PLANETARY DYNAMICS

Jupiter, your ascendant lord, will transit your 7th house throughout August, joined by Venus until August 20th. This powerful conjunction favors marriage for singles, deepens relationships, and strengthens partnerships. Your resources and support system will grow.

Mercury will be retrograde in your 8th house from August 1st to 11th, then turn direct and remain there until August 30th, before shifting to your 9th house. Handle paperwork, financial decisions, and communication with care before the 11th.

The Sun will transit your 8th house (Cancer) until August 16th, then move into your 9th house (Leo)—a significant and uplifting shift. With the lord of fortune (Sun) moving into the house of fortune, and Jupiter protecting your 7th house, this marks a turning point in personal and professional alliances.

After August 20th, Venus will move into the 8th house, joining Mercury and forming a potential Mahalaxmi Yoga—a sign of unexpected wealth, hidden gains, or legacy-related fortune. Saturn will also continue its retrograde transit in this month.

Meanwhile, Mars will transit through Virgo in your 10th house this month—a powerful placement for career breakthroughs, leadership roles, and strong visibility in your profession.

HEALTH

Your ascendant lord, Jupiter, is aspecting your ascendant, which offers strong protection and overall well-being. Major health issues are unlikely this month.

However, Mercury, the lord of your 7th house, will remain retrograde in the 8th house until August 11th. During this period, you may experience minor digestive issues, especially related to the stomach and intestines, or occasional nervous system sensitivity. Be mindful of your diet, hydration, and mental stress levels during the first half of the month.

After August 11th, when Mercury goes direct, any discomfort will likely ease. Thanks to Jupiter’s stabilizing influence, no serious health concerns are expected, and your energy levels will remain balanced.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE

After August 11th, when Mercury turns direct, the energy begins to shift in your favor. And from August 16th, as the Sun enters your own sign’s ninth house—the house of luck—a powerful and fortunate phase begins.

Career & Finances: Income will rise. New business partnerships and collaborations will take shape. If you're jobless, strong opportunities will come your way. If you're employed but overwhelmed with responsibility and stress, things will begin to ease after the 16th. Business owners facing high investment with no returns will start seeing profits. Expect multiple income sources to open up.

Spiritual & Personal Growth: You may embark on a spiritual journey or pilgrimage. Religious activities and devotion will increase. Your relationship with your father will improve, and family support will strengthen. The ninth house activation brings divine protection and clarity.

Relationships: If married, your bond with your spouse will grow deeper. Support from your life partner and business associates will bring emotional stability and professional strength. Singles may meet a meaningful partner.

Venus-Mercury Mahalakshmi Yoga (Post August 20): Venus moves into your 8th house and joins Mercury, forming a powerful Mahalakshmi Yoga. This brings potential gains from hidden or inherited wealth, good returns from stock market, intra day trading, or speculative activities -  lottery, gaming, or other unconventional sources. If you are related to fields of research, astrology, or secretive professions you will make good profits.

Property & Business Gains: Mars transiting your 10th house (Virgo) is a strong indicator of career growth, especially in property, real estate, or construction. Expect new contracts or increased sales in those areas.

Jupiter's Impact on your ascendant lord, is transiting the 7th house, casting powerful aspects on:

Ascendant: Boosting confidence, presence, and personal glow

3rd house: Improving communication, networking, and courage

11th house: Enhancing income, recognition, and social success

People will be naturally drawn to your charm and energy. You'll radiate positivity, and influential contacts will enter your life.

After August 16th, you step into a golden phase—where effort meets luck. Fame, fortune, spiritual growth, and financial prosperity are all aligned for you. As they say: When luck rises in your ninth house, even mud turns to gold. This is your time to shine, lead, and prosper. Be ready to rule your destiny.

Remedies for the month

1. Worship Lord Vishnu throughout the month. Every Thursday evening, prepare and offer 1.25 kg of sweet yellow rice as prasad to Lord Vishnu. After offering, distribute it among the needy or people outside the temple.

2. If you’re a Sagittarius ascendant woman, observe a fast on Thursdays. This simple act of devotion can work wonders. Begin chanting the Vishnu Sahasranama regularly—ideally starting on a Thursday evening—and continue it for 43 days, or consistently throughout the month of August 2025.

August 2025 is your month—a time filled with opportunities, respect, good health, prosperity, and deep emotional joy with family and friends.
