Horoscope for the week August 11—17, 2025

This week, from August 11 to August 17, promises a dramatic shift in energy and direction.

August 11, 2025 marks the end of Mercury’s retrograde in Leo — a three-week cycle that may have felt like you were trying to speak through static or send messages in invisible ink. Picture Mercury as an actor stepping out from behind the curtain after an endless rehearsal, finally ready for the spotlight. We’re emerging from the fog of misunderstandings, second-guessing, and unspoken truths. Our words regain clarity, our ideas flow with confidence, and the conversations we’ve been avoiding can now happen openly and honestly.

Since July 18, the start of this retrograde cycle, some topics may have wandered aimlessly through the maze of our minds, refusing to settle into clear solutions. Now, those mental detours begin to straighten into direct paths. With Leo’s flair adding drama and sparkle to the moment, we’re reminded to speak from the heart, own our stories, and create without hesitation. It’s like taking your first deep breath after holding it far too long — we can step onto our personal stage knowing we’ll be heard, our message ringing out strong, certain, and free from the weight of past errors.

August 12, 2025 brings a softer but equally powerful influence as Venus and Jupiter unite in Cancer. This rare and harmonious conjunction wraps the day in warmth, care, and emotional abundance. It turns our focus toward home and family, the bonds that give us a sense of belonging, and the comforts that nourish our souls. Globally, it may spark movements aimed at protecting traditions, strengthening communities, and offering help to those who need it most.

Horoscope for the week August 4—10, 2025

>>

In personal life, it’s a golden window for harmony in relationships — whether deepening romantic bonds, mending friendships, or finding the perfect moment to make peace. It’s also an ideal time for improving your living space, settling housing matters, or starting a creative project tied to history, art, or culture. Under this influence, gentleness becomes a superpower. Small acts of kindness ripple outward, creating joy and a quiet, steady sense of abundance.

August 16, 2025 brings the Third Quarter Moon in Gemini, setting the stage for mental clarity and lightening the load in both thought and surroundings. This phase invites us to wrap up unfinished business — especially anything tied to communication: unanswered emails, pending negotiations, incomplete documents, or conversations we’ve been putting off.

The Moon in Gemini gets the mental wheels spinning, but because energy is beginning to wane, it’s not the time to launch new projects. Instead, it’s about sorting through what’s already on the table, deciding what’s worth keeping, and what can be let go. Plans may shift, agreements may be reworked, and unnecessary connections may quietly fall away. Honest conversations can help set new priorities.

By clearing out mental clutter and cutting the noise, we prepare ourselves to greet the upcoming New Moon with a mind that’s both sharp and light — ready for a fresh start.
