It’s a season of major astrological events, and things are going to get just a little bit messier before they clear up for good. Venus continues her retrograde rampage for another few weeks. And if that wasn’t enough to spoil the start of your Virgo season, which begins on August 23, 2023, then the upcoming Mercury retrograde might. When the Sun (ego) and Mercury (communication) meet up in the mutable waters of Virgo this month, there’s a focus on living in the nuance. Virgo energy is normally precise and cutting in its eye for the details: but when Mercury stations retrograde on August 23, 2023 – you can expect setbacks, delays, or frustrations. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Mercury’s cosmic backspin will give you a new perspective on an old situation. So try to keep an open mind during the next week as the energy of this retrograde starts to settle in.
Mars enters Libra later in the week, on August 27, 2023, which will have your plans feeling stalled for a little longer than you’d like. This transit lasts until October 3, 2023, dragging out your indulgent side and inviting you to be lazy. Mars is its weakest when it sits in Libra – which means you’ll need to really motivate yourself to stay on track for the time being. Luckily, Mars entering Libra will put an end to the Mars–Saturn opposition that’s been causing everyone’s plans to spin out of control. After dealing with setback after setback after setback during the last few weeks, taking it easy might be just what the stars ordered. Just be sure that you're finding a balance between relaxing and rotting away.
Aries Weekly Horoscope
Try not to rush through life by wishing you were somewhere else this week, Aries. Mars in Libra will send your plans grinding to a halt – or right off the rails. Your instincts will tell you to work as quickly as possible to get things moving again. But what if you didn’t? It’s easy for passionate and driven Aries to lose focus of what matters, especially when you’ve got your blinders on. And with Mercury retrograde influencing your daily routines, health, and wellness, it’s important to put yourself first. This Virgo season, you’re changing directions and building new foundations. Take your time. You deserve slow days.
Taurus Weekly Horoscope
Hang tight, Taurus – you’re about to get thrown for a loop. Now that Mars is moving into fellow Venus-ruled sign Libra, it’s feeling like nothing really matters to you. This is one transit you’re going to have to drag yourself through. And if you decide to bum around and be lazy this week, do it with a sheet mask and silk pillowcases. Mercury retrograde is also influencing the ways you seek joy and pleasure in your life. It might feel harder to connect with your genuine desires but don’t let that stop you from trying. There’s a real opportunity to find the silver lining this week if you look for it.
Gemini Weekly Horoscope
You might be moving a bit slower this week, Gemini, but you’re still determined to make some progress. Mercury goes retrograde in Virgo this week, and things are about to get busy at home for you. Whether it's past projects that need tending to or something you forgot to take care of – it's time to retrace your steps and wrap up the loose ends. Don't worry about getting everything done in one go. Mars in Libra is your chance to restore balance to your life, and that takes time. Be confident in the things that you plan, and be confident in your ability to pivot when the time calls for it.
Cancer Weekly Horoscope
Virgo season is an emotional one for you, Cancer. Mars in Libra might have you feeling prickly or even combative with your communication this week. It's easy to let your ego do the talking – but does getting in a cheap shot get you closer to a solution? Be aware of how you're speaking to yourself and others. Remember, positive encouragement never hurt anyone. Mercury retrograde will shine the spotlight on your relationships, especially those with siblings and family members. Speaking up when things bother you is scary, but don’t let that stop you from embracing honesty. Just be sure to be kind in your approach.
Leo Weekly Horoscope
You're almost on the other side of the blaze, Leo. Venus retrograde has been changing everything you thought you knew about yourself. And with Mercury linking up with Venus for the final stretch of her retrograde, it's time to reintroduce yourself to the world. You've done a lot of self-exploration this summer. And while there might be some fear about what other people think, there's no turning back now. Luckily, Mars in Libra will feel more energetic and thrilling for you than other signs. Don’t let the current transits take your optimism and joy away from you. Find new ways to put yourself out there.
