Highlights of the week August 11 through 17, 2025 for Capricorn based on major astrological aspects.
Dear Capricorn,
This week, August 11–17, 2025, feels like a long-awaited exhale. The static in your conversations, the subtle misunderstandings, and the tech or logistical hiccups that have been tripping you up are about to fade into the background. On Monday, August 11, Mercury — planet of communication, thought, and connection — finally ends its three-week retrograde, restoring clarity and making it easier to get your message across.
This particular retrograde has been especially intense for you because since July 18, Mercury has been retracing its steps through Leo and your deeply charged 8th house — the zone of intimacy, shared resources, and the things often left unsaid. It’s been a time when trust issues, hidden dynamics, or emotional entanglements may have surfaced, and you might have found yourself playing detective, piecing together half-truths and subtle cues. Now, the fog begins to lift. Questions around jealousy, loyalty, or shared finances will start to find answers. And if an old flame or former partner has resurfaced recently, the coming days will make it crystal clear whether this is a chapter worth reopening — or one better closed for good.
August 12 is a golden day for partnerships of all kinds. Venus and Jupiter join forces in Cancer, your opposite sign, activating your 7th house of committed bonds, contracts, and one-on-one connections. This is a rare alignment that blends charm, generosity, and opportunity in relationships. For some Capricorns, it could bring a marriage proposal, a profitable contract, or a turning point that strengthens an existing union. Your partner or a key ally may offer emotional backing, resources, or fresh perspectives that open new doors for you. This is an excellent day for bridge-building — whether in romance, business, or friendship — and even a chance encounter could spark a long-term and mutually beneficial connection. Approach every interaction with openness and reciprocity; what you give from the heart is likely to be returned in kind.
By August 16, the Third Quarter Moon in Gemini touches your 6th house of work, routines, and well-being, hinting that quiet but meaningful changes are ready to unfold. You may realize that a repetitive task, schedule, or daily habit has run its course. A work assignment could wrap up unexpectedly, or you might suddenly feel the urge to simplify your obligations. The Moon in Gemini won’t shout — it will nudge you through subtle signs: a co-worker’s offhand comment, an unexpected pause in your calendar, or a wave of fatigue that tells you it’s time for a shift. Pay attention to these cues; they’re the whispers of your intuition pointing toward a healthier, more energizing rhythm. By clearing space now, you’ll create room for routines that breathe fresh life into your days.
