Weekly horoscope: Aug. 30-Sept. 5

After the lunar eclipse in Pisces last week, action and planning will come from your shedding. The sun in Virgo shifts us to focus on the details of our lives, so the added tension from Mercury in Virgo on Tuesday will reveal exactly what makes you uncertain. This week will be hard, but with a shift in perspective, you can turn the wheel. Everything will be Earth focused, so being grounded is the desire of the week. 

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Someone deserves your attention, Aries. Strengthening your connections will have a positive effect on your mental health, including your career, so don’t stress about your obligations so much. You will feel emotionally successful if you grab a friend or classmate to chat with while trying a new fall coffee. Perhaps a coffee will fully heal you. 

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

This week is a lot of double-checking yourself. You have time to craft the perfect sentence as the universe will give you all the answers to your uncertainties. Everything you do alone pours into your social life, so don’t neglect your self-care or creativity. Look inward at how impulsive you are, Taurus. 

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

You are ready to leap, Gemini. Fire will give you the idea and Earth will help you execute it. In your confidence, don’t neglect your friends or health. Drinking is a bad idea this week. Taking big leaps without proper practice can cause you to fall. Gemini, don’t take a leap into a relationship either, you are going to be quite hot and cold. Also, make sure someone isn’t committed to another jump before you ask them to jump with you. 

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Your finances will be in order and you might have enough extra to treat yourself this week. However, you might need to talk with your loved ones about what you stand for. The pressure from relationships can cause you to crack, so sort out your feelings. A fight about politics may cause you to realize you are incompatible with someone. 

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

People will not shy away from affection if you admit your flaws. Including others in your plans will help you discover where your plans fall short. Loosen up and connect with others. Invite your friends on a walk, but make sure your attitude doesn’t alienate your loved ones. 

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

The sun and Mercury are in your sign this week, making you the perfect person to talk to. Your emotional intelligence will help you fix any misunderstandings that arise. Love is definitely at the forefront for you this week, whether it’s a deeper understanding with your current partner or unexpected chemistry with someone new. 

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

You need to find an outlet for your emotions, Libra. Be patient with those around you, even if it feels like you’re doing all the work. Remain calm because an outburst has consequences. If you look into patterns that are hurting you, you might notice that it is time to leave.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Listen carefully and observe this week, Scorpio. You might believe others are trying to trigger you, so you need to learn to chill out. Conversation is important, but sometimes listening can reveal much more about the other person. Some words for you this week are “compromise” and “charisma.” They seem odd together, but this week you might be smooth without having to talk at all. 

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Jupiter is in Leo and Saturn is in Aries this week, which will help you balance freedom and commitment. You’ve been thinking a lot about domestic life recently, but your dismissive attitude might have your partner feeling the effects. Maintain a good relationship with others this week. The right balance between responsibility and passion will keep you from being a stubborn mess. 

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

You know how to show off your abilities, Capricorn. Your sign is known as being a workaholic, but you just feel so inspired. Making room for leisure time is boosting your levels of excitement. Good job on balancing work and life; however, don’t neglect your loved ones. Keep looking for improvement in your relationships. If you’re single, however, your flirtation has never been better. 

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

No one is threatening you, Aquarius. Calm down if someone gives you criticism, it is not personal. Don’t let your productivity be ruined by how much you want to change things or disappear at the first sight of emotional distress. Use your energy thoughtfully, Aquarius. 

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Something good is on the horizon. You are feeling energized and can tackle anything. Don’t let anyone rain on your parade. Take notice of who shows up or makes you feel emotionally fulfilled. Some people like to use your consideration for them to their advantage, but you’re allowed to pick and choose who you go out of your way for.
