Your Monthly Horoscope for August 2025

May 12, 2025

No content available.

Your August horoscope begins on a sluggish note, thanks to Mercury retrograde. But this, too, shall pass. By the middle of the month, life will start to move forward, so it’s best to be patient until then.

Mars enters diplomatic Libra on the 6th, a transit that prefers cooperation and teamwork. No matter how busy you may be, help is available. Rally your team, and you’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish. This placement of Mars can also bring out passive-aggressiveness. While that approach may work sometimes, it can backfire. It’s best to be straightforward but tactful if you want good results. Mars moves into Scorpio on September 22nd.

The perfect night to gather with your friends is the Full Moon in Aquarius on the 9th. A late summer soiree under the stars will strengthen bonds. It’s also an ideal day for digital decluttering. Clean up your files, including your inbox. Unfriend, unfollow and delete while you’re at it. A tidy digital world is a happy one.
