WEEK OF August 25 - 31, 2025
Get ready to unleash your famous mic drops, Gem. On Monday, August 25, Venus moves into Leo, stimulating your third house of dialogue, ideas and local connections until September 19. This buzzy cycle brings opportunities to smooth ruffled feathers, resolve long-standing misunderstandings and bring new inspiration to your creative projects. Your gift for considering multiple perspectives is accentuated now, and if you can keep your pride from steering the conversation, you’ll discover how much lighter it feels to release grudges and reclaim your energy. Being assertive doesn’t require you to convince people of something they’re only halfway into. True power is rooted in clarity, mutual respect and a commitment to making others feel valued, too. In the third house, Venus lights up your social scene, which should be buzzing with opportunities to meet fresh faces and spark new friendships. Stay open romantically since someone you once only saw platonically could suddenly reveal surprising chemistry.
But before Venus can fully settle into Leo and your conversational third house, she immediately engages with three heavyweight planets, turning simple dialogue into soul-shaping exchanges. Monday’s fire trine between Venus and Saturn in your collaborative eleventh house highlights the power of trusted circles. A casual chat with a friend or colleague could spark deeper bonds or inspire a plan that carries real staying power. By Tuesday, Venus trines Neptune in that same social zone, dissolving barriers and weaving in a touch of magic. Conversations may take on a serendipitous, almost mystical tone; someone’s words could feel like a message meant just for you. But midweek, Venus goes mano-a-mano with Pluto in your expansive ninth house. Here’s where things get provocative: An idea, belief or opinion could trigger a power play, forcing you to question how much influence others have on your worldview—and vice versa. This opposition may surface unspoken truths, pushing you to refine the balance between curiosity, conviction and compromise. This trio of aspects asks you to notice which connections nourish your growth and which ones drain your energy. Venus’s tour through Leo reminds you that the right words, spoken in the right company, can be revolutionary. For you, Gemini, love and trust deepen through conversation—and this week, dialogue could change the arc of your storyline.
Sunday’s quarter moon in Sagittarius illuminates your seventh house of partnership, nudging you to bridge the gap between desire and action. Words alone won’t cut it—your energy, your attention AND your behavior need to convey the message. If a connection feels too fraught, no amount of explaining will fix it; your best tack is to listen attentively. Ask questions aimed to clarify (not justify) and pay attention to the answers you tend to gloss over. For those already in a steady union, this is a weekend for the small conversations that often get buried under the deluge of SOS calls in daily life. A quiet dinner, dim lights, a drink that feels celebratory: These simple things create space for honesty and presence. Outside romance, collaborations—creative, professional or otherwise—can benefit from you whole-heartedly showing your commitment.
