Horoscope for August 18-24, 2024

Your horoscope for the week of August 18 to 24 begins with a bang, but the chaos doesn’t stop there. To be quite frank, you’re in the midst of some of the most difficult astrology of 2024, so go easy on yourself. If you’re not having that great of a time, you’re certainly not alone, News.Az reports citing foreign media.

As this week gets going, you may deal with feelings of loneliness or inadequacy as Venus in Virgo forms a harsh opposition to Saturn retrograde in Pisces . This could create distance in your relationships and leave little to be desired in terms of money or general satisfaction. Fortunately, this opposition will also point out what it is that you truly want, encouraging you to raise your standards and have patience, so you don’t lower yourself for the wrong thing.

The week really kicks off when a rare and powerful full blue supermoon rises at 2:26 p.m. ET on August 19 in fixed air sign Aquarius , bringing deep-seated revelations to a head. Because this full moon will oppose Mercury retrograde in Leo , there could be conflicts of the ego that lead to your pride feeling hurt. Ego-centric mindsets will be tested, forcing you to embrace a more giving and community-oriented outlook on life. This full moon will also square off with unpredictable Uranus, which could lead to erratic and unexpected curveballs being thrown your way. Be flexible with your plans, as they are bound to change.

On the same day, Jupiter in Gemini will square off with Saturn in Pisces, which will increase the tension and leave you feeling held back and inhibited by forces outside of your control. Details can clash with your imaginings, and desires will be deflated by the facts. You may feel a strong desire to grow, knowing that results will only be delayed.

Tensions will only continue to rise throughout the week, as romantic Venus will square off with combative Mars on August 22. This could cause longterm couples to quarrel, it may also lead to titillating enemies-to-lovers stories. The sexual chemistry could light a fire in a dark room, but it could also burn everything down if the flame is left unattended.
