Horoscope For Today: Wednesday, August 27, 2025

While today begins with the moon in diplomatic Libra, it makes its ingress into Scorpio this evening at 9:28 PM EST after making a quick opposition to retrograde Chiron at 26° Aries at 3:04 PM.

Simply put, most of the day is dedicated to fighting legal and relational battles while attempting to uncover the painful truth. A chance for mass, large-scale healing comes late this afternoon, and as night falls, we will all have to face our own demons, whether we’re prepared to or not.

This is not exactly a time for new scandals to break, although this is definitely possible. It’s more likely that old ones will be resolved, and the ugly details will be released.

Meanwhile, Venus in Leo stands in stark opposition to Pluto at 1° Aquarius, triggering conflicts between our individual ego and our collective desire for transformation. It will undoubtedly be difficult to fight the impulse to over-indulge right now, especially if our external circumstances look particularly bleak.

But the reality is, we are stronger together than apart, and it is a good idea to get control of our vanity and pride right now. It’s not doing anything but creating further division.

In addition, Jupiter in Cancer is situated in a very close trine to Black Moon Lilith at 17° Scorpio, giving leverage to women, children, and families who have felt oppressed and unable to speak boldly. Now, with this harmonious trine between two female-centric placements, their voices are being heard loud and clear.

If you have something to say, and you’re afraid of coming off like a Jezebel as opposed to a speaker of inconvenient truths, the cosmos is giving you the go-ahead. You’re likely to be understood and to gain sympathy, with the good fortune of Jupiter on your side—although women who are secretly praying for your downfall could appear out of nowhere to discredit you, so be forewarned.

What can you expect to happen to you today on an individual level? Read on.

Aries

For most of the day, the moon transits your seventh house, making an opposition to retrograde Chiron in your first this afternoon. While your emotional attachments to your closest relationships are fulfilling you on some level, you are also working hard to heal a specific physical or psychological wound relating to your own personal identity. Lean on a trusted friend or your intimate partner for comfort as you navigate this complex situation.

Meanwhile, Venus in your fifth house opposing Pluto in your eleventh triggers powerful changes to your social network thanks to a new love interest, child, or creative project that is taking up the majority of your time and energy right now. Friendships that are nearing their expiry date are necessary to let go of, no matter how painful it may feel right now.

The good news? Jupiter in your fourth house is standing in a close trine to Black Moon Lilith in your eighth, ensuring that the women in your family are willing to protect and honor you in all your messy complexity. The day comes to a close with the moon’s ingress into your eighth house, at which point your thoughts will turn darker, moodier, and more sexually oriented; you won’t be afraid to go deeper with your partner, and bond not only physically but psychologically.

Taurus

The moon is cruising through your sixth house for the majority of the day, and it will make an opposition to retrograde Chiron in your twelfth this afternoon. You may wish to focus on all things health, wellness, and productivity, but an unhealed psychological wound is demanding your attention right now and you will be hard-pressed to ignore it for much longer. The breakdown has to come before the breakthrough.

Meanwhile, Venus in your fourth house closes in on an exact opposition with Pluto in your tenth, reflecting massive overhauls to your personal and professional lives. Some of you will be facing major scandals while others will simply choose to retreat from the public eye and spend more time with their families. This is a pivotal moment to consider what you value more: your success in the spotlight or the quiet successes in the domestic sphere.

As Jupiter in your third house comes into a trine with Black Moon Lilith in your seventh, you begin to recognize the value of your local community and your extended family—some of whom may step up and help you more than your own partner. As night falls, the moon moves into your seventh house, forcing you to take stock of your relationship.

Gemini

The day begins with the moon transiting your fifth house, where it will make an opposition to retrograde Chiron in your eleventh around the middle of the afternoon. Your creative, flirtatious, and free-spirited side may need to take a back seat to the drama going down in the group chat. Try to be there for your friends, and understand that if they are acting uncharacteristically hostile, it might not have anything to do with you.

Meanwhile, as Venus in your third house faces off against opposing Pluto in your ninth, you’ll find yourself deeply torn between the sweet nothings offered by a local lover and the possibilities that await you on a long-distance adventure. If you are considering going abroad, now might be the time, even if it pisses off your extended family or threatens their perspective on religious, cultural, and social issues. You might have come to this earth to be a generational cycle breaker, and you’re stepping into your true power and confidence now.

Jupiter favors you right now, as it is situated in your second house, and when it makes a trine with Black Moon Lilith in your sixth, you can be sure it will protect you against the spiteful words of envious colleagues who might be giving you grief. On that note, tonight the moon moves into your sixth house, putting your focus on productivity and strategy.

