Weekly Horoscope: August 5–11, 2024

This week is pretty lowkey, thanks to the abundance of earthy Virgo energy hanging around. So, just sticking to your usual routine and trying not to do anything too out-there is probably the best way to breeze through the week.

The effects of Mercury (the cosmic conversationalist) retrograde in steady Virgo are still in full force all week, so when things do go wrong—and they will—don’t panic. Slow down and take a breather to see if the problem is really as bad as you were anticipating. If it is, you’ve got logical options. And if maybe you were overthinking things just a liiiiiiitle bit, enjoy that feeling of relief.

Wednesday’s meetup between communicative Mercury and caring Venus (representing the desire for harmony) in clear-headed Virgo is the perfect aspect to make some important decisions, especially about love or money. This is a great time to plan ahead and set some goals. You excel at making lists, signing documents and getting everything in order now.

When commitment-driven asteroid Juno enters relationship-focused Libra on Friday, it’s all about the partnerships in your life. Balance is key, and whether it’s love or business, you value the yin-yang of human connection. Your relationships thrive when there’s an obvious exchange of equality, fairness, and respect.

Taurus

There’s a lot going on, which is even more reason you need to take time out for self-care. You might think you don’t have time for a break, Taurus, but you’re so much more productive when you schedule grounding activities that connect you to nature, like hiking or gardening. Retail therapy also works, but overspending is a no-no.

Watch what you say this week, Sagittarius. Making promises you know you can’t keep makes you look bad.
