Weekly Horoscope: August 10 – August 17, 2025
Energy check: alignment, grounding & emotional recalibration.
As we move through the second week of August, cosmic energies shift toward introspection and intentional action. The Lion’s Gate Portal has left its energetic imprint, opening up new awareness—but now it’s time to ground, recalibrate, and make sense of what’s been revealed. Expect some emotional waves midweek as the Moon dances through water signs, calling us to soften, surrender, and reconnect with our intuition.
This week is about clarity in small steps, emotional honesty, and gentle progress. Whether you’re feeling fired up or completely drained, the universe encourages presence over pressure.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

You may feel pulled into the emotions of others this week, Cancer. While your compassion is a gift, boundaries are essential now. Don’t absorb what’s not yours. Focus on replenishing your own emotional well-being first.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
You’re not meant to carry everything alone. This week calls for strategic delegation and emotional check-ins. Productivity is not your only value, Capricorn. Rest is part of the plan too—make room for softness.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
This is a magical week for you, Pisces. Your dreams are potent—pay attention to signs, symbols, and synchronicities. Don’t rush clarity. What you need to know is revealing itself gently, like mist lifting from water.
Crystal Suggestion:
Prehnite – Known as the stone of prophecy, Prehnite strengthens spiritual connection and supports restful sleep.
How to Use:
Place it on your nightstand or under your pillow to enhance dream recall and spiritual guidance.
Ritual Tip:
Create a dream altar with symbols, crystals, or herbs that resonate with your intuition. Spend a few minutes with it each night before bed.
This week, we’re being asked to slow down, reconnect with our inner voice, and honour both clarity and softness. The power of small rituals and intentional pauses is greater than you may realize. Let each moment be a doorway into deeper presence and self-trust.
Crystal energy is especially potent right now—don’t underestimate how these natural allies can hold space for your growth, reflection, and healing. Trust the timing. Be gentle with yourself.
Until next week,
✨ Stay grounded, stay open.
With love,
