Overview for this Month: Virgo (All)
August 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Virgo:
August is often a subdued month that comes in like a lamb and out like a lion for you, dear Virgo. In some ways, this is true this year, but not entirely. This is because you begin the month with Mars still in your sign, animating your desires and pushing your agenda. It doesn’t stay for much longer (on the 6th, it moves on), but it’s revving you up on some levels. As well, you have sociable Venus in your social sector until the 25th, keeping you connected and popular.
Even so, it’s the time of year for spiritual renewal, slowing down, reflection, and rest–thanks to the Sun in your privacy sector to the 22nd and Mercury, your planetary ruler, is there all month.
By the time of the Full Moon on the 9th, you’ll need to come to a good balance between work and rest, but it’s important to give your need for downtime its due attention. You’re winding down a year’s cycle, after all, and you’ll want to begin the new solar year with clarity and energy. This Full Moon can bring a work, health, or private matter to light or to a turning point.
You’ll find it natural to want to review your work instead of pushing for a launch or significant change. Even so, you can feel strongly on the verge of a meaningful change – something big – but you’re inclined to pace yourself, and it’s a good idea. There is much happening behind the scenes and within your mind in August. This is a powerful time for putting an end to situations or attitudes in your life that have become more burdensome than rewarding or that have grown toxic for you emotionally. Rest, reflection, and focus on mental and spiritual health are prominent themes.
From the 6th onward, Mars marches through your resources sector, motivating you. It’s a good time for money ideas or sources and fresh approaches to business or money management. This transit energizes your desire to get comfortable, make money, or organize your belongings. Mars brings more energy, courage, and initiative to your financial life or business. It can also be a time to build up your resources or utilize your natural talents effectively. The drive to improve your resources is strong, but tensions can also arise surrounding finances and possessions. Questions of ownership and values can be hot topics.
Paying particular attention to both your practical and spiritual needs comes easily, helping you to find a healthy balance. It’s true that Mercury is retrograde until the 11th, and this suggests major decision-making should probably wait. Still, you’re sensible and clear on the bigger things in your life.
Mercury’s retrograde, which lasts until the 11th, can be a little tricky, mainly due to possible communication breakdowns, misunderstandings, or transportation issues. Watch for revealing something that you’d prefer to remain hidden. However, it’s a good cycle for redoing and refining work already underway and backtracking over the past to find answers you previously overlooked. If you let go of expectations and allow your mind some free rein, it’s a good time for creative visualization and pursuits.
You come out of your shell further from the 22nd forward, when the Sun enters your sign. You project quite a bit of strength, even if part of you is still undecided on some levels until Mercury enters your sign in early September. The Sun awakens your desire to take charge of your life and set new personal goals. People notice you! On the 23rd, the New Moon is in your sign, and it’s a time of fresh starts. The inner troubleshooting that you’ve been engaging in starts to pay off as you regain some sense of direction and determination.
Opportunities can also emerge to advance materially or emotionally by thinking of your future. Being progressive and willing to make minor changes can pay off. Love or business relationships can be supportive. Something changes, such as leaving a no-win or dead-end situation behind. You could find yourself especially motivated by, and passionate about, the work you do. Support is forthcoming. Getting your finances and support situation sorted out can motivate and inspire your work or even lead to a positive new direction or reputation.

Virgo (Born August 23 to September 2) AND Virgo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Virgo:
August 2025 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 22nd:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.
Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
From August 22nd forward:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It’s a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it’s time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There’s nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It’s not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It’s time to carve your own path in life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 25th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eleventh house. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It’s a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won’t enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.
From the 25th forward:
Venus is spending some time in “hibernation” in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from July 18th to August 11th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your own body language and personal manner (you may feel that others misunderstand you), as well as communications involving the career or public, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. You are ruled by Mercury, so the likelihood of being misunderstood, in general, is high. Put off career decisions as well, as career matters are Gemini-ruled for you.
Occurring in your solar twelfth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to privacy matters. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you’re picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. You might unwittingly reveal something that you’d prefer to keep private. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating about your inner world now; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
From August 11th forward, information unclogs.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 6th:
Mars continues to activate your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general.
This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive.
You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.
From the 6th forward:
Mars energizes your solar second house. You have more energy at your disposal to make money, but also to defend your values. This can be a very resourceful time, when you make the most of what you have. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones.
You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others using money and possessions as the means to do so. If conflicts occur during this transit, they are likely to be over issues of ownership. This is a time when impulse buying is at a peak. You probably should avoid using credit right now, simply because your spending habits may be excessive and impulsive.

Virgo (Born September 3 to 12) AND Virgo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Virgo:
August 2025 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have–to things, people, and routines–and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It’s not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it’s a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 8th:
Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It’s a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It’s a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.
From August 8th forward:
Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from July 18th to August 11th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your own body language and personal manner (you may feel that others misunderstand you), as well as communications involving the career or public, because Mercury rules these areas of your life.

From August 11th forward, information unclogs.
From August 20th forward:
Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem “right” for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past. It’s a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until August 22nd:

Virgo (Born September 13 to 23) AND Virgo Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Virgo:
August 2025 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 12th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.
You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.
From August 12th forward:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have–to things, people, and routines–and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.

Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 16th:
Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It’s a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It’s a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.
From August 17th forward:
Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from July 18th to August 11th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your own body language and personal manner (you may feel that others misunderstand you), as well as communications involving the career or public, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. You are ruled by Mercury, so the likelihood of being misunderstood, in general, is high. Put off career decisions as well, as career matters are Gemini-ruled for you.
Occurring in your solar eleventh house this time, extra care should be used when communicating with friends. You may find that communications with friends or with groups can easily become sticky during this cycle. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may be uncommunicative or giving off mixed signals. On the other hand, old acquaintances may appear during this cycle, or you could be thinking about contacting an old friend. This may be a good time to do so. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with friends and associates during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.
From August 11th forward, information unclogs, and these matters move forward.
Until the 27th:
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.
Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it’s a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.
From the 28th forward:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You’re searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don’t waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

It’s true that Mercury is retrograde until the 11th, and this suggests major decision-making should probably wait. Still, you’re sensible and clear on the bigger things in your life.
Mercury’s retrograde, which lasts until the 11th, can be a little tricky, mainly due to possible communication breakdowns, misunderstandings, or transportation issues. Watch for revealing something that you’d prefer to remain hidden. However, it’s a good cycle for redoing and refining work already underway and backtracking over the past to find answers you previously overlooked. If you let go of expectations and allow your mind some free rein, it’s a good time for creative visualization and pursuits.
You come out of your shell further from the 22nd forward, when the Sun enters your sign. You project quite a bit of strength, even if part of you is still undecided on some levels until Mercury enters your sign in early September. The Sun awakens your desire to take charge of your life and set new personal goals. People notice you! On the 23rd, the New Moon is in your sign, and it’s a time of fresh starts. The inner troubleshooting that you’ve been engaging in starts to pay off as you regain some sense of direction and determination.
Opportunities can also emerge to advance materially or emotionally by thinking of your future. Being progressive and willing to make minor changes can pay off. Love or business relationships can be supportive. Something changes, such as leaving a no-win or dead-end situation behind. You could find yourself especially motivated by, and passionate about, the work you do. Support is forthcoming. Getting your finances and support situation sorted out can motivate and inspire your work or even lead to a positive new direction or reputation.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart.
Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
