Daily Astrological Forecast, August 1–7, 2025
This morning, inner work can be key. After this, we can focus our vitality in diverse ways, like research, teaching, intimate connections, and bold action.
Moon in brave Scorpio combines with the assertive numerology of 1 to favor courageous action.
This lunar placement also favors inner work, abetted by Venus tensions which guide us to increase our love radiation. Venus in tender Cancer squares serious Saturn and mysterious Neptune, spurring us to see how the changes in our once-secure world connect with our values, desires, finances, and affectional nature. Another Venus aspect, a quincunx to transformative Pluto, strengthens us to break out of a rut in one or more of these areas. Creativity is fueled, we can generate beauty and joy in the midst of change, bring our own values to bear, and radiate love for our direction and ourselves.
The Venus influences blend nicely with Moon’s Second Quarter, exact at 5:41 am (8:41 ET) and inviting us to pause to review the intentions we set at last week’s New Moon, and reset for progress.
Early morning favors activities such as journaling, therapy, dream work, forgiveness, visualization and heart-centered meditation. Take a deep dive in alignment with today’s strong, positive potential and to avoid unnecessary blocks in emotions, interactions and finances.
At 10:25 am (1:25 pm ET), Moon’s trine to expansive Jupiter makes the rest of the day great for promoting something or inspiring others. With Moon in Scorpio, it spotlights connections for love, lust, abundance, transformation, or shaking free of an obsolete agreement or situation.
At 9-10 Scorpio, the Sabian symbol for today’s lunation says:
A FELLOWSHIP SUPPER REUNITES OLD COMRADES… The overtones of human relationships based on a community of work or experiences… the essential nature of the bond that unites individuals who have participated in some common activity. The social feeling of communion, plus all that it engenders, arises after the act performed together. Activity is at the root of consciousness. Activity in common generates social consciousness and cultural patterns which become set in the form of institutions. A group-personality emerges, which displays characteristic features and gives birth to collective emotions and values… Wherever the symbol appears, it suggests the importance of… strengthening links with those with whom one has shared, or can share, living experiences. The value of COMRADESHIP…
Affirmation: I give thanks for the positive changes I can see, and trust Spirit to complete them now.
Saturday, August 2
The stars continue to favor inner work and emotional healing. We can also make personal connections, though a stressful relationship may require work.
Venus is still in orb of yesterday’s tensions with outer planets, while Moon in Scorpio spotlights transformation through inner experience, determination, and looking beneath the surface.
Today’s numerology of 2, ruled by the Moon, makes us want to cuddle, and favors interaction with family and dear ones. Venus in quincunx to Moon’s ruler Pluto can make for passion or relational obsessions. If a relationship is stressful, today would fuel the need for resolution, as well as our nerve to take on the challenge. If this issue doesn’t currently apply, we can also declutter, research a possible move or life change, and do inner work.
At 6:07 pm (9:07 ET), Moon goes VOC on sextile to coruler hot Mars. We can enjoy a hot bath or a thriller.
At 11:00 pm (2:00 am ET), Moon enters optimistic Sag. If we’re up for it, inspirational reading, online activism, or spiritual activities go well.
Affirmation: Spirit loves to heal my emotions, body and relationships, and is working to do this now.
Sunday, August 3
The way opens to communicate, to connect and to move ahead.
Moon in enthusiastic Sagittarius makes wee-hour harmonies to constructive Saturn, dreamy Neptune and powerful Pluto, followed by a quincunx to Venus at 6:56 am (9:56 ET). We can reorganize, focus on our dreams and make connections to heal ourselves or others. We can also reach out to someone who could open an important door.
At 1:00 pm (4:00 ET) Moon in this sign of the broadcaster trines loquacious Mercury, great for teaching or sharing inspiration, and for communication of all kinds, including: going live on social networks, promotion, sales, and doing group prayer.
