AUGUST 2025

August begins on a sluggish note, thanks to Mercury retrograde. It’s better to slow your roll until the trickster planet stations direct on the 11th. Yes, this will test your patience if you’re itching to hit the road, but if you can cool your jets, you’ll enjoy smooth sailing later in the month.

Should I do this or that? Indecisiveness sets in when Mars sails into Libra on the 6th. Mars gets a bit lost in this sign due to Libra’s tendency to waffle. During this transit, you might feel hesitant, but once you lean in and make a choice, it’s green lights all the way! That being said, this is an excellent transit for social justice. You can find the fire and camaraderie to fight the good fight. Together, we win. Mars moves into Scorpio on September 22nd.

The perfect night out with your crew is the Full Moon in Aquarius on the 9th. A summer soiree under the stars? Yes, please!

Get ready for all the hell yeahs when Mercury stations direct on the 11th. After weeks of delays, computer crashes, and communication drama, the energy shifts. Give it a few days – and you’ll start to see improvements. Psst…if you need to buy new technology or an automobile or must sign a contract, you can proceed after today. 

Perfectionists rejoice! The Sun is in Virgo from the 22nd through September 22nd. This means you’ve got a month to create divine order in every area of your life! Clean, declutter, organize, sort, and edit. Find ways to streamline your life – and you’ll reclaim your time. 

The New Moon in Virgo on the 23rd is ideal for applying for a new job, adopting a pet, or starting a new health regimen. It’s also excellent for finding efficiency in your routines. Whatever starts today has the potential to succeed. 

Romance gets hot-to-go when Venus ambles into Leo on the 25th. You’ve got a few weeks for bold declarations, spicy text messages, and luxurious dates. Spoil your boo, and you’ll get closer! This is also a fantastic time to splurge on fancy meals, designer clothes, or pampering sessions at the spa. Baller on a budget? Find ways to get lavish on a shoestring: freshly picked bouquets on the table, a decent bottle of wine, or a new (preferably bright red) lipstick. Treat yourself! Venus remains here until September 19th.

Book a long-distance trip on the 9th when the Full Moon illuminates a fabulous opportunity! You adore travel, so any excuse to go is a big yes!

As you roll into September, love could be in the cards.

Virgo: July begins on a social note and ends with alone time, dear Virgo. You might feel like laying low as August begins, dear Virgo.
