With this week’s sun and new moon illuminating Virgo, sensible sign of earthy efficiency, bingeing loses its allure and less starts looking a lot like more… Here’s your weekly horoscope from 18 to 24 August, 2025.
Aries, Mar 21–Apr 21
With Mercury in your zodiac house of self-expression and creative fun, the spotlight is yours this week to showcase a few entertaining power moves.

Gemini, May 22–Jun 22
New moons bring fresh-start energy, and Virgo season directs this week’s energy towards Gemini’s home zone, supporting streamlining, downsizing, decluttering and space clearing. Where to start?

Scorpio, Oct 24–Nov 22
As Virgo season energises your zodiac zone of social networks and group endeavours, this week you’re likely to benefit from a less black or white, all-or-nothing approach.

Sagittarius, Nov 23–Dec 21
It can be tempting to offer advice you think is helpful, but if your inner critic’s on overdrive, that might not be wise. This week recommends leaning into the art of thoughtful restraint, letting kindness and diplomacy guide your conversation. Say what needs to be said, try to listen without judgment.

Aquarius, Jan 21–Feb 19
Relationships require constant recalibrating. This week’s astral energetics suggest that if your intuition’s telling you something’s not right, or you don’t love what you’re getting, then check what you’re projecting. When you speak your piece, ask the tender questions and listen without pressing for an immediate answer.

Pisces, Feb 20–Mar 20
As personalities morph from forceful to critical, this week’s entry into your opposite and complementary sign on the astrowheel invites you to take some replenishing balance in the green world of nature: think restorative outdoor walks, bike rides, more time at the beach, in the pool or garden.
