Overview for this Month: Pisces (All)
August 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Pisces:
The potential for achieving a nice balance of attention to work, health, and relationships runs high in August, dear Pisces. The Sun spotlights your work and health sector until the 22nd. Mercury is retrograde in the same sector until the 11th, and some reorganizing and perhaps redoing or waiting for answers can be part of the picture. You can be productive while you wait, but there can be some backtracking involved. The recycling of projects and ideas can be extraordinarily successful now. You feel good this month when you’re useful and productive.
While there is a special emphasis on health, work, and routine this month, transits also boost your social life. Relationships are likely to be spirited and interesting this month. Others may spur you on, encourage you, or inspire you to action. It’s also an excellent time for creative work or pleasure-seeking activities. Feedback from others can be motivating.
Your powers of attraction run high in August. Excellent energy is with you to expand your horizons through creative endeavors or enjoy special hobbies, pleasures, romance, or pastimes. You’re likely to feel incredibly generous with your heart, time, happiness, or money. You’re magnetizing good things, people, attention, and situations into your life. Others appreciate your most natural qualities, and bonds can strengthen.
With Mercury retrograde until the 11th, it’s a time for dealing with errors made in the past, slowdowns, delays, and so forth, but the work you do now can pave the road for happy successes later.
From the 6th forward, investigations, analyses, and research are highly valued and are likely to lead to important discoveries. You seek deeper connections, whether this is with a project or a person! You’re more strategic and willing to dig deep and acknowledge your innermost desires. If you’ve been having issues with power dynamics and sharing in a relationship, now is the time to pull them out of hiding. If needed, you might pursue a loan or other forms of support.
The Full Moon on the 9th is a checkpoint time. If you’ve been overdoing the work or busy-ness angle, it’s a time for a sudden discovery of the need for extra time alone or rest, recuperation, and regeneration. There can be coincidences or discoveries of your feelings about a person or project, and your intuition is powerful. You’re sure to recognize the need to heal, unwind, and relax, even if for a short time, before you pick up the pace again. Getting to a good work-rest balance can be a challenge this month, but it is rewarding as you divide your time more equitably.
From the 11th, once Mercury turns direct, you’re ready to resolve problems that were overwhelming earlier in the month–the information you need arrives or delays abate.
Insight into health or work methods can be gained quickly and effectively. You’re not content to only discuss problems; you want to take steps towards resolving them. Opportunities to connect with someone special or to share good humor are likely to emerge this month. Your confidence increases.
There can be times when you’re battling yourself or money matters–your desire for security can feel at odds with your need to branch out. Part of you is focused on steadying your life, building a sense of security and safety, and managing your resources. However, these themes might feel at odds with another part of you that wants to go out on a limb or take a risk from time to time.
Your definition of comfort, abundance, security, and pleasure is evolving, and this impacts how you treat your things, your domestic world, and money matters. It’s a good time to achieve a nice balance between practicality and innovation, which contributes to your success. Your efforts to improve spending and structure your living space can boost your family life.
The 22nd brings another shift of energy as the Sun heads into your opposing sign and partnership sector. This transit stirs activity related to your social life or partnerships. If you’ve been feeling some unrest or feelings of restriction, you’re likely to want to handle the situation. The New Moon on the 23rd brings a fresh start and new interests or approaches.
Venus enters your sector of work, habits, and health on the 25th, encouraging you to strive for more harmony in your daily life, including your work or routines and health pursuits. You can take pleasure in producing, serving, and managing your daily affairs. You feel more accomplished through cooperation and sharing. Or, you might make pleasant contacts through the pursuit of your work, health, or daily goals.
Overall, August can be busy, but also quite excellent for making corrections and connections!

Pisces (Born February 20 to March 1) and Pisces Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Pisces:
August 2025 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 22nd:
The Sun continues to spotlight your solar sixth house. This is a busy period that finds you tending to many different details of your daily existence–your work, various projects, organization around the home and office, your daily routines, and health matters. Your ego may be especially tied up in the work you do, so that you are proud and more creative than usual in your job. You may be in the position to take charge in your work, or to take charge of your health and diet. Sometimes this cycle relates to increased activities involving pets. You seek to perfect your skills or methods now, and you focus on the parts that make up the whole now in order to improve your daily life. As a result, you can be more critical than usual, but this process is necessary for you to sort out what works for you and what doesn’t.
From August 22nd forward:
The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”.
You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It’s important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 25th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child–a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
From the 25th forward:
Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.
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 communications with a partner or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle.
Occurring in your solar sixth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to work, health matters, and daily routines. Be as non-judgmental as you can with co-workers and/or employees. Re-thinking the suitability of your job is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. Work-related mess-ups can frustrate you, or you might need to redo work that you thought was complete. However, you might find that the refinements you make now will be very valuable later. Double- check your work before submitting it. It’s a fine time for researching health and nutrition programs, as well as job skills and opportunities, but perhaps not the best time for beginning all-new programs. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers and health professionals; 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 move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.
From the 6th forward:
Mars energizes your solar eighth house now. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

Pisces (Born March 2 to March 11) and Pisces Ascendant 10 to 20 degrees Pisces:
August 2025 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It’s a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.
It’s time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn’t work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 8th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don’t wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
From August 8th forward:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It’s natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn’t be a problem–in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others.

