WEEK OF August 18 - 24, 2025
Itchy feet, Capricorn? Savor the last stretch of Leo season’s intensity until Friday, August 22, with the Sun still heating up your intimate eighth house. These final days are ideal for tying up financial loose ends, deepening a bond or finally finishing a transformative project you’ve been working on all summer. Wrap it up now because an entirely different kind of energy is about to take over.
On Friday, the Sun blazes into Virgo and your ninth house of travel, learning and adventure, where it will stay until September 22. Just one day later, on Saturday, August 23, a new moon in Virgo kicks off a fresh six-month cycle of expansion and exploration. And this is only part one! The second Virgo new moon arrives September 21 as a solar eclipse, which could open doors you didn’t even know existed.
If you’ve been craving a change of scenery, this is your green light to start planning. Book a trip, sign up for a course, or dive into an experience that shakes up your routine and broadens your worldview. Even if deadlines are keeping you tethered to your desk, you can still feed your adventurous side. Stream lectures from thought leaders, take a weekend workshop (especially if it’s outdoors!) or design and teach something of your own.
Travel under this influence can be especially soul-stirring, whether it’s a bucket-list destination, a reunion with an old friend or a romantic escape with your favorite plus-one. If you’re going solo, embrace the independence and the chance encounters that come with it. You could meet people who change your perspective in ways that stick. By the time the solar eclipse rolls around on September 21, you could find yourself not just dreaming about new horizons but actively walking toward them—with a bigger vision and a renewed sense of possibility guiding the way.
With the Sun powering through Virgo and your expansive ninth house, Capricorn, you’ll definitely feel eager to push boundaries and explore new territory. But Sunday’s square to disruptive Uranus in your detail-driven sixth house could pull your attention back to the nitty-gritty. It’s tempting to stay in visionary mode, yet you’ll eventually need a plan that’s workable and repeatable. Toggle between inspiration and practicality. Let your mind roam wide, then run your ideas through a reality filter. And if someone tugs at your sleeve for specifics while you’re still dreaming big, meet them with humor instead of frustration—you’ll keep both momentum and goodwill intact.
