Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Design: YourTango
Gemini, if you’ve been tangled in the details or obsessing over the “how” of things, then the answer is to go out and have some fun. There’s wisdom in letting go and bending the rules.
Sometimes the best way forward is to release tradition’s grip. On August 14, 2025, let yourself break free from what’s expected so you can discover what feels authentically yours.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Design: YourTango
Cancer, as you approach social gatherings or intimate dinners, you’re entering a phase where retreat feels safe and necessary. This is your cue to cocoon away from the noise so you can create a sanctuary that nurtures your spirit.
Invite close friends who understand your depth over on August 14. You’re likely to find yourself slipping into nostalgic conversations that open up old stories and memories.

What does it truly look like to build connection through honesty and empathy? How can you foster an environment where everyone feels heard and valued?
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Virgo, putting your cards on the table doesn’t have to mean ultimatums or rigid demands. Instead, this could be a moment to clarify your needs and hopes in relationships.
August 14 sheds light on what growth means for you and those you care about. You hold significant power to shape the direction of your connections at this moment.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Design: YourTango
Libra, on August 14, you may find yourself receiving recognition for the quiet work you've done behind the scenes. Rather than letting the attention define or overwhelm you, take a moment to consider how you want to shape the narrative.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Design: YourTango
Sagittarius, if there’s something you’ve been holding back, the time has come to voice it. On August 14, you’re on your soapbox with a speakerphone, ready to express truths or opinions that have been simmering beneath the surface.
A word of caution for Thursday: wrap your message with tact and sensitivity. While your honesty is needed, how you deliver it will determine how well it’s received. Aim for dialogue, not debate, and remember that timing is everything.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Design: YourTango
Capricorn, passion without clear direction can leave you feeling adrift. Chasing what looks good on paper or what others applaud might blur your true intentions.

Aquarius, your lot in life is about far more than stability or security. When was the last time you truly allowed yourself to dream audaciously? To imagine beyond the practical and mundane?
This is a moment to break free from limiting beliefs about what’s possible and permit yourself to chase the boldest visions you hold that co-exist with the people around you.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Design: YourTango
Pisces, if you’ve been waiting for a sudden flash of clarity, it may start to emerge now, especially around your creative life. Questions you’ve been holding loosely about what you want to achieve or how to measure creative success start feeling more concrete.
August 14 brings you a moment to dream with structure and begin setting meaningful intentions for what you want to tick off by the end of the summer season.
