Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 6
Ready to trade endless crunches for chemistry experiments? After seven intense weeks of Mars powering through Virgo and your wellness zone, you may have whipped your habits into shape—or wrangled a never-ending to-do list into submission. Now your ruling planet moves into Libra, activating your relationship realm until September 22. This next chapter is about bold, magnetic partnerships—in business, love, or both. Tempted to lock something down before the summer ends? Don’t rush just to check a box. Let real connection—not outside pressure—set the pace.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 6
After a fiery spell in your romance zone, Mars shifts gears—and so should you. Since mid-June, the red planet’s visit to Virgo has stirred passion, drama, and maybe even a jaw-dropping romantic plot twist. But starting today, Mars moves into Libra and your sixth house of wellness, routines, and renewal until September 22. Now it’s time to channel all that heat into healthy habits. Think strength over stress, discipline over drama. Whether it’s meal-prepping, strength training, or cutting ties with a sneaky bad habit, your body (and mind) will thank you.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 6
Stressful Mars has been in your home and family sector since June 17, making the last seven weeks emotionally restless. You may have couch-surfed, moved or found yourself short on relaxation time. Friction with a relative or a key female might have increased as you motivated and irritated each other equally. Today, the red planet leaves this challenging position and moves into Libra, your fifth house of romance, until September 22. Prepare for a spicy, steamy end to summer—and for some Gems, a fertile one, too. Courageous Mars makes you bold, so if you’re feeling an attraction, don’t keep it to yourself!
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 6
With outspoken Mars in Virgo and your communication house since June 17, you could win an assertiveness award! You may have broken through some shyness barriers, perhaps putting your creative work or writing on display. Today, this red-hot planet moves into Libra, your home and family house. Between now and September 22, you could move, change your decor or even have a “new addition” to your family. A powerful woman could appear as a motivating figure. Caution: You might want to think twice about hosting family during this cycle since stressful Mars here can increase the friction under your roof.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 6
Money and work have been supercharged for the last seven weeks while energetic Mars was in your second house of finance. Your bills and budget could have been a source of stress, or you may have had a fast-paced, demanding assignment that kept you on edge. Today, the red planet moves on to your communication house. Until September 22, exciting correspondences and collaborations could arrive. Your social life is also abuzz, and you could be fielding multiple parties in a night. Now that’s one way to make the most of your birthday season, Leo!

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 6
Hey now, look at YOU, Virgo. Sexy, energetic Mars has been in your sign since June 17, a seven-week visit that’s brought out your assertiveness, charisma and life-force energy. You’ve become fiercely sensual and outspoken, and it suits you. Today, the red planet leaves Virgo and moves into Libra, heating up your work and money house until September 22.

Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 6
Great news for you, Libra! Energizer Mars has been languishing in Virgo, your sleepy twelfth house, since June 17. While you may have done some emotional and spiritual work, it’s been a confusing time where the road ahead was unclear. Getting motivated has been a special challenge, and your energy, health and “fighting spirit” have been in short supply. Today, the red planet enters Libra, flipping on the lights, rebooting your system, and pulling your inner butterfly out of that dark cocoon. Mars is here until September 22, promising to make spirits (yours in particular) bright for the rest of the summer. Get ready to have a blast and turn some heads while you’re at it!
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 6
Your friendships have been a source of excitement and irritation for the past seven weeks thanks to energetic Mars in Virgo and your eleventh house of group activity. Collaborations have been like herding cats at times, then insanely inspiring other times. Today, the red planet enters Libra, nestling in your restful twelfth house until September 22. Dial it down, conserve your energy and focus on emotional healing, spirituality and closure. A clandestine attraction could draw you in. Think twice before you follow that curiosity, no matter how intensely compelling it may be.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 6
Hey there, leader of the pack: Can we get an autograph? You’re at the top of your game, thanks to seven weeks of motivator Mars in Virgo, your tenth house of success and fame. Since June 17, your star has been rising. And if work’s been tense, it’s only because you’ve been playing below your potential. Today, the red planet leaves Virgo for Libra, your house of teamwork and technology. Between now and September 22, you’ll join forces with some all-star players. It’s a great time to launch a sexy website refresh or a viral social media post. The eleventh house also rules social justice, so connect with a cause and champion it!

An emotional and private cycle comes to an end today. Since June 17, energetic (and stressful) Mars has been in Virgo, your eighth house of intimacy and shared finances.

Relationships may have been exciting, intense and extra-spicy for the past seven weeks. For other Pisces, they’ve been dramatic and even argumentative.

Today, the red planet moves into Libra, your intimate eighth house, kicking off yet another steamy chapter of your private life. You may also have the opportunity to score a big deal or earn a large chunk of cash at once. A joint venture, real estate purchase/sale, pregnancy or engagement is possible between now and September 22.
