An Astrologer’s Guide to August 2025’s Best Dates for Finding Love, First Dates & Sex
Don’t you wish you somehow knew the best time to go on a first date or when to put heels on in hopes of getting lucky!? Sure, there are times when you feel romantic, sexy, flirtatious, or even kinky, but that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone’s rolling with that vibe. And is there anything worse than going on a first date that you want to escape from 10 minutes in?
Dating is hard enough as it is, but if you know how to use astrology correctly, you can actually pinpoint the most fortuitous moments each month for dating, sex, and more.
The best part? You don’t need to know astrology! Because I’ve got you. We’re going to talk about the luckiest dates to find love if you’re single (or deepen it if you’re with someone), go on a first date, or have sex in August 2025. So, buckle up and let’s dive in to those important dates!
Sunday, August 10: Mars trine Pluto in Aquarius and Libra
Best for: sex
Ideal for: Aquarius rising; Libra rising; Leo rising; Aries rising; Gemini rising
This first date is juicy. Mars literally represents sex while Pluto represents the dark, taboo, and carnal parts of us that aren’t as socially acceptable. Plutonian examples might be: strip shows, porn, burlesque, or BDSM. But thanks to Mars’ fiery (and equally carnal) positive influence today, our sexy side is unleashed… and completely accepted. So, light some candles and get into it. Trust us, it’ll be transformative.
Tuesday, August 12: Venus conjunct Jupiter in Cancer
Best for: first date, any date, deepening connections, getting flirty, or going out
Ideal for: Everyone!
This isn’t just a great day for love, it’s actually one of the best days for love in 2025. This transit only occurs once a year, so it’s important to use it while it’s here! Venus signifies our deeper romantic connections and anything that Jupiter touches brings us luck and abundance. So, this is the luckiest day of the year for love.
If you’re single, make sure you’re getting out today — you might just meet the love of your life. If you’re partnered, try to give your relationship some extra time. You may just take the next step forward.
Saturday, August 23: Virgo new moon
Best for: first date
Ideal for: Pisces rising or Taurus rising
Virgo energy doesn’t always scream romance, but anytime there’s a new moon, there’s possibility for love to grow, no matter what sign it’s in. Virgo always has good intentions and is the sign of service. So, if you go on a first date, you have a great chance to be paired with someone genuine who will go above and beyond to make sure you feel taken care of. Always a good thing!
Tuesday, August 26: Moon in Libra; Venus trine Saturn + Neptune in Aries and Leo
Best for: deepening connections
Ideal for: Everyone!
Whenever the moon is in Libra, we’re all feeling a little more called to partnership. But mix the Libra moon with Venus in a positive connection to the longevity planet (Saturn) and the planet of artistry (Neptune), it just spells out a lovely time. Everyone is more likely to release control and start making long-term plans. If you have something to say, just lay it out on the table today!
Thursday and Friday, August 28 and 29: Moon in Scorpio
Best for: sex
Ideal for: Scorpio rising; Cancer rising; Taurus rising
As we mentioned before, Scorpio is the sign of sultry, saucy, and raunchy behavior. And when the moon is rolling through Scorpio, we have more of an emotional attachment to sex. So, today’s the day if you want to have sex for the first time with someone or just take things to the next level.
