Your Weekly Horoscopes: August 31 to September 6, 2025

Scheduling shakeups leave you with more free time than you had planned this week. In some cases, these delays are good—the pressure is off and you have more time to prepare. But you’re also not sure where to put all that extra energy, and a normal day off may turn into furiously cleaning and reorganizing your house. If your “down time” has you feeling overwhelmed, consider blowing off some steam at the gym.

This week’s mantra: “Pressure.”

You’ve been planning for a big purchase, and get a lovely surprise this week when it’s suddenly on sale. Now you get to make the purchase with confidence. But what are you going to do with those extra funds: save or treat yourself? You may also want to invest that money into experiences with friends or building community, and this week gives you some options for expanding your reach.

This week’s mantra: “Save.”

This summer’s Mercury retrograde in Leo derailed so many of your best laid plans, and this week, it feels like you’re finally getting back on track. Your ruling planet Mercury enters Virgo on the 2nd, and you start making progress on home projects that were abandoned back in July. Though you lost some momentum, you’re also coming back to the work with clearer insight and more inspiration.

This week’s mantra: “Progress.”

This week brings a shift in perspective that allows you to let go of something you’ve been stubbornly hanging onto for way too long. Keeping the dream alive was a useful coping mechanism for a time, but you’re clearer now and ready to move on. Part of this shift comes from releasing the pressure you’ve put on yourself for success and recognition from a boss or mentor. Time to get back to trusting in your own intuition.

This week's mantra: “Trust.”

A sudden change of plans this week is at first disappointing but also gives you free time to pursue other opportunities. Whether it’s a cancelled date, missed job interview or postponed party, use the resulting free time to make a literal or figurative vision board. This is also a great week to look at your finances and budgeting, and get into some nitty-gritty details to make better spending choices. After overcoming financial strain, it’s time to clean up the mess.

This week’s mantra: “Order.”

After months of being offline and out of touch, you’re coming back to yourself again this week. Your ruling planet Mercury enters your sign on the 4th bringing a renewed vitality and sense of self. The isolation you experienced this summer was difficult but necessary for healing and finding peace, but now you’re getting shocked back into action. There are opportunities to be seized, contracts to be signed and commitments to be made. 

This week’s mantra: “Go.”

A travel or education opportunity that you’d previously classified as a pipe dream becomes shockingly possible this week. You turn everything you touch into something beautiful, and you’re learning that it’s worth investing in knowledge and mentorship. Keep expanding your mind. What’s missing right now is the resources that would make a big dream into a reality. This week is a great time to put your head down and make some extra cash to put toward something that excites you.

This Week's Mantra: "Expand."

An unexpected freelance gig or investment opportunity falls into your lap this week. Sometimes the answer to life’s stickiest problems really is trusting the universe. That being said, this week could also bring an unexpected expense that has that cash going out as quickly as it came in. Let your friends know that you’re looking for more gigs and collaborations so that the next offer won’t miss you.

This week’s mantra: “Grow.”

If you’re single, this week could bring a random date that turns out to be an excellent match. Or if you’re casually dating, your summer fling could turn into something more. Or you might unexpectedly break things off with someone who felt comfortable but stagnant. Agreements are made and broken this week, and for you, this is about having more freedom to explore. Why follow everyone else’s rules when you can make your own?

This week’s mantra: “Wing.”

At the last minute, you get out of a work assignment or obligation this week, and are left with more free time than you’ve had in months. Instead of driving yourself crazy trying to be “extra productive,” why don’t you let yourself dream instead? Pick up that book you put down earlier in the summer. Research that grad school program. Plan your fantasy vacation to Japan. 

This week’s mantra: “Dream.”

This week brings some unexpected developments on the dating or creativity front. If you’ve been lacking inspiration, this could bring a burst of new ideas, options and inputs. What once felt limiting is feeling a lot more like freedom. At the same time, you’re also feeling anxious about financial matters. You’ve learned so many money lessons over the last few years. How can you build better systems while being kind to yourself?

This week’s mantra: “Build.”

Saturn—planet of discipline and structure—returns to your sign on the 1st. Since late May, you’ve been relieved of some heavy personal responsibilities, but now the pressure is back on. You may feel this burden in your body so make sure you’re eating well, sleeping enough, and (most importantly) staying committed to your skincare routine! What feels like a hard test right now will result in a major glow up in a few months. Try to accept your limitations and don’t push yourself too hard.

This week’s mantra: “Sculpt.”
