WEEK OF August 18 - 24, 2025
As much as you try to fight it, Libra, you may feel your social energy waning a bit as the week bodes on. But before you slip into solitary mode, enjoy the final stretch of Leo season’s lively pace. With the Sun still in your community-focused eleventh house until Friday, August 22, drop into group outings, catch-ups with friends and take any excuse to mingle. Feed your extroverted side before the cosmic energy shifts!
On Friday, the Sun slips into Virgo and your introspective twelfth house, beginning a four-week cycle of reflection, release and emotional restoration. One day later, on Saturday, August 23, a new moon in Virgo doubles down on this quieter energy, opening a fresh six-month chapter for spiritual growth and personal healing. This is the first in a rare back-to-back pair, with the next Virgo new moon on September 21 bringing a solar eclipse that could mark a profound turning point in how you process and let go.
Think of this as your annual spiritual housecleaning. Instead of sorting through closets, you’re clearing limiting beliefs, self-sabotaging habits and lingering emotional baggage. Some of this work may feel heavy at first, but the liberation on the other side will be worth it. If a relationship has been hanging by a thread out of loyalty rather than joy, this is your chance to release it—gently, but decisively.
Make space for solitude, meditation, journaling or any practice that lets you listen to your inner voice without distraction. Creativity also thrives here, especially when you’re in a calm, unhurried state. Capture the ideas and insights that surface, even if they seem fleeting at first—they could be seeds for your next big chapter. By the time the Sun enters Libra on September 22, you’ll be stepping into your birthday season lighter, clearer and ready to move forward without the weight of what no longer serves you.
Sunday’s square between the Virgo Sun and disruptive Uranus in your unbridled ninth house could jolt some buried feelings right to the surface. If someone pushes your buttons, resist the urge to either clam up or unleash your full truth in one unfiltered blast. Give yourself a beat to process, journal it out or unpack the event with a trusted friend. That way, you can respond from a grounded place instead of raw emotion. With a little self-regulation, you’ll be able to speak your piece without torching a bridge—and still honor the power of your words.
