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 Aquarius energy is about the future, community, and liberation from outdated stories.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.

Woman Cuts Parents Off After They Attend Former Stepdaughter's Wedding Instead of Her Baby Shower
"My family is calling me selfish and are accusing me of intentionally causing the conflict," she writes on RedditNEED TO KNOW A woman says her parents and brother are opting to attend her mom's former stepdaughter's wedding rather than her baby shower Now, the woman is debating whether or not to cut them off Commenters on Reddit, however, say the woman is being "petty"A woman says she wants to cut off her parents and brother after they opted to attend a wedding rather than her baby shower. In a post on Reddit, she explained that every year, "without fail," a girl named Ginger would join her and her family for a few weeks during the summer while growing up. Although her mom insisted that Ginger was their "sister," the poster always knew "that was impossible." She later found out that Ginger, who is three years older than her, is actually the child of her mom's former husband, who died. "When I was in middle school my mother finally explained who the girl, Ginger, really was," she writes. "Before she met my dad, she had married a man with a six month old daughter (yea you do the math—) and a year later he died of an aneurysm." "She had grown 'so close' to his daughter that her and the mom agreed that even though her dead husband was gone she could still see Ginger every summer for three weeks," she adds. When Ginger entered high school, she became more involved with their life, as her mom invited her over for visits and on vacation, which the poster says "was really annoying." "Worse yet she decided to go to a university in our state, and my parents helped her and her mom move closer to us, so now it felt like Ginger was always around," she explains. Fast forward to now, and Ginger is getting married — on the same date as the poster's baby shower. "My mom told me I could reschedule it and that Ginger's wedding was booked a year and half ago (really nice venue which my parents paid for— we have money, money has never been a struggle for us)," she writes, "but if I reschedule it I risk having the baby before I'm able to have the party." Now, the poster's family is calling her "selfish" and accusing her "of intentionally causing the conflict." "All of them (my father, mother, and brother who for some reason have always loved this stranger) have refused to come to my party," she writes. "So I told them they finally had to pick between the two of us." "My mom called me the devil, and my father told me he's ashamed at how I've come out," she adds. "I have no one on my side but I still do not feel like I am wrong. Ginger is not our family!!" The poster notes that her baby will be her parents' first grandchild, and if they aren't willing to put her above Ginger, then she plans on cutting them off entirely. "Ginger will have her whole family there but mine won't even make time for what's important to me," she adds. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human-interest stories. However, most Reddit users called the poster "jealous," and noted that she scheduled her baby shower on Ginger's wedding day, not the other way around. "Weddings take a long time to plan and the venue was no doubt booked before you even got pregnant," one user wrote. "Why was your shower scheduled for the same day as the wedding?" "You keep calling Ginger a 'stranger' but she's not are obviously extremely jealous of her relationship with your mother. Go to therapy," another added. In an update to the post, the woman revealed that she decided to go to therapy to address her "unresolved tensions regarding the subject of Ginger." She explained that she has "lived in a perpetual state of anxiety" ever since Ginger entered the picture, as it always "felt like a competition" between them. With that, she also has "chosen for now to close my relationship with my mother and father. I realize that a lot of my anger and resentment for this person is misdirected when my real feelings at their core is toward my parent." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Surprise: Your Oven Drawer Might Actually Be a Broiler
That mysterious drawer under your oven might seem like the perfect place to store baking sheets or those oddly shaped pans you rarely use, but it actually serves a more functional purpose. Depending on the model, that drawer could be a warming compartment designed to keep cooked food hot until it's ready to serve. It's a built-in feature meant to help with timing your meals, especially when you're juggling multiple dishes and trying to get everything on the table at once. Depending on your oven model, that drawer could be doing more than collecting clutter. In some units, it's a warming drawer meant to keep cooked food hot until you're ready to serve it. In others, it's a broiler drawer -- perfect for charring veggies or crisping up casseroles. And yes, in some cases, it really is just storage. If you've never checked your oven manual (or long since lost it), now's the time to find out what that drawer was actually designed to do. Now, if you're scratching your head thinking, "Wait, what?" don't worry -- you're not alone. Most of us have never opened the oven manual unless it was to fan a smoke alarm. But fear not! We're not about to assign homework. No dense instruction manuals here. We're breaking it down for you in plain, delicious terms. Here's how to decode your oven drawer's secret identity and how to use it without accidentally slow-roasting your muffin tins.

