WITCH TIPS

Major changes are coming our way this week! The Leo Sun squares off with Uranus, who’s in Taurus, on August 6, making us move towards unique growth and power. The Leo New Moon occurs on August 8, the same day as the magical Lion’s Gate portal reaches peak potency. This means that it’s a wonderful time to manifest abundance and change. Venus, who’s in Virgo, and Neptune, who’s retrograde in Pisces, connect on August 9 and add sensitivity in matters of the heart. Mercury, who’s in Leo, opposes Jupiter, who’s retrograde in Aquarius, on August 10, allowing us to see matters from a different perspective. 

Aries 

Creativity runs through you this week. The only foreseeable issue is that you are second-guessing your artistic notions. Don’t psych yourself out of trying something new by focusing on the fears within yourself. Instead of worrying about how your endeavors will be received, create them for the sake of artistry.

Taurus 

This week, you’ll have to navigate through the forces in the professional and personal parts of your world without disrupting the equilibrium. It’ll be hard and challenging, which means that you will have to be mindful of the energy you give out. Finding balance in life is a juggling act. 

Gemini 

Stop listening to the voices in your head that are telling you not to do things and to stay put in your lane. You can speed off and do your own thing if you believe in yourself. Take a bold leap of faith. The moment to be brave is now.

Cancer 

Doing right and good by others can be tough, especially when they don’t reciprocate the sentiment. Rather than argue your points, it’s best to take a step back and see the different perspectives of the situation. This will allow you to make the best decisions possible in assessing the matter.

Leo 

You are a force to be reckoned with when others try to assert themselves into your life. However, you haven’t been treating others with the same respect you are demanding from them. Be ready to make changes in the amount of energy you give others. Learn to respect their boundaries.

Virgo 

Healing doesn’t happen fast overnight, it takes time. If you give yourself the space to mend your heart and mind, then change can happen at a soulful level. Be ready to do the work and embrace your shadow side to heal the parts of yourself that need to be fixed.

Libra 

In order to feel complete, you may consider giving your time freely to others. Get it involved in a charity or humanitarian project to allow yourself to connect with the world on a grander level. This act will give you the inspiration and motivation to heal yourself while helping others.

Scorpio 

You cannot resist change. If you do then it will happen in ways that you can’t control and affect your life in major ways. Allow growth and transformation to happen. Evolve with the times and open yourself up to new possibilities. Amazing things will unfold and happen if you do.

Sagittarius 

What are your dreams for the future? It’s time to get your intentions straight and make your visions a reality. Being totally concise about what you want will bring it to you easily and without a hitch. Once you become clear about what you want, you can manifest it easily.

Capricorn 

Your intuition is turned on, making you aware of all of the subconscious acts of others as well as their motives. Listen to what your gut and intuition is telling you this week. You may find that the truth is stranger than fiction, but your sentiments are 100% turned on.

Aquarius 

If you’re ready, you can turn over a new leaf with others. Take stock of the people who you want to keep in your life and work on making the relationship better. You may find there are some relationships you’ve outgrown, which means you have to let go of them.

Pisces 

There is a desire to make amends with those whom you’ve had issues with recently. However, it’s inadvisable to make the first move in mending fences until they are wanting to make changes in their lives. Take the backseat in their path towards growth and focus on your own healing.
