mars in libra
Astrology Forecast August 18 – 24, 2025
The week begins with the Moon still in curious Gemini this morning*, helping us ease into Monday with lots of conversation, ideas, and intellectual connection. But while the day starts light and communicative, it becomes more emotional as the day goes on.
A sextile with the Sun in Leo early on boosts our confidence and creative energy. You may feel inspired to share what’s on your heart or mind.
By late morning, a sextile between the Moon and Chiron in Aries makes it easier to talk about things that have been bothering you. This is a good time to heal through honest conversation or to support someone going through a rough patch.
In the afternoon, the Moon shifts into Cancer, turning the emotional volume up for the next few days. This Moon sign brings a focus on feelings, home life, and close relationships.
Shortly after the Moon changes signs, it squares with both Saturn and Neptune in Aries, which can stir up feelings of pressure or confusion.
You might feel torn between what your heart wants and what you need to get done. Later in the evening, a quincunx with Pluto in Aquarius may bring up deep emotions or a need to let go of something that no longer serves you.
Take time today to notice how you’re feeling and what your body and heart are asking for. Self-care, comfort, and honest conversations go a long way today.
Astrology Forecast August 11 – 17, 2025
The celestial tide starts to shift today as Mercury stations direct in the early hours of the morning*, closing out a challenging retrograde that may have scrambled plans and frazzled communications.
While Mercury’s pivot brings a collective sigh of relief it is important to still tread with care for the next couple of weeks as the trickster planet finds its rhythm again during the shadow period. Electronic glitches, unexpected delays, and crossed wires may still pop up here and there, but the worst is now behind us.
The Moon lingers in Pisces through the day, wrapping us in a dreamlike haze that makes today feel more like a continuation of the weekend.
However, this morning’s semisquare between the Pisces Moon and Pluto in Aquarius may stir some emotional undercurrents or dredge up forgotten fears. Take time to breathe and release what no longer serves you.
By mid-morning, the Moon’s conjunction with the North Node in Pisces invites a karmic moment. You may find yourself revisiting a dream or idea that had previously drifted away. Pay attention to intuitive nudges and symbolic messages. This is a time of soul remembrance, when destiny calls softly through the mists.
As the Moon forms a quintile to Uranus in Gemini and a quincunx to the Sun in Leo by midday, expect sudden insights or minor disruptions that push you to adapt. Creativity will flow more easily if you’re open to the unexpected. However, the sesquiquadrate to Mercury may bring tension between what you feel and what you’re trying to express. Let silence be your sanctuary if words fail.
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.
