August Horoscope 2025 All 12 Signs
At first glance, August is a good month because there are a couple of planetary alignments that are very positive. Mind you, what’s around the corner is eclipse season in September which will be occurring in the signs of Pisces / Virgo.
7 August to 23 September: Mars in Libra
There is an energy shift on the 7th of august when Mars is entering the sign of Libra where it will stay until a day after the eclipse of 22nd September when it will enter Scorpio. The highest vibration of Mars in Libra is to go for what you want but to do it in a gentle and respectful way rather than being passive aggressive and manipulative. Mars in Libra is intelligent, careful, justice and fairness oriented because he takes other people into account. It has the power of pen and the power of charm, for example; it is really good at getting another person to work or to incriminate themselves using suggestions and persuasion.
As soon as Mars enters Libra, be thrilled about something that doesn’t happen a lot but will now be happening from time to time; A Beautiful Air Trine. And this is so because Uranus is now in the sign of Gemini (around 0’ to 1′ degree) trine Pluto in the sign of Aquarius; a trine between Uranus and Pluto highlights innovation, change, to gain independence, authenticity and freedom. Plus with Mars entering Libra, it will be forming what’s called a grand air trine: Mars will trine Uranus and Pluto (triangle shape).
This perfect air trine made of Mars, Pluto, Uranus means that our actions, drive and intentions will harmoniously flow to empower you to do what you want to do. So that pocket of time (7th to 12th August) is amazing, take advantage of the opportunity to do something that will transform and change your situation. With Mars connected with Pluto/Uranus who both will be there for a long time, you will be able to go forward. Mars is an initiator, with the intention to grow something, the seed is now planted and you want to go for it!
A grand trine in an air sign means there is an emphasis on communication and on connecting with people. Air wants to connect, it wants to mentally understand things, to go forward in a joyful way, and with action, because these are positive and masculine Yang elements; Gemini where Uranus is, Libra where Mars is, and Aquarius where Pluto is; are very stimulated now. That said, with Saturn and Neptune in Aries (in the house opposite Libra) at first when you try to put something forwards, you’re going to be challenged in the house of your chart where Libra is situated because even if Mars in Libra feels inspired, wants to be honest and authentic, it will bump into the Saturn/Neptune conjunction in Aries (at 0′ to 2′ degree of Aries). When we have Mars opposite Saturn and then opposite Neptune, there is a dilemma and a paradox going on. This struggle is about how to embody the most authentic version of yourself, of who you are becoming while simultaneously leaving behind the parts of yourself which are finished.
8 August: Mars opposite Saturn/Neptune in Aries
Libra receives Mars and then the opposition starts to build up with Saturn and Neptune very quickly. Mars opposite Saturn; is an energy of endurance, delays, stop signs, obstructions and push and a pull. You feel like going forward but there is something stopping you so we can’t. You’re anticipating that something will happen while Saturn requires you to be patient, and trust that it’s going to work out… what you want will happen… later. When Mars and Saturn are in a relationship together, it can create frustration as if you were driving with the handbrake on. Mars in Libra is in its detriment. And Saturn in his fall in Aries so, so far with Saturn in Aries we’ve seen lower vitality, very authoritarian language and political maneuvering that has affected the most vulnerable people, and that’s also linked to Neptune in Aries conjunct Saturn.
So to recap; Mars is going face to face with Saturn and Neptune, although Mars in a sign that’s challenging for him to speak his truth, we might be pleasantly surprised because between the 8th to the 10th of August, Mars forges a stunning alliance with Uranus and Pluto. And if ever there ever was a time when people are going to be invested in topics like social justice and fairness, it’s going to happen across those days. Meanwhile those who in some ways try to control the agenda and narrative, and who have been forceful, even downright aggressive – these people are going to get a big push back from karma… and of course that will be welcome. From the 6th of August onward, with Mars in the sign of Libra, relationships matters are going to be central so whether it’s through glamorous Leo or practical Virgo, try to get an equal amount of give and get in all types of relationships.
9 August: Full Moon in Aquarius (17′ degrees)
11 August: Mercury Retrograde in Leo Ends (Mercury goes direct at 4′ degrees)
The full moon of the 9th is in the sign of Aquarius which can be about rebelliousness, higher truths and about us being connected as a collective. Plus, Pluto now in the sign of Aquarius is also about the collective. So with Mercury going direct in Leo on the 11th, there is going to be an opposition from the “We” against the “I” which can be Leo at its lower vibrating level; called Narcissism; the more unconscious side of Leo; a personal sense of “I’m so special I should be noticed here”, and this simply cannot be. That’s why we have to integrate the polarity point to Leo which is Aquarius – and what Aquarius brings to Leo is the awareness that yes you are special, but so is everybody else in their own way.
12 August: Venus conjunct Jupiter in Cancer – Our Monthly Blessing!
One of astrology’s most favorable influences is happening this August as Venus and Jupiter the two greatest benefics are coming together, now we have the potential to heal our hearts and souls. Be grateful for what you have and see the positive in front of your eyes this month, notice the people doing good in your life, and take it upon yourself to be generous where you can. This Venus – Jupiter conjunction in Cancer, on the 12th August, is coming together in a specific area of your life. What could it be? Venus is about love, joy and pleasure with the people and animals that you love. The sign of Cancer is about what and who is family to you, cosiness, taking care of and protecting another, the simple things of life like good food and drink. Jupiter is expensive and supportive with growth opportunities. It’s a lovely energy if you want to attend to your garden or modify where you live, like doing some painting and decorating or fixing and installing some new furniture. If you’re planning a gathering and to throw a party, chances are that at this time you’re going to be the amazing host or a successful and memorable dinner party.
22 August: Sun enters Virgo
23 August: New Moon in Virgo (at 0’23 degrees)
On the 22nd, the Sun goes into the practical, analytical and precise sign of Virgo, where Mars was for the 1st week of this month. The energy that Mars helped us with in Virgo, was to be a bit more self sacrificing, to focus on the details, and now the Sun in Virgo can help us to do that too. The sign of Virgo helps us to celebrate order and cleanliness, attention to details, routine, things being mechanically regular.
However, this year for the first time in over 70 years, Uranus in Gemini is clashing with the Sun in Virgo and – with the New Moon in Virgo on the 23rd August. So we’re going to see some order that until now has been maintained, suddenly being challenged; there could be some destruction through the last part of this month, maybe through distribution or around healthcare, there is going to be more and more coming through the open where people are not prepared to accept the status quo anymore, particularly where there has been a lack of fairness.
25 August: Venus enters Leo
On the 25th, more Leo energy emerges as Venus gets glamourous when she enters the sign. Venus here loves pleasures like going to the theater, to socialize and party, and can be interested in fashion as she has a colorful personality. Venus in Leo dramatizes her emotional experiences and values loyalty. At best when Venus in Leo feels loved and number one in your heart, she is warm hearted, compassionate and will make you feel special and will be loyal to you in return. Venus moving into Leo is an opportunity to focus on talent, particularly talent that needs to come out. However if Leo energy is too focused on the ego (self-importance) and not enough on how things will affect people generally, that can cause some problems. In any case, if you express your love loud and bold for someone or something you’re passionate about then you can’t go wrong, it’s the right time to be creating works of art to lift others to a happier place.
27 August: Venus in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius
Then on the 27th, Venus will go into an intense and complex relationship with Pluto. When Venus and Pluto clash, you can meet someone very charming who seduces you with flattery and warmth in a way that is very hard to resist, but usually there is some kind of hidden motive (Pluto). If the person you encounter is absolutely captivating, it’s important to try to decipher if they are being as sincere as they portray themselves to be. So watch out because someone could use their warmth, personality and power to manipulate, especially if it’s a romantic or financial opportunity make sure of what you may be getting into before jumping into what could be too good to be true. Best case scenario, you encounter someone you find hard to resist and you both agree on what the deal is, then fine, you’re good to go. But if one person wants something more profound and the other person wants a fleeting fling, it could end up feeling quite painful.
These are the forecasts for August of 2025 for each sign:

