August 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Gemini:
Themes of learning, transportation, communications, and daily affairs continue this month, dear Gemini. Still, enjoying your home and personal life more fully can also figure strongly in August. The month is sure to be lively and engaging, offering the perfect balance of busy and quiet moments to keep you feeling comfortably challenged.
Mercury is retrograde in your communications sector until the 11th, and delays or misunderstandings can be notable until then! But while there can be ups and downs and delays to manage, you’ll ultimately get to see which of your projects are genuinely viable and worth your effort. Try your best not to dwell on flaws and problems, and this can be a rewarding period when revisiting past projects or subjects of study can be satisfying. You’ll find that you’re at your most fulfilled when you’re feeling better organized and disciplined.
While Mercury’s retrograde can sometimes muddle communications, in a general sense, you’re generating more warmth and trust with important people in your life. You’re committed to making the most of your talents.
On the 6th, Mars moves into your sector of joy, bringing this fiery and courageous planet into your solar fifth house. It’s a period of extra dynamism, stimulation, and action, particularly in your creative, entertainment, and romantic worlds. This more outgoing cycle brings smoother energy to most of your endeavors, as your direct approach tends to get you results.
While this is generally a time for sticking close to home or familiar settings, around the Full Moon on the 9th, there might be a sudden desire to depart your usual routine or do something more refreshing, meaningful, and life-affirming. It could be about receiving news or a great idea coming to full bloom. Whatever emerges now sets you along a new path regarding your beliefs and attitudes. Something comes to light that changes your perspective and focus, lifting your concerns above and beyond the routine. It can encourage you to look at the big picture or to reach higher and wider. Unmet and unspoken needs can find a platform now. Consider that your needs for variety, independence, and freedom are key, and understanding these things is better than letting them rule your decisions.
Mercury’s direct turn on the 11th is a boost to clarity. It helps you clear up problems and find the answers you sought to issues raised earlier in the month. You can put some editing work behind you, or you get news that helps move things forward. Rewards come from activities that engage your heart. Your powers of communication, especially your willingness to speak more frankly and openly, heighten your magnetism.
Personal comfort, artistry, aesthetics, decoration, and prized possessions can be in high focus. Home life can be animated at times this month, but the purpose of this is to stir up change rather than to cling to stale or dysfunctional ways of living that are doing nothing for you.
You might experience a stronger drive to enjoy certain freedoms or the fruits of your labor this month. There can be a gift or discovery of a resource that benefits you. This is a good time to gain an overall sense of your next step or move. Before proceeding, consider enjoying some stillness or pausing to appreciate the moment. This pause is just right for you now!
The Sun moves into your home and family sector on the 22nd for a month-long transit that is determined to see you rest and recuperate. It’s also a time for making improvements in your domestic world.
A Sun-Uranus square near the New Moon on the 23rd can mean you’re feeling rebellious, restless, and curious. Resist the urge to react abruptly if your plans aren’t coming together as quickly and efficiently as you’d hoped. Honor your need for a change of scene, then come back fresh. Getting rid of extras and distractions to get a sense of your priorities makes the most sense now. There are times when your inner rebel gets in the way of the calm and peace you seek, and with this New Moon, you might seek ways to combine or answer both of your very valid needs for independence and comfort. Try to recognize those things that could steer you off course. The New Moon promotes a fresh start, bringing take-charge energy to your domestic world.
From the 25th forward, you can find much to enjoy in personal interests, studies, short trips, and making contact with others. It’s a good time for relationships with siblings, classmates, and neighbors.
As you open your heart to new ideas and methods, you let in the positive vibes, and move just a little out of your comfort zone. The urge to break free from limiting conditions is intense now. You are looking to the future, not the past, and the desire to leap into new and unexplored territory is powerful. Your happiness goals fuel your independence. You’re arriving at a healthy balance between realism and spirit or independence. You’re keeping your feet on the ground while exploring your sense of freedom.
At the same time, strengthening energy is with you that helps you enhance friendships and love connections. Use extra boosts of energy and motivation to fix problems, work enthusiastically at your projects or current interests, and look for ways to clear up the clutter in your life. It’s an excellent time for love connections, flirtations, and fun messages with people you care about.

