WEEK OF August 8 – 1 4, 2022
Play it safe or take a gamble? Well, that depends, doesn’t it, Sag? “Caution” isn’t a word you use a lot whereas “risk” is almost second nature to you. And yet this Tuesday, August 9, you may feel positively stuck on the horns of a dilemma. With seductive Venus in emo Cancer and your obsessive eighth house, you’re in the middle of a monthlong passion play. And your proactive sign is used to going after (and generally getting) what you desire. But on Tuesday, the love planet gets speed-checked by controlling Pluto in Capricorn and your security zone. What was once a no-brainer suddenly has you stuck in mental flypaper. One minute you need to plant roots, the next, you’re freaking out about feeling “trapped” by routine. Venus-Pluto revs up your libido, and since you don’t have the best self-control on a good day, this is a time to steer very clear of temptation. (So no sexting the ex!) This opposition is happening across your money axis, meaning your finances are up for review. You might realize that what you need—more than an accountant—is a clearer, more focused personal business plan that encompasses retirement, however far in the future that actuality seems now. Of course, this could wind up being one of those super-rare moments where you throw up your hands and surrender to a higher intelligence (which could well be your own higher self!).
This Thursday marks the year’s only Aquarius full moon, which powers up your third house of self-expression, fraternizing and networking. Flap those social butterfly wings, Archer! If those wings have been folded in for a while, it’s time to take them out for a test flight. Has a certain collaboration reached a natural conclusion? Are you eager to expand your social horizons by meeting some intriguing new folks? This lunation can inspire you to go out and mingle more, especially locally, since the third house indicates neighborhood activity. You’re naturally bubbly, Sag, but thanks to this lunar lift, people will be almost magnetically attracted to you. What will make your life feel richer? Those are the kind of groups to connect with!
Certain connections might begin to expand without your even trying, Sag—once you set the intention. You’ll really be in your romantic element when amorous Venus races into passionate Leo and your exploratory ninth house from Thursday until September 5. (Not for nothing, this is the chart sector associated with your exuberant sign.) For the next three-plus weeks, there won’t be limits to the fun, adventure and stimulating travel you can get up to with friends or bae. What have you been fantasizing about: music festivals, a beachside cabin? Regardless of your relationship status, you’ll enjoy an almost boundless sense of freedom, but it’s up to you to enjoy it while you’ve got it!
