Your lookahead horoscope: August 24, 2025

HOROSCOPES

A sun-Uranus link on your birthday means you can expect a few surprises over the coming year. Some will be more welcome than others but all will make it easier for you to move up in the world. Fame and fortune are yours for the taking.

Aries (March 21 – April 20):

Don’t bother trying to hide your feelings because even if you keep your mouth shut your body language will speak volumes. If someone rubs you the wrong way – and they will – you may have no choice but to confront them.

Taurus (April 21 – May 21):

You will be unusually assertive over the next few days but don’t go too far. Some of your colleagues may see it as an insult if you attempt to tell them how to do their job. You would react like that too if the roles were reversed.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21):

The more you put yourself out for other people as the new week begins the more the universe will put itself out for you. That applies in all areas of your life but especially on the home front where a loved one clearly needs your assistance.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23):

You need a change in life and only you can make it happen. It may seem as if something is holding you back but more likely it is your own fear of failure that is making you overly cautious. If you don’t act now then when will you?

Leo (July 24 – Aug. 23):

You have the talent, the energy and the ambition to reach any goal but you must make sure it is a goal that is worthy of who you are. If you decide to put money first you may get rich but you won’t feel satisfied on a deeper level.

Virgo (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Ignore what other people say you should be doing and do only what feels right to you. The sun in your sign means you don’t need advice, not even from people you know you can trust. Instead, ask your inner voice to guide you.

Libra (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

Speak up and let loved ones know why you are less than happy with recent events. If you keep your feelings to yourself they will assume that everything is fine and carry on doing the things that annoy you. Don’t shout, but don’t stay silent either.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

The more you are challenged over the next few days the more you will enjoy it. Even if you find yourself up against an opponent who is bigger and stronger it won’t stop you giving it your very best shot – and that might be enough.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

The more reluctant partners and colleagues are to take risks the more determined you will be to push ahead with your plans even if you have to go it alone. You have no intention of settling for scraps – you want it all and you want it now!

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

You need to move beyond the boundaries that other people have set for you. So much is possible for you now but for some reason you have allowed friends and colleagues to persuade you to play safe. Where’s the fun in that?

Aquarius (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

Be careful that you don’t dress up your opinions as facts. A rival who is better informed about a specialized subject won’t hesitate to embarrass you if they get the chance, so make sure you know what you are talking about.

Pisces (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

Your self-belief will rise and fall but it won’t be hard to put on an act and give others the impression that your confidence is rock solid. Your lazy way of looking good will make it seem as if you don’t have a care in the world.
