HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, August 22, 2025.The first day of VIRGO season is here. While LEO season invited us to party and play, VIRGO season preps us to make the transition from summer to autumn. We may be making back-to-school plans, easing back into a daily routine, or getting our fall wardrobes ready. However, with today marking the end of the week, many of us might also be seeking to squeeze out every last little bit of summer left. That said, tomorrow’s new moon makes for a better time to start new projects, execute plans, and set ourselves up for success.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Your health and well-being are highlighted now. Aside from nourishing your body, a fun outing is also a good option for self-care.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

You need to get back in touch with your playful side. Revisit a hobby or an interest you used to love as a kid.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

It might be time for a conversation regarding your home or family. Perhaps it’s a heart-to-heart or a plan you’ve been trying to get off the ground.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

Money matters continue to be a focal point, but this time, you may finally have some solutions or at least have someone you can talk to about it.

LEO (July 23 to Aug 22)

If you feel the need to treat yourself to something, you may need to consider what’s actually within your budget and hold yourself to it.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22)

Your birthday season has arrived, but you may be more in the mood for rest and relaxation than a full-on party. Respect your need for a retreat.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22)

No matter how quickly you’d like to get a certain result, know that things take time. Surrender control and allow life to unfold on its own.

Networking and community-building may be the keys to a successful career or a productive day ahead.

You’ve got a lot of responsibility on your shoulders and many things you want to achieve. Identify the resources that can help you.

PISCES (Feb 19 to March 20)

It’s the perfect evening for a romantic date with your partner or a potential love match.

FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

You’re meticulous, thoughtful, and deeply devoted to making things better than how you found them. You’re constantly working to improve yourself. However, appreciating the person you are now instead of getting too hung up on a future version of yourself can better support your well-being. As someone who cares about those around you, you believe in helping others and often go out of your way to do it. But this year asks you to take a step back from all you’ve accomplished and get more comfortable doing as little as possible.

Birthdate of: Dua Lipa, singer-songwriter; Kristen Wiig, actress/comedian; Bill Parcells, retired football coach.
