Maraschino’s August 2025 Horoscope
Words: Maraschino
Hello fellow kids and welcome to August 2025. There will be high notes and some wonky ones – but like my bud John Keats always says, “Uproar is your only music”, so, as my other occasional pal Henry Rollins would tell you: get in the van.
The charming, charismatic, and sexy Sun in Leo presides over the festivities for the first three weeks of the month, so I hope that you’ll use this time to find your light, love, fun, and creative outlets, despite the many horrors persisting.
On August 6th, Mars enters Libra in hot pursuit of justice, truth, fairness, and equality in all our dealings. With Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius as accomplices, we’re likely to get somewhere and it will no doubt be an interesting ride. Mars’ opposition with Saturn and Neptune on the 8th and 9th will test relationships - personal, professional, global - of all kinds, so do your best to prioritise diplomacy, try not to be passive aggressive, and avoid people altogether if you can’t do the first two.

Rise above
Hey Aries! August begins with the Sun in Leo in your fifth house, so hopefully you’ve been using this time to make art, love, and enjoy the sweet chaotic nectar of this season with reckless abandon and zero apologies.
On August 6th, your ruler Mars zips into Libra and your seventh house of partnerships, where it doesn’t thrive, but will present you with opportunities to refine your diplomacy and collaboration skills in your one-on-one connections. What I actually mean when I say this, is that tension and confusion will likely bubble up in your relationships during this transit, and especially so when Mars comes into an opposition with Saturn and Neptune in your sign on August 8th and 9th respectively.
Try to steer clear of drama if you can, and at least attempt to keep your side of the street clean. Also on August 9th, the brilliant full moon in Aquarius will light up your eleventh house, bringing your goals, friendships, and place in the cultural zeitgeist under review. This energy is good for networking or getting involved with communities that reflect your values, and consciously releasing the ones that don’t. August 11th brings a welcome shift, with Mercury stationing direct in your fifth house, and a kiss between Venus and Jupiter in your fourth- blessing your home, family matters, and emotional foundation with sweetness, luck, and light.

With Saturn in your sign also sextiling Uranus in Gemini in your third house, there’s support for integrating new ways of communicating that reflect your growth and authenticity. The Sun will enter Virgo and your sixth house on August 22nd, followed by a New Moon in Virgo on August 23rd. This is a great time to focus on structured, elegant resets in your routine, whether in work or health. With all the intensity swirling around at the moment, incorporating rituals and wellness practices that bolster your longevity and nervous system is always encouraged.

Don’t stop believin’.
