Overview for this Month: Libra (All)
August 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:
You are especially interested in collaborating, networking, or pursuing your happiness goals in August, dear Libra. While demands on your time can often be quite pleasant this month, you do need to pay particular attention to managing your time effectively with Mercury retrograde until the 11th. Delays and backtracking can be part of the picture.
Mars is in your sign from the 6th onward, bringing you more attention and encouraging you to listen to your desires. From the 11th forward, you’re likely to feel more “in the know” about what to expect (and what not to expect) from people around you. Feeling clearer about your goals can be satisfying. A stronger need to withdraw, heal, and catch your breath can emerge after the 22nd. This is a period for wrapping up your solar year and making the most of solitude, reflection, and private time.
Keeping some things to yourself while smiling for the camera seems to be what works for you until the 6th! You are likable on a professional or public level with Venus at the top of your solar chart until the 25th.. You are coming across a little mysteriously right now, even though you are very noticeable and making a mark, which adds to your appeal. Fortunately, you’re feeling positive and confident about your talents and your value to others.
While Mercury is still retrograde until the 11th, it’s especially favorable to look to the past, refine and edit projects, and rethink problems from a different perspective. It would help if you were more alert when dealing with friends, groups, business income, and dealings with business associates. Indeed, a partner or friend can give you important feedback, and you may be gathering valuable information from or through them now. It’s a powerful time for processing, reviewing, and rediscovering old interests, decisions, and ideas. A friend from the past may reappear in your life, or you could come to a new understanding of an old friendship.
The Full Moon on the 9th opens your heart to buried feelings and your eyes to situations that need your attention. There can be an epiphany or a breakthrough that motivates you to make changes. This can be a time for announcing or discovering love or a project close to your heart. Epiphanies can reveal your true feelings, and connecting with them can lead to significant personal decisions and choices. You might feel the need to get something off your chest, as unacknowledged feelings and needs surface. This is a time to do something playful, fun, self-expressive, and creative, even with tensions experienced between what you think you should be doing and what you feel.
From the 11th onward, it can feel great to lean on a friend or allow someone special to lean on you. You enjoy pushing yourself to explore and share more. Great debates and mind-opening experiences are closely tied to partnerships. Influences now bring wonderful surprises. The urge for adventure and new experiences, as well as interesting excursions and diverse topics and ideas, is strong. These pursuits can introduce you to new cultures, beliefs, personal interests, and feelings. Publishing and sharing can be exceptionally favorable. Relationship goals can inspire you to reach new heights, explore new places or ideas, or learn new skills. Personal opportunities can arise through group activities or friends of friends who find you particularly impressive.
In your sign from the 6th onward, Mars brings its qualities of fiery assertiveness, courage, initiative, and energy to your personality. You are motivated and energetic during this cycle, sometimes to the point of excess, and it’s a good idea to take special care to manage your energy well. Pace yourself, but take action on the things that matter most to you. This is a time of increased independence and initiative.
You can sometimes feel torn between partnering and life path goals, which can clash at times in August. However, you might also recognize that you’re growing through more responsibility or maturity in your relationships.
From the 22nd forward, you seek more time for yourself or, at the least, out of the fast lane! But while your yearly call to rest, replenishment and reflection is important, you’re likely to keep your engines revving in many ways with Mars, the planet of assertion and action, energizing your sign until September 22nd. You’ll do some juggling, but it’s all quite manageable and motivating–perhaps even balanced.
The New Moon on the 23rd challenges you to start fresh with your attitude toward downtime, rest, recuperation, and attention to emotional or mental health. Watch, however, for the traps of escapism and avoidance, which can lead to difficulties relaxing, unwinding, and perhaps sleeping, or a general sense that you’re behind or out of the loop. Uranus in your solar ninth house contributes to a desire to expand, grow, learn, and connect, but while these urges are important, they stand in contrast to the quieter, healing activities you seek. In truth, there can be an inner conflict between seeking out new experiences and getting time to process recent ones. Finding a way to balance all that you want to do and what you feel you should do for better physical and mental health can be difficult, but it is what you need at the moment! It makes sense to confront aspects of yourself or past choices that might be blocking your current success.
From the 25th onward, you’ll find more pleasure and pleasantness in your interactions with friends and on special projects. Your happiness goals move up on your list, and it’s a good time to ask yourself how to improve your social life.

