Your weekly horoscope is here. As the sun heads up its first full week of Virgo season, it’s worth remembering that each sign has one of three approaches to life. In the same way that Aries is “cardinal” (or initiates) and Taurus is “fixed” (provides stability, is immovable, resists change), well, Virgo is “mutable,” which means it’s a sign of adaptation. It likes to change and tweak and perfect. It takes the pure creative expression of Leo and refines it so it’s efficient, useful, or market-ready. The burden of spotting imperfection and seeing the potential is behind the criticism this sign is infamous for. So note what’s drawing your ire. And what you can practically do about it. Choose your battles. That one thing that grates your gears—how can you effect change in one simple way? Peaceful liberationist Mahatma Gandhi wrote, “As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him.” As a sign of health and hygiene, you could take this literally and watch your energetic and physical changes as you improve your diet and wellness regimen. Showtime continues as Venus heads into expressive Leo on Monday. Make grand style statements, take cues from your favorite love scene, and express your wild side in the realm of aesthetics.
Read on to discover what’s in store for your sign during the week of August 24–30, 2025.
Aries (March 21–April 19)
It may be Virgo season with an MO to get through work with an eye on wellness and self-care; however, Venus heads into party sign Leo, in your sphere of leisure on Monday, so all bets are off! Enjoy your free time with a focus on self-expression and bold, romantic plot lines. If you can combine work and play, even better. Bring your creative talents to your job and a sense of professional polish to your personal interests. The saying “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life” applies here. If someone tickles your fancy, then don’t be shy; perhaps they make a great muse, or maybe more. Let them know and see if they feel the same about you.
Taurus (April 20–May 20)
Your ruling planet is beauty-loving Venus, and this week she heads up your domestic sphere. From Monday through September 19, enjoy the pleasure principle at home. Add a dash of colour, hit the Pinterest boards, or throw a lavish soiree for your favourite friends who love to get loud. Follow your curiosity and head back in herstory to discover creative connections via your ancestry, since the planet of comms, Mercury, is also in your sphere of home and family lineage. If the records aren’t showing up, you can always do simple guided techniques that take you back step by step to get in touch with the energies of your ancestors, one generation at a time. It’s a very interesting and embodied exercise if you’re willing to try it with professional guidance.
Gemini (May 21–June 21)
From Monday the exhibitionism notches up as sensual Venus heads into extroverted Leo, lighting up your sphere of local connections. Enjoy social outings; draw together engaging people who like to create, have fun, and keep things light and bright. This is a particularly great match for you, so enjoy the entertainment side of this period. You’re particularly sparkling, and VIP events are well-suited, so get your look together and let others know you’re in the neighbourhood or room. If there are no hot tickets or invites in town, make your own buzz and invite your squad; bring the glamour to the community. Interview friends for your feed, try improv, or dial up your personality and make the first move to extend and connect your local circles.
Cancer (June 22–July 22)
If you have your eye on that big statement piece from Monday, it could be due to the Venus effect, as she’s activating your financial sphere through September 19. Venus is all about pleasure and beauty; this month she’s in luxe, bold Leo, hence sidestepping “demure” and heading straight for high-impact drama. If it doesn’t scream “I’ve arrived” or say something about who you are and your place in the world, is it even worth buying? This month the answer could be no; however, next month, once the influence has passed, you may be reflecting on your decisions from a more sober position. Take the middle road with a return policy, and enjoy the boost of confidence to make bold moves. Spending may be extra, but earning may be as well. Spin your creative or leadership side as a bankable asset.
Leo (July 23–August 22)
But wait, there’s more. Your solar season may have finished for 2025, but did you know Venus and Mercury keep pace with the Sun? They’re never far away, and this year, rather than tracking ahead or neck to neck, they’re trailing behind a little, which stretches out the Leo vibe. You’ve already enjoyed Mercury's extended tour d’Leo; she’s still in overtime due to that recent retrograde. Now Venus joins Mercury in Leo on Monday through September 19. Dial up your bold aesthetic, go for any and all glow-ups or love-ins, and enjoy the social side of life. Venus is the planet of love, beauty, what you find aesthetically pleasing, social, and enjoyable. Since attention, entertainment, bold romantic gestures, and self-expression are all on the list, why not start there?
Virgo (August 23–September 22)
This may be your birthday month, and you are absolutely primed to be upfront in all that you are and do; however, it’s also worth taking time out to enjoy your own company. The planet of pleasure, Venus, is trailing behind the sun in the previous sign of extroverted Leo, finding herself smack-bang in your sphere of dreams, solitude, and rest from Monday. Taking time out for yourself is the luxury you deserve, so don’t stand for anything less. Bring the principle of beauty to your inner sanctum—the bedroom, lounge, or wherever you prefer to enjoy your peace. Apply a creative flourish to this space and make it extra while the mood is here. Tune in to your creative muse and see what pours out in the form of artistic talent, whether writing, painting, or designing.