Depending on the type of oven you have, the drawer under the oven has different names. If there is a button on your oven labeled "warming drawer", that's what it's called, and can be used to keep food warm once it's done cooking. For Electric ovens, it may just be an actual storage drawer. In many older ovens, that bottom drawer is called a broiler, and can be used to cook or brown food like casseroles. If you aren't sure which of the three options you're dealing with, the easiest way to check is by looking at the manual for your oven, or looking it up online. Once you know what kind of bottom drawer your oven has, you'll know whether it has a cooking function, or it's just extra storage space. Does an oven storage drawer get hot? Broiler drawers are typically found on gas ovens and are very shallow. Chris Monroe/CNET The oven storage drawer is located at the bottom of your oven, and if it has a cooking function it can get hot. Is it a little complicated? Yes, but we've got you covered. Since the drawer is located under the main oven, it can easily get quite warm while your oven is in use. However, both broiling functions and warming functions require you to turn them on before anything gets hot. Even if your oven is currently being used, unless you turn on the broiler, your bottom oven drawer should never get hot. However, you may notice any pans stored down there are a bit warm to the touch, simply because they were close to the heating element when the oven was being used. What is the bottom drawer of an electric stove for? A storage drawer is usually much deeper than a warming drawer or broiler. Chris Monroe/CNET If there isn't a warming button and the area looks like a deep, empty drawer, then you probably have a storage drawer. As per a recent Reddit discussion, many people are unsure about what to keep in this space. This is a good place to store cast iron pots and pans, because the warmth from your oven will help keep them rust free. Just be sure not to store plastic items in this drawer, because they may become warped due to residual heat. Likewise, some older ovens have little insulation and may heat your metal cookware when the oven is on. As a precaution, always use oven mitts to remove cookware during or after your oven has been in use.

This Hidden Kitchen Spot Gets Filthy, but There's a Quick Hack to Fix It
Keeping your kitchen clean is a never-ending task, but there's one sneaky spot that loves to collect grime: the narrow gap between your stove and the counter. It's a magnet for crumbs, grease splatters and anything else that escapes your countertops -- and it's tough to clean without moving the entire stove. Since most of your cooking happens on the stovetop and nearby counter space, it makes sense that this area attracts debris. But ignoring it doesn't just look bad, it can also invite unwanted pests. The problem? Most of us avoid cleaning that tight space because moving the stove is a hassle (and let's be honest, kind of risky). Here's the good news. You can stop crumbs in their tracks and keep that hard-to-reach crevice just as clean as the rest of your kitchen with one kitchen staple: aluminum foil. No scrubbing, no lifting, no problem. Fore more kitchen upgrades, explore the best dishwashers, best washing machines and best refrigerators of the year. How to use aluminum foil to keep the stove gap clean CNET Measure the length of the gap between your stove and counter. Add about 4 inches to that number. Tear off a sheet of aluminum foil to match that length. Fold the foil strip in half lengthwise. Fold up the edges to create a shallow "boat" shape. No need for perfection. Just make sure the sides are high enough to catch spills. Gently slide your foil boat into the gap so it rests on the floor and stays out of sight. A fresh boat ready for floor-protecting duty. Alina Bradford/CNET That's it. Think of it like a mini drip tray for that tricky crevice. When it gets dirty, just toss it and replace it with a fresh one. It's a low-effort solution for a cleaner kitchen -- and one less mess to worry about. For more cleaning tips, explore how to wash your bedding the right way and how to clean your kitchen in less than 15 minutes.
