Weekly Horoscope: August 23-29

See what the stars have in store for you.

August 24, 2020

Emotions will be heightened with this weekly horoscope as a result of miscommunications. If we take a minute to evaluate our actions and reactions to the melodramatic situations around us, we’ll be mindful of others' feelings as well as our own. Instead of popping off when confronted with drama, opt for peace, love, and understanding. Always choose love and compassion.

Virgo
August 23 - September 22
Opening your mind to exciting possibilities will help you elevate your vision. You’ll want to start a creative project with friends for charity, in an effort to raise money for a cause that’s near and dear to you all. In fact, you’ll be so successful with this project that you will want to take it global through Etsy or another online store. Be ready to get busy, Virgo! Your artistry and generosity is helping, motivating, and enlightening others. You deserve a trophy for your kindness, altruism, and selflessness this week. You’re simply the best.
2/12
Libra
September 23 - October 22
This week, you’re giving all of your energy to a situationship that has lost its luster and is not working out to its full potential. The sentimental and tender texts have turned into dramatic arguments. Due to the recent turn of events, it’s important for you to take a step back from this relationship. Read into the red flags. You’re finding out who they are by their actions, which you aren’t vibing with. Focus on finding someone who is worth your effort and time. You’ll find someone soon who makes your heart feel warm and fuzzy — without the drama.

3/12
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
You’re activating your inner sleuth and detective skills to investigate your new IG crush. But, you don’t want to be the one to find out the tea, so you are enlisting the help of your trusty BFFs. Drama will ensue as a result of your paranoia and inability to believe the truth of their findings. The lesson to be learned is that you shouldn’t ask your friends to spy for you. Don’t make your friends do the dirty work for you. If you want to do some investigating, do it yourself.
4/12
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
Always one to speak your mind, you often don’t practice what you preach. Others may feel like the rules you set for them don’t apply to you. Your inability to take notice of your actions is having an impact on your friendships. Take a step back and evaluate their feelings from a different lens. You’ll find that they’re right. You do get overly fanatical without following through with the boundaries you set on your end. Behave as you want others to. You have to learn that it’s important to adhere to the limits you create. Also, no one likes a hypocrite.

5/12
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
Love is on your mind now, which is making you want to commit to your crush before getting to know them. Make sure you have a few FaceTime dates and share a social distancing walk before you give your heart away. It’s important to know if you have chemistry IRL and share a flirty banter when you talk on the phone. If not, then it’s time to find someone new who can entice your heart more than them. If you find that you have a lot in common with your boo, then run towards the relationship and don’t look back.
6/12
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
School’s back in session and you’re excited to start your new classes. The caveat is that you’re finding that it’s hard to shift back into your old school schedule after a long summer break. You are staying up late, which is making you oversleep and fall asleep during classes. Rather than drink three mochachinos to stay awake, make sure you get some decent shut eye. Regimenting your days will ensure and secure your peppy attitude. You won’t have meltdowns from being exhausted 24/7 and need cat naps every few hours throughout the day. Plus, you can stay alert in classes.

7/12
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
You’re a sensitive person, which means that you can pick up on the energies that surround you. Even if you’re feeling good, your mood can shift as a result of the vibe that’s in the room with you. Weekly words of wisdom: Pay attention to who’s in your orb. You may be picking up on their energy (which isn’t necessarily high vibe) and it’s draining you. Try to not let them affect you. Disconnect immediately from those who aren’t heightening your vibe. Once you detach, you will totally feel the shift within. You’ll feel energetically lighter within minutes.
8/12
Aries
March 21 - April 19
Although it’s not quite cozy season, you’re finding cool ways to keep yourself inspired at home. It may come as a surprise to you that you’re becoming an amazing cook (after watching Selena Gomez on Selena + Chef). This will lead to a few flavorful adventures in the kitchen with family and friends. But, hey, if Selena can do it — so can you! Just make sure your ingredients are “mise en place” (a culinary term meaning everything in its place”) before you start this exciting new endeavor as a top chef.

9/12
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
Just like Gretchen Wieners from Mean Girls, you’re a really good friend. Well...minus the backstabbing and secret spilling. But, like Gretchen, sometimes you don’t get a lot of cred from your crew. This week, you’re feeling blue knowing that your pals aren’t showering you with TLC for your unwavering loyalty. The frustrations over not being appreciated by your friends will result in a salty exchange of words at them (which you don’t mean) as a way of acting out. Be real. Let them know how you feel. They will give you more attention for always being awesome to them.
10/12
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
An extrovert by nature, you’re wanting to be more introverted this week — mostly because you want to be able to express your views without judgement from others. You are tired of having arguments with random trolls over politics on social media, which is why it’s time to set your accounts to private. Then, you can tweet, post, and say whatever you want and not feel as though you’re being criticized. And, you can control who you communicate with. Create this safe space for yourself on the internet. Enjoy your shade-free social media life. Goodbye haters, see ya later!\

11/12
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
You’ve been feeling a little lonely lately and lost in your feels. Instead of self-isolating, try aligning yourself with a higher purpose to make yourself feel fulfilled. Reach out to your friends and local community to organize and volunteer at a humanitarian endeavor in your neighborhood. You will feel better from being a part of something bigger than yourself while working alongside your bestie. Having a voice through philanthropy will make you feel seen and appreciated, which is what you long for now. And, it will make you be more social by taking you out of seasonal self-hibernation.
12/12
Leo
July 23 - August 22
There’s a storm a-brewin’ within your circle of friends. The issue is that you’re all oversharing information and secrets that weren't meant to be repeated — some of which may be shady about your friends and yourself. The messiness can be avoided if you create boundaries with your crew. If you let your friends know that you don't want to be involved in hearing what people have said behind your back, then you can escape the turbulence that will shift your way when they throw you under the bus and repeat what you said.
