Weekly Horoscope: August 19–25, 2024
Sometimes, the planets can take us to emotional extremes, but this week has balanced cosmic energy that should keep you from going too far off the rails. Although Monday’s full moon (the galactic guardian of our emotions) in eccentric Aquarius might normally have the potential to create some pretty bonkers scenarios, other more down-to-earth astral vibes are placing the focus of this lunation more on community and fellowship than anything else. Spending time with friends, celebrating with family, volunteering at a shelter, or hanging out with neighbors are all top-tier activities now.
The hotness of the sun (the heart of our cosmic existence) is beginning to fade, and as it partners with practical Virgo on Thursday, we start to trade carefree summer vibes for the responsibilities that come with a new season approaching. It’s not much fun to get back to reality, but isn’t there a part (even if it’s small) of you ready to get back into your regular routine? It’s time to focus on what’s important and start getting organized for whatever comes next on your busy schedule.
On Friday, a sharp sextile between smart Mercury (our cosmic messenger) in Leo and Mars (the planet representing activity) in Gemini sharpens mental reflexes and helps you keep an open mind. Your weekend involves brainstorming, solving problems, and making important decisions. Again, nothing earth-shattering, but getting one more thing crossed off your to-do list is a step in the right direction.
