Horoscope For Today: Friday, August 8, 2025

Today is a balancing act for the zodiac signs!

The moon is in the sign of Aquarius, giving us a collective and logical approach to how we are feeling. When the moon forms an opposition to Mercury in fiery Leo, it can feel like our hearts and heads are at odds. It’s best for us to try to understand both sides of a situation before taking action, as we can’t make a fully informed decision otherwise. 

Check your signs below (Rising and Sun!) to see what today has in store for you!

Aries

It’s hard when your heart says one thing, but your mind says another, Aries. You desire to be close to your friendships and to be part of something bigger than yourself, but you struggle with the fear of losing your voice in the crowd. While pushing too hard in either direction won’t work, reminding yourself that you have close friends and loved ones who allow you to express yourself while still wanting to be close to you shows that this balance is possible—you don’t have to sacrifice your individuality or desire for community when both are within reach. 

Taurus

Allowing yourself to step into the spotlight and get what you deserve feels easier said than done, Taurus. You know what you deserve, but there’s a voice inside your head that tells you to hold back and not accept or ask for it. While wanting to be humble is understandable, that doesn’t mean you have to be self-deprecating. Let yourself be proud of who you are and what you’ve accomplished. 

Gemini

You have every right to want to explore, Gemini. It’s hard to admit when you want to see all the possibilities, especially when you feel guilty for wanting to leave your comfort zone and everything you know. However, exploring a new path is what helps you discover more about yourself. The process of trying new things and studying new concepts will likely be an uplifting and enriching experience for you, so be willing to trust yourself to make the leap. 

Cancer

It’s hard not to get caught up in what others want today, Cancer, especially when it comes to security and finances. You want to do what is best for others, but you also have to consider your own needs. It’s a lot of responsibility to carry, and your determination to do things right will guide you, but don’t neglect your personal needs in the process. 

Leo

It is best to turn your attention to the people you care about today, Leo. Tension between your needs and their needs could come to a head, and while it’s tempting to try to persuade and talk your way out of a situation, it would be best for you to try to see where they are coming from. It’s possible that you may need to find a better balance, but if you can be open to letting others share what’s bothering them, there are things you’ve likely overlooked without realizing it. 

Virgo

You need to create a new routine that doesn’t leave you feeling drained, Virgo. The pull between taking care of your physical and mental health is taxing, and today it feels heavier than usual. You know you are capable of taking on a lot, but you need to ensure you are taking care of your mind and body in the process.

Libra

Your perspective matters, too, Libra. Today, you may feel a tug between what others believe is right for you and what you believe is right for you. Of course, you care about what other people have to say, but ultimately the choices you make for your life are up to you—sometimes stepping away from the crowd helps you figure out who you are. 

Scorpio

You need time to decompress today, Scorpio, and you shouldn’t have to feel guilty about that. While there will always be demands on you and responsibilities that must be tended to, you also need time to rest and recharge. Don’t allow the fear of “not doing enough” convince you to neglect yourself—you are doing more than you give yourself credit for. 

Sagittarius

When you have opportunities to take a risk, it can still feel hard to know what to do, Sagittarius. You enjoy and adventure as much as the next person, but that doesn’t mean you want to abandon the life you’ve been building here. You have big dreams and goals, and truly, your support system is what will help get you there, so don’t assume that everything you dream of will be found elsewhere. 

Capricorn

You know what it means to take care of yourself, Capricorn. Trying to manage finances and make the right decisions to keep you and your loved ones protected can be a daunting task, and there is likely contention around what others feel you owe them. You know that focusing on your work and getting things done helps you to stay on track, but be mindful not to overwork yourself in the process. 

Aquarius

It’s okay to prioritize what’s best for you today, Aquarius. You want to be considerate of others in your life, but any step you take that focuses on your needs alone will likely be met with some level of tension. However, you deserve to pursue your passions and dreams as much as anyone else, even if others have trouble wrapping their head around it. 

Pisces

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health, Pisces—they are often connected. While it’s easy to explain when we physically need rest, giving our minds and hearts time to process and recover feels like something we are meant to “push through.” Today, allow yourself the time you need to reset, even if you feel judged for doing so. You’re the one who has to deal with the consequences if you keep pushing yourself beyond your limits.
