Weekly Horoscope: August 11 – August 17, 2025

Waxing Moon • Inner Alignment • Courage to Refine and Rise

This week carries the build-up energy before a powerful Aquarius Full Moon (next week), with the waxing moon guiding us through emotional honesty, relational rebalancing, and creative commitment.
We’re still in Leo season — encouraging bold expression — but now it’s about refining what we want to sustain.

The week starts with air and water (Libra/Scorpio), then fire (Sagittarius) — mirroring the journey from emotion to empowerment.

♈️ Aries (Mar 21–Apr 19)

Keyword: Recharge
Take care of your body this week — Leo fire can burn fast, and you’re still integrating Chiron retrograde in your sign.
🥗 Cell Salt Tip: Silicea – strengthens energy reserves and mental clarity. Eat flaxseed, steamed veggies, and mineral broths.

♉️ Taurus (Apr 20–May 20)

Keyword: Clarity
Your heart is recalibrating. Venus helps you reflect on love and worth. Don't rush decisions — wait for your inner YES.
💬 Affirmation: “I honor my worth. I allow love to meet me where I truly am.”

♊️ Gemini (May 21–Jun 20)

Keyword: Focus
You’ve got ideas, but the Moon in your productivity zone says: organize, simplify, commit. Pick the idea that wants to grow.
🥗Cell Salt Tip: Kali Phos – supports mental stamina + calm. Eat nuts, bananas, and calming herbal teas.

♋️ Cancer (Jun 21–Jul 22)

Keyword: Creativity
This is a beautiful week for art, romance, and self-love rituals. Let joy be your compass — not guilt.
💬 Affirmation: “My joy is sacred. My heart creates beauty without shame.”

♌️ Leo (Jul 23–Aug 22)

Keyword: Identity
You’re in your solar spotlight — but this week reminds you to shed the false self. Confidence isn't performance — it’s embodiment.
🥗 Cell Salt Tip: Nat Phos – balances energy + self-awareness. Eat citrus, quinoa, and light cleansing meals.

♍️ Virgo (Aug 23–Sep 22)

Keyword: Reflection
You’re preparing for your season. Use this week to reset. Mercury is in pre-retrograde shadow — listen to what your intuition is whispering.
💬 Affirmation: “In silence, I hear my next step. I move with grounded grace.”

♎️ Libra (Sep 23–Oct 22)

Keyword: Balance
The Moon moves through your sign early in the week — giving you clarity in personal dynamics. Say what needs to be said.
🥗 Cell Salt Tip: Nat Mur – supports emotional + energetic fluidity. Eat melon, sea salt, and hydrating fruits.

♏️ Scorpio (Oct 23–Nov 21)

Keyword: Depth
The waxing Moon in your sign midweek urges internal truth-telling. Don’t ignore what you feel — or who triggers it.
💬 Affirmation: “I welcome transformation. I rise from truth, not illusion.”

♐️ Sagittarius (Nov 22–Dec 21)

Keyword: Alignment
You’re gaining clarity on your long-term goals. Where are you leaking time or energy? Simplify your vision and focus forward.
🥗 Cell Salt Tip: Calc Phos – supports long-term vitality and clarity. Eat sesame, figs, and warm whole grains.

♑️ Capricorn (Dec 22–Jan 19)

Keyword: Purpose
Your role is shifting — professionally or spiritually. The Moon invites you to redefine what success actually feels like.
💬 Affirmation: “My purpose evolves as I evolve. I honor every version of my mission.”

♒️ Aquarius (Jan 20–Feb 18)

Keyword: Awakening
The Full Moon in your sign is coming — and this week brings emotional buildup. Pay attention to signs, dreams, and mirror moments.
🥗 Cell Salt Tip: Mag Phos – helps release tension + emotional holding. Eat avocado, leafy greens, and warming soups.

♓️ Pisces (Feb 19–Mar 20)

Keyword: Union
This week brings deeper partnership energy — both romantic and spiritual. Ask: do your connections nourish or deplete you?
💬 Affirmation: “I invite connection that mirrors my peace and inspires my soul.”

🌔 Cosmic Wrap-Up

Let this be a sacred integration week. Refine your energy. Honor what’s building beneath the surface. And remember: Leo fire can light the path — but only if you tend the flame with care.

Big emotional release arrives next week with the Aquarius Full Moon. For now, stay in the center of your courage.
