With this week’s glamazon Venus, radiant sun and flamboyant new moon in Leo, fiery sign of creative renaissance and passionate spirits, flattery will get you far but critical feedback not so much. Here’s your weekly horoscope July 29 – August 4, 2024.
Leo, Jul 23 – Aug 22
Flamboyant Venus, sun and new moon in Leo all applaud your majesty’s sashay along this week’s catwalk. If you’ve been holding back on sharing certain feelings and ideas, it’s time to step up and speak out. And if this unleashes your inner drama queen, make sure she plays nice.
Virgo, Aug 23 – Sep 22
With this week’s out-there energetics it might seem like the person who talks loudest wins, but don’t let that stop you expressing your brief, to the point and well-considered opinions. Stick to your natural Virgo style, because less can be more effective during this over the top transit.
Libra, Sep 23 – Oct 22
Venus in your personal sector of friends and future plans schedules a busy beginning to August’s mix-and-mingle month. This is a time for Librans to expect, accept, and even celebrate the drawing to a close of certain life cycles, so don’t get sucked into this week’s bigger-is-better energetic.
Scorpio, Oct 23 – Nov 21
Pluto’s deepening presence in your home or base of operations addresses control issues in family dynamics and office politics. Self-reflection at this time can uncover where beliefs you’ve held about yourself and others might need rethinking to make room for a more understanding and authentic story.
Sagittarius, Nov 22 – Dec 21
August’s astrological energy in a fellow fire sign and your personal sector of adventure suggests warming up the seasonal chill by inviting your artistic and creative side out to play. Doing something wildly different from your usual moves is one of the traditional astrological cures for the midwinter blues.
Capricorn, Dec 22 – Jan 19
August’s celestial energies in your sector of shared activities suggest engaging your personal gifts and talents in more creative, joyful and playful ways, even different social circles, because general productivity actually improves when you take breaks, refresh your mind and exchange ideas with others.
Aquarius, Jan 20 – Feb 18
Your sign is astrologically associated with networking and progressive ideals, and Pluto’s extended retrograde in Aquarius suggests prioritizing a thorough reassessment of these themes. As in reexamining your use of technology and social media, plus the workings of groups you associate with and causes you support.
Pisces, Feb 18 – Mar 20
Notice this week if your thoughts and internal conversation drift into past patterns because Saturn and Neptune retrograde in your sign are actually celestial gifts offering the priceless opportunity to recognize and move through a residual backlog of emotional history to craft new responses to habitual stumbling blocks.
Aries, Mar 21 – Apr 19
Chiron retrograding in Aries is a combustible combination that can’t help but facilitate change. This week’s fearless energy drives you out of your comfort zone to do what you must: which is break new ground and take a brave quantum leap. So go ahead, flaunt your inner fabulous, flaws and all.
Taurus, Apr 20 – May 20
Impatient Mars could incite people to be argumentative and contrarian this week, with everyone having an opinion and nobody willing to compromise. Strong reactions are likely, so think twice before challenging someone if you don’t have all the facts, and save feisty emails to the drafts folder.
Gemini, May 21 – Jun 20
With outspoken Jupiter, assertive Mars and chatty midweek moon in your twice-as-much Twin sign this week, expect a double helping of everything. It might be hard for others to get a word in, so try to take a breath, moderate your enthusiasm and aim for equal airplay.
Cancer, Jun 21 – Jul 22
A busy, buzzy week in which your starring role is peacemaker, so sidestep those devil’s advocates who just want to argue for argument’s sake. Most enjoyable date? When late week Cancer moon shines its lovelight on family gatherings, time with kids or just relaxing @ Crab Casa.