Libra (Born September 24 to October 3) and Libra Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Libra:
August 2025 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 22nd:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.
You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.
From August 22nd forward:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have–to things, people, and routines–and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It’s not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it’s a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 25th:
Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It’s a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It’s a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.
From the 25th forward:
Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
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 communications involving legal affairs, travel, and education, as well as communications about the past, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. With Virgo ruling your twelfth house sector, somebody might be deceiving you or working against you, or nagging issues from the past may crop up and demand attention. Put off making solid travel plans if possible.
Occurring in your solar eleventh house this time, extra care should be used when communicating with friends. You may find that communications with friends or with groups can easily become sticky during this cycle. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may be uncommunicative or giving off mixed signals. On the other hand, old acquaintances may appear during this cycle, or you could be thinking about contacting an old friend. This may be a good time to do so. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with friends and associates during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.
From August 11th forward, information unclogs.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 6th:
Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house now. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs.
This lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.
From the 6th forward:
You are able to stand your ground and assert yourself more than usual during this transit of Mars through your solar first house. You have energy at your disposal to move your plans forward, and you are more enterprising. You want to leave your mark on the world in some way–however big or small–and you are more able to make an impression than usual. If circumstances are such, you are able to easily fight back. In fact, you may be somewhat combative under this influence, and you may have a short temper.
Avoid being pushy. Take charge of your life, but don’t bulldoze over others in the process! This is an excellent transit for assertiveness and physical vitality. Love affairs may also be stepped up during this period. On the rare occasion when an accident occurs, it is more likely to involve the head or face.

Libra (Born October 4 to 13) and Libra Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Libra:
August 2025 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun lights your solar eleventh house. The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true this month. It’s a sociable sector of your chart, and that’s exactly how you are feeling–happy, light-hearted, cosmopolitan, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off, or at least satisfies. Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time.
This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you’re attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children (especially others’ children) may increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 8th:
Venus continues to grace your solar ninth house. During this cycle, your ideals in love are set high. You might become inspired by a loved one now, or someone might awaken a new perspective or way of thinking in you. You could also enjoy a trip, or a new adventure of sorts. In fact, you are attracted to anything that is non-routine and fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds. You might be attracted to people or even objects that are exotic or different in some way during this cycle. It’s a good period for personal charm and attractiveness in general.
From August 8th forward:
Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

From August 11th forward, information unclogs.
From August 20th forward:
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.
Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it’s a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.

August 2025 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 12th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar tenth house. Satisfaction and fulfillment during this cycle come from doing your professional best, shining as a responsible and capable person, and contributing to the world in practical ways. You might have a chance to receive acknowledgement or praise for your work or good character now. Landing support from authority figures is easier at this time. Avoid the pitfalls of pride or arrogance standing in your way of success.
From August 12th forward:

