Horoscope Today: August 7, 2024 (2024)

Mercury’s backward dance is here to shake things up in the best way possible! This cosmic rewind is bringing past friends and lovers back into your orbit. Take this as a sign to reminisce and catch up on lost time. Overheard at the cosmic conference: there’s oh-so-much to catch up on! And hey, don’t be surprised if a past lover comes knocking on your door—whether it's for closure, a fresh start, or just to see how you’re doing. Let go of the resistance and be open to what they have to say. At the same, you want to make a conscious effort *not* to go back to the old ways.

Cosmic tip: It’s a blast from the past kind of day!

Leo season reminder: it’s time to move through the week with main character energy! It’s time to make your way to the centre-stage, where you belong! It’s time to share your sacred gifts with the world in a big way without the fear of being *too much*. Here’s something to remember on this journey, though: being the star of your show isn’t just about the big, flashy moments. It’s also about showing up with authenticity, kindness, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact. Fulfil your sacred purpose by being true to yourself and inspiring those around you to embrace their calling too.

Cosmic tip: Step into the limelight and make a difference!

‘Course it’s not going to be easy, Gemini. Every time you take a step forward, memories from a time long gone may hinder your growth. Today, the cards are urging you to contemplate what “detachment” means to you. Remember, practising detachment doesn’t mean you don’t care—it means you’re prioritising your own well-being over everything else. It means letting go of what no longer serves you—whether it’s past hurt or unresolved issues. What the universe is reminding you: you will create room for new, healthier relationships to enter into your life.

Cosmic tip: You’re making space for healthier relationships in your life.

You’ve got a big heart and a natural tendency to care deeply for others, but it’s crucial to remember that reciprocity is what makes any relationship truly thrive. When you’re constantly giving without allowing yourself to receive, it can lead to disappointment and feelings of being unappreciated. On the flip side, receiving without giving can create an imbalance that might strain the connection. Today, think about how you can readjust the scales. Sometimes, this means letting others help you or show their appreciation in their own unique way.

Cosmic tip: Pay attention to how you’re being called to balance the scales in your interpersonal relationships.

Here’s a little something from your August 2024 Soulscope to contemplate as you move through the rest of Leo season: “When it comes to matters of the heart, both magic and madness are indicated. We’re talking about the kind of love that feels fated—that feels serendipitous. So, give yourself the permission to dissolve the barriers as you bring the gift of sensuality into the relationship. This is the season to honour the divine in your beloved by being fully awake and fully present in each moment of togetherness.” This brings us to the most important question, Leo: how are you being called to dive deeper into the ocean of intimacy today?

Cosmic tip: The stars are plotting and planning to bring more magic and madness into your life.

Truth tea, Virgo: you’re not here for the casual flings or the half-hearted efforts—you’re all about that ride-or-die vibe, the kind that stands the test of time. You’re looking for a partner who’s as dedicated and loyal as you are, someone who’s ready to build a solid foundation and invest in your shared future. You want the whole package: trust, stability, and a mutual promise to show up for each other no matter what. What your higher self is urging you to do today is to get in alignment with your deepest desires and make conscious decisions as you go forth. Clichéd as it is, what you seek is seeking you, beautiful!

Cosmic tip: It’s all about loyalty and commitment.

Libra, you’re ready to build a beautiful life with someone who supports the ideas of flourishing together—just like you! Think of it as being a part of a dynamic duo—partners in love and in life, who respect each other’s freedom and individuality without diminishing the desire for deep, unwavering commitment. Overheard at the cosmic conference: you can have it all! Recently met somebody who you see yourself dancing the dance of life with? Don’t hesitate to share the truth about where you are in your journey and the future you envision with them.

Cosmic tip: This Soulscope is your reminder that love and freedom can co-exist.

Here’s the thing, Scorpio: It’s natural to want to protect your heart, especially if you’ve been hurt before. But remember, real love requires a bit of risk and a lot of trust. By holding back, you’re not just shielding yourself from potential pain—you’re also missing out on the deep, meaningful connections you yearn for. Word for the wise: start by identifying what’s holding you back. Are you afraid of getting hurt again? Do you feel like you need to be in control at all times? Once you’ve recognised the source, work on slowly letting it go. PS: the answer lies in taking one step at a time, beautiful.

Cosmic tip: Take that first step towards healing.

Sagittarius, you embody the wise elder—the teacher and the guru. Your tribe looks up to you for your wisdom and your ability to see the bigger picture. Use this gift to offer support and encouragement without interfering with their personal journeys. It’s all about being there for them, cheering them on, and providing a safe space for them to grow and evolve. Remember, everyone’s path is unique, and sometimes the best way to help is simply to listen and offer a shoulder to lean on. When it comes to romantic relationships, you’re being reminded that empathy is your superpower right now. Instead of letting your triggers get the better of you, make a conscious effort to understand what your SO may be going through so you can respond with kindness and compassion.

Cosmic tip: How are you being called to hold space for others?

Your home isn’t just a physical space—it’s where you feel a deep sense of belonging. It’s about coming together with your soul tribe—kindred spirits who make you feel supported and witnessed. This is the perfect time to host gatherings, invite your loved ones over, and celebrate the joy of connection. If you’re thinking about making some changes to your living space, go all out! Whether it’s a fresh coat of paint, new furniture, or simply objects of art that you’ve collected over the years, creating a space that feels just right can have a profound impact on your well-being.

Cosmic tip: How are you being called to make your house a home?

Aquarius, this chapter of your life is about recognising and addressing the deep-seated habits and behaviours that no longer serve you. These could be personal tendencies or even ancestral patterns that have been passed down through generations. Honour this as a powerful time for healing and transformation, not just for yourself but for your entire lineage. Start by becoming aware of these repeating patterns. Reflect on your past experiences and identify the common threads. What are the lessons that keep showing up? What behaviours or reactions do you find yourself falling back on? Most importantly, what are the action steps you are being called to focus on at the moment. Just a reminder: you are the change and the change begins with you.

Cosmic tip: This is your chance to break generational curses.

We hear you, Pisces! Certain areas of your life are moving in slow-mo right now! This feeling of being stagnant may be particularly intense, given we're in the midst of retrograde season. Instead of fighting against the cycles and rhythms of life, surrender, surrender, surrender. Use this time to rest, recharge, and reflect on where you are and how you’re being called to redirect the chariot of your life. Sometimes, taking a break is exactly what you need to gain clarity and look at your situation from a new angle.

Cosmic tip: Pay attention to how you’re being called to redirect the chariot of your life.
