Hooray! This weekly horoscope brings the end of Mercury retrograde in Leo on August 11, clearing up the miscommunications that began on July 18. Another celestial highlight of the week is the connection Venus and Jupiter in Cancer share on August 12. It’ll be a magical and lucky day to manifest and celebrate love, life, and joy.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
It's been a crash out summer and it may feel as though matters aren’t getting easier. Before you run away into your cave and hide from others, know that you are beginning to come out of the rut you've been in. Inspiration is coming soon, so use this week to prepare yourself for the amazing energy and awesomeness that will lift your spirits. Try to get some shut eye and decompress in the upcoming days because you're about to rock and roll in all aspects of your life. You will be shook by how much your situation will change.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
Your patience has a shelf life and it is going to expire this week. You might find that your friends are too demanding and encourage you to step into their messiness. It is advisable to think about how your peace of mind will be affected before you take the bait and defend them. Doing so without the full story will interfere in your relationships. Before you know it, a triangular argument will ensue with you in the middle. The drama is frustrating to you because no one is giving you the whole truth and taking matters to the next level.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
Humblebragging about your achievements from your summer internship will make you feel better about yourself, but it’ll give the ick to a few members of your squad. This scenario has two sides: You should be able to own your fabulousness, and your crew must always lift you up. Conversely, some might not be in the best state of mind or emotional space to hear it. Know your audience before boasting, as it could be read as insensitive to their issues and flexing success. Save the rizz for a select few or the family. They’ll cheer you on.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
With a new semester of school on the horizon, you’re focusing on how to rise up on the scene. What you’ll come to realize is that there is more to life than being the most popular scorpion in the hallways. TBH, you have more depth than that. You should use your fame for a good cause, like advocating for a humanitarian mission and endeavor. Not only will you be spiritually fulfilled, but it’ll give meaning to your aspirations. You’ll be able to help others and support their dreams while simultaneously making yours happen, which will warm your heart with happiness.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
For the past several months, you’ve been in the mood to align with another in a soulful way. This week, you want to and try to evolve the dynamic into much more. The only foreseeable difficulty is that you might lovebomb the person whose attention you’re vying for, making them desire time alone. A funny meme or two will suffice in flirting. The passions you feel need to be in check to avoid awkwardness with your boo. Gently shoot your shot without ruffling any feathers or pushing your potential S.O. away with extreme intensity in the onset of the ship.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
Like Conrad from last week’s episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty, your heart wants what it wants — unapologetically. It will be hard to let go of a past relationship tugging at your sentimentality and emotions. Rather than say au revoir to love, see if any aspects of the relationship are worth salvaging. Even though it might take some time for you both to come together again, acknowledging your feelings and letting the other person know what’s brewing inside is essential to move the situationship forward. Do not be shy about expressing yourself to the ex you're crushing on.

Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
Since Mercury began its planetary moonwalk last month, the vibe has been slightly off with your partner. They've been oddly quiet and unresponsive to your texts and attempts to engage in conversation. Now that the communication is starting to move forward, you might want to discuss what's been happening with them. Chances are that they’ve been lost in their emotions and a haze of their own. Being that their recent behavior has absolutely nothing to do with you, the situation could be corrected by spending more time together. If you have faith in repairing the relationship, you’ll be able to.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
You’ve fallen hard for crafting in your spare time. This week, you want to take it to the ultimate stage and sell the items you made for profit. After assessing the costs associated with your business, the extra money is yours. Consider saving it for a rainy day or for the pair of boots you’ve been drooling over for next season. Whatever you decide to do with the cash, be proud of yourself for the hustle and determination you spent working on making your dreams and imagination a reality. You should be very excited for the future of this extraordinary venture.
Aries
March 21 - April 19
Understand your limits in relationships. You might be called upon to assist a pal, but you soon see they are extremely demanding of your time and energy. Being an excellent mate doesn’t mean that you have to overextend yourself to make them happy with you. A real ride or die never asks you to walk on eggshells in their company; they will respect and care for you as you are and never impose your boundaries. There should be no expectations for you to be and act a certain way, because unconditional loyalty are the prerequisites for long-term friendships to thrive.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
Although you want to decrease the chatter and noise in your world, the volume is pumping up around you. There is a lot of hot gossip circling your orb, and you’re the one who is spreading the rumors to a select few of your buddies. The tea is too scandalous not to spill amongst your besties. Be careful and don’t repeat the information to those you can’t safeguard. If the news falls into the wrong hands, it’ll be destructive to those it is about and to you when the finger-pointing begins. The best advice is to lay low this week.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
Once in a while, you say things you don’t mean without being aware of the consequences and have to rush to mend fences. The opposite is happening to you, and it’s not as simple to let go of as you’d think. Words can hurt and crush one’s ego, so try to understand that even though there is a tinge of honesty to the saltiness, it isn’t how they feel. Emotions are complex; people utter statements in a moment of rage without knowing. The best you can do is move forward and put these peeps on probation until they’ve regained their BFF privileges.
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
The current cosmic climate is sweeter than usual for you, escalating the optimism you have in the universe and yourself. With positive vibes at your fingertips, you’re able to reconnect with yourself and ensure that the people surrounding you are up to par. Keep your standards high to receive the love and kindness you deserve. Never settle for anything less. Remember that you are a superstar and are shining brighter than the stars. Take a moment to hard launch the relationship with yourself; let people notice your progress and swagger. They’ll applaud your ferocity and wonderfulness. Welcome to you, Cancer!
