Weekly Horoscope: August 1 – August 7, 2022

🍎综述🍎 FEVER PITCH The conjunction of Mars to Uranus and the North Node in Taurus promises to bring matters to a head after weeks of rising tension. This is bound to impact your finances, property, and maybe even physical well-being. Oftentimes one fears the worst during a planetary line-up like this, but it can also signal a major shift or unexpected change in direction that isn’t necessarily bad. Yes, things that were on an upswing may come crashing down however it’s just as likely that things that were declared over and done with can suddenly shows signs of life. Uranus, the planet of revolution and change, delights in introducing all kinds of reversals, about-faces, and surprise upsets. It loves to shake things up, but it can also open our mind to unrecognized possibilities. Perhaps the best way to think of this week’s extraordinary conjunction is as a breaking fever. It’s never a pleasant experience, but once that fever’s broken you know that you’re on the road to recovery.

ARIES (March 20 – April 18) This is the week you walk out on all those thankless commitments or obligations you feel have been holding you back. It’s going to be hard not to when Mars conjoins Uranus and the north node on August 1st. But it won’t just be kicking over the game table and sending all the pieces flying. Mars is in earthy Taurus after all which means that any move you make is aimed at achieving a better paying job or position. Unfortunately this will upset those who have come to depend on you which means you’ll need to find a way to break the news to them gently.

TAURUS (April 19 – May 19) Are you fighting to hold on or are you struggling to be free? It’s hard to tell which is which when Mars conjoins Uranus on August 1rst. Planet of revolution and change, Uranus wreaks havoc on our sense of direction when it’s powerful in your solar horoscope. Normally you would be well-advised to postpone all big decisions for now, but that’s not going to happen. You’re feeling too pressured to do something definitive. Whatever your decision, try to leave open the possibility of revisiting the matter in the future. You don’t want to burn a bridge that you may be looking to cross back over.

GEMINI (May 20 – June 20) Crisis brings opportunity. It’s a hopeful mantra we all try to tell ourselves, but it’s actually something you’ve gotten good at recognizing given all of the wild curve-balls you’ve been thrown in life. Most people would man their battle stations when faced with what you’ll be facing this week, but you can already see how developments could be turned to your advantage. Continue to tune out the clamor, focus on how things change from moment to moment, and trust your improvisational instincts because it will be this kind of quick thinking that turns a fiasco into a triumph when Mercury trines Uranus on August 16th.

CANCER (June 21 – July 21) This is going to be a rough week for most, but not for you. That’s because Venus, the planetary ruler of Taurus, is in your zodiac sign forming benevolent aspects to Mars, Uranus, and the north node. Translation? The crazy Cosmic forces that are threatening to upend others’ stability and sanity will materialize in your life as zephyr breezes gently stroking your cheek and caressing your hair. It’s the perfect time to dawdle, meander, and maybe even pursue an opportunity – but only if you want to. This cosmic idyll lasts until August 11th when Venus changes signs. After that it’s back to the real world.

LEO (July 22 – Aug. 21) Have you ever been white-water rafting? That’s what it’s going to feel like when Mars conjoins Uranus on August 1st. The tricky thing about Uranian energy is it’s hard to tell if you’re experiencing a breakdown or a breakthrough. In any case you’ll feel like your life is being shaken to its foundations, but believe it or not this is a good thing. The prominence of the north node at this time means these changes are meant to take you to the next level. It’s hard to see now, but don’t abandon ship because after the 14th you’ll round the corner and enter peaceful waters.

VIRGO (Aug. 22 – Sept. 21) Not all fusterclucks are bad. Some can be good as you’ll see when Mercury enters Virgo on August 4th. Not only does this give you a foxhole to dive into, it also provides a vantage point to watch what unfolds. Anything on its last legs – shaky commitments, tenuous ceasefires, and temporary fixes – will collapse. It’s a good thing too because you’ve been warning people about this for a long time. What you won’t be ready for is everyone heralding you as the go-to person in a crisis. This change in status will be as swift as it is sudden so lace up those running shoes.

LIBRA (Sept. 22 – Oct. 22) The Mars/Uranus conjunction on August 1 impacts your partnerships – be they romantic or professional. Interestingly the fallout looks like it will be more financial than emotional. Solar eighth house flare ups often upset bank balances and you may be suddenly beset with unexpected costs or it could affect the finances of those who owe you – causing them to backpedal or even try to renege on their commitments. It’s important in times like these to remain calm and to keep all letters of intent and signed agreements handy. It may seem cold citing terms and conditions in a time of crisis, but that’s why God invented contracts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) The South Node in your sign and opposite the Mars/Uranus conjunction in Taurus this week shows that you’ll be the one saying goodbye to a longstanding commitment or secure situation. But is this a bad thing? Maybe. Maybe not. Sometimes you need something extraterrestrial like this to shake you free of a behavior pattern that’s counter-productive and regressive. It might be an obsession, expectation, or vendetta. Whatever it is it’s not doing you any good because it’s rooted in the past and getting in the way of where you need to go. Harsh perhaps, but you’ll soon see you’re better off without the emotional baggage.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 20) A debacle at work lands you in the hot seat. Technically speaking it’s not your fault but since you’re the supervisor you’ll be expected to take responsibility. This is typically the time when most people in your shoes would hang an underling out to dry, but not you. You know what it’s like to be abandoned by higher ups and swore you’d never do that to someone who works for you. Be candid about what happened and promise to take care of it. It’s the only thing anyone’s interested in. The sooner you come up with an action plan, the sooner you save the day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21 – Jan. 18) Someone’s going to want something from you on August 7th and it’s your job not to give it to them. Capricorns usually don’t mind running a cold shower on people’s heated demands, but this won’t be easy because it involves someone you care about or a friend who once did you a good turn in the past. Yet just because you have to say no doesn’t mean you can’t find a way to help. It won’t be easy convincing them that there’s another way but there is – and it’s one that will prove to be a better solution than what this person had in mind.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 19 – Feb. 17) It’s never a good idea to ask if things can get any worse – especially when there’s a Mars/Uranus conjunction on August 1st followed by a Mars/Saturn square on August 7th. It’s going to feel like all the Super Villains are ganging up on you. They’re not, but it’s understandable how you’d feel that way. The best thing to do when your world is falling apart is to let it because it’s only after the dust has settled that you’ll see what’s worth salvaging. Ironically these sorts of planetary aspects often wind up doing more good than harm – even if it doesn’t look like that now.

PISCES (Feb. 18 – March 19) You may not be the one going through the craziness this week, but you certainly know a lot of people who are which means that they’ll be turning to you for solace and support. This is something that those born under Pisces do best. You have this amazing ability to tune into others on a deep and soulful level and to sit with them in their hurt. Some might find the experience draining – especially given how many distress calls you’ll be answering – but you’ve never felt more alive. Pisces has more than enough love to go around and you will always make time to listen.
