Your daily horoscopes for Tuesday August 26, 2025
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 26
With passionate Venus in your romantic fifth house cozied up to fantasy-agent Neptune, you won’t have the best willpower—and maybe that’s a good thing, Ram. Your defenses are down, which can help you open your heart and get vulnerable. Whether it’s with your S.O. or a love interest who’s been waiting in the wings, this could move the needle in your relationship. That doesn’t mean you should be gullible, Aries. If someone’s “sweet nothings” raise a red flag, pay attention!
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 26
Your generous spirit takes center stage today as heartfelt Venus, your ruling planet, aligns with compassionate Neptune in two of the most emotionally rich zones of your chart. Lean into the urge to reconnect with a close friend or relative who’s drifted to the sidelines. One meaningful catch-up could lead to dinner plans… and maybe the inspiration to book a vacation together. At home, small shifts can have a calming effect. Add a few intentional touches to your space, like a crystal cluster on the nightstand or a diffuser with your favorite grounding essential oil blend.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 26
As indulgent Venus gets friendly with dreamy Neptune, you’re poised to make the kinds of connections that are deep and meaningful. An extended lunch with your work wife could plunge you down the rabbit hole of nostalgia. And after you reflect on fond memories, ping a few old contacts to schedule more catch-ups. (How about tonight, even?) No matter what you’re getting up to, “the more, the merrier” is the name of the game.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 26
The day unspools on an energizing note—and one that’s especially beneficial for your career. Thanks to an auspicious trine between imaginative Venus and visionary Neptune, you can tap a rich vein of creative gold. Want to align your passion with your profession AND make a profit? This cosmic combo amps up your manifestation powers and urges you to think outside the box. Under Neptune’s magnanimous influence, you might feel compelled to spearhead a social cause or volunteer pro bono services to an organization that could use them.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 26
The world is your oyster today—the kind with freshwater pearls! As illustrious Venus in Leo nuzzles up to enchanting Neptune, you’re invited to take a leap of faith and promote one of your talents. Under these limitless skies, you may be inspired to broaden your horizons and travel somewhere new. Not able to leave town? Since this transit opens your mind to new schools of thought, pick up a book about a metaphysical subject or enroll in a workshop led by an entrepreneur. You never know where that kind of voyage will lead!

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 26
Let love in today, Virgo, as passionate Venus nuzzles ethereal Neptune in the most romantic parts of your chart. Does a close friend or family member need a little extra TLC? Lend them your ear and, if necessary, a shoulder to cry on. This exchange could spark an unexpected healing moment for you both. Provide a safe space for this person to process. Caveat: This transit can make you susceptible to absorbing others’ emotions. Cleanse your energetic field afterward by taking a salt bath, meditating or going on a contemplative walk to clear your head.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 26
From your aesthetics to your sense of fairness, you like things “just so,” Libra. But sometimes, this can make you impatient with other people’s, er, shortcomings. Let’s be honest: There are days when it seems impossible to keep your judgmental side at bay. But as amicable Venus in your broad-minded eleventh house forms a warm connection to compassionate Neptune, you’re more likely to see everyone through rose-colored glasses. This view is a positive for sure—as long as you don’t veer too far in the other direction or ignore any red flags.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 26
Ready, set, release! Today, sensual Venus fist-bumps detoxifying Neptune in the most health-conscious parts of your chart. Whether you’re sampling vegan fare from a new lunch spot, streaming a Pilates class or tossing athleticwear into your cart, remember that self-care shouldn’t feel like punishment. Get your body moving again so you can glow from the inside out. Take pleasure in making these changes rather than approaching routines with a sense of dread. If it feels good, the routine is more likely to stick.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 26
The heat is on as seductive Venus in your boundless ninth house syncs up with fantasy-fueled Neptune in your passionate fifth. Love could ping you from afar (that ex who moved to France?), or you could meet your match in someone whose viewpoints oppose your own. Architect meets activist, Stockholm meets the South Bronx: Why not, Sagittarius? This auspicious starmap sparks soul-stirring connections. Not looking for love? Synergy could ignite with a potential collaborator or business partner whose skills and background are different from yours. Schedule that Zoom, stat!

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 26
Do not disturb! With Venus in your intimate eighth house cozied up to dreamy Neptune in your domestic fourth, you’d rather spend the day in your cocoon than venture out into the harsh world. No matter where you wind up, however, it’s hard to find much alone time. With passionate Venus setting off sparks, a lunch date could turn into an afternoon hookup. If love’s not in the cards for you at the moment, enjoy an intimate night with a close friend or family member. Or unwind with some music, a bath and a special meal.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 26
Ready to elevate a relationship to power-couple status? Venus in your partnership zone dances into a dazzling trine with Neptune in your communication house. This magnetic starmap puts you and someone special in the spotlight. Single Aquarians should dial up the charm dial because a witty conversation could ignite an attractive spark. This cosmic connection may come out of the blue, but with karmic Neptune involved, you might feel like you’ve known each other forever. A friendship could also blossom under these powerful skies. Bring on the kindred spirits!
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 26
Clear your space for abundance, Pisces. Today, magnetic Venus in your regimented sixth house forms a soothing angle to karmic Neptune in your money corner. If your finances have been out of balance or your relationships off-kilter, decluttering your home could help you regain equilibrium. From an energetic standpoint, keeping your life in disarray is similar to not dealing with deep-seated emotions. Take a meditative approach as you methodically go through everything bit by bit so you can create space to deal with the larger, more important tasks at hand.
