Weekly Horoscopes August 19 - 25

Monday: August 19, 2019

After a potent and awakening Full Moon in Aquarius last week, this week begins with the Moon waning in Aries. This week holds grounding changes for our relationships and overall lifestyle as both Venus and the Sun prepare for their entrance into earthly Virgo. Virgo is a mutable sign. This earthly energy urges us to ground into our daily routines and pay attention to the small details that make the bigger picture. 

On Monday the Aries moon will trine Mercury in Leo. This aspect supports our personal power when speaking our truth and working with a passion project. The moon will also trine Jupiter in Sagittarius. This aspect is a message of good luck and right timing. However, this energy must be utilized. In order for us to manifest the creativity and adventure that we seek we must be confident and take action; it will not happen by itself. 

On Monday the Aries moon will also form a square to the North Node in Cancer. This aspect may pose a challenge or present a minor setback when it comes to personal intentions due to a strong feminine presence or problems at home. This energy is not here to defeat us, however, it is here to help us prioritize what is important and what is not. 

Tuesday: August 20, 2019

On Tuesday the Aries Moon will form a Trine to the Sun and Venus in Leo. This aspect creates a positive synergy for creativity and positive self-expression. Many will feel a stirring or awakening in their heart center. This loving energy will be showcased through our actions and personality. If we’ve been feeling a little down or held back by an authority figure or higher power, this energy gives us a promise of hope and belief. Relationships will thrive from a healthy dose of interdependence and self-responsibility. Learning how to work with others for a collective cause is rewarding. 

On Tuesday the Aries Moon will also from a trine to Mars in Virgo. This energy shows up in our need for personal space and organization. A personal project or self-goal may become more tangible, however, this will need careful thought and planning. Slow down and use this space to get clear about where you are going so the plan matches the desired results.

Wednesday: August 21, 2019

On Wednesday the moon will move into Taurus until Friday. The Taurus moon will conjunct Uranus retrograde in Taurus. This conjunction brings a much needed wake up call to how we are handling our personal responsibility and finances. An area that we may have been subconsciously running from demands our attention. Do not feel doubtful or negative. Use this wake up call to make progress in this area of your life. Remember that Uranus does not seek to destroy but to move forward. 

On Wednesday Mercury in Leo will form a trine to Jupiter in Sagittarius. This aspect is experienced as an opportunity to clear the air with someone or something that you may have felt wronged by in the past. This experience is not here to drudge up the past, but instead to positively analyze the results and move through it. If you choose to perceive this energy as a blessing and not a curse new doors will open on the other side. 

On Wednesday Venus will leave Leo and enter Virgo until September 14, 2019. When Venus is in Virgo our relationships are more stable and mundane. This is not a period of much excitement, however, great intimacy and soulful connections can occur. Couples may use this period to focus on the small things that make their partner happy and their union long-lasting. Singles should focus on their health and relationship to the values that make them feel safe and secure. 

Venus in Virgo is not a big splurger in the romance department, but it does know every single thing their love wants and needs. Venus in Virgo is a very positive transit to earn and save more money. During this transit we are less likely to react to impulses, however, practical purchases and investments can and should be made now. 

Thursday: August 22, 2019

On Thursday the Moon in Taurus will square Mercury in Leo. This aspect highlights a passionate conflict between our upbringing/conditioned mind and our higher swlf. Many of us were “raised” to be one way, but in our heart, our true self knows that we are often another. Use this energy to find peace between what you think and what is in your heart. Just because someone does not agree with you, or you don’t agree with yourself doesn’t mean you are not a good person. Give yourself some space to just be who you are. Everything doesn’t have to be “perfect.” 

On Thursday the Taurus Moon will also form a trine to Saturn and Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn. This aspect illuminates our inmate ability to overcome obstacles no matter how detrimental and challenging they may seem. This is also a time where we need to be firm in our convictions. Do not let others over power you or change your mind based on passive aggressive behaviors. If you have to let something go to stay true to who you are then do so; nothing is worth more than your dignity. 

Friday: August 23, 2019

On Friday the Last Quarter Moon in Gemini will reach its peak. The Last Quarter moon phase is a time of harvest and reviewal. During this period we are receiving the intentions planted around the Gemini New Moon. This is a time of processing and release. If an idea or communication project has run its course and is now ready to be expanded then do so. This is also a time where we are seeing the sometimes harsh and beautiful reality of the thinking mind. Many of us will feel a deep inner desire to release negative thoughts and communication habits. Do not be afraid to let a long-held belief or mental desire go. 

On Friday the Gemini moon will also form squares to the Sun, Venus, and Mars all in earthy Virgo. This aspect challenges our ideas and their reliability in the real world. Sometimes a great idea is just that, a great idea. It’s important to remember that everything we think, imagine, and believe is not in our best interest. Instead of fighting this energy learn to surrender to it. Despite our negative feelings of being “Wrong”, there is always growth in starting over. If it isn’t practical don’t force it. Stay open to receive a better route.

On Friday the healing energy of our mind is amplified as the Gemini Last Quarter Moon forms a liberating trine to Chiron retrograde in Aries. This aspect illuminates the power that our subconscious holds over us; it also gives us the clarity and confidence to correct it for our greater good. Expect to see the collective moving consciously towards reprogramming as a path to create a brighter future. 

