CAPRICORN HOROSCOPE for AUGUST 2025

CAPRICORN/CAPRICORN ASCENDANT

So you are loving Mars into your natural habitat-the 10^th, brilliant career sector from August 7^th. Suddenly the confidence & fierce ambition you adore, to embrace maximum professional success. Such a buzz with Mars here for the next 6 weeks, to embrace your natural, success machine attitude.

Meanwhile, Mars into your 10^th this month activates a grand trine, with radical Uranus in your practical 6^th house and lucrative Pluto in your 2^nd house of personal prosperity. Such a planetary dream team, to come to terms with your fierce ambition-for next level opportunities to thrive!

Also, get ready to get out of your comfort zone about this:

I mean Pluto says yes, be money hungry by all means. Your reputation as a financial mogul is, do admit, more relevant than ever. If you were ever going to seize the chance to monetise all your hard work, it would totally be now. Especially the Full Moon of August 9^th, joining Pluto to trust your gut instincts about this. But Pluto does play high stakes-not so much comfortable material security, as genius, calculated risk on transformative ways to generate empowering, independent wealth.

And Uranus in your 6^th, shaking up the Capricorn work ethic. Suddenly a wildly innovative approach is required-much more promising than just banging away at some boring gig, just for the sake of status quo. So suddenly your superpower is being a change agent in the world, wowing everyone with your unique, stand out talent, maybe even taking a risk on an exciting career change or self employment/entrepreneurial scenario?

Which could totally surprise certain people, accustomed to your old, conservative reputation-as you are busy evolving at a thousand miles an hour, towards your full potential, that you are just realising your are capable of. This could be fun, right?

And ever the pragmatist-you are all over Mercury direct from August 12^th, in your 8^th house of financial entanglements. With your natural savvy, to advantageously nail any biz deals/negotiations going on. Genius!

Also the 8^th house is about sexy passion and vulnerable emotional intimacy, in your personal life. So to the extent Mercury retrograde here, since mid July has triggered any weird, tricky misunderstandings with certain loved ones? Navigating how to get along, even with all the loving warmth of the Sun in your 8^th, has kind of been a bitch? So thank goodness for Mercury direct from August 12^th, to finally get a handle on the kind of emotionally intelligent conversations required, to sort out any complex interpersonal dynamics.

Absolutely perfect timing, for the stunning conjunction of Venus & Jupiter in your 7^th, love/partner sector-exact by August 12^th. Such a divine combo of harmonious relational skills, sweet romance & emotional generosity for gorgeous, expansive growth with the connections that make you feel good! So your most positive relationships are so ready to thrive, from mid month.

Including if you have a special someone -more likely to love one another up, with open hearted, extravagant romantic confidence.

Or I mean if single/on the prowl, more likely to be lucky on the dating scene-maybe attract someone wildly promising, to have a good time exploring romantic potential with?

Also we need talk about your ruler Saturn conjunct Neptune, with caring Ceres & healer Chiron in your 4^th, home & family sector. Has you totally inspired, to create your ideal domestic sanctuary & bond with your tribe. Trying valiantly to nail down the rules of engagement at home and practical real estate decisions-even as certain loved ones or property scenarios could be vibing slippery as fuq, dammit? So is great to have Mercury direct, trine Saturn/Neptune. To make sense of even the most complex familial conversations, or clever strategies to finesse any real-estate/financial negotiations going on at home. Lucky you are such a family orientated, financially savvy creature-to be patient about getting this right, huh?

The better to sort out the domestic foundation that supports you-to launch an expansive phase of personal growth, with the New Moon of August 23^rd, in your visionary 9^th house.
