Weekly Horoscopes July 30-Aug 5
Undo your laces and slip into something more comfortable, astro babes. After last week’s back-to-the-future Lunar Eclipse electricity, we’re assessing the aftershocks of sudden revelations, and sifting through the snapshots of all our past lives. This week’s Taurus Waning Moon slows the pace, and asks us to trust that our powerful presence is enough to move the mountains that need shifting.
Like all of the “fixed” signs, Taurus energy is connected to desire, security, and the right to feel good in our bodies right here, right now. Representing the fullest flower of their respective seasons, these grounded cosmic kittens sink their toes into the sand and their teeth into the chocolate cake, asking us to receive the full-bodied sensation of being alive.
A delicious challenge covered in rose petals, this week wants you to sit through any sense of scrambling and trust in the R&B jams that don’t need to be chased. Magnetize the magic, astro babes, and let the honey roll in...

Magic Words:
The pull of the past isn’t enough to pull me under.
Power Moves:
With this Moon activating your Capricorn-ruled zone of self-sufficient wilderness survival, you may feel pressured to step fully into the spotlight and seize all the sparkles your arms can hold. But the shift of pacing in this arena is actually inviting you to dive far beneath the surface to swim with some of the shadow aspects that keep you grasping for more accolades and acknowledgement. Get curious about this endless feedback loop, and where you feel caught on the treadmill of gold stars that are granted from the outside in instead of the inside out. Notice where there’s tenderness that springs from perceived past “failures” and know that integrating these, and dissolving the line between winning and losing, will truly catapult you to your power place.

Magic Words:
Allegiance to my wildness is my only philosophy.
Power Moves:
With the Moon sliding through your Sag-ruled zone of upgraded credos and gambling faith, you’re being invited to strip down to your animalism and recapture your internal sense of adventure. This starts with giving your body and mind exactly what they are asking for, regardless of what this looks like to the outside world. When is the last time you answered only to your appetite, Virgo? This can be as subtle as leopard print, or as emboldened as primal solo screams. Just know that you’re being invited to channel this first and foremost for your own altar. “Re-wilding” yourself reminds you that you cannot be tamed by anything or anyone, and that you owe allegiance only to the blood that courses through your own veins.

Magic Words:
Flipping the lights on my fears reveals unexpected treasures.
Power Moves:
You’re being asked to take a slow dip in your Scorpio-ruled zone this week, Libra, and this means learning to live with some romantic ghosties. Start softly and tread lightly, knowing that the struggle to integrate these shadows is in the resistance. Flipping the lights on is always available to you and right now, you’re gifted with the superpower to clarify monstrous lumps in the corner that might actually be mere stuffed animals. What lies at the bottom of the well, Libra? More likely than not, your own humanness. Your longings to connect and collide with other beings. Remember that we’re all in this together. Every last being who passes you on the street has loved and lost and learned to love again.

Magic Words:
Stoking my flames lights the whole world.
Power Moves:
With the Waning Moon spotlighting your partnerships, you’re invited to explore the application of your fire and how it affects those around you. How do you warm others? Where is the line between toasted marshmallows and all-out bonfire? What would it mean to cultivate a glow that doesn’t compromise any of your badass essence, but that also extends this fierce force to your beloveds and besties in the name of support. Listen in closely to what others need rather than what they want, and be willing to become the tough yet tender guidance counselor to your closest confidantes. This process can remind you of your hard-earned life experience, and your capacity to become inspired by your own advice. Let the inspo that’s turned outwards stoke your own hearth.

Magic Words:
Creative inspiration can spring from constriction.
Power Moves:
With the earthbound Waning Moon moving through your Virgo-ruled house of containment and refinement, you’re corralling your wild ponies this week and learning to work creatively within the confines of the material world. Start with your body, Sag. When is the last time you truly listened to its secret language? It has been begging for your attention, not because it wants to put out your fire, but because cultivating a deeper relationship to it will actually open you up to even more instinctual wildness. Let the shapes of your life, your schedule and limits, be your haiku poem. Learn to find expansion within the lines.

