Your daily horoscopes for Saturday August 23, 2025
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Saturday August 23
Hop aboard the wellness wagon, Aries! This Saturday brings the year’s first Virgo new moon—and the first in a rare, back-to-back pair. The sequel, a solar eclipse on September 21, will turbocharge anything you set in motion now and could deliver unexpected results. This lunation lights up your sixth house of self-care and organization, giving you the drive to create smarter systems for living and working. Where could you slip into a healthier, more efficient groove? Invest in tools and habits that help you budget, schedule, and streamline your days. Craving some four-legged company on your mission? With your sixth house ruling pets, you might soon be welcoming a furry sidekick. Don’t try to take on too much this Sunday, Aries. As the Virgo Sun crashes into a tense square with unpredictable Uranus you won’t be able to bend time. Beyond that, expect surprise detours or shifting priorities. Before you race ahead, pause and prioritize. Pinpoint what’s truly urgent or meaningful, then work from the top down. Flexibility will be your secret weapon against those curveballs.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Saturday August 23
Don’t let anyone dim your light, Taurus. This Saturday brings the year’s first Virgo new moon—and the first in a rare, back-to-back pair. The follow-up, a solar eclipse on September 21, will supercharge whatever you launch now and might even bring surprising twists. Today’s lunation powers up your fifth house of fame, passion, and self-expression, making it the perfect moment to showcase your talents or dive into a creative project. Been holding back instead of speaking up? This bold cosmic energy lowers your inhibitions and invites you to step into the spotlight. Bonus: In the coming days, your confidence could draw in an admirer—or a whole new fan base. Caveat: You might want to bite your tongue here and there on Sunday. The Virgo Sun in your self-expressive fifth house gets into a throwdown with radical Uranus in your second house of values. You’ve been putting up with something (or someone) for too long, and it feels as if you don’t speak up, you might explode. The trouble is, you won’t easily find a diplomatic way to get this off your chest. Rocking the boat could capsize an important connection today. Vent to a levelheaded third party instead of taking this one to the mat.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Saturday August 23
If these walls could talk, Gemini! This Saturday’s Virgo new moon in your domestic fourth house is the first in a rare, back-to-back pair. Its sequel—a solar eclipse on September 21—will fast-track any changes you set in motion now, possibly with unexpected twists. Start envisioning ways to refresh your space so it reflects your current vibe. You don’t have to splurge: a couple of textured throws, a framed print, or a statement lamp can transform a room. This lunation also brings a chance to reset a strained bond with a relative or close friend. Extend the olive branch and let a fresh chapter begin. Nevertheless, tempers could flare on Sunday when the Sun in your domestic zone squares off with irascible Uranus in Gemini. If you’ve been afraid to express your frustration to someone in close quarters, you could finally reach the breaking point. Or if you have kids, your sweet angel could suddenly turn into a little devil. Whatever the stressor, make some adjustments before you blow a fuse. Invite a friend or neighbor to start a casual babysitting co-op or have a straight talk about “respecting each other’s space” with the person who’s been encroaching on yours.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Saturday August 23
Ready, set, circulate! This Saturday’s Virgo new moon lights up your communicative third house, giving your social life a welcome boost. It’s also the first in a rare, back-to-back pair, with the follow-up—a solar eclipse on September 21—set to accelerate anything you set in motion now, possibly in surprising ways. Say yes to local events, try new activities, and explore what’s happening in your own backyard. Under this lunar lift, you could connect with someone who becomes a future collaborator or a cherished member of your inner circle. The more you mingle, the more magic you’ll make. Sunday’s stars could cause you to spiral, so careful not to get hooked onto one worry or negative thought. As the Sun forms a tense square with combustible Uranus in your unconscious realm, you might not even realize what’s gotten your knickers in a knot. While you can usually keep your temper under control, it’s hard to hold things in—or say them nicely—when you’re sitting on a volcano. Ask a friend who knows you well to be a sounding board. Or write in your journal until you get some clarity around your emotions. What you DON’T want to do is erupt out of the blue and spew hot lava all over someone you need to keep around.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Saturday August 23
Time to balance those books, Leo. This Saturday’s Virgo new moon spotlights your second house of money and security, helping you get crystal-clear on your income, expenses, and how to make the numbers work in your favor. It’s also the first in a rare, back-to-back pair, with the second—a solar eclipse on September 21—set to accelerate any financial goals you launch now. Job hunting? Dive into your search or reconnect with valuable contacts. Happy where you are? Schedule a performance review or a talk about growth opportunities. Need new skills to move up the ladder? Research training programs. The seeds you plant now could yield serious rewards by the corresponding full moon in six months. Sunday’s disruptive clash between the Sun in your security center and unpredictable Uranus in your friendship corner could cause some turbulence among the Leo League. You’re not comfortable second-guessing your BFFs, but someone may be running a hidden agenda. Has a collaborator been hogging too much of your time (or generosity) and not giving back in kind? Perhaps a colleague’s been taking credit for your ideas or forgetting to acknowledge your valuable work. Either way, you need to set some limits before you snap!

