Horoscope For Today: Wednesday, August 20, 2025

Hello, friends, and happy Wednesday! I’m going to level with you right out the gate–it is NOT a day of trying to force things, making big decisions, or getting fixated on productivity. While a connection between the Moon and Venus in Cancer early on in the day kicks things off with some gentle inspiration and creativity, the Moon will be void of course for most of the day after that as it finishes its journey through Cancer. In astrology, when the Moon is void of course it indicates a period of time that lacks direction and focus, and can manifest as a portion of the day (or sometimes days!) where efforts tend to fizzle out and not produce results. Endeavors pursued under a void moon tend to not come to fruition or bear good results. In other words, it presents an ideal time to let yourself relax, prioritize rest, and not put too much pressure on yourself to do it all!

The good news is that later on in the evening, as the moon shifts into Leo, this period ends and we may find ourselves getting a second wind, whether that presents as creative inspiration or the desire to have a night out. The key today is to just let yourself be, and remember that sometimes just existing is enough. Let yourself have the rest you need today, even if you feel that to do list and those emails piling up. When we try to force ourselves through those things the results aren’t always the best! By waiting and giving ourselves what we need we stand to approach those tasks feeling recharged, refreshed, and ready! Read on ahead to find out exactly how today’s astrology is affecting your sign and don’t forget to check your sun and rising signs!

Aries

Aries, give yourself the lazy, stay-at-home, self-care day you need and deserve today. If you’re finding yourself struggling with motivation, just embrace it. You may find yourself getting a second wind a little later in the evening. Follow whatever it is you feel called to indulge yourself with, whether it’s following a gust of creativity, getting your favorite take-out and watching your favorite movie, or even getting yourself around to get out and have a fun, flirty night!

Taurus

I’ve got great news for you, Taurus–it’s a day of moving at no one’s pace but your own. You may find yourself starting off the day with a bit of inspiration, but don’t push it or be too hard on yourself if you feel like your efforts aren’t producing the productivity you desired. Those texts and emails can wait until tomorrow! If you find yourself needing a recharge, give yourself a nice cozy night in, complete with all of your favorite snacks and creature comforts.

Gemini

It’s a good day for checking in with your budget and finances as we enter the final stretch of August, Gemini. If you find yourself with a bit of wiggle room and unanticipated extra funds, hold off on any impulsive purchases or big commitments. Instead, treat yourself to an outing at your favorite neighborhood spot, something that feels like a reward but isn’t overindulgent. It’s a good evening to get out, get social with some friends, and do what you do best: yap!

Cancer

Have you been contemplating playing around with your image and style lately, Cancer? It’s time to let the internal glow-up you’ve been experiencing radiate outwards. When you get dressed this morning let yourself get creative and expressive, and consider how you can shuffle around your wardrobe and accessories to try out something new. Don’t worry about getting too attached to anything or about ‘getting it right’. At the end of the day it’s all about play and letting yourself feel out what feels true and right to you.

Leo

We’re rounding out the end of your season, Leo, but it’s not over yet! You may find yourself feeling a little withdrawn throughout the day with end-of-leo-season-blues. Give yourself the alone time that you need today and don’t be too hard on yourself if you’re not feeling the way you want to. You may find a little pick-up of energy and inspiration in the evening does just the trick to shake it off and finish off Leo season with a bang–whatever that means or looks like to you!

Virgo

Leo season has been a lot for you, Virgo, but don’t worry, your season is just around the corner! Give yourself the time and space you need today to recoup and rest, letting yourself get lost in your own mind and brainstorming process. While your mind may feel a little cluttered and like you’re still recovering from Mercury retrograde now, you may find that things start moving far more quickly than you expected one we hit your season, so enjoy the solitude and retreat now!

Libra

You may find yourself starting the day off with a burst of inspiration, Libra, but if you find it not leading anywhere productive or where you hoped it would take you, don’t take it too hard or overthink it! Give yourself the space you need today to explore possibility and envision things without putting too much pressure on yourself. If you feel yourself pulled to get out and be social in the evening, go with it! You may find that it’s exactly what you need to lean into feeding that creative inspiration.

Scorpio

It’s a good day for day-dreaming, Scorpio! Let your mind wander around the bigger goals and journeys you’d like to initiate in the future–whether that’s day-dreaming and doing a little light internet searching around planning a trip or looking at some educational programs you’re considering. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to take action or commit though! Entertain possibility and poke around at what’s possible. On the other hand, if you’ve been feeling like it’s time to bring up some conversations with your boss about your career, this evening is a supportive time to think on that and dial in exactly what points you want to hit so you can feel prepared to approach that conversation!

Sagittarius

If you’re feeling a little heavy and existential today Sagittarius, give yourself space and don’t get overly self-critical! Give yourself the time and space to sit with that shadow. Today’s a day for shedding some layers and getting to the heart of things. Later in the evening you may feel yourself emerging with an optimistic silver lining, and if you feel called to chat it out with a trusted friend, loved one, or therapist, do so! Just remember–feelings are fleeting but can provide valuable information about your own truth.

Capricorn

It’s a good day to show the important people in your life just how much you care, Capricorn. Set aside some time today for quality time or whatever other gesture your partner, friend, or loved one values most. You may find that this opens up the space for a conversation that’s been weighing on your mind. Even if it’s a tough topic to broach, it’ll strengthen the bond of intimacy between you.

Aquarius

You may find yourself getting frustrated today if things aren’t panning out or as productive as you had hoped, Aquarius. As annoying as that can be, let things flow over you and know that it’s not the end of the world. Unwind at the end of the day by spending some quality time with your partner or a close friend.

Pisces

For you, Pisces, today is a day of imagination, self-indulgence, and letting yourself just be. If you try too hard to force anything you may find yourself bumping up against frustrations or things just not panning out. Finish the day off with an evening of self-care and giving your body exactly what it means–it’ll definitely help alleviate any mental and emotional clogging you’ve been experiencing!