Cancer

With the moon transiting your fourth house for most of the day before making a mid-afternoon opposition to retrograde Chiron in your tenth, you can expect difficulties to arise at the professional level, such as conflicts, layoffs, or vindictive competition. You might not have even realized that you were playing the game, and now you’re being forced to take the defensive position.

Meanwhile, as Venus in your second house opposes Pluto in your eighth, your financial situation experiences a massive shakeup—for better or for worse. Possibly both. While you might have a lot of cash flow coming in right now, you feel limited in the ways you can use it; it might seem as though everything you earn goes to paying off a debt, loan, or mortgage.

However, Jupiter is currently hanging out in your first house and making a trine to Black Moon Lilith in your fifth, giving you a satisfying boost of creativity and romantic energy. This will carry on into the night, as the moon ingresses into your fifth house and further amplifies your dark, Scorpionic sexual energy.

Leo

For most of the day the moon will be in your third house, and this afternoon it will come into opposition with retrograde Chiron in your ninth, reflecting imbalance between your local and global ambitions. You may feel emotionally attached to your extended family and close community, while knowing deep down that there is a wound to be healed abroad, or in a new religious or academic environment. Don’t let the feelings of the moment stop you from chasing the dreams of a lifetime.

Meanwhile, Venus in your first house opposes Pluto in your seventh, suggesting a breakup is possible; if you and your partner have been thinking about calling it quits, your own recent glow-up might be the catalyst to moving on without them. It could just be a temporary break, or it could feel very final. The point is, you are being called to focus on yourself right now, daring to believe that you can weather any possible storms ahead on your own.

As Jupiter in your twelfth house trines Black Moon Lilith in your fourth house, your mental strength and confidence expands even as your family casts loud and clear judgment. Later on tonight, when the moon ingresses into your fourth house, you have a better chance of getting through to them on an emotional level.

Virgo

Today the moon spends most of its time in your second house, making a mid-afternoon opposition to retrograde Chiron in your eighth. As you try to power through the day and make an honest wage, you are called to surrender your limiting beliefs about your finances and believe in the possibility that you could actually become a high-earning, high-achieving powerhouse—sooner than you think. The best way to do this, at least at this point in your life, is to draw on your authentic pain and woundings, using them to inspire others and leave a lasting legacy. Meanwhile, Venus in your twelfth house forms a harsh opposition to Pluto in your sixth, reminding you that your secrets truly are a sickness. If you’ve been hiding a taboo relationship or playing therapist to your mentally unwell partner, you’re bound to crash out eventually. Your physical health could suffer now, or you could become waylaid by an injury that forces you to rest whether you like it or not. Thankfully, you have the support of your wider network at this time, with Jupiter in your eleventh house trine Black Moon Lilith in your third. Be wary of extended family and neighbors, placing your trust in your chosen circle right now instead. Later tonight, when the moon moves into your third house, you might receive some intrusive or unwanted advice from one of your siblings or cousins.

Libra

For the majority of the day the moon is hanging out in your first house, where it will make an opposition to retrograde Chiron in your seventh this afternoon. You’re more approachable and warmer today, attracting the attention of important people while potentially triggering the jealousy of your own close partner or best friend. Keep the lines of communication open if you sense something is amiss; reassure your loved ones that they can come to you with any problems they have, and that you are more than willing to share your success with them.

If a partner is becoming toxic, it may be time to consider breaking up, but this isn’t necessarily the astrological weather under which to do it, barring other aspects in your natal chart. This is because, right now, Venus in your eleventh house is opposing Pluto in your fifth, seriously challenging the dynamic between your friend group and your romantic life. Everyone around you is feeling the instability and some will be more reactive than others.

With Jupiter in your tenth house trine Black Moon Lilith in your second, however, you’re also untangling some messy and complex money matters. It’s very possible that your recent successes have made some people in your life begin to resent you. Tonight, the moon ingresses into your second house, guaranteeing that money will be on your mind as you fall asleep. Try not to ruminate and lay awake feeling guilty for your own accomplishments.

Scorpio

The moon is transiting your twelfth house for most of the day, and this afternoon it will oppose retrograde Chiron in your sixth, confronting you with an unavoidable reality about your physical health—and how it’s inadvertently impacting you on a psychological level. Take some time to do some Pilates or even some simple stretches if going to the gym is too daunting right now—or too demanding, if you’re recovering from an injury. Even the smallest steps towards improving your physiological health and wellness are worth celebrating.

Meanwhile, with Venus in your tenth house facing off in a harsh opposition with Pluto in your fourth, your home and family situation is undergoing serious upheaval that you are doing your best to keep private. To the outside world, it may appear that you have it all together, and maybe financially you do—but if there is something awry in your home life, eventually it will begin to creep into your professional life, too.

