Weekly Horoscopes August 26th 2024 – Mercury Direct! Venus calms love

ARIES

Take that journey to yourself

Illuminate your core

Want love? Love thyself, first!

Self-knowledge – the ‘Know Thyself’ inscribed at the entrance to the Oracle of Delphi, is just about the most life-changing quest we can embark on. Once we know who we are, we understand what we need. And then getting it not only gets easier, but we no longer waste time in pursuit of what doesn’t work.

Take yourself on a journey this week. One where self-examination and illuminating those hidden or unacknowledged parts of your soul is your goal. Those old 70’s lyrics ‘I’ve never been to me’ – here’s your ticket. An invitation to explore or channel what can only be described as oracle-like wisdom occurs on the 28^th when Venus in your 6^th opposes Neptune in your 12^th. You may have been questioning or seeking answers since the start of the Mercury retrograde. This day could finally deliver the insights you’ve needed. And yes, they reveal a core truth about yourself. And what you really need as opposed to what you believe you want.

With Mercury direct again in your 5^th and Venus entering your 7^th (29^th) and trine Pluto, this transforms your ability to attract and get you what you want. Quite possibly around what you love or value, Aries. Do check your chart for any factors at 27 degrees. And also keep in mind that with Mercury yet to clear retroshadow this is no week for speculation. Nor is it one where you continue to invest in something that is not a true reflection of your soul.

There are signs and portents – or maybe just sudden revelations around this as Uranus stations retrograde in your 2^nd. At the key 27^o. You may surprise yourself with reversing your opinion or course on something. Or your realisation coincides with it events outside of your control changing it anyway. The other scenario is you ask for a different deal that what has defined anything from your income to a relationship before this. Welcome to the real you, Aries.

In a nutshell: The better you know yourself, the more you are likely to attract what is exactly right for you. So, ahead of Venus’s move into your 7^th, take that deep dive. Those insights you gain in the process align everything to the real you.

TAURUS

What is truly, madly, deeply authentic?

Shake up what’s stale

You can’t trap lightning in a bottle!

Time to check your chart as to where your Taurus factors are. Not just your shining Taurus Sun, but anything else. Including planets, the Nodes, ascendant/descendant, IC/MC, eclipse points and asteroids. The Uranus station in your sign on Sep 1 is a very big deal. Why? This is the final Uranus retrograde before it begins to exit your sign next year. Yes, it will pay you one more visit before leaving your sign for another 84 years. And when it does, it will station direct at the exact degree it turns retrograde now (27^o). Please do check your chart for factors at this key degree.

Yes, this brings you a powerful awakening. And as a result, a massive need to shake up the stale and status quo in your life. But you need to balance your desire for anything new with not throwing the baby out with the bathwater. This week you may be impatient in a way that is out of character. Or at least – that is how others may see it. It may have been building within you for some time however. But you need to understand that as you are so good at simply stoically keeping going, others may not have realised this. So, do explain before acting, Taurus. Keeping those real feels bottled up does you no good. Nor others either. What you are seeking may simply be more support or even acknowledgement rather than radical, breakaway freedom.

Take it you are after what is truly, madly deeply important to you. Do take time to look past the obvious when it comes to why you want something or the action you believe you should take. Is there a deeper, more important motivation behind all this? It honestly is worth going deeper as if you do, you can liberate yourself by going directly to your need. Rather than the symptoms not answering it is creating. Ruler Venus allows for this on the 28^th when it opposes Neptune. Plus its arrival in your 6^th shortly afterwards (29^th), has you following up with grace, forethought and mindfulness when it comes to the best decision when it trines Pluto.

Both the Ceres in your 9^th (27^th), and Mercury in your 4^th, retrogrades end this week. Now you are truly focussed on getting that balance between what you need to maintain and your own needs. As usual, there is the Taurus yearning for stability and longevity driving this. And as such – avoid quick fixes, knee jerk responses and also financial speculation this week. You are the sign associated with slow and steady. This means progressed and well thought out change, Taurus. And the willingness to understand that we cannot bolt the new onto the old. But at the same time – you can’t keep lightning in a bottle. Something has to give. So – pull out all the stops. And you’ll give to gain so much more of what you need now.

