Pisces Monthly Horoscope: August 2025 by Susan Miller
Pisces Monthly Horoscope: August 2025
Dear Pisces, if you’ve been finding collaboration more challenging than usual recently, there are solid astrological reasons behind this tension. Mars has been journeying through Virgo, directly opposing your sun from your seventh house of partnerships, marriage, and committed relationships. When disagreements arose, compromise often felt like your only option, as planetary support for standing your ground was scarce. While this Martian position has certainly tested your patience, relief arrives on August 6th when Mars finally departs Virgo.
Clearing the Cosmic Fog
Another factor contributing to July’s challenges was Mercury’s retrograde period, which began on July 18th in Leo—your sixth house of daily work and routines. This likely created confusion with clients or supervisors, leading to reworks, do-overs, and canceled plans. The good news? Mercury stations direct on August 10th, bringing much-needed clarity to your professional communications.
The July 24th new moon at 2 degrees Leo created additional partnership tension by directly opposing Pluto at 2 degrees Aquarius. You might have felt like you were hitting a brick wall with someone who simply refused to consider your perspective. However, Uranus—the planet of surprises—formed a beautiful trine to this new moon from your fourth house of home and endings, suggesting these stubborn situations reached their final resolution.
Financial Flow and Cosmic Timing
With Mars moving into Libra on August 6th (until September 22nd), your financial sector becomes activated. While this may increase expenses, you’re also discovering new revenue streams. If possible, delay significant electronics purchases until after September 1st—even though Mercury turns direct on August 10th, allowing a few days for its shadow period to pass ensures smoother transactions. Many manufacturers release new models in September anyway, so waiting might bring better options.
The magnificent August 9th full moon in Aquarius (17 degrees) illuminates your twelfth house of secrets, healing, and closure. You might be working on confidential projects requiring non-disclosure agreements, or learning information someone had kept hidden—knowledge that will prove valuable for future decisions. This full moon also emphasizes health matters, making August an ideal time for medical procedures or supporting loved ones through their healing journeys.
The Eclipse Season Approaches
Mark your calendar for the significant September 7th full moon lunar eclipse at 15 degrees Pisces. If your birthday falls within four days of March 7th, or your rising sign is near 15 degrees Pisces, you’ll feel this eclipse most powerfully. Something deeply personal will reach culmination—possibly involving relationships beginning or ending. About 15% of people feel eclipse effects a month early, so pay attention to August 9th for preliminary signals.
What makes the August 9th full moon extraordinary is the rare golden trine formation between Uranus (in Gemini, your fourth house), Mars (in Libra, your eighth house), and Pluto (in Aquarius, your twelfth house). This harmonious configuration suggests unexpected financial support for home-related expenses and generally favorable outcomes across multiple life areas.
Maximize August’s Cosmic Opportunities
While the August 9th full moon features spectacular planetary aspects, the moon itself will be void-of-course for nearly 23 hours—making August 8th the optimal day for important actions. The powerful planetary energies already in place will override any minor Mercury retrograde complications. Launch new ventures, move into new homes, or begin significant campaigns on this date for maximum success.
Two new moons in Virgo—August 22nd and September 21st (accompanied by a solar eclipse)—will activate your relationship sector. The August 22nd new moon brings unexpected news through Uranus’s challenging square to the sun, potentially involving someone leaving your household or relationship changes. The September eclipse will prove more favorable, bringing new beginnings in committed partnerships.
Financial Mastery and Future Planning
Since July 2024, Saturn has been dancing close to your ruling planet Neptune, teaching financial discipline and long-term planning. This influence continues until July 2026, encouraging you to sacrifice immediate pleasures for more substantial goals. Your timing is perfect—these lessons will prove invaluable as Saturn moves into Aries in February 2026, beginning a new cycle focused on wealth accumulation.
The rare Saturn-Neptune conjunction on February 20, 2026 will represent a period of significant decisions and commitments. As these planets separate throughout 2026, you’ll gradually release financial constraints while retaining the valuable lessons learned about money management and personal discipline.
Looking Ahead
September brings two eclipses—the September 7th Pisces full moon lunar eclipse and September 21st Virgo new moon solar eclipse—ensuring a month of changes and growth. Complete financial negotiations and planning in August while your focus remains clear, as September’s eclipses will shift attention toward relationship matters.
Remember to leverage August 8th’s exceptional cosmic energy for important initiatives. The planetary alignment is so favorable that opportunities launched this day will likely surpass expectations. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to move forward, this is it.
As a Pisces, your adaptive nature and intuitive understanding of life’s cycles serve you well during these cosmic shifts. Trust that the changes ahead are steering you toward greater alignment with your true path.
