Cancer Horoscope August 2025
Turning Points
The planet of communication Mercury turns direct in Leo and your personal money sector on the 11th. Mercury’s been retrograde, i.e. on go slow, since July 18th. It’s been a chaotic Mercury retrograde phase. Hopefully, things haven’t been too crazy for you on the finance front.
Therefore, this is a positive turning point in the month. News or information may come to light that’s helpful. It would be a good date to reopen the lines of communication, chase up monies owed and get things organised financially.
Plus, the following day, the 12th, there’s a glorious Venus-Jupiter conjunction in your star sign Cancer. This spells good news for you because these are the two best planets in astrology and they represent big love or big money.
The planet of relating Venus is in your star sign Cancer up until the 25th. Make the most of it and prioritise love. You have charm in abundance when Venus is in your star sign so use your popularity and attract who or what you want into your life.
Mid-August could prove exciting for love. Or perhaps, you feel more abundant or flush than you have for some time. Make the most of life and treat yourself and the ones you love.
Leo Season
Certainly, this is likely to be a significant month for money matters. This is because of the inner planets moving through Leo and your personal money sector. Talk planet Mercury is in Leo throughout August, the Sun is here until the 22nd and the planet of relating Venus enters Leo on the 25th.
Therefore, this is an ideal month to engage with money, your values and self-worth, especially once Mercury is back to direct motion. Consider what money means to you, whether you have enough or you want to earn more.
You may be spending money on your home or your family. Or you could choose to help the ones you love. You might decide to take a stay-cation to save money and seek more sun, fun and pleasure in your daily life.
Also this month, the Full Moon on the 9th highlights the financial axis of your horoscope. Full Moons bring matters to completion and there can be culmination or achievement linked to the Full Moon phase.
Use this Full Moon to make a clear decision about money and get real about money management. Do what feels right but balance your head and heart in making a key decision. Trust your natural instincts around money during the Full Moon phase.
Being a star sign Cancer, security matters to you both financially and emotionally. This could be the main trigger for the key decisions you make moving forward.
Virgo Season
At the start of the month, action planet Mars is in Virgo and your communication and community sector up until the 6th. Mars has been in this sector of your horoscope since June 17th and it’s a positive time to team up with other people and share advice and support.
Virgo season begins on the 22nd when the Sun moves into the star sign representing the harvest. Virgo encourages you to be in community, to find your tribe and make new friends. Virgo rules siblings and relatives in your horoscope, also transport and all forms of communication.
The New Moon falls in Virgo on the 23rd, a symbol of new beginnings. Reach out on this date, whether you speak or write as communication is the key. You might sign up to a new educational course or consider teaching others.
However, it could be that life takes an unexpected turn during the New Moon phase. This is because the Sun clashes with erratic, unpredictable Uranus on the 24th. Uranus in Gemini is a wild card and your mind could be overly busy. Try not to be too impulsive and don’t let your emotions get the better of you.
Perhaps, you’re worried about the future or you’re feeling nervous about your next steps. You may be stepping into a new position of responsibility. Or you’ve recently been promoted and you need to make a significant commitment to your career or vocation.
Events on or around the 12th & 29th could reveal more. Experiment with your next steps and bring something new to a company or use new technologies to further your progress.
Home & Family
Finally this month, action planet Mars enters Libra on the 6th. Libra represents the sector of your horoscope which rules your home and family. This is where you’re wise to seek balance, peace and harmony.
If you’re a typical Sun Cancer, you need somewhere in life you can retreat to, a place of comfort and nurture. It’s a positive time to be proactive around family. Check up on your loved ones, have that long-awaited phone call or get your house in order.
This is a top month if you’re moving home or involved in building work or DIY. You can get things done, even if it means that your immediate environment will be noisier than usual.
Mars in Libra wants peace but it doesn’t always come easily for the warrior planet. This could flag up some arguments or irritations with family. Be aware of this and try and keep on the right side of the ones you love. At the same time, don’t hide what you’re thinking or feeling.
You could feel the pull between home and family and your future path, especially between the 8th to the 10th. You can be a homebody at heart but life is encouraging you to play big and create a secure future for yourself and the ones you love. Try not to let fear or doubt hold you back.
