Astrology Forecast August 4 – 10, 2025

The Moon is moving through Sagittarius today, filling our skies with a sense of optimism, curiosity, and a joyful eagerness to explore new philosophical or spiritual horizons. There’s a fiery pulse in the air, and a call to stretch our vision and embrace possibility.

This morning, the Sun in Leo is connecting with Jupiter in Cancer, and we feel like we’re being cheered on by some cosmic cheerleaders. This energy is pushing us to follow joy, creativity, and heartfelt expression.

This semi-sextile is like a warm breeze, lifting our spirits and infusing us with the courage to chase those ideas that might have seemed just out of reach. Use this uplifting energy to think about the big picture. Now is a wonderful time for making new dreams, sharing stories, and helping others see the light within themselves.

However, by midday, the Sagittarius Moon stirs deeper currents as it brushes up against Pluto in Aquarius and squares the lunar nodes in Pisces. Our emotions can sometimes carry us away, affecting the people around us even when they don’t seem to be directly linked. This can be a beautiful reminder to reflect on what we truly want for ourselves and our journey.

Are your beliefs maybe holding you back from your dreams? Stay grounded this afternoon. Go ahead and trust your intuition as you work through any feelings of tension you might have. Now is a moment to acknowledge the tug between expansion and emotional growth.

Take some time also today to set your intentions. There are so many simple and meaningful ways to get yourself ready for the week ahead. You could light a candle, journal about your dreams, or speak affirmations aloud.

Tuesday, August 5: Grounded Momentum

The energy shifts to a more serious tone as the Moon enters hardworking Capricorn, helping us move from ideas to action. The earthy energy of Capricorn is a gentle reminder to take care of our responsibilities with care and attention. It’s the kind of day where you put in a little effort now and it’ll pay off big time later on.

The optimism we felt on Monday has a solid foundation now. Today is a great day to organize, plan, and refine structures – whether in business, personal projects, or your spiritual practice. It’s totally normal to feel inspired to clean up your environment or start a new routine. The universe is working for you today, and every task you complete brings you closer to your dreams.

Wednesday, August 6: Graceful Action

Midweek invites a gentler form of strength. The Capricorn Moon is still with us, helping us stay on track.

By the evening, the air will feel a bit less intense as Mars moves into Libra. We’re encouraged to find balance, harmony, and mutual understanding in our actions.

When Mars is in Libra, it’s like a gentle reminder to let peace, justice, and beauty guide us in everything we do. Over the next two months, let’s work together to take action with more grace. Consider where diplomacy, aesthetic refinement, or relational awareness might create better outcomes. Today is a great day to start working with others, calmly talk through any problems, or make choices that align with your values as well as your goals.

Thursday, August 7: Emotional Alchemy

You may feel the subtle psychic undertones in the air on Thursday. The Moon, still in Capricorn until nightfall, is working in a quintile with Lilith in Scorpio, and is at odds in a square with Chiron in Aries. These aspects bring opportunities for emotional growth, allowing us to transform setbacks into valuable lessons.

We know that facing our inner struggles can feel uncomfortable, but it’s in this discomfort that we find the most powerful healing. Don’t be afraid to embrace your shadow. Today is a beautiful opportunity to gently reclaim parts of yourself that might have been pushed to the side. If you find yourself dealing with insecurities, remember that you’re not alone. And if you’re struggling, know that there’s always compassion to help you through.

By evening, the Moon shifts into Aquarius, beginning to lift the emotional fog and preparing us for Saturday’s Full Moon. This energy is going to be electric and forward-thinking as we move into the weekend.

Friday, August 8: Winds Of Change

The Aquarian Moon brings an exciting, ever-changing energy that’s both thrilling and comforting. Friday is all about embracing freedom, trying new things, and taking a fresh look at those issues that have been on our minds for a while. We love to see innovation over repetition.

As we approach this month’s weekend Full Moon, sensitivity may increase. You might feel like you’re being pulled in different directions, or like you have these sudden changes in your plans. Go with the flow and stay open to change. Give yourself permission to break from tradition for a change, or surprise even yourself with a bold move.

Saturday, August 9: Sturgeon Moon Revelations

The Full Moon in Aquarius is here, shining its gentle light on the truths that make us feel most alive. In Native American tradition this moon is known as the Sturgeon Moon, honored by the ancients as a symbol of abundance, perseverance, and the power of inner knowing.

This Full Moon is a time when we’re encouraged to explore new ways of thinking, open our hearts to fresh perspectives, and let go of old ways of feeling. The Moon also reflects our need for belonging. We’d love to know where we can be more authentic together. I know we’re all looking for some clarity here, and I’m wondering where we should detach to find it.

Now, here’s where things get a little tricky. Mars in Libra is going to be at odds with Neptune in Aries in opposition this evening. It’s totally normal to potentially feel a bit confused about your motivation or direction sometimes. If you’re feeling unsure, it’s okay to take your time. Take some time for yourself, rest, dream, and listen to your intuition. The veil is thin, and messages from spirit may arrive in all sorts of ways, including through symbols, conversations, or sudden insights.

Take some time to honor this Full Moon with intention. Take some time for yourself and meditate, cleanse your space, or get together with your soul friends for a shared ritual. I hope the light of this lunar peak helps you see your way forward.

Sunday, August 10: Spiritual Soothing

As the Moon enters Pisces on Sunday morning, a gentle, dreamy calm washes over us. Today is the perfect day to rest, integrate, and nourish your spirit. After a week of high-voltage transformation, we finally have a chance to simply be.

Pisces energy is like a warm breeze, gently stirring up our feelings and inviting us to come together in a beautiful, unified consciousness. We’re here to support you in your creative activities, water rituals, and compassionate gestures. Take a moment to let yourself drift a little. There’s healing in non-linear time, too.

If you’ve been going through a lot of emotional ups and downs lately, this is the perfect remedy for you. Be kind to yourself and others. Take some time to think about what the full Moon revealed to you, and if there’s anything you’re not fully on board with anymore, let it go gently.
