The week 10–16 August It certainly cannot be described as uneventful. We have a solar eclipse in Leo, Mars changing signs, and a sequence of aspects which, within a few days, could bring anything from revelations and heated discussions to sudden encounters, opportunities, good news and new beginnings.
Some days call for a bit more care, whilst others are really worth making the most of. And because there’s so much going on this week, let’s take a look at it all in turn.
10 August — Mercury square Chiron
Concept of the day: Words that strike a nerve
A conversation can give us pause for thought, hurt us, or make us realise something we’ve been avoiding until now. However, it isn’t necessarily a «bad» day: through what is said, we can recognise what is really bothering us and start to work on it.
10 August — Venus in a trine with Pluto
Concept of the day: Strong attraction and deeper desires
Relationships take on greater depth and desires become stronger. There may be a new encounter characterised by intense chemistry, a deeper emotional connection, or even a significant development on a financial level.
11 August — Venus in opposition to Neptune
Thought for the day: Don’t fall in love only with what you want to see
Romanticism, emotion and imagination abound, but with them comes a tendency to idealise people and situations. Enjoy the emotion, but leave the really important decisions until you have a clearer picture.
11 August — Mars enters Cancer
Theme of the period: Taking action where we feel we need to protect something
The pace of life changes and we focus our energy more on the things we consider personally important. We may become more protective and assertive, but also more irritable when we feel that someone is overstepping our boundaries.
12 August — Mercury in opposition to Pluto
Concept of the day: Be mindful of mind games
Conversations can become heated, revealing or even manipulative. Secrets may come to light, and certain exchanges can completely change the way we perceive a person or a situation. Avoid becoming obsessed with proving that you are right.
12 August — Mercury in a trine with Neptune
Thought for the day: Listen to your intuition too
Amidst the tension, there is also a very different quality: inspiration, intuition and the ability to perceive things that are not easily expressed in words. Creative ideas and meaningful discussions can help us see a situation from a different perspective.
12 August — Venus in a trine with Uranus
Thought for the day: The unexpected can be a real delight
Unexpected encounters, invitations, opportunities and changes in our personal lives can significantly lift our spirits. It’s an aspect that favours the unexpected and the spontaneous, and may bring about something we hadn’t planned but which we end up really enjoying.
12 August — Mars sextile Chiron
Concept of the day: Action is the cure
If something has hurt us, we can now do something about it rather than simply analysing it. A conversation, an initiative, a new connection or even someone’s support can help us overcome a situation that was holding us back.
12 August — Solar Eclipse in Leo
Concept of the day: Redefinition, comebacks and regaining hope
This is the most significant moment of the week. The eclipse may bring back people, ideas or situations from the past, though this is not its sole significance. It may also signal a fundamental re-evaluation: to remember what we wanted, to believe again in something we had given up on, or to decide that an old idea is finally worth bringing to life.
12 August — Mercury sextile Uranus
Thought for the day: An idea can turn the tables
News, unexpected suggestions and sudden solutions can turn up where we least expect them. It’s an excellent time to think differently and remain open to an opportunity that goes beyond our original plan.
13 August — Mercury sextile Venus
Thought for the day: Say what you feel
Conversations become more enjoyable and it is easier to find common ground with others. This is a favourable time for making new acquaintances, reaching agreements, socialising, flirting and having conversations that we hope will have a positive outcome.
15 August — Mercury conjunct Jupiter
Thought for the day: One of the best days for good news and opportunities
Knowledge, travel, experiences, new acquaintances, suggestions and news can open up new horizons. It’s a day worth making the most of – to reach out, have an important conversation or say «yes» to something that could help you grow.

Let’s take a look at the predictions for each star sign below.
Aries
This week will keep you on your toes and encourage you to take the initiative in both your personal and professional life. There may be some tension, increased demands or situations that force you to react quickly, but at the same time, opportunities are opening up for creativity, new acquaintances, good news and important discussions. Something you had left behind may resurface, not necessarily to be repeated exactly as it was, but so that you can see it in a different light and decide whether it is worth giving it a new form. Particularly favoured are plans that fill you with enthusiasm, connections with people who broaden your horizons, and decisions that help you regain greater faith in yourself and in the future.
Taurus
The week may initially present you with a conversation, a piece of information or a behaviour that touches on a sensitive issue for you, but what follows is clearly more supportive. You have the opportunity to rectify a situation, make decisions that empower you and find practical solutions where you previously felt stuck. Professionally, a discussion that took place some time ago may be reopened, or a plan that until now has existed mainly as an idea may begin to take shape. In your personal life, you need to avoid power games and maintain clear boundaries, without, however, closing yourself off to the wonderful opportunities that may arise through new or existing relationships.
