Your horoscope for August 25 to 31, 2016

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Thursday puts the potential or the full-blown reality into play. As Mars and Neptune go viral, they could sneak up on you. To the plus, it’s the building of a dream. To the plus or the minus, it’s the big reveal. Book it off if you can manage it, ease up on the serious stuff. Through Monday, enjoy the best the city has to offer, conjure up something wonderful, play up the romance. On the cautionary note, know that you can be easily sold, swayed, or taken. Protect your information and health; know where your drugs or drink came from, and don’t drive under the influence, especially Thursday night.

      Venus/Jupiter in Virgo on Saturday and Mercury/Venus on Sunday gift us with a bonus weekend. If there’s a complaint, it is likely to fall in one of two statements: not enough or too much. Of course, it’s not really a complaint when it is a protest of riches. Venus/Jupiter in Virgo makes the most of it and gains more than the usual ground. Under this transit, you can more easily work it out and/or take it further. They are great for healing, mending, bargains, and bargaining. Sunday’s Venus/Mercury is opportune for speaking what’s on your mind or sharing your heart.

      Venus into Libra on Monday puts relationships, money, social trends, legal matters, and contract negotiations into action. It’s generally a favourable transit for all of the above, but note that a pendulum swing is possible once Mercury in Virgo begins retrograde on Tuesday.

      Aries
      March 20 - April 20

      Use it; don’t lose it. Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury dish up a great weekend backdrop. Choose pleasure, socializing, productivity, or bargain-shopping, it’s all good. As of Monday, Venus enhances your social life, and romantic and financial prospects. Watch for someone in particular to claim more of your attention. Mercury retrograde, starting Tuesday, puts you back to work—in more ways than you plan.

      Taurus
      April 20 - May 21

      Thursday could keep you guessing, but after the fact you’ll see that you actually made some progress. A change of scenery does you plenty of good this weekend. Friday through Sunday, soak up on the good stuff; spend extra time making up for lost time. Venus in Libra and Mercury retrograde put personal and relationship improvement at the top of the priority checklist.

      Gemini
      May 21 - June 21

      Family and home can be a hub of activity this weekend, especially so if you are hosting, visiting, or moving. Cleanup, repairs, and prep for back-to-it season can make for a marathon weekend. As of Monday, Venus enhances romance, social connections, creative output, and same-page accord, and benefits contract negotiations. Mercury retrograde, starting Tuesday, puts more on your plate.

      Cancer
      June 21 - July 22

      Emotions run the show, especially through Sunday. Soak up every minute of the time you share. Gift yourself; gift them. Saturday/Sunday, although it’s nice to hear, you don’t have to say it and neither do they. Intuition, instincts, and sensitivity run at full capacity. Good ideas do too. Venus advances on Monday; Mercury backtracks on Tuesday. Both aim for more and better.

      Leo
      July 22 - August 23

      Thursday, you may feel uncertain or at a loss, but as of Friday you’ll gain a better handle on it. It’s a great weekend to share with family and friends, for outdoor recreations, event-going, indulging yourself or another. Venus into Libra, starting Monday, increases harmony and cooperation, spending too. As of Tuesday, more due diligence and better budgeting are recommended.

      Virgo
      August 23 - September 23

      Mars on the move-along with Saturn and Neptune is pivotal for you. Both mark a time-is-ripe moment that is infused with wonderful potential. But that’s not all. You’ll gain a boost from the solar eclipse on September 1. Yes, Mercury retrograde can put you on a backtrack, but it’s simply doing a necessary cleanup first.

      Libra
      September 23 - October 23

      Past Thursday, you’ll gain a better feel of what to say, how to play it, or which to choose. Friday through Sunday, emotions can get the better of you, especially when another or memories pull on the heart. Venus into Libra, starting Monday, is great for an energy and attention boost. Mercury turns retrograde on Tuesday. Play it safe with health and information-sharing.

      Scorpio
      October 23 - November 22

      You’ll get more out of it if you ease up rather than force or push on Thursday. Friday, make it good for yourself; give in, indulge. Saturday/Sunday are great for heart-to-heart talks and pleasure-seeking. Let a special someone know just how much you care. Venus into Libra, starting Monday, enhances romance and creativity. Tuesday, revisit, improvise.

      Sagittarius
      November 22 - December 21

      Mars and Saturn have just completed a two-year manifesting cycle and now place you at the start of your next great adventure. The next two weeks can be uncertain yet shaping. Give yourself extra time to feel your way along and trust that time will give you a better sense of direction. Saturday through Monday, enjoy, indulge, love. Tuesday, take it moment to moment.

      Capricorn
      December 21 - January 20

      Thursday, you could get somewhere or nowhere. You’ll get a better response out of Friday’s stars. Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury make you a happy camper, no matter what you get up to for this full-to-the-brim weekend. There can be good news, an event or a milestone to celebrate. Tuesday, revisit it; make a change; trust your instinct.

      Aquarius
      January 20 - February 18

      You simply can’t get enough of the good stuff this weekend. Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter can start a conversation, a visit, or an idea track that seems to have no end. Conversely, they can also load you up with work, cleanup, or added expense. You can’t do it all. In fact, once Mercury turns retrograde, you might have to redo it.

      Pisces
      February 18 - March 20

      Thursday/Friday dissolves a barrier and begins a better cut to the chase. Saturday/Sunday, soak it in, soak it up, splurge on yourself or another. When it comes to good sharing and good times, you simply can’t get enough. Venus into Libra, starting Tuesday, benefits finances and relationships, but as of Tuesday, Mercury begins a backtrack.
