ARIES HOROSCOPE for AUGUST 2025

ARIES/ARIES ASCENDANT

So the month begins with your ruler Mars in your practical 6^th house, exactly quintile healer Chiron in Aries.

To feel good about how energising it has been, to have Mars motivating your disciplined daily habits for the last 6 weeks. Getting your act together, for physical vitality & effective work ethic on the job has been such a turn on!

To optimise all the work you’ve been doing, with Chiron in your sign for the last several years, joined by caring Ceres recently-cultivating holistic, healthy wellbeing for yourself. The better to feel empowered, as a master/mistress of your own destiny-able to manifest your reality according to your ability to walk your talk, about your most emotionally intelligent  intentions in real, everyday life. Especially by the New Moon of August 23^rd, in your 6^th house-you will be more onto this than ever.

The better to appreciate the awesome potential of the big astro right now, Saturn conjunct Neptune in Aries:

With these guys in your soul sector in recent years-you’ve done the inner work to get your act together as a self aware, spiritual gangster. Aligned with whatever cosmic guidance feels most meaningful to you. And now you get to walk your talk about it, in terms of how you express yourself in the world. There is a theme here, about keeping it real huh?

I mean Saturn/Neptune in your sign is quite the paradox, to figure out.

Neptune wants to inspire your mystical vibe, swanning around as an ineffable, visionary genius-transcending ordinary, material concerns. And ok, lighting up your incandescent, glamorous charisma as well as genuinely remarkable creative talent. So ready to shine in the world, just because Aries magic is totally a thing!

Meanwhile Saturn wants you to be a pragmatic, sober realist, in order to be taken seriously in the world. Maybe all your hard won, internal self awareness brings gravitas, as a respectable figure, wielding a certain authority about whatever you are on about right now? You love this kind of recognition, which you totally deserve, of course. And obviously Saturn is on your case, about showing up with consistent, gritty personal discipline in this regard. Is so not the time for slacking off, right?

Because if you can integrate the seemingly very different imperatives, influencing you right now? The sacred & sublime can be expressed  in hardcore, realistic terms. Manifesting magic 101, to be the powerful force of nature that is your natural wont. You are so into this courage, to take full responsibility for your fabulous capacity to thrive like a success machine, this month. I love this for you!

Then we need to talk about your ruler Mars, into your 7^th, love/partner sector from August 7^th. To bring your sexy energy to relational dynamics for the rest of the month, as Mars activates Saturn/Neptune in your sign:

Suddenly Mars brings way more passionate attention, from your lover or partner already on the scene. Or if single/on the prowl-suddenly more likely to attract a smoking hot new attraction, into your orbit. Especially with Lilith in your 8^th house of sexy passion & emotional vulnerability, this could be hot & also scary! So you have to figure out how to respond:

As in Neptune wants you to embrace romantic bliss, just because the buzz of soulmate magic matters. Whether it turns out to be a batshit crazy crush or deeply meaningful connection-you’re up for the weird & wonderful ride.

And Saturn wants you to drill down on the proper rules of engagement, to do with quality of commitment going on. Where you get a bit hardcore about-it’s either real or it’s not! Whether enjoying next level commitment with someone special, or totally holding your own, if certain control freakery or slippery avoidant dynamics are being revealed? Saturn helps to keep it real.

And Mars also activates Uranus in your communication sector, Pluto in your social sector and Mercury, direct from August 12^th in your 5^th house of sweet romance & confident self expression. So you get a grip, about healthy, empowering relational dynamics in all areas of your life. A bit of radical honesty goes a long way here, to keep it exciting & authentic with one another. You love this!

Including the stunning Venus/Jupiter conjunction in your domestic sector, exact by August 12^th. Feeling the unconditional love with your family & tribe at home-is possibly the most beautiful sense of supportive, unconditional love, you get to enjoy this month.

Meanwhile the Full Moon of August 9^th in your social sector, with Pluto opposite Mercury, turning direct in your self expression sector. Brings your relationship skills up to speed, with good friends and networking/showing off your genius on the scene.
