Horoscopes: What does the week ahead have in store for you? Our resident expert Seer Sive reads the cosmos for the coming seven days.

Weekly Forecast: 2nd August to 9th August 2026

 

Aries (21 March – 19 April)

Aries (21 March to 19 April)

The Sun blazes through Leo this week, lighting up your fellow fire sign and giving you a welcome boost of confidence and warmth. With the Moon waning after last week’s full moon, this is less a week for grand gestures and more for quiet consolidation. Use the earlier part of the week to finish what you started and the later part to rest properly before the new moon arrives.

Money: Money matters benefit from a steady hand rather than a bold leap. A bill or subscription you have been meaning to cancel deserves attention now, as small leaks add up more than you think. If you are waiting on payment from a client or invoice, a gentle follow up midweek should get things moving. Avoid impulse spending on Friday, when your usual restraint may slip.

For couples: Couples will find warmth and ease this week, particularly around shared plans for the months ahead. A conversation about finances or a joint project goes more smoothly than expected if you lead with honesty rather than assumption. Make time for a proper meal together without screens, even if it is just once. Small rituals matter more than grand ones right now.

For singles: Singles are magnetic this week, with Leo’s warmth rubbing off nicely on your usual Aries spark. Someone from your existing circle, perhaps a friend of a friend, may catch your eye in a new light. Do not rush to define anything just yet. Let the waning moon do its quiet work and enjoy the flirtation for what it is.

Taurus (20 April – 20 May)

Leo season puts the spotlight on your career and public standing, and this week asks you to show up rather than hang back. The waning moon favours tidying loose ends at work before the new moon opens a fresh chapter in a fortnight. Patience remains your greatest asset, even when others around you seem to be moving faster.

Money: Your financial instincts are sound this week, but resist the urge to compare your progress to anyone else’s. A practical review of your savings or a recurring expense reveals an easy win if you take the time to look. Avoid lending money to a friend or family member without a clear agreement, however awkward that conversation feels.

For couples: Couples are asked to talk about the future this week, whether that means holidays, a move, or simply how you divide the load at home. Venus favours comfort and honesty over drama, so use that steadiness to raise the subject you have been avoiding. A shared meal or slow evening together resets the mood beautifully.

For singles: Singles may feel more comfortable staying close to home this week, and that is no bad thing. A familiar face, perhaps someone you already know through work or a hobby, offers more promise than a stranger would. Trust your senses over anyone’s advice, including your own overthinking.

 

Gemini (21 May – 20 June)

The Sun in Leo lights up travel, study, and anything that broadens your horizons, and this week rewards curiosity. With the Moon waning, it is a good time to finish a course, book, or plan rather than start something entirely new. Conversations flow easily, but make sure you are also listening as much as talking.

Money: A financial opportunity may arrive through a conversation or a piece of information you stumble across, so keep your ears open this week. Double check any figures before you commit, since Mercury’s influence can make details slippery when you are excited. A small windfall or refund midweek is worth banking rather than spending immediately.

For couples: Couples benefit from talking through plans for later in the year, whether that is a trip, a course, or simply how you want to spend your weekends. Keep the tone playful rather than serious, since that is when you communicate best together. A shared laugh will do more for the relationship than a heavy conversation right now.

For singles: Singles are likely to meet someone interesting through study, travel plans, or an online conversation that turns unexpectedly deep. Do not dismiss a connection just because it started casually. The waning moon favours letting things unfold slowly rather than forcing a label on it too soon.

Cancer (21 June – 22 July)

With the Sun in Leo highlighting shared resources and intimacy, this week nudges you to look honestly at what you owe and what is owed to you, emotionally as much as financially. The waning moon suits Cancer well, offering a natural pull toward rest and reflection before the new moon brings fresh energy in a fortnight.

Money: This is a sensible week to review a joint account, insurance policy, or debt rather than ignore it. You may feel more protective of your resources than usual, and that instinct is worth listening to. A conversation about money with a partner or family member goes better if you approach it calmly rather than defensively.

For couples: Couples are asked to be honest about vulnerability this week, even when it feels safer to retreat into the shell. A partner may need reassurance that has nothing to do with logic, so meet them with warmth rather than solutions. Physical affection, a hand held or a hug held a little longer, says more than words this week.

For singles: Singles may find themselves drawn to someone who feels safe and familiar rather than exciting and new, and that is not a bad thing right now. Old wounds could surface if a new connection stirs up memories, so give yourself permission to move slowly. Trust builds with time, not speed.

Leo (23 July – 22 August)

It is your season, Leo, and the Sun’s light is squarely on you this week, boosting confidence and visibility in equal measure. The waning moon asks you to pair that energy with a little humility, tying up loose ends before your birthday season truly peaks around the new moon. People are watching, so let them see the version of you that has grown this year.

Money: Financially, this is a week to back yourself but with a plan rather than pure bravado. An opportunity to earn through your talents or personal brand is worth pursuing, though read any contract twice before signing. Treat yourself modestly rather than extravagantly, saving the bigger celebration for when the new moon arrives.

