The Year Ahead
Forecast for August 2025 to August 2026
If You Were Born Today, August 17:
You are a bit of a maverick. Although sensitive, you are not afraid to do your own thing! Personal magnetism and appeal are strong, although you can sometimes be pushy and manipulative when you want your way. You have good people skills when you need them, however, and you are adept at combining business and pleasure. It’s just that you are very charming and might get used to having things go your way. Your main challenge in life is to put the past behind you and avoid letting worries and fear rule your life.
You are highly intuitive and imaginative. Very amorous, you live for the excitement of romance. You are remarkably giving in love, and need to make sure you are met halfway, or you could become resentful. Loyalty in a mate is a critical quality for you.
Famous people born today include Taissa Farmiga, Davy Crockett, Robert De Niro, Mae West, Larry B. Scott, Sean Penn, Belinda Carlisle, Lexy Kolker, Helen McCrory, Rachel Hurd-Wood, Maureen O’Hara, Bryton James, Tammy Townsend, Tim Bagley, Julian Fellowes, Yu Aoi, Saraya Jade Bevis, John Marshall Jones, Jennifer Rhodes, Karen Abercrombie, Chipo Chung, Keston John, and Austin Butler.

With the Sun and Moon in harmony in your Solar Return chart, the year ahead should be satisfying and balanced overall. You are in comfortable demand and personally popular, and you are able to achieve a decent balance between work and play; personal and professional life.
For the most part, you are on top of your game this year, and positive connections with others can be made fairly easily. With the ability to handle your emotions successfully, there is less stress on both your mind and body. Your self-confidence and positive attitude will reward you!
This can be a time of improved mental connectedness or more energetic attention to communicating and sharing ideas. You’re putting your ideas out there more confidently and are more inclined to put your ideas into action than usual.
It’s an important year for attracting supportive, pleasant, or loving relationships. Your popularity increases and efforts to smooth over challenges in partnerships are more likely to succeed. You’re in better shape for negotiations and unions or partnerships.
It’s a potentially strong year for forging alliances through a shared dedication or pursuit. You’re paying more attention to balance, sharing, and reinforcement in these connections, and it’s a successful approach.
You can be a leader, taking charge and quite successful during this period. It’s a strong year for legal matters, business, or marriage. Your enterprising nature comes alive.

You’re often happily and pleasantly busy with personal interests and connections. Your outlook is positive, and you have more confidence in your skills. Transportation or communication systems in your life get a boost.
You might find that you become more goal-oriented this year, as superficial goals no longer satisfy you. You want your objectives to reflect what you re really about, and you are likely to rid yourself of unsatisfying goals this year.
Your ideas and methods are highly original. Dealing with the details may be less attractive than solving more interesting problems this year. You enjoy making new, exciting plans. Taking on a challenge on a mental level or engaging in games or competitions can be strongly in focus. It’s a powerful year for learning, sharing, and excitement about a special topic.
Needs and cravings are in focus this year, and you’re drawn to things you feel are more wholesome, healthy, and natural.

It’s also a stronger year for nurture and support and a fine time for satisfying pet projects and hobbies.
Circumstances and your mindset this year facilitate following through on your dreams or turning your visions and ideals into reality. Combining imagination and effort is successful now. There can be a real sense that your dreams are realizable.
You have an independent spirit, but you also want to be useful. You have much practical savvy this year. You can be especially dedicated to a particular relationship.
Fortunately, improved motivation levels regarding your work or projects and personal interests are in focus. There can be opportunities to pursue absorbing topics and projects of interest. More joy and meaning can be found in your work or obligations.
You have a strong potential to enjoy a balance between the new and the old, the tried-and-true and the progressive. You’re able to adapt and have your feet on the ground while also looking for ways to improve.
Summary:
The year is powerful for personal enjoyment and warm connections. Learning, studying, sharing, and guiding are in particularly good shape. At the same time, you’re feeling more ambitious and ready to put in the effort. Pacing yourself and keeping on top of your emotions are important. You can reach a new level of commitment with your work, although you should avoid pushing yourself (or others!) too strenuously.
2025 is a Number Seven year for you. Ruled by Neptune. This is a year of preparation, chance, and refinement. It is not a time of dramatic changes. Instead, it’s a year when reflection on the past is helpful, and when refinements to your life path should be made. It’s a good year to study and analyze. Unexpected twists to your life story and “chance” meetings are probable. Advice – take stock of your life in order to prepare for more exciting years to come, examine the past and plan for the future, get in touch with your deepest needs and uncover your personal power, don’t strain yourself or actively try to expand.
2026 will be a Number Eight year for you. Ruled by Saturn. This is a year of power and accomplishment. Actively seeking to expand, taking educated risks, and moving forward are highlighted. This is a year of opportunity, particularly in the material and business world, and opportunities need to be seized. It’s generally not a year to find a new love partner, simply because the focus is on the material world and your place in the world. This is a problem-solving year in which you can expect real, tangible results. Advice – take action, plan ahead, seize opportunities.
