Overview for this Month: Sagittarius (All)
August 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius:
August brings a special emphasis on learning, sharing, life experiences, and career or reputation for you, dear Sagittarius. Your larger focus is on the “big picture,” and you have a strong desire for experiences that transcend the ordinary. Whether they’re physical or mental, opportunities to satisfy this itch are emerging, but there can be some related delays to work around with Mercury retrograde until the 11th. Changes, backtracking, and obstacles tend to redirect you on a more appropriate path, so it’s mostly a matter of staying flexible.
The desire for a change of routine is strong this month, and it’s a great time to do things just a little differently for mental refreshment and a new perspective on your life. Investigation or seeking out hidden answers or resources can be successful. There can be warmth and excitement in an intimate relationship or with a passion project. There can be a buzz of excitement in your personal or professional life, and a bit of competition can motivate you to give a little more to what you’re doing.
With Mercury retrograde until the 11th, there can be some backtracking and delays that allow you to refine and improve your projects. Redoing things you previously thought were complete or returning to old material, or conversations and problems, can leave you feeling stuck at times, but you can still make some progress. Minor inconveniences aside, you’re getting to a much better place mentally. It’s a time for strengthening areas that need improvement. The temptation may be to release something or complete a project or study before it’s truly ready, but it’s essential to exercise patience – chances are that some refinements are still needed. As well, it’s better to wait for a time when people, in general, are more receptive.
Unresolved emotional matters and unacknowledged feelings emerge around the Full Moon on the 9th. You can experience an intense hunger to be understood, have your say, and express your ideas or point of view. It can be a time for recognition of recent ideas, projects, or learning endeavors, or for the fruition of learning or publishing projects. However, it’s best not to speak too soon on a matter. Observe, understand, and process for best results.
Indeed, discoveries related to ideas, learning, communications, transportation, and relatives can motivate you to make changes and improvements, particularly if you’ve been living with subpar conditions or problems in these areas for a while. The need to buckle down and deal with errands, appointments, or deadlines is a strong possibility if your mind has been elsewhere altogether.
From the 6th onward, Mars lends extra energy, courage, assertiveness, and fire to your sector of groups, friendships, and aspirations. A more active and lively social life is in your forecast. Instead, there’s now a particular focus on happiness goals and group or teamwork. You can now play a more vital role in others’ lives. Generally speaking, competitive energy with friends during this phase is the motivating kind — something inspires you through your friends or networks to take better charge of your life or work towards a special goal or dream. Life seems to roll along more smoothly with Mars now moving in harmony with your sign. Excitement about putting a dream into action or about new ventures begins to build. For some, romance is possible with a friend or through your networks.
You’re no longer tolerant of unsupportive relationships and superficial pastimes or hobbies this month. With humility and realism, the chances of success increase. New insights about yourself or a significant person in your life can be motivating and heartwarming this month. You may find it easier to open up about a passion of yours or about a matter that you’ve been keeping under wraps. It can be a time to consider accepting others’ help, sharing responsibilities, and combining resources or talents to advance your goals and benefit most from your experiences. Money or support may come through, or an open-hearted conversation that makes you feel quite wonderful takes place. Your people instincts are powerful, and you may find joy through an intimate moment or a moment of profound self-honesty.
From the 22nd forward, you’re in good shape for nurturing a long-term vision and for more thoroughly enjoying yourself, your career, or reputation. There can be a boost in popularity, or you may be feeling more confident or happier about where you’re headed. Making plans and setting goals is exciting now! With the Sun at the top of your solar chart, it’s wise to prioritize your work and goals. It can be helpful to identify areas of your life that require a change or a new approach instead of falling back on the same behaviors that keep frustrating patterns alive. The New Moon on the 23rd offers the chance for a fresh start regarding your life path, reputation, or status.
New worlds open to you as you open your mind to new ways of interacting and connecting. It’s a powerful time for romance, creativity, and interacting in inspired ways. You’re committed to making the most of your creativity and talents, and enjoying more self-discipline reflects well on you and your relationships as you feel stronger and more fulfilled. It’s a time to connect with both your practical side and your spirited, spontaneous nature.

Sagittarius (Born November 23 to December 2) AND Sagittarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Sagittarius:
August 2025 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 22nd:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don’t find ways to explore.
It’s an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective–a broader one–whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.
From August 22nd forward:
The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your “place” or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.
You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 25th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eighth house during this period. You are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships and social interactions now, rather than what you meet on the surface. Mysteries fascinate you and you could be looking for others’ motives for doing and saying what they do. It’s a good time to feel supported by others, whether it’s financially or emotionally. It’s also a strong cycle for discovering your own hidden talents as well as fascinating things about a partner.
From the 25th forward:
Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don’t seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn’t consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life–who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.
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 with bosses or in your career in general, as well as communications with a close partner, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. An argument over joint finances can also get you into hot water. Hold back. Because Virgo and Gemini are on the angles of your chart, you may be especially sensitive to all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues.
Occurring in your solar ninth house this time, extra care should be exercised regarding travel or education plans. Delays or complications are very possible in these areas. Go over applications carefully before submitting them and make sure you understand instructions clearly. Expressing your opinions now might come across in entirely the wrong way. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with professors and lawyers as well; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
From August 11th forward, information unclogs.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 6th:
Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.
This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.
From the 6th forward:
Mars is energizing your solar eleventh house now. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others’ toes.
As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

Sagittarius (Born December 3 to 12) and Sagittarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Sagittarius:
August 2025 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now.
A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don’t have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 8th:
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships–both social and romantic–define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It’s not about you right now–it’s about someone else close. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
From August 8th forward:
Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

From August 11th forward, information unclogs.
From August 20th forward:
Mercury continues to transit your solar ninth house. During this cycle, you are especially fond of exchanging ideas with others, particularly your personal philosophies. You are inclined to take a broader look at things now, rather than concentrate on the details. You are communicating with more persuasiveness, enthusiasm, and optimism at this time.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until August 22nd:

Sagittarius (Born December 13 to 21) and Sagittarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Sagittarius:
August 2025 Sagittarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 12th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other’s money, such as the resources of a partner, inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes.
You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more in touch with the deeper and even primal elements of your own personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.
From August 12th forward:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life.

