OVERALL: All Signs

Mood: Transition mode with a purpose.
Leo season’s sparkle is still in the air, but Virgo season is waiting in the wings (Aug 22) with a clipboard and a checklist. This week blends celebration with preparation, polishing your glow while setting up systems for what’s next.

Cosmic Weather:

  • Aug 16-18: Creative sparks and heart-led collaborations

  • Aug 17-18: Luck in clearing debts, refining work goals, or securing support

  • Aug 21-22: Sun enters Virgo. Reset routines, focus on renewal

  • Ongoing: Venus in Cancer (connection + care), Mars in Libra (teamwork over lone-wolfing), Uranus in play (expect twists)

Vibe Check: End one chapter with joy, start the next with intention. The more grounded your vision, the easier it is to flex when Uranus throws a curveball.

⛰️ EARTH SIGNS: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Mood: Steady, visible, and ready to fine-tune.
Leo season’s final stretch keeps you socially engaged and quietly building momentum. As the Sun moves into Virgo on Aug 22, your focus shifts to refinement, streamlining systems, recommitting to priorities, and clearing the clutter (both physical and mental) so your next chapter starts clean.

General Outlook: This week is your bridge between celebration and structure. Mercury direct in Leo clears communication snags, while Mars in Libra keeps collaboration running smoothly. By the weekend, Virgo energy kicks in, amplifying your natural ability to execute with precision.

  • ♉ Taurus: Money matters feel more stable; Aug 17-18 is perfect for debt repayment, investment planning, or locking in a long-term financial strategy.

  • ♍ Virgo: The Sun entering your sign brings a personal reset. Use this energy to launch a new goal or unveil something you’ve been quietly perfecting.

  • ♑ Capricorn: Leadership opportunities emerge, but the win will come from delegating well and setting clear expectations.

Career & Coins: Aug 17-18 is prime for presenting ideas, updating résumés, or re-negotiating terms. Virgo season puts you in the driver’s seat for organizational upgrades, and Mercury direct smooths over past misunderstandings in deals or contracts.

Love & Situationships: Venus in Cancer brings warmth to your closest connections. This is the week for quality time; whether that’s a home-cooked dinner, a thoughtful text, or a heart-to-heart that leaves both people lighter.

Health & Wellness: Virgo season’s opening notes are all about maintenance. Schedule your check-ups, fine-tune nutrition, and lean into grounding movement like yoga, walking, or Pilates.

Lucky Vibes:

  • Aug 17-18: Career clarity and financial progress

  • Aug 22: Sun enters Virgo. Your personal green light for a fresh start

🌊 WATER SIGNS: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Mood: Emotionally rich, creatively charged, open to shifts.
You’re riding the final waves of Leo season with expressive energy and heart-led momentum. Venus in Cancer continues to amplify connection, comfort, and care, while Uranus adds the occasional surprise plot twist, the kind that nudges you into new opportunities you didn’t see coming.

General Outlook: The week’s early days are ideal for leaning into creative or social projects that require emotional resonance. By Aug 18-19, invitations, reunions, or reconnections could open doors in love, friendship, or work. The Sun’s shift into Virgo on Aug 22 brings a gentle but firm focus on grounding your next steps in something practical and sustainable.

  • ♋ Cancer: Venus keeps you glowing and magnetic. Expect a friend, partner, or supporter to step forward with an offer or gesture.

  • ♏ Scorpio: Creative collaborations get a boost, but pay attention to fine print in agreements; clarity now avoids headaches later.

  • ♓ Pisces: Mercury direct cuts through the mental haze. Keep a notebook handy to capture flashes of insight before they drift away.

Career & Coins: Jupiter and Venus combine to attract allies or clients, who value what you bring to the table. For Pisces and Scorpio, inspired ideas can be monetized if you take the time to map out the logistics. Cancer, your charm is your pitch, just ask.

Love & Situationships: This is a deeply heart-centered week. A small, thoughtful act, shared meals, nostalgic playlists, or revisiting a special spot, could open emotional floodgates in the best way. Aug 18-19 is prime for mending, deepening, or rekindling bonds.

