WEEK OF August 25 - 31, 2025
Heads up, Sag: You’re about to be in the spotlight! On Monday, August 25, Venus blazes out of your eighth house of shared resources and intimate connections and settles into Leo, energizing your ninth house of exploration, learning and blue-sky dreaming until September 19. This should feel like familiar turf to you because the ninth house is associated with your freewheeling sign. Over the next three-plus weeks, your appetite for adventure, visionary ideas and stimulating experiences will be high, and you’ll have no shortage of opportunities to act on those things. Whether you’re looking for a partner in crime or planning solo escapades that feed your soul, this cycle encourages curiosity, boldness and creative risk-taking. Travel, study, cultural events or just shaking up your usual routine can get the blood flowing now. Even routine interactions with friends or colleagues can bring inspiration or unexpected insights. The key is saying yes to experiences that expand your perspective, embracing spontaneity without overextending yourself and savoring the moments that feel like the most authentic expression of who you are.
But before Venus can find her flow in Leo and your frisky ninth house, she immediately connects with three outer planets, opening the week with love-meets-growth themes. Monday’s fire trine between Venus and Saturn in your fifth house of romance and self-expression encourages you to get intentional about passion. Playful banter can spark deeper conversations about what you truly want from love—and what you’re ready to give. Tuesday’s trine to Neptune, also in your fifth, adds a dreamy, heart-opening layer, dissolving defenses and unleashing a wave of emotional courage. A moment of vulnerability could feel electric, whether you’re deepening a bond or letting someone new past your walls. Then on Wednesday, Venus opposes Pluto in your third house of communication, pushing you to speak your truth while navigating power dynamics in dialogue. A conversation could reveal hidden desires—or expose where unspoken fears have been shaping the connection. This trio of aspects asks you to blend adventure with authenticity, passion with purpose. Venus’s tour through Leo reminds you that love isn’t just about the destination: It’s about the bold, soul-stretching conversations and experiences you’re willing to have along the way.Balance doesn’t always come easily for your extreme sign, but Sunday’s waxing quarter moon in Sagittarius encourages you to take stock of where you may have overextended yourself. If you’ve been waiting for an invitation to jump in, this is your cue to act and not stay parked on the sidelines. But before jumping into the game, take a minute to reflect on what may have been holding you back. Is it fear, self-doubt or a sense that you’re not ready for—or don’t deserve—the opportunity? Naming the block makes it easier to address it head-on. This is a perfect moment to unveil a project you’ve been quietly nurturing, launch an initiative or make a statement that highlights your skills. The energy supports recalibration, so if you’ve been carrying too much on your own and feeling frustrated or stretched thin, see what happens if you come out and ask for support. Professional barters, collaborations or leaning on trusted allies can make a big difference, even without added expense.
