Weekly Horoscopes Aug 13-19
Open your scrapbooks to the sunlight and plan your ultimate playlists, astro babes. This week in the cosmos invites us to own our stories, and soften towards everything that threatens to shut us out and keep us down.
The tone is set by the recent Leo New Moon Solar Eclipse, retrograde Mars’ entry into Capricorn, and Mercury in Leo stationing direct, all urging us to claim the right to our kingdoms. Taking “ownership” can sometimes leave us feeling like we have to go hard in our efforts for control. Get over it and get on with it already. But little Leo’s fluffy pawprints remind us that the radical acts of rulership occur when we show up in our fullest, messiest sparkle, breathlessly beautiful and utterly in process. And Capricorn’s self-sufficient majesty urges us onwards for the long haul, with the knowledge that our hardwon experience is the ultimate badge of honor.
So unclench your muscles and commit to melting your own heart in the face of the seemingly undoable and unfeelable. Stepping into the center of your softness is your superpower, and your story is far from over...

Magic Words:
I have the right to decide what’s really sweet.
Power Moves:
This birthday month has brought you all flavors of cake, Leo, and the ultimate lesson lies in learning which really resonate with the nectar of your soul. With Mars tracking through your Virgo-ruled zone of discernment and decision-making, you’re being invited to consider where you’ve been spilling your sparkles at the expense of your integrity, and what you are choosing to bring your precious presence to. Though we are infinite beings who will likely incarnate again and again, you’ve got one shot in this particular bod, glitter kitten. Commit to dressing it in the finest frocks and only showing up for exactly what matches your sweetness and shine.

Magic Words:
Plunging into my deep end restores my spirit.
Power Moves:
With your most tropically creative and profoundly aquatic sectors activated by the Moon and Mars this week, it’s time for a little beach vacay of the spirit, Virgo. Douse yourself in coconut scents and slips a blossom behind your ear, as you commit to plunging into the unseen world. This starts with softening your gaze and releasing your to-do list in the service of much subtler whispers and wanders. Take a spontaneous nap. Commit to undoing the laces and belt buckles that box you in and keep you from fully breathing. Remember that you have the right to your inhale and exhale, and that even these small movements contain reservoirs of infinite wisdom.

Magic Words:
There is nothing inside of me that is bigger than me.
Power Moves:
With the New Moon echoing through your Aquarius-ruled zone of futuristic unfolding, and Mars tracking through your arena of Cancer-ruled roots, this week’s mashup is a powerful recipe for emotional perspective. Notice the urges you try to shut down or shun. Your concept of where you are and where you think you should be. Softening your notions of forward and backward, growth and regression, will help you to be where you are without judgement. Trust that when you commit to smoothing and soothing any self assessment, there’s no feeling or thought that can arise inside of you that can take you over without your permission.

Magic Words:
I have every right to walk in beauty.
Power Moves:
As the New Moon and Mars echo through your Capricorn and Gemini-ruled zones of winged movement and magic wands, this is a sequin-studded week for reclaiming your ringleader status, Scorpio. Your process of “owning” it right now means meeting up with your own magnetism and claiming the right to walk through the world with a trail of gold glitter in your wake. Notice your powerful effect on people and situations. How you can change the laws of gravity with a glance and a simple redirection of your heartbeat towards whatever you’re craving. Trust that your style and flair can steer your ship.

Magic Words:
My right to the throne lies in claiming the space beneath my feet.
Power Moves:
As New Moon and Mars energy infuse your zones of wild faith leaps and steady ground, you are completely held right now, Sag. This is trust fall time, and it’s the perfect moment to feel into any parts of your life where you’ve been holding back or holding on before releasing into the arms that await you. Suss any grippy spots where you’ve been staunchly defending your turf because you fear it’s going to be ripped away from you. Treat your life like a trampoline, and summon the ultimate belief in both the takeoff and landing.

