HOROSCOPES: Ready for a health kick, Virgo?

Natasha Weber is an astrology genius and has predicted our horoscopes for the week beginning August 18. For more from Natasha, follow her on Instagram and Facebook.

La Luna brings a pivotal turning point on Tuesday by finally realising a wish you've nurtured for months. As the Moon shifts into your sign on Thursday, the full emotional weight of what’s happened could hit you. You may feel a surge of energy or vulnerability, so managing these emotions carefully is vital. Stay grounded to leverage this transition without getting sidetracked. 

POWER DAY Saturday.

Feel the surge of determination as Pluto amplifies your deepest ambitions. Sure, you might encounter scepticism from others, but it’s crucial to stay focused and ignore the doubters. Their views can cloud your vision if you let them. By Saturday, it’s all about trusting your gut. Sometimes, the best decisions are made without overthinking. Let your instincts lead the way. 

POWER DAY Sunday.

Venus superfies romance, promising a date that feels like a fairytale or a chill night on the couch connecting with your special person. If a man tries to pin his troubles on you, stand firm and make it clear you won’t be shouldering his baggage. Feel free to call out his behaviour, but be mindful of your words, especially with Mercury in retrograde. 

POWER DAY Tuesday.

If you hear a rumour or secret about a friend this week, it’s best to keep it under wraps. As the full Moon illuminates your money sector, take this as a cue to wrap up any outstanding financial matters. Settle old debts or collect what’s owed to you. Clearing the slate as much as possible now will free up space to grow your money tree later. 

POWER DAY Tuesday.

Rebellious Uranus tempts you off the beaten path this week, giving you the nerve to try something radically different! If someone’s asking for a handout, keep it to an amount you’re comfortable not getting back. And don’t let a jam-packed week steal all your attention. Set aside time for intimacy; it’s as important as any meeting in your iCal. 

POWER DAY Monday.

Ready for a health kick? Tuesday’s full Moon in your wellness zone is perfect for starting. Yet, it’s your commitment that will turn plans into progress. On Friday, the sun hits your sign, marking your personal New Year. What’s on your wish list for the next 12 months? Set solid intentions now — it’s the perfect time to rethink and reset. 

POWER DAY Friday.

When someone's actions rub you the wrong way this week, especially if it's a woman you know, try to see the good in her. Everyone has positive aspects, and focusing on these can turn your frustration into understanding. And if you're eager to prove yourself but the right opportunity has yet to come along, hold tight. Good things take time, and your chance to shine is drawing near. 

POWER DAY Friday.

Family dynamics might be strained this week. Approach any tension with sensitivity — being empathetic can defuse potential conflicts. Clear communication is key to effectively navigating choppy waters when Mercury is in retrograde. Love is in the air for single Scorpios. With Venus and Mars aligning, what starts as casual banter could blossom into a beautiful romance. 

POWER DAY Friday.

You may find yourself defending your space and values this week. Calling out rudeness or disrespect sets the record straight and strengthens your position. When the pressure mounts, consider retreating to a quiet lakeside or serene seaside. Thanks to Neptune, being near water offers a mental reset, enhancing your ability to think clearly and remain composed. 

POWER DAY Tuesday.

Keep your words practical and to the point this week — it’s your fool-proof conversation strategy for getting your message across. If you've been burning the midnight oil and consumed by FOMO, Venus tempts you to indulge in a little pleasure and enjoy what you’ve been missing. However, if you’ve been dragging your feet on responsibilities, Saturn’s push will get you moving — no more procrastination! 

POWER DAY Wednesday.

Tuesday’s full Moon in your sign is all about bold moves and breakthroughs. Ask yourself where you’ve been playing it safe, and take that leap into something that excites and challenges you. Dare to be radically you! And when you’re meeting new people, do your best to remember their names — Neptune’s hinting that this small effort could really pay off in building strong connections. 

POWER DAY Tuesday.

Saturn and Jupiter give you the clarity and confidence to establish firm boundaries during a family conversation. If there’s been something you’ve been meaning to address, now’s the time to speak up and make your position clear. By Saturday, Venus works her love magic, helping singles heal from past heartache and opening the door to a new romantic connection. Venus lands couples back on the same page. 

POWER DAY Tuesday.
