Self-care and romance are this month's major themes. Here's your August 2025 horoscope.
We might still be in the midst of Mercury Retrograde, but things are looking up this month. Below, Iva Naskova, a psychic at spiritual guidance platform Nebula, shares her horoscope predictions for August 2025.
Dates To Keep In Mind This Month
Expect good things from the start of the month, says Iva. ‘August starts on a high note – even though Mercury retrograde hit us hard, causing quite a stir. But pace yourself – it’s almost over. On 11 August, this little troublemaker finally goes direct.
‘Until then, Mars moving into Libra helps us clean up the mess Mercury’s retrograde may have left behind, bringing a more diplomatic energy and a desire to smooth things over through conversation – not confrontation,’ she continues. ‘Just be mindful of passive-aggressive behaviour under this influence.’
This month also marks a great opportunity to focus on you – and you alone. ‘The full moon in Aquarius on 9 August is an excellent time to set boundaries with people who’ve taken advantage of your kindness,’ says Iva. ‘We’ll have a chance to turn the page and start fresh with the New Moon in Virgo on 23 August, when we’ll feel truly motivated to organise our lives and become the best version of ourselves – perfect and flawless, Virgo style.’
And things could get a little more romantic as August comes to a close. ‘The end of the month is ideal for grand gestures in love, as Venus enters bold, passionate Leo. Romance is about to make a grand entrance.’
Horoscopes: August 2025
Below, Iva shares her August 2025 horoscope predictions for each star sign:
Aries (21 March – 19 April)
Wait to make important decisions until Mercury retrograde ends, as things will feel clearer after the 11th. Mars in Libra brings passive-aggressive energy that clashes with your impulsive nature; choose diplomacy over drama. A creative wave pushes your work forward and may lead to a promotion.
Key Date: 23 August – career progress or promotion.
Taurus (20 April – 20 May)
Focus on family and loved ones. Mercury retrograde can stir miscommunication, so speak with kindness and understanding. A move, renovation, or change in your home life is likely to occur. Your professional efforts finally get the recognition they deserve.
Key Date: 9 August – recognition and praise at work.
Gemini (21 May – 20 June)
This month fuels your mind with new ideas and visions. The retrograde may delay some of them, but you’re adaptable; if one plan fails, you pivot with another. The Full Moon may offer a fun work-related trip that brings growth.
Key Date: 9 August – say yes to learning and travel.
Cancer (21 June – 22 July)
Finances could be a source of stress as Mercury brings unexpected expenses. It’s time to speak up at work; ask for what you’re worth. The Full Moon encourages you to set boundaries and release toxic connections.
Key Date: 22 August – be practical and assertive.
Leo (23 July – 22 August)
It’s your season, and all eyes are on you. You radiate confidence, so use this time to rebrand and refresh your social presence. Love can be confusing under the Full Moon and during retrograde, so consider delaying big decisions until after the 11th.
Key Date: 11 August – clarity and calm return.
Virgo (23 August – 22 September)
Early August is for rest, reflection, and self-care. As the Sun shifts into your sign, your energy returns full force. The New Moon brings a powerful fresh start; time to pursue goals with your signature precision.
Key Date: 23 August – new beginnings.
Libra (23 September – 22 October)
This is your month for fun, friends, and connection. Mars in your sign adds energy, but Mercury retrograde can create decision fatigue. Don’t rush big choices. Love may surprise you when you least expect it.
Key Date: 25 August – romantic surprise.
Scorpio (23 October – 21 November)
You’re thriving, despite Mercury’s chaos. August is for leadership, progress, and showcasing your power. People trust you, so use that wisely. The Full Moon reveals who’s truly in your corner.
Key Date: 9 August – release fake friendships.
Sagittarius (22 November – 21 December)
Mercury retrograde can create emotional confusion, leaving you feeling a bit off track. Spend time in nature to ground yourself and relax your mind. The second half of the month boosts your career, so get ready for success and the validation you’ve worked so hard for.
Key Date: 22 August – major work opportunity.
Capricorn (22 December – 20 January)
Financial stress may rise, but resist dipping into savings, as it is not a smart move. Instead, budget wisely and wait until Mercury goes direct. The second half of the month is ideal for a fun getaway or vacation, allowing you to reconnect with your partner or explore romantic connections.
Key Date: 25 August – romance knocks.
Aquarius (21 January – 18 February)
Relationships take centre stage, especially with the Full Moon in your sign bringing deep personal insight. It’s time to shed bad habits and realign with your happiness. Significant internal shifts are happening, and you will finally receive the answers to the question of what you should change to feel happier and better.
Key Date: 9 August – powerful self-awakening.
Pisces (19 February – 20 March)
Work may feel overwhelming as Mercury delays things and stirs up hard-to-control chaos. If possible, take time to rest and recharge; your health should be a priority. Good news arrives in the second half of the month, when love is in high gear. Your love life deepens, offering the emotional support you’ve needed.
Key Date: 11 August – relief and emotional healing.
