Weekly Horoscope: August 25 – August 31, 2025

Waning Moon • Mercury Retrograde Deep Dive • Soul-Level Simplification

This week is a cosmic cool-down after last week’s intense Full Moon and Mercury’s retrograde station. The waning moon helps us shed, simplify, and reconnect to what feels pure and purposeful.

The Sun in Virgo guides us to return to ritual and realignment, while the Moon’s passage through Pisces, Aries, and Taurus helps us rest → renew → root.
