Mars Enters Libra

In astrology, Mars is our will, our motivation, and our passion. It is the force from which we move, act, express, and create. As it journeys through the cosmos expressing itself through different signs of the zodiac, the ways we are guided to experience life journeys along with it, colored by each constellation.

When Mars transits into Libra on August 6, 2025, so does our life force. An air sign, Libra is known for balance, harmony, equilibrium, beauty, and alignment. It understands balance as dynamic, opposites as relational, and harmony as shifting in each moment.

Mars in Libra isn’t action for the sake of action. It isn’t force. It is grounded. It is alignment. It is intention balanced with refinement, adaptation, intelligence, and consideration. Mars in Libra perceives life force as a sacred gift and, from that remembering, it moves accordingly.

This time encourages adaptability, compromise, and the sharing of love, desire, creativity, and passion. Through the end of this transit on September 22, 2025, we are invited to bring greater consciousness, intention, and balance to the ways we express ourselves, relate to healthy anger, and assert our desires, and love in relationships.

Full Moon in Aquarius

On August 9, 2025, we experience the full Moon in the future-oriented sign of Aquarius. Ruled by the air element, Aquarius exists within the realm of the mind. It is a collective sign, acting as an agent of change for humanity. It sharpens intuitio, heightens clarity, and moves with liberation in mind.

The Moon is intensely personal. Ruled by the water element, it exists largely within our hidden recesses and is our emotions, our hearts, and our very being.

Under this lunation, we are offered the potential to release the collective noise, expectations, and ideas of right and wrong. Instead, we are asked to come into the feeling self. What do we want the world to look like for ourselves, our loved ones, and our collective humanity? We cannot know the answer unless we know how to hear our own voice, which holds power, meaning, direction, and medicine for all.

This full Moon in Aquarius reminds us that we cannot be agents of change when we rely on the mind alone. To incur change or liberation for self and for the collective, we need to come from the heart. To welcome something new, we need to first embody what we want to exist.

This full Moon reminds us that we are each feeding into humanity and asks us what we want for the collective. Let that truth move through each action we take.

Weekly Horoscope, August 3-9, 2025

Both Mars in Libra and the full Moon in Aquarius speak to dynamics that include the individual self yet extend beyond the individual self. They invite you to consider the balance within your relational dynamics, the intentions behind the actions you take, and the interconnectedness of your outer expression.

As the Sun continues in Leo, you are reminded of the importance of connecting to self. Without that, your actions, thoughts, and ways of being can be swayed and shaped by the many voices around you.

Each transit this week invites you to come home to yourself so you can clear the outer noise of every other human on this planet and hear the call of your own perspective, desires, and truth. Your weekly horoscope helps you discern what these are. Read for your rising sign.

Aries Rising

This week highlights relationships—your relationship to yourself, your intimate partnerships, your friendships, your  community, and humanity. How do you maintain your unique truth among these many truths? Know that balance—assertion and compromise, individuality and collaboration—is both medicinal and required.

Taurus Rising

Think of your long-term visions. As you connect with yourself this week, find balance between movement and rest, expression and restoration. As you do, you bring harmony to the actions, passions, and desires required to pursue  those visions. This intentional movement will take you far.

Gemini Rising

This week invites the release of anyone else’s perspectives, ideas, and ways of thinking that you may have taken on as your own. This is you coming into your authenticity.

Your expansion of awareness is for the purpose of healing yourself and clarifying your intentions.

Virgo Rising

Libra Rising

Find your balance this week—balance of yourself with others, your inner truth with external perspectives, and your personal desires with those of others around you. Practice claiming your space. Witness how your energy moves when you’re in the presence of others, whether one person, a group, or thousands online. Simply be aware.