This is a blessed reset in how you connect with others, what you value in relationships, and what you’re willing to compromise. Venus rules romance, comfort, vehicles, luxury and self worth, so this month is about redefining those themes. If you’re not in a relationship and want one, it’s a great time to start something new. You’ll also be focused on long-term decisions that bring real value and because Venus is conjunct Jupiter, spiritual and emotional fulfillment are expanding for you. Venus rules Libra which is a business sign; Venus rules how you’re willing to compromise with other people in general. What you’re willing to compromise in your dealings with other people, “What am I going to give you? What are you going to give me? How are we going to mutually benefit from our association?” Venus is also the planet of making decisions around something that’s going to be a long-term thing because you see the value in it. So ask yourself, what is valuable to you in a worldly sense? That is something you are re-evaluating during August, and these will be beneficial things for you.
After 25th August, Venus moves into your Leo 2nd house where Mercury already is Mercury, that’s a beautiful energy for enjoying food, growing your financial prosperity, and finding pleasure in nurturing close family and friends. The Sun is also in Leo and your 2nd house most of the month, putting emphasis on managing family resources, your income and self worth.
From the 22nd of August onward, the Sun moves into Virgo which is your 3rd house, this means that for you there will be a major focus on investigating things, gathering facts and knowledge, and building your skill set; you may be practicing something and becoming really good at it because the south node of the moon is there, and wherever the nodes are in the chart, we’re very focused on those areas of life for a year and a half or for the entire time the nodes transit through that sign/house. Thankfully for you, the 3rd house utilizes the Sun energy very well, so you’re going to want to communicate what’s in your consciousness to other people, and you will have the courage to promote and to express yourself.
On 7th August, Mars moves into your 4th house stirring emotional frustration if problems arise you feel triggered by them, as Mars is logical and doesn’t blend well with emotional matters. On the upside, this energy can help you deal with any home issues. It’s a good time to focus on your inner growth and emotional connections, and by the end of August, you’ll feel more grounded and clear about your worth.
Leo
August 2025 begins with the Sun in your 1st house until 22nd August, this sparks a reset of your identity, vitality and self expression. Because the Sun is your chart ruler, this is a big personal renewal (Anytime a planet crosses through the ascendant, even the sun, it is a reset of that planet – Check out the Solar Return) of the year around your career goals, your individuality, and your relationship with your boss, your father or any authority figure in the government, your true self. You begin a new cycle around getting inspiration from your core essence that is the Sun; how do you express that, and how do you shine in the world? Now that the focus is on your 1st house of your personality traits, the path you walk in life, your body and health, and because the Sun is also a purification planet that allows you to purify, it is an ideal time to do something like that during August until August 22nd, and you’ll benefit greatly from self care Leos.