In a nutshell: This week’s Uranus retro in your sign crackles with an electric charge that changes up what’s flatlined in your life. Time to reanimate that zest, that passion and escape the mundane. But chances are – you’ve merely been waiting for the moment to make your move.

GEMINI

Don’t, don’t break the spell
It would be different and you know it will
You, you make loving fun

Christine McVie. You Make Loving Fun

Ruler Mercury direct in its ruling 3^rd has a couple more weeks to go before it flies free of retro-shade in your 4^th. So, proceed but keep to the retro speed limit.

You are however keen to put plans in motion and go after what you want. In order for this to happen, something may take on a life of its own and suddenly end or change. This may shock or surprise you as Ceres heads direct in your 8^th and Uranus stations retrograde in your 12^th. This may be something you didn’t see coming. But no matter what, do keep in mind you have Jupiter in your sign. The glorious, great, generous patron and protector of the zodiac. No, Jupiter doesn’t make us immune to crazy, left-field challenges that can blindside us. But it can and will hand us the optimism, solutions and opportunities to counter them. And also allow us to see when they do occur, that actually we were freed from something which was confining us.

You may hit a speed bump – but then be unstoppably on to the next big thing. Determined and with bigged-up confidence. You also won’t look back if you have to leave something behind you. You will be focussed on what lies ahead. Especially as two of your main houses of attraction are active now!

These are your own sign and also Libra and your 5^th. With Venus’s arrival (29^th), and its trine to Pluto in your 9^th, luck is on your side. To the point others may think you have acquired a magic manifestor’s manual that simply allows you to effortless attract what you want! And yes, as the planets begin their move into your 5^th and make the same trine to Pluto, some things may well just happen or cross your path with little or no effort required from you other than just putting the desire out there! However, as lucky and magnetic as you may appear to outsiders, it goes without saying you have done your part. Chances are you seized the energy of the Mars/Jupiter conjunction earlier this month – and have been working with that ever since. The results will continue to manifest from now until the end of October.

Sweet, wonderful you is the recipient of dazzling synchronicities, charmed solutions and feeling the free flow shape a mindset that is open to exploration. And this is what generates the circumstances where new people or what you’ve wished for appears. This is also one of the best cycles of the year for creative ventures and now travel. Look forward. And make what you do look like effortless play.

Are you honouring your wonderful truth? Many Geminis have planets in Taurus so do check for any at 27 degrees as September begins. Next year sees maverick Uranus land in your sign for the first time in 84 years. The 1^st sees it station retrograde at 27 Taurus – its final retroactive phase before its arrival. What occurs now around you following your authentic soul will prove to be important next year. And I’ll tell you why. Uranus will enter Gemini and then retrograde back into Taurus one more time in ‘25. When it does, it will station direct at – 27 degrees of Taurus. This make this final Uranus retrograde highly significant for you when it comes to your beliefs. And those of others that you have taken on board when it comes to who you think you are and what you can do. Time to get out of your own way, Gemini. Stop the self-censure. As Pearl Bailey the singer, actress, activist and UN advisor said: The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat one’s self. Don’t deny what makes you unique. Find your wonder instead.

In a nutshell: Waiting for someone outside of yourself to bring the wonder into your life? Turn that want on its head, Gemini. Truth is, what you want resides within. Or is your starting point for attraction. So, release the real you. The rest – easy magic.

CANCER

What’s the new deal on love?

Move ahead with caution

Practice non-attachment in all areas

What’s that new deal on love, respect and self-worth you’ve crafted, Cancer? Ready to work it? Ceres direct in your 7^th (27^th) and the Venus/Neptune opposition (28^th), has you able to convey your upgraded expectations. Yes, you’ve not let go of your ability to give a little (or a lot) in return. But this has to be mutual and equal. It’s a massive portal of potential where hearts, minds and exploration are on offer.

As Mercury heads direct in your 2^nd (28^th) and Venus moves into your all-important 4^th and trines Pluto, you’re willing to craft the win/win that always comes naturally to you. But you’re now unwilling to continue with anything that is unfairly skewed or leaves you feeling as if you’re being asked to give too much.

