In this August 25 daily horoscope, Bustle's resident astrologer Mecca Woods, the founder of My Life Created, shares the astrological events happening today that will affect every zodiac sign. Below, here's a look at how astrology will affect our lives today.

The Moon moves into freedom-loving Sagittarius early this morning, which could have us feeling a bit restless and eager to get out and about or try something new. However, with the Moon squaring off with the Sun in pragmatic Virgo by the afternoon, we're pushed to be a bit more pragmatic too and encouraged to channel our energy into things related to our work or well-being.

With analytical Mercury in Virgo teaming up with innovative Uranus in Taurus by midday, we get the flash of insight or creativity needed to effectively solve problems or to update our methods for getting things done. Hint: It's best to keep things as simple as possible now.

By the evening, love planet Venus in community-oriented Cancer teams up with bountiful Jupiter in Capricorn, reminding us to keep the goodwill going today by being generous with others where we can or being open to receiving support from others. By late tonight, when the Moon in Sagittarius meets up with wounded Chiron in Aries, we're called to seek out the things that inspire and uplift us.

Read below to see what the stars mean for your zodiac sign today, and make sure to check out your August 2020 monthly horoscope.

You might be more in the mood for playtime today than work but duty calls. If you've been looking to go in a new direction with your career, you're given a green light. Put the effort into your dream.

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

Today, you're reminded to focus on the good things you have going for you, rather than worrying about the past or things you can't change. Romantically, things could heat up, if you're open to it. Let yourself go.

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

Margaret Flatley/Bustle

Others could be a little too demanding of you today. As such, you'll need to guard your energy. Trust your intuition now, since it will be spot-on. Take time out to care for your well-being. The world can wait.

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20)

Margaret Flatley/Bustle
