Your daily horoscopes for Saturday August 16, 2025
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Saturday August 16
Stay the course, Ram! You’re not wild about repetitive routines, but under Saturday’s stabilizing quarter moon in practical Taurus and your grounded second house, you can make epic progress by slowly and surely plodding ahead. Even if your boredom meter goes through the roof, don’t throw in the towel. A breakthrough is just around the corner. If you feel overwhelmed by a big project, break it down into doable steps. Patience is a virtue as well as a learned skill. Take lots of breaks to get out in nature. Sunshine and oxygen are brain food. A subtle curiosity could snowball into a full-scale passion this Sunday! And thanks to a friendly merger of expressive Mercury in Leo and your ruler, unbridled Mars in your relationship realm, this might not be your stock-in-trade solo mission. Look around—in your friend circle and your social scroll—for people who can fan these flames with you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Saturday August 16
Are your needs at the bottom of the pile or the top of the stack? Self-care isn’t a luxury—and under Saturday’s stabilizing quarter moon in Taurus, you may be reminded that it’s a necessity. Bow out of any plans that aren’t your cup of matcha, then devote the day to pampering yourself as you see fit. Whether you’re getting a massage and pastel French pedicure or reading a novel by the pool, carve out the biggest possible window of time where you have no one to answer to but yourself. It’s not selfish, Bull. When you’re relaxed and recharged, everyone wins. Your home base holds the magic this Sunday! Mercury stirs up fresh ideas in your domestic fourth house while Mars powers through your sixth house of routines and wellness. One small shift in your space or a grounded conversation with someone under your roof could set big changes in motion. Tune in to what makes you feel supported, then act on it—rearrange the living room, break out the power drill and build those shelves.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Saturday August 16
Even if you can’t forget, you CAN forgive. Saturday’s quarter moon in Taurus illuminates your twelfth house of compassion and release, supporting you with this. Maybe you have every reason to be mad at someone in your circle, but who’s suffering more? It might be YOU, Gemini. If you aren’t ready to extend an olive branch, let this person stop living rent-free in your head. The first step in doing that? Stop bringing them up in every conversation! A passing idea could unfold into something exciting this Sunday. With Mercury lighting up your conversational third house and Mars charging through your fifth house of passion and creativity, even a quick exchange could spark a notion worth digging into. If you see more than a glimmer of possibility here, take one concrete step towards actualizing it. With a little nudging from you, this could take on a life of its own, Gemini!
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Saturday August 16
Two heads—and hearts—are always much better than one, Cancer. And three, four or five? That’s a winning strategy. If you’ve been trying to figure it all alone (yet again), Saturday’s quarter moon in Taurus and your collaborative eleventh house calls for a pivot. Instead of struggling, drum up inventive ways to pool resources with friends and neighbors. Be open to new people joining your core squad, especially if they have new ideas and positive energy to offer. Security is sexy this Sunday! With Mercury powering up your second house of income and values and Mars firing through your domestic fourth, one small move around money or home could set off a ripple of lasting change. Zero in on what makes you feel grounded, then act on it. Whether you’re fine‑tuning a budget or upgrading your space, that single step can anchor everything else you’re building.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Saturday August 16
If you’ve been hustling toward a goal but suddenly realize you’re heading in a direction that doesn’t honor your vibe, stop! Saturday’s quarter moon in Taurus and your career house can help you recalibrate your success strategy. Stop to examine what your heart desires NOW (as opposed to the last time you updated your Hinge or LinkedIn profile). It’s okay to shift your course. In fact, it’s a prerequisite to happiness. Take the pressure off of yourself to have everything figured out in record time, Leo. Rome wasn’t built in a day! With Mercury lighting up your first house of self‑expression and Mars charging through your third house of communication, your words have serious wattage this Sunday. Say it loud, say it proud! One spicy conversation or confident introduction will open doors fast. Lean into what you most want to share, then, put it out there. Whether that’s a pitch, an invite, or simply speaking your truth, your message lands when you own it fully.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Saturday August 16
Speak your mind this Saturday, but not without a little self-editing. As the quarter moon in vocal Taurus activates your candid ninth house it calls for balanced honesty. You’re the sign of the critic and tend to have strong opinions on…basically everything. The trouble is, not everyone can handle unfiltered feedback. Let your approach be more like a journalist than a preacher. You’ll draw more out of people by asking questions than you will by delivering hot takes. Epiphanies flow in this Sunday, as your ruler mindful Mercury drifts through your dreamy twelfth house. And since active Mars is chiming in, you probably won’t have that “aha!” moment reclining on a meditation pillow. Get up and get moving, Virgo! Walk to the store instead of driving, pop in a podcast that fuels you, or call a savvy friend for advice while you’re on the go. Record your insights on a voice note so they don’t disappear from memory!
