August 2025 asks you to slow down and rethink your strategy, Capricorn. With Saturn retrograde and Pluto’s deep influence, this is your month to rebuild, reflect, and refine—before you rise. Here’s what’s in store for love, career, money, and more.
Love & Relationships: Getting Real About What Matters
This isn’t the month for surface-level connections, Capricorn. Pluto’s intense energy in your sign is pulling up old emotions—maybe something you’ve brushed aside or tried to ignore. Around August 4th and 17th, a partner (or someone from your past) might drop a truth bomb that forces you to rethink things. If you’re in a relationship, don’t shut down the conversation—lean into it. Vulnerability isn’t your usual style, but it could actually bring you closer.
Single? Nostalgia might hit hard mid-month, especially around August 17th. Before you slide into an ex’s DMs, ask yourself: Am I really missing them, or just missing the idea of them? The New Moon on August 24th is a fresh start—someone new could surprise you if you’re open to it.
Career: Time to Fix What’s Not Working
Saturn retrograde is like your cosmic editor—cutting the fluff and forcing you to refine your game plan. If you’ve been feeling stuck or frustrated at work, the Full Moon on August 9th could reveal why. Maybe a project isn’t panning out, or a colleague’s passive-aggressive comments are finally getting to you. Instead of bulldozing through, take a step back. Is there a smarter way to handle this?
Around August 19th, tensions at work might test your patience. Stay cool—your reputation matters more than winning an argument. If you’ve been considering a career pivot, August is for research, not rash moves. By month’s end, Mercury’s shift into Virgo (August 23rd) sharpens your focus, helping you spot overlooked opportunities.
Money: Check the Fine Print
The Aquarius Full Moon on August 9th lights up your finances, so expect some clarity—or a reality check. Maybe an expense you forgot about pops up, or you realize a side hustle isn’t paying off like you hoped. Time to adjust the budget.
Be extra careful around August 22nd when Mercury clashes with Jupiter. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Read contracts twice, and don’t let anyone pressure you into quick decisions. Slow, thoughtful moves will save you headaches later.
Health: Listen to Your Body
With Saturn retrograde, your usual endurance might dip. That nagging shoulder pain or sleepless nights? Your body’s telling you to slow down. This month, prioritize rest over grinding through fatigue. Try grounding practices—yoga, walking, or even just five minutes of deep breathing when stress kicks in.
The New Moon on August 24th is perfect for resetting habits. Swap late-night scrolling for a real wind-down routine. Small tweaks now mean more energy later.
