LEO HOROSCOPE for AUGUST 2025

LEO/LEO ASCENDANT

So happy birthday season Leo-ready to have a good time showing off your genius & charm in the world, with clever Mercury in your sign this month. Yes indeed-this looks like fun!

Ok also meanwhile, the month begins with Mercury retrograde, conjunct your ruler the Sun in Leo. So even if a bit discombobulating, to feel uncharacteristically awkward about expressing yourself-is only temporary, for the first half of the month. And actually this is a valuable chance to re-think, and finesse whatever you’re on about right now.

The better to align your point of view with Venus, joining positive Jupiter in your 12^th, soul sector as August begins:

You are coming to terms with whatever you truly believe in, on a meaningful, spiritual level. And is ok to take a bit of time to express yourself about it, in a way that is inspiring to everyone else. The force is strong with the Leo charisma…just a bit more mystical & weirdly fascinating than usual.

Especially Mercury trine Saturn/Neptune square, in your visionary 9^th house this month. So what you are really wrangling is your most idealistic, meaningful belief systems. As you figure out how to align this wisdom with whatever fluxy state of mind is going on early August, in practical ways.

Which makes Mars into your 3^rd house, of ideas & communication from August 7^th so good. Because if you’re going to keep it real, interrogating your own philosophical belief systems until they make sense-might as well embrace the courage of your convictions, in terms of how you express yourself about it.

Especially as Mars charges into your 3^rd house, in a fabulous grand trine with sparky Uranus in your 11^th, social sector and sexy Pluto in your 7^th, love/partner sector:

You suddenly find yourself as quite the radical, charismatic voice on the scene. And beyond unleashing your usual bravado, as the most brilliant raconteur, lighting up the room-which you adore & is totally delightful as you entertain your tribe. You are acutely aware of being a voice of genuine truth, no matter how controversial, to stir up the rest of us in a positive way.

And especially by the Full Moon of August 9^th, in your 7^th house-suddenly certain passions & power trips are activated, with the people you most care about. And you realise you have the courage to talk about it-even if it means addressing tricky dialogues, that could become super volatile at warp speed! Still is better to clear the air, for authentic connection one way or the other, right?

Then you get to next level finesse all of this-clarifying your point of view and communication skills, with Mercury direct from August 12^th. For the second half of the month it all makes more sense-as your personal genius & persuasive charm align.

Especially with Mercury direct just in time, for Venus/Jupiter exactly conjunct by August 12^th, in your soul sector. So is all about your inner radiance, attuned to spiritual inspiration & self awareness, that has next level Leo charisma shining so bright!

Then the New Moon of August 23^rd, in your 2^nd house of material security. To focus all the schemes & dreams turning you on, with a tangible sense of being true to your core values-and maybe manifesting real prosperity about it?

Which is perfect timing for Venus into Leo, from August 26^th. So good, to swan around with next level gorgeous good looks, creative talent & sweet, romantic desirability:

Great to pick up on the magical manifesting vibes of the New Moon, what with being so talented & persuasive in your biz/financial scenarios.

Also Venus immediately opposite Pluto in your love sector, as she enters Leo, with the Moon joining Mars in your communication sector.

You get to bring your natural warmth & emotional intelligence, to even the most volatile relational dynamics going  on.

Whether ameliorating any latent power trips or capacity for powerful, mutual devotion, with all your loved ones. And maybe bringing your irresistible romantic wiles, to a hot-blooded love affair that is rocking your world? Certain, radically honest conversations could be so transformative & empowering-to move forward together.
