Cancer Monthly Horoscope

Monthly Horoscope for August 2025

In view of your astral conjunction, you will certainly be interested in change, development and temporality in the coming weeks. During August it's likely a number of questions will cross your mind and you won't always be able to find immediate answers to them.

Crossed by the Sun, Saturn and Pluto, your astral sky clearly highlights your deep desire to shape a daily life that reflects your desires and your values. It also highlights a sincere desire to question some of those desires, values and habits which you think have a tendency to hold you back.

Like many Cancers, you have always believed that a person's fulfillment comes from their ability to perceive the world and the challenges it offers in a more original way. Given your current conjunction you'll need to be a little patient before you can hope to live the life of your dreams.

An ideal first two weeks to recharge your batteries

It is well known, summer is synonymous with relaxing, sharing and generally doing nothing! In the first half of August, you will take advantage of the good weather to take stock of your situation, and perhaps distance yourself a little from some of the many responsibilities you have.

You will reason that in order to feel serene when you contemplate your future you need clarity. And to achieve that a little focus seems necessary. By taking the time to have an honest look at the reality of your emotional, financial and professional situation, you will soon realize that there are many avenues for improvement available to you.

To accept change more openly, you'll be ready to explore previously unknown paths. A little bit of something new never hurt anyone!

Are you feeling some doubt?

The meeting of Saturn and Pluto is interesting, since it highlights two perfectly opposing states of mind. While the first of these planets extols the benefits of patience and self-sacrifice, the second emphasizes the importance of early decision making and action.

In the first half of August, you may find it difficult to cope with these two opposite energies and separate what's important from what's not. Why not seek the advice of your loved ones to try to get a clearer picture? You may find what they have to say helpful.

Full moon of August 08

By strengthening your relationship needs, this full moon is ideal if you want to enjoy special moments with the people you care about. When you're with them you'll feel full of good humor and the pleasure of sharing, especially since summer has always been particularly conducive for these things. Enjoying these basic human needs will give you the strength to calmly face the coming fall season.

A second two weeks that favors relaxing

Although you probably won't realize it immediately, this second half of the month will be an important step in the process of personal development that has been occupying your mind for some time. After the doubts at the beginning of August, it's time for clarity and optimism!

If you can be honest with yourself about your needs, it will soon become clear to you how life always unfolds over time. Despite the small changes you may be able to initiate now, it is in the long-term that you will choose to deploy your action. In fact, under the influence of Saturn, new long-term projects are likely to emerge.

They will allow you to consider your future even more serenely. There's no rush for you to act. Lots of small jumps are better than one giant leap, anyway.

Your love life helps you unwind

Of course, your love life will not be left out in August. Surprisingly, the doubts you've felt have actually helped strengthen the bonds that unite you with your long-term partner. And this is good because sharing, communication and respect are the strongest foundations for any lasting love story.

If you're single, a great love may not be for the immediate future. Consider how you could benefit from being single, for example by getting more involved in activities that are important to you.

New moon of August 23

In August, the new moon encourages you to step off the beaten track and become aware how routine can be a little paralyzing. To be able to fully exploit your potential, you need to be confronted as regularly as possible with new situations and unexpected environments. Under the influence of the Moon, your thirst for discovery will reach record levels. Don't be afraid to take the plunge!

What to remember in August

What can you expect from August? An awareness, an internal conflict — of moderate intensity — followed by a revolution. Centered around the Sun, Saturn and Pluto, the Cancer astral sky highlights the difficulties you will initially have in thinking serenely about the rest of this year.

Although you will probably feel the need to change certain aspects of your daily life, the fear of change is likely to take precedence at times. Fortunately, you will soon realize that you are not currently in a hurry to act and that the most judicious decisions are always made over a long period of time.

Paradoxically, it is by taking the time to shape your strategy step by step that your life project will move forward the fastest.

Important days this month

Your best day for Love : Friday, August 15

If you are in a relationship your astral climate is rather enigmatic. You may have a pretty unsettling day. Unlike single Cancers, who have fixed on settling down at all costs and are obsessed with a positive change to their situation, you'll be more preoccupied by the search for perfect harmony.

As Neptune makes your imagination run wild, you'll ask yourself a thousand and one questions about the merits of your relationship. You might go so far as to wonder if this is the person you want to grow old with. You are full of doubt. What's happening to you this August 15 to make you so uncertain about your future?

