WEEK OF August 18 - 24, 2025
Even your modest, pragmatic sign can get unapologetically giddy as birthday season arrives—and this year’s kickoff is worth celebrating. On Friday, August 22, the Sun blazes into Virgo for four glorious weeks in your first house of identity, fresh starts and personal goals. Then, just one day later, on Saturday, August 23, a new moon in Virgo launches a rare back-to-back cycle of reinvention, with the next arriving September 21 as a solar eclipse that could accelerate changes you’ve only begun to imagine.
This is your cosmic “reset” button. The universe is asking: Where do you want to grow, and how do you want to show up? For you, playing big doesn’t mean chasing attention—it’s about standing fully in your element so the people and projects you care about benefit, too. Think of this as a full-system upgrade: clearing away outdated commitments, fine-tuning your habits and aligning your outer image with the person you’re becoming inside.
Start by clarifying your top priorities for the rest of the year. What would feel most satisfying to accomplish by December 31? Maybe it’s launching a creative venture, leveling up your professional skills or simply creating more time for the relationships that matter most. The more specific you are, the easier it will be to channel Virgo’s precision into concrete steps.
On a personal style level, your first house also rules your presentation to the world. If your wardrobe, haircut or online profiles no longer match how you feel on your best days, upgrade them so they reflect your current energy. This isn’t superficial—it’s signaling that you’re ready for the opportunities you’re calling in. By the time the Virgo solar eclipse zings in on September 21, you could be well on your way to a version of yourself that feels both more authentic and aligned with 2025 you. Consider this the opening scene of your next chapter—and make it a story you’re excited to tell.
A tricky choice could land in your lap on Sunday, Virgo, as the Sun in your sign clashes with unpredictable Uranus in your professional tenth house. Your craving for freedom may be high, but a sudden work-related twist could threaten to derail your plans. Even if you didn’t see it coming, your name—or reputation—may be tied to the outcome, making it wise to address the situation before it snowballs. If you’ve got tickets booked or people counting on you, explore compromises, like delegating tasks or troubleshooting remotely. Bottom line: Handling responsibilities with grace now could earn you goodwill you’ll appreciate when the tables are turned.