Gemini (Born May 22 to 31) and Gemini Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Gemini:
August 2025 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 22nd:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house–a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a “busy bee”. Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.
From August 22nd forward:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.
Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself–to fill your well, so to speak.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 25th:
Venus continues to grace your solar second house during this period. You might receive gifts or bonuses now, or you find much comfort in what you already own and have. You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for. When it comes to love, you value those who make you feel comfortable and secure.
From the 25th forward:
With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.
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 your personal presentation or image to others and communications with family because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Because Mercury is your sign’s ruler, all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues may apply. Put off making important decisions with regards to family and domestic matters (Virgo-ruled for you) just now, and take care when it comes to communicating with family members.
Occurring in your solar third house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to composing letters, emails, making phone calls, and with communications in general. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues with siblings or neighbors, errands could go wrong, you might have trouble getting from point A to point B (example, transportation problems), emails or letters get lost, and so forth. Idle chit- chatting during this period may have repercussions! People might be misunderstanding your words. You may be forgetful during this cycle, and it makes sense to allow yourself extra time to get to appointments, if they are not cancelled in the first place! It would also be wise to double-check your work and communications before sending them off.
From August 11th forward, information unclogs.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 6th:
Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone’s goat.
From the 6th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar fifth house. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic, and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. However, in some cases, you may be coming on too strong or aggressively, or meeting with aggressiveness in romantic relationships.

Gemini (Born June 1 to 11) and Gemini Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Gemini:
August 2025 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting “busy-ness” and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.
Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle.
You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are of something entirely new. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking! Rather, it’s a time of little adventures close to home.
Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 8th:
Venus continues to grace your solar first house now. Something about how you present yourself, your image, and your manner boosts your personal magnetism during this cycle. It’s a good time to attract who and what you want into your life experience. You’re more charming and you are likely to want to attract things to you indirectly rather than forcefully now, perhaps through charm and playfulness. You have a stronger need to be good to yourself, although a negative expression of this placement can be excessive attention to pampering oneself or taking the easy way out. You especially enjoy making a good impression on others, and peace-making. You might also be paying more attention to beauty and style now.
From August 8th forward:
Venus transits your solar second house and, as the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right “at home” here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.

It would also be wise to double-check your work and communications before sending them off.
From August 11th forward, information unclogs.
From August 20th forward:
Mercury continues to move through your solar third house. Mercury feels right at home in the third house. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects.
As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It’s a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Gemini (Born June 12 to 21)
AND Gemini Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Gemini:
August 2025 Gemini Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 12th:
The Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most “financial” period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now.
You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, however, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when “comfort zones” are more important to you than usual–you value the familiar.
From August 12th forward:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting “busy-ness” and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.
Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle.
You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are of something entirely new. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking! Rather, it’s a time of little adventures close to home.
Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 16th:
Venus continues to grace your solar first house now. Something about how you present yourself, your image, and your manner boosts your personal magnetism during this cycle. It’s a good time to attract who and what you want into your life experience. You’re more charming and you are likely to want to attract things to you indirectly rather than forcefully now, perhaps through charm and playfulness. You have a stronger need to be good to yourself, although a negative expression of this placement can be excessive attention to pampering oneself or taking the easy way out. You especially enjoy making a good impression on others, and peace-making. You might also be paying more attention to beauty and style now.

