Your lookahead horoscope: August 3, 2025

HOROSCOPES

You can sense that big events are heading your way and when they arrive you must be ready for them. Those events will be challenging but they will also bring opportunities to unleash your creative talents and make a hugely positive impact on the world.

Aries (March 21 – April 20):

When Mars moves into your opposite sign in midweek you may have to give up some of your independence and work as part of a team. That will mean making compromises, something you are not always good at but which is now essential.

Taurus (April 21 – May 21):

If you are inclined to do something out of the ordinary over the next few days you must make sure it is for a very good reason. If you cause mayhem just for the fun of it you will lose friends and also the backing of important people.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21):

The universe is about to send you an A-grade opportunity to improve your status and if you take advantage of it you will soon be moving up the ladder of success in leaps and bounds. Success is yours if you want it and, yes, you do deserve it.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23):

If you want the week ahead of you to be a productive one you must put aside past animosities and work with people whose values you don’t always agree with. It would also help if you were not quite so sensitive to criticism.

Leo (July 24 – Aug. 23):

The more you reach out to other people over the next few days the more likely it is you will find common ground that empowers you to make changes both at home and at work. Communication plus a spirit of compromise will get things done.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Make the most of Mars in your sign during the early part of the week to complete a task that should have been done by now. From Wednesday onwards there may be financial reasons why you are unable to press ahead, so get on with it.

Libra (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

Opportunities to move up in the world will come thick and fast when Mars moves into your sign in midweek, so get your act together and be ready to act swiftly and decisively when that moment arrives. The world is your oyster – so eat it!

Scorpio (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

You have been far too anxious of late about issues you cannot change, so stop worrying about the bad things that could happen in the future and build your own future with the decisions you take today. Most things are still within your power to control.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

Cosmic activity in the friendship area of your chart will make the coming week a fun time both for yourself and for those who are lucky enough to make your acquaintance. The warmth of your aura makes you the one everyone wants to get close to.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

It is often said that Capricorn is the most ambitious sign of the zodiac and when Mars moves into the career area of your chart in midweek that will be hard to deny. Your drive for success will bring rewards for yourself and for others too.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

If you want something enough over the coming week you will find a way to get it. Even if it is just out of reach at the moment the events of the next few days will bring it into your orbit. Don’t hesitate, grab it with both hands.

Pisces (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

An issue that has been nagging at the corners of your mind will emerge into the open over the next few days and that’s good because you won’t be able to move on until it has been dealt with. Put your can-do hat on and get it done.
