Weekly horoscopes are here for August 18 – 24, 2025, a powerful week for relationships as we enter Virgo season the same week we have one of two New Moons in the same sign. This New Moon will be the high point of the week, but on Monday August 18, we start the week with a great deal of communication now that Mercury is direct. The busiest day of the week astrologically is Friday, August 22. The Sun enters Virgo, signaling to us that now is the time to get organized, focused, and pay attention to our health and day-to-day activities. Virgo is all about service to others, so starting this week, we and others will be more drawn to practical ways of expressing love. For example, if a partner is tired and working late, we pick up dinner from their favorite restaurant and have everything ready when they arrive. It’s these types of actions that will mean a lot over the next month. Virgo is the last zodiac sign of summer, and the Sun will remain here until September 22.

As the Sun enters Virgo on Friday, it squares Uranus. This is a very unpredictable transit, and while you may approach things in a different way or even try something new, this can be disruptive of plans. In many cases, Uranus is about freedom, which could include freedom from a job, relationship, or anything else that seems repressive if it has outlived its time. This is perfect timing, because on Saturday, the New Moon in Virgo serves as a type of reset. While you might meet someone new, it would be totally unexpected. At best, this could be an exciting moon for some, encouraging doing things differently and enjoying new adventures. At worst, you could feel like you’re all over the place emotionally. While this can be nerve-wracking, remember to tap into Virgo’s grounded, focused qualities to make the most of this new beginning.

Each zodiac sign’s weekly horoscopes for August 18 – 24, 2025:

Aries, the week starts off with a great deal of communication with romantic partners or potential romantic partners. If there have been communication problems due to retrograde Mercury, it can all be corrected now.

The Moon enters your fifth house of love on August 20, so over the next few days, you may go out or get together with someone special.

Mars is in your seventh house of partnerships until September 22, so partners will be your focus for a few more weeks to come. This can deepen bonds, and if you’re single, draw others to you. Alternatively, Mars can stir up issues in whatever house it transits through, so you may need to exercise some patience and control.
