OVERALL: All Signs

Mood: Bold-hearted. Soft-spoken. Primed to pivot.

There’s heat in the sky and it’s not just the weather. Between Venus swimming into Cancer and a fiery Leo New Moon, this week asks you to merge heart and hustle. If July was the dress rehearsal, August starts the show.

The cosmic arc unfolds like this:

  • Aug 1-4: Mars trine Jupiter. High-octane momentum. If you’ve prepped, you win.

  • Aug 2 onwards: Venus in Cancer. Love softens. Money choices get cozy and values-driven.

  • Aug 4: New Moon in Leo. Hit reset, especially on self-expression, courage, and creative risk.

  • Ongoing: Mercury retrograde in Leo. Revise, revisit, don’t rage-text.

This week’s a vibe-check and a gut-check. Set intentions that come from your truth, not your timeline.

⛰️ EARTH SIGNS: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Mood: Steady with a side of spark.
You’re in your groove, task lists tight, instincts sharper than your chai masala blend. But Leo season reminds you it’s not just about what you’re doing, it’s about why.

General Outlook: The New Moon in Leo (Aug 4) wants you to own your desires, especially the ones you’ve edited down to be “reasonable.” Mars in Virgo (your team MVP) backs you up with energy to move the needle.

  • ♉ Taurus: Money meets meaning, think cozy investments, not flashy buys. A home-based idea or family convo could shift everything.

  • ♍ Virgo: You’re in full power mode but teetering on burnout. Refine your systems before your systems refine you.

  • ♑ Capricorn: Old control habits get checked, delegate with purpose. Your leadership lands better when it listens first.

Career & Coins: Expect wins between Aug 1-4, especially if you’ve been quietly laying groundwork. Venus in Cancer highlights the emotional side of money. What feels secure, not just what looks successful.

Love & Situationships: Connection gets comfy. It’s the week to make dal for someone or send that “thinking of you” playlist. A real conversation around Aug 6 may soften a stalemate.

Health & Wellness: Your body is your messenger. Notice where tension gathers, that’s your clue to slow down, not speed up. Hydrate. Journal. Go for a walk without AirPods.

Lucky Vibes:

  • Aug 1-2: Say yes to the opportunity you’ve been quietly circling.

  • Aug 4: Set your intentions. Even if it’s scribbled in your Notes app.

🌊 WATER SIGNS: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Mood: Feeling everything. Finally trusting it.
This is a powerfully intuitive week. The Leo New Moon lights up your sense of worth, and Venus (bless) is home in Cancer, making your emotional intelligence an actual superpower.

General Outlook: You’re magnetic right now, not because you’re trying, but because you’re in flow. Aug 4’s New Moon invites you to declare what you deserve.

  • ♋ Cancer: Venus is in your corner, hearts open, support flows. Ask for what you actually need.

  • ♏ Scorpio: That Moon in your sign? It’s your cosmic megaphone. Own your power, commit to the vision.

  • ♓ Pisces: You’re surprisingly clear, don’t second-guess it. A dream becomes doable when you take step one.

Career & Coins: A past project or dormant passion may resurface. Green light it, if it feels aligned. Collaborations flow. Trust your inner editor and your inner artist.

Love & Situationships: Nostalgia hits hard, but it’s not regression, it’s clarity. A heartfelt convo from Aug 2-5 could reframe everything. Don’t perform. Just feel.

Health & Wellness: Water is your medicine. Drink it. Soak in it. Cry it out if needed. The New Moon is prime time for ritual. Light a candle, say a prayer, set a boundary.

Lucky Vibes:

  • Aug 2: A meaningful reconnection or moment of clarity

  • Aug 4: Claim your confidence, not just your calm

  • Aug 8: Closure or a full-circle moment

🔥 FIRE SIGNS: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Mood: Big plans. Bigger truths.
The Leo New Moon (Aug 4) is your cosmic comeback. But here’s the twist, courage isn’t loud this week. It’s intentional, focused, a little softer than expected and more powerful because of it.

General Outlook: Mars trine Jupiter fuels your vision, but Mercury retrograde in Leo demands edits. Think: empowered refinement, not reckless rebranding.

  • ♈ Aries: Mars and Jupiter say: go, go, GO. Just prep first, this is a launch, not a leap.

  • ♌ Leo: New Moon in your sign = rebirth energy. Reinvent, reset, reclaim your narrative.

  • ♐ Sagittarius: Say the big thing, just double-check the facts. Mercury’s still spinning but you’ve got backup.

Career & Coins: You’ve got green lights from Aug 1-4. Use them wisely. Lead, don’t bulldoze. Feedback is your friend, especially if it’s unsexy but true.

Love & Situationships: Venus in Cancer dials up the emotional honesty. You can still be flirty, just make sure your heart’s in the room too. Family convos may get deep around Aug 5.

Health & Wellness: Move your body with joy, not punishment. If burnout’s creeping in, it’s time to pause or at least reframe. You don’t have to be everything this week. Just real.

Lucky Vibes:

  • Aug 1-4: Best days for action, launches, bold conversations

  • Aug 4-6: Time to set intentions around creativity and courage

🌬 AIR SIGNS: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Mood: Sparked. Strategic. Ready to rewire.
The New Moon in Leo lights up your creativity and social flow. But Mercury retrograde is still mixing the signals, so this week’s mantra? Say less, mean more.

General Outlook: Ideas are abundant but not all of them deserve airtime yet. Use this week to refine your message, repair your vibe, and reconnect where it counts.

  • ♊ Gemini: Too many ideas? Time to choose. Focus is your new love language.

  • ♎ Libra: A DM or connection this week holds real promise. Lead with sincerity, not strategy.

  • ♒ Aquarius: You’re leveling up in how you love and lead. Say goodbye to the roles that don’t fit anymore.

Career & Coins: Collaborative magic is possible if you ditch the pitch mode and get honest. Revisit a team project or old strategy, there’s gold in the rework.

Love & Situationships: Venus in Cancer asks you to stop flirting and start feeling. Say what’s real. The person who hears you (not just “gets” you) is the one to lean toward.

Health & Wellness: Clean your space, clear your head. Nervous system = queen. Trade scrolling for stillness when possible, your future self will thank you.

Lucky Vibes:

  • Aug 2-4: Creative breakthroughs, real friendships

  • Aug 7-8: A conversation clears the air
