1 - August

Ready or not, change is coming for every zodiac sign in your August 1 weekly horoscope.

On Aug. 1, Mars, Uranus, and the North Node are all linking up in your fifth house of pleasure and creativity, calling for you to assess how you prioritize fun in your life. As Mars forms a conjunction with Uranus and the North Node in your eighth house this week, you’ll be called to assess the boundaries you may need to implement in your relationships with others now. As the freedom-oriented sign of the zodiac, it’s important that you don’t limit yourself too much, so be sure to listen to what your body’s craving now; it can tell you a lot. While this is an area where you’re slower to embrace sudden change, the influence of the North Node is aligning you with long-term stability and security in this area now. As the acts of service sign of the zodiac, Mercury in Virgo allows you to effortlessly organize, plan, and problem-solve, making this week a pretty busy one for you. This week, you may find that the action you’re aiming to take in your career is being challenged by someone, whether it be a romantic or business partner. As Mars, Uranus, and the North Node conjoin in your 11th house of friends and alliances this week, you’ll notice some major shifts when it comes to community this week. On Aug. 1, Mars will form a conjunction with the North Node and Uranus. This is a pretty disruptive way to kick things off, since Mars is the planet of conflict and action, and Uranus is the planet of shakeups and radical change. With the North Node in the mix, this transit is all about leaning into newfound security and stability, since this conjunction is taking place in the fixed earth sign of Taurus. As a sign that avoids change, you can expect the adjustments you’re being called to make now a little uncomfortable, but ultimately they’ll be for the best. This week, you may find that you’re up against something that seemingly won’t budge, or something that’s demanding you to make a decision (whether you’re ready for it or not). It’s the perfect time to pace yourself; try not to make any major choices that you haven’t thought through. However, while the sun may not be changing signs yet, there will be some other pretty intense energy taking place in the cosmos this week, making your August 1, 2022 weekly horoscope all about confronting tension and conflict in your birth chart. Mars and Saturn will be taking center stage this week, and as the two malefic planets in astrology, it may not exactly be a walk in the park.
