Horoscope For Today: Friday, August 22, 2025

Today, August 22, 2025, the Moon will be in the sign of Leo early on and then will enter Virgo later in the day. As we enter this New Moon phase, we are discovering the areas of our life where we want to perfect just a bit. The energy now will echo the Mars in Virgo transit and now we have the opportunity to continue what we began during the Mars cycle or officially close it and start fresh. Be open to making edits, changes and revisions since this can feel a bit like Mercury retrograde. Nevertheless, it will help us prioritize what is meaningful for us and we will pour in the love and care these projects need. See how the energy will impact your Rising, Sun and Moon signs.
