partners. Maintaining harmony is key—respect and kindness will prevent misunderstandings and keep things under control.

If you’re under the influence of malefic planets like Rahu or Ketu, this month might feel tougher. But if you are currently under Mahadasha or Antardasha of Jupiter or Venus, opportunities will come your way. Remember, slow and steady wins the race—especially for Aquarius ascendants.

REMEDIES FOR THE MONTH

1. Focus first on your family, especially your elders, as Saturn is retrograde in your second house. Paying attention to family matters will help everything else fall into place smoothly. Ignoring this may cause you to get stuck in various challenges.

2. On Saturday, bury 800 grams of powdered kohl in uncultivated soil. Also, light a mustard oil lamp under a peepal tree.

3. Avoid wearing black or blue cloth, as Saturn is retrograde in your second house. Stay clear of taking on others’ responsibilities right now to prevent unnecessary burdens.
