1. Aries (March 21–April 19)

To do or not to do has never been a dilemma for you, Aries. So, be wise and pick smartly. It is time to get back in your element and do your thang. Whether it is a work affair or a personal one, enough of you being a calm listener. It is time to get down to some action because you’ve been sitting on the benches for too long. And if you don’t wanna get rusty, you gotta buck up and get back in the game. Don’t be afraid of failure, afraid of not even trying.

AAE Pro Tip: Not every decision is a good one; chug that beer and have those shots.

2. Taurus (April 20–May 20)

I know you love everyone around you, but the harsh reality is that not everyone thinks about you in the best manner, babe. Yes, there are certain ‘close ones’ who only wish to benefit themselves in your relationship, and the horoscope for August 19-25 asks you to be a little more mindful of such people. You don’t want to end up being in a one-sided friendship cause those suck worse than one-sided relationships. So, take the tough call and step back from such people for your own sake.

AAE Pro Tip: A Cancer friend is in the mood to catch up; clear your calendar and make plans.

3. Gemini (May 21–June 20)

How are you doing, my wild child? Looks like adulting has really started to tame you. Well, don’t worry because a storm of a person, maybe an ex-partner or a friend you haven’t seen in a while, is coming to the town to rock your life. So, be prepared for spontaneous decisions, maybe a staycation, and some heavy-duty drinking this week. You deserve to live a fun life every once in a while, enjoy.

AAE Pro Tip: The retrograde season is stirring up some drama; prepare to watch it with a cocktail in your hand.

4. Cancer (June 21–July 22)

Dear Cancer, I hate to burst your bubble, but not everyone around you is a red flag. Yeah, a majority of people are, but have you considered that you also fall into that majority sometimes? Save that huge gasp because it is time to face your own truth. You might call the good people on the internet toxic all day, but you aren’t any better sometimes. A little acceptance could really do you some good, and a reality check is long overdue anyway. Make notes and treat them as lessons for your future self.

AAE Pro Tip: Catch up with a Taurus friend to vent and cry over nothing; it is better than paying for therapy. 

5. Leo (July 23–August 22)

Birthday season is coming to a close, and I know you are ready to settle down into the Virgo season. The horoscope for August 19-25 suggests you embrace the calm and collected vibes of the earth season and get back in your groove. It’s time to work on your personal and work life and build them both simultaneously. We are halfway past 2024, and by now, you must know what’s worth keeping in your life and what deserves to be chucked out. Get serious about doing both this week onwards.

AAE Pro Tip: Find a moment to check in with yourself and see how you’re holding up.

6. Virgo (August 23–September 22)

I know you can’t keep calm as we are so close to the birthday season. And this is the perfect time to boss around and make people act like your minions, all in the name of birthday season. Well, everyone could use a little Virgo energy right now, as the Mercury retrograde in Leo has everyone scrambling and struggling. So, pick up that phone, and throw unnecessary advice at friends and family and see people running to follow it. Enjoy the influence while it lasts.

AAE Pro Tip: Stand in front of a mirror, give yourself some advice, and run to follow it.

7. Libra (September 23–October 22)

The horoscope for August 19-25 reminds you to stop stressing over things beyond you. You are one overthinking session away from breaking out and having a large zit on your face. Not a fan of that look, no? So, try to communicate your concerns to people without sounding derogatory, mean, or snobbish. If you want a way out, you have to seek help from the people around you. Get off your high horse; the Earth season brings better days.

AAE Pro Tip: This week has a ‘feels like I need a drink’ kinda vibe. Follow through, and don’t be a buzzkill.  

8. Scorpio (October 23–November 21)

You’ve finally broken out of your shell of ‘to do or not to do’. Well, catch a quick breath and get on with whatever you’ve decided. The onset of the Virgo season has got you in your creative zone, and it might help you find what you’ve been looking for for years, both personally and professionally. Don’t let overthinking stop you from trying something new or picking something old. Be in the moment and enjoy the process.

AAE Pro Tip: Relationship talks might take centre stage; don’t run away from it and address what’s happening.

9. Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

Like it or not, Sagittarius, you’ve been stretching it too thin, and sooner or later, things are going to snap. So, the horoscope for August 19-25 is here to remind you to take a break. Pushing yourself to be better is one thing, but pushing yourself to the edge of the cliff is plain dangerous. And from the looks of it, you’re nearing that edge. So, slowly back down, take a moment to process your emotions, and clear your head. It’ll get better, but first, you need a vacation.

AAE Pro Tip: If you seriously want to make plans that get out of the group chat, don’t make plans for Goa.

10. Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

The Leo season has got you all over the place with things overflowing from your plate. I know it’s been frustrating to keep up with things and people, and you could really use a break. And with the upcoming earth season, there’s hope for you. Things will finally start panning out; whatever has been put on hold for a while will finally resume, and you will find yourself feeling more in tune. So, hold it out till midweek and let the transition bring you some peace and time to focus on yourself.

AAE Pro Tip: You need a Virgo to help sort out your life, call one up; they are there for you.

11. Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

How’s it going, Aquarius? With the Leo season coming to an end, you might wanna sober up from all that socialising and partying and get back to your desk. Your job demands your effort and time right now, and if all goes well, you might be rewarded. But don’t try too hard for people to like you because you can come off as a little overbearing. Make your cute knock-knock jokes, and carry on.

AAE Pro Tip: There’s some trouble in your romantic paradise, sort it out before it blows out of proportion. 

12. Pisces (February 19–March 20)

It’s getting busier from now on, Pisces, so fasten your seat belt and prepare for a mad week. Work, personal affairs, and social life — everything is going to take centre stage, and it might get a little overwhelming to deal with. Don’t worry; catch your breath and strategise how you want to move ahead. If you need any help, don’t hesitate to ask for it. Don’t entertain stupid people, though, which includes your current boss.

AAE Pro Tip: Drinking green tea won’t fix your mental health; having pizza might. 

Have a lovely week!