Occurring in your solar tenth house this time, extra care should be exercised when communicating with the public, superiors, and co-workers. You may find that communications with bosses and co-workers, and concerning professional matters in general, can be tricky during this cycle. Strive to be as clear as possible so that you are not misunderstood when dealing with the public. Put off making definite career decisions as much as possible for the time being. You may be re-thinking matters regarding your life path, which is a good idea, but it’s best to think rather than act for now, as your judgment may be compromised. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with authority figures during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.
From August 11th forward, information unclogs, and these matters move forward.
Until the 27th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar tenth house. Career matters are busy at this time, and there can be plenty of thoughts and/or conversations about your profession, your reputation, or your social standing during this cycle. It’s a good time to analyze your work tasks and to streamline them or improve your skills. There may be increased contact with the public now, or you might experience an increased need to be heard and acknowledged for your intelligence, skills, capabilities, and ideas.
From the 28th forward:
Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit–you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts.
As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house now. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs.
This lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.
Overview Horoscope:
August 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:
You are especially interested in collaborating, networking, or pursuing your happiness goals in August, dear Libra. While demands on your time can often be quite pleasant this month, you do need to pay particular attention to managing your time effectively with Mercury retrograde until the 11th. Delays and backtracking can be part of the picture.
Mars is in your sign from the 6th onward, bringing you more attention and encouraging you to listen to your desires. From the 11th forward, you’re likely to feel more “in the know” about what to expect (and what not to expect) from people around you. Feeling clearer about your goals can be satisfying. A stronger need to withdraw, heal, and catch your breath can emerge after the 22nd. This is a period for wrapping up your solar year and making the most of solitude, reflection, and private time.
Keeping some things to yourself while smiling for the camera seems to be what works for you until the 6th! You are likable on a professional or public level with Venus at the top of your solar chart until the 25th.. You are coming across a little mysteriously right now, even though you are very noticeable and making a mark, which adds to your appeal. Fortunately, you’re feeling positive and confident about your talents and your value to others.
While Mercury is still retrograde until the 11th, it’s especially favorable to look to the past, refine and edit projects, and rethink problems from a different perspective. It would help if you were more alert when dealing with friends, groups, business income, and dealings with business associates. Indeed, a partner or friend can give you important feedback, and you may be gathering valuable information from or through them now. It’s a powerful time for processing, reviewing, and rediscovering old interests, decisions, and ideas. A friend from the past may reappear in your life, or you could come to a new understanding of an old friendship.
The Full Moon on the 9th opens your heart to buried feelings and your eyes to situations that need your attention. There can be an epiphany or a breakthrough that motivates you to make changes. This can be a time for announcing or discovering love or a project close to your heart. Epiphanies can reveal your true feelings, and connecting with them can lead to significant personal decisions and choices. You might feel the need to get something off your chest, as unacknowledged feelings and needs surface. This is a time to do something playful, fun, self-expressive, and creative, even with tensions experienced between what you think you should be doing and what you feel.
From the 11th onward, it can feel great to lean on a friend or allow someone special to lean on you. You enjoy pushing yourself to explore and share more. Great debates and mind-opening experiences are closely tied to partnerships. Influences now bring wonderful surprises. The urge for adventure and new experiences, as well as interesting excursions and diverse topics and ideas, is strong. These pursuits can introduce you to new cultures, beliefs, personal interests, and feelings. Publishing and sharing can be exceptionally favorable. Relationship goals can inspire you to reach new heights, explore new places or ideas, or learn new skills. Personal opportunities can arise through group activities or friends of friends who find you particularly impressive.
In your sign from the 6th onward, Mars brings its qualities of fiery assertiveness, courage, initiative, and energy to your personality. You are motivated and energetic during this cycle, sometimes to the point of excess, and it’s a good idea to take special care to manage your energy well. Pace yourself, but take action on the things that matter most to you. This is a time of increased independence and initiative.
You can sometimes feel torn between partnering and life path goals, which can clash at times in August. However, you might also recognize that you’re growing through more responsibility or maturity in your relationships.
From the 22nd forward, you seek more time for yourself or, at the least, out of the fast lane! But while your yearly call to rest, replenishment and reflection is important, you’re likely to keep your engines revving in many ways with Mars, the planet of assertion and action, energizing your sign until September 22nd. You’ll do some juggling, but it’s all quite manageable and motivating–perhaps even balanced.
The New Moon on the 23rd challenges you to start fresh with your attitude toward downtime, rest, recuperation, and attention to emotional or mental health. Watch, however, for the traps of escapism and avoidance, which can lead to difficulties relaxing, unwinding, and perhaps sleeping, or a general sense that you’re behind or out of the loop. Uranus in your solar ninth house contributes to a desire to expand, grow, learn, and connect, but while these urges are important, they stand in contrast to the quieter, healing activities you seek. In truth, there can be an inner conflict between seeking out new experiences and getting time to process recent ones. Finding a way to balance all that you want to do and what you feel you should do for better physical and mental health can be difficult, but it is what you need at the moment! It makes sense to confront aspects of yourself or past choices that might be blocking your current success.
From the 25th onward, you’ll find more pleasure and pleasantness in your interactions with friends and on special projects. Your happiness goals move up on your list, and it’s a good time to ask yourself how to improve your social life.

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. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because 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 (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