Your best day for Finance : Thursday, August 07

With regard to finances your astral climate looks very fruitful. This August 7, it seems your financial dreams match your reality and there may be people who are jealous of your ability to treat yourself to something special.

Your finances are stable and you are planning to buy yourself a little present. However, influenced by Mars, you don't forget about putting some money aside for less favorable days. And yes, although you like living in a dream world from time to time, when it comes to your money, you're wide awake!

Your best day for Work : Saturday, August 23

Today's astral climate could make you feel that work is mocking you. Today, Pluto will be delighted to show you all the possibilities that are available to you in relation to your career, which is more than enough to make you really want to make changes.

Saturn meanwhile is calling you to order and reminding you of all the mundane tasks you need to accomplish today, to fulfill your obligations in the job you're paid to do. Your desire to get transferred, start a new training course or create your own business might have to wait a little longer.

The month of August 2025 in detail

The week of July 28

You have every reason to be really enthusiastic about this week of July 28 to 3 August! The respective positions of Mars and Jupiter clearly indicate that from Monday you will feel on top form and more motivated than ever before to make the most of all the advantages in your current situation.

Even if you are currently in no hurry to act, you'll still be able to implement small changes if you feel they are necessary to your future well-being.

Like many Cancers, you have never been afraid of novelty and know how to recognize the most opportune moments to act. You'll have an active social life which will enable you to step back from your routine and think a little.

The week of August 04

In view of the planets present in the Cancer astral sky in this week of 4 to 10 August, the days to come will undoubtedly be full of action and movement. The meeting of Mars and Uranus is interesting in this respect, since it suggests that your well-being will largely depend on your ability to bring about change in your life.

Whether the issues you encounter are of a financial, professional or emotional nature, your core objective from Monday will be to try to influence the course of your destiny and push your projects forward.

Nevertheless, as indicated by the passage of Saturn above your head, patience will be necessary before you can expect advances. So be careful not to act too quickly on your decisions.

The week of August 11

The meeting of Mars and Neptune in the Cancer astral sky this week of 11 to 17 August is a very beautiful association. In the days ahead, don't be surprised to find yourself standing up for what you believe is right and refusing to let people walk all over you.

Even if your outspoken attachment to what you feel is right may surprise some people, you can consider it a proof that you are finally feeling good about who you are. All the same, be careful not to say things you don’t really mean and be tactful how you say what you do, otherwise you will create unnecessary waves around you.

This caution will also be particularly appropriate in the professional context, where excess is most definitely frowned on.

The week of August 18

It's hard to predict with certainty what this week of 18 to 24 August will be like for Cancers as the energies associated with Saturn and Pluto are so different. While the first planet clearly invites you to be patient and focus on your long-term goals, the second advocates for immediate pleasure and the benefits of giving in to impulse.

In this hard fought combat, it's difficult to know which will emerge victorious. So don't be surprised if you don't have a clear guideline in the days to come. But in the end, is this really a problem?

In life, sometimes you just have to let things go. It's pointless to think that human beings can master everything. And you are no exception to this rule.

The week of August 25

In view of the planets that will cross the Cancer astral sky in this week of 25 to 31 August, it is likely that your days will be full of action and initiative.

Under the influence of Uranus, you will want to take your courage in both hands and do your best to advance the projects that are important to you. Sometimes, however, you will tend to put the cart before the horse and as a result will get involved in projects that aren't really good for you.

Although movement is essential to your personal growth, it is important to move down paths that reflect your true expectations. This week, however, it will be important to you to get closer to your dreams. This is a great attitude.

The week of September 01

Even if astrology is primarily intended to deliver a positive and constructive message, it must also not close its eyes when a potential danger approaches. So be aware that the meeting of Uranus and Pluto in your sky is likely to be explosive.

During this week of 1 to 7 September, Cancers should therefore not be surprised to find it difficult to channel their impulses and their emotions properly. Under the influence of these two planets, you will be keen to move forward and make the changes you have been thinking about for several weeks now.

However, the impulsiveness you'll be subject to will almost certainly jeopardize the progress of your projects. In life, sometimes you have to accept the need to pull back, so you don't get your wings burned.