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your personal presentation or image to others and communications with family because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Because Mercury is your sign’s ruler, all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues may apply. Put off making important decisions with regards to family and domestic matters (Virgo-ruled for you) just now, and take care when it comes to communicating with family members.
Occurring in your solar second house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to new financial initiatives. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues regarding personal finances. Take this time to re-budget instead of making premature purchases. Hold off on major decision-making regarding money. 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 important for the time being. In fact, some money-making ideas or ventures may be put on hold due to circumstances beyond your control. This is an excellent period for review, however.
From August 11th forward, information unclogs, and these matters move forward.
Until the 27th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar second house. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting undue pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment. Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle. Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.
From the 28th forward:
Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however.
Also, “information overload” is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now and perhaps scattered. It’s an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to the routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project.
Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone’s goat.
Overview Horoscope:
August 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Gemini:
Themes of learning, transportation, communications, and daily affairs continue this month, dear Gemini. Still, enjoying your home and personal life more fully can also figure strongly in August. The month is sure to be lively and engaging, offering the perfect balance of busy and quiet moments to keep you feeling comfortably challenged.
Mercury is retrograde in your communications sector until the 11th, and delays or misunderstandings can be notable until then! But while there can be ups and downs and delays to manage, you’ll ultimately get to see which of your projects are genuinely viable and worth your effort. Try your best not to dwell on flaws and problems, and this can be a rewarding period when revisiting past projects or subjects of study can be satisfying. You’ll find that you’re at your most fulfilled when you’re feeling better organized and disciplined.
While Mercury’s retrograde can sometimes muddle communications, in a general sense, you’re generating more warmth and trust with important people in your life. You’re committed to making the most of your talents.
On the 6th, Mars moves into your sector of joy, bringing this fiery and courageous planet into your solar fifth house. It’s a period of extra dynamism, stimulation, and action, particularly in your creative, entertainment, and romantic worlds. This more outgoing cycle brings smoother energy to most of your endeavors, as your direct approach tends to get you results.
While this is generally a time for sticking close to home or familiar settings, around the Full Moon on the 9th, there might be a sudden desire to depart your usual routine or do something more refreshing, meaningful, and life-affirming. It could be about receiving news or a great idea coming to full bloom. Whatever emerges now sets you along a new path regarding your beliefs and attitudes. Something comes to light that changes your perspective and focus, lifting your concerns above and beyond the routine. It can encourage you to look at the big picture or to reach higher and wider. Unmet and unspoken needs can find a platform now. Consider that your needs for variety, independence, and freedom are key, and understanding these things is better than letting them rule your decisions.
Mercury’s direct turn on the 11th is a boost to clarity. It helps you clear up problems and find the answers you sought to issues raised earlier in the month. You can put some editing work behind you, or you get news that helps move things forward. Rewards come from activities that engage your heart. Your powers of communication, especially your willingness to speak more frankly and openly, heighten your magnetism.
Personal comfort, artistry, aesthetics, decoration, and prized possessions can be in high focus. Home life can be animated at times this month, but the purpose of this is to stir up change rather than to cling to stale or dysfunctional ways of living that are doing nothing for you.
You might experience a stronger drive to enjoy certain freedoms or the fruits of your labor this month. There can be a gift or discovery of a resource that benefits you. This is a good time to gain an overall sense of your next step or move. Before proceeding, consider enjoying some stillness or pausing to appreciate the moment. This pause is just right for you now!
The Sun moves into your home and family sector on the 22nd for a month-long transit that is determined to see you rest and recuperate. It’s also a time for making improvements in your domestic world.
A Sun-Uranus square near the New Moon on the 23rd can mean you’re feeling rebellious, restless, and curious. Resist the urge to react abruptly if your plans aren’t coming together as quickly and efficiently as you’d hoped. Honor your need for a change of scene, then come back fresh. Getting rid of extras and distractions to get a sense of your priorities makes the most sense now. There are times when your inner rebel gets in the way of the calm and peace you seek, and with this New Moon, you might seek ways to combine or answer both of your very valid needs for independence and comfort. Try to recognize those things that could steer you off course. The New Moon promotes a fresh start, bringing take-charge energy to your domestic world.
From the 25th forward, you can find much to enjoy in personal interests, studies, short trips, and making contact with others. It’s a good time for relationships with siblings, classmates, and neighbors.
As you open your heart to new ideas and methods, you let in the positive vibes, and move just a little out of your comfort zone. The urge to break free from limiting conditions is intense now. You are looking to the future, not the past, and the desire to leap into new and unexplored territory is powerful. Your happiness goals fuel your independence. You’re arriving at a healthy balance between realism and spirit or independence. You’re keeping your feet on the ground while exploring your sense of freedom.
At the same time, strengthening energy is with you that helps you enhance friendships and love connections. Use extra boosts of energy and motivation to fix problems, work enthusiastically at your projects or current interests, and look for ways to clear up the clutter in your life. It’s an excellent time for love connections, flirtations, and fun messages with people you care about.

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 second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don’t suddenly change as 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, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
Learn all about the signs of the zodiac. We offer interpretations of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Ascendant in the signs:
