Highlights of the week August 11 through 17, 2025 for Virgo based on major astrological aspects.
Dear Virgo,
This week, August 11–17, 2025, brings a shift you’ve been waiting for — the end of Mercury’s retrograde on August 11. Since July 18, your ruling planet has been retracing its steps through your mysterious 12th house of the subconscious, spirituality, and hidden matters, turning life into a maze of half-truths, tangled situations, and shifting perceptions. At times, reality may have felt warped, as if you were walking through a hall of crooked mirrors where nothing looked quite the way it should. You may have spent these weeks cleaning up other people’s messes, smoothing over confusion, or trying to make sense of unclear motives and mixed messages.
Fortunately, the tide turns this Monday. Mercury stations direct, and what once felt like an impenetrable wall begins to reveal hidden doors — new pathways and opportunities that were invisible before. With the fog lifting, you’ll have the clarity and confidence to act. If you’re willing to embrace your freedom, explore beyond your comfort zone, and follow your curiosity, the days ahead could hold surprising breakthroughs, exciting discoveries, and a renewed sense of possibility.
August 12 brings a completely different flavor of energy as Venus and Jupiter unite in your 11th house of friendships, community, and future aspirations. This is a social and heartwarming influence that puts you in touch with supportive, inspiring people. Your natural charm and generosity will shine, drawing allies and collaborators who genuinely want to see you succeed. New acquaintances formed through shared interests could open doors to fresh opportunities, while existing friendships may deepen through joyful experiences or meaningful conversations. It’s a wonderful day for collaborative projects, creative ventures, and participating in events that connect you to something bigger than yourself. Just remember to balance your optimism with a realistic outlook — not every big idea will land exactly as envisioned, and that’s okay. The magic of the day lies in the sense of connection, inspiration, and belonging it brings.
By August 16, the Third Quarter Moon in Gemini turns your focus to your 10th house of career, public life, and long-term achievements. This is a time for evaluation and refinement — assessing your goals, adjusting your strategies, and deciding which professional paths are truly worth your time and energy. You might wrap up a project that has run its course or decide to step back from a role that no longer reflects your priorities. The Moon in Gemini speeds up the exchange of ideas and conversations, so discussions with superiors, clients, or professional contacts could help you clarify your direction. This is also a moment to release responsibilities or a public image that feels limiting, making space for new opportunities that align with who you are becoming. By clearing the old, you’ll step into the next phase of your career with both confidence and a sharper sense of purpose.
