Highlights of the week August 4 through 10, 2025 for Capricorn based on major astrological aspects.
Dear Capricorn,
This week, August 4 to August 10, 2025, all eyes—and much of your energy—turn toward your career and public life. The cosmos is handing you a golden opportunity to make moves that will have a lasting impact on your professional trajectory.
On August 6, action-packed Mars shifts into overdrive as it enters Libra, activating your 10th house of success, reputation, and achievement. This is your natural territory, Capricorn—the arena where you thrive. Mars will remain in this house until September 22, encouraging you to think bigger, aim higher, and act with bold decisiveness.
Ask yourself: What goals or projects are truly lighting you up right now? Are you satisfied with where you are, or do you feel the pull to climb higher, explore a related field, or even make a daring shift into something completely new? Whatever your ambitions, Mars is here to fuel your drive and give you the courage to break ahead of the pack.
That said, with Mercury still retrograde until August 11, patience is your ally. Mars may tempt you to rush, but impulsive moves could backfire. Use this time to refine your strategies, strengthen your plans, and wait for the cosmic green light to charge forward. Mars energizes and motivates, but it doesn’t like to play by the rules—it’s easy to burn out if you push too hard. Pace yourself.
A Weekend of Tests, Tension, and a Turning Point
The second half of the week brings a mix of challenges and breakthroughs as Mars forms tense aspects with powerful outer planets. This energy may feel like a tug-of-war between your ambitions and the need to maintain your inner stability.
August 8: Mars opposes Saturn in your 6th house, highlighting a conflict between your relentless professional drive and your need for a solid personal foundation. If work has been draining your energy, this is your wake-up call to restore balance between your career and your well-being.
August 9: Mars opposes dreamy Neptune, also in your 6th house, blurring emotional and professional boundaries. You may feel compelled to take on more than you should—whether to help someone or to prove yourself. Be clear about where your responsibilities end, or risk draining yourself.
August 10: The tension eases. Mars forms a harmonious trine with transformative Pluto in your 2nd house of values and resources. This is a breakthrough moment that could bring a powerful opportunity to strengthen your financial stability. Strategic decisions made now can pay off in the long term.
The Full Moon Brings Financial Clarity
Meanwhile, August 9 brings a luminous event: the full moon in Aquarius, the only one of 2025. This moon shines a spotlight on your 2nd house of money, possessions, and self-worth, revealing truths about your financial standing and the value of your efforts. This is not just about numbers in your account—it’s about recognizing your worth and aligning your actions with it.
This full moon could mark a turning point: a financial boost, an important realization about your earning potential, or a shift in how you value yourself and your work. Over the next two weeks, expect opportunities to surface—a new job offer, a promising client, or well-deserved recognition for the effort you’ve been putting in over the last several months.
Capricorn, this week is a powerful mix of ambition, self-reflection, and breakthrough. Mars is giving you the fire to pursue your goals, while the full moon reminds you to honor your worth—not just in terms of finances, but in every aspect of your life. Move deliberately, act with purpose, and get ready to build something lasting.
