Highlights of the week August 11 through 17, 2025 for Leo based on major astrological aspects.
Dear Leo,
This week, August 11–17, 2025, brings a turning point you’ve been waiting for — Mercury’s retrograde is finally coming to an end, and with it, the fog, friction, and constant backtracking of the past three weeks. Since July 18, Mercury, planet of communication and connection, has been retracing its steps through your sign, muting your voice and scattering your message. You may have felt like you were speaking, but no one was really hearing you — or worse, they were hearing something entirely different from what you meant. Misunderstandings may have snowballed into arguments, negotiations hit walls, and you might have been left questioning where you stood in certain relationships or professional alliances.
But that changes on Monday, August 11. Mercury stations direct, sweeping away the static and restoring the clarity and confidence you thrive on. Now you can speak without second-guessing yourself, pitch ideas without worrying about mixed signals, and share your truth without feeling the need to backtrack or apologize. This is your green light to push forward with projects, step back into the spotlight, and remind everyone why Leo season is your season. In short — the stage is yours, and the audience is ready.
On August 12, the energy turns inward as Venus and Jupiter meet in your 12th house, a deeply private and reflective part of your chart. This isn’t about grand entrances or bold gestures; instead, it’s a day for quiet magic — for finding inspiration in solitude, meditation, reading, or creative work that nourishes your spirit. Someone may enter your life now, offering comfort, support, or a new perspective in a tender moment. In your personal world, feelings that are best kept private for now — secret affections, quiet longings — may surface. This alignment also favors charitable acts, helping those in need, and reconnecting with your spiritual side. Protect your energy and give yourself permission to step back from the noise; harmony will come through stillness and self-care.
By August 16, the Third Quarter Moon in Gemini lights up your 11th house of friendships, networks, and long-term goals. This lunar phase invites a thoughtful review: which connections and collaborations truly inspire you, and which have run their course? You may decide to wrap up a group project, redefine your role within a team, or step away from social dynamics that no longer feel aligned. Conversations and the exchange of ideas will be especially telling now — you’ll know, often instinctively, what belongs in your future and what’s best left behind. A dream or ambition may shift into something more relevant and attainable, and that’s not a loss — it’s a recalibration. By letting go of outdated ties and unrealistic aims, you create space for new allies, fresh inspiration, and plans that resonate with the person you are now.