Magic Words:
Passion is my new perspective.
Power Moves:
With the juicy Taurus Moon marking time in your Leo-ruled zone of sun-kissed summer afternoons, you’re being called into the present moment this week, Cappy. When is the last time you dipped into the glory of whatever was standing right in front of you? Proceed at a honeyed pace and let this return you to your gorgeousness. Roll flavors on your tongue. Take as much time as possible to button up a beloved shirt. Lunch on the grass and run your hands over its fluffed surface. You can change your mind, and it starts with the credo that you deserve to think passionate thoughts. Let pinks, purples, and reds take up your entire lens view.

Magic Words:
Releasing old drama lets me live for myself.
Power Moves:
With the Waning Moon tracking through your Cancer-ruled zone of roots and emo patterning, you’re up for a release from old storylines this week, Aquarius. Specifically, these renovations are coming at you courtesy of obsessions and compulsions that are happening far beyond your control. What scenario do you keep replaying in your head? What messages do you wait for from a particular person that actually keep you from yourself? Know that wherever you’re “spinning” is the gateway to greater sweetness, and that all your mental machinations are keeping you from the deep feeling and caring for self that’s crying out beneath these externals. Let what lives beneath the surface rise up for release, and know that reclaiming it as your own will liberate you from waiting for someone else to “solve” it.

Magic Words:
Letting it pass through me doesn’t mean it will pass me by.
Power Moves:
As the Waning Moon slides through your Gemini-ruled zone of rainbow sherbet and butterfly wings, you’re dancing with multiple perspectives this week. Release into this sensation of mental drifting, like a slow-mo fall through Alice in Wonderland’s rabbit hole. See the objects and situations in your life as if they were a dream, and know that there is literally nothing you need to decide or finalize in this moment. It’s all just “happening” without you having to feel like it’s happening to you. You’re upgrading from the sensation that action and reception are polar opposites. Get super curious about the “actions” that are happening far below the surface, and know that there is truly no endgame.

Magic Words:
I savor the pause before the leap.
Power Moves:
As the Waning Moon brings attention to your zone of worthiness and delicious cycles of growth, you’re invited into the garden this week, Firestarter. But rather than racing straight to the soil, madly uprooting weeds and dousing the land with new seeds, can you simply savor the anticipation of the next blooms? When is the last time you felt into the pause between an ending and a beginning? And what fears spark for you in that space of pause? Explore any aversions to stillness with softness, and know that giving yourself the gift of that “void” is all you need to do right now. Let yourself dance in the in-between, and ready your arm muscles for the plunge into fresh dirt.

Magic Words:
When I release from the solution, I solve the problem.
Power Moves:
With the Waning Moon in your sign this week, emotional “issues” are up for review. Old habits and grooves that lead you to feel trapped in your own heart, funhouse style are calling for integration. But this so-called trap has a trapdoor, and it’s buried underneath your belief that your life is merely made up of problems and solutions. This simplicity is actually hurting you, Taurus, because it’s pressuring you to find only one way out, and to be the only one who can find it. Know that you don’t have to, and can’t, bear all the weight. Lean into your supports. Let contradictions live. And trust that you can find an open window where you currently only see a door.

Magic Words:
There is innocence awaiting on the other side of experience.
Power Moves:
With the Waning Moon sliding through your Pisces-ruled zone of dreamboat surrender, you’re being gifted a giant cloud cake this week, Gemstone. Let yourself have all the lightness you deserve. Float on fantasia. Check completely out of “reality.” Live a parallel life. Give yourself a new nickname. This process of letting it all come undone is restoring you at a cellular level, and re-upping your faith in all the possible pathways that are available to you in every moment. Trust that you can create a sense of choice for yourself in the most unexpected places. Find solutions in dreams and the whisper of wind through trees. Crack yourself wide open to the mysteriousness of your own existence.

Magic Words:
My feelings and I are married for life.
Power Moves:
As the Waning Moon makes magic in your Aquarius-ruled zone of far flung futurism, you’re being asked to explore longevity in all its forms this week, Little Mermaid. And this starts with your capacity to feel your feelings. Where are you starting to suffer from emotional burnout? What highs and lows are no longer sustainable? Start to curiously follow the spikes and dips in your own feeling cycle, and access the possibilities for riding the waves a bit more smoothly. This doesn’t mean denying or shutting down one bit. It simply means opening yourself up to the reality that you’re in it with your feels for the long haul. Let it be a marriage made in heaven, but lived out right here on earth.
