Overview for this Month: Aquarius (All)
August 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
You’re in great shape for finding balance in August, dear Aquarius. Harmonizing and connecting seem to be the most important factors for reaching your goals at this time of year. Work, wellness, and relationships all make headlines for you this month.
Good energy is with you as you dig deep into a special project and tackle various important chores. This can be a good time for physical therapy of some sort. Love matters get a nice boost this month, and some of this can involve work or routines. Pursuing these things can bring more enjoyment, or you might form a social or love connection in the process.
There is an emphasis on companionship and your close relationships this month, and it’s the time of year when others’ agendas and needs tend to come into the spotlight. You’re also more inclined to seek out others’ company, advice, and feedback.
When Mercury stations on the 11th, be on the lookout for mistakes and misunderstandings, particularly in your dealings with others, and negotiations and contracts. There is a general feeling of limbo until then, but it’s a fine time to strategize. While Mercury remains retrograde until the 11th, people in your life seem to have more dramas than usual, and you’re often drawn right in! It’s a time to revisit old problems, conversations, and negotiations. Others may not always come through for you in the usual ways, but there can be new ways of connecting to discover. This period is more about accepting and enjoying people than making big moves.
Mars moving into harmony with your sign from the 6th forward is an energetic boost. This transit helps things move along more smoothly and boosts your confidence, so obstacles either fall out of your way or you clear them more easily. Adventure, travel, or new sharing or learning opportunities could be part of the mix–those things that enliven the spirit, which can simply be about taking a fresh approach to the usual routine that serves as a refresher. You’re attracted to new physical or mental challenges, and your desire to learn about the world and share your ideas and opinions increases.
The Full Moon on the 9th is yours, occurring in your sign and bringing your emotions to the surface quite suddenly and perhaps dramatically! It might bring some attention your way or can have the effect of stirring up quite a bit of excitement and activity around you. You can experience a personal revelation or epiphany. If you’ve been particularly relationship-focused or doing a lot for others these days, which is more than likely, then you are bound to recognize your needs for some independence, a voice, or personal time. It’s a time to listen to your heart while avoiding impulsive moves.
The 22nd brings another shift of energy that’s inward-focused. You can experience a strong nudge towards looking within for answers as well as seeking out deeper involvement in or commitment to a project, venture, or relationship as the Sun now transits your solar eighth house. You’re not interested in fluff at the moment as you pursue more meaningful or absorbing experiences. As such, some endeavors are likely to fall by the wayside. You might reach conclusions about a relationship or yourself, as you see a matter more clearly. Still, your sense of adventure persists, and a sense of progress, improvement, or growth is a powerful motivator right now.
You more fully enjoy getting things done, working, helping, guiding, assisting, or being of service until the 25th. You may also be motivated to do meaningful work or to make your work more meaningful to you. Sparks of attraction or love might even occur while pursuing your daily routines or health goals.
After the New Moon on the 23rd, aim to let in the positive energy and make room for new opportunities. Intimate relationships can get a considerable boost, or you’re invested in connecting with your deeper desires and ambitions, and it feels great to get to know yourself better. A Sun-Uranus square around this time can leave you feeling torn or divided. Consider that one of the lessons of Uranus is to be willing to let go of a pattern or habit that’s holding you back. This way, you end up magnetizing more positive energy into your life.
It’s also a good time to feel more organized in your pursuit of security and stability. Efforts to improve spending and organize your belongings can boost family life. Your moderate approach benefits you. It’s a great time to organize your things! The desire to make yourself and your loved ones more secure or improve your home and family life is motivating, but it’s your ability to both structure and innovate that helps you achieve what you set out to do. You may find that improving your financial situation and management can significantly enhance your home life and provide you with greater direction and discipline.
Venus heading into your partnership sector on the 25th boosts your one-to-one connections. This transit may also bring helpful, kind people into your circle.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:
August 2025 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 22nd:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house–your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It’s not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it’s a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.
It’s a strong period for putting yourself into another person’s shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.
From August 22nd forward:
The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others’ money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.
All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic “junk” or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life’s secrets.
This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year’s events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 25th:
Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house now. This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you. You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You are likely to bring more tact and diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now. You may not be as productive as usual during this period, as the focus is more on social relationships and pleasure than on getting the job done. Improving health and vitality through pleasurable activities such as massage might be in focus now.
From the 25th forward:
Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person! You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections–very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.
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 regarding intimate and financial matters, as well as communications with children or romantic partners, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It’s not a good time to file your taxes or apply for a loan. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything for the time being. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now either.
Occurring in your solar seventh house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations and one-on-one communications. Be as non-judgmental as you can with a partner. There may be the need to revisit old issues in a partnership, or there could be some communication problems with a partner. An ex-partner may resurface during this cycle. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do some damage if you (or your partner) focus on the choice of words instead of the meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, try not to over-react to what your partner has to say. Mixed messages coming from a partner, or a disappointment, could occur now. You may not be as adept at mediating disputes for the time being, but it’s a good cycle in which to reflect upon your negotiation skills with the goal of improving them. Re-thinking a partnership arrangement is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners; 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 energize your solar eighth house. This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. You are more observant than active during this cycle, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action. There may be an increase in sexual appetite now. It’s an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities. Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others.
From the 6th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar ninth house. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.

