Design: YourTango | Photo: izusek from Getty Images Signature, Canva Pro August 2025 horoscopes are here, revealing how the month's astrology influences each zodiac sign. Mercury continues its retrograde through Leo until August 11 when it turns direct. Mars leaves Virgo and enters Libra on August 6, where it will remain until September 22. Mars in Libra is about companionship, relationships, and creating balance and harmony with others, so our actions and direction will change as we focus on creating harmony, justice, and avoiding conflict. Venus leaves Cancer and enters Leo from August 25 to September 19, turning our thoughts to love, desire, passion, and fun. Leo loves to indulge, eat, drink, buy beautiful things, socialize, and be merry!
On August 22, the Sun enters Virgo, where it will remain until September 22. As the Sun enters Virgo, our thoughts tend to be more about work, production, school, and accomplishment. Everything has its season, and this is the time for planning, implementing plans, and moving forward in a more organized and fruitful way. Virgo teaches us to work smart, instead of just working hard. Virgo has a natural and instinctive understanding of the connection between body, mind, and soul, so this is an auspicious time to kickstart your own well-being and treat your body with respect. Now is the time to make positive changes in diet, fitness, and explore natural remedies to keep yourself in tip-top shape.
The August Full Moon falls in Aquarius on August 9. Aquarius is generally thought of as open, freewheeling, and the most humanitarian of signs. Its ruler is Uranus, the planet of the unexpected, and many things we don’t anticipate can occur on an Aquarius Full Moon. Expect to be open to new ways of approaching and doing things and thinking outside the box, especially since Mercury is still retrograde at this time. Since Mars is opposing Saturn and Neptune, we can expect this Full Moon to be more unpredictable. Sometimes a Full Moon like this can be related to events connected to water or gas, and otherwise we can expect confusion in the collective, such as scandals, gaslighting, and incorrect information or propaganda. The New Moon in Virgo is on August 23. This New Moon squares Uranus, making it very unpredictable — expect the unexpected. Let’s take a look at how the zodiac signs fare in August 2025.

Aries, in August, the Sun and Mercury’s transit through your fifth house keeps the focus this month on summer fun, friends, and romance (and children if you have them).
When Mars enters Libra or your seventh house, you could experience some conflicts with partners, especially from August 6 -11. Since this period coincides with the end of Mercury’s retrograde, confusion can abound and things may be unclear, so be aware of this.
The August 9 Full Moon in Aquarius should bring social events and time with friends, but use caution around the New Moon on the 23rd so you don’t get run down physically.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Taurus, in August, home will be important. You may see friends and family, spend more time at home, or complete home projects. If this is the case, remember retrograde Mercury is still active in your chart segment that rules home until August 11, so it's best to wait until after that time to begin any major home renovation projects. You may also do more entertaining and have guests this month.
Mars in Libra may mean more work or issues at work, so be aware of what is going on there this month. The Full Moon in Aquarius, however, can bring work acclaim. This is a month you could be in the spotlight.
The Virgo New Moon on the 23rd falls in your fifth house of love and romance, so enjoy!