Health & Wellness: Water therapy is your recharge station, whether it’s a swim, a long bath, or just drinking more water. Creative hobbies, journaling, and rest will help integrate the emotional currents running through the week.

Lucky Vibes:

  • Aug 16-17: Creative breakthroughs and inspired problem-solving

  • Aug 18-19: Emotional renewal, reconnection, and relationship healing

🔥 FIRE SIGNS: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Mood: Energized, reflective, and shifting gears.
You’re wrapping up Leo season with warmth and charisma, but the Sun’s move into Virgo (Aug 22) calls for a quieter kind of fire, the kind that burns steady for long-haul goals. Mars in Libra highlights the importance of partnership, reminding you that shared wins carry further than solo sprints.

General Outlook: Early week still carries Leo sparkle for visibility, launches, and social confidence. By Thursday/Friday, Virgo’s influence has you focusing on systems, routines, and skill-building. This is your pivot point. Polish what’s working, refine what’s not.

  • ♈ Aries: Mars in Libra turns the spotlight to your relationships; a balanced approach to collaboration yields lasting gains. Aug 17 is strong for sealing a deal or aligning on shared goals.

  • ♌ Leo: Mercury direct untangles delays from earlier this month, letting you close out your season with decisive moves. Take stock before Virgo season shifts focus to practical matters.

  • ♐ Sagittarius: Jupiter’s expansive touch boosts travel, education, or publishing projects, but Virgo season will demand a concrete plan for the dream.

Career & Coins: Mars fuels teamwork and tact in negotiations. Use Aug 17-18 for collaborative pitches, and let Mercury direct guide you into clearer commitments midweek. As Virgo season begins, fine-tune budgets, contracts, and deliverables.

Love & Situationships: Venus in Cancer draws you toward intimacy rooted in care and reciprocity. A weekend gathering or one-on-one check-in could strengthen bonds more than grand gestures.

Health & Wellness: Balance is key. Steady exercise, early nights, and mindful eating keep energy consistent. Avoid burning out on early-week momentum before Virgo’s slower, more methodical pace sets in.

Lucky Vibes:

  • Aug 17: Collaborative wins and productive conversations

  • Aug 21-22: Reset habits and recommit to your personal goals

🌬 AIR SIGNS: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Mood: Clear-headed, socially magnetic, and quietly strategic.
With Mercury now direct in Leo, your voice carries more weight and your ideas land with greater precision. Mars in Libra energizes collaboration and negotiation, giving you both charm and leverage in one-on-one dynamics. Uranus stirs the pot just enough to spark fresh thinking, while the Sun’s move into Virgo on Aug 22 helps ground your plans in workable steps.

General Outlook: This week blends creativity with pragmatism. Early days favor networking, idea exchanges, and laying the foundation for deals or partnerships. By Thursday/Friday, Virgo’s influence shifts you from brainstorming to organizing, turning “wouldn’t it be cool” into “here’s the plan.”

  • ♊ Gemini: Mars trine Uranus keeps your ideas sparking. Share them before the moment passes. Aug 16-18 is perfect for pitching or joining a new project.

  • ♎ Libra: Mars in your sign makes you a natural leader in group efforts. Navigate any tension by framing decisions as mutual wins.

  • ♒ Aquarius: The week’s highlight is a sense of alignment between your ideals and your actions. Sun entering Virgo helps you refine long-term strategies.

Career & Coins: Use Aug 16-18 to strengthen alliances and expand your professional circle. Mercury direct boosts your ability to pitch and negotiate; Virgo season will require follow-through, so be ready to back your words with action.

Love & Situationships: Venus in Cancer softens your edges, bringing depth and sincerity to connections. Honest, vulnerable conversations now will be remembered long after this week ends.

Health & Wellness: Mental clarity is your superpower right now, but watch for overstimulation. Schedule intentional downtime, unplug after hours, and balance thinking with doing.

Lucky Vibes:

  • Aug 16-18: Networking and team projects gain momentum

  • Aug 21-22: Virgo season grounds your vision into an actionable plan
