Weekly Horoscope Overview – August 16 – 22

Aries Weekly Horoscope

Taurus, you feel the momentum building. This week may have a slow beginning, but a big finish.

The week begins on Sunday, August 15, with the sun in Leo, in your house of home and family, making an inconjunct to Neptune in Pisces. Taurus, you may be home with the family, but your mind is one million miles away. You are dancing with fairies in a magical land, riding a white horse with your beloved on a sandy beach, or sailing through the stars as the captain of your own starship. Today’s a good day to read a novel, watch movies, or even write your screenplay. Slow, solitary activities are best, things like quilting, gardening, or doing a puzzle with many pieces.

On Monday, August 16, Mercury in Virgo, in your house of fun and romance, makes an inconjunct to structured Saturn in Aquarius. You might be looking forward to seeing your sweetheart, and suddenly plans are canceled (or at least postponed). It’s no one’s fault. Taurus, circumstances are in the way. Wait a few days, and the energy will be more conducive to making a connection.

Gemini Weekly Horoscope

Your sign ruler Mercury is quite active this week. Frustration gives way to adventure and possibly success.

The week begins on Sunday, August 15, with the sun in Leo, in your house of communication, making an inconjunct with psychic Neptune in Pisces. Today may find you shredding your to-do list. Your intuition says to look at the signs and follow the breadcrumbs the Universe is leaving for you. Gemini, this may mean you are pulling out your grandmother’s Tarot cards or carving a set of runes for yourself to reveal the mysteries of the psychic realm. Move mindfully today, and let the answers come to you as they may.

On Monday, August 16, Mercury in Virgo, in your house of home and family, makes an inconjunct to cautious Saturn in your house of rules. Today, you might be tempted to sit the family down and talk about individual responsibilities. But having an inclination doesn’t mean this is the best day for it. People will be ready for a debate. Instead, take a pen and paper and write down an agreement that can later be shared with the family. Hold onto this until at least the end of the week.

Cancer Weekly Horoscope

Your heart is in it to win it this week. Cancer, this week, you may be searching for your heart’s desire.

The week begins on Sunday, August 15, with the sun in Leo, in your house of money, making an inconjunct with fuzzy Neptune in Pisces. Today you could blow your budget with one spending spree. Cancer, you may have been wishing for a new outfit, faster computer, or bright red electric car that goes 0 to 60 in 2.4 seconds. Now your wants and desires can overthrow your more prudent nature. If you want to stay on budget, wait 24 hours before hitting the “buy now” button.

On Monday, August 16, Mercury in Virgo, in your house of communication, makes an inconjunct with prudent Saturn in your house of resources. You may wake up today disappointed that you don’t have that new shiny car in your garage, but happy you stayed on budget. And the Universe may reward you today with a gift. Someone could give you an object of value, perhaps not a car but something that warms your heart and puts a smile on your face. On the other hand, if you did spend a lot yesterday, you may have some buyer’s remorse today.

Leo Weekly Horoscope

This week, you may float in a sea of emotions. But by the end of the week, Leo, you’re riding the wave.

The week begins on Sunday, August 15, with the sun in Leo (happy birthday!), in your house of confidence, making an inconjunct to wishy-washy Neptune in Pisces. You are vacillating between your usual self-assuredness and indecision or worse, doubt. This is a passing phase, so avoid making big decisions. If it is your birthday today, Neptune’s influence will shift—bringing increased psychic ability for you over the course of the next year.

On Monday, August 16, Mercury in Virgo, in your house of money, makes an inconjunct to frugal Saturn in your house of relationships. You and your sweetheart may have some pronounced money differences today. One of you wants to splurge, and the other is feeling more prudent. A better use for this energy is to come together as a united front to save for something big such as a new house, vacation home, or maybe a trip around the world. Leo, a decision made today could set you on the right financial path.

Virgo Weekly Horoscope

This week, small steps turn into big leaps. Virgo, don’t wait to feel ready. Just do it.

The week begins on Sunday, August 15, with the sun in Leo, in your house of psychic ability, making an inconjunct to mystical Neptune in Pisces. Your intuitive ability is strong today, but you may get bogged down in other people’s rules. Looking through dream books to interpret your personal dreams may get you nowhere today. Instead, look for signs in nature, multiples of numbers, and listen to your higher self. Trust yourself. Virgo, you’re in touch with the Universe today.

On Monday, August 16, Mercury, in your own sign of Virgo, makes an inconjunct with stern Saturn in your house of work. Virgo, you are generally quite disciplined, pragmatic, and responsible. And today, that volume is turned up to 11. You may be working on spreadsheets, organizing paperwork, or writing your dissertation. This is a good day to work on your article for a scientific journal. But most importantly, be supportive of yourself. Criticism is not motivating, especially today. Be kind to you, and you will produce work that impresses many.

