As you see in the DC Horoscope below, fixed star Regulus, the "little king" star, features prominently in the August 23, 2025 New Moon Horoscope.
But first, have a look at a dual image of two charts - the New Moon of July 24th @2Leo08 (lower left and opposed by Pluto Rx @2AQ36 which suggests critical phases of development, plus, reversion to the brutal animalism now operating in society), and the July 24th New Moon's subsequent Full Moon of August 9, 2025 @16AQ59:55 (upper right) when some sort of culmination or fulfillment of plans can occur - likely in the technological (cyber/AI) spheres of development which includes surveillance and subversion along with a generous measure of arrogance, squandering, and theatricality mixed in:
And below is the DC Horoscope of the August 23, 2025 New Moon conjunct royal star Regulus with aspect grid included. As you know, a New Moon can behave in similar Uranian fashion to a Solar Eclipse (a wild card: disruptive, course-changing, a cosmic blink) while a Full Moon can have similar effects as a Lunar Eclipse: revelatory, casting a bright glare upon inconvenient facts or secrets that may lead to scandal):
Then if we treat the August 23, 2025 New Moon as if it's a Solar Eclipse, aspects to the lunation become significant especially considering current events and the actors perpetrating them. They are:
Saturn inconjunct: freeloaders with no sense of duty or responsibility;
Neptune inconjunct: escapists who can't or won't face reality and who carry enormous karmic debts they tend to project upon others;
Pluto inconjunct: brutal, violent people with no sense of right or wrong;
Uranus square: people indifferent to the needs of society with an uncaring attitude toward humanity. In other words, anti-societal people such as criminals, gangsters, thieves, political extremists and zealots.
Then as you likely know, Regulus rises in the natal chart of a man some call Donny John; therefore, the inconjuncts in the YOD pattern/s, plus, the square from radical Uranus, also spotlight this particular deviant. So if these aspects remind you of anyone currently behaving corruptly in politics, then we're on the same page.
