Your horoscope for Tuesday 5 August 2025

Aries ♈

The Gemini Moon has your brain on fast-forward, but not everything that moves quickly is useful (see: late-stage capitalism). Today, pause before launching into action. Ask questions. Listen harder. Propose a group brainstorm that actually includes the quieter folks. You’re not losing momentum — you’re building direction. Energy + intention = transformation.

Taurus ♉

Venus semi-squares the Moon, and your craving for calm may clash with the chaos of change. Don’t dig in your heels — reframe stability. Today, suggest a shared decision log. Organise the snacks. Build comfort into disruption. You’re not resisting evolution — you’re grounding it. The revolution needs a kettle and a cosy chair.

Gemini ♊

The Moon is in your horoscope and your ideas are flying faster than most can file them. But today, rather than spraying thought confetti, pick one and plant it. Pitch the collective podcast. Write the zine draft. You’re not being inconsistent — you’re exploring pluralism. Just make sure it has footnotes.

Cancer ♋

Mercury squares your ruler the Moon, and communication feels scratchy. Don’t retreat into your shell — invite clarity. Today, start with a feeling and translate it into a boundary. Suggest a check-in. Rename “wellness” as justice. You’re not being moody — you’re modelling care with accountability. Soft doesn’t mean silent.

Leo ♌

The Sun trines Neptune in your horoscope, and you’re glowing with the urge to inspire. Channel it wisely. Today, don’t centre yourself — centre the story. Highlight a colleague’s unsung effort. Share a movement win. You’re not relinquishing power — you’re redistributing the spotlight. And if you must be dramatic, make it communal.

Virgo ♍

Mercury’s clarity boosts your usual ability to organise chaos — but beware: overfunctioning is not a love language. Today, co-create systems instead of enforcing them. Ask who’s missing from the table. Don’t fix the group — facilitate it. You’re not being critical. You’re reminding everyone that care is a verb, and it scales.

What’s in store with your horoscope today?

Libra ♎

The Moon trines Venus in your horoscope and you’re tempted to keep everything smooth. But harmony without honesty is just aesthetic compliance. Today, invite beautiful disagreement. Curate a safe debate. Suggest “gentle confrontation hours” (with biscuits). You’re not being conflict-averse — you’re building the trust to disagree and stay in the room.

Scorpio ♏

Pluto opposes the Moon and the secrets are starting to smell musty. Time to air them out. Today, be the one who names the unnameable — gently, not with a flamethrower. Suggest an anonymous feedback box. Invite collective reflection. You’re not destabilising the team — you’re making it honest enough to grow.

Sagittarius ♐

Jupiter sextiles Mercury in your horoscope, gifting you with the ability to translate the big picture into shared purpose. Use it. Today, start the reading group. Host a lunchtime “What If?” session. Turn vision into verbs. You’re not just a dreamer — you’re a mapmaker. Let others hold the compass, too.

Capricorn ♑

Saturn’s in a mood — and so are you. Your instincts for responsibility are clashing with your desire to clock off just this once. Do it. Delegate the rota. Take a half day. Today, redefine leadership as making space, not taking charge. You’re not abandoning the mission — you’re avoiding martyrdom.

Aquarius ♒

Uranus quincunxes the Moon, and your genius ideas might feel… underappreciated. Instead of pitching up, pitch across. Today, form a micro-collective. Try that experiment with two allies. Revolution doesn’t need permission — just traction. You’re not being rebellious — you’re prototyping the future in miniature. And it’s working.

Pisces ♓

Neptune floats with the Sun in your horoscope, blurring the line between imagination and application. Today, draw a boundary. Not every vibe is yours to hold. Channel your intuition into design: propose a new ritual, a creative check-in, an arts-based evaluation. You’re not drifting — you’re re-enchanting the everyday. Just label your magic clearly.
