3 Zodiac Signs Finally Get Their Motivation Back On August 12
Progress is the name of the game right now.

On August 12, 2025, three zodiac signs finally get their motivation back. There’s nothing gentle about the day's transit, Moon opposite Mars, but maybe we're not meant to be dealt with gently at this point. Sometimes we need a reality check in the form of a good, hard (metaphorical) shove.
If we're meant to do something, we get it done on this day, August 12, because we realize that it's now or never. And never is not an option we care to look at. For three zodiac signs in particular, the proverbial iron is hot, and it's our turn to strike. So, let's get to it. Progress is the name of the game right now, and we're not feeling wishy-washy about it. We are motivated to make significant progress on August 12, just as it's meant to be.
1. Cancer
Design: YourTango
You sometimes shy away from the idea of confrontation, but on August 12, you’re done dancing around the issue. The day's transit, Moon opposite Mars, gives you a surge of determination, and you use it well. It's time, Cancer.
This is where you set a boundary that really needed to be set. While it takes guts for you to do so, once you're over that hump, it's established for life. You owe yourself this, and you aren't going to blow your opportunity.
You may surprise yourself with how strong you feel after you do this. It's a great feeling to do something important for yourself, and it shows you that progress is something you are in control of.
2. Sagittarius
Design: YourTango
For you, Sagittarius, this is the kind of day that pushes you into movement. Moon opposite Mars is not playing around anymore, and if you're honest with yourself, you needed this last shove. For you, it's what gets things done.
This day, August 12, shows you that where you are right now is stagnant and getting you nowhere fast. So, you have a choice. You can either stay stuck or move on and create significant progress in your life.
Well, seeing it so blatantly put, it's apparent that you want nothing to do with staying in one place. This is your life, and you are going to do something about it. Complacency is not in your nature. It's time to move it, move it.
3. Pisces
Design: YourTango
On August 12, you finally get to face what’s been nagging at you, and while it may seem scary, the more you look at it, the less scary it appears. The lunar transit of the Moon opposite Mars pushes you out of passivity and into action. This could relate to a project, a relationship, or a personal goal you’ve been putting off, simply because it's inconvenient for you to tackle.
This is where discomfort turns into direction and purpose, and before you know it, you're using it to your advantage. It just so happens that you’re stronger than your hesitation, Pisces, and this day proves it.
