Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

Venus is clocking overtime this week, Water Bearer. The values-driven love planet is working the room, connecting with all three heavy-hitting outer planets in quick succession. On Monday, August 10, she aligns with magnetic Pluto in your sign, cheering you on from the sidelines for taking a risk for something that matters to you. Dropping your guard and getting a little vulnerable will deepen a connection right now. Venus is also opposing foggy Neptune in your third house of communication, so don't assume your words will land the way you mean them—even the carefully chosen ones. Save anything that matters for an in-person conversation instead of a text thread where tone and nuance disappear. On Tuesday, Venus links up with wild card Uranus in your fifth house of romance, and the message is clear: Say what you're thinking but don't unload it all at once. One sincere share will work better than a barrage of half-hearted ones. 

Later on Tuesday, driven Mars strides into Cancer and your sixth house of daily routines and wellness for the first time in two years, which could spark a health kick all by itself. Between now and September 27, you have motivation on tap, so don't overthink which workout or meal plan to pick. Mars says: Just do SOMETHING. The red planet thrives on challenges, so this isn't the week to default to the same old routine out of habit. If you're behind on a checkup or a dentist visit, book it now before the back-to-school rush. Blending conventional medicine with holistic modalities could serve you especially well right now. This house also covers work and service, and Mars here means your schedule could fill up fast over the next seven weeks. Hold out for the projects that excite you since you may get more offers than you could possibly accept before September 27. 

Wednesday’s skies feature the only Leo new moon of the year, which lands in your seventh house of partnership. But that’s not the whole story: This lunation is also a total solar eclipse that amps up your desire for deep connection. Single? People will notice you wherever you go, so be straight with anyone who doesn't have a shot. Good for your ego (perhaps), but bad for your karma. While the influence of this eclipse will stretch for six months, the next two weeks are peak manifesting time. If you’re looking for commitment, don’t settle, however strong the draw. Opposites will attract under this lunation, so stay open to someone very different from your usual “type.” For couples, since eclipses often illuminate hidden issues, don’t be surprised if whatever's been bugging you suddenly feels like a code-red urgency. Even if it’s a little awkward, it’s important to not let resentment fester. It might take a few sessions with a couple’s therapist, but you can’t put a price tag on clarity and resolution.
