Get ready for pure DRAMA with this weekly horoscope! The beginning of the week brings the new moon in Leo on August 4, Mercury retrograde (which back spins through the signs Virgo and Leo from August 4 PT and 5 ET until August 28), and Venus’s entrance into Virgo on August 4. It’s a time of change, but not without growing pains. Watch out for miscommunications — especially in matters of the heart. We may be more critical of ourselves and others, which means we’ll need to practice self-love. Try to offer TLC to others and yourself.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

You love being on stage and putting on a show for others, but this week you want to spend time focusing on your private life. The issue is that you might be drawn into the limelight when a pal asks you to host an event like a poetry reading, party, or a bonfire at the beach. You don’t have to be the one who always brings the gang together. Set boundaries to ensure you aren’t swayed into doing something you’re not in the mood for. If you do decide to help out, making a quick appearance should be adequate enough.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

Since your BFF is having relationship problems, you’re projecting that drama into your life due to fears and insecurities. As a result, you’re scrolling and trying to be messy on social media to find clues that prove your partner is being unfaithful and acting foul. Words of advice: When you look for issues, you’ll find them. A minimal thing can turn into a huge issue when you overanalyze matters and assume the worst. Be direct and ask your S.O./crush about an Instagram or TikTok connection that you think is sus. You’ll get more information that way rather than leaping to judgments.

Libra

September 23 – October 22

Your schedule is all over the place, making you yearn for stability this week. In order to add structure to the day, it’s vital that you don’t detour from the objectives set in the morning. If your BFF invites you over to hang out and you have to finish errands for your family, stick to the task at hand and then see what your evening is like before committing. First, complete tasks and then pencil in fun time. Even though you want to have fun during the last dog days of summer, you still have to stick with the program.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21

The hot summer weather has nothing on you, Scorpio, because you’re bringing the shade this week. You’re defensively clapping back and dropping tea about your crew. You aren’t trying to be bad, but you want to warn your besties about how some peeps act and allow them to see that they can be affected by their actions. Your plan might backfire when you’re called out, which ultimately puts a rift in your relationships. So, don’t run your mouth to people who are fair weather friends and will repeat the information you spill. Make sure you confide in those you trust.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

Welcome to your villain era, Sag! Although you exude positive vibes, you’re picking up on the negativity in your crew. Rather than ignoring the sentiment, you will opt to confront them. After all, you like to speak your mind and aren’t shy. TBH, it would be ideal if you could tone your mood down a little bit just because you might ruffle some feathers and create bigger issues due to your aggressive nature. When people cross you and don’t treat you nicely, they should expect for you to come charging after them and wanting to be direct with your feelings.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

Money makes the world go round, but it is not important to you at the moment. Instead of obsessing over the cash in your bank account, you are investing your time in raising funds for a nonprofit. Not only will your passion project help others, but it’ll keep you on the golden path and start a journey into working with charitable organizations. By the end of the week, you’ll start engaging in the grassroots side of these endeavors and commit your time to delivering goods through organizations or volunteering at places that assist those who are in need.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

Wakeup, Aquarius! Stop believing illusions and start searching for the truth about yourself. Now is the time when your vision is 20/20 and you’re seeing everything clearly. You’re being gaslighted by an acquaintance, who’s making you think that you’re to blame for situations. You are not. Your intuition and emotions are 100% correct. In the days ahead, you will begin to discover that your feelings are legit and your perception of matters are real. Journal the events that have occurred in the past to allow you to heal and to make moves out of this relationship. You deserve better.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

Mercury’s moonwalk is bringing old flames back into your heart. A simple conversation via text might give you hope for the future; however, it’s advisable not to dive back into the relationship — at least not yet. Let them prove their love to you in the weeks ahead. You don’t have to make them jump through hoops, but they should step up and prove that they’ve changed their ways and want to create a beautiful relationship together. Take it one day at a time. For now, you are hot to go with your pookie. Enjoy the flirtiness and adoration, Pisces.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

You’re a rebel without a cause, which is why you want your visions to come to life this week. All of your dreams are ready to take flight. Set a clear intention and make a list of ways you can attain these goals. Meditate on what you wish to bring to fruition and move towards them. You’re an extremely powerful person, and your fiery nature gives you the push needed to set things in motion. Before you know it, you will be experiencing a total vibe shift that has the potential to lead you to greatness. You got this!

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

Whether or not you’re aware of it, actions have consequences. The way you treat others affects those people on an intimate level, and the way they connect with others. Be mindful that your behavior is a domino effect and those you don’t know can be impacted as a result. Before you take out your emotions or moods and others, note that you shouldn’t hurt the people you love to feel less pain. Your friends are a shoulder to cry on and are here to support you. They will always stand by your side and be your ultimate ride or die.

Gemini

May 21 – June 20

A frenemy is trying to leapfrog you by stealing opportunities you’ve been manifesting for some time. Since you often overshare with your squad, it’s advisable that you hold your aspirations close to your heart. The reason being is that you’re an ingenious and smart person who makes their ambitions happen. Those who you surround yourself with are in awe of your accomplishments and want it for themselves — but don’t want to do the work. Keep these hopes safe by only telling members of your family or a BFF that you know won’t share your thoughts and secrets.

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

The rumor mill is in full motion. Even though you’re not spreading the hot goss, you have a heavy hand in stirring the pot. The caveat is that you aren’t doing this intentionally. Your pals are able to read you at this moment, making your reaction to their questions validate the deets they’re searching for. Yes, your buddies are reaching to connect the dots, but that won’t stop them from doing the math in their heads and figuring things out. Don’t be hard on yourself if other people’s skeletons come to light, you did your best to protect them.
