Horoscope for the Week beginning August 31
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
Uranus in Taurus and Saturn in Capricorn, both Earth Element signs reveal emerging changes in the economy. These can be especially linked to 5G or the fifth generation of technology increasing the depth and scope of the internet to dangerous levels both literally and socially/economically. It stands to topple the last of the walls upholding nations as relatively separate entities and turn the world into a global market that will challenge trade tariffs and introduce new laws, customs and norms. Jupiter in Scorpio meanwhile refers to increases in economic power in the hands of the few, the super wealthy and powerful, the multi-national elite.
But, Jupiter will son enters its own sign of Sagittarius in November giving rise to a counter-revolution linked to ethics. Yet, it could also manifest as a new round of assertion from fundamentalist religious groups. We certainly do live in interesting times.
August 31 – Sept. 6
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
The fun and games of summer are not over for you, not yet and as far as you are concerned. In fact, you are willing to work even harder to stretch it, at least a little longer. But don’t wait, your mood is likely to change soon. Already, you are finding your specialness expressed in a more sober and humble tone. But, the urge to rebel against complacency will emerge this week, as well.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Balancing a complex weave of pressures and inspirations continues. Positively, you are accessing creative reserves that ever dwell at the core of your being. Yet, activating these requires that you give more than you may want. This week may best be directed at attending to duties, responsibilities, and studies. Do it now because next week the rebel within will rise.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
Creating order in your life now includes a bout of cleaning and purging. You are focused to uplift and beautify your home. This comes amidst a social cycle that finds you enjoying the company of others yet stretched to cover a lot of bases. Your ambitions to get a lot done remains strong even despite a steady flow of measurable changes occurring both within and without.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
The pace of things is speeding up for you. What has been discussed and imagined for weeks, perhaps even months, is now underway. Your focus includes finances and various forms of investment. Yet, these may feel like expenses. Often, it is a matter of attitude and perspective. Either way, the pace is increasing steadily and will continue all month.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
Getting sorted in your mind includes taking a constructively critical approach. Weighing your options requires stepping back to both reflect within and see the bigger picture. Sometimes, it comes down to doing the math, while at others it includes watching the signs. Regarding the latter, ask for guidance and you will receive it.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
Externally, you are on the march, yet internally circumstances are pushing you to be realistic. As complicated as this cycle may feel, at least you are not charging blindly ahead. While your rationale may include the likelihood of returns, it could prove advantageous to give more consideration to what you can offer. Let your heart to the thinking now for best results.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Balancing the inner retreat with outer social involvement continues. By next week, the retreat urge will increase. This is a good time to rest and recharge. Doing so can come in the form of reading a good book, which is something of an outside-in process. Digging deep to lay claim to your power and authority balanced by your empathy and understanding enters the final stage for this round, this week.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Big changes close on relationship fronts continue to roll in. These are challenging some of your core beliefs. In some respects, this is the new norm. The good news is that this shaking may produce some real breakthroughs. Your energy levels continue to run high adding to this perky cycle. Yes, fasten your seatbelts, Mars re-entering Aquarius next week indicates a bumpier ride.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The spotlight is being directed your way. You may even be asking for the attention. You want to be seen, heard, acknowledged and rewarded for your efforts. Feeling as confident as you like remains an elusive goal. This stands to change in the near future, but not quite yet. This is a spiritual challenge, a test of faith.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
The Sun in Virgo and Mars direct in Capricorn should be manifesting as a boost. Yet, the focus includes sober and serious concerns and responsibilities. Fortunately, these are just the kind you like unless the sea goat in you is more prominent than the mountain goat. This is often true if you are born in December. Either way, the currents are supportive.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
Virgo time for you signifies a cycle of personal transformation. It is linked to getting clear of your priorities and taking better care of yourself. Currently, it emphasizes opportunities to create more harmony on relationship fronts. This includes digging beneath the surface to uncover and clear certain blocks and limitations. Do the work to increase internal freedom.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
A steady flow of interaction on relationship fronts continues. These are linked to business and pleasure, or your public life as well as your professional. Rebellious feelings regarding outer realities have and continue to generate deep feelings. This will shift soon to a process of inner work linked to liberating yourself from fears and projections.
