1. Aries (March 21–April 19)

A new adventure awaits you, Aries, and the horoscope for August 5-11 asks you to embrace it with open arms. It might sound slightly overwhelming, but you might have to let go of certain things and wrap your head around the change without stepping back. This is your chance to step out of your comfort zone and see what the world offers. It’s high time you stop making safe bets and living by the ways you’ve always known. Get out there and explore.

AAE Pro Tip: If things get tough, don’t run back to your comfort zone; find a way to face them.

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 prepared to venture into the real world again. Before you step out, slap on some sunscreen and fill your cup with iced coffee in the name of essentials. You’ll come across some new people this week, but I suggest being a little cautious and not declaring yourself as besties after three drinks. Take your sweet time and get to know them first.

AAE Pro Tip: You might not have the most happening relationship, but at least it’s healthy. Hold on to it.

3. Gemini (May 21–June 20)

Dear Gemini, the horoscope for August 5-11 reminds you why your past is your past and why things and people from your past need to stay there. In an unusual turn of events, you might have gone scrolling down memory lane, stirring up some emotions. But you gotta work through them and remember what it took to get out of there. You might feel opening those doors again could lead to a different outcome, but who are you really trying to fool, love?

AAE Pro Tip: Take a nap or two; when things get overbearing, sleep can comfort you.

4. Cancer (June 21–July 22)

The Leo season is here to finally let go of things and people that don’t belong to you anymore. You’ve held it all in for a long time, and now it has started to weigh you down. Well, Leo season encourages you to move on for your own sake and find more fish in the sea or take a break if needed. There are no rules to abide by; just do what works for you and brings you peace. I’m sure holding onto your past isn’t doing that, so let go.

AAE Pro Tip: Drunk dialling is embarrassing; don’t even think about it.

5. Leo (July 23–August 22)

You deserve to act extra and think that the world revolves around you. Even though you aren’t the axis, what’s the harm in making yourself feel special? It’s the birthday season, and if you wish to go all out, don’t hold back. I’m not suggesting to let go of logic and practicality, but you can go slightly ham. Now, not that you ever stick to budgets when it comes to splurging on yourself; I would suggest being a little more financially responsible just for your own good.

AAE Pro Tip: Day drinking is fun; get that extra large iced coffee and stay buzzed all day.

6. Virgo (August 23–September 22)

Dear Virgo, I know you might want to help the people around you and take it upon yourself to do their tasks. But the horoscope for August 5-11 wants you to understand if your help is requested or if you are imposing it. Do you know what they really want? If the answer is no, maybe take a step back and stop acting like their boss. I know all you want to do is lend a helping hand, but instead of just barging in, get the person involved, see what they want and let them tell you how to help.

AAE Pro Tip: Don’t get offended if someone doesn’t love your aesthetic. You can’t always win. 

7. Libra (September 23–October 22)

The Leo season is bringing extra extra attention to your personal affairs. I would suggest you stop avoiding people and keeping them in the grey area. If you want something out of a relationship, you have to take the risk of going ahead with it. If not, stop leading them on and let them go. You can’t be selfish about this and keep them as a second option till you find something better. So, be a better person and confront whoever you need to. It’s either a yes or no; stop with the maybes.

AAE Pro Tip: Not every decision of yours will get you rewards. Make peace with it. 

8. Scorpio (October 23–November 21)

Whatever has got you spiralling for weeks will find closure this week and allow you to move on. But, let this also serve as a reminder to work on yourself in order to find your peace. It might not always be right or wrong; sometimes, you just have to listen to your heart instead of what your brain is telling you. The Leo season is a roller coaster ride, and I’m sure you are ready to get off it and land back on your feet. The toughest of times will pass by; just have patience.

AAE Pro Tip: It won’t always make sense; sometimes you just gotta go with the flow and get yourself a break. 

9. Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

How’s it going, Sagittarius? Looks like you’ve given up on your own needs and wants and just focusing on what others want from you. But the horoscope for August 5-11 is here to change the narrative and remind you that your first priority is you. Stop putting people first, no matter who they are. If they aren’t respectful or thoughtful of what you need from time to time, stop running after them. Take a firm stand for yourself and stick to it.

AAE Pro Tip: If someone wants to light a fire, don’t try to diffuse it; hand them a lighter and see them back down.

10. Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

You’re so close to hitting another wall, and all I have to say is — steer clear. It might feel 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 be rational when the water goes above your head. So, try finding what makes sense to you and stick to that. Don’t entertain excuses, and don’t indulge anyone’s whims if you’re not up for it. You do you.

AAE Pro Tip: Postponing things won’t do any good. Take it up and get done with it.

11. Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

The horoscope for August 5-11 brings a social week for you, so get ready to mingle. You’ll meet all sorts of people this week who can turn out to be your future colleagues or best mates. If you’re single, you might find a fiery match this Leo season. But if you’re happily committed, avoid giving out the impression that you are single. Someone might make a mistake and approach you with different intentions, leading to some trouble in your paradise.

AAE Pro Tip: Mixing beer and whiskey will get you drunk; go ahead and mix them. 

12. Pisces (February 19–March 20)

Looks like someone is enjoying being a part of everything and having people come to you for validation. Well, this week, you’ll be like the universal adviser to your friends and family. But don’t let it get to your head because who knows what the outcome of all those genius pieces of advice might be? Anyway, you might want to play smart at work and refrain from making commitments that don’t promise any growth or monetary benefits this week.

AAE Pro Tip: Don’t rush to make decisions because you might be running out of time. Good things come in their own time.

Have a lovely week!
