Your Horoscope for the Week Ahead

Your weekly horoscope is here. In the run-up to another Mercury retrograde, we’re deep in the pre-retro-shade segment called the setup. This setup scenario will revisit during the retrograde, then stand for correction during the final pass. That could be in your communications or the thing that ‘once you see it, you can’t unsee it.’ Consciousness-raising through reflection and sharing our stories is vital for empowerment because we’re united when we stand together. And maybe that’s what this retrograde is about. Chiron is the planet known as the wounded healer, currently in Aries and bringing up all manner of wounding around independence, assertiveness, and brilliant leading ladies. As it heads into its annual retrograde on Friday, this is a chance to review where you could take your foot off the brake, throw out the outdated playbook, and lead the charge. It’s Leo season: be bold, be determined, and most of all, be proud of what makes you, you!

Read on to discover your weekly horoscope and what’s in store for your sign during the week of July 28 through August 3, 2024.

Aries

For the love of Aphrodite, it’s Leo season and your sphere of self-expression and romantic grand gestures is lit. Make the call, go on the date, say hi to that cute person you just locked eyes with. It’s summer, but you don’t have to sweat it; just remember—nothing ventured, nothing gained. Spark joy in all of your favorite ways. Mercury is the planet of communications, currently in pre-retro-shade in your sphere of routines, wellness, and work. It will backtrack into your zone of self-expression, so you may need to revisit the source of your creativity and inspiration. Note your feelings and experiences around that at this time, as it will come up over the retrograde. Could your health do with a streamlined regime? Is it time to shift an aspect of your work environment, how you communicate, or how you approach it? Take notes, and add the fix after late August.

Taurus

As Mercury jaunts through your sphere of love and leisure, note any indications that you need a vibe change. Since Mercury will retrograde in this area from next week, it’s best to flag it now so you don’t dismiss any telltale signs in the run-up. It may be related to analysis, pursuing optimal health as your idea of a good time, or the way you’ve been conducting your romantic life or communications in general. Mars is the planet of energy and action, currently making an assertive stride through your zone of finance and income. You might split your time and interests between two options or streams of income, or have energy to burn so you can pitch, apply, and follow new leads. There are so many apps and platforms to connect you with all varieties of work and customers; explore them if you’re curious to see some options. Or, create your own!
