Yahoo18-07-2025
Hey starlights! We've officially reached midsummer—and welcome to Leo Season, where the warm rays continue to light up our hearts and souls. After last month's intense cosmic shifts (hello, Uranus entering Gemini and Saturn + Mercury retrograde—phew), August brings a bit more breathing room.
Let's get right to it and unpack what's cosmically brewing this month! Here are your August horoscopes for 2025 — and be sure to read for your sun and rising zodiac signs!
Scroll to see your restorative August horoscope for 2025 — & see which zodiac signs it'll be a breeze for this month!
We begin with Mars entering Libra on August 6, shifting our focus toward balance, fairness, and relationship dynamics. Over the next several weeks, discussions around equality, shared effort, and emotional reciprocity will be essential. In love, it's time to hash out what isn't working. With Mercury still retrograde, this is your chance to fine-tune communication and express your needs more gracefully.
Next, we arrive at a magical Full Moon in Aquarius on August 9. Aquarius energy is about the future, community, and liberation from outdated stories. If you've been feeling unsupported or stuck, this lunation will illuminate the shifts you need to make. The best part? Uranus (Aquarius' ruler) forms a Grand Air Trine with Mars and Pluto, helping you detach from the past and move forward with clarity. Expect divine downloads, intuitive sparks, and breakthrough ideas.
Then, sweet relief: Mercury goes direct on August 11 after three weeks of confusion, tech snafus, or misunderstandings. With Mercury still in Leo, your voice regains power. Rebuild your confidence, speak boldly, and trust that clarity is returning.
On August 22, the Sun enters Virgo, ushering in a season of grounded recalibration. Virgo energy supports healthy habits, inner clarity, and detail-oriented planning. It's a great time to declutter your space, refresh your rituals, and invest in your physical and energetic well-being.
The following day, on August 23, we greet the New Moon in Virgo at 0°—a rare and potent reset point. While this new moon is energetically clean and ripe with potential, it also forms a square to Uranus, which can bring sudden changes or distractions. If you can, hold off on manifesting or launching until a day or two later.
Finally, Venus enters Leo on August 25, ending the month with heat, passion, and radiant confidence. This is your moment to shine in love and magnetism. If you held back during the Virgo New Moon, today is your green light. Tap into your magick and manifest from the heart. Believe in your power—because it's time to let it all come to life.

Mesa County fairgrounds converted into a fire base camp for the Turner Gulch fire
MESA COUNTY Colo. (KREX)- The Turner Gulch fire continues to burn, pushed by red flag conditions that have made firefighting efforts challenging. The fire has now burned 24,945 acres, following almost a 5,000 acre growth overnight and is 49% contained. After the Mesa County Fair wrapped up, crews began transforming these fairgrounds into a base camp for firefighters battling the Turner Gulch fire. Northern Rockies Incident Management Team 2 Public Information Officer, Emily Ficker tells WesternSlopeNow more about the location of camp: 'Fairgrounds are a good location for an incident command post for a fire because they have the room that we need to be able to set up all of the things that we need. An incident is supported by finance, logistics, operations, ground support, public information and liaisons.' The location is ideal, with enough space, power, and internet to keep operations moving smoothly. Oftentimes, schools are used for fire bases but with Wednesday marking the first day of school in Mesa County, and the fire still active, planners knew a long-term option would be needed. On Wednesday, a pick-me-up took place at base camp– therapy dogs made a special visit to help boost morale for crews who've been working tirelessly. Many of the crew members have pets back at home that they miss, and were more than excited for the arrival of the dogs. Fire crews will remain staged at the fairgrounds as long as needed. Red flag conditions are expected to continue through the end of the week. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