Communication, studies, projects, plans and your on-line life will begin to move forward this week. But do continue to watch for problems around your devices, cyber security, scams or anyone who appears dodgy who drifts into your DM’s. It’s not just the Mercury retroshadow which could still serve a snafu or two. But Uranus station retrograde in your 11^th (1^st).

September may take a surprising turn. Don’t get too attached to plans. Also – refrain from getting too attached to a particular goal. Or thinking there is just one way to attain it. During this time you may be presented with enticingly different options. Or maybe even something better than you imagined. Friendships may go through sudden, startling changes. While electrifying new people or groups offer you mind broadening and future defining encounters. There’s no one way. Just like there’s no your way or the highway in relationships, Cancer. Get ready for alternatives as you head into September.

In a nutshell: If you truly knew everything that was going to happen – life would hold no more surprises. Just think about that for a moment, Cancer. A portal opens to something bigger this week. And the only way to know what it holds for you is to find out for yourself!

LEO

Revolution begins with the self,

in the self.

Toni Cade Bambara. Author and Director

The Theatre of Black Experience

Holy stop signs, Leo! Just as you think the retrograde blues are behind you (Mercury direct in your sign from the 28^th), then Uranus throws a spanner in the works. It stations retrograde in your house of career, status and long term decisions on the 1^st. Bringing pause for thought as you reassess a choice you’ve made in the past.

This is the final retrograde Uranus will make before entering Gemini and your 11^th in 2025. It will prove to be one of the most impactful for you. The reason being Uranus stations at 27 Taurus. When Uranus retrogrades next it does so from Gemini, moves back into Taurus and then stations direct at 27 degrees. Do check your chart for any signatures at 27 degrees. Especially in Taurus or your own sign.

DO take your time responding or coming up with future plans if Uranus serves you something unexpected. Or if you are shocked into awareness that something no longer works for you. Venus in your 3^rd (29^th), trine Pluto in your 7^th will infuse you with creativity and much needed ideas. And also hand you the diplomatic touch if negotiations around anything prove necessary.

This could see your path diverting radically from the one you have been on. What you once wanted may no longer hold meaning. Or you are presented with an unexpected but key decision that sees your future pivot. And this may be no bad thing but makes you feel totally and utterly alive at the prospect. And if that’s your reaction, that’s a sign you most definitely need to go explore it.

Opportunity with Uranus about may not look like you thought it should. Or you may have a reaction to it that makes you want to run away in the opposite direction. Hence the reason for a stop. Has the familiar got you the result you’ve wanted? If the answer is no – maybe it is time to go for the strange, the unexplored and the radically different. What you’ve avoided or would normally reject could be the arrival of bliss in disguise. Revolutionise your ideas around what’s right for you.

In a nutshell: A week where you may not simply lean in – but pivot when it comes to a direction you take. This may vary radically from the one you’ve chosen in the past. Yes, you’ll think things through. But your choice – radical, exciting, awakening – is right for right now.

VIRGO

Welcome to wild new beginnings

What appears answers that unspoken wish

Intention + Attraction = Results

Baby, you’re a wild one this week. But if you can’t let loose during your birthday cycle – when can you? Ruler Mercury is direct once more in your 12^th (28^th) – and heading back your way. While Venus in your 1^st until the 29^th, opposes Neptune in your 7^th. Think of the card of The Chariot in the Tarot. Of the two horses or sphinxes which pull that wild ride, one is Intention and the other is named Attraction. Along with Jupiter in your 10^th – this pretty well makes you unstoppable from this point onwards.

What was delayed or postponed during Mercury’s retrograde could be very much back on your agenda. Especially if you are waiting on anything that is income related or to do with your work. Venus moves into its ruling sign and ruling house in your chart (29^th). And then trines Pluto in your 6^th. This could see offers and answers arrive you’ve been waiting on. Business takes an upswing. Energetically you’re seeking something to get your teeth into. A new project or job could be just the outlet you need. Certainly, if you want to change jobs or are seeking work, now it your time to begin to send that CV winging its way out there.

