Weekly Horoscope: August 15–21, 2022
The universe has some fun stuff planned for you this week, starting with an exciting, upbeat moon (our emotional guide)-Jupiter (the planet of destiny) conjunction on Monday. Your warmth and generosity are contagious, and many people will want to be around you, putting you in an enthusiastic “let’s do this” mood.
Tuesday’s Mercury (the talkative planet)/Jupiter and moon/sun (the ego-boosting cosmic force) trines radiate good vibes all around, especially when it comes to talking to people and making big plans. You’re surrounded by love and admiration now, which helps you get the party started and keep it going.
Wednesday’s tense square between Venus, our cosmic love goddess, and the moon threatens to ruin the good vibe you’ve got going. But the more you dwell on negatives, the worse they’ll get. As soon as you think sunnier thoughts, the worry leaves your body and you begin to relax and fall back into that positive groove.
By Friday, you’ll be ready to let loose and have some extreme fun again as the moon makes extraordinary moves, including a conjunction with spontaneous Mars (the planetary personification of strength), a trine to mysterious Pluto (ruler of the underworld) and a sextile with lucky Jupiter. The emotional explosion these universal matchups bring can be mind-blowing—and Mars’ trip into outgoing Gemini on Saturday helps you create the perfect party atmosphere to end the week on a high note.

Virgo
You’re not exactly known as “the life of the party” in your friend group, but you definitely have your moments.

Mars’ trip through your subconscious starts over the weekend, causing you to rethink some of your recent actions. It’s too late for a do-over, but you might do things a little differently next time.

Capricorn
Out of all the signs, you have the hardest time putting your work down and shifting into party mode. But this week’s upbeat, fun-filled planetary energy reminds you that it’s OK—even for you—to put your responsibilities aside long enough to have a good time. Even if it’s just a bit, your mind and body could use a break from all the stress you’ve been under lately. And when potent Mars transits into your health zone over the weekend, a reassessment of your overall well-being is beneficial. It’s time to slow down for a change and pay attention to your needs, Capricorn.

Aquarius
While some hot hookup energy is in the air this week, you aren’t really about that. If you’re feeling someone, you might indulge in some heavy flirting, but that’s the extent. For you, this week is more about making platonic connections and being the social coordinator for some of the year’s most memorable events. Your contacts list is already pretty huge, Aquarius, and it will be even bigger at the end of this seven-day stretch! And the thing you can look forward to most? You’ll be adding some celebs to your growing social media followers. You love to be on the cutting edge, so seeing that you’re trending or that a video you made went viral is squeal-worthy.

Pisces
As an introvert, you often feel awkward around big groups, and to cover your nervousness, you can say or do some cringy things. But that’s all about to change, Pisces. This week’s energy brings you out of your self-imposed solitary confinement and helps you be more outgoing. Taking baby steps into the party scene allows you to ease into having a good time, and, before you know it, you might be dancing on the tabletops (but probably not)! Try saying yes to things you’d usually say no to—and then ask a friend to go with you if you need that extra layer of comfort if you’re afraid you won’t know anyone else.
