August 17-25 2025: Farewell to the Dog Days
“If you do not fill your energetic field with new experiences, new ideas, and new versions of yourself, your field becomes dim and worn, bored with the same old story.” Barbara Marciniak
Lorna Bevan – Finally…. we’re leaving the debilitating Dog Days of August behind, about to dip our toes into Virgo season and welcome the first inklings of the chance for grounding and renewal.
Btw, the debilitating Dog Days between mid- July and mid -August are so called because in early Roman Egyptian times that’s when Sirius the Dog Star (Canis Major) rose with the Sun bringing the hottest weather and the annual flooding of the Nile. So, if you’re feeling ragged, drained, sluggish, burnt out…take heart.
On August 21, the Sun enters Virgo followed hours later by the first of two New Moons in this sign this year. This one is at 1 Virgo-the next will be a potent solar eclipse at the Master degree of 29 Virgo on September 21st. (Much more on the impact of September’s two eclipses in my September Report for paid subscribers released at the end of this week.)
Sweeping Out the Dust and Debris
As the Sun and the New Moon move from Yang fiery Leo into Yin Earthy Virgo, you’ll begin to notice just how big a pile of 2025’s dust and debris- emotional, physical, etheric- needs sweeping out and sweeping away.
Take it slowly, start small, maybe do some gentle de-cluttering…whatever turns out to be the next right thing.
No need to rush -in only two weeks’ time the powerful Total lunar eclipse across Pisces/Virgo will be your ally, your personal assistant, in permanently recycling, remixing or removing anything that is no longer on your wavelength.
Right now, the clarity is not there-your windows of perception are cloudy, streaky and covered with cobwebs.
Be patient-the New Moon is downloading new information direct from the Triple Zero Activation of Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius, Saturn/Neptune Retrograde in Aries and Uranus retrograde in Gemini.
Make the most of your ON Windows – the moments, hours, days when creation/action flows with ease and grace
Notice when you’re suddenly taken “OFFLINE” and stop
As the elements and seasons shift, grounding in nature is especially healing. Walk or meditate outside to rejuvenate, even for a few minutes. Get in natural water when you can.

Chandra Symbol New Moon VIRGO 1: A volcano erupting at night.
“Burning through restrictions. Taking on and transmuting the world of ordinary consciousness. Inwardly erupting with all that it leaves out, you become a conduit for the suppressed, the repressed, and the denied facets of self and life. Aching and longing to turn the world around, you are given to subtle or obvious ways to channel and express what lives inside, you feel intensely committed to bringing it all together in your everyday life. Saturated with deep impressions of what this Earth is moving through” Inside Degrees Elias Lonsdale
