This week kicks up emotional dust as Venus squares both Saturn and Neptune, calling out the gap between what we want and what’s actually working. If tension surfaces in love, money, or self-worth, don’t gloss over it. These aren’t random mood swings—they’re indicators. The half-moon in Scorpio on Friday asks for honesty, not perfection. Let things be raw if that’s what’s real.Mercury retrograde merges with the Sun, amplifying internal dialogue and making it harder to let thoughts rest. Still, stargazer, brief lunar trines to Jupiter and Uranus offer moments of grounded insight if you’re paying attention. Let discomfort guide you without running from it. This week isn’t about control—it’s about recognition. You already know what’s off. Now you get to decide what to do with that knowledge.How will your sign fare this week?Aries: March 21 – April 19Mars stays in Virgo this week, and with the Moon forming a conjunction early on and a sextile by the weekend, the energy you’re channeling is sharp, efficient, and very results-driven. But Aries, the key isn’t to do more—it’s to do what actually matters. If you’re running on autopilot just to avoid stillness, you’re missing the point of this moment.Your motivation is valid, but urgency without direction will just leave you drained. Let the structure of Virgo help you refine the fire you’re known for. By the end of the week, you may surprise yourself with how much smoother things feel when you’re acting from precision instead of pressure. You don’t need to prove—just proceed.Aries monthly horoscopeTaurus: April 20 – May 20Venus shifts from Gemini to Cancer this week, and you’ll feel the emotional whiplash, Taurus. Early tension from the Moon’s square may leave you second-guessing your needs, but by midweek, a soothing trine helps you feel a bit more like yourself. Then comes Friday, when Venus squares Saturn and Neptune—expect mixed signals, especially in love, money, or self-worth.This isn’t a crisis; it’s a checkpoint. You’re being asked to define what feels safe and what’s simply familiar. If someone or something isn’t giving back what you give, stop pretending you don’t notice. You’re not needy for wanting consistency—you’re wired for it. Let this week be the one where you stop shrinking just to keep the peace.Taurus monthly horoscopeGemini: May 21 – June 20Mercury travels through Virgo this week, sharpening your focus while stirring up your perfectionist tendencies, Gemini. A sextile with the Moon on Monday brings helpful insight, but as the week moves on, a conjunction with the Sun and a square from the Moon might leave you feeling overexposed. Too many opinions, too many drafts—nothing feels finished, even when it is.Don’t lose yourself in the urge to over-edit your life. Not everything needs a polished exit line or clever reframe. Let this week remind you that being present is more valuable than being clever. You’re allowed to say the wrong thing and still be understood. You’re allowed to rest without finishing the thought. Let it be enough.Gemini monthly horoscopeCancer: June 21 – July 22This week is packed with lunar action, Cancer, which means you’ll feel everything—and then some. A conjunction with Mars and a square to Venus early on brings emotional intensity, especially around relationships and unspoken expectations. The Moon’s later opposition to Saturn and Neptune could leave you questioning whether you’re asking too much or giving too much. You’re not. You just need balance, not self-erasure.By the time the Moon enters Scorpio and hits the half-moon phase, emotional momentum peaks. But not in a dramatic way—in a way that shows you what’s been building quietly behind your reactions. You’re allowed to be soft, but you’re also allowed to hold the line. Being sensitive isn’t the same as being small.Cancer monthly horoscopeLeo: July 23 – August 22The Sun holds a sextile with the Moon midweek, softening some of the pressure you’ve been carrying, Leo. But by Thursday, a conjunction with Mercury puts your voice front and center. That spotlight can feel energizing—or exhausting—depending on how authentic you’re being. Don’t fall into the trap of saying what sounds good. Say what’s actually true, even if it’s imperfect.By Friday, the Moon in Scorpio brings the half-moon phase and a nudge to check your foundation. You can’t keep everything running on charisma alone. If you’ve been ignoring what you need just to appear put-together, it will show. People don’t love you because you have it all figured out. They love you because you’re real.Leo monthly horoscopeVirgo: August 23 – September 22With Mercury retrograde in Leo and a Sun-Mercury conjunction midweek, your thoughts might feel louder than usual, Virgo—but not always more helpful. A Moon sextile early on gives you a brief window to express yourself clearly, but don’t be surprised if by Friday, during the square, misunderstandings creep in. