Weekly Horoscopes Aug 20-26
Mix up your magical elixirs and cleanse your spiritual grooves, astro babes. The Sun’s entry into Virgo this week marks a majestic moment for bowing at the altar of our beautiful bods and reconnecting to our rose-gold inner code.
Far from the hyper-organized, nervous archetype of patriarchal myth, Virgo energy is deeply witchy. A vessel and conduit for creative force that’s carefully channeled, Virgo is the self-possessed songstress embodied by the likes of Beyoncé and Florence Welch. In the Tarot, she’s symbolized by The Hermit card, and represents a precious pause in our unfolding journey where taking necessary retreat reminds us that nothing comes from scrambling or begging.
As the week culminates with the Full Moon in mystical fishy Pisces, it’s a moment for reassessing boundaries, and allowing ample time and space for sumptuous solitude and inner visions. As above, so below, Virgo reminds us, as we look around at the gorgeous world and see our own resonance in every fruit and lover we chose to cultivate. Take this week to reset the bones of your life, and repossess the wildness inside that can never be broken...

Magic Words:
Ritualized solitude empowers my self-expression.
Power Moves:
This is your time, sweet Virgo. With the Sun’s entry into your sign this week, treat it like a ritualized homecoming. Turn your phone on silent. Clear as much static and agitation from your schedule as possible, and plunge into the frequencies of your very own flesh and blood. You have absolute permission right now to move at exactly the pace that feels gorgeously aligned. Let any self-imposed deadlines simply dissolve, and retreat into a rhythm that feels seamless and sensual. You deserve nothing less than all the time in the world.

Magic Words: Glowing in the dark helps me to feel seen.
Power Moves:
As the Sun slides into your chart’s mysterious, Pisces-ruled bedchamber of this week, you’re being beckoned into your own deep end. As a cerebral air sign who longs to fly above the landscape to “figure it out,” this isn’t always the comfiest place for you. But trust that this exploration is leading you towards a new sense of being recognized that doesn’t come from external accolades or traditional success markers. Instead, it’s about connecting to an internal glow that happens in the shadows, behind-the-scenes, and that reminds you of the value of your work, with or without gold stars. Shine on, Libra, and claim your place without it having to be given.

Magic Words:
When I rise to meet the moment, the future falls into place.
Power Moves:
As the Sun invigorates your futurama chart zone, you’re moving far faster than the speed of light this week, Scorpio. Don’t even stop to consider this unfolding, sweet babe. Your penchant for diving beneath the surface isn’t needed right now, and you can simply skate along the sun-streaked skies, following the light trails of whatever is catching your eye. This is megawatt expansion, Scorpio, and it doesn’t need careful strategizing. Instead, it asks you to make like mercury and mutate to meet the moment. Every second gifts you the chance to claim victory.

Magic Words:
Letting the creative juice flow through me is my greatest force.
Power Moves:
With the Sun dancing into your chart’s self-sufficient kingdom this week, you may find yourself assessing your efforts, and exploring the gap between what you’ve created so far, and what you long to birth into being. Let this space live, Wild Pony. But remember that your secret superpower right now is simply opening wide to receive inspiration, rather than scrambling to grab it. This starts with some necessary quiet, so you can actually hear and feel the creative bursts that are already on their way to you. Close up your castle moat and retreat to your tower, Sag, as you watch the magenta-maned horses racing to meet you where you already are.

Magic Words:
When I summon my faith, my work simply unfolds.
Power Moves:
Dearest Cappy, the Universe is writing you a love letter this week, complete with pressed flowers and exquisite penmanship. As the Sun slides into your Sagittarius-ruled zone of wild faith and radical gambles, you’re being asked to question the belief that sweetness can only come on the other side of extreme sweat. What if you were available to the notion that you never, ever need to prove your right to anything, and that nothing even needs improvement? Consider yourself already safe and sound inside a circus performing harness, Cappy, and let yourself be fly from this sense of full support, even if you can’t see the wires.