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Saturday August 16
Your rarely seen jealous streak could make an unceremonious appearance on Saturday, as the quarter moon in Taurus fires up your eighth house of intense emotions. Competitiveness and even rage could rise to the surface and catch you by surprise. Try to keep your Libran cool and weigh your feelings against all available facts. You may have a legit reason to be annoyed, but making a mountain out of a molehill could permanently damage an important relationship. Inspiration is served with a side of connection this Sunday as social Mercury energizes your collaborative eleventh house. With excitable Mars firing from your first house, your best ideas will surface through discourse with others. Opinion poll friends over brunch or jump into a group chat with people whose tips and hot takes could unveil new solutions. You don’t need anyone’s permission before making a move, but having their support is like gaming the system in your favor.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Saturday August 16
Great minds don’t always think alike, Scorpio. With the quarter moon in Taurus—your opposite sign—this Saturday, the most helpful feedback might come from people whose POV is diametrically opposed to yours. Open up the opinion polls and listen objectively. Even if you don’t take their advice to heart, this process could reveal a few threads worth pulling. You might even feel a frisson of romance with an attractive “opposite.” Explore! Bring an existing relationship back to equilibrium by doing more giving—or receiving, if you’ve been the generous one. Clarity comes through strategy this Sunday as savvy Mercury activates your ambitious tenth house. With driven Mars firing from your reflective twelfth, your sharpest moves will come from a mix of planning and intuition. Bounce ideas off a trusted mentor or slip into a quiet brainstorming session with someone who vibes with your vision. You don’t need to broadcast your next step yet, but a little behind‑the‑scenes support now can set you up for a major win.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Saturday August 16
Tumbled off the wellness wagon? If you try to offset your fall with deprivation, you’ll never get on an even keel. Vibrant health isn’t about skipping every dessert or smashing a triathlon. It’s about forming habits you can stick with—and enjoy! Saturday’s stabilizing quarter moon in Taurus and your sixth house of healthy living can point the way to a well-modulated self-care plan. For example, make fresh fruit or vegetables 50 percent of every meal, and instead of grueling workouts, move every day and work in short bursts of high-intensity intervals. Big ideas meet promising alliances this Sunday as curious Mercury fires up your expansive ninth house. With energizing Mars sparking your collaborative eleventh, conversations in the group chat could open doors you didn’t even know were there. Say yes to brunch plans with a new friend group or sign up for an event (conferences, seminars) where you can network with like-minded souls. Even if it’s not happening until later in the year, you can start prepping already.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Saturday August 16
Own your shine, Capricorn! Saturday’s quarter moon in Taurus revs up your fifth house of celebrity, making this a perfect day for a little shameless self-promotion. Snap a few selfies and post about your latest wins. In love, a moderate approach works best today. While you don’t want to be secretive, save the acoustic guitar serenades for another time. For now, focus on being your love interest’s best friend (with benefits, naturally), and you’ll hit the perfect target. Capricorn, you like to keep things strategic, and this Sunday gives you the perfect opening. With Mercury diving through your intimate eighth house and Mars powering up your ambitious tenth, a casual conversation could put some steam behind your dreams. Talk big-picture goals with someone you trust or swap insights with a friend who knows the inner workings of your field. The more open you are about what you actually want, the easier it is to map your next power move.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Saturday August 16
Give Chateau Aquarius a little love! Saturday’s quarter moon in Taurus illuminates your domestic fourth house, giving you the urge to purge—and then maybe do a little nest-feathering. Clear out the clutter so you can see what’s no longer a vibe and decide what you like enough to keep. Who knows? With a concentrated effort, you might actually have room for a meditation and yoga area. Now see how much white space you can build into your calendar so you can be home long enough to enjoy your space. You thrive on connection, Aquarius, and this Sunday brings the perfect chance to deepen one. Mercury is lighting up your partnership zone while Mars charges through your adventurous ninth house, making every conversation a portal to something bigger. Who’s the friend who always shifts your perspective? Meet for a coffee or a road trip that gets you both out of your comfort zones. The point is that you’re exploring something new TOGETHER, whether a philosophical idea or a physical location.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Saturday August 16
Speak up, Pisces! You won’t be at a loss for words this Saturday as the quarter moon in Taurus activates your communication corner. Hit “send” on that message that’s been languishing in your drafts folder (just read it over first) and slide into those DMs. Then search for important emails that might have gotten buried. You might have skipped a “can’t miss” invitation! And even if you didn’t, grab the entertainment director’s baton. The only challenge? Figuring out who to invite and who to leave off the list. This quarter moon calls for savvier curating of your crew. Time to stop letting that bad apple spoil the barrel. While you might prefer “flow state,” Pisces, this Sunday calls for a little structure. Mercury is fine-tuning your sixth house of routines while Mars heats up your transformative eighth. Take time to grocery shop, meal-prep and power through that stack of laundry. Take breaks, of course, to connect to the people you love. They might even want to join you on an errand—or pop by to visit while your dark load is in the washer.