On Friday the Sun will also leave fiery Leo and move into earthy Virgo until September 23, 2019. When the Sun is in Virgo our focus shifts to the small details that make up our whole life. Many will choose to focus this energy towards their efforts to live a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle, others will focus on efficiency in areas of organization, work, finance, and personal responsibility. With Vesta in Taurus for the next several years, this energy is intensified. This four-week transit is powerful when used as a stepping stool to securing a solid foundation for the future. 

Saturday: August 24, 2019

On Saturday the Gemini Last Quarter Moon will oppose Jupiter in Sagittarius. This aspect illuminates a point of tension between two belief patterns. This may feel like we are torn between two choices, however, the one with the most experience and wisdom will win. Try to avoid getting caught between the details and the bigger picture, instead just experience it right now for what it is. The moon’s square to Lilith and Neptune retrograde in Pisces forces us to see how illusions keep us from being present in the here and now. Avoid hiding behind distractions. If you want to see change you need to face change, that is the only way. 

On Saturday Venus in Virgo will form a conjunction to Mars in Virgo. This conjunction activates our desire to create sustainable long-lasting relationships that are based on honesty and acceptance. However, a Mars and Venus quincunx to Chiron retrograde in Aries suggests that this new beginning doesn’t come without its own rocky start. We may be forced to enter into a more grounded relationship to self and others, and this can only stem from our own self-discipline and dedication to be a more reliable person.

 If you are in a relationship this energy reminds us that you cannot force people to change. Instead of focusing on the faults of others we must first identify why we have attracted this experience (or person into our own life). This energy deeply surrounds our personal choices and everyday routines/behaviors. If who you are on a day-to-day basis doesn’t match the person who you are evolving to become, the results will never be authentic. 

Sunday: August 25, 2019

On Sunday the Moon will move into Cancer. The waning Cancer moon will form a sextile to the Sun in Virgo. This aspect aligns our emotions to our daily goals. Conflictual family and home matters will be resolved more effortlessly under this illumination. It is also an excellent time for parents and their children. 

On Sunday Venus in Virgo will also continue its conjunction to Mars in Virgo. Any unresolved matters from yesterday will be finalized today. Practice patience and restrainment if you feel the need to criticize others or yourself. Just because you feel right doesn’t mean you are, and placing blame doesn’t heal anything. 

Weekly Horoscopes for all signs:

For accuracy it is best to read your Rising/Ascendant horoscope first. After you have read your Rising/Ascendant horoscope you should read your Moon and Sun sign. Weave the three readings together to make a complete story.

Aries: Trust your intuition this week, even more than usual. Something that you have least expected but secretly have been praying for will find its way to you this week, but it won’t be in the format you first expected. How you receive it will be up to you, but don’t push it away because it makes you uncomfortable, learn to lean in. 

Taurus: Moving away from toxic habits can be gratifying and exhausting. After a whirlwind summer you should take this week to rest and review. How does this new you want to move through the world? Or do you even want to move at all? Don’t force an answer that you will later regret. Give this some time to chill. 

Gemini: Passion is your strong suit, but sometimes it gets to your head. Move away from a situation this week if you need clarity, Gemini. Reviewing the facts over and over, researching over and over won’t bring you any closer to your goals. Instead you should just go within and distract yourself with something else. The second you forget about that “thing” it will come to you. 

Cancer: Animosity is not your strong suit, but when it comes and you’re pushed, you know how to address it. Stand up for yourself and your vision this week, Cancer, even if you have to step on some toes. Keeping quiet and playing small will only take you so far. If you want results you have to create them. 

Leo: Trust is not always your strong suit, but sometimes it can also be your worst nightmare. If you’ve recently put your trust in the wrong person or situation, take it back. Life is not a one way street, Leo. You have more options than you think. 

Virgo: When your time comes your time comes, if anybody knows this, it's you. But after much dedication and hard work you need to let yourself stand in the spotlight more. You earned it. Learn to treat yourself as much as you discipline yourself. Work, work, work is not the only way to live.

Libra: When you learn to let go of your perfect person act you will begin to see how much life really is a playground. Everything is not serious, Libra. Sometimes you can do something just because its fun. If you learn to let up and just go with the flow something you least expect will grab you by surprise this week, and in return you will find yourself on the ride of your life. 

Scorpio: Move past your ego, Scorpio. After a few weeks of feeling down and out you suddenly feel your personal power coming back. But just because you feel 100% doesn’t mean others have forgotten how you’ve been treating them the past couple of weeks. Say sorry and keep it moving. There’s no need to sweat over hurt feelings. 

Sagittarius: Moving into higher grounds and frequencies is exciting, Sag. Just remember that you were once in a lower space too. Avoid judging others based on where they are now and instead be a compassionate light that helps them move forward. Somebody close to you wants what you’ve got, and it doesn’t have to be a cat fight. Help not heal. This one is up to them. 

Capricorn: Trusting in your process has been your comfort for the past couple months, and even though you are ready for a drastic change it's not happening just quite yet. Learn to be appreciative for every phase of your evolution. Just because something didn’t happen today doesn’t mean it won’t happen tomorrow. Be a believer in the impossible and watch it happen for you. 

Aquarius: Starting over can feel really scary, but if you’re ready for a major change then start preparing yourself now. It’s okay to feel shaky, but it’s also okay to get your feet wet without knowing what you’re really doing. Be brave and stick your neck out there for what you really want. You will be pleasantly surprised by how much someone supports you.

Pisces: Great things are happening behind the scenes, but in front of the camera life could feel a little dull. Remember that you create your destiny, Pisces. Avoid feeling shame about something that you cannot control. You are not doing anything wrong, it’s just not time yet.
