Energy forecast for August 2025

August is a month to work with tree energy, say the guides. Indeed, we may need them to help us stay calm and balanced. Here's the energy forecast for August 2025, plus three healing stones to work with now.

This morning, I walked my dog along a tree-lined street in our neighborhood. As we strolled, I became aware of an energy reaching out to me. It was the trees. Old, established, these trees are full of wisdom. I thought to myself, "Of course, they're a network." But as they whispered to me of nurturing and connection, I realized these trees think of themselves as much more than a network—they are a family.

And that experience with the trees can't be a coincidence, because just an hour before our walk, the guides had mentioned that trees will offer a source of comfort in the weeks to come. Apparently, the energy of August continues the pattern of destruction, chaos and renewal begun in July. We’ll need our families, whether blood or chosen, more than ever.

With thanks to the Jade Consciousness, my Mantis guide, and the Andromedans*, here's the energy forecast for August 2025, plus three healing stones to work with now.

Hello, what can you tell me of the energy of August?

Disintegration. A seedling rising from the ashes. August is phoenix energy. The phoenix as a symbol is very much at work in your world today. It is the energy of burning down the old to create something new.

More of the same, then. Anything special we should look for?

Stay out of the way. Imagine the Hindenburg, that great balloon on fire but tethered to the ground. There's no place for it to go but down. You don't want to be standing underneath when it hits the ground. And so, the wise will stand apart. Watching, some with horror, some with fascination, as it self-destructs. This is the energy of August.

Wow. Are we talking man-made events, or natural ones?

A bit of both. Of natural disasters to come, Gaia is working hard to encourage humans and animals away from the impact zones. If you have an exit point, or an agreement to experience a natural disaster, you may choose to stay in areas of danger—and there are a few for August. But at the same time, Gaia is releasing much of the negative energy created by man. She is transmuting it with help from her partner, the Sun.

Speaking of the Sun, Lion's Gate is coming up on August 8. Is there anything special about Lion's Gate this year?

Oh yes. Lion's Gate is an annual portal during which the Sun provides additional light that can help to reawaken your dormant DNA. This year, Lion's Gate will pack a punch due to the increased activity on the Sun's surface.

Please do not fear the activity of the Sun in this moment. It is of service to you, that light. The Sun is beaming more and more and more light into your reality. The result will be the breaking up, the dissolution, of negative energy. And so, consider greeting solar activity with, if not joy, at least composure.

How will the energy of August affect us in our personal lives?

Solar activity may interrupt your communications devices. You may feel increased anxiety. You may experience a sense of otherness, of being disconnected from your physical self. This is normal and natural in moments of intense activation.

Drink lots of water, walk with your feet on the ground. In fact, we encourage you to walk under trees, if you can. Alternatively, work with tree energy—we recommend moss agate, tree agate, or petrified wood as crystal partners.

Why did green jade wanted to help with the energy forecast?

Jade is healing. Jade is calm. Jade is nature energy. Jade is luck, good fortune, and the ability to turn difficult experiences into something positive. In this way, jade helps transmute negative energy. That's why it recommends itself as an ideal partner for the energy in which you find yourself this month.

Work with jade to feel more balanced, more at peace, and more grounded. Work with jade to find the silver lining when you need it.

Thank you. How can we manage the energy of August?

This month we’d like to focus your attention on three stones: green jade, blue kyanite, and the andaras. We encourage you to actively work with these stones in the weeks to come. (If you don’t have an andara, consider moss agate, petrified wood, or healer’s gold as a substitute.) Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Try a stone layout. Lie down and place green jade on your heart and blue kyanite on your throat or third eye. Hold an andara in your non-dominant hand and take a nap or, better yet, do a guided meditation.

• Meditate. Hold green jade, blue kyanite, or an andara in your non-dominant hand and meditate for 15 minutes. If you aren’t sure how to meditate with a crystal, explore one of these 10-minute guided meditations.

• Explore automatic writing. If you like to journal, meditate for 15 minutes holding green jade, blue kyanite, or an andara. Then begin writing. Don’t think, just write. You may be surprised by what you get.

Is there anything else you'd like us to know?

This is not a moment for fear.  We recognize that being a human is difficult. And so, in the moments in which you feel anxious or afraid, we ask you to distract yourself. Play a game, tell stories, work on a hobby. This really is the best way to turn the energy of an intense change into a positive in your life.

Know that the universe wants you to feel joy. When you go in the direction of what brings you joy, you are doing God's work.

* If you are new here, welcome. The Andromedans are a group consciousness that has asked to provide the kind of information that "sheds light, heals hearts, and provides hope." While they have given me the name "Light Heals" as a way to identify them, for simplicity's sake, I merely use the term "the Andromedans." We collaborate on monthly energy forecasts and, sometimes, additional posts. For this post, the Andromedans were joined by my Mantis guide.
