Your daily horoscope: August 25, 2025

HOROSCOPES

The message of your birthday chart is that you must learn to love yourself more and stop being hyper-critical about your own efforts. The universe has placed you in precisely the right time and place to use your talents for the greater good.

Aries (March 21 – April 20):

As love planet Venus moves into the most energetic area of your chart today affairs of the heart will play an even bigger part in your life than normal. Once you discover how easy it is to turn on the charm there will be no stopping you!

Taurus (April 21 – May 21):

Cosmic activity in and around the domestic area of your chart means you need to pay a lot more attention to family dynamics. Find out what loved ones need from you then go all out to get it for them – assuming it will do them good, of course.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21):

Let other people take care of the serious stuff today while you get out and about and have as much fun as is humanly possible. Someone you meet on your travels will at the very least become a very good friend – and maybe something more!

Cancer (June 22 – July 23):

Information that comes your way over the next 24 hours will encourage you to believe there is money to be made from your artistic and creative talents. What do you do better than most other people? Focus on that and make it pay.

Leo (July 24 – Aug. 23):

There will be a number of challenging situations to deal with over the next few days but with values planet Venus moving into your sign you can easily find ways to turn those situations to your advantage. Above all, you must stay calm.

Virgo (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

The sun in your sign makes you determined to do something special with your life but the wider cosmic picture warns you must not be reckless. The goals you set yourself must be achievable, of course, but they must be ethical too.

Libra (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

Venus, your ruling planet, moves into the friendship area of your chart today, so even though you want to push on with your ambitions you must also make time for social activities. The way to get the best of both worlds is to plan well ahead.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

Life doesn’t have to be a battle, not even on the work front, so promise yourself as the new week begins that you won’t get dragged into fights and feuds that do no one any good. Laugh at other people’s tendency to overreact to events.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

You’re not in the mood for routine matters or taking care of details, so keep your distance from people you know will tie you down with petty nonsense. If you keep your eye on the bigger picture you will see all sorts of interesting connections.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

You have to accept that some people will find fault with everything you do, but you don’t have to put up with it. You can be pretty good at building emotional walls and that’s exactly what you must do over the next 24 hours.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

Values planet Venus moves into the partnership area of your chart today, making it easy for even the most restrained Aquarius to reach out and embrace the people they love. It’s safe to allow your affections to guide everything you do and say.

Pisces (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

A more relaxed approach to life is a must as the week begins. If you talk tough then friends and rivals alike will expect you to act tough as well and you know you don’t really want to. It can be a mistake to take life too seriously.
