Here’s Your Horoscope for the Week of August 5

Weekly Horoscope

We are seemingly given a quick break from major astrological events this week, which means we can keep calm and focus on our actions without wondering if the universe has a hand in the outcomes. In other words, there’s pretty much nothing to blame now when things go awry. (Just kidding… sort of.)

Here’s how this week will affect you, based on your zodiac sign:

Aries (March 20 to April 19)

After the rush you’ve felt from the previous week from working tirelessly on your goals, you’ve reached the point wherein you feel like you’re stuck in a rut once again. You’re stumbling, and you’re hesitant, and the world around you is frustratingly moving along while you’re frozen where you are. Maybe you’re terrified or angry that things aren’t working out as planned; whatever it is, know that you can’t stay here. You need to pick yourself up and move forward. Finish what you’ve started, own up to your mistakes, and strive to do better!

Taurus (April 19 – May 20) 

You are on the top of your game. You are reaping the rewards of being unashamedly you. Your razor-sharp thinking, tendency for fairness, and clear communication are earning you respect and admiration from those around you. This role of leadership you’ve taken up is doing wonders! Just remember to continue bringing your inner magic into everything you do in order to manifest your dreams.

Gemini (May 20 – June 21)

You have tasted the sweet success you’ve made for yourself and there’s so much to be proud of. At the same time, there are a lot of decisions to make as well. Don’t slack off now; keep working and work hard! You will realize that so much can be learned in just doing. And at the end of all this, the outcome will be amazing.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

You are living your best life after all the hard work you’ve done. You’ve accumulated enough emotional and material security that you are now relishing how stable your life feels as of the moment. You should be filled with contentment…except, are you? Are you happy where you are or do you feel like there’s something missing? Or are you perhaps feeling like you’re stuck where you are, not knowing where to move on from here? Keep in mind that these doubts are only in your head. Life is what we make of it. Enjoy what you’ve been given and move forward with your head held high.

Leo (July 22 – August 23)

You are stuffed full of ideas and passion to do everything. Remember this: you are more than capable of making these things happen. Keep exploring all possibilities, spend time to rack up some experience, and take leaps of faith when you’re called to. You might even be given a leadership role, but it’s here where you should be wary. Determine whether the work is stimulating enough for you to take control of; if it isn’t, you’re better off exerting your energy in more fulfilling things. Prioritize your growth!

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

It’s a good time to be alone this week—not in the sense that you should close yourself off from friends and family, but that a little self-care and soul-searching is very much in order. Take some time to reflect and look inwardly to find the answers to questions that have been bothering you lately. Often, all you need is peace and quiet to hear your inner voices. Let them guide you through the way.