These expressive, sociable influences continue until late, when Moon trines Sun in warm Leo and a quincunx to Jupiter
Affirmation: The truth of this relationship is divine substance, and only good can come from it, now and always.
Monday, August 4
We can take care of business and other practical connections.
Moon in expansive Sag makes a wee-hour trine to Sun and a quincunx to Sag’s ruler, abundant Jupiter. In combination with today’s constructive numerology of 4, we can focus on the practical advantages of this lunar placement, and achieve success with things like:
- Working on trade, promotions, and correspondence
- Holding a business meeting
- Lending or borrowing money
- A legal matter
- Going back to school
- Taking or giving a class
- Something requiring diplomacy or negotiation
Affirmation: I can’t be brought down, Spirit holds me up in my divine place, now and always.
Tuesday, August 5
We can channel our restlessness into independent, practical activities. We can have a date night.
Moon in adventurous Sag squares hero Mars, fueling our nerve and—with today’s restless numerology of 5—our desire to do something bold. We can direct this energy in actions like: reaching out to Congress, promoting something online, or another at-a-distance independent activity that can help us finish something. Personal contacts are best left for another day.
At 10:04 am (1:04 ET), Moon enters responsible Capricorn, and continues to make energizing, potentially irritating tensions to rebel Uranus, strong Saturn, and spacy Neptune—aspects that are low on emotional intelligence but high on energy to make changes and dissolve obsolete structures and situations. We can direct our creativity and executive spirit in independent activities:
- Working overtime
- High finances
- Reorganizing a home-building project or an area of one’s life that’s become scattered or disrupted
- Setting down rules or guidelines
- Sacrificing fun and distraction to make headway
Tensions continue tonight, although there is also creativity and charisma with a potential for romance and lust, thanks to Moon’s opposition to magnetic Venus.
Affirmation: I am fully equipped for my divine opportunities, and I apply my talents, now and always.
Wednesday, August 6
Early this morning, we can make headway in business, work, and constructive goals and connections.
This is the last morning of Mars’ transit through diligent Virgo, a more supportive sign for the planet of action than Libra, which the warrior planet enters at 4:23 pm (7:23 ET). Mars is now activating the last, anaretic degree of Virgo, sharpening intuition. We can consult our guardian angel and spirit guides before taking action in any of the areas favored by Moon in Capricorn:
- Making practical headway
- Organizing our finances or another area of our lives that needs it
- Applying our leadership and executive qualities
- Activities relating to work or business
- A building or renovation project
- Helping an elder
- High finances
- Administration
- Requesting a promotion
- Inviting the boss to breakfast
- Acting responsibly
- Rising early to make an extra effort
- Working together in a team effort
- Applying for credit
Affirmation: Angels and Spirit Guides, please come close and direct my time, attention and energy in the best ways now.
Thursday, August 7
We’re on the portal of tomorrow’s Full Moon. Evening is good for connecting, research, and bold action.
For most of the day, Moon is VOC in Capricorn.
The VOC hours are good for decluttering and inner work, especially forgiveness, to get into sync with tonight’s lunar activation of the minor grand triangle. This is an historic configuration which is now perfecting. It adds cosmic power to our thoughts, words and communications. Mars newly in Libra, ruler of the also historic Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries, also comes on board. And, tonight’s Moon in Aquarius trines the brave planet, which opposes Saturn-Neptune, to turn the triangle into a kite and precipitate action.
We can try and use part or most of the VOC to get into top vibrational form through our preferred inner work before 6:18 pm (9:18 ET), when Moon enters Aquarius and proceeds to trigger the configuration described above, finishing her rounds at 10:23 pm (1:23 am ET) with a conjunction to intense Pluto!
During these evening hours, we can take assertive action to connect with like-minded friends, break out of a rut or an obsolete pattern, fight for a cause, close a cycle, or sow something to further social justice, creativity, independence, or our authentic individuality.
Affirmation: I am the active agent of my purpose, and I take responsibility for it, here and now.
But what’s next?!
