August 24th kicks off Uranus’s backward spin in Taurus that lasts until January 22, 2023. At this time, the desire to evolve will take a backseat to the need to work through existing issues. Mercury enters Libra on August 25th, adding compromise and calmness to communication. Venus in Leo and the Nodes of Destiny square each other on August 25th, pushing us to make life-changing decisions that we may not be ready for. While August 27th New Moon in Virgo shakes up our world, due to the square from Mars in Gemini. On the same day, Venus squares Uranus urging us to break free from the romantic and financial ties that are holding us back. The following day, Venus and Saturn retrograde in Aquarius oppose each other, urging us to kiss and make up with others with whom we’ve argued from the New Moon drama. 

Aries 

New ideas, deals, monetary gains, ventures, and partnerships are being brought to you through your business contacts who want to align with you on future projects. Show them how much you truly value their sentiments by giving them positive feedback and letting them take the lead to stroke their ego.

Taurus 

The actions you take now surrounding investments will have positive results down the road—as long as you are open to the advice others are giving. This energy is especially wonderful for solidifying a major gamble you’re wanting to take, an extensive and expensive purchase, or anything that requires financial planning.

Gemini 

You're motivating yourself for success this week—but don't let the main incentive be impressing your peers and colleagues. Everyone craves approval now and again. However, you should want to achieve greatness to help your own situation and for your own means—not for a popularity contest at the office.

Cancer 

You may find yourself endlessly thinking about misunderstandings that are occurring in your peer group. Before you jump to conclusions and make assessments, try to have a conversation with them in order to clear the air. That way you can make amends and move forward without any major problems occurring.

Leo 

You may be feeling like you’re standing on quicksand and your foundation is cracking. Things aren’t moving as smoothly as you want, but it doesn’t mean that you’re down for the count. Make a simple, temporary plan to get out of your current rut and then make strategic moves forward.

Virgo 

Recently, there have been many roadblocks standing in your way of professional success. Now, they are opening up and creating space for you to strive. Use this energy to your advantage and don’t let anything stand in the way of attaining the triumphs you deserve at this moment in time.

Libra 

In case you're feeling tense, be attentive and assume responsibility for your feelings. If you don’t engage in negative conversations with others and yourself, then you can move through the week swimmingly well. Just have some faith in yourself and all that you do to ensure you can assume calmness.

Scorpio 

Mind-boggling circumstances will attempt to throw you off course throughout the week. Surround yourself with others who will motivate and inspire you to make space for fresh new ideas and eclectic arrangements; this will help you to refocus on the things that are most important and center your positive energy.

Sagittarius 

It’s a great week for making amends with people from your past. Put your pride to the side and make an effort to connect with old acquaintances; you’ll be rewarded with renewed friendships and acceptance in the end. The easier you are on yourself and others, the more healing can happen.

Capricorn 

In the event that there is somebody you need to give a progressively significant job in your life, let them know or offer them a hint. On the off chance that this person does not respond to your efforts that aren’t changing your methodology, simply stick around for your chance.

Aquarius 

Unimaginable challenges may cause you to withdraw from encounters with others. Don’t close yourself off from those who care about you, their support will help you heal and bring you some kindness which is going to help you evolve and transcend into the person you want to be now.

Pisces 

Although you may not feel like you’re having the best time at work, don’t let the adversities consume your mind. It will be easy for you to overcome these feelings by having confidence in your work and self, despite the sentiments that are running through your head at the moment.
