Keep the “ifs” and “buts” aside, and stride forward with confidence and positive energy. The final week of Leo season is hyping you up, so own it. Here’s your horoscope for August 16-22.
1. Aries (March 21–April 19)
Dear Aries, this week is all about experimenting and trying new things and people before settling in. The last week of Leo season is making you feel energetic, creative, and a little flirty! Make the most of this adrenaline rush and have some fun. It is important to browse through everything the world has to offer so that you get nothing but the best. Whether it is clothes, job opportunities, or love interests, it is time to make bold moves and put yourself out there.
AAE Pro Tip: Risk-taking is one thing and adding your mom to your Instagram is another, choose carefully.
2. Taurus (April 20–May 20)
The horoscope for August 16-22 is in your favour, Taurus, so be ready for the new opportunities coming your way. This is not the time to sit and cry over spilt milk, so get yourself together and make some changes. The universe is going manifest your wishes only if you put in some effort from your side. And no, there is no magical lamp with a genie to grant your wishes, so get your A-game on. You got this, babe!
AAE Pro Tip: Your mom will act like the genie and make you amazing food all week, so you don’t have to live off half-cooked Maggi anymore.
3. Gemini (May 21–June 20)
The Gemini twins are excited, so expect an eventful week already! The horoscope of August 16-22 brings some emotional drama but you’ll go past it in no time. Instead of letting this week be emotionally draining, make it emotionally uplifting! You’ve got to call the shots and make the decisions that benefit you, so stop thinking about the damn people. Liven up a little and enjoy the Leo energy while it lasts.
AAE Pro Tip: Dress up and show up because people are expecting you to spread the cheer, Santa!
4. Cancer (June 21–July 22)
Dearest Cancer, do you feel well-rested and at peace now? The weekly horoscope tells me that you are in the right mood and feeling human again. Good for the crab, because you will be sailing smoothly through the week with no drama at all. But confrontation is on the cards for you, so don’t run away or hide inside your blanket. Get a trusty friend to do a weekly analysis of your life and help you get back in the zone. It is time to be a people person, so get your shoes on, honey!
AAE Pro Tip: Comfort and luxury are on the cards this week. Get in your bed and get down to some online shopping!
5. Leo (July 23–August 22)
Happy birthday, Leo! The last week of the birthday season is all about letting loose and having no care in the world. Keep the work aside and let the festivities roar louder before they go away. Don’t be afraid to go the extra mile for your own pleasure, even if it means being your own support when it comes to addressing your physical needs too. Put on the music, wear your best outfit, and get Insta ready because it is time to have a gala time with your BFFs!
AAE Pro Tip: Get out of any and all toxic scenarios that drain your energy because this week isn’t about emotional drama.

6. Virgo (August 23–September 22)
The week ahead looks really good for you, Virgo! There’s a lot of binging, naps, wine, gossip, and guests on the card. So, get ready to transition into birthday month already! Do what needs to be done, talk about your ideas, and be verbal about anything on your mind. This is a great time to practise some self-care and take a break from all the cleaning and organising. Just enjoy doing nothing for a while. Trust me, it’s fun.
AAE Pro Tip: Being in your own company is the new cool, so ditch everyone and have a little me-time.

7. Libra (September 23–October 22)
The horoscope for August 16-22 asks you to take a break from work and spend some time around your loved ones. Whether it’s a staycation or game nights at home, this week is all about family bonding. It is also a great time to go down memory lane and pull out some embarrassing stories about your siblings. This will give you the upper hand to use them as weapons or to get things done by them. Get comfy in your PJs, get the popcorn, and have a movie marathon.
AAE Pro Tip: Keep your phone on you at all times because the world might be getting juicier as you get comfortable, and you don’t wanna miss out on the goss!
8. Scorpio (October 23–November 21)
Do I sense some tension between you and bae? I hate giving spoilers, but it looks like your boo will be going all the way to sort things out with you. Give them due credit and be a little more understanding because you need to get through this. And it looks like you’ve got some surprises coming, all thanks to your loving babe. So, you better pull up your socks too and reciprocate the effort. It is time to go big and make a love statement, Scorpio!
AAE Pro Tip: Hit refresh on your flirting and dirty talking because a little naughty text is just an added bonus!
9. Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)
Dear Sagittarius, you will need to constantly rant about your feelings and not bottle them up this week. It may sound silly but you might need to get back to writing your dear diary! You don’t have to tell anyone about it if you don’t want to. The weekly horoscope brings some new opportunities for you to learn and grow but only if you decide to step out of your comfort zone. So, get out of bed because there are bigger things happening in the world besides your group chat gossip, darling.
AAE Pro Tip: Start the week right by setting your mails to DND and letting your colleagues know you appreciate the distance.
10. Capricorn (December 22–January 19)
Stop working like a machine and give yourself a break already! You’ve had a bunch of crazy busy weeks and you seem to be falling into the wrong routine. Overworking isn’t fun and it is definitely nothing to flex about, so peace out and switch off that damn laptop. Being glued to your laptop is taking a toll on your emotional and physical health. And you really need to focus on other parts of your life that need immediate attention. Stop dreaming about a passionate lover when you can’t spare five minutes to respond to a text.
AAE Pro Tip: Indulge in cheesy fries instead of any drama and let the Leo season pass peacefully.
11. Aquarius (January 20–February 18)
The horoscope for August 16-22 brings healing and peace to you. I know you’ve been hurt and betrayed, so lying in bed all day isn’t exactly wrong. When the hurt comes from someone so close, it sucks even more. So, if your mom made pulao but called it biryani and ruined your whole weekend, I feel sorry for you. But you will bounce back from this, dear Aquarius, just keep hanging in there. Stock up on comfort food, or even better, move your ass and do some of your own magic in the kitchen!
AAE Pro Tip: Don’t make Maggi and call it ramen because that is not any better than what your mum did.
12. Pisces (February 19–March 20)
This is the perfect time to switch up your routine and make a new one. Maybe start with sleeping on time, so you don’t wake up with the need to have three cups of chai before dealing with people. And believe me, that is what is making you super cranky and irritated, not your colleagues. Try getting some sleep in you because you have started to look like a tired panda. If that means taking 10 naps a day, so be it, babe!
AAE Pro Tip: Don’t skip kitchen chores because they are going to be the most entertaining part of your week.
Have a crazy good week, people!
