Your horoscope for Monday 18 August 2025
Aries ♈
The Gemini Moon sparks your instinct to rush in with a thousand ideas at once, but today’s real strength is in letting those sparks catch in others. You’ve got the heat to initiate, but you’ll need to trust comrades to keep the fire going. Share the mic at meetings, delegate loudly, and resist the urge to do everything yourself. You’re not losing control — you’re creating momentum that can outlast your stamina. Remember: collective flames burn brighter than solo matches.
Taurus ♉
Venus squares Saturn in your horoscope, pushing you to question whether your comforts are scaffolding or shackles. Today, think about where stability has turned into rigidity. Perhaps the group is clinging to a format that no longer serves, or you’re holding resources that could flow elsewhere. You’re not being asked to abandon what feels secure — but to reframe comfort as a collective resource, not private property. A sturdy table is more useful when everyone can eat at it.
Gemini ♊
The Moon in your sign doubles your usual quicksilver charm, making you the voice people lean into. Today’s perfect for drafting radical newsletters, mediating between factions, or turning bureaucratic jargon into language that actually inspires. You’re not just flitting from thought to thought — you’re showing that words are weapons, and wielding them with precision. Beware, though: too much cleverness without grounding risks sounding like spin. Anchor your wit in lived struggle, not just wordplay.
Cancer ♋
The Gemini Moon agitates your watery depths, making you feel pulled between wanting quiet and needing to engage. Today, your sensitivity is your shield and sword — you notice the cracks in the group’s morale before they widen. Instead of absorbing all that tension yourself, use your instincts to nudge solutions: suggest a break, bring tea, or remind people of the shared “why” behind the work. You’re not hiding in your shell — you’re tending the hearth that keeps everyone warm.
Leo ♌
The Sun harmonises with Mercury in your horoscope, giving your fire a sharp tongue and quick wit. Today, you can easily take the spotlight — but the real challenge is turning that attention into a collective amplifier. Share stories that highlight the quieter heroes of the movement, not just the headline-makers. You’re not diminishing your charisma — you’re proving it’s strongest when it reflects light onto others. Think less “solo performance” and more “MC for the revolution.”
Virgo ♍
Mercury, your ruler, is fortified by the Moon’s curiosity. Today, you’re a master of detail disguised as improvisation: you can organise a rota while chatting, or edit a policy mid-discussion without losing the thread. This isn’t drudgery — it’s power. Your knack for turning chaos into clarity is revolutionary when systems are built to confuse and exclude. You’re not just keeping the minutes — you’re making sure history remembers the truth, not the corporate spin.
What’s in store with your horoscope today?
Libra ♎
The Gemini Moon feeds your love of dialogue, but today it also asks you to be braver with conflict. Harmony isn’t the absence of disagreement; it’s the skill of holding it productively. If someone’s dodging accountability or hoarding power, your charm can open the conversation without burning the bridge. You’re not “causing trouble” — you’re showing that fairness requires friction. Sometimes balance is about moving the scales, not just admiring them.
Scorpio ♏
Pluto harmonises with the Moon in your horoscope, making your investigative streak sharper than usual. Today, you’ll find yourself cutting through pretence — whether it’s a dodgy funding source or a “consensus” that isn’t really consensual. Your role isn’t to destroy, but to expose what festers in the dark so it can be healed. You’re not being paranoid — you’re protecting the collective from slow rot. Just remember: revelations land better with compassion than with daggers.
Sagittarius ♐
The Moon lights up your ruler Jupiter, fuelling your hunger for fresh connections and bigger horizons. Today, chase it by reaching beyond your usual circles — link campaigns, invite in new voices, or set up a skill-share across groups. You’re not being flaky — you’re expanding the edges of what’s possible. Just keep one foot grounded, so the seeds you scatter actually take root, not just drift with the wind.
Capricorn ♑
Saturn presses against Venus in your horoscope, highlighting the tension between responsibility and pleasure. You might feel torn between keeping things structured and allowing space for joy. Today, resist the capitalist lie that joy is frivolous. A song sung on the picket line, a laugh mid-meeting, or a shared meal can strengthen the collective more than another spreadsheet. You’re not abandoning discipline — you’re weaving pleasure into it, which is the only way it endures.
Aquarius ♒
The Gemini Moon trines your sign, sparking quick innovation in group dynamics. Today, trial small experiments: rotating facilitators, co-drafting statements, or even starting the meeting in a circle rather than a hierarchy of tables. You’re not fiddling — you’re stress-testing the future in miniature. Don’t be afraid if not everything sticks; your gift is to show that the experiment itself is part of the revolution.
Pisces ♓
The Gemini Moon squares your ruler Neptune in your horoscope, pulling you between dreamy ideals and messy reality. Today, the trick is to ground your vision in one tangible action — a mutual aid delivery, a poem for the newsletter, a quiet check-in with someone overlooked. You’re not diluting your dreaminess — you’re proving that imagination isn’t escapism when it takes form in the world. Every utopia needs its first brick.
