Star signs and cannabis strains: August 2025 horoscopes

Welcome to August, Stargazers. This month brings a mellow energy that encourages reflection, grounding, and slow growth. With Virgo season in full swing, it’s a good time to focus on the small things that bring peace: your daily rituals, mindful choices, and time spent in nature or in your favorite haze. Virgo’s practical energy blends well with cannabis for those seeking clarity, healing, or just a sense of routine that feels nourishing rather than restrictive.

As the month rolls forward, the skies hint at shifts on the horizon. Saturn is retrograde and prepares to re-enter Pisces on September 1st, marking the start of a deeper emotional journey that may already be stirring by late August. This shift can feel like a soft reminder to slow down and tune into your inner world. It’s okay if things don’t make immediate sense. Pisces energy invites patience and openness, not answers.

Though most of the heavy astrology lands in early September, it casts a long shadow through August. Uranus goes retrograde on September 6th, followed by a powerful Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 7th. These bring emotional and energetic tides that may already be felt as early as late August.

Expect dreams to be more vivid, intuition sharper, and social energies more fluid. Then, on September 21st, the New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo offers a clean slate—perfect for setting grounded intentions. August is best spent staying present, quietly preparing for what’s to come.
