VIRGO HOROSCOPE for AUGUST 2025

VIRGO/VIRGO ASCENDANT

So what with Mars in Virgo, since mid June-a rush of raw, physical vitality & personal confidence has felt fabulously energising to be you, lately.

As in Mars in your sign has awakened next level, spunky desirability in love & professional realms and assertive confidence, about expressing yourself with sexy authenticity. To set the tone, for the rest of the month. Maybe surprising certain people-accustomed to a more demure, modest Virgo attitude?

Which I point out, as you are so ready to hit the ground running-with Mars into your 2^nd house of personal values & material prosperity, from August 7^th. Especially powerful, activating Pluto in your natural habitat-the practical  6^th house.

So if a fierce discipline lately has been turning you on, with productive daily habits-for an empowering fitness/dietary regime & efficient work ethic on the job? Getting your act together, to feel in control of your healthy wellbeing and professional success is your natural thing, of course. You totally adore this vibe!

So perfect timing, for the Full Moon of August 9^th, which is quite profound, actually, about your sense of purpose this month:

As this Moon joins Pluto in your practical 6^th house, in a grand trine with Mars in your 2^nd house of prosperity & Uranus in your 10^th, brilliant career sector. With such radical new notions revealing themselves, about your most weird & wonderful professional goals. You are next level motivated to bring a powerful work ethic, to realise your most meaningful sense of vocational satisfaction-and if you can make good coin as you go, all the better of course.

Then your ruler Mercury direct from August 12^th, joining the Sun in your soul sector is helpful. To suddenly feel more connected to whatever spiritual & creative imperatives are driving you from within. Because when you have a deep sense of what truly matters to you, is much easier to summon the courage to walk your talk about it in real life, right?

Meanwhile Mars into your 2^nd house, opposite Saturn & Neptune recently into your sexy 8^th house, trine Mercury turning direct in your soul sector. And Saturn/Neptune, conjunct in your 8^th can be a such a tricky vibe, dealing with the people you are most deeply entangled with:

Saturn insists on clear personal boundaries & clear rules of engagement, whilst Neptune is way more loose about entertaining batshit crazy love affairs/nebulous personal boundaries as well as inspiring the most magical/soulmate true love. So your natural wisdom to discern between sacred & profane entanglements, in all areas of life is suddenly your lowkey superpower!

Because the more you realise the loved ones who are truly precious, and adore you right back-get to figure out your capacity for real, sustainable commitment with one another.

I mean Mars in your 2^nd house is all about holding true to your own, innate values & self respect as you go. The better to keep those Virgo boundaries clear, if you happen to have any weirdos trying to fuq with your vibe? And even better, the courage to turn up with full integrity-for the mutually supportive connections going on. Including the courage to be passionate, if you have a sexy love affair going on-all the complex feelings & all, that could be so healing, in terms of vulnerable emotional intimacy.  

Then the Virgo New Moon of August 23^rd, in the powerful first degree of your sign, fully activates all the astro we’ve been talking about so far. To really get a handle on your own, personal power to be a creatrix of your own Destiny-the more you keep your visionary intentions crystal clear & walk your talk about it….luckily this is your core competency, right?