Magic Words:
There is no shame in claiming exactly what I want.
Power Moves:
After a Leo Season spent exploring partnership and mirroring, you’re heading into some even deeper boudoirs of intimacy this week, Aquarius. But before you collide with another being, the cosmos is asking you to feel into your own animalistic desires, and to get right with your relationship to the urges that you sometimes stuff down. Consider your own libido, in all its flavors. Encompassing far more than just sex, our libido is our pulsating life force. Our right to create and claim a stake in this world. Where have you been resisting these kinds of claims, Aquarius? Reach out and grab exactly what you’re craving.

Magic Words:
Renovating my relationships refreshes my spirit.
Power Moves:
With the Sun entering your relationship surf and turf this week, you’re entering into a powerful season of heart work, dear Pisces. And this begins with closet cleansing some habitual grooves in partnership. Take on this renovation work like you would a dreamhouse construction. Gaze unflinchingly at the beams that need replacing, and the dust bunnies that need sweeping. But also envision the gorgeous new prints, patterns, and furniture you want to invite in. Know that there’s nothing to lose right now, only liberatory new levels of relationship expression that will have both parties feeling much more at home.

Magic Words:
The Universe is collaborating to support my inevitable blooming.
Power Moves:
As the Sun enters your zone of behind-the-scenes action, recent lessons about the limits of effort and willpower continue, little firestarter. But there’s a newfound sense of rest available, as you release into the understanding that you don’t have to be the sole force to push your life forward. Treat this week like a trip to the spa or woodsy getaway. Delight in the sense that everything outside of yourself, and inside of yourself on a cellular level, is collaborating to support you. The birds and the bees. The flowers and the trees. And your own bloodstream, Aries. Move to the rhythm of these oh so natural unfoldings.

Magic Words:
Finding the pause refires my passion.
Power Moves:
As the Sun powers up your sector of sequined showgirls, you’re entering into an exploratory season of figuring out how to apply your fuel. Sometimes you swing between complete inertia and mountainous movements, but this week gifts you the opportunity for something even juicier. Reconnect to your body’s innate knowledge and responsiveness. Tuck in for a sleep when the silken sheets are calling you. Eat some chocolate when it whispers your name. It’s a powerful time to warm yourself with your own fires without needing to immediately use them to light up projects outside of yourself. Let it feel like a full-on marshmallow roast, Taurus, as you celebrate the passion that’s for you and you alone.

Magic Words:
There are a million trapdoors out of the same old story.
Power Moves:
With the Sun’s entry into your Cancer-ruled zone of seashelled past lives and emotional security trunks this week, you’re skinny-dipping into some old storylines, Gemstone. Trust that the pull of the past can never pull you under though, and that anything that’s arising that feels like you’re “back in it” is actually reminding you of how far you’ve come. When you let yourself simply ebb and flow in these emotional waters without judgement or flailing, you can follow the current to a new shore, Gemini. You’re an Olympic swimmer, sweet butterfly. Let your wings help you float along the surface of every sensation.

Magic Words:
I am the radical inventress of my own experience.
Power Moves:
With the Sun’s entry into your Gemini-ruled zone of curious color splashes and street smart dance moves, you’re ripe and ready for innovation, Cancer. But if the sound of dramatic overhauls has you heading for the covers, trust that these don’t need to be sweeping changes. Start with the inner workings of your life at the micro scale. Notice the same old thoughts that buzz through your mind on the daily. The outfits you’re sporting that don’t make you feel 100% gorgeous. The foods you put in your body that don’t make your cells sing. The smallest stretches can support you in leaping towards the flow of epic transformations, piece by piece. Start by empowering yourself to shift the light just so.

Magic Words:
Divining the line between obsession and desire leads me to my true pleasure center.
Power Moves:
With the Sun starting its journey through your chocolate-box chart zone of second helpings, this is a week for exploring the line between treats that don’t truly nourish, and the deeper level of desire that feeds your expanding soul. You know the difference, glitter kitten. The things outside of yourself that you reach for compulsively, but which leave you hollow after the initial “hit.” You don’t have to quit cold turkey or beat up on yourself for these habits. Just slowly, languidly, stretch your cat paws towards the milks dishes that taste sweeter from beginning to end, and that support the sparkling being who is already full from the inside out.
