Horoscope for Sunday, August 17, 2025

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Gemini.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

A positive day

You'll try anything new with your hands, which is why you love starting new hobbies. Good news: This is the perfect day to use your creative efforts, so roll up your sleeves and do what you want. It's also a great day to teach young minds. Meanwhile, romantic discussions will be vigorous.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

An average day

Get ready for lively family discussions today. However, some of this energy can also be channeled into home repairs or fixing up where you live to make some improvements. (You'll be diplomatic in these discussions because your ruler Venus will give you tact and verbal discipline.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

A positive day

Things will tend to go your way today because the moon is in your sign. Meanwhile, you're mentally energetic and keen to make things happen. This is a great day for short trips, plus, discussions with siblings, neighbors and relatives. This is also a good day to study and learn something new.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

An average day

Looking a year down the road, we can see that you will get richer. Small wonder because today, many of you have moneymaking ideas. In fact, lively discussions, perhaps with family members, will encourage suggestions about how to handle money — including your own possessions.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

A positive day

Today Mercury in Leo is dancing with Mars, which makes you busy and interested in many things. However, you might feel the need to convince someone of something today. You're also tempted to take over and direct a project (which makes sense because you're a natural leader).

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A positive day

You're a researcher. You're also a fact junkie. It so happens, this is a great day for research and uncovering secrets. Meanwhile, people notice you today. Therefore, you might impress someone. Go do that voodoo that you do so well.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

An average day

This is a positive day! You have lots of energy to talk to friends, groups and organizations. You might take over as team leader. Fortunately, with Venus at the top of your chart, you will be charming and cooperative with everyone. (You're holding all the cards.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

An average day

Discussions with parents, bosses and authority figures will be lively and vigorous today. However, they might think you're coming on too strong or taking over. Be aware of this and use tact and diplomacy to achieve your aims, (which you definitely intend to do).

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A positive day

You're excited about travel plans, or about legal or medical matters, or something to do with publishing. You have lots of mental energy today, which will help you to learn or study something profound. (Of course, when in doubt — there's always rock-paper-scissors.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

An average day

Anything to do with shared property, taxes, debt or shared responsibilities will intrigue you today. This is why you'll have lively discussions about financial matters, and also why you will probably get your way. Because Venus is opposite your sign, people will bow to your authority.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

An average day

You might attract someone to you today who is talkative and persuasive. In fact, they might come on so aggressively, you think they're spoiling for a fight. Actually, because Mercury is dancing with Mars today, many people are mentally active and keen to spout their opinions about practically anything.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

An average day

You'll take a hands-on approach to whatever you do today because you're busy, motivated and energetic! Your creative juices are flowing, but you are also ready to tackle practical projects as well. You might teach someone today.

If today is your birthday

Actor Robert De Niro (1943) shares your birthday today. You are generous, confident and persuasive. You're also independent, even rebellious. You live life on your own terms. This is a year for inward reflection, and a time to renew your spiritual or religious beliefs. Explore philosophies that will get you closer to the true meaning of your life.
