70 Transits & Tarot of August 2025 Part 2

In this episode, we dive into the second half of August’s astrology and tarot, weaving together the deep discernment of Virgo Season, the new beginning of our first Virgo New Moon (with a second coming next month super powered by an eclipse!), and the rare and significant astrological event of Pluto going out of bounds.

Our Soulful of Wisdom tarot spread includes the Two of Wands, The Hierophant, The High Priestess, and the Eight of Cups—guiding us toward aligned visions, intuitive truth, and cultivating the courage to walk away from what no longer fits towards that which calls our name at every fork in the road.
