The Virgo season has started up and the first week of school chaos has begun to calm down. This week is bringing new things to the table for everyone, and remembering to keep a cool head will be the key to success.
The Red & Black has compiled horoscopes for each zodiac sign for the week of Aug. 26 through Sep. 2.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Communication is key for the ram this week. Occasionally hot-headed, you ought to take a step back when things feel especially rampant. Express yourself clearly, not aggressively. Let your conversation-dominating tendencies take a back seat while you work through your personal, emotional and relational experiences.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Harmony is your best friend. Often stuck in your ways, take your stubbornness and balance your scales. Are any of your cups empty, emotionally, physically, mentally or relationally? Zoom out for a moment, assess where you’re at, then use your bull-headed nature to equalize your personal assets.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Your free spirit and aptness to rise to a challenge bring you down a path of prosperity this week. You might encounter new opportunities, ones that your ‘yes, and’ brain yearns to chase after. Follow your nose! While sometimes scatterbrained, your mind works in unique ways. Use this creativity to conjure out-of-the-box methods towards your success.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
While water signs can be misinterpreted as docile, for Cancers this week is about expressing your passion. Look inward and reflect on what really gets you up every morning. Is it family? Is it friendship? Is it career-related? It could look different for everyone, but tapping into your driving force might be what you need to flourish this week (and in the following weeks).
Leo
July 23 – Aug. 22
Burning the brightest of the fire signs, idealism is a key theme for Leos this week. You have numerous dreams and ambitions, but you often get ahead of yourself in your pursuits. Focus on the now — what can you do in this moment? What projects or to-do items have you already started? Pick what you can and want to tackle, and do it. Don’t stress yourself out with too many goals!
Virgo
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
The sun brings the aspects of the ego and the self to the forefront this week. Think about how you view yourself; what do you appreciate? Is there a way to amplify these qualities or behaviors? Move through the week in efforts to magnify your best qualities and truly work on your less-than-amicable ones.
Libra
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Practicality is your bread and butter, even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes. Libras, represented by the weighing scales, are masters of telling when their balance is off. Use this sense of yours to reallocate your resources — your time, energy and attention — to what you know is most important this week. Move with your on-point sense of direction and optimize your functionality.
Scorpio
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
Much like the ocean, emotions come in waves. This week, try not to let the rip currents sweep you away. Your emotions might be heightened, and in turn your reactivity could become unspeakably high. Before doing anything reckless or rash — whether that be positive or negative — weigh your decision carefully before diving into anything.
Sagittarius
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Stability and groundedness are themes for Sagittarius this week. You’re no stranger to enthusiasm in your endeavors. However, you might find yourself dragging your feet in efforts that don’t pique your interest. Try to push through anyway; these ‘boring’ tasks might open doors for you down the road. What looks to you like busy-work is preparing you for greater things.
Capricorn
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Capricorns are driven to their core, but sometimes they might lean towards the ‘all-work-no-play’ archetype. This week, spend some time with yourself — find a new hobby, try a new recipe or start a new television series. Give yourself some time to breathe and let your individuality shine through. Think hard about who you are, about what makes you you.
Aquarius
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Ever the realist, your judgements and intuition are nearly always on point. As an Aquarius, you’re familiar with the phrase, “You were right.” As ego-stroking as this may feel, don’t let your confidence over-inflate. Use that confidence to carry and guide you to the right decisions this week, and don’t patronize others for not catching on as quickly as you often do.
Pisces
Feb. 19 – March 20
Despite being a water sign, your head is often in the clouds. A dreamer through and through, you often curse the limitations that come across your path. Don’t let this keep you from dreaming big, but reroute to dream a bit more real. Start to make your imagination and ambitions a reality this week. Try to reframe your perspective and see your limitations as directions or rerouters, not as roadblocks.
