Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Scorpio, August 28, 2025

Moon transiting Scorpio, Thursday, August 28th, fuels your desire and the determination to do what it takes to fulfill that desire, as the moon forms a Grand Square aspect pattern with Venus in Leo, Chiron in Aries, and Pluto in Aquarius, and a sextile aspect with the sun in Virgo. Jupiter, the planet of abundance and growth, in the symbiotic water sign of Cancer squares Mars in relationship minded Libra, and squares Chiron in self-determined Aries, while Chiron is trine to the sun and trine to Mercury in ardent Leo, indicating that the person with the stronger desire in any kind of overture or negotiation can influence and convert the other to align with their passion or plan. The fixed sun signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius may feel more of the intense drive and motivation to lock someone or something into their lives securely, but no matter what your sun sign might be, today’s intensely passionate, magnetic, and willful moon activates not just the area of your chart containing Scorpio energy, but all four corners of the Grand Square bringing pressure to bear. Whatever you choose to say or do can impact multiple areas of your life simultaneously, and then the Cradle aspect pattern involving Venus, Pluto, Uranus in Gemini, and Saturn conjunct Neptune in Aries grabs the ball of energy the Grand Square is bouncing and aims it toward the hoop of change and realization of a dream. You may spend some time today working through the process of analyzing your circumstances and cataloging your dislikes to get to the core of what you truly desire. Having enough of what has become intolerable or painful can light the warrior fire of Chiron in Aries, burning off negativity and directing the Chiron potential for healing toward Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, in courageous and creative Leo, and the sun in problem-solving Virgo, shining in the area of life in your chart which is most in need of clarification and attention. Will you encounter ease once you know what you really want? Probably not, but you will have the energy and passion to work hard or fight for it. “The only difference between a casual interest and a deep desire is the latter inspires a willingness to endure struggle.” — Jennifer Williamson. I read somewhere that the power of Scorpio’s ruling planet, Pluto, is like a cannonball, or lava, which both feel like a condensed concentration of extreme intensity to me. Today, the Scorpio moon gives you the power to condense your intensity into a concentrated force which can magnetize who or what you desire, if you will it so.
