Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Mess: Mercury’s Back, Baby

Weekly Horoscope: August 11–17, 2025

If the past few weeks felt like one long Mercury-induced game of telephone (but make it trauma-bonded), I’ve got good news: Mercury is turning direct. In Leo. With jazz hands.

This is your week to take the mic, rewrite your script, and actually say what you meant to say back in mid-July before Mercury decided to go on an unplanned vacation through your frontal lobe. But don’t just blurt it out—this week’s astrology hands you both the script (Mercury in Leo) and the stage (Mars in Libra), with a backup choir featuring Venus, Jupiter, and a surprise cameo from Saturn and Uranus.

The Wasteland, the Wound, and the Full Moon in Aquarius: Parsifal’s Wake-Up Call

Let me set the scene.

There’s a kingdom in ruins. The crops won’t grow. The people are demoralized. The rivers have stopped singing. The land is dry, the sky is silent, and even the knights are starting to get sarcastic.

And no one models this paradox better than Steve Harrington from Stranger Things. Yes, the guy who started as a hair-flipping high school heartthrob and evolved into the most unexpected, emotionally intelligent monster-slaying babysitter in television history. Steve is what happens when Mars — the planet of action, drive, and aggression — is forced to fight on Libra’s Venus-ruled turf.

Strategic AF: The Astrology of August 4–10 Will Make You Rethink Every Move

Welcome to a week where charm is a weapon, strategy is a survival skill, and emotions get filtered through power suits and spreadsheets. The astrological forecast for August 4–10, 2025, is anything but subtle—especially with Mars, the celestial instigator, front and center in Libra. That’s right, the planet of action has traded in his battle axe for a courtroom briefcase and a killer smile. But don’t get too comfortable—behind the charm offensive is a real test of willpower, patience, and emotional maturity.

Venus in Cancer: When Love Feels Like Home and Fights Like Hell

Let’s get real—Venus in Cancer is not here for surface-level connections, one-night stands, or curated Instagram romances. No, this is love with depth, emotion, and a tendency to cry over old Polaroids. Venus in Cancer doesn’t fall in love. She remembers her way into it.

The Pain of Being Overlooked: Chiron Retrograde, Cain, and the Fire You Buried