Libra (September 23–October 23)
As your ruling planet, Venus, slips into something more outrageous, it’s advantageous to step up your wattage in the wardrobe and social connectivity department. Since Libra is not one to shy away from stylish manoeuvres in the field of fashion, design, or people one should know, this is your chance to glow up socially. Enjoy the fun side of looking good and standing out in order to connect with a variety of people; attend events (preferably through the VIP entrance) and enjoy entertainment for the pleasure of it. Present company included—gather your faves, old and new. While Venus is hosted by live-out-loud Leo, the invitations roll in; accept them. Or even better, tap into your leadership side and take command. Creativity in a group setting? Yes!
Scorpio (October 24–November 21)
Since Leo “squares” your sign on the zodiac wheel, there’s always dynamic tension between you. The lion likes to prance around their gilded palace; you like the shadowy ambience of a badly lit bat cave—and that friction could be just what you need right now. Okay, so neither sign wants to change and prefers to hold fast to its own way of doing things, and there’s the rub. Venus, the planet signifying aesthetics, pleasure, and social style, is gracing your sphere of career and public presence, so notching up the extroversion pays off right now. For inspiration, ask, “What would a Leo do?” or envision a Leo type you admire, and your inner guidance will pop up with suggestions. You may meet a warm, generous Leonian through your work, so vive la différence. You both have plenty to share and teach each other while still remaining resolutely in your own comfort zones.
Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)
Venus heads into sister fire sign, Leo, from Monday, placing the pleasure principle in your sphere of international travel, education, and long-range connections. Music to your ears, you say? Well, Mercury is in this sector while the sun lights up your professional and public sphere, so you’re all about getting your creative leadership out there with an eye on detail. If you’re not at the departure gates just yet, it’s the perfect time to plan a worthy goal so you’re in a better position to make it a reality. Charm is on your side, and your style works right now. Add some DIY elements for extra color or invest in a colorful look that lifts your spirits and confidence when you wear it. Think big business, bold moves, and expanding your taste or horizons, perhaps through an area of entertainment, creativity, or aligning with a big persona that complements yours.
Capricorn (December 22–January 19)
Slide into those DMs as Venus saunters into your sphere of intimacy and benefits through others’ resources. This is a spectacular time to get up close and personal with someone you think is a little too hot to handle. As things heat up, turn the heat up more. Since the sign hosting Venus is proud yet party-loving Leo, it’s time to have some fun in areas that could otherwise seem serious or stiff. Let your hair down, bring a playful aspect to your private side, and improv. Secrets? There’s plenty to spill right now, so keep a clear boundary while building trust. Deeper psychological or hidden taboo topics society prefers to hide are definitely on the menu, so dramatic mysteries or true crime (but make it glamorous) are binge-worthy options for not-so-light entertainment. Perhaps choose your own adventure and find a mystery to solve. Yes, new investing options count.
Aquarius (January 20–February 18)
Venus joins Mercury in your opposite sign, Leo, from Monday, making partnerships and collaborations a source of pleasure. Of course, big personalities are par for the course when it comes to your one-to-ones, so notice who is loud, proud, and absolutely drawing your attention. This could be a bestie, new bestie, or bae. A colorful collaborator ready to roll? Absolutely. This is a fun and energetic influence, stimulating you to come out of whatever ivory tower you might be investing your mind in. Instead, get physical in the here and now. Ancient Greece and Rome (for all their faults) put a lot of faith in the life they were living, which is why they built beautiful spaces for the public rather than investing in a promised afterlife. Take that sensibility and apply it to your relationships. Guild them with gold, pave the roads, and fortify them so you’re well positioned to enjoy the best you both have to offer today and every day for many years to come.
Pisces (February 19–March 20)
Partnerships, if they’re one-to-one and equal, are where it’s at right now, and they’re linking marvelously to your work and wellness sphere. As Venus, the aesthetic, love, or pleasure principle sees you adoring your daily routines, your partner, or a dynamic duo—that is really where the magic is. It’s like a positive-feedback loop right now, so invite ideas. And remember, sometimes those who know a little rather than a lot can nail the simple and obvious with more ease. So diversify your influences and see what you can come up with. Leadership, color, and flair are all highlighted, as are ideas that are bolder than the rest. Not the wilting wallflowers or hiding in beige this month, not at all. It’s the leopard print of ideas, the sparkle that catches the eye, and the confidence to proclaim what you want, what you’re doing, and who you want to share the journey with.
