Highlights of the week August 18 through 24, 2025 for Leo based on major astrological aspects.
Leo | Aug 18–24, 2025 — Savor the spotlight, then get financially fit
Birthday-season festivities may be winding down, but that’s no reason to dim the lights. With the Sun—your celestial ruler—still in Leo through Friday, you’ve got a few more days to bask in your own glow. Plan a farewell-to-summer dinner, give a passion project its final polish, or simply take stock of how far you’ve come since last year’s solar return. Let yourself enjoy it; you earned this shine.
Virgo pivot: money, security, values
On Friday, Aug 22, the Sun moves into Virgo and your second house of income, stability, and priorities, where it remains until Sept 22. The very next day, Saturday, Aug 23, the Virgo new moon kicks off a six-month cycle of financial and material growth. And this is only part one: on Sept 21, a second Virgo new moon arrives as a solar eclipse, signaling an even bigger shift in your money picture and what you truly value.
Before you sprint toward the “next big thing," shore up your base. Do you know your exact take-home pay after taxes and deductions? Which subscriptions, memberships, or small autopays are nibbling at your budget? A clear-eyed inventory now will make every decision easier later. This isn’t about cutting joy; it’s about spending in alignment with your values so treats feel intentional, not guilty.
Consider a few smart tune-ups:
Do a one-hour “money cleanup": list fixed costs, cancel what you don’t use, and set calendar reminders for renewals.
Move due dates where possible so bills cluster after payday (less mental overhead).
If you’re freelance or commission-based, review rates, tighten invoicing cadence, and put a gentle follow-up system in place.
Nudge up contributions to savings or a rainy-day fund—even 1–2% matters over time.
Think of Virgo season as the practical magic that lets your Leo dreams pay dividends. Systems and structure are how your confidence compounds.
What “aligned spending" looks like
If you love the occasional splurge, plan for it. Set a small line item for joy—concert tickets, a celebratory dinner, a piece that upgrades your daily life—and fund it on purpose. Meanwhile, invest in tools that actually support your work and wellbeing: a course that levels up your skill set, software that saves hours, or routine wellness you’ll keep using. When your money mirrors your priorities, you feel more grounded—and freer.
Sunday caution: Aug 24
On Sunday, Aug 24, the Sun in Virgo squares Uranus in Gemini, activating tensions between values (your second house) and group dynamics (your eleventh house of teams, friends, and networks). Someone in your circle may reveal themselves to be less reliable than you hoped, or a collaboration could feel wobbly. Resist snap judgments and public showdowns.
How to navigate:
Keep commitments realistic; don’t promise what your future self can’t deliver.
If a boundary’s been crossed, address it privately and directly—calm, specific, solution-oriented.
Press pause on big decisions until early next week, when the dust settles and facts are clearer.
Bottom line: Enjoy the last, golden days of your season, then let Virgo help you build the scaffolding that sustains your shine. Tighten the budget, clarify your values, and make money moves that reflect who you are now. By the Sept 21 eclipse, you’ll be glad you took the time to get your house—in every sense—in order.