Magic Words:
I move at the speed of my emotional barometer.
Power Moves:
As the New Moon makes magic in your Scorpio-ruled zone of deep down feels, and Mars retrograde enters your sign, this is a delicious week for synching up your speed with your most private sensations, Cappy. Know that the only pacing you need to heed comes from your own, internal clock. As an astro babe who’s capable of taking on more than the rest of us mere mortals, check in with where you might need to check out. This is about much more than taking a mere break from the action. Commit instead to completely rewiring your approach, and learning that intuitive movement is a right and not a privilege.

Magic Words:
Honoring my relationship evolution lets me tend to my tenderness.
Power Moves:
As the New Moon activates your partnership polarity zone, and Mars slides into your Pisces-ruled surrender seas, you’re being invited to get even more vulnerable and squishy this week, Aquarius. And while this is certainly not your factory setting, use this time to think back on how much you’ve grown in your partnerships, both romantic and otherwise. And honor moments of triumph, however small, where you chose to soften instead of harden. Shared a feeling instead of stuffed it. You are allowed to be in process, sweet babe. You are allowed to keep learning. Sharpen your pencils and commit to staying in the summer school of the heart.

Magic Words:
When I stay present to the process, every loss is a find.
Power Moves:
With your Virgo and Aquarius-ruled zones sparked by this week’s transits, you’re being asked to stay close to the ground Pisces, and look for secret signs and signals to light your way forward. After some recent releases and shifts in emotional patterning, you’re coming alive again, and you’re learning that there really aren’t any losses at all. Everything simply gets repurposed, and finds new shapes and habitats. Remember the snakeskins you’ve shed this week, but also stay present for the brand new shimmering colors that are emerging. Move towards them like an Emerald City on the horizon.

Magic Words:
Remembering that I’m irreplaceable leads to creative glory.
Power Moves:
With your zones of potency and majesty ignited by this week’s transits, this is a critical moment for releasing your need to defend your turf, firestarter. All summer long, you’ve been in a mastery with this concept, as your ruler, Mars, has traveled retrograde, and this week finds you fully realizing that you can’t, and don’t want to, do battle to protect your concept of self any longer. You are wilder than that Aries, and you are 100% irreplaceable. No one can take what’s yours because no one can show up to fill your moon booties, firebrand. Let this knowledge unclench your jaw and unlock your heart.

Magic Words:
Honoring my urge for comfort doesn’t keep me from my growing edge.
Power Moves:
You’ve been in a mastery all year with the concept of change and constancy, and this week’s transits hit your zones of tucked-in seashells and gambling roadtrips in epic fashion. Know that you can have it all Taurus. You can relish your high school graduation and still push yourself onwards to what awaits. You can hit the open road surrounded by the comfort of prized possessions and lifelong besties. There’s no reason you have to grip to the past, or trash it in favor of the future. You are a swirl of time and space, and you can trust your own flavor of fuel as you travel your path at exactly the right pacing for you.

Magic Words:
My life force flourishes in both the light and the dark.
Power Moves:
As this week’s transits activate your Gemini and Scorpio-ruled zones of fluorescent growth lights, it’s a glow-in-the-dark week for getting curious about absolutely everything. There are creative gifts and treats around literally every corner, and you’re asked only to show up with your eyes open and your palms lifted to catch these sensations on your lashes and tongue. Be particularly attentive to relationships, and how even battles with beloveds can become powerful learnings in humanness. Let challenging emotions and vulnerabilities pave the way to treasured discoveries about what you and those you love value most.

Magic Words:
When I release my heart’s grip, I can catch all the butterflies.
Power Moves:
With this week’s transits activating your Venus-ruled arenas, this is a love lit week for exploring partnerships and pleasure in all their incarnations, Little Mermaid. And this starts with what you’re willing to give to yourself. How do you show up in sweetness for your own wishes and desires? And how has your extension towards others depleted some of this solo honeypot? Notice moments when caring for someone else stems from the scrambling sense that you have to do more to be loved more. Other than simply letting your heart beat, there is literally no task you need to perform to render yourself worthy of affection and adoration.