The positive news is that Jupiter in your ninth house trine Black Moon Lilith in your first gives you a boost of divine guidance and confident self-assurance that will keep you level-headed throughout this period of chaos. And tonight, when the moon ingresses into your first house, you’ll feel more forgiving towards yourself.

Sagittarius

The moon will spend most of the day transiting your eleventh house, and it will make an opposition to retrograde Chiron in your fifth around mid-afternoon. You feel fulfilled by your social community, while there is still an unhealed wound haunting you: a toxic ex, perhaps, or a casual situationship you just can’t seem to fully cut ties with. Rely on your friends right now. Trust them enough to ask their advice on what has become a frustrating, potentially toxic cycle. You might be surprised by what they tell you.

Meanwhile, Venus in your ninth house makes a powerful opposition to Pluto in your third, reflecting a catalyzing moment that you’ve probably seen coming for a while, if you’re intuitive in the slightest: you’re being offered the opportunity to earn more money for a foreign company, or travel with a lover abroad, while your beloved local community crumbles around you. There is a time to stay and fight for your home, but right now your heart is set on escape.

With Jupiter in your eighth house trine Black Moon Lilith in your twelfth, you can expect secret sources of income to come through, either through inheritance or familial gifts, that help you get a move on. By the end of the day, the moon will have made its way into your twelfth house, encouraging you to journal your dark thoughts, purging yourself of their destructive power.

Capricorn

Today begins with the moon transiting your tenth house, where it will make an opposition to retrograde Chiron in your fourth this afternoon, encouraging you to heal your private familial trauma even as you seek approval from your professional colleagues and the court of public opinion. It may be time to isolate yourself a little bit, or at least step back from your most demanding responsibilities; you’re unlikely to be able to keep up this momentum forever, much less with a glaring open wound in your domestic environment that needs to be addressed.

Meanwhile, Venus in your eighth house makes a strong opposition to Pluto in your second, challenging your perceptions of yourself in relation to your earning potential. While your current lover is likely willing to splurge to give you all the luxuries you could ever imagine, your own sources of income are demanding your attention as you go through a powerful, sweeping transformation. You could be dealing with huge losses or huge gains—or a bit of both, depending on the day.

If you do have a rich partner right now, you’re especially fortunate, since Jupiter in your seventh house trine Black Moon Lilith in your eleventh is likely to protect you from poor investments, bad actors in your professional network, and friends who want to use you for your wealth. The day comes to a dramatic close with the moon’s ingress into your eleventh house, emphasizing the importance of community. Don’t keep yourself completely hidden away.

Aquarius

The day begins with the moon in your ninth house, where it will make a mid-afternoon opposition to retrograde Chiron in your third and force you to communicate some of your deepest wounds in order to help them close up for good. You might not like to appear weak, but it’s time to put pen to paper and admit what’s been going on. If you aren’t a good writer, you might find it easier to confess to a trusted sibling, cousin, or extended family member that can offer a nuanced perspective on the situation, whatever it may be.

Meanwhile, Venus in your seventh house opposes Pluto in your first, triggering chaotic tension between you and your partner as you undergo what is likely the most radical transformation of your personal identity of your lifetime.

Fortune shines upon you from the sixth house, where Jupiter makes a trine to Black Moon Lilith in your tenth; despite the fact that your reputation has been suffering lately, with fierce and persistent attacks against you, you are still in good health (barring other aspects in your natal chart), and your productivity has never been higher. Keep working hard and minding your own business, and you’re likely to pass through this relatively unscathed, even being vindicated in the end if you have been making some unpopular opinions in the public sphere. At the end of the day, the moon moves into your tenth house, drawing your focus to the power you do hold and how you can harness it more effectively.

Pisces

For most of the day, the moon will be hanging out in your eighth house, and this afternoon it opposes retrograde Chiron in your second, meaning you won’t be able to ignore your trauma surrounding money for much longer. You’re being very forcefully called to hold yourself accountable and believe that you are worth far more than you are currently believing yourself to be. While it can be easy to dream, say, of marrying rich, at the end of the day you know this is not your deepest desire—it is simply an easy way out. You possess formidable strength and competence at going after your financial goals. Many, in fact, would be envious of your capabilities, but you might mistakenly believe that everyone is equally ambitious. This is simply not true.

Meanwhile, as Venus in your sixth house harshly opposes Pluto in your twelfth, an office romance or fling with your personal trainer brings about painful and powerful revelations about your psyche. If your mental health has been suffering, maybe it’s time to check back in with your therapist.

As Jupiter in your fifth house trines Black Moon Lilith in your ninth, you find creativity and romance to be unusually easy, as long as you keep your passion projects away from the women in your religious, academic, or political community. They would probably be villainizing you if they knew you were committing some form of wrongthink. The day ends with the moon’s ingress into your ninth house, placing your own values and convictions under a microscope.