August 2025 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
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.

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.

Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

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.

August 2025 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 12th:
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 12th 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.

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, and these matters move forward.
Until the 27th:
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.
From the 28th forward:
Mercury transits your solar seventh house. You tend to weigh the pros and cons of every issue during this cycle, taking into account others’ needs as well as your own. Some indecisiveness is possible now, simply because you naturally entertain opposing viewpoints. You have a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. You feel most comfortable spending time with people on a one-to-one level, or with those with whom you share a personal history.
Interestingly, your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others during this window. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, negotiating, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to advise others or to make peace with people in your life. You are more diplomatic than usual during this transit.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar eighth house. This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. You are more observant than active during this cycle, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action. There may be an increase in sexual appetite now. It’s an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities. Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others.
Overview Horoscope:
August 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
You’re in great shape for finding balance in August, dear Aquarius. Harmonizing and connecting seem to be the most important factors for reaching your goals at this time of year. Work, wellness, and relationships all make headlines for you this month.
Good energy is with you as you dig deep into a special project and tackle various important chores. This can be a good time for physical therapy of some sort. Love matters get a nice boost this month, and some of this can involve work or routines. Pursuing these things can bring more enjoyment, or you might form a social or love connection in the process.
There is an emphasis on companionship and your close relationships this month, and it’s the time of year when others’ agendas and needs tend to come into the spotlight. You’re also more inclined to seek out others’ company, advice, and feedback.
When Mercury stations on the 11th, be on the lookout for mistakes and misunderstandings, particularly in your dealings with others, and negotiations and contracts. There is a general feeling of limbo until then, but it’s a fine time to strategize. While Mercury remains retrograde until the 11th, people in your life seem to have more dramas than usual, and you’re often drawn right in! It’s a time to revisit old problems, conversations, and negotiations. Others may not always come through for you in the usual ways, but there can be new ways of connecting to discover. This period is more about accepting and enjoying people than making big moves.
Mars moving into harmony with your sign from the 6th forward is an energetic boost. This transit helps things move along more smoothly and boosts your confidence, so obstacles either fall out of your way or you clear them more easily. Adventure, travel, or new sharing or learning opportunities could be part of the mix–those things that enliven the spirit, which can simply be about taking a fresh approach to the usual routine that serves as a refresher. You’re attracted to new physical or mental challenges, and your desire to learn about the world and share your ideas and opinions increases.
The Full Moon on the 9th is yours, occurring in your sign and bringing your emotions to the surface quite suddenly and perhaps dramatically! It might bring some attention your way or can have the effect of stirring up quite a bit of excitement and activity around you. You can experience a personal revelation or epiphany. If you’ve been particularly relationship-focused or doing a lot for others these days, which is more than likely, then you are bound to recognize your needs for some independence, a voice, or personal time. It’s a time to listen to your heart while avoiding impulsive moves.
The 22nd brings another shift of energy that’s inward-focused. You can experience a strong nudge towards looking within for answers as well as seeking out deeper involvement in or commitment to a project, venture, or relationship as the Sun now transits your solar eighth house. You’re not interested in fluff at the moment as you pursue more meaningful or absorbing experiences. As such, some endeavors are likely to fall by the wayside. You might reach conclusions about a relationship or yourself, as you see a matter more clearly. Still, your sense of adventure persists, and a sense of progress, improvement, or growth is a powerful motivator right now.
You more fully enjoy getting things done, working, helping, guiding, assisting, or being of service until the 25th. You may also be motivated to do meaningful work or to make your work more meaningful to you. Sparks of attraction or love might even occur while pursuing your daily routines or health goals.
After the New Moon on the 23rd, aim to let in the positive energy and make room for new opportunities. Intimate relationships can get a considerable boost, or you’re invested in connecting with your deeper desires and ambitions, and it feels great to get to know yourself better. A Sun-Uranus square around this time can leave you feeling torn or divided. Consider that one of the lessons of Uranus is to be willing to let go of a pattern or habit that’s holding you back. This way, you end up magnetizing more positive energy into your life.
It’s also a good time to feel more organized in your pursuit of security and stability. Efforts to improve spending and organize your belongings can boost family life. Your moderate approach benefits you. It’s a great time to organize your things! The desire to make yourself and your loved ones more secure or improve your home and family life is motivating, but it’s your ability to both structure and innovate that helps you achieve what you set out to do. You may find that improving your financial situation and management can significantly enhance your home life and provide you with greater direction and discipline.
Venus heading into your partnership sector on the 25th boosts your one-to-one connections. This transit may also bring helpful, kind people into your circle.

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 seventh house of your solar chart from July 22 to August 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both July and August’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.
