Libra Horoscope for August 2025

This is another important and transformational month for you, Libra. The significant position of Pluto that was featured last month in early Aquarius, corresponding to your sector of creative self-expression and romance, is now, for August, even further highlighted. This indicates that you are in the midst of a deep-seated process of evolutionary development in this and many other areas. Also affected are your friendships, your sense of social engagement, and your goals for the future, also likely shifting in some manner, due in part to the recent Leo New Moon from the end of July in this sector, as well as the ongoing Mercury Retrograde in this area; the Mercury situation is lasting most of this month when you take the two-week period of the post-retrograde shadow into account. The significant transformational impact of Pluto during this climactic monthly cycle currently affects partnerships of all kinds, including business partners. This is also to include career choices and your personal relationships. All these areas benefit as well from sudden moves as symbolized by Uranus newly entered into Gemini – corresponding to your sector of higher mind, plus travel and educational initiatives – indicating that there is a fresh wind of innovative change blowing through, affecting primarily your beliefs and your worldview. The lesson here may be that there is a multiplicity of doorways, some unexpected, so that you achieve the best result in the long run by staying open to possibility. This attitude inevitably affects your relationship and important partners and their fluctuations. One thing to note here is that while things could be shifting in all these areas, remembering the Mercury situation implies that there could be further and perhaps opposite shifts as the month draws to a close in the timing of the Virgo New Moon of the 22nd governing its final week.

As you enter August, you’re deep into the afterglow of the recent New Moon in Leo, which sets the tone for the thirty-day lunation cycle that follows, lasting to the 22nd. The energy of this recent New Moon was powerful, featuring outer planets Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto, all combining closely with the positions of Sun and Moon in early Leo. This encourages you to reach toward new beginnings, involving on your sector of friendship, community, and future goals, and enhancing your focus on social spheres and experiences within your peer group. The New Moon features a strong trine to Saturn and Neptune in Aries, your opposite sign, so that key relationships are another significant focus, perhaps involving a mentor connection or a spiritual partnership and its evolution in your life. There is also a sextile to Uranus in Gemini, implying that new revelations regarding your beliefs and worldview could be coming up as well during this monthly cycle. The fresh start for your friendships, group dynamics, and shared goals might also involve a changing life philosophy, evolving principles and beliefs or a significant relationship. There could be a powerful inclination to tend to your own desires, or the people you cherish, so that you’re pleasing yourself, as well.

Mercury is also in retrograde during most of the month, when you count the two-week long post-retrograde shadow period that lasts until the 25th. You could be second-guessing yourself in all of these areas or meditating on how to make certain alterations to your habitual patterns that have grown stale. And, with your ruling planet Venus square to Mars also in this New Moon, your own outlook, knowledge, wisdom, and your understanding of the bigger picture may feel like a point of contrast tension with your mandated inner work.

On Friday, August 1st, you have the First Quarter Scorpio Moon in your second sector of resources and values, during which Venus newly in Cancer, or your career sector, is square Saturn and Neptune in your house of relationship, so there’s a juxtaposition to consider. Partners and money might not mix, or, beyond that, you might sense friction as you consider your professional prominence, or move along your vocational path, in case you encounter significant people or mentors that don’t necessarily appreciate your authority. You might also be considering an activist role regarding social ills that you perceive. It might help to consider the simultaneous support of your allies and those you’re involved with, as well as making moves in your professional role or financial position.

On August 6th, Mars enters your sign, suggesting other people might be looking your way, inclined to follow your lead. Mars connects to Uranus and Pluto in a grand trine in the early degrees of the Air signs, and opposes Saturn and Neptune, in Aries or your relationship sector which could have a bearing on the way that you are redefining your ideas about marriage unions and partnerships.

These aspects are also present in the Aquarius Full Moon on the 9th, which illuminates your creative interests and self-expression, passion projects, children, romance and heart. Your talents, a celebration, your sense of fun or love life could be showcased. There’s also a spotlight on your circle of peers, potentially cheering you on. You might explore educational trajectories or paths of global expansion, enjoying yourself and getting attention while also honoring those you encounter as part of your wider collective. There could be serious revelations afloat regarding your partnerships, or your creative self-expression, children in your life, joy, or romance. Your energy is high right now and it might be wise to think twice about where you are directing it.

The 10th and 11th are extra special, as Venus meets Jupiter in the highest corner of your horoscope, encouraging you to be prominent, professional, visible and known, while Mercury simultaneously stations direct in Leo at this time, your social sector, and Saturn is precisely sextile to Uranus in your sector of high mind understandings. Standing together in your sector of recognition and accomplishments, Venus and Jupiter, the two benefic planets, may deliver a validating boost for your public profile, so be aware of the impression you make around these days, and how you’re seen as a success. You might be upheld in your vocation or learn more about your true aspirations.

Interpersonal dynamics could be fascinating to explore at this juncture, with Mercury standing almost dead still in the sky. A liberation in your perspective could be underpinned by significant figures or developments one-on-one. A rethink around those you’re happy to associate with, or complications and delays connecting to people in your orbit could additionally be present, so you can perhaps affirm those alliances and shared dreams that compliment your beliefs, truth, and higher mind.

On the 15th the Last Quarter Taurus Moon lights up your sector of intimacy, shared ownership, joint finances and partnership agreements. An investment that benefits you and another party, with a sense of mutual success, could engender clashes of consciousness. Mercury connects in a sextile to Mars at this time, perhaps giving you a way to personally engage your network and people from your circle, along with key partners.

The Sun enters Virgo and your intuitive twelfth sector of unconscious process on the 22nd, immediately forming a yod, or “Finger of God” aspect with Saturn and Neptune and Pluto forming the base of this planetary dynamic. This could be a special timing of internal awareness leading up to the Virgo New Moon.

Late that evening, PT, early morning on the 23rd for the east coast and Europe, the Moon is conjunct the Sun in the dynamic Virgo New Moon. This also features the same yod, and represents another potent lunation, with all three collections of outer planet energies holding full sway. With the focus this time on exploring your inner world of unconscious process, night-time dreams, and inner work, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune, and Pluto are all involved. Your dreams, spiritual life, internal awareness and being somewhat in retreat are grist for your mill of continuing novel revelations, with your happiness, passion projects and collaborations playing into this fresh start. A potent month of self-analysis could follow, so that you might withdraw to examine your approach to dating, sex, fertility or co-parenting, with mentors and your personal creativity as co-pilots.

On August 26th, Venus enters Leo, perhaps inspiring you to identify with a group of friends, a common cause you believe in, or to integrate more into communal environments. Venus now forms a trine to Saturn and Neptune, sextiles Uranus and opposes Pluto, mirroring the aspects of the recent Virgo New Moon and of the preceding month as well. Again, key individuals and a reimagining of your intimate relationships might be significant, as you become more involved in your social scene, possibly beginning to tune into a radically different way of seeing the world, your beliefs, and your key people.