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Saturday August 23
New moon, new you! This Saturday launches your cosmic reinvention tour as the year’s first Virgo new moon infuses you with fresh-start energy. Even better, it’s the first in a rare, back-to-back pair—the follow-up, a solar eclipse on September 21, will supercharge anything you set in motion now and might bring unexpected breakthroughs. Put your passion projects front and center and set bold, clear-eyed intentions for the next six months. Record them in a spreadsheet, jot them in your journal, or create a vision board to keep you inspired. Think creatively about your own growth—if you don’t invest in yourself, who will? You’re eager to hit the ground running this Sunday, but hang on! The Virgo Sun swings into a tricky square with transformer Uranus in your career corner. Suddenly the status quo feels too quotidian. Volatile energy may be swirling inside you, making you question a recent career decision—or overall life trajectory. You have big plans for yourself (as per usual), but under this tense sky, you may find yourself expediting the timeline out of sheer impatience. Tempers might flare with a relative or a so-called authority figure. Don’t do anything rash, but do stay open to the possibility of radical change.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Saturday August 23
This Saturday’s Virgo new moon in your twelfth house of healing turns your attention to unresolved issues you’ve been sweeping under the rug. It’s also the first in a rare, back-to-back pair, with the second—a solar eclipse on September 21—set to accelerate any emotional work you begin now. If you want to bring more light into your world, you’ll need to face those stormier feelings head-on. La luna launches a six-month cycle, so pace yourself and give the process time. Seek support from a life coach, therapist, or spiritual guide who aligns with your values and can help you reach the other side stronger and clearer. So much for keeping it chill, on Sunday. Much as you hate confrontation you may finally need to call out someone who’s been a thorn in your side. When the Sun squares volatile Uranus in your outspoken ninth house, all the self-restraint in the world may not be enough to hold back your cannonball of candor. Before you unleash, be prepared for the other party’s response. Honesty begets honesty, so if you’re going to dish it out, make sure you can take it.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Saturday August 23
This Saturday’s Virgo new moon in your eleventh house of wishes connects you with your deepest desires—the ones you rarely share aloud. It’s also the first in a rare, back-to-back pair, with the second—a solar eclipse on September 21—poised to accelerate whatever you set in motion now, possibly in surprising ways. The eleventh house also rules teamwork, so remember: it often takes a whole (virtual) village to make big dreams happen. Let your circle in on what you’re seeking. Your goal might be reached through a friend of a friend. Socially, ditch the comfort zone and expand your network. Seek out fresh connections who share your passions and values. But choose your company wisely on Sunday, as the ego-ruling Sun in your friendship corner clashes with individualistic Uranus in your intimate eighth house. You can’t have your chocolate ganache cake and eat it too, so it’ll be up to you to decide if you can forgive people’s quirks in the name of solidarity. One approach is to create more free-flowing relationships with people who don’t “need” others to fill them up. That doesn’t mean you have to ditch your loyal companions—even the more high-maintenance ones. On the contrary: More independence makes your choices to be together all the more meaningful.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Saturday August 23
Ready, set, soar! This Saturday’s industrious Virgo new moon fires up your tenth house of ambition, setting you on a six-month trajectory toward major success. Even better, it’s the first in a rare, back-to-back pair—the second, a solar eclipse on September 21, could fast-track your plans and bring game-changing opportunities. Use today to map out your big mission in detail: what you want to achieve, how you’ll get there, and who needs to be on board. Your leadership could attract influential allies eager to lend their expertise. Skip the modesty for now. This is your moment to step up and raise your profile. Sunday’s eye-opening square between the Sun in your ambitious tenth house and disruptive Uranus in your relationship corner could unearth a surprising bit of data. You might learn that a colleague has an issue with your latest work or that a creative or romantic partner isn’t everything you’d hoped. Own your role in this, Archer. Did you overlook some inconvenient truths in a bid to get along? Or perhaps you gave up some of your power and have been relying too much on this person. Reset your expectations or figure out a way to live with lowered ones. Try to see the silver lining: This is a chance to develop greater self-reliance.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Saturday August 23
