Weekly Horoscopes for the Week of August 5
Cash in your right to shine while this week’s sun swaggers through luxe Leo.

Overall, energy is on the upswing as the moon is in her waxing phase after last week’s new moon. Wrap up your week by boosting your confidence with positive affirmations. Read on to discover what’s in store for your sign during the week of August 5 through to August 11, 2019, and double down by getting to know your rising sign.
Aries | Aries rising
Your midweek is as hot as summer is sizzling. You’ll be feeling lit, expansive, loved up, and ready to receive universal gifts. Make the most of it by initiating creative action in the area of self-expression, romance, and fun. If you have a side hustle you love, this is a power week for you to focus. Travel is beneficial, but if it’s not in the cards this week, compensate by exposing your mind to new concepts and philosophies. Mercury struts into Leo, recommending a creative state of mind for you, Aries, starting on Sunday. Positive affirmations will get you everywhere all month, so don’t give in to nagging negativity.
Taurus | Taurus rising
Leo season fires up all things on the emotional front and at home. Throw open the curtains and let the sun’s positivity wash over you. Tuesday to Friday are cosmically blessed for you, so make the most of your connections and say yes to offers you know are good for you. This week makes it easier to let go of bad patterns and allows growth between you and your loved ones at a deeper level. Sunday wraps up with Mercury pouncing into Leo in your home sector—have that heartfelt talk you’ve been meaning to have or better yet, creatively express your feelings.
Gemini | Gemini rising
With six of the 11 planets we use in astrology all in fire signs, this week supports a sunshine state of mind for you, Gemini. Your social and communications sector are stimulated, so make the most of your local connections and your one-on-ones, and reach out to far-flung friends as well. Communications in your partnership or with your closest friends get the cosmic go-ahead from Sunday as Mercury leaps into Leo, adding even more fire to your social sector. The world needs your cool intellect and ability to share information, as there are no planets in air signs after Tuesday. Your friends or partner may call on your rational viewpoint if any situations become too heated or solutions can’t be found.
