Leo

July 23 - August 22

In matters of the heart, you’re both a lover and a fighter. The week ahead urges you to commit to what and who you love. No matter how hard it may seem to get the attention of the person you’re crushing on or pick a major that you can stick with for the next four years, the moment of making defining decisions in your life is here. If you have to be pushy or obnoxious in attaining your goals and dreams than so be it. Nothing can stop you on your way to achieving the success you desire.

August 23 - September 22

You’re not one to move on from the past quickly because of your reflective nature. This week, however, you want to focus on moving forward without looking back. Of course there will be moments when the universe tests you — but, you have the power and will to know that it’s not emotionally healthy to dwell on things that cannot be undone. Moving forward is scary, mostly because you like to take your time to assess your feelings. It’s a necessary step in your journey and progression to happiness. A new dawn is coming your way soon…stay tune

September 23 - October 22

Try not to let your ego get ahead of you this week. Although you mostly try to stay humble at all times, others are finding that the positive feedback you are receiving for your artistry is going straight to your head. Because you’re beginning to feel yourself, it may push you act in superior and snotty ways that can be detrimental to your friendships. Therefore, it’s important that you stay grounded, even though you are receiving a lot of praise and encouragement about your talents. Check yourself before you wreck yourself, Libra.

Scorpio

October 23 - November 21

Being that you’re used to your love life’s dark and stormy nature, it’s hard to gauge when matters escalate to an eleven. Listen to the advice others are giving you. Don’t run away from those who want to help you. TBH, you never know what pearls of wisdom they have for you regarding your situationship. Keep in mind that your pals are trying to help and not work against you — so even if you don’t want to hear it try to not project any negativity on your BFFs for having your back and trying to help you out.

November 22 - December 21

As school commences, you’re finding that you are having a hard time keeping up with your daily activities. The dog days of summer are still in full gear and you’re longing for hikes, ocean breezes, and long nights spent alongside friends. Even though you thrive at school, getting back into the mundane habits of attending class and writing term papers is something that you can’t fathom right now. All the more reason for you to find a middle ground here. Consider taking your studies to the outdoor places you enjoy most. That way you get the best of both worlds.

Capricorn

December 22 - January 19

If you’re feeling pressured into a situation or relationship, it’s a sign you should run in the opposite direction. No one has the power to control you. Truth be told, you’re an extremely bold zodiac sign and no one has the right to put demands and expectations on you — especially since you wouldn’t do that to them. Looks like your besties need a lesson in manners and boundaries this week.

Aquarius

January 20 - February 18

Just when you thought it was safe to open the DM from your ex, the message brings unexpected information your way. It’s been a while since you’ve connected with them, which is why it’s surprising that they’re still hung up on you. Since they’ve been gone, you’ve moved on and aren’t interested in pursuing any type of relationship with them. However, their methods of adulation could push you to engage in a flirtatious conversation that leads you into a romantic tailspin. Don’t let your former boo catch you off guard and manipulate their way back into your heart. Stay strong!

February 19 - March 20

Everyone wants to be you, but no one can actually copy your unique style and cool personality. No matter how much they try, they won’t be even close. While you have no qualms with people wanting to wear the same outfits as you, it might get a little frustrating when they begin to pick up on your signature lingo and try to act like you. This is something you should roll off your shoulders until they cross a major boundary. Until then, let them be a copycat. You’re the OG. After all, imitation is the best form of flattery.

March 21 - April 19

Finding a passion project that you can align with will help your spirit soar. It’ll give you a chance to let your creative side be seen by close friends and family — as well as give you something you enjoy doing to put all of your fiery energy into. The more you express yourself through artistic means, the less your frustrations will boil over. Think of this as not only a chance to showcase your talents, but a way to temper your emotions and to calm your anxieties — making it a win-win for you on multiple levels.

Taurus

April 20 - May 20

Real talk: You’re rolling in the deep this week. With your stress levels at a high and your emotions running both hot and cold, it is a good time to deal with your problems by focusing solely on yourself. Self-care can prove to be helpful, as long as you do activities like walking around town, yoga, or meditation that align you with your heart, mind, body, and spirit. Also, talking things out with a trusted confidant will help, too. Don’t be afraid to cry your heart out, sweet Bull. It’ll prove to be the energetic release that you’re looking for.

Gemini

May 21 - June 20

Although you’re not one to shy away from mental gymnastics when talking with others, you’re finding that the current round you are engaged in is too exhausting. Truth be told, not partaking in emotionally challenging and draining situations is a very wise decision — especially when you can waste your energy on other matters that are far more important. Disengage in order to have a positive experience and to maintain a good attitude throughout the course of the upcoming week. You do not need any games and manipulation in your life.

Weekly Horoscope August 14  August 18

Cancer

June 21 - July 22 

Right now, you’re staying as far away from drama as you can. You’re way too busy to care about who said what or why. The tea isn’t of any interest to you and you’re icing out the gossip you hear. If that means taking a temporary break from a few friendships and leaving them on read, so be it. You want calm and peace this week. When you choose to re-emerge, do a temperature check to ensure your texts aren’t flooded with the same dull information.