Venus opens a portal to enhanced self-worth in your 2^nd. Along with Ceres direct now in your 5^th, you’re going to be even more choosy where and on whom you bestow your precious attention, time and talents. No, you are not being picky and your standards are not set to unrealistically high. You are still willing to give with your signature devotion. But only to those who truly deserve your special kind of constant love.

This discernment is an important element to cultivate as you are in your main cycle of attraction for the year. The quickening you’re tapping into with Mercury direct can also accelerate your ability to draw what you want to you. But just because it manifests – you don’t need to say yes to it unless it is perfectly right for you.

Being a mutable sign you are known for your ability to adapt and pivot. After all, you’re used to have a back up plan in place thanks to Mercury retrogrades. But an even wilder ride is on offer with the Uranus retrograde in your 9^th. This is your house of mass media and communications as well as travel and transportation. Uranus retrogrades at 27 Taurus. Check your own chart for anything at this key degree.

This can in some cases upend travel plans or even a worldview. Up can become down. Your ideas can be shaken. It can also turn into the wildest and most exciting ride of your life. Revolutionise your path and jolt you out of the mundane. This is no small event. If something occurs – in your 9^th – it’s big. I talked about the card of The Chariot earlier. Uranus retrograde in the 9^th sees yours pulled by horses of a different colour. They may pull you in a direction you did not anticipate, Virgo. But this could be in answer to an unspoken call or desire you’ve been sending out. You don’t need to know the destination to enjoy the ride.

In a nutshell: If something unexpected occurs this week, it could be in answer to that unspoken desire you’ve been putting out there, Virgo. Follow the wild, untamed path if so. And let go of control or order. Sometimes its only when things get messy they turn out perfect!

LIBRA

Get an early start on a new beginning

Take the off-ramp to a better lifestyle

Stand by the promises you made to yourself

Happy early birthday, Libra. Ruler Venus arrives in your sign this week (29^th). And as it arrives it trines Pluto in your 5^th. Just prior to it landing, it opposes Neptune from your 12^th. You may have been keeping something to yourself and not talking about it or wanting to share. Now you move it out of the soul closet as along with Mercury direct in your 11^th (28^th), you’re happy to not just talk, about but initiate those plans.

A cycle around home and family may also be coming to a close. Pluto will be finalising this for you shortly when it returns for a final homestay in your 4^th. But this week also sees the mother-in-law of all dwarf planets Ceres direct in your 4^th. This may usher in a move or a new living arrangement. And if anything has been getting you down around home or a family member, look forward to finding a workable solution. And one which dispels any gloom.

Deep seated desires, promises you have made to yourself and unlooked for changes will also colour the lead up to the start of your birthday cycle. The very start of September sees Uranus station at 27 Taurus and your 8^th. This Uranus retrograde is the final one to have its totality in this house. In 2025 it will enter Gemini and your 9^th. And when it retrogrades in there, it will return to this 27 degree point and go direct again. For any sign out there with aspects at 27 degrees this will bring about a transformation and an area of life electrified like Las Vegas. So, when you think about the Vegas strip – you can’t miss it. Take it you can’t miss this either.

Anything that occurs this week is designed to direct you towards those bright lights. You may take that off-ramp as you see them sparkling in the distance. Beneficial change charges up your life. And redirects your course towards where life and love is to be found. Promises you have made to yourself that are too important to put off any longer, need to be honoured. If something ends – it may turn out to be a lucky break. Time to ante up, Libra. And see yourself as holding a winning hand.

In a nutshell: Place, path and purpose are impacted by both Ceres direct in your 4^th and this week’s Uranus station. You’re being diverted in a fresh direction. But the arrival of ruler Venus in your sign means you’re entering your yearly attraction peak a month early. Get with the magic, Libra!

SCORPIO

Embrace self-acceptance

Evolve to meet your future

Love different

If Uranus in your 7^th has taught you anything it could be that sometimes love don’t look like it should to preface Mellencamp. Or is as you imagined it would be. To keep with the rock metaphors – if you have thought you’d do anything for love but not that – well, that is what you do now. Uranus can also bring about strange and undefined relationships. Where everything is right on paper and there may even be chemistry – but nothing happens despite this. Or we experience out and out rejection. Established unions can end without warning. And conversely – love at first sight can happen. Where and when we least expected.

