Weekly Horoscope: August 4-August 10, Step Into the Spotlight Under the New Moon

See what this weekly horoscope has in store for your zodiac sign as August's new moon energy echos in the air

The universe is a beautiful place, but it can sometime speak in riddles. This will be especially noticeable this week, with a flurry of cosmic energy to be harnessed.

The arrival of the new moon in Leo on Aug. 4 will be the week's major focus as it lights a fire within you to embrace your passion and live life to the fullest. This lunation is an especially magical one, as the planets will be in a sacred dance that promotes opportunities for success, professional growth and true love.

The week of Aug. 4 is one of the most important weeks of the year for singles to circulate (a sweetheart could be out there praying to meet you!). If coupled up, use this special energy to reignite your spark!

Venus enters Virgo on the Aug. 4 and lasts through Aug. 29, a move that encourages us to be devoted and nurturing in our relationships. Mercury retrograde in Virgo begins on the Aug. 5 and stretches through Aug. 28, which may bring a slower pace to the month ahead.

Aug. 7, meanwhile, is the best day of the week as it's likely to bring opportunities for joy, luck and success. Plan something special for this day and it may feel like you’ve hit the jackpot!

Read on for what this week means for you, according to your zodiac sign.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

While you’ll certainly notice that there’s more of a cosmic spotlight upon you with Venus (the planet of love and pleasure) now in your zodiac sign this week, Virgo, you’ll also feel a need to lie low, rest and recharge.

Mercury retrograde also begins this week and is stirring the pot in your zodiac sign, likely making you feel a bit frazzled. The key to handling all of this energy is to take a step back, treat yourself to a spa day or even just embrace the healing powers of meditation and solitude.

If you’re sensing something is off, this is a time to center yourself, work on improving it behind-the-scenes and focus on achieving a serene sense of balance.

You could also find that an opportunity to step into the spotlight as a leader or pursue one of your greatest aspirations could now be presented.

Last, if you are involved in any legal or contractual negotiations, they could go well now — but if you can hold off on signing until September, you’ll be grateful that you did. If you can’t, just double and triple check everything line by line!
