Monthly horoscope: Find out what August 2025 has in store for your zodiac sign
It’s August!
Resti Santiago a.k.a. Filipino Astrologer told PhilSTAR L!fe that the early part of the month “is influenced by a retrograde period, encouraging introspection.”
As August progresses, he noted that this effect will wane.
“The key is to look within and acknowledge your realizations,” he advised. “Use these insights to navigate any challenges that arise.”
According to the astrology expert, the most significant astrological event this August is the opposition between Mars and Saturn. “This aspect requires caution, especially when expressing your views on emotionally charged issues,” he continued. “It's also wise to avoid dangerous places and situations.”
Wondering how August could go for you? Here’s what the stars have in store for your zodiac sign in particular this month.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Breathe it in, breathe it out. Release doubts and embrace clarity in your life. You can't escape tough decisions, and this might be one of those times. Use the early retrograde period to look within, and you won't feel lost. If you find yourself struggling, don't hesitate to ask for help from a family member—they're just a phone call away.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
This can be a fun period if you reconnect with a distant relative or neighbor. It's a great time to appreciate those who are close to you. Trips will be enjoyable and can help you discover new things. Financial matters are looking up, but you'll benefit from learning additional money management skills.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
If you play your cards right, financial rewards are possible this month. Exert more effort in explaining your perspective, and more people will believe in you. Don't assume others will understand everything you say. Your social life might be limited, and sometimes, it's best not to take sides when friends are quarreling. If things work out well, don't be stingy with yourself. A trip or vacation will be well-deserved.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
This could be a profitable period for you. You're in a good position to attract new customers. Even a little marketing can 10x your sales this month! On the other hand, be careful with your words when dealing with bosses or elders in the family. You can still disagree with others, but always remain respectful. Your health should be good, just be sure to avoid too much sugar.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
You can be passionate about your pursuits, but ensure you don't step on other people's toes. Humility remains your lesson for the month. Finances will improve by mid-August. Love matters can reach a turning point, but only if you listen and act accordingly.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
You're lucky with friends this month, so make the most of it! Reconnect with old friends and spend time with those already in your circle. A love spark might even be ignited this month. Financial concerns may increase, but before you overreact, do a thorough accounting first—you might find the solution there.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
Take care of your body. Tension in your personal life can increase stress, affecting your health. Practice meditation or deep breathing regularly. If you feel constricted, focus on what you truly want, seek advice from a wise person, and do what aligns with your values. Your budget might also be constrained, so skip those expensive coffee breaks.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
Pressure may increase, but if you don't face issues squarely, they will only compound. Be sure to get enough sunlight to boost your vitality. If things worsen, see a doctor. On a brighter note, there's luck in expanding your mind or horizons. Reconnect with someone far away. If you feel lost, read a book and pray.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
You're luckier this month! If you need help from others, you can easily get their support—just ask for it. Even banks might be more accommodating. Just be sure to read the fine print of every agreement and keep your word. Friends might be troublesome now, so avoid fueling the fire. Your home life should be peaceful.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
Your reputation may take a hit if you don't keep your word. Protect your name at all costs. Be more cooperative in the workplace to prevent issues from escalating. There's good news in the love department—go out on a date and express your feelings. Financial deals need to be reviewed carefully.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Read your environment. If there are negative signs, don't push through with a trip. Be careful with your belongings. During meetings or presentations, watch the tone of your voice. It's okay to be enthusiastic about something, but toning it down can lessen the possibility of offending others. Take care of your health, especially your circulatory system.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
There's a saying that opportunities don't knock twice, but the good news is that they're knocking at your door now! Forming a great team is also possible, and they'll be more supportive of you. However, you must stick to your budget if you want to maintain peace. Don't think that getting another loan is the solution—it's all about maximizing what you already have. Be more creative!
