It’s Leo season, baby, so things are bound to heat up and intensify. But hold your ground, don’t overstretch your boundaries, and look after your precious health. Here’s your horoscope for August 7-13.
1. Aries (March 21–April 19)
A rare occurrence in the zodiac charts has happened due to which your social life will suddenly be thriving. But hey, good for you because you’re ready to wear those good shoes and get out of your chappals. This is a good time to spring out of the cocoon and become the social butterfly that you’ve wanted to be. And the best part is that you can decline any invites that seem like too much effort, so it is a win-win.
AAE Pro Tip: Don’t decline any invites that might involve a crush. Just dress up, show up, and crush it.
2. Taurus (April 20–May 20)
Looks like someone woke up on the right side of the bed and is ready to kick ass this week! The Leo season has charged your batteries and you’re ready to venture into the real world again. Before you step out though, slap on some sunscreen and fill your cup with iced coffee in the name of essentials. There are some interesting opportunities in line for you, but you can be a little picky before saying yes, so you get the best.
AAE Pro Tip: You can’t be picky about that Tinder date. You might be fresh in the market but the good stuff is already out of stock.
3. Gemini (May 21–June 20)
The horoscope for August 7-13 warns that you have an emotional week ahead, so keep some alcohol and tissues handy. An event or person can stir up some old memories, and nostalgia is going to hit you like the iceberg that hit Titanic in the dead of the night. So, there’s no escaping drowning in your own emotions, but if you are a little more tactful, you can do a better job. You can invite some company and throw a pity party so you’re not alone.
AAE Pro Tip: Wear red this week. You might be miserable on the inside, but on the outside, you’re a baddie.
4. Cancer (June 21–July 22)
Found yourself stuck in an endless loop of overthinking again? Well, there’s really no knight in shining armour coming to save the day, so you might as well DIY. After all, you deserve a little self-care, self-love, and self-pampering. Yeah, basically, your bae is going to be a bit MIA, but that doesn’t mean you have to be a sad puppy for the rest of the week. So, take yourself out on a date, grab some drinks, get takeaway food, and do some window shopping to feel better.
AAE Pro Tip: Why stick to just browsing when you can do some buying with that freshly credited salary of yours?
5. Leo (July 23–August 22)
Happiest birthday to the mighty lion of the zodiac! Looks like this is your lucky week because whatever obstacles you’ve been facing for a while will now be cleared. But the horoscope for August 7-13 wants you to remember that you will be in the spotlight and you don’t want to make any wrong moves. So, pay attention to your professional and personal spaces as they both will be improving for the better, and try not to jinx shit.
AAE Pro Tip: Birthday season calls for some splurging, but let’s not go too overboard.
6. Virgo (August 23–September 22)
The Leo season is bringing some major changes in your life and you are finding it difficult to get on board with them. But they are inevitable, and sooner or later, you’ll have to wrap your head around them. So, the best thing to do right now is to lighten the load by speaking to someone close. It is okay to show people that you are feeling vulnerable and unsure because it is normal. Just pop open a bottle of wine and spill whatever you’ve been holding inside.
AAE Pro Tip: A mini staycation or quality time with a loved one could put you in a better place.
7. Libra (September 23–October 22)
Dear Libra, the hot and fiery Leo season is asking you to get hot and fiery with someone you’ve been lukewarm with. So, forget everything else because you’re kind of running out of excuses to not go on that date. You’ve gotta try things before you turn them down, and how bad could one date be? Who knows where it might take you? And in the worst-case scenario, you can fake a pet emergency and bail out of it anytime.
AAE Pro Tip: For everyone who’s single and not getting to mingle, DIY is the right course of action for you.
8. Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Took my advice to take it easy yet? Well, if you haven’t, this is your sign from the universe to slow down before you’re burnt out. And trust me, this is not in a fun, intriguing way that challenges you. So, hold your horses and start looking at things from a wider angle. This will allow you to see that not everyone requires your attention and effort all the time and you need to save it for people who actually matter.
AAE Pro Tip: It’s the perfect week to slug around doing the bare minimum and enjoying it.
9. Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)
You really need to stop procrastinating and do what needs to be done. This week is a reminder for you to stop putting people’s needs above yours and first focus on yourself. Your constant need to please people needs to take a back seat and the only person you should be worried about pleasing is yourself. Physically, emotionally, and mentally. So, be your own cheerleader this week, and don’t let anyone else dictate your narrative.
AAE Pro Tip: Stay away from ordering in or even going out ’cause you’re broke and there’s food at home.
10. Capricorn (December 22–January 19)
You’re so close to hitting another wall and all I gotta say is, steer clear. It might feel really overwhelming to deal with things, people, and sometimes, even yourself. But you don’t have to do everything at once, you can act out sometimes, and it is not on you to always think rationally when the water goes above your head. So, try finding what makes sense to you and stick to that. Don’t entertain any excuses and don’t indulge anyone’s whims if you’re not up for it.
AAE Pro Tip: Instead of slowly simmering in your emotions, address the concerns that are bothering you.
11. Aquarius (January 20–February 18)
What’s up, Aquarius? Seems like you’re living the monotonous life and you’re definitely not cut out for it. So, how about we jazz things up a bit and plan that weekend getaway that has been in the group chats for a while? You could definitely use a break to feel like your old self again. And who doesn’t enjoy getting away from ghar ki constant chik chik and endless emails from their boss? Stop thinking and start acting.
AAE Pro Tip: If no one agrees to a solid plan, be Naina from YJHD and try something scary but new.
12. Pisces (February 19–March 20)
The horoscope for August 7-13 wants to remind you that whatever doesn’t float your boat needs to be thrown out. You’re doing a great job of getting your life back on track and right now is not the time to add any more to your plate. So, politely decline anyone who might need a little extra effort from you, because right now, only you deserve to reap the rewards of any hard work.
AAE Pro Tip: To pull off this hard work and make it through the week, you need some boozy concoctions.
Knock knock. Who’s there? Red flag. Red flag who? That person you think is the green flag of your life, sweetie. Have a lovely week ahead!