As Uranus is in your house of partnerships of all descriptions, be open to what it delivers. And do ditch that ‘type’ if you’ve gone for the same in the past. And you along with Taurus, do need to look for any chart factors at 27 degrees. Especially in your own sign or that of Taurus. Include asteroids, eclipse points, the Nodes, IC/MC and ascendant/descendant. This is one final love evolution stage for you which is going to be over in 2025. And by the end of this, you will never look at love the same way again.

This may be a very good thing. Appreciating the love you have from a new perspective. Or understanding its time to seek love from a new perspective. Venus in your 12^th not only enhances your intuitive and creative skills, but opens up a gentle pathway to self-understanding when it comes to the choices you’ve made in the past. Allowing you to view those choices with love and compassion rather than judgement. It’s trine to ruler Pluto puts something finally in perspective especially around how the past or your upbringing may have influenced you. Seeing it for what it is is an essential part of freeing yourself. Or even reclaiming something that should never have been lost in the first place.

Just prior to this the Venus//Neptune opposition across your 5th/11th houses reminds you of the importance of the love of friends and pursuing what you love to do. This isn’t some silver medal love that you have to default to if things aren’t that great in your personal life. In fact, thanks to Uranus you may now see that it is from this that all other loves take their form. The future of love is wide open now. Evolve into it.

In a nutshell: As Uranus enters its endgame in your partnership zone, you’ll never see love quite the same way again. The same goes for what you love to do, pursue or even where love is. I could say Long Live Love, Scorpio. Love your way that is.

SAGITTARIUS

Let go of the goal – find the passion in the process

Innovate that day job or routine

Revolutionise how you work it!

This week Venus kick-starts your yearly social and goal-getting season a month early as it moves into your 11^th on the 29^th. This happily coincides with Mercury direct again in your 9^th (from the 28^th). Normally we would say this Venus is only about the love of friends and the love that powers your desire for something you want to attain rather than romance. But this year is different due to ruler Jupiter in your 7^th. What’s the secret to attracting a partner? Simply to circulate and pursue what you love, Sag. And if you do without worrying too much about the who – they will show up at some point.

Do keep in mind Mercury remains retro-shady until Sep 12 when it is free and clear. So, proceed with caution if travelling. This week also sees a major reset occur around your work, routine and attitude towards your health and wellbeing. Uranus stations retrograde at 27 Taurus and your 6^th house of what you do everyday. This house also rules bosses, employees, co-workers, that mind/body/spirit union, your diet, exercise, daily duties and your pets if you have them. Expect to turn something on its head. Anything from that day job or studies, to how you prioritise or approach that routine. In other words – innovate.

Next year Uranus enters Gemini and your 7^th. When it does it will return to Taurus and 27 degrees before exiting this house for good. By then you should have experienced a complete and total reset around what you do – and how you take care of it. Others could already see the shape of things to come around career, ambition or even lifestyle as Venus opposes Neptune in your 4^th (28^th). Imagination and innovation create your niche.

In a nutshell: You are a sign whose philosophy is: The journey is the goal. Do stick to that rather than get too fixated on the destination. The results will astound you. And see you end up right where you are supposed to be, Sag.

CAPRICORN

Love in balance and mutuality

Make sure you are understood

Here comes the change you’ve been waiting for

Ceres direct in your sign ushers in a better and more mutual option around partnerships, resources or even your career. Of course, do check the details and also ensure that both parties are clear about the T&C’s. If needed, go through it point-by-point one more time. But chances are you and someone else has a deal to be struck this week.

Venus in your 9^th opposes Neptune in your 3^rd (28^th) – hence the need to check those deets. This is also the day when Mercury heads direct once again in your 8^th of shared resources and negotiations. Yes, it still has to clear retroshade so that’s another reason why you can’t repeat yourself too many times. But all this points to a move forward and an agreement for you.

Yes, this can be a personal matter. And also impact your status (social, professional, financial, relationship). It should also see anything left hanging now bring you closure. And a release at the same time. Venus enters your 10^th (29^th) and trines Pluto in Venus’s ruling 2^nd pointing to financial wins or something that bolsters that self-worth.