Virgo Weekly Horoscope
Virgo season kicks off with a bang this week, as Mercury goes retrograde the same day Sun enters Virgo. Things can never just be easy for you, can they? This false start is your chance to review all your plans and double-check that you've got what you need. You're especially prone to issues and problems this month – and you'll fare much better in the coming weeks if you take the time to plan things out now. Mars in Libra will be a good reminder for you to cut yourself some slack with things inevitably do go wrong. No matter how much you obsess over a goal – remember you can't control it all. Deep breath; you'll make it through.
Libra Weekly Horoscope
External conflicts might throw you off this week, Libra. Your planetary ruler Venus is still retrograde, and with Mars entering your sign, there could be major conflicts in your love life. Playing the peacemaker will only set you back further. And people pleasing in favor of being honest isn't going to do you any favors either. What would happen if you just said what was pissing you off out loud? It might sound like a bad idea with Mercury retrograde swirling around. But honesty is the first step toward making the situation better. If you don't address it now, it'll come out later. So you might as well lay it all on the table.
Scorpio Weekly Horoscope
This week is going to feel like two different energies are fighting for your attention, Scorpio. On the one hand, Mars in Libra wants you to get in touch with your dreamy and imaginative side for a bit. You’ve barely scratched the surface of your potential, Scorpio. This is a great time to think bigger than your biggest dreams – and then see what happens when you go for it. On the other hand, Mercury retrograde might have you swimming in some self-doubt. While you won't be able to pinpoint what's making you feel anxious, the feeling will linger anyway. Get outside and get out of your head this week. And don't overwork yourself as a distraction tactic like you usually do.
Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope
This week isn't a horrible one for you, Sagittarius, but it's also not the grooviest. Venus retrograde has been pushing your buttons for a while now. And when Mars enters Libra – the frustration is only going to get worse. The truth is nothing too terrible is happening – you're just used to being able to run away from your problems! Virgo season wants you to get down to business and tap into that famous Sagittarian honesty. And this Mercury retrograde wants you to be serious about how you talk about your goals and aspirations. And while it might feel embarrassing to pour your heart out, it'll put you one step closer to attracting the opportunities that are meant for you.
Capricorn Weekly Horoscope
Virgo season is your chance to take things to the next level, Capricorn. Mars in Libra will place the focus on your career ambitions and leadership skills. A new or unexpected project might fall into your lap at work. Or you might be tasked with cleaning up someone else's mess. Whatever the case – this is your chance to step up and flex your skills. And while you might have the solution right away, Mercury retrograde could cause a delay in the fix coming through. Keep your cool and focus on project managing all parties involved. People are looking to you as an example of what to do. While you're not obligated to perform, who better to set the standard?
Aquarius Weekly Horoscope
Virgo season is going to be really satisfying for you, Aquarius. Venus retrograde is on the other side of the cazimi inferno – meaning your relationships are only looking brighter from this point on. With Mars entering Libra, you're getting a chance to assert yourself in a more sexy, sensual way. Don't be afraid to initiate or take the lead in matters of love and intimacy this week. It's natural to be skeptical of people, but don't let that stop you from finding a meaningful connection. Mercury retrograde might have you feeling like exploring your dark side – and possibly sharing it with someone else. Be open, be honest, be wild, and be free this week. Just don't text that ex. You know which one.
Pisces Weekly Horoscope
With Mars finally separating from its harsh opposition to Saturn, everything will feel like it's moving in slow motion. This sudden shift in energy might seem like a cause for alarm, but it's not. Stop chasing chaos and protect your peace for the next few days. Once a little time has passed, you’ll be able to recollect yourself and move forward with a clear vision in mind. Mercury retrograde might have you feeling tongue-tied when it comes to love. Whether you're single or spoken for, there's a lot of unspoken communication happening for you over the next few weeks. Embrace your mysterious side. It looks good on you.
