Weekly Horoscope for August 10-16, 2025, Preview
August 10 | Moon Enters Pisces
August 11 | Mercury Direct in Leo; Saturn in Aries Sextile Uranus in Gemini
August 12 | Venus Conjunct Jupiter in Cancer; Moon Enters Aries
August 14 | Moon Enters Taurus
August 16 | Moon Enters Gemini
Mercury Direct
Retrograde since July 17, 2025, Mercury stations direct this week while in Leo, realigning heart with mind and bringing flow through our days and our lives.
Leo is a sign of courageous authenticity. It invites us to go through life guided by the full expression of our truth. While in retrograde, Mercury has been inviting us inward so that we can review the many ways we feel in alignment with Leo. It’s also been space to explore the many ways we may not feel safe, capable, or able to express the truth of ourselves. We have been sitting with how we have been taught to dim, hide, contort, and silence ourselves.
As Mercury emerges from the underworld of its retrograde on August 11, 2025, it returns with new perspectives. It brings medicine for us to walk forward with the fire of Leo aligned with the compass of our hearts. This is a time for expressing your creativity, claiming your voice, and celebrating your love with courage.
Saturn in Aries Sextile Uranus in Gemini
This year has seen the movement of two outer planets, Saturn and Uranus, into new signs, symbolizing a new long-term chapter collectively and individually. And on August 11, 2025, these two bodies form a sextile with one another, igniting and highlighting this chapter.
While Saturn and Uranus hold vastly different vibrations, the angle of a sextile promotes collaboration between the two planets. Saturn, currently retrograde in Aries, asks us to consider themes of self, identity, leadership, and legacy. Uranus in Gemini inspires quick and expansive thinking, perceiving, and communicating.
This sextile opens communication between these two facets of ourselves. It invites liberation, reclaimed trust in our own authority, and renewed permission to structure our lives around our own terms. It also disrupts old patterns, rewires stories of self-trust, and asks us to explore the inspirations and desires that we want to bring into the tangible.
Venus Conjunct Jupiter in Cancer
Another celebration-worthy cosmic event is the conjunction, or meeting, of Venus and Jupiter in Cancer on August 12, 2025.
Venus is beauty and love, receptivity and self-worth. Jupiter is abundance and growth, faith and optimism. Cancer, our first water sign of the zodiac, is the gift of belonging and inner safety, emotional and inner child awareness.
This conjunction brings us into a space of receptivity. It could be felt as life sharing—and us wanting—more love in all its forms. If we allow ourselves to remain open, this day supports healing, realization of our value, and a renewed relationship with our bodies, finances, emotions, and spirituality.
