Leo Horoscope August 2025
Turning Points
Communication planet Mercury turns direct in your star sign Leo on the 11th and this is significant for you. It’s been a crazily chaotic Mercury retrograde phase since Mercury slowed down on July 18th.
Leo is the star sign which rules your personal goals and aims, your image and profile. Therefore, the cosmic green light is turned firmly towards you, a time to speak up, put yourself first and get back on track with your personal projects.
Plus, the day after Mercury turns direct, there’s a glorious Venus-Jupiter conjunction in the home and family star sign Cancer on the 12th. These are the two best planets coming together and this only happens once a year.
Venus will remain in Cancer until the 25th but Jupiter is going to be in the most private sector of your horoscope for the next twelve months. Sometimes, there’s a theme of karma playing out when Jupiter’s here. Or you’re gifted via a benefactor or someone you know from your past.
This could be a creative time for you when you feel extra lucky. If so, trust your luck and be open to new opportunities and good fortune.
Leo Season
The Sun is in Leo up until the 22nd which means it’s your birthday month. Talk planet Mercury is in your star sign all month and the planet of relating Venus enters Leo on the 25th. Therefore, ensure you take centre stage and find your place to shine.
It’s a good month to show off your skills and talents, enjoy life and celebrate. You might be more than ready to have adventures and embrace new experiences. The Sun in your star sign can boost your confidence, also your energy levels.
Other people could be spurring you on to try something new. This is because innovative Uranus is in Gemini and your friendship and group sector and teams up with two key planets Saturn and Neptune in Aries and your travel and study sector on the 12th & 29th.
The outer planets are working together encouraging you to play big and look to the future. This is why you may want to try something new. Develop a positive attitude as much as possible and don’t let fear or doubt hold you back. Be around friends who help you believe anything’s possible.
The Full Moon in Aquarius on the 9th could be a pivotal date for you. This Full Moon cuts across the Leo-Aquarius axis of the zodiac putting you in the spotlight. The Sun is in your star sign Leo opposite the Moon in Aquarius and your relationship and partnership sector.
Full Moons often bring things to light. It’s the period in the month when the Moon is at its brightest, a time of inner clarity and intuition shining its light on your one-to-one relationships. You may be engaged in a huge passion. Or perhaps, the Full moon coincides with the completion of a partnership matter.
Plus, with Venus in your star sign Leo from the 25th onwards, you’re going to be popular so don’t let anyone or anything dim your light.
This is especially important on the 27th when Venus is opposed by Pluto in Aquarius and your relationship sector. One relationship or partnership could be coming to a close and you may be encouraged or advised to move on.
Virgo Season
Action planet Mars starts the month in Virgo and your personal money sector. It’s only here until the 6th. Yet, as Mars has been in this sector of your horoscope since June 17th, consider what you’ve been fighting for regarding money. Mars is a proactive force, dynamic and ambitious. In Virgo, it’s a positive time to pay attention to the details.
Plus, your ruler the Sun moves into Virgo on the 22nd followed by a New Moon here on the 23rd. This is an ideal time to focus on finances, keep your accounts up-to-date and do the right thing around money. You might be initiating a new money-making venture or be setting up a financial agreement.
However, wildcard Uranus is pulled into the New Moon picture and clashes with the Sun in Virgo on the 24th. Sometimes, this means that life steps in and brings the unexpected. Your situation could change and fast so don’t take money for granted and do ensure your finances are as safe and secure as possible. It’s not the time to take a wild risk.
Plus, next month is eclipse season and the spotlight’s on money, values and your worth. Get your financial ducks in a row sooner rather than later.
Making Connections
Action planet Mars leaves Virgo on the 6th and enters the sign of balance Libra. This is where Mars will remain until September 22nd leading the way into Libra season.
Libra is one of the air signs and this is great for communication and all things marketing, sales or gossipy. The air signs rule the networks so connect with other people, make new friends and reach out. Wherever you want to extend your social circle, use your voice, either personally or professionally.
This indicates there’s support in your community too, so be social and have a good network of friends around you. It’s not just about support and advice either, it’s about having fun as well.
Work your connections and create closeness in your personal relationships. Be around people who make you laugh and lift your spirits.
There will be times when you have to dig deep in your close relationships, especially with the person who plays devil’s advocate or the person who insists on arguing every point. Balance is needed in your close relationships, which may mean prioritising lightness in love and friendship.