Libra Weekly Horoscope

Libra, there are many opportunities this week. Consider coloring outside the lines, and you can make a masterpiece.

The week begins on Sunday, August 15, with the sun in Leo, in your house of community events, making an inconjunct to imprecise Neptune in Pisces. There could be some scheduling difficulties today, or a problem at your job could cause you to miss out on a social event. While this can make today frustrating, this energy will pass quickly, and by tomorrow you’ll be smiling again.

On Monday, August 16, Mercury in Virgo makes an inconjunct to careful Saturn in your house of romance.

Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

Scorpio, you may start the week feeling you’re a lone voice in the wilderness. But by week’s end, you could be leading the tribe.

The week begins on Sunday, August 15, with the sun in Leo, in your house of career, making an inconjunct to fuzzy Neptune in your house of risk-taking. Scorpio, you might want to strike out on your own, build a business, and create passive income sources. But today, all the details are too imprecise. These are big ideas worthy of you, but they warrant more thought before you set sail.

On Monday, August 16, Mercury in Virgo makes an inconjunct to responsible Saturn in your house of home and family. Bringing yesterday’s ideas to the dinner table could give you more critique than encouragement. Others may seem to be holding you back without even realizing it. The best use of this aspect is research. This is a time to find hard data, facts, and statistics. Want to be a professional gamer on Twitch? What does it take to monetize your channel? Want to flip stuff on eBay? How do you begin? Come up with concrete questions, and you’ll see the way forward.

Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope

Sagittarius, you make a slow start out of the gate. But by the end of the week, you’re first to the finish line.

The week begins on Sunday, August 15, with the sun in Leo, in your house of education, making an inconjunct to intuitive Neptune in your house of home and family. You may be getting ready to go off to school or to send kids there. There could be lots of mixed feelings as you prepare for this major event. You might be feeling less self-assertive or even withdrawn. But this is highly intuitive energy. You, Sagittarius, are likely feeling the collective apprehension of every student. It’s not you. Sagittarius, you’re always up for adventure.

On Monday, August 16, Mercury in Virgo makes an inconjunct to pedantic Saturn in your house of contracts and communication. There are emails to return, and inboxes are filling up. And you don’t want to do any of it. You’re standing at the crossroads choosing between irritation or taking responsibility. This aspect can increase your mental discipline and help you breeze through complex forms. You can end the day by checking many things off of your to-do list.

Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

At the beginning of the week, energy seems all bottled up. But at the end of the week, Capricorn, the cork is popped.

The week begins on Sunday, August 15, with the sun in Leo, in your house of resources, making an inconjunct to hazy Neptune in your house of written agreements. If you are going over a contract today to buy a car or purchase a house, check things over carefully before signing. Letters and numbers seem to swim before your eyes. A low-interest rate could suddenly morph into a balloon payment or extra fees. Take a non-Capricorn with you if you’re trying to strike a deal.

On Monday, August 16, Mercury in Virgo makes an inconjunct to your sign ruler, Saturn, in your house of money. Today you’re finding a balance between wishes and cold hard numbers. Capricorn, you can access the most positive parts of this aspect, such as discipline, pragmatism, and good judgment. Pie-in-the-sky thinking gives way to cons

Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

This week, you can go from wishy-washy to laser focused. Aquarius, your energy is building.

The week begins on Sunday, August 15, with the sun in Leo, in your house of partnerships, making an inconjunct to nebulous Neptune in your house of money. Your usual cool, calm demeanor is out the window. You can be talked into something today. Avoid slick salespeople, shady investment seminars, and infomercials. On the positive side, this is a good day to sit with your sweetheart and visualize avenues to wealth. Consider putting together a vision board.

On Monday, August 16, Mercury in Virgo makes an inconjunct to Saturn in your own sign of Aquarius. Today one withering glance from you and others could feel defensive or even scolded. Be careful of taking a paternal tone with friends and your parents. A better use for this energy is for manual tasks. This is a phalange dexterity aspect. Aquarius, work on your guitar playing, increase your typing speed, or knit a blanket in an afternoon.

Pisces Weekly Horoscope

There are waves of energy this week, sometimes pulling you down and sometimes lifting you up. Pisces, fortunately, your sign is aligned with the sea.

The week begins on Sunday, August 15, with the sun in Leo, in your house of routines, making an inconjunct to Neptune in your own sign of Pisces. Today you might be setting yourself up for success by altering your environment. You might be cleaning and organizing your desk, getting rid of junk food in the kitchen, or removing clothing from your exercise equipment. Now you’re on the right track.

On Monday, August 16, Mercury in Virgo makes an inconjunct to sagacious Saturn in the house of the shadow self. Today the irritating person across the table from you is your mirror. You might feel that you are being criticized or even ostracized. But this is the Universe stepping in to show you an exaggerated version of what you’re doing. If you stop and shift your behavior, suddenly, the other person is no longer irritating. It’s like magic.