There’s also a Venus – Jupiter conjunction in your 12th house until 25th August, which encourages you to enjoy solitude, go on retreat or faraway places, or give charitably without expecting anything in return, and maybe a long forgotten wish will now manifest without any present effort from your part. Fulfillment comes from stepping away from the grind and tending to your inner world.
After 25th August, Venus enters your 1st house, beginning a reset in how you relate to others, compromise, and enjoy the beautiful and luxurious pleasures of life; this is great for love and relationships.

Virgo
In August 2025, Virgo the focus is in your 11th, 12th, and 1st houses. The Sun and Mercury are highlighting themes of subconscious awareness, endings, and fulfillment of long-held desires. Mercury will be retrograde and direct in your 12th house the entire month of August. So you will be in touch with your subconscious.
Mercury there is helping you reflect in solitude and release outdated wishes — especially around career (since Mercury rules your 10th house). Depending on your natal chart, you may also experience losses or expenses related to these areas, it’s always helpful to willingly be charitable as to consciously direct potential losses in a more productive cause of your choice. The 12th house is also linked to past lives, spiritual insight and ancestral guidance, so this month is ideal for connecting with what truly matters to you beneath the surface.

Mars leaves your 1st house on 7th August and enters your 2nd house, giving you the drive to grow your income and to develop a strategy in order to manage your resources — but be mindful of conflict with family or close friends that you consider to be family because Mars often prefers logic where compassion is needed.
Libra
On 7th August, Mars moves into your 1st house beginning a new two-year cycle. This is a reset point and Mars is an important planet, it takes about 2 years to move through the zodiac. For you Libra the events are connected to your family life, your possessions and financial prosperity, any business deals, and also your romantic relationships because Mars rules your Aries 7th house of partnerships and open enemies. It’s also about learning that your self determination and persistence in action can make a difference.
Most of the month, Venus, your chart ruler, brings focus and fulfillment in your 10th house, so you may see small changes like new responsibilities, a shift in daily actions, and an overall improvement in career, public reputation and your mission in life. Your leadership style appears harmonious, and people will notice you because of your diplomacy, politeness, and fairness.
The 11th house is also in focus, with Mercury there all month and the Sun until the 22nd. Venus also joins on the 25th, creating a Venus-Mercury conjunction in group situations and with friends this means that you will receive respect and recognition, admiration and validation from people so it’s a great time to put yourself in a public situation where your natural charm and beauty will be much appreciated. As a Libra, there is probably a networking opportunity or a party at your fingertips. The more you connect, show up and communicate socially, the more opportunities come your way to advance your long-term goals to the next level and upgrade your social status.
After the 22nd, the Sun moves into your 12th house, where it meets the South Node. This shift pulls your focus inward, you may be drawn to solitude or have to step away from worldly matters, at this time giving some time and energy in charity would be beneficial to let wealth flow through you. There can be expenses or a “last wish fulfilled” around career, father figures, or authority. As the Sun transits the 12th house of secret affairs, mystical associations, institutions and self undoing, you access all the wisdom gained over the last year when the Sun traveled through the zodiac through each of the houses, all the wisdom and knowledge you’ve learned becomes part of you now. You’re unconsciously integrating it into your energy body, your individuality, your ability to lead and shine in the world.
Scorpio
August brings a big focus on your 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th houses. Until 25th August, Venus is in your 9th house with Jupiter who gets boosted in strength in the 9th house, both planets are bringing fulfillment to you through inspiring teachers, spirituality and activities or travel plans to destinations near any types of water. Venus here also makes you fortunate in long distance relationships and anything Venusian like beauty treatments, spas and luxury. Because Venus rules both your 7th and 12th houses, it blesses romantic relationships and spiritual retreats. You’re likely to experience opportunities and luck from social connection and philosophical exploration during this time.

