The weekly horoscope ahead is energetically lighter, which is the best way to beat the heat this summer! The action planet Mars glides into Libra on August 6, urging us to be more relaxed and less aggressive in how we connect with others. Instead of committing to one stance, we will find that there are many shades of gray and that the middle ground is the best place for us to find solutions. The Lion’s Gate Portal on August 8 is a prime day to manifest. Use this powerful time to put your dreams and desires out into the universe — there is a high probability they’ll come true. On August 9, the full moon in Aquarius illuminates the sky, helping us find rational solutions to problems and embrace innovation. The future is here and so is the Age of Aquarius.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
When times are tough, you have your pride and strength to help in getting you through situations. Even though you may feel as though the people closest to you are letting you down because you're not buying what they are selling, your character and dynamic nature will allow you to see it's better to be a lonely lion than part of a flock of following sheep. You don't want to adhere to the ideals that don't fit your personality, so take a stand and assert your individuality. With your bravado and tenacity, you'll be able to do so easily.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
No one knows how hard you try to do the right thing. You’d never treat someone you love unkindly or disrespectfully — even if they were mean to you. When the going gets tough and you’re put to the test this week, remember who you are at a core level. You should always practice and prioritize your ideals. If someone goes low by sending a snarky text, try not to give them satisfaction by replying. You deserve to be treated with the same courtesy you give to others. Let them flex all they want — you don’t have to engage.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
Your mind may be playing tricks on you. Several misunderstandings between you and your crew could create havoc with your BFFs. However, if you allow yourself to take a step back and to analyze this situation, you'll find that you are misinterpreting and projecting your feelings onto others. Also, it may be best to have a clarifying discussion with your pals and let them know that you're unsure of their words. Being upfront and honest is the best way to handle the matter because it will create a stronger foundation for the future of the friendship.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
Imagine a life free of drama and stress. It can and will happen. Usually, you get defensive when pushed to the brink. However, this week is the beginning of your soft era (which will last for the next month), allowing you to find the middle ground in which you can assert yourself. Rather than taking arguments to the max, you want to resolve them swiftly and reasonably without conflict. Once you embrace a chiller attitude that people can relate to, they won't fight back. As a result, you'll find that your relationships are in tact and in a good place.

Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21
If you’re looking to pick a fight, you will be successful when speaking to an ex-frenemy or partner. If you want a real challenge, you should try mending fences with old friends or former foes instead of starting new battles. You might not see eye to eye about the demise of the relationship or specific memories, but it will be worth remembering that there were fun moments you both had that made you fall for each other in the first place. Regardless of how the story goes, don’t forget the past. The chapter you shared was meaningful and social media has the receipts to prove it.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
Unfortunately, pacifism isn’t your vibe this week. You’re one angry and raging sea goat. Quite frankly, you are not afraid to show your sentiments. Nowadays, there is a lot to be angry at and triggered by, so taking the path of most resistance might be an ideal way to make noise. Getting loud will benefit your cause and attract others who agree with your point of view. They’ll join your crusade and support you through thick and thin. Give yourself a round of applause for believing in yourself and creating something that is bigger than you.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
It’s unlikely that you will wear your heart on your sleeve, but the look is in style this week. There are benefits to being sensitive: You can easily relate to those you care about, you'll feel less repressed, and you'll release some negative energy you’ve been carrying around. It’ll be reinvigorating and refreshing to detox your body from the residual and relentless pain that’s been lingering, so much so that you’ll encourage your pals and family to do the same. They’ll have similar after shocks and effects that are quite revitalizing.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
You’re one of the most psychic signs of the zodiac, but this week your intuition is higher than ever. Listen to what your gut and heart are telling you, as their advice and wisdom is going to guide you toward making decisions that are great for you. Your squad might not agree right away; however, they’ll soon realize that you should choose the road you want to walk on. Although it may not align with their vision, it doesn’t mean you’re wrong. Everyone has their own opinion and dreams. As you know, only you know what is best for you.
Aries
March 21 - April 19
Your summer fling is proving to be less spectacular and perfect than you imagined. You can blame the four planetary retrogrades (Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto) that are causing intensity in the cosmos, but you should also acknowledge that they weren’t the one for you and there are other fish in the sea. Resolve your inner turmoil by writing it off as your quantum dating experiment. It did not work out, but that doesn't mean you didn’t learn much about yourself. In the next partnership, you will be aware of what you want and need in setting the overall tone for the relationship.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
While on vacay, you are flocking to find a new crush. The caveat to your plan is that you get attached easily and will have difficulty moving on. You intend to fall into a ship and live happily ever after with them. The truth is that you'll both move on before anything serious begins, and you will romanticize and fall head over heels for another person. Keep it light before promising them the world, and know that no one knows what will happen, so don't commit until you get to know them and are ready. You can't hurry love.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
Oversharing information with the people in your circle might seem like it will hurt your reputation later on. Fortunately, you have a supportive group of peeps that will do anything to protect you from heading down the rabbit hole. Show them that you sincerely care by not taking them for granted in the upcoming days because their camaraderie is worth a lot to you (the same can and should be said about their loyalty to you). You got this, Gem!
Cancer
June 21 - July 22
You're a bit of a wildcard this week, and it's the best thing that's happened to you in a while. Not playing by the rules and acting impulsively is shaking things up and having a positive impact. Your new attitude offers you a fresh perspective to be the person you've always thought you could but didn't have the esteem to be. You should never have to worry about what anyone thinks — all that matters is how you feel about yourself. It will be wonderful to be autonomous without any strings or constraints holding you back. Nothing can stop you now!
