Weekly Horoscopes for Queer Women | Monday, August 21
There’s a lot of astrological activity going on this week, the most famous of which is the solar eclipse on Monday, conjoint Donald Trump’s ascendant. Because this eclipse conjuncts Uranus, something unexpected will occur. The solar eclipse, being a new moon, will have to do with new beginnings. This period between the lunar eclipse and the solar one has been especially intense, with what is going on in Charlottesville. It is likely that this solar eclipse will evolve this same situation.
The sun enters Virgo right after the eclipse. This point, between Leo and Virgo, is where the royal fixed star Regulus sits. Regulus is about restoration and it’s arch angel about healing. Regulus asks us to heal something in ourselves but it’s restorative powers also ask us to put something back in the way that it used to be. Our main conflict right now is in the different ways that we define Regulus and this act of restoration and perpetuation.
As Venus enters Leo, Saturn also moves out of it’s retrograde station. For the first time since April, Saturn is moving forward again, about to leave Sagittarius for Capricorn. Our limitations, boundaries, and divisions, until now, have been ideological. In Capricorn, the work that we will have to do is not necessarily political anymore but about the material world. We will be ready to organize now, consider our resources, and what is most necessary in our lives to move forward, alway keeping in mind that survival is the only security possible.
(These horoscopes are more accurate if you look at your rising sign, sun sign, and moon sign! If you don’t know your time of birth, sun and moon signs are fine.)
♈️ Aries ♈️
Work is what you’ll focus on this week. Something happens out of your hands. You’re asked to consider just whom it is you serve this week. With the work that you do, what do you perpetuate and what do you absolve? Healing must be part of your daily practice, Aries. The challenge is to take care of yourself as literally as you can manage.
♉️ Taurus ♉️
It’s impossible to tell what will happen in terms of love for you, except that it will be intense and resistant to all attempts you make to control the situation. You might be experiencing some emotional burn out and you might find it difficult to inspire romance in your life. Ask yourself what it is you are perpetuating in your love life.
♊️ Gemini ♊️
Most of your concerns are about the home right now, whether something is going on in your family or your are literally moving. What is the tension between your immediate community and your ancestral past? In what ways can you use the concept of home to heal yourself and to refuse to perpetuate the burdens we live with?
♋️ Cancer ♋️
You’re in the process of learning something new and the people you find yourself around all the time are significant in your life right now. It could be a neighbor, a roommate, or a friend. Have a conversation about what perpetual cycles you live within and cannot leave. What is working in the language you use and what is not?
♌️ Leo ♌️
Tension comes between your identity and how you sustain yourself. Who is your dream self, the one that you express to the outer world and how much money do you need to be making to sustain this dream self? Figure out how to get your financial life in order, Leo. This will involve reconsidering your values and what makes you valuable.
♍️ Virgo ♍️
This has been the ideal time for a vacation for you. Resist depression by finding activities for yourself and things to learn that are besides the point for your normal work. There is no point of a human life, save for human expression and you forget this often, always needing to find a larger purpose to serve. Let yourself be happy first to find your purpose.
♎️ Libra ♎️
Who are you willing to die for and who are you living for? Depending on how invested you are in your friends, this week can be paranoid for you. You want to have pervasive connections with the people in your lives and for all relationships to mean something. Define that meaning for yourself so that it is not taken away from you by your fears and anxieties.
♏️ Scorpio ♏️
There’s a difference between your career goals and life purpose and never does that separation feel as strong as it does now. You might feel a little daunted by your own will or a little cynical about your actual goals. This is meant to inspire your life and making your vision more accountable.
♐️ Sagittarius ♐️
Your self representation is the issue for you right now. How do you perform your ideology and what practical consequences does that have? Who does your ideology serve outside of yourself? How can ally ship be un-performative if living life is a performance? If someone or something disagrees with you, critique it and yourself along these lines.
♑️ Capricorn ♑️
What is truth? What are some things you regard as true and who does that make you accountable for and dependent on? You might struggle against a didactic person, structure, or part of yourself this week. What do you perpetuate inside of your most intimate relationships? What does power have to do with sex for you?
♒️ Aquarius ♒️
How continues without your consent in terms of your lived relationships? You have a ton of interactions with other people right now, whether they are brief and casual or intense and thought provoking. You tend to consider the concept of society more than actual people. This week, be more present for the people you actually find yourself around. Have some sex.
♓️ Pisces ♓️
What is the difference between your lived body and the body that everyone else sees? People can’t see the perpetual back pains or stomach aches that you feel. How do these real and imagined bodies contain you in your existence? And how does the separateness of these bodies limit and provide for your capacity for self care?