The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 16th:
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships–both social and romantic–define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It’s not about you right now–it’s about someone else close. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
From August 17th forward:
Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
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 with bosses or in your career in general, as well as communications with a close partner, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. An argument over joint finances can also get you into hot water. Hold back. Because Virgo and Gemini are on the angles of your chart, you may be especially sensitive to all of the common Mercury Retrograde issues.
Occurring in your solar eighth house this time, extra care should be exercised regarding any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Delays are very possible when it comes to receiving support, loans, and taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality just for now, or approach these matters with more sensitivity if they can’t be left for a better time. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It’s best to budget rather than spend during this period, and in fact it’s an excellent period for review. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with financial officials and intimate partners; or take this time to re- examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
From August 11th forward, information unclogs, and these matters move forward.
Until the 27th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.
You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don’t verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.
From the 28th forward:
Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.
You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the “big picture” rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.
This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.
Overview Horoscope:
August 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius:
August brings a special emphasis on learning, sharing, life experiences, and career or reputation for you, dear Sagittarius. Your larger focus is on the “big picture,” and you have a strong desire for experiences that transcend the ordinary. Whether they’re physical or mental, opportunities to satisfy this itch are emerging, but there can be some related delays to work around with Mercury retrograde until the 11th. Changes, backtracking, and obstacles tend to redirect you on a more appropriate path, so it’s mostly a matter of staying flexible.
The desire for a change of routine is strong this month, and it’s a great time to do things just a little differently for mental refreshment and a new perspective on your life. Investigation or seeking out hidden answers or resources can be successful. There can be warmth and excitement in an intimate relationship or with a passion project. There can be a buzz of excitement in your personal or professional life, and a bit of competition can motivate you to give a little more to what you’re doing.
With Mercury retrograde until the 11th, there can be some backtracking and delays that allow you to refine and improve your projects. Redoing things you previously thought were complete or returning to old material, or conversations and problems, can leave you feeling stuck at times, but you can still make some progress. Minor inconveniences aside, you’re getting to a much better place mentally. It’s a time for strengthening areas that need improvement. The temptation may be to release something or complete a project or study before it’s truly ready, but it’s essential to exercise patience – chances are that some refinements are still needed. As well, it’s better to wait for a time when people, in general, are more receptive.
Unresolved emotional matters and unacknowledged feelings emerge around the Full Moon on the 9th. You can experience an intense hunger to be understood, have your say, and express your ideas or point of view. It can be a time for recognition of recent ideas, projects, or learning endeavors, or for the fruition of learning or publishing projects. However, it’s best not to speak too soon on a matter. Observe, understand, and process for best results.
Indeed, discoveries related to ideas, learning, communications, transportation, and relatives can motivate you to make changes and improvements, particularly if you’ve been living with subpar conditions or problems in these areas for a while. The need to buckle down and deal with errands, appointments, or deadlines is a strong possibility if your mind has been elsewhere altogether.
From the 6th onward, Mars lends extra energy, courage, assertiveness, and fire to your sector of groups, friendships, and aspirations. A more active and lively social life is in your forecast. Instead, there’s now a particular focus on happiness goals and group or teamwork. You can now play a more vital role in others’ lives. Generally speaking, competitive energy with friends during this phase is the motivating kind — something inspires you through your friends or networks to take better charge of your life or work towards a special goal or dream. Life seems to roll along more smoothly with Mars now moving in harmony with your sign. Excitement about putting a dream into action or about new ventures begins to build. For some, romance is possible with a friend or through your networks.
You’re no longer tolerant of unsupportive relationships and superficial pastimes or hobbies this month. With humility and realism, the chances of success increase. New insights about yourself or a significant person in your life can be motivating and heartwarming this month. You may find it easier to open up about a passion of yours or about a matter that you’ve been keeping under wraps. It can be a time to consider accepting others’ help, sharing responsibilities, and combining resources or talents to advance your goals and benefit most from your experiences. Money or support may come through, or an open-hearted conversation that makes you feel quite wonderful takes place. Your people instincts are powerful, and you may find joy through an intimate moment or a moment of profound self-honesty.
From the 22nd forward, you’re in good shape for nurturing a long-term vision and for more thoroughly enjoying yourself, your career, or reputation. There can be a boost in popularity, or you may be feeling more confident or happier about where you’re headed. Making plans and setting goals is exciting now! With the Sun at the top of your solar chart, it’s wise to prioritize your work and goals. It can be helpful to identify areas of your life that require a change or a new approach instead of falling back on the same behaviors that keep frustrating patterns alive. The New Moon on the 23rd offers the chance for a fresh start regarding your life path, reputation, or status.
New worlds open to you as you open your mind to new ways of interacting and connecting. It’s a powerful time for romance, creativity, and interacting in inspired ways. You’re committed to making the most of your creativity and talents, and enjoying more self-discipline reflects well on you and your relationships as you feel stronger and more fulfilled. It’s a time to connect with both your practical side and your spirited, spontaneous nature.

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 a 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 reveal 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.