You might also want to check your chart for factors at 27 degrees. If you have them in Capricorn then the Uranus station (1^st) will trine them. This is final Uranus retrograde to begin in your 5^th house of lovers, children and luck. Next year it enters Gemini and your 6^th. Then it will pay one final visit to your 5^th as it retrogrades for the first time in your 6^th. And stop again at the key 27^o. This is why this retrograde is so important. Something is cooking. It may go through a few evolutionary stages but it will revolutionise your life in some way. Love like no other? It can bring you that and also have someone seeing you the same way. Love is always the change we are waiting for. And in that true Shrek way – its true form will appear.

In a nutshell: Change is often the electric charge we need to feel completely and fully alive. So, don’t run from it but greet it like a welcome guest this week. There’s a deal to be done or new agreement reached between you and another. The change you’ve been waiting for.

AQUARIUS

Take the long and winding road

What’s worn out is replaced

Something’s gotta give!

Ruler Uranus makes its most dynamic and game-changing retrograde yet in your 4^th (1^st). All Aquarians should check their charts for anything at 27 degrees – any sign, any house and any kind of aspect. Because you of all signs knows – with Uranus, anything goes.

The 27^o is going to prove to be a trigger for a series of longer term events that are going to play out between now and February 2026. During this time, you may move, relocate or see big changes play out with family members, your lifestyle and even your career path. And possibly more than once. This is Uranus’s final retrograde while it is solely in Taurus. Next year it will enter Gemini and your 5^th house. Once there, its first retrograde will take it back into Taurus where it will station direct at – yes, you got it – 27 degrees. Which is what makes this one so important. You of all signs knows not to cling to the status quo. Something’s gotta give with Uranus and it may as well be you first. Just know when this is over in ‘26 – you will have ended up right where you have space to grow and evolve. Never mind the twists and turns on that path getting there!

What has been tying you to something lived or worn out, will be removed. And just because Uranus delivers shocks and surprises doesn’t necessarily mean they are unwelcome. Mercury heads direct this week in your 7^th while Venus enters your 9^th and trines Pluto in your 1^st. This points to a welcome release into something bigger for you. Be this a relationship or which simply gives you room to expand. So, as usual – don’t judge the book by its cover. Or you may be missing out on the most exciting chapter yet.

In a nutshell: Detours and dead ends. No more being misdirected into them for you, Aquarius. Whether this is around your life path, relationships or where you live. Ruler Uranus is intent on a final liberation from what traps you. Ahead – an open road.

PISCES

Love realities are your hot topic

Emotional truth is all the evidence you need

Don’t just dream it – claim it!

Awareness, insight, empowerment with a shot of big picture thinking when it comes to love occurs this week as Venus in its ruling 7^th opposes ruler Neptune. The next day, Venus moves into your 8^th and will trine Pluto in your 12^th. Are you ready to listen to that angel on your shoulder, Pisces? Are you ready to act in the name of self-aware love? We always have a choice. Of course we can choose to ignore our feelings or even the evidence. Of course we can opt for illusion or even self-delusion. Or we can choose to have an eyes and soul wide open love experience instead. Don’t you deserve the freedom the latter offers you?

Yes, of course, in some instances this may mean confronting an unpleasant truth you have been avoiding. Or you may have to own your own part in your past. But what awaits you on the other side of this is oh-so-different and loaded with truth, Pisces. The reality of love you’ve been seeking all along.

Dare to talk it, live it, claim it. And be unafraid to shake things up or have that ‘difficult’ conversation in order to get to that. This week has Mercury finally direct in its ruling 6^th and preparing to re-enter your 7^th. While Uranus retrograde in your 3^rd (1^st), sees you opting for a different communication strategy. You can also apply this to job seeking, work, your studies or on-line life. A different approach gets you a different result. That simple. And being open to seeing things differently is often what ignites that process. Let’s face it, Pisces – this week change and transformation are the hot topics for you. So be the one who broaches the subject and share what’s really on your mind.

In a nutshell: The key Venus/Neptune opposition this week opens your eyes to how you see love or a key relationship. And now you’re aware – there’s no going back. But all this hands you the ability to claim something real. So much more satisfying than anything you can dream up.
