WEEK OF August 18 - 24, 2025
It’s always a little bittersweet when the Sun leaves Leo and your adventurous ninth house—the “Sag house” of travel, learning and big-picture dreaming. Until Friday, August 22, soak up those last rays of the lion-hearted courage and expansion. Join friends for an evening hike or lake swim. Say yes to a fancy dinner plan or take a day off to hang out with a friend who is visiting from out of town. These final five days of Leo season can fill your tank with the inspiration that you’ll soon pour into more tangible goals.
Yes, Sagittarius, your ambitious focus returns this Friday. The Sun strides into Virgo and your tenth house of career, success and public image, kicking off a four-week window to level up your professional game. Then, just one day later, on Saturday, August 23, a new moon in Virgo doubles down on your ambition, launching a fresh six-month cycle for your biggest work dreams. And this is only the beginning—the second Virgo new moon arrives September 21 as a solar eclipse that could mark a defining career breakthrough.
What’s an Archer to do? Turn your visionary ideas into something actionable. Map out where you want to be by year’s end and reverse-engineer the steps to get there. Your output over the next few weeks won’t go unnoticed, so bring your A-game to every meeting, pitch or project. Align with collaborators who complement your strengths, and don’t be shy about showcasing what makes you stand out.
If you’re exploring a new direction, plant seeds strategically. Volunteer for a small project to get in front of the decision-makers or take on a visible role that lets your skills shine without overcommitting. The right people will see your potential—and may even make you an offer you weren’t expecting. By the time that September 12 solar eclipse rolls in, you could be standing in a very different professional landscape—one that reflects not just what you do, but also your bold, visionary methodology.
Your drive for success is strong with the Sun powering through Virgo and your ambitious tenth house, Sagittarius, but Sunday’s square to volatile Uranus in your relationship zone could stir friction if work is crowding out quality time. If a partner or close collaborator feels sidelined, listen without getting defensive. You may need to rebalance those scales. Be willing to make small compromises on less-critical points and address any issues you’ve been avoiding head-on. The goal isn’t to win an argument, but to find a rhythm where your big dreams and your key relationships can thrive together.
