Your daily horoscopes for Friday August 8, 2025
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Friday August 8
Are you holding onto resentment, Ram? Today, you might want to make things right, if only for the sake of karma. An energizing trine between your ruler, Mars, in your interpersonal seventh house and innovative Uranus in your communication zone brings issues into open dialogue. While there might be a few blunt comments or shocking statements, hopefully they’re in the spirit of revolutionizing a key relationship. Just make sure you’re not being passive-aggressive or punishing someone for past transgressions.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Friday August 8
Today, go-getter Mars in your health zone forms a supportive angle to spontaneous Uranus in your house of money and daily habits. You’re revved to revamp your lifestyle and get your affairs whipped into a high-functioning mode. Just make sure you’re not rearranging things on a superficial level or causing MORE chaos in your attempt to create order. Rather than renovate your whole house top to bottom, start with one closet. Or try a free weekly trial pass at that luxe yoga studio before splurging on a pricey package (no, Taurus, you won’t “motivate” yourself more if you break the bank on savasanas).
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Friday August 8
Today, you could have something to celebrate, and the revelry could get rowdy. With brash Mars in Libra forming a fast-paced trine to impulsive Uranus in your sign, there’s no holding you back. Hello, kissing passionately at the bar, twerking your way from TikTok to a tabletop. Just check your ego at the discotheque door because under this alignment, tempers and drama can flare fast. The vibe could morph from rock-star partying post-gig to trashed hotel rooms and fisticuffs in ‘da club. Pace yourself, Twin.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Friday August 8
Today, there could be lots of action on the home front, even some domestic drama. Hotheaded Mars and impulsive Uranus will form a supportive trine, merging their fire-starting powers. Yes, they’re playing nice with each other, but this combustible cosmic combo can crank up the thermostat on everyone’s moods and emotions. On the upside, there could be family bonding, tearful confessions and soul-stirring conversations. Hug it out, Cancer!
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Friday August 8
Today, energetic Mars in your cerebral third house forms a supportive trine to spontaneous Uranus in your group-activity sector. Hello, meeting of the minds! Watch for a life-changing conversation, synergistic connection or an opportunity to team up with like-minded innovators. Curb your argumentative streak, however, as a button-pushing conversation could turn into a serious verbal smackdown. Do you really want to talk politics with THAT person? Didn’t think so, Leo.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Friday August 8
Today, a financial windfall could arrive unexpectedly as energetic Mars in your money house forms a supportive trine to impromptu Uranus in your career sector. Perhaps you have an electrifying conversation that leads to a business proposition, or you apply for a sweet-sounding gig at a startup, and the founder emails you back an hour later. Since Uranus rules technology, online job searching could turn up a tempting offer. Fed up with your current 9-5? Under this fiery aspect, you could compose your resignation speech. Just beware any hasty departures, and save that “screw you” email to your boss as a draft. (Do not—we repeat, do NOT—press send.)
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Friday August 8
Ready for liftoff! Motivator Mars in Libra forms a helpful trine to changemaker Uranus in your visionary ninth house. You’re ready to seize the moment and make a name for yourself—no more waiting or excuses. You’ve got a message to share, and you can’t hold back. You could have an achingly authentic conversation with someone in which each of you speaks your truth and (hopefully) clears the air. Just watch the directness since this aspect can send your trademark diplomacy on hiatus. Remember, the point is to start fresh on an inspiring new page, not to rehash the painful past.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Friday August 8
Today, energetic Mars in your twelfth house of closure trines impulsive Uranus in your intimacy zone. You might get into one of your “cutting people off” frenzies and decide to clean house on your contact list. While in one or two cases this might be okay, it’s mostly just a case of projection and blame. Do some deep reflecting…and don’t shoot the messenger. Really look at the purpose these people served in your life. (For some brilliant insight, pick up Colin Tipping’s book Radical Forgiveness.)
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Friday August 8
Quelle surprise, Sagittarius! People are more of a passion than a pain-in-the-you-know-where today, as daring Mars in your friendship house trines impromptu Uranus in your relationship zone. Chemistry could brew with a casual acquaintance, or you might be inspired to meet new people, adding some eclectic faces to your squad. Watch your temper, though! The hotheaded Mars-Uranus aspect could cause you to fly off the handle before you get the whole story. You’re likely to overreact, so take a deep breath before you read someone the riot act.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Friday August 8
What’s next, Cap? Today could bring a breakthrough insight about one of your long-term goals or plans. Motivator Mars in your career house gracefully angles innovative Uranus in your sixth house of work, health and organization. Perhaps you’re revved up to commit to new fitness habits. Maybe you have an aha moment—you need a new assistant, intern, babysitter or support staff—and you find the perfect person online. Or you embark on a decluttering spree and discover old relics that realign you with your life purpose. Just watch your ego—and control issues—since the hotheaded Mars-Uranus combo can make people veer into tyrant terrain.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Friday August 8
It’s time to speak your truth and let your brightest light shine. Today, energizer Mars in your expansive ninth house trines your ruler, changemaker Uranus, in your zone of expression. Life takes on an air of pageantry, so go ahead and flaunt your unconventional personality. Perhaps it’s time to take a risk involving one of your more visionary ideas. You like to disrupt with your ambitious moves, but recently you may not have been as lucky as usual. Have you pulled back or stopped taking chances as a result? Dust yourself off and try again, Aquarius.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Friday August 8
Today, energizing Mars in your intimate eighth house forms a supportive trine to changemaker Uranus in your sector of home, family and femininity. Loosen that stiff upper lip because strong emotions could erupt, whether you want them to or not. Caution: Jealousy or possessiveness may also flare up under this aspect, and you can take things too personally. You might want to preemptively plan a spa night or make sure you’re around the most nurturing and self-sufficient people in your circle.