Gemini
A particularly busy week is about to begin for you, with social interactions, discussions, travel and new acquaintances that could open up new prospects for you. Towards the second half of the week, a sudden proposal may arise, some good news or a new acquaintance that significantly lifts your spirits and makes you see a plan you’d had in mind in a different light. Professionally, it’s worth sharing your ideas, seizing opportunities and making the most of people who can act as a bridge to something better. On a personal level, this week favours flirting and socialising, as well as restoring hope in areas where you may have recently begun to have doubts.
Cancer
The pace is picking up noticeably, and you may feel that you no longer have the luxury of waiting for others to make the first move. You’ll need to be more assertive, protect what you consider important, and channel any tension creatively – otherwise it could easily turn into frustration. Professionally, there may be new opportunities, or a project may begin to take shape that requires more courage on your part to move forward. In your personal life, a frank conversation could prove particularly therapeutic, whilst it’s not out of the question that a relationship, a new acquaintance or even an old desire might regain significance and remind you of what you truly want.
Leo
This is one of the most important weeks of August for you, as you are on the cusp of a significant re-evaluation of your path. Something from the past may resurface, but it is equally likely that you will feel you are regaining faith in a plan, a goal or even in yourself. There are plenty of opportunities for personal growth, new acquaintances, good news, travel or important professional discussions, so it’s worth keeping an open mind to whatever comes your way. At the same time, some conversations may be heated or involve power games, so you mustn’t let anyone drag you into pointless conflicts. Most importantly, this week may remind you of what you really want to create from now on.
Virgo
This week will spur you on both socially and professionally, and encourage you not to rely solely on your own strengths. Contacts, friends, colleagues or people who share similar goals may prove particularly useful and help you move forward with a plan that you were struggling to develop on your own. At the same time, something that had been left on the back burner may start to take on greater significance, whilst it’s not out of the question that an old idea might resurface or that you might feel you’re regaining hope for something you’d temporarily given up on. On a personal level, you need people with whom you can have meaningful conversations, but also more time to clarify what you really want before taking the next step.

Libra
This week calls on you to strike a balance between your personal needs and the commitments you’ve made to others. Professionally, you may need to cope with increased pressure or make decisions that will determine the course of an important project. At the same time, however, the circumstances favour new collaborations, lovely encounters and pleasant developments through people who can support you. A goal that until recently seemed a distant prospect may begin to take on a clearer shape, whilst it is not out of the question that you might regain your optimism regarding a matter you had almost given up on.
Scorpio
This week brings important realisations and helps you see more clearly which situations are truly worth your energy. There may be challenging discussions or revelations that will initially give you pause for thought, but which will ultimately prove liberating. Professionally, you have the opportunity to move forward with a project that has been delayed until now or to breathe new life into an older idea. On a personal level, you need to leave behind anything based on control and make room for people who offer you genuine security and honesty.
Sagittarius
A particularly optimistic week lies ahead for you, with opportunities that can help you broaden your horizons and move forward with new plans. Good news, important discussions, travel, studies or new acquaintances could play a decisive role in developments over the coming weeks. At the same time, you’ll have the chance to redefine your goals and remember what truly inspires you. On a personal level, you’ll feel more outgoing, and it’s quite possible that a new acquaintance or a rekindled relationship will bring you some lovely moments.
Capricorn
Relationships and collaborations are the focus of your attention, as you are called upon to strike a new balance with people who directly influence your daily life. Professionally, you may need to take the initiative or stand up for your views, without, however, getting drawn into pointless conflicts. At the same time, a new phase is beginning that will help you redefine your long-term goals and view the future with greater optimism. In your personal life, honesty and meaningful dialogue will prove to be your best allies.
Aquarius
This week may bring dramatic developments in your relationships, as well as significant opportunities that you mustn’t let slip by. Some conversations may become more heated or reveal things you were previously unaware of, but at the same time, new avenues are opening up through new acquaintances, collaborations and proposals that can bring positive changes to your daily life. It is a period of reassessment, during which you may reconsider what you expect from the people around you and rediscover your faith in a relationship or a shared goal that is worth pursuing.
Pisces
This week helps you to make more room for your personal needs, as well as for the dreams you may have put aside because of the demands of everyday life. Professionally, a project that has been progressing slowly up to now may start to take off, whilst a new piece of information or an important acquaintance could positively change the course of your career. On a personal level, you’re likely to feel that you’re regaining your optimism or that you’re seeing a relationship or situation that has been on your mind for some time in a different light. This is a time that encourages you to have more confidence in yourself and to move towards what truly expresses who you are.
