GEMINI HOROSCOPE for AUGUST 2025

GEMINI/GEMINI ASCENDANT

So August promises to be wildly stimulating, to hopefully turn your brilliant, Mercurial genius on-for next level lust for life!

Firstly, how about radical Uranus fresh into Gemini since July- commencing several years in your sign. I bet you can feel a kinaesthetic, electrifying new energy coursing through you-that you just know is going to rock your world, one way or the other?

Maybe you are already loving this:

As in your natural, fascinating charisma is suddenly so exciting to everyone else, as you get to charge around being a mover & shaker in the world? With permission to express the many, kaleidoscopic aspects of your multi-faceted personality-so fabulously liberating! Because much more fun than pretending to be a normal, boring person just to fit in, right? Especially with Uranus trine Pluto, in your expansive 9^th house. So if any weird & wonderful, potentially transformative new life plans-way outside your comfort zone are turning you on right now? You are so up for the challenge-because the thrll of the unknown is such a siren song, to embrace the buzz of new experiences & full on personal growth.

Also maybe kind of discombobulated, with this kinetic energy shaking up your highly strung nervous system? I mean is a thing, to be overwhelmed by so many new radical new possibilities about your future-presenting themselves all at once. I get it. Is ok to take time for a bit of self care, to regulate your nerves as you go. I mean with Uranus in your sign for the next 8 years, plenty of time to navigate this new phase of exploring your full potential at your own pace, right?

Msanwhile your ruler Mercury, in your natural habitat, the 3^rd house of clever ideas and persuasive communication skills, is a thing right now:

As in Mercury retrograde since mid July, might have been cramping your style. With weird self doubt, interrogating whatever you’ve been on about and annoying, uncharacteristic awkwardness trying to express yourself about it. I mean for sure weird misunderstandings, with certain people & specific plans feeling wonky have been doing your head in, to some extent.

So hopefully with your innate, intellectual curiosity you have taken this as an opportunity to discover new perspectives-mental flexibility being a much more useful virtue than just being right all the time, in this case.

I mean as the ultimate trickster yourself, playing with weird ideas and convoluted conversations, that require tricky mental alacrity is your thing!

I mean especially the Full Moon of August 9^th with Pluto, in your 9^th house of expansive, visionary genius. With Pluto opposite Mercury, in storm phase of changing directions, from retro to direct. An exceptional moment of x-ray vision! Revealing any delusional thinking going on, but also certain beliefs & ideals, rising in your consciousness to be quite profound, actually? And revealing any hare brained schemes you are cooking up, that need to be finessed or ditched, and maybe some truly genius grand plans-that feel totally empowering!

So whether you’ve been irritated or having fun, with Mercury retrograde, or a bit of both? You’ll be happy to get on with it, as Mercury turns direct from August 12th,  in a sparkly conjunction with the Sun.

Maybe a sudden light bulb moment, clarifying a specific dilemma  you’ve been struggling with? Or general brain fog lifts, revealing your normal, dazzling mental acumen and a much more positive attitude to everything!

And certan dialogues suddenly makes sense, where everyone stops being so damned cryptic (including yourself, hmmm?), with a bit more generosity in terms of making the effort, to communicate effectively.

Which is especially lovely, with Venus joining Mercury, in your 3^rd house from August 26^th. To raise the frequency of your schemes & dreams, with creative intelligence. And bring your natural, glittery charm to your conversational skills-especially flirty wiles in your love life.

Meanwhile Mars in your 5^th house is such a turn on, right now. For courageous confidence, about expressing your creative talent in the world, with as much shameless self-promotion as necessary. And just have fun, with all the highly stimulating action going on this month. It really is your season, to feel fully alive!
