Aquarius Horoscope for August 2025

This is another transformational month for you, Aquarius, when much is in flux and when your creativity is also in transition with new ideas flowing. The biggest current focus for you right now, based on the recent Leo New Moon – in your opposite sign – from the end of July, is your relationship dynamic with both intimate and platonic others, to include business partnerships and collaborations. This Leo New Moon at 2° being also exactly opposite to the position of Pluto, at 2° of your sign, in your sector of identity and self-development, has likely brought the ongoing transformational effects closer to the surface layers of your thought process. You might want to be asking yourself what has changed for you over this past year of Pluto’s presence, and where indeed in these fragmented and contentious times you might be headed. With Mercury retrograding through Leo for the first ten days of August, in this same relationship sector of your solar chart, signaling an introspective and a self-reflective timing. Mercury then spends two more weeks recovering. You are also likely mulling over where your key relationships are taking you and of their importance for your life and its direction. Also to be included in the astrological influences that are quite active for you now is the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries, or your sector of communication and learning, very closely trine the New Moon energy that informs this current thirty-day lunation cycle. Your mental process has a great deal of dedicated commitment and slowing down (Saturn) as well as a spiritual tinge, that is to say, an acceptance of that which is beyond the purely physical plane (Neptune). Then, too, Uranus newly in Gemini, your creativity sector, also ruling children and romance, is a source of fresh ideas for your projects and whatever brings you feelings of joy and abundance.

August begins for you in the afterglow of the recent Leo New Moon, which due to its lunation cycle of thirty days has energetic effects that last throughout most of August, up to the Virgo New Moon of the 22nd. This indicates a new beginning for your seventh sector of partnership, and your relationship dynamic itself participates in this, since the Sun is the ruler of your opposite sign, and collaborative experiences. An exact opposition from the New Moon to Pluto in your sign suggests attention may be on you as well as significant others, perhaps even challenging your sense of self and identity. This fresh cycle may also see you forging exciting connections, as the New Moon plugs into Saturn and Neptune in Aries and your third sector of communication, siblings, curiosity, and learning, and Uranus in Gemini, which is welcoming a change of pace in your fun, fertile fifth house of creativity, entertainment, sexuality, affections and enjoyment. Discussions, and the way you express yourself and what you want in your primary relationships could be important. Additionally, Venus is square Mars during the New Moon, so your desires and creative output might impact a commitment you’re making, or how you think about and approach joint resources, what you share, or who you trust.

On August 6th, Mars enters your fellow air sign Libra, and your ninth house of higher mind, where it’s in detriment and therefore perhaps operating with less cut-through and assertion. As Mars governs your close ties, rapport and neighbourly environments, its passage through this opposite sector could challenge you to be openminded, welcoming other perspectives. This area of the skies guides you toward wisdom, adventures and foreign outlooks, so you could be enthusiastic about another way of seeing situations, broadening your world-view. Yet this could also see you questioning your inherent thinking or take on things, your own frame of mind, rationale or conversational tone, and basic interactions, which have recently become more of a consideration.

The Full Moon lands on the 9th in your own zodiac sign. Around this time, your presence, personal life, your look or individuality could be illuminated. Your creative style, passion projects, playful affections, or children could factor too, with your chart ruler Uranus in your sector of artistic expression and children also governing this Full Moon. You could notice progress, sparks and innovation around your hobbies and happiness. Mars forms a trine to Uranus, an opposition to Saturn and Neptune, and a trine to Pluto, which is a volatile and somewhat unstable situation; something could suddenly pop.

Between the 10th and 11th Mercury stations direct in Leo, or your relationship sector. This is the beginning of a two-week period of time when Mercury will be winding down from this standstill, one peak of the retrograde period. It might be apparent you’ve been establishing your voice, staying dedicated to your intellect, and imagination, bringing an authority to the way you navigate and contextualize your ideas and rapport with close relationship ties, which could ultimately underpin joyful moments, your artistry, interests or sense of pleasure. Your co-rulers Saturn and Uranus are connecting in a precise sextile during these same days, perhaps bringing to a head some communication thrust that has been affecting your creative self-expression. At the same time Venus is conjunct Jupiter in your sixth sector, so that routine habits, your health, wellness practices, and workplace could be blossoming, too. Looking after yourself, your valuables or position must likely be reconciled within your environment – among neighbors or those in your orbit.

On the 15th the Last Quarter Taurus Moon lights up your home and family sector, so day-to-day errands and self-care practices are likely topical in a domestic setting. During this lunar phase, Mercury is sextile Mars in Libra, and here’s there could be the potential to straighten out interactions with a partner that have gotten heated. It might serve you to engage with a completely alternative viewpoint, experiencing another way of seeing life, and you might really listen to what someone else is saying. Perhaps you’ll get on the same page, confident you can be personally gratified and happy.

The Sun enters Virgo on the 22nd corresponding to your eighth sector of depth research, intimacy, and partnership agreements, as well as personal evolution.

The Virgo New Moon ensues late this same evening PT, or early morning the next day of the 23rd for the east coast and Europe. This New Moon opens with the Sun and Moon in their conjunction at the immediate focal point of a yod, or “Finger of God” pattern, with Saturn and Neptune are sextile Pluto, forming the base. This indicates another dramatic lunation cycle for the remainder of the month and on into September. This New Moon is somewhat dicey, with transformational evolution in the air and a touch of rebellion. This timing also makes for a fresh start around joint resources, partnership agreements, shared space and interests, and you might turn over a new leaf with trusted partners, either in a personal or a business sense. Your opinions, communication skills, and sense of identity could impact your fresh start, and you might also consider your passions, and how they affect your agreements. You could be ready to connect in a way that’s deeply personal, poised with the aptitude to get your point across. Sparking joy and indulging with a collaborator might not be easily reciprocated, unless you are ready and willing to negotiate within a binding energetic investment you’re willing to forge.
