Your horoscope for Tuesday 12 August 2025

Aries ♈

The Capricorn Moon gives your drive a sensible satnav, turning your bursts of energy into actual progress. Today, commit to a long-haul project — the kind that outlives your attention span. You’re not going stale — you’re building something the quarterly report can’t measure.


Taurus ♉

Venus trines the Moon in your horoscope, grounding your need for comfort in tangible structure. Today, turn your home or workspace into a sanctuary for resistance — a place where organising feels natural, not forced. You’re not nesting — you’re fortifying the base.


Gemini ♊

Mercury sextiles Saturn, sharpening your rhetoric and making it harder for managerial waffle to get past you. Today, ask the awkward follow-up. Challenge the “efficiency” plan that ignores people. You’re not being contrary — you’re defending clarity from corporate fog.


Cancer ♋

The Capricorn Moon sits opposite your sign, spotlighting where your care work collides with structural limits. Today, draw a line. Redistribute emotional labour. You’re not withdrawing — you’re ensuring no one becomes the movement’s unpaid therapist.


Leo ♌

The Sun squares Uranus in your horoscope, sparking a tension between your flair for the dramatic and the need for a realistic plan. Today, channel your energy into tangible action. You’re not toning it down — you’re ensuring the fireworks are timed for maximum effect.


Virgo ♍

Venus in your sign forms a trine to the Moon, making you a master of sustainable systems. Today, design a process that makes the work fairer and less exhausting. You’re not fussing — you’re future-proofing collective effort.


What’s in store with your horoscope today?

Libra ♎

The Capricorn Moon in your horoscope asks you to balance harmony with hierarchy-busting. Today, push for transparent decision-making. You’re not making waves — you’re making sure the ship belongs to everyone.


Scorpio ♏

Pluto rules your sign and supports the Moon today, sharpening your instinct for deep change. Scrap the patch-up jobs. Advocate for full-scale transformation. You’re not overreacting — you’re refusing to settle for tidy rot.


Sagittarius ♐

Jupiter squares the Moon in your horoscope, making you restless for action that feels too slow. Today, focus on the unglamorous steps — the policy draft, the rota, the funding plan. You’re not selling out — you’re laying the stones for the road ahead.


Capricorn ♑

The Moon in your sign boosts your ability to steer the long game. Today, use that focus to challenge systems that assume permanence. You’re not protecting the status quo — you’re deciding which structures are worth keeping.


Aquarius ♒

Uranus, your ruler, stirs in Taurus in your horoscope and prompts you to innovate within limits. Today, experiment with collective tools or meeting formats. You’re not tinkering — you’re prototyping liberation in miniature.


Pisces ♓

Neptune sextiles the Moon in your horoscope, helping you blend idealism with realism. Today, give your dreams a budget, a timeline, and a rota. You’re not constraining magic — you’re making sure it shows up on time.
