Your Weekly Horoscope: Did Someone Say Party?
August 5 – August 11, 2019
No full or new moons, no retrogrades, no eclipses… Just some awesome, social energy heading our way!
It all starts on Wednesday, when the sun teams up with Jupiter (planet of luck)—and Venus (planet of sociability) on Thursday—making for all sorts of spontaneous and harmonious celebrations. Whether these occasions are for fun or business, it’ll go very well.
The weekend is where a lot of planetary commotion will hit. On Sunday, Jupiter turns direct after being retrograde since April. If any best-laid plans and projects have stalled lately, things can now take an upward turn.
That same day, Mercury (planet of communication) moves into Leo, which is a very charismatic and at times dramatic influence. People could have an increased desire for their voice to be heard.
Finally, also on Sunday, Uranus (planet of transformation) turns retrograde in Taurus and remains so until January 2020. This could encourage a slower approach to the process of change. With less of an urge to jump ship, there could be a desire to adopt a more orderly approach to revolutionizing affairs.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Lately, you’ve been very focused on gaining some monetary traction. And this week, you’ll really be able to make some ground. The only problem is that you’ll feel more like you want to spend that money rather than save it. Try to see the bigger picture here, Cancer. If you can do that, you’ll see results faster and you’ll feel more in control.

Wednesday or Thursday could see you being offered an amazing opportunity. All that leads up to Jupiter turning direct on Sunday, granting you some gracious rewards for your hard work (or future hard work—if you’re waiting for a sign to start a project, this is it!). Sunday will also be about forging new ideas for a trip outside your comfort zone, as Mercury enters your travel sector. Be bold and fearless, Sagittarius!

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
You’re typically one to keep those emotions close to the vest, Capricorn. But planetary energy is forcing you to take a hard look at those tender points. What’s more, Jupiter will enter into your spiritual zone and show you how far you’ve come, making you realize what true self-reflection can bring. Because of this, these emotions will also collide with the urge to take action. Thus, if you’ve been wondering whether to invest in a therapist, this is the perfect week to take that next step.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
As Uranus, Aquarius’ personal planet, turns retrograde on Sunday, you’ll start to feel the need to slow down your pace… positive rewards can only come from patience. But for the most part, relationships—romantic or not—are the highlight this week. To that end, you’ll see many social invitations flooding in this week as you relish a bunch of fun and unique connections with people. Even more, Jupiter is about to enter your relation zones, which should see a new lift in your social life. Everyone will want to be around you and your charming social energy.
