Aries

August 2025

Aries is feeling a bit more adult than usual. That is due to Saturn now sitting in your very own sign. It is going to stay here through August and then slip back into Pisces. Remember that Neptune is here in Aries as well, so Aries is being bombarded with new energies. It is not surprising if you feel a bit uncertain or confused. Saturn wants down to earth reality but Neptune is all up in the clouds. But these two working together can help you make your dream come true. Pay special attention to what has been happening these last few months as beginning in 2026 these energies come back much stronger and if you pay attention now, you will be ready to make some changes next year.


Mercury begins August still retrograde but will turn direct on the 11th. So if possible wait to file paperwork and make major changes until after the 11th. August begins slow but will pick up speed after the 11th so just be patient. As this planet is in Leo and your fifth house, there could be an old love coming back around again. You are thinking about old decisions in your romantic life and seeing how they have played out. This is also going to be an especially creative period for you. So go back to projects you put aside and take another look. With the Sun here as well until the 23rd, you want romance and pleasurable activities. It is a good time to take a family vacation and hit the pause button for a bit.


Mars finishes up its visit through Virgo and will move into Libra and your seventh house on the 7th of August. There may be some disagreements between you and your partner. This placement can be a bit argumentative and fights can break out over nothing. But it is a good time for you and your partner to team up on some kind of project and join together to make it happen. If you are single, then you are going to be having a more active social life than usual. You want to treat yourself to something special. Maybe a lot of something special.


With both Venus and Jupiter sitting pretty in your fourth house of home and family. A good time to invite family over and have everyone getting along with each other. This is also a time when you want your home to be beautiful and welcoming, so there might be some spending happening here.
