Weekly Horoscope: August 10 – August 16, 2020

Two edgy aspects make this a week to navigate with care. On Monday, Mercury (planet of communication) squares off with Uranus (planet of surprises), which could find us jumping to conclusions, speaking out of turn, and upsetting others even if we don’t mean to.

The quarter moon in Taurus on Tuesday could also put us on the spot. We may need to reach a decision in order to tie up loose ends or bring a project to conclusion.

Perhaps the most intense and difficult aspect is the angle between Mars (planet of aggression) and Pluto (planet of power) on Thursday, which could see pent-up energy exploding. Still, with volcanic Pluto in reverse, there is a chance that some of this anger and frustration may be softened slightly by a more pensive mood.

Feisty Mars leaves behind its belligerent phase and becomes more cooperative over the weekend when it links harmoniously with brainy Mercury and the sun in Leo. We will have more energy, and this can lead to greater productivity.

Virgo  

The sun, Mercury, and Mars are all moving through some emotional parts of your chart, Virgo. That means you’ll be flushed with unexpected feelings and will have no choice but to act on them.

You might see some problems arise with friendships. Make sure you’re trying to do something about it, Libra.

Scorpio           

Mars and Pluto (Scorpio’s ruler) are connecting this week, which could see you getting some intense feelings. Don’t allow this to get the best of you, as the way you handle this could potentially compromise a relationship. If the intensity becomes too much, try to channel it by going for a run or starting an art project.