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s presence. Let people meet the real you, not just the edited version.This week challenges your need to make sense of everything before acting. Some feelings don’t come with a full explanation, and some conversations don’t need a conclusion. Let yourself exist in the mess without trying to fix it all. Your value isn’t in what you solve—it’s in how you show up.Virgo monthly horoscopeLibra: September 23 – October 22Venus moves from Gemini to Cancer this week, and the transition might hit a little harder than expected, Libra. A square to the Moon early on stirs up emotional friction, while Friday’s tense angles to Saturn and Neptune spotlight where fantasy and reality aren’t playing nice. If you’ve been romanticizing something—or someone—it may be time to recheck the facts.That doesn’t mean shutting down your heart. It means giving it better tools. You’re learning that love, comfort, and connection need more than hope. They need consistency. This week, notice who shows up without being asked. Notice where you shrink or over-give to avoid confrontation. That’s the real information. And it’s worth listening to.Libra monthly horoscopeScorpio: October 23 – November 21Pluto retrograde in Aquarius gets stirred this week with a Moon trine on Tuesday and a tense square by Thursday. You may start the week with a clear sense of direction or power—only to have it rattled by someone’s pushback or withdrawal. This isn’t a loss of control. It’s a test of what control actually means to you now.You’ve evolved past power games that drain you, Scorpio. This week shows you how far you’ve come—and where you’re still tempted to revert. Let discomfort be a signal, not a spiral. Just because something gets under your skin doesn’t mean it deserves your time. Choose your reactions like they cost something. Because they do.Scorpio monthly horoscopeSagittarius: November 22 – December 21This week kicks off with a Moon-Jupiter sextile, which feels like a cosmic green light—your optimism returns, your confidence clicks. But that boost won’t last if it’s not grounded in something real. By Tuesday, a square from the Moon could stir up friction, especially if you’ve been avoiding emotional responsibilities. Don’t confuse big feelings with forward movement.A trine on Friday brings things back into alignment, but only if you’ve been honest with yourself midweek. There’s nothing wrong with craving momentum, Sagittarius, but ask what you’re actually chasing. Validation? Escape? A do-over? You’ll get more out of this week if you stop trying to outrun discomfort and start listening to what it’s asking you to do differently.Sagittarius monthly horoscopeCapricorn: December 22 – January 19Saturn continues its conjunction with Neptune retrograde, blurring the boundary between effort and escape. A Moon opposition early in the week might leave you feeling misunderstood or out of sync—especially when you’re trying to keep everything running smoothly. Then on Friday, Venus squares Saturn and calls attention to where you’ve overextended yourself emotionally, financially, or both.Capricorn, it’s tempting to measure your worth by what you carry or fix, but this week reminds you that endurance isn’t always a virtue. Some things aren’t meant to be carried alone—or at all. What would happen if you didn’t try so hard? Let this be the week you choose peace over perfection, even if no one claps for it.Capricorn monthly horoscopeAquarius: January 20 – February 18The Moon trines Uranus early this week, giving you a brief but potent window to shift something you’ve been stuck on, Aquarius. Whether it’s a pattern, a perspective, or a plan that no longer fits, don’t wait for permission to pivot. You’re not here to color inside the lines—especially the ones you didn’t draw yourself.This week, notice where you’ve been dialing yourself down to keep things “normal.” You don’t thrive in normal. You thrive in the unexpected, the experimental, the honest. Let your weird be useful. Let it move you. The version of you that doesn’t ask for approval might just be the one who’s ready to actually lead.Aquarius monthly horoscopePisces: February 19 – March 20The Moon opposes Neptune early in the week, followed by a Venus square on Friday—both pushing you to confront what’s real versus what’s been idealized, Pisces. You may feel more sensitive than usual, especially in love or creative expression. That doesn’t mean you’re wrong. It means your heart is telling you where it’s been working overtime without support.Fantasy has its place, but this week, you’ll feel the difference between dreaming and escaping. If something feels off, trust it. If someone keeps leaving you guessing, ask why you’re still playing along. This is your cue to protect your energy without shutting it down. You don’t need to explain your emotions to make them valid. Just feel them.Pisces monthly horoscopeWhen you buy through our links, we may earn an affiliate commission.The post Weekly Horoscope: July 27-August 2 appeared first on VICE.
