The thrilling weekend finally comes to an end and a busy week is ahead so let’s see what stars have stored in for you in your weekly Astro prediction by the World renowned Astro writer Joanne Madeline Moore.
Horoscope (August 6, 2018 – August 12, 2018)
ARIES [March 20-April 20]
Rams usually love to rush! But with Mars and Mercury both retrograde, your need for speed is curtailed and everything seems to move at a snail’s pace. Creative projects and exciting hobbies are favoured, but your patience will wear thin with pedantic people, frustrating family members and confusing communication. You prefer a spontaneous approach but you’ll find some sort of daily routine will help you tackle projects in a more sustainable and satisfying way.
TAURUS [April 21-May 21]
Expect some domestic dramas, as the Solar Eclipse and retrograde Mercury stir up old family grievances. Use your diplomatic talents to help find solutions but, if you just sit back and let others make decisions, then you’ll feel paralysed and powerless. So strive to be more self-sufficient, especially at home and work. Getting the ratio right between your public and private lives is challenging. However, if anyone can juggle conflicting commitments, it’s a well-balanced Bull!
GEMINI [May 22-June 21]
This week, with Mercury Retrograde, Mars Retrograde, Jupiter and the Solar Eclipse all stirring things up, expect some frustrating disruptions and delays involving commerce, cars, computers, travel, holidays and/or phones. And make sure you are especially careful with what you put on social media, as it will be very easy for others to completely misinterpret your true meaning. If you are a smart Twin, then you’ll check and re-check everything before you post.
CANCER [June 22-July 23]
You’ll be walking on a financial and communication tightrope this week Crabs! With Mercury retro, Mars retro and the Solar Eclipse all stirring up your money zones, you’re primed for a spontaneous spending spree. But can your bank balance support what your heart desires? In order to avoid problems you must think before you spend … and think before you speak. It doesn’t take long to blurt something out but it takes a lot longer to repair the damage afterwards.
The Solar Eclipse (in your sign) highlights your inclination to jealous, possessive or overbearing behaviour. It’s time to loosen your intense grip on a loved one Leo! Otherwise you’ll drive them away with your Drama Queen antics and demanding demeanour. You’re in the mood to text and tweet; socialise and circulate. But are you sending mixed messages? And are others happy to hear what you’ve got to say? Strive to be much more discriminating and diplomatic.
VIRGO [Aug 24-Sep 23]
With Mercury retrograde and the Solar Eclipse activating your karma zone, be careful how you treat other people (in person and online). Selfish behaviour, unrealistic expectations or unfair criticism will just boomerang back on you! So your mantra is from birthday babe, Leo model and actress Cara Delevingne. “The energy you give off is the energy you receive.” Some quiet meditation or soulful contemplation will help you get through the week in a more relaxed state.
LIBRA [Sep 24-Oct 23]
Your power planet Venus vamps into your sign on Monday (where it stays until September 9. So you’ll be at your charming, charismatic and cooperative best. But you could still experience problems with a family member, friend, colleague or acquaintance who is envious of your numerous talents and achievements. Don’t waste precious time feeling disheartened and disappointed. Just flash them a lovely Libran smile and encourage them to follow their dreams!
SCORPIO [Oct 24-Nov 22]
With the Solar Eclipse and retrograde Mercury activating your career zone, proceed carefully with a complicated professional project. If you are too hasty (or too stubborn) then you’ll experience communication problems with a work colleague, client or customer. Strong feelings could resurface in close relationships, as loved ones push your emotional buttons. Simmer down and settle down, otherwise you run the risk of turning a minor matter into a major obsession.
SAGITTARIUS [Nov 23-Dec 21]
Be careful your spontaneous Sagittarian spirit doesn’t land you in unexpected trouble! You’re keen to communicate but, if you rush in and say the first thing on your mind, then you could find yourself regretting your haste. Many adventurous Archers are keen to head off on an overseas trip, interstate interlude or weekend getaway. But remember Mercury and Mars are both reversing through your travel zones. So double-check your itinerary (carefully) before you go.
CAPRICORN [Dec 22-Jan 20]
Has your strict inner parent taken over? Don’t be too hard on yourself – or others. And don’t overdo the criticism (no matter how ‘constructive’ it is). Striving for perfection will be fraught with frustrations (especially on Thursday and Friday) so relax and try to take things as they come. If you’re feeling worried or stressed then turn to a wise friend or mentor for some sensible advice and words of wisdom. But car or money problems do need to be attended to as soon as possible.
AQUARIUS [Jan 21-Feb 19]
With Mars reversing through Aquarius, everything feels as if it’s one step forwards and two steps back! You can also expect some communication mayhem this week, as Mercury continues reversing through your relationship zone. Loved ones will certainly test your tolerance and self-restraint. If you are firm and flexible (which is a tricky balance) then you’ll be able to navigate your way through the constantly changing landscape. Patience and persistence are the keys.
PISCES [Feb 20-March 20]
Retrograde Mercury and the Solar Eclipse stimulate your job and daily routine zone. So expect communication chaos, relationship rumbles or work frustrations this week. It’s also a time when (courtesy of retrograde Mars) unresolved issues from the past could be dredged up all over again. So try to release pent up Piscean frustrations via a chat with a trusted family member or close friend. Spending quality time with your favourite four-legged friend will also lift your spirits.
