Grandpa Bill will be joined by my co host Tam Veilleux on 8/27/25 at 1 p.m. EDT at our Wellness Wisdom edition of my BH Sales Kennel kelp Holistic Healing Hour Podcast. She will expand on the prelude/overview topics GB outlines in this video. Energy Almanac 2025 & 2026!
The month of August has been a period of significant planetary activity, urging us to find a balance between external action and internal reflection. This is a time of both excitement and potential challenge, setting the stage for major shifts as we head into the last part of the year.
Planetary Conjunctions and Alignments: The first part of August saw a powerful series of conjunctions. On August 6th, the second of three conjunctions between Saturn and Neptune occurred. This cosmic pairing of structure (Saturn) and intuition (Neptune) has been creating a period of deep karmic reflection and testing our patience. It's a time when we may be asked to face the consequences of past actions and to be more measured and thoughtful in our approach. This is an excellent opportunity to discuss how this might be a theme in the 2026 Almanac, as the final conjunction is coming up in February 2026.
Venus and Jupiter's Close Approach: On August 12th, the two brightest planets, Venus and Jupiter, had a spectacular conjunction. This is a beautiful and expansive energy, bringing themes of abundance, love, and growth to the forefront. This event may have brought feelings of optimism and hope, a stark contrast to the heavier Saturn-Neptune energy.
The Perseid Meteor Shower: Also peaking on August 12th, the Perseid meteor shower added a layer of excitement and cosmic wonder to the sky. Meteor showers are often seen as times of powerful inspiration, new beginnings, and making wishes.
The Full Moon and New Moon: We had a Full Moon on August 9th, a time of culmination, emotional release, and letting go of what no longer serves us. Following that, the New Moon on August 23rd (just a day after your show!) marks a moment for setting new intentions and planting the seeds for future growth.
Mercury's Movement: While Mercury is not in retrograde at this time, its current position and relationship with other planets are still influencing communication and thought processes. It's a good time to emphasize clear and mindful communication, especially with the more intense planetary energies in play.
Saturn Retrograde: Saturn has been in retrograde since July 13th, and as the month progressed, its influence has become more pronounced. This retrograde period in Pisces is a time to re-evaluate our long-term goals and the foundations we've built. It can bring challenges but also opportunities for immense personal growth and stability if we are willing to do the internal work.
