Sun Square Uranus
The beginning of the week highlights a square between the Sun in Virgo and Uranus in Gemini. A square is a 90-degree angle with a profound amount of energy moving through it. Squares heighten tension, and with that tension, they ask that we move, make a change, and act on what it is that is being illuminated from within. It’s an aspect with a profound amount of potential moving through it.
Our recent entry into Virgo brings refinement to our everyday rhythms and routines. There’s a sense of order, grounding, and structure. Uranus in Gemini brings constant change with flashes of inspiring yet disruptive ideas. As these two planets connect, the way we relate to order, structure, routine, and peace is restructured. Our belief systems and perspectives are stretched while more inspiration, excitement, and belief in what could be moves through our bodies.

As the heightened moment of the square begins to subside, we can still draw on it to ground us through our usual rhythms, routines, action taking, and everyday thinking even as we show up to the world in a new way. This square is a cosmic wake-up.
Venus Enters Leo
The following day welcomes Venus into Leo. Whereas Leo is fire, bold expression, and creative self-expression, Venus is beauty, connection, and self-worth. They each are magnetic and channel the heart. Together, these archetypes offer passionate love, playful creative expression, and a healing of our innate worthiness.
They teach us to embody our beauty, uniqueness, and magic that makes us who we are. To remember life as art. To recall what it feels like to authentically emanate our vibe as we move through the world. To step into our version of confidence and to heighten the need to express ourselves, to feel seen, and to be love.
Venus in Leo reminds us that we are love itself. We are created by love, animated with love, and sources of love. Love is not something we need to search for, seek to be worthy of, or find only in another. Love is our truth. Throughout this transit, which continues through September 19, 2025, we stand in our worth so that we can draw to us what—and who—are meant for us.
Uranus Sextile Neptune
Whenever two of our slower-moving, outermost planets form an exact aspect with one another, it’s a moment of tremendous change. It signals a larger reorganization of the tapestry that holds our collective existence together throughout time and space. This week meets one of those moments with a sextile between Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Aries on August 28, 2025.
The meeting of Uranus and Neptune hasn’t happened since the 1960s, yet it is the first of five taking place through 2027. Outer planet movements and aspects require vast time to be integrated. They offer the kind of change that, when we look back, reveals profound transformation that has taken place, especially in the spaces of creativity, innovation, imagination, identity, and spirituality.
Uranus and Neptune sextile signifies awakenings, heightened creative visions, and a liberation from old structures, both inner and outer. It blurs the line between science and spirituality and urges us to turn dreams into innovative action and to expand our identity to include a larger essence of truth beyond only this physical expression. It is a greater awakening to and realization of the self as a part of the collective—the cosmos, nature, humanity. It is a symbol of the larger collective change we find ourselves within.
Weekly Horoscope for August 24-30, 2025
Throughout the week’s many aspects is space to turn your awareness toward yourself. The way you see yourself. The way you relate to change. The way you celebrate your beauty. The way you express your love. The way you feel at one with larger forces in this Universe and beyond. The way you want to pursue the dreams that continue to whisper your name.
All of this wants to be updated. Not in the sense that you are becoming someone different. More in the sense that you are becoming even more of yourself so that you can hold more of your own love and creativity, weave more of your imaginations into form, and reach more into your sacred and spiritual nature.
Observe the way these vaster energies want to move through you. Where do they want to open you? Where do they want to show you more of yourself, more possibility, more magic? How are you feeling called to rewrite the script of who you are and what life is?
With all this opening, updating, and expansion moving through your being, the week invites you to remember the grounding medicine of the Sun in Virgo. This looks like simple acts of devotion to yourself. Routines and habits that nurture and bring you home to yourself. Your weekly horoscope explains. Read for your rising sign.
