Horoscope For Today: Thursday, August 14, 2025

Hello, my friends, and happy Thursday! The cosmos are granting us a tender and contemplative day as the Moon wanes through the late degrees of Aries and enters grounded, sensual Taurus, making a connection to Chiron, the celestial body of wounds and healing, then making tense connections to Pluto and Mercury, which may get us caught up between our hearts and our heads around a lot of the deep, personal transformation we’ve been moving through.

While Mercury retrograde may be over, Mercury is still hovering at the same degree it stationed direct at just three days ago. Consequently, it might not be time to move forward full steam ahead, but rather sit with the things that were grabbing our attention throughout Mercury retrograde and reflect on how we feel about it. Towards the end of the day Mercury makes a supportive connection to Mars, the planet of action and energetic drive, which may lend towards a bit of motivation and action-oriented solutions.

Read on ahead to find out exactly how today’s astrology is hitting your sign, and don’t forget to read your Sun and rising sign!

Aries

Aries, today is all about embracing fresh, new ideas and turning your attention to how you can take tangible, grounded steps towards them. If you’re feeling at odds with yourself or like you’re overthinking things, give yourself the space to take your time. It may be counterintuitive to your head-first instincts, Aries, but you may find yourself able to move forward much more steadily when you do.

Taurus

If you find yourself starting the day off feeling tender, withdrawn, and contemplative, give yourself a little time and space, Taurus. You’ll likely find yourself finding your groove as the day goes on, possibly even catching a bit of motivation to get going on some necessary cleaning and organizing to help create some space in your life for the changes, growth, and transformation you feel yourself going through.

Gemini

It’s time to finally get yourself re-oriented and moving again post Mercury retrograde, Gemini. Embrace any sense of motivation and let it carry you into action today, but don’t push yourself too hard. In the later part of the day you may find yourself feeling the need to retreat and slow down, but use it as an opportunity to get lost in your own dreaming and see what creative ideas want to push through.

Cancer

It’s a good day to focus on some big-picture goals and aspirations today, Cancer. Spend some time reflecting on your own growth and the healing journey you’ve been on, how that feels reflected through your own values (including considering whether you’ve been holding onto things you’ve outgrown!) If you feel any internal tensions today, funnel them into creative outlets and artistic expression. Doing so many even serve as a guide toward the questions you’ve been grappling with around your own bigger picture lately.

Leo

We’re just coming out of a pretty impactful Mercury retrograde in your sign, Leo, but now that it’s over it’s time to start thinking about all the things that came up over the last few weeks and consider what you want to do about it. That may include things that just aren’t working for you anymore, parts of yourself you feel you’ve outgrown, or even your greater goals that just don’t feel in alignment with the person you’re becoming. Let these contemplations lead you to consider your own bigger picture today, your general career path, and whether it’s helping you do the work you feel called to do in this world.

Virgo

Perhaps you’re feeling a bit moody and withdrawn today, Virgo, but just embrace it. It’s been an intense, consequential few weeks as we’ve been moving through this recent Mercury retrograde, which has certainly been stirring up a lot for you internally. For you today is all about confronting the frustrations and extra baggage you’ve been carrying and seeing if you can find an optimistic silver lining in the process by fashioning your experience into wisdom that will guide you forward.

Libra

It’s been a BIG couple weeks for you, Libra, and if you haven’t been welcoming in some big new opportunities already the past couple weeks, you certainly can expect to in the near future. That being said, you may be feeling the weight of decision making right now and the pressure to take action. If you find yourself being granted new opportunities in your career and public life right now, make sure you’re asking for your own worth and remember that you’re allowed to be choosy and pick things that feel intriguing, creatively fulfilling, and align with your own personal aspirations.

Scorpio

Has your routine been feeling a bit stale lately, Scorpio? Perhaps it’s time to shift things around in a way that feels more spiritually nourishing, invigorating, and inspiring. You shouldn’t expect to solve all of this in a single day, but take the time to reflect on what’s working and what’s not. It may be helpful to consider what snags and frustrations were grabbing at your attention throughout this recent Mercury retrograde, particularly in regards to your career, and whether there’s a way you can re-situate your day to day life that supports some of the changes you want to make. If you’re struggling to put your finger on it, you may find it helpful to talk it out with a partner, close friend, or loved one.

Sagittarius

You’re been going through some really big personal internal alchemy lately, Sagittarius. Spend today grounding yourself in your routine, engaging in some self-care by tending to your physical being. In other words, today is an invitation to get out of your head and into your body. You just may find in doing so that certain things you’ve been circling around click into place in a way they weren’t before.

Capricorn

You may find yourself being pulled into some deep reflection on your own internal self and private life today, Capricorn. And while this certainly may be helpful in sorting through some things that have been on your mind, try not to get too stuck in your own seriousness. Make sure to give yourself the space to experience happiness for the sake of happiness today by taking the time to do something that brings you pleasure. It’s also a particularly good night for a date night for you, Capricorn, whether that’s with a partner or in pursuit of a new romantic spark.

Aquarius

Aquarius, odds are you’re still winding down from that very heightened full moon in your sign last week. If you’re feeling tensions today or finding yourself circuiting around your own head, focus on tending to your own roots and grounding yourself. If you’re feeling at odds with a partner or close friend, just be mindful of how you approach any conversations with them. Talking things through stands to cultivate a closer understanding of one another, but you need to make sure you’re approaching the conversation with empathy and understanding.

Pisces

If you’ve been feeling a spur of creative growth, inspiration, and flourishing lately, today’s a great day to get practical and hands-on with the act of crafting and creating. If there’s something you’ve been wanting to start, explore the early stages and see what wants to come into form. If you’re hitting any snags, you may find it helpful to talk things out with someone or pick up a pen and journal to work through it.