After the 22nd, the Sun moves into your 11th house, highlighting friendships, group efforts and long-term gains and goals. You may find yourself leading in a group and maybe receiving some kind of recognition.
On 7th August, Mars, your ruler, moves into your 12th house and this marks the end of a two-year cycle. This is a time of better spent on inner reflection, integrating everything you’ve learned about willpower, strategy, and self discipline rather than taking action because the Martian energy is going to be a bit difficult to access consciously until Mars moves into your Scorpio 1st house on 22nd September. Mars in the 12th can bring some unconscious processing or even temporary setbacks related to siblings, hidden enemies, long distance lands, or physical routines. You may feel a bit separated from your usual drive, but this is a good time for releasing old patterns and possibly having a last wish fulfilled related to Mars themes like self development or reaching a long forgotten goal. The final week of August could bring a promotion or progress on a long-term desire; especially if you’ve been putting in the effort.
Sagittarius

This is an excellent time for learning astrology and philosophy, to travel to so-called holy places, or interacting with teachers and anyone who you find inspiring that guides your life to any type of meaningful spiritual path. In any case, the 9th house is a fortunate house so you can have fortune in your career, with your father, or with any type of authority figure for most of the month.
From 7th August, Mars moves into your 11th house, this stirs energy around your long-term goals, social circles and group dynamics.

The 8th house has to do with figuring out the mysteries of life, intimacy, allowing other people to take care of you, your partner’s or the public’s money, what motivates you, what sabotages you, what is sabotaging you, pursuing what you want because of some psychological reason.

For you August is mostly focused on your 6th and 7th houses. Venus and Jupiter are both in your 6th house of Cancer, while the Sun – Mercury conjunction lights up your Leo 7th house. Venus here makes you the peacemaker in difficult work and daily life situations. In the face of conflict, you may find yourself needing to stay calm and diplomatic. If you’re in a relationship, watch out for dramas that might be on the horizon, it needs careful handling. Thankfully for you, you’re supported by Jupiter so it’s going to be easier to deal with challenges in a constructive way.
The Sun and Mercury in your 7th house sharpen your skills in public dealings and business, but when it comes to close relationships, the Sun’s independence can clash with your partner’s willfulness. Don’t take it personally, if they’re focused on their own path. Mars starts the month in your 8th house of Virgo, creating tension around trust and emotional intimacy, especially if your partner breaks the “rules” or if communication gets strained. On 7th August things improve when Mars moves into Libra. Your 9th house is now boosted with the enthusiasm to pursue what inspires you, to go and commit to something higher than yourself which gives a greater purpose to your life. You might also seek your ideal philosophy or spirituality, and even find a mentor who lights a fire in you.
On 22nd August, the Sun goes into Virgo, easing tensions in relationships and turning your attention toward your inner world and its mysteries, transmuting bad habits into healthier ones, divination practices, and spiritual insight. On 25th August, Venus joins Mercury in your 7th house, so the relating energy soften significantly between you and others because Venus and Mercury are friends who really like each other. That combination will give you a lot of joy and fun to enjoy with your partners and any other types of relationships while emotional connection is back into the picture.

Also on paying off debt or getting down to the nitty-gritty and working really hard, paying attention to details at work. The Sun – Mercury conjunction in Leo activates your 6th house of health and work until 22nd August. This is good timing for purification practices, especially those that support your physical health.
Mercury, which stays in Leo all month, offers opportunities for self development, refining your work ethic, and overcoming competition. You may also be investing in something meaningful that lights up your creativity; especially with Venus and Jupiter conjunct in your 5th house of Cancer. This brings fulfillment through artistic projects, romance, or even taking a financial risk that supports your true individuality. While you may feel emotionally sensitive, especially in close relationships, try not to commit to anything long-term since Venus in Cancer can cloud decision-making with moodiness. It’s an amazing month to follow your creative vision and enjoy romantic moments, but avoid major commitments based solely on emotions.
On August 7th, Mars enters your Libra 8th house, this shifts your energy and you’re now acting on matters of emotional depth, psychology, occult knowledge, self transformation, and purging what no longer serves you. This is a good time for ending bad habits, and you may feel a strong desire and intensity in relationships where either you or your partner willfully asks for more independence – the advice is to turn anger into a persuasive strategy to overcome conflicts this month. On August 25th, Venus enters your 6th house where Mercury is, this is great for health and self care but tricky for handling conflict. If you’re dealing with difficult people, try to respond with diplomacy as to avoid unexpected results, again, kill them with kindness rather than confrontation.
