A few planetary shifts are occurring with this weekly horoscope, starting with revolutionary planet Uranus beginning its retrograde in the sign Taurus, which will last until January 30, 2025. Pluto retrograde is also reentering Capricorn, taking us back astrologically to the end of 2023. Both planetary moonwalks are giving us the opportunity to reflect on how we want to advance our lives. The Virgo New Moon occurs on September 2, allowing us to start fresh as we enter another school year. Action planet Mars enters Cancer on September 4, tightening our emotions. Our moods will be inconsistent for the next several weeks; however, we will also be embracing our comforts in the last days of summer.

Virgo

August 23 - September 22

Stop taking things personally. People are projecting their insecurities onto you because you’re compassionate and empathetic. Instead of taking the brunt of those feelings, stand up for yourself. Don't allow them to take your kindness for granted. In your own way and time, it'll be beneficial to the relationships to be upfront and address the situation at hand before it escalates. Hold your own — even if they try to gaslight you. Not falling for their excuses gives you the chance to shift dynamics and allows you to create a life full of realness without having to deal with their issues.

Libra

September 23 - October 22

Charge up the crystals and go deep! The week ahead encourages you to connect with your inner emotions. This may require you to do some soul-searching. Try to meditate on what you wish to bring into your life and what you want to expel. The more you reflect on your past, the easier it'll be to understand the present better. You may find that pausing friendships to focus on yourself is vital to your personal growth. Doing the work to connect with the higher self ensures that you'll always be in reach of what you want and need. This is your glow-up era, Libra.

Scorpio

October 23 - November 21

Being the boss of the squad doesn't mean you should be bossy. Your friends look to you to set the tone of the group. The reason they admire you is because you respect everyone’s needs, boundaries, and emotions. This week, you might be a tad sassy and controlling, due to your feisty mood. Try to assert your knowledge and authority to help others attain the same level of greatness as you. As the leader of the crew, it’s important for you to create a chill vibe that all of your besties feel comfortable in. Use your social power for good.

Sagittarius

November 22 - December 21

You are totally ready to DTR and commit to your crush. The caveat is that they’re having cold feet and aren’t being direct about their feelings. It’s not like you to dance around a topic and engage in small talk, so in order to avoid that awkwardness, you might shoot your shot and express your feelings. A word of advice: Prepare what you're going to say before confronting them. You’ll get tongue-tied and say things you don't mean to. Listen to what they're telling you, THEN express yourself. You could come to an understanding if you choose to.

Capricorn

December 22 - January 19

Stepping away from the drama and choosing to give the energy back to yourself may be challenging, since you won't back down. Even a calm sea-goat like you has limits to how much they can take. This week, you are unwilling to compromise on an argument, causing it to go on for days. Even though you are right, it’s best to find a middle ground with the person you're feuding with to squash the tension. You'll be able to make your points and maintain the relationship and squash issues. Let go of the power issues currently being brought to you.

Aquarius

January 20 - February 18

The universe has messages for you, but in order to receive the pearls of wisdom, it’s necessary to disconnect from modern technology. Since you’re a zodiac sign who celebrates innovation, not having access to your iPhone may be a challenge. However, doing so will evoke your intuition and help you be in tune with the rhythm of the world. You’ll comprehend why it’s vital to have a break from computers and social media platforms. Not only will you feel at ease, but you'll be able to think clearly and concentrate. Nature is magic. You just have to listen to it.

Pisces

February 19 - March 20

This is a beautiful week to build bonds with your friends, family, and loved ones. Invest your energy into those who matter most to you. You may find that some of your frenemies are reappearing in your life, so it's essential to decide if you want to reconnect with them before you open that door again. Follow what your heart is telling you to do. Even though there have been problems, you might want to give them the benefit of the doubt and see if they have evolved into a better state of being. Hopefully, for your sake, they have.

Aries

March 21 - April 19

Right now, it might seem that instead of getting W’s, you're taking a lot of L’s. That sentiment is brewing inside because you’re not receiving the recognition or feedback you crave. Don’t let people dictate how you feel about yourself. To be the strong ram that you yearn to be, it’s important to remind yourself that you embody the best qualities and characteristics of your sign. When in doubt, recite positive affirmations to remind yourself of how fierce and awesome you are. Everyone needs a boost once in a while — this is the week for you to flex and know your worth.

Taurus

April 20 - May 20

This week’s horoscope is giving 100% pure, raw indulgence. Treating yourself to a lovely gift now and again is wonderful (especially in the upcoming days); however, it’s important to remain on budget and not to overspend. Don't blow all of the money from your summertime gig immediately. Trying to stretch a dollar is ideal. Sales are your friend at this moment, so when you engage in retail therapy, make sure to look at the price tag. And, keep the receipts in your email in case you change your mind or aren't vibing with a few of the items you bought.

Gemini

May 21 - June 20

Facts, no printer: The blinders are coming off and you are realizing that your BFF is acting cringey. At times, they are super competitive with you and don't support your successes. Lately, it's beginning to frustrate you because you always give them cred on social media whenever something extraordinary happens to them. Although they're giving you less than they should regarding friendship, it doesn't mean you should give up on them. Don't let the resentment build. Talk to them about your feels. Odds are that they'll see your side and change. They will feel guilty for disappointing you.

Cancer

June 21 - July 22

You might chuckle to yourself when you hear this week's piping hot tea. The reason why you're lol-ing is because none of it’s true. Knowing the facts of the matter will make you understand that half of what you hear is faulty information. Although it will illuminate the problems in your social network, you’ll find that some people aren’t reliable sources of information as they claim to be and that you shouldn’t take their words at face value. The lesson you’ll learn is that you do not need this messiness in your life.

Leo

July 23 - August 22

Be careful of the web you start weaving when you start to deceive. It's not that you mean to lie to people in your social group, but you are trying to get out of plans and don't know how to let them down without hurting their feelings. You shouldn't stress and make up excuses. The truth is you don't have to explain yourself to anyone, and if you don't feel like doing something, then just don't. There shouldn't be any pressure to behave in this manner. If there is any, then you might want to consider icing out that ‘ship.
