WEEK OF August 18 - 24, 2025
Enjoy the final shimmer of Leo season’s relationship magic while you can, Aquarius. Until Friday, August 22, the Sun is still shining in your partnership-focused seventh house, making this a perfect workweek to connect, collaborate and enjoy some quality one-on-one time. Whether that’s a romantic date, a professional collab or simply showing up for someone who matters, don’t miss the opportunity to nurture your bonds.
On Friday, the Sun shifts into Virgo and your intimate eighth house, where it will stay until September 22. One day later, on Saturday, August 23, a new moon in Virgo deepens this focus, beginning a six-month cycle for transformation, trust and lasting commitments. This is the first of two Virgo new moons in a row, with the second arriving September 21 as a solar eclipse that could accelerate any changes you begin now.
Relationships may go through a few defining moments over the next few weeks, but that doesn’t have to spell drama. If you’re partnered, be honest about what’s working and what’s chafing. If the positives outweigh the challenges, consider constructive steps like a few sessions with a counselor, an open conversation about next steps or a symbolic move toward greater commitment. If you decide it’s time to part ways, try your very best to do it with clarity and compassion.
Single? Anchor into your values and get clear about what you truly want. Your egalitarian nature sees the good in everyone, but Virgo’s discerning energy asks you to also notice potential incompatibilities before you get too invested. This is about raising the bar—not in a perfectionist way, but in a manner that protects your time, energy and heart.
The eighth house also rules shared resources and deep transformation, making Virgo season a powerful period to merge finances, pool efforts for a business venture or clear out emotional baggage that’s kept you from trusting fully. By the time that September 21 solar eclipse arrives, you could find yourself in a connection—or a commitment to yourself—that feels unshakable.
Passions could run high on Sunday as the Virgo Sun clashes with your ruler, unpredictable Uranus, who recently relocated to Gemini and your romantic fifth house. You may be faced with a tough choice: Chase that “once in a lifetime” thrill or stay committed to a less-exciting option that promises longevity. If you’re tempted by someone exciting but clearly not long-term material, play the scenario forward in your mind before you leap IRL. How will you feel in ten days, ten weeks, ten months? Attached? Even a hint of straying could leave a fault line in your relationship that’s hard to repair. Decide what matters most to you now, and make choices you’ll still feel good about long after the heated moment has passed.