From August 11th forward, information unclogs.
From August 20th forward:
Mercury continues to transit your solar sixth house. This is an excellent cycle for improving your skills, objectively identifying your weaknesses so that you can work on them, and for finding flaws in your work methods or approach to daily activities so that you can make necessary changes.
You might be especially focused on list-making and to-do lists, as well as organizing things around you. The need to communicate about your work, health, and other daily affairs, or with co-workers, is especially strong now. Negative expression of this position is worrying about sixth house matters (work, health, pets, and so forth) rather than finding ways to improve these things.

Pisces (Born March 12 to 20)
AND Pisces Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Pisces:
August 2025 Pisces 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 fifth house. This is a time when pleasure-seeking and creative activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.
This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It’s a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.
From August 12th forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It’s a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.
It’s time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn’t work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 16th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don’t wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
From August 17th forward:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It’s natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn’t be a problem–in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
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 communications with a partner or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle.
Occurring in your solar fifth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to matters surrounding romance, children, and creativity. Be as non-judgmental as you can with romantic partners and your children, if applicable. Re-thinking the suitability of your romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it’s actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It’s probably not the best time to launch a new creative project, but it’s a good time for reworking an existing one. Same goes for romance! Things will change after Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
From August 11th forward, information unclogs, and these matters move forward.
Until the 27th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar fifth house. Increased communication with children, romantic partners, and people who share the same hobbies as you can occur now. Certainly, you are thinking about these people and about love and romance, child rearing, and/or creative pursuits more than usual. Mental exercises and competitions can be particularly enjoyable now. You express yourself with warmth and creativity, and you have an appreciative “audience” for your ideas now.
From the 28th forward:
Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It’s an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.
Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.
You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment–and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the “little things” that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.
Overview Horoscope:
August 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Pisces:
The potential for achieving a nice balance of attention to work, health, and relationships runs high in August, dear Pisces. The Sun spotlights your work and health sector until the 22nd. Mercury is retrograde in the same sector until the 11th, and some reorganizing and perhaps redoing or waiting for answers can be part of the picture. You can be productive while you wait, but there can be some backtracking involved. The recycling of projects and ideas can be extraordinarily successful now. You feel good this month when you’re useful and productive.
While there is a special emphasis on health, work, and routine this month, transits also boost your social life. Relationships are likely to be spirited and interesting this month. Others may spur you on, encourage you, or inspire you to action. It’s also an excellent time for creative work or pleasure-seeking activities. Feedback from others can be motivating.
Your powers of attraction run high in August. Excellent energy is with you to expand your horizons through creative endeavors or enjoy special hobbies, pleasures, romance, or pastimes. You’re likely to feel incredibly generous with your heart, time, happiness, or money. You’re magnetizing good things, people, attention, and situations into your life. Others appreciate your most natural qualities, and bonds can strengthen.
With Mercury retrograde until the 11th, it’s a time for dealing with errors made in the past, slowdowns, delays, and so forth, but the work you do now can pave the road for happy successes later.
From the 6th forward, investigations, analyses, and research are highly valued and are likely to lead to important discoveries. You seek deeper connections, whether this is with a project or a person! You’re more strategic and willing to dig deep and acknowledge your innermost desires. If you’ve been having issues with power dynamics and sharing in a relationship, now is the time to pull them out of hiding. If needed, you might pursue a loan or other forms of support.
The Full Moon on the 9th is a checkpoint time. If you’ve been overdoing the work or busy-ness angle, it’s a time for a sudden discovery of the need for extra time alone or rest, recuperation, and regeneration. There can be coincidences or discoveries of your feelings about a person or project, and your intuition is powerful. You’re sure to recognize the need to heal, unwind, and relax, even if for a short time, before you pick up the pace again. Getting to a good work-rest balance can be a challenge this month, but it is rewarding as you divide your time more equitably.
From the 11th, once Mercury turns direct, you’re ready to resolve problems that were overwhelming earlier in the month–the information you need arrives or delays abate.
Insight into health or work methods can be gained quickly and effectively. You’re not content to only discuss problems; you want to take steps towards resolving them. Opportunities to connect with someone special or to share good humor are likely to emerge this month. Your confidence increases.
There can be times when you’re battling yourself or money matters–your desire for security can feel at odds with your need to branch out. Part of you is focused on steadying your life, building a sense of security and safety, and managing your resources. However, these themes might feel at odds with another part of you that wants to go out on a limb or take a risk from time to time.
Your definition of comfort, abundance, security, and pleasure is evolving, and this impacts how you treat your things, your domestic world, and money matters. It’s a good time to achieve a nice balance between practicality and innovation, which contributes to your success. Your efforts to improve spending and structure your living space can boost your family life.
The 22nd brings another shift of energy as the Sun heads into your opposing sign and partnership sector. This transit stirs activity related to your social life or partnerships. If you’ve been feeling some unrest or feelings of restriction, you’re likely to want to handle the situation. The New Moon on the 23rd brings a fresh start and new interests or approaches.
Venus enters your sector of work, habits, and health on the 25th, encouraging you to strive for more harmony in your daily life, including your work or routines and health pursuits. You can take pleasure in producing, serving, and managing your daily affairs. You feel more accomplished through cooperation and sharing. Or, you might make pleasant contacts through the pursuit of your work, health, or daily goals.
Overall, August can be busy, but also quite excellent for making corrections and connections!

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 a 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 reveal 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.
