Here’s today’s horoscope from the Canary – helping guide you through life, with a daily dose of lifestyle musings for our readers.

Your horoscope for Friday 8 August 2025

Aries ♈

The Virgo Moon in your horoscope demands practicality, which you treat like a personal attack. But today, it’s time to honour the mundane. Small acts of mutual care — cleaning the kettle, clarifying a rota — are revolutionary in a world that profits from burnout. You’re not losing steam — you’re learning to channel it where it actually counts.

Taurus ♉

Venus makes a subtle trine to Saturn in your horoscope, and your desire for comfort meets a wise constraint: not everyone gets to rest equally unless we fight for it. Today, make your peace luxurious and collective. Schedule a group breather. Share resources. You’re not being cosy — you’re radicalising rest. The revolution has tea breaks.

Gemini ♊

Mercury rules both your sign and Virgo, so your inbox may resemble a spreadsheet with feelings today. Tidy up your thoughts, but not into silence. Ask a clarifying question. Rewrite a messy policy. You’re not being pedantic — you’re democratising understanding. And if someone says “just vibes”? Offer a glossary.

Cancer ♋

The Virgo Moon in your horoscope highlights your sixth house of labour and care — and suddenly, you can feel every unpaid task weighing on your chest. Good. Name them. Log them. Suggest a task-sharing app that doesn’t gamify suffering. You’re not being petty — you’re surfacing invisible work. Put a name to the load.

Leo ♌

With the Moon leaving your sign, you might feel the post-party comedown — the realisation that sparkle doesn’t fix structure. Today, lend your shine to the unglamorous: filing systems, checklists, shared drives. You’re not downgrading — you’re dignifying the detail. It’s still leadership, just in lower case.

Virgo ♍

The Moon’s in your sign, and suddenly your “just trying to help” energy is going full spreadsheet. Slow down. Ask before fixing. Suggest communal design, not unilateral edits. You’re not being annoying — you’re offering scaffolding for change. Just make sure it’s consent-based scaffolding. No surprise flowcharts.

What’s in store with your horoscope today?

Libra ♎

Venus in Virgo in your horoscope has you polishing your politics — but beware of sanding off the sharp edges. Today, speak plainly. Refuse to euphemise harm. Balance is not neutrality; it’s justice with grace. You’re not being difficult — you’re naming the misalignment in tones others can hear. Make equity sound like a love song.

Scorpio ♏

Pluto’s subtle tension with the Virgo Moon urges you to dig where others dust. Today, you’ll spot the rot — the unspoken assumptions, the quietly eroding morale. Use your powers for repair. Don’t just diagnose — propose. You’re not being dark — you’re composting capitalist decay into fertile soil for something better.

Sagittarius ♐

Jupiter squares Mercury in your horoscope, and your grand visions are hitting nitpicky questions. Accept it. Today, go micro: annotate the policy, clarify the consent form, break the brilliant idea into shareable steps. You’re not shrinking — you’re scaling access. Liberation isn’t in the slogan; it’s in the detail that everyone understands.

Capricorn ♑

Saturn smiles upon you like a firm but fair line manager. Today, do your usual thing — but with care for the process, not just the result. Celebrate the team. Ask who hasn’t spoken yet. Suggest a reflection circle. You’re not softening your edge — you’re sharpening the collective’s ability to carry the load.

Aquarius ♒

Uranus quincunxes Mercury in your horoscope, and your anti-hierarchy ideals are clashing with practical communication needs. Today, innovate a format. Make a rotating note-taker. Try a “no boss” day. You’re not being chaotic — you’re prototyping flat structures with flexible form. Beta-test liberation like it’s open-source software.

Pisces ♓

Neptune diffuses boundaries — again — and the Virgo Moon tightens them. Your job today? Integrate. Be soft with yourself, structured with your offerings. Don’t fix everyone. Propose a shared check-out ritual. You’re not being vague — you’re offering rhythm in place of rigidity. The tide can also hold a timetable.