This Saturday’s Virgo new moon in your truth-telling ninth house brings suppressed thoughts and feelings to the surface. It’s also the first in a rare, back-to-back pair, with the second—a solar eclipse on September 21—ready to accelerate whatever you set in motion now. As emotions pour out, aim for diplomacy in your delivery. If you’re too fired up, hit pause on delicate conversations and process your feelings with a compassionate confidant first. Once you’re clear, you can share your truth without sparking unnecessary conflict. This lunation also favors learning, travel, and entrepreneurial ventures, so start exploring your next big adventure. Don’t let complex details sap your motivation this Sunday! Today, the Sun in your expansive ninth house spins into a tense square with chaotic Uranus, which could leave you overwhelmed by the finer points of a plan. But giving up now might mean quitting five minutes before the miracle happens! (Or five weeks, or five months.) Enlist the help of a friend or professional who’s been down this road to coach you through those sticking points. They might be confusing, but they may also prove to be the key to your success. And remember, the goal here is to follow your bliss—not prove your qualifications to the outside world.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Saturday August 23
Soul-to-soul bonding tops the list this Saturday as the Virgo new moon illuminates your big-feeling eighth house. This is the first in a rare, back-to-back pair—the second, a solar eclipse on September 21, could rapidly deepen any connections you begin now. If you’re craving intimacy, take steps to create it. Emotional risks you make today could solidify a bond for the long haul. Resist the urge to retreat when things get real—trust is built by staying present through the good, the bad, and the messy middle. On a practical note, this lunation could spark a joint financial venture. Explore your options now, knowing developments could speed up as the weeks unfold. Don’t push your limits just because you’re bored this Sunday. The fiery Sun is blazing through your intimacy sector, yet since it’s forming a challenging angle to your ruler, problem child Uranus, in your passion zone, you might struggle to resist temptation. But if you’re hoping to form a lasting bond with a person who can only be counted on to disappoint you, save your love for someone more deserving. While you’re holding out for a relationship that brings a quality ROI, seek your thrills in ways that won’t wreck your hard-won security. It’s not fair leading people on just to stroke your ego.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Saturday August 23
It’s “officializing” time, Pisces. This Saturday’s Virgo new moon activates your seventh house of relationships, sweeping away the evasive energy that’s kept you from moving forward. Even better, it’s the first in a rare, back-to-back pair—the follow-up, a solar eclipse on September 21, could fast-track partnerships you begin now. If you’ve been holding people at arm’s length or choosing unavailable prospects, this lunation flips the script, opening you to healthy, mutually supportive bonds in both love and business. Keep your radar tuned for collaboration opportunities—an impressive dynamic duo could be in the making. Trying to please everyone is a losing proposition this Sunday, so hop off that hamster wheel. This lesson gets driven home today as the Sun in your relationship center squares off with disruptor Uranus in your fourth house of home and family. A relative or a roommate may be pushing your buttons, possibly stirring up trouble deliberately. Normally you’d try to get to the bottom of this, but you may be so upset that you can’t or won’t spend the time talking to them. Call a timeout and retreat to neutral corners before the olive branch you need to extend snaps in half.
