Your Weekly Horoscope: July 28 – August 3, 2021
Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
Regardless of what you do, if you don’t have tools to cope with your emotions, they are likely to catch up with you, Leo. This week may find you feeling the sting of relationship problems, and while it kind of sucks, it’s not necessarily bad. Be honest with yourself about what you’ve been doing and your motivations for doing it. By focusing on your own role and participation you can not only see the truth, which they say will set you free, but also act in ways that help move things in the right direction.

Virgo
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
This week is likely to confront you with some very delicate matters. On the one hand, it’s important that you maintain your focus on the big picture and allow that focus to be infused with optimism. On the other hand, there are some very specific personal changes you’ve been working towards that are important for you to now follow through on and embody. The key is to prioritize what sparks joy and not just pleasure—the former ripples through all of your life and the latter may be fleeting and have unpleasant consequences.

Libra
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
This isn’t the time to be thinking in terms of “right” and “wrong.” Instead, consider whether it’s authentic or not, and think in terms of action and consequence. You’re not perfect and neither is anyone else. Don’t seek freedom from all struggle or consequences because that’s not possible. Simply act in ways that you can stand behind, regardless of what results.

Scorpio
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
It would be easy to become fearful and somewhat obsessive this week, but it won’t help you or any situation you find yourself in. Strive to be self protective when you’re feeling out of sorts, Scorpio. You don’t need to take in anything extra when you are feeling so rattled within yourself. Give yourself a break, even if only for a few hours or a few days, so that you can reset your approach if you need to.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
It’s time for you to let go of the pieces of yourself that you know you’ve outgrown, Sagittarius. While the astrology of this week is really difficult, you’re in a strong position to step up and make the most of it. This will require that you actualize on the changes and insights you’ve been working on in recent months instead of falling back on old habits. If you can do this it will be much like passing through a portal—you’re on the verge of major growth and it’s a beautiful thing, my friend.

Capricorn
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
You don’t have enough information to make sense of it all, but that doesn’t mean that something bad is happening, Capricorn. This week you may be struggling with uncertainty and the mounting impulse to make the worst of things. When you can’t be optimistic, do your best to be neutral in the face of your own negativity. Prioritize your frame of mind before you create an action plan. The way you’re feeling won’t last but it requires your attention in the here and now.

Aquarius
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
It’s time to take an active role in bringing healing to your relationships. If you have been avoiding dealing with things or simply not attending to the people in situations that you care about, this week is the time to step up. Nobody likes being vulnerable, but the benefits of being vulnerable with people who have earned your trust are massive and far reaching. Show up, to the best of your ability, even when it would be easier to hide.

Pisces
Feb. 19-March 20
You may find yourself confronted with major stresses that spark a self-esteem crisis this week. It may be tempting to focus on the details, and while they are certainly important, obsessing about them won’t help you or your situation. Take the time to reconnect with who you are, Pisces. Instead of looking for the answers outside of yourself, ground into the here and now so that you can assess your resources and make the best choice for the next best step. Take it one day at a time, my love.

Aries
March 21-April 19
This week you’re likely to find yourself confronted by a frustrating situation or a person who is being a bit of a thorn in your side. Take the time to consider others' perspectives before you go on the defensive, Aries. The lesson weaving itself through your life at this time is to be open to different ways of saying things. This is not so that you change as much as so that your world view expands.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
As the saying goes, “the view is always better from the highroad.” This week is likely to confront you with some meaningful decisions to make and if you make them from your pettiest impulses, you’re not likely to enjoy the consequences. Even if it takes longer or is harder, strive to leave foundations that will ultimately be a blessing to build upon, Taurus. Move steadily towards building the life you authentically want to live.

Gemini
May 21-June 21
The thing about boundaries is that in order to have clear ones, you need to foundationally be clear inside of yourself about your capacity, needs and limits. This week is likely to test you in this regard, twin star. Instead of obsessing about what a person said or what their motive was, focus on your own side of the street. Don’t feed what you don’t want to see grow, and nurture the rest.

Cancer
June 22-July 22
You have been working really hard on yourself and it shows, moonchild. This week is an important one for your development. You are on the hook to embody and integrate so much of the wisdom that you have accrued in recent months. It’s hardest to try something new when you’re feeling insecure or beat down, but it’s also when it can be the most impactful. Approach old problems in new, more effective ways this week.
