Your Horoscope This Week: 28th August to 3rd September, 2022

The week ahead brings juxtaposing energies our way. Venus in Leo and Saturn retrograde in Aquarius oppose each other on 28th August. This can lead to us feeling as though we are misunderstood and unseen by others. Many matters will consume our minds as our investments and cash flow will reach a low. The good news is that the energy will change a few days later. Action planet Mars, who is currently in the air sign Gemini, unites with Jupiter retrograde, who is in fiery Aries, on 1st September. When these two planets come together, we can expect to see an expansion of luck, love, and emotions. The desire to conquer the world and to understand others is great as both planets are pushing us to comprehend situations from a different perspective.

Aries Sun & Aries Rising

You will have the confidence and drive to accomplish something you’ve been putting off for a while. However, it’s important to note that it won’t be an easy task to complete. As long as you believe in your creativity and have faith in your talents, you can achieve your goals. But, for even the most self-assured ram, it can be hard to be strong and daring, especially when everyone is watching you take on an endeavour that showcases your innate talents. In true Aries fashion, you will consider this as an exciting moment to let the world know how amazing you are and how much you can do. Have faith and believe in yourself throughout the week. You got this, Aries!

Taurus Sun & Taurus Rising

The ultimate self-care challenge begins this week when Venus and Saturn retrograde oppose each other on 28th August. All of the stresses from work are falling on your shoulders and causing your anxieties to rise to extremely intense heights. The lesson is to take a step back and focus on yourself — something that will be necessary on 1st September when Mars and Jupiter retrograde connect. The practice of implementing daily self-care into your life will make you a better person because you’ll have time to restore and reinvigorate your spirit while connecting with your body and heart. Detoxing from a hard day’s work will make you more present in your relationships because you’ll have the patience and energy to engage in a loving manner.

Gemini Sun & Gemini Rising

You’ll likely get the sense that you’ve been blessed with good fortune when Mars, who is aligned with your sun, and Jupiter retrograde, link up on 1st September. Do your best not to overindulge in all the delicious gifts in store for you — a difficult task because this energy lends itself to a hunger for living life to its fullest. You will find yourself desiring the highest quality goods to satiate those desires for the opulence. You may find yourself more interested in educating yourself or attracted to people with a great deal of success and money. There will likely be little to no patience for anything but the facts as you seek justice along with the most ethical solution.ILLUSTRATION BY BARBARIANFLOWER

Cancer Sun & Cancer Rising

You’ll feel overwhelmed with the amount of chatter going on in your various circles and communities. Pay careful attention to the news and events swirling around you before jumping to conclusions and assumptions. The connection between Mars and Jupiter retrograde on 1st September means that the information could be less scandalous than you thought. And while Mars in Gemini wants to talk matters out, Jupiter retrograde wants to spread the gossip all around town. The media may also be pushing forward a strong element of ego that could affect you in ways you never could’ve imagined.

Leo Sun & Leo Rising

Issues from the past may bubble up to the surface, and old traumas could be up for review when Venus, who is aligned with your sun, opposes Saturn retrograde on 28th August. This aspect can also result in obsessive behaviours, so check yourself if you begin to spiral over woes in the romance department. Do not be afraid to set boundaries if you need a break from others right now, because the cosmos could throw you for a loop and create arguments. The best way to handle the week is to stay calm and avoid talking to people who trigger or upset you. You have enough on your plate and do not need the extra agenda or any unnecessary issues at this moment.ILLUSTRATION BY BARBARIANFLOWER

Virgo Sun & Virgo Rising

What a lovely week to dream! You may find yourself fantasizing about the future, making it a great time to reflect on your ambitions. The cosmic connection between Mars and Jupiter on 1st September is wonderful for setting intentions, so it’s a good week to write down your personal and professional goals. This energy brings an abundance of transformative potential and helpful aspects while adding an extra bit of luck into the mix. Communicating your desires to the universe can have big payouts later. Just make sure that you’re asking for assistance around goals that are grounded in reality and be prepared to work hard for the greatness you desire.

Libra Sun & Libra Rising

There is an interplay between power and authority that just doesn’t seem to let up. Bosses and colleagues might even try some shady moves that have you questioning your desire to work with them. These relationships need to find a compromise in order for everyone to move forward in a cohesive way. You cannot take on everything yourself. Try not to give up your own sense of peace in order for a colleague to maintain their happiness. That mindset isn’t really going to remedy any snags or situations along the way. Sweeping things under the rug never served a greater purpose and being that you do not like confrontation, it will be a challenge to speak up, even though you have to.

Scorpio Sun & Scorpio Rising

This week brings an abundance of inspiration and vivid dreams. Take some time to journal after you’ve woken up because this celestial energy loves to play with new thoughts and ideas. The vibes will be super uplifting but can lead to overstimulation if you’re not careful so remember to ground and stay present in your body. Luckily, the upcoming days yield an abundance of healing, allowing our cares to dissolve away. Remember to stay on top of your priorities during work hours but when you get home the focus should only be on relaxation. Give yourself permission to escape the world and melt into an evening of calm before bed.

Sagittarius Sun & Sagittarius Rising

This week’s cosmic atmosphere will provide deep and intense emotions and stir up a desire for close connections, so make sure you’re only surrounding yourself with positive people who support you. As the witching hour nears on 1st September, which brings Mars and Jupiter retrograde together, you will feel the need to get more intimate than ever. It’s important to let your guard down with people you can trust (and have proven themselves to you time and again) because you want to share your past and future aspirations with them. ILLUSTRATION BY BARBARIANFLOWER

Capricorn Sun & Capricorn Rising

When Venus and Saturn, who is your planetary ruler, oppose each other on 28th August, tension around money will build due to the lack of Benjamins in your bank account. Money comes and goes, but it never has escaped your clutches at such a rampant rate before (you’re great at managing money). Before you let your financial lull get the best of you, know that you have the potential to manifest more money on 1st September, when Mars and Jupiter retrograde harmonise. That’s when you should ask for a raise and promotion. Chances are your boss will say “yes” and help you attain the financial success you want.ILLUSTRATION BY BARBARIANFLOWER

Aquarius Sun & Aquarius Rising

Problems can arise within relationships if you don’t give them tender care this week. With Venus and Saturn retrograde juxtaposing energies on 28th August, you may find that you’re wanting to control your crush/significant other or the dynamic of the partnership. Take some space in order to clear your head and figure out the best ways to proceed. Just because you’re not getting a lot of attention at the moment or feeling the love doesn’t mean that they don’t care about you. In fact, you will find the opposite to be true on 1st September when Mars and Jupiter retrograde connect.ILLUSTRATION BY BARBARIANFLOWER

Pisces Sun & Pisces Rising

Taking time to work on your goals can bring mental stability that is lost on those who do not find ways to channel this energy in a productive manner. The opposition between Venus and Saturn retrograde on 28th August could create hiccups when it comes to problem-solving, so don’t beat yourself up if you get stuck on a particular issue. If you’re unable to make headway, step away from the project for a few days. You may find that your thoughts are clearer after a good night’s rest and a few days of TLC. So drink a cup of relaxing tea, take a calming lavender bath, and set your phone to “do not disturb.”ILLUSTRATION BY BARBARIANFLOWER