For couples: Couples benefit from Leo’s natural warmth this week, with romance and generosity flowing easily. A partner may want more of your attention than usual, and giving it freely will pay off in goodwill. Plan something special together, even a small outing, to mark this personal new year of yours.

For singles: Singles are unmistakably magnetic this week, drawing attention wherever you go. Enjoy the admiration, but look past the surface for someone who is genuinely curious about who you are beneath the confidence. The right person will be drawn to your warmth, not just your shine.

Virgo (23 August – 22 September)

With the Sun in Leo lighting your zone of rest and reflection, this week asks you to slow down before your own birthday season begins later in August. The waning moon supports quiet processing rather than action, so resist the urge to fill every hour with tasks. Your body and mind will thank you for the pause.

Money: A quiet week for finances suits your natural caution well. This is a good time to review a budget, tidy up paperwork, or set up a system that will save you stress later in the month. Avoid making any major financial decision under pressure, particularly one involving someone else’s timeline rather than your own.

For couples: Couples are asked to rest together rather than tackle a long list of tasks this week. A partner may need you to simply be present rather than helpful, and recognising that difference matters. Let go of the need to have everything sorted before you can relax together.

For singles: Singles may prefer solitude to socialising this week, and that instinct is worth honouring rather than fighting. If someone does catch your attention, let the connection develop through small, low pressure moments rather than a big first date. Rest now sets you up nicely for more social energy once your season begins.

Libra (23 September – 22 October)

The Sun in Leo lights up friendships and future goals this week, encouraging you to lean on your social circle for support and ideas. The waning moon favours reflecting on which goals still matter to you and which ones you have outgrown. A group plan or community event brings more joy than expected.

Money: Money conversations within a group, whether splitting costs with friends or discussing a shared project, need clear communication this week. Do not assume everyone is on the same page without checking. A friend’s advice on spending or saving is worth hearing, though the final decision should remain yours.

For couples: Couples benefit from socialising together this week rather than staying insular. Seeing friends as a pair, or working on a shared goal, strengthens the bond nicely. If there has been tension, a fair and balanced conversation now, true to your sign’s love of harmony, will smooth things over.

For singles: Singles are likely to meet someone promising through friends or a group setting rather than a chance encounter alone. Say yes to the invitation you would normally hesitate over. The waning moon favours connections that grow naturally out of shared interests rather than forced introductions.

 

Scorpio (23 October – 21 November)

With the Sun in Leo highlighting your career and reputation, this week puts your professional life under gentle scrutiny. The waning moon suits Scorpio’s natural depth, favouring strategic thinking over impulsive moves. Trust your instincts about who is genuinely in your corner at work.

Money: This is a favourable week to negotiate, whether that means a pay rise, a new contract, or better terms with a supplier. Prepare your case thoroughly, since your natural persuasiveness works best when backed by facts. Avoid discussing your finances too openly with colleagues, however tempting the conversation becomes.

For couples: Couples are asked to support each other’s ambitions this week rather than compete, even subtly. A partner’s success is not a threat to yours, and remembering that keeps the relationship steady. Make time to celebrate a win together, however small it seems.

For singles: Singles may find someone intriguing through work or a professional setting this week, though it is worth keeping things discreet until you know where it is heading. Your magnetism is strong right now, but so is your guardedness. Let a little vulnerability show through if the connection feels right.

Sagittarius (22 November – 21 December)

The Sun in Leo lights up travel, study, and belief systems this week, feeding your natural appetite for adventure and meaning. The waning moon favours planning rather than departing, so use this week to research and book rather than rush off impulsively. A conversation with someone from a different background broadens your perspective nicely.

Money: Financially, this is a sensible week to budget for a trip, course, or big idea rather than spend on it outright. A generous impulse toward a friend or cause is admirable but check your own finances first. A small return on a past investment or piece of work may arrive unexpectedly.

For couples: Couples benefit from discussing bigger picture plans this week, whether that is travel, values, or where you see things heading. Keep the conversation open and curious rather than pinning down every detail. A shared adventure, even a small local one, reignites the spark nicely.

For singles: Singles are drawn to someone who challenges their thinking or comes from a different world this week, and the attraction feels refreshing. Do not let a difference in background put you off before you have had a proper conversation. The waning moon favours connections built on genuine curiosity.

 

Capricorn (22 December – 19 January)

With the Sun in Leo highlighting shared finances and intimacy, this week asks you to look honestly at what you are holding onto, whether that is money, responsibility, or emotional weight. The waning moon supports quiet strategic thinking rather than public displays of effort. Trust that steady progress, even unseen, still counts.

Money: This is a productive week to review debts, investments, or a joint financial arrangement. Your natural discipline serves you well, though it is worth checking that you are not being overly cautious to the point of missing a genuine opportunity. A conversation about money with a partner or family member should be direct but kind.

For couples: Couples are asked to deepen trust this week, particularly around finances or long term plans. A partner may need reassurance that you are in this together rather than managing everything alone. Let them in on a worry you have been carrying quietly.

For singles: Singles may feel more guarded than usual this week, which is understandable but worth softening slightly if someone genuine shows interest. A connection built on mutual respect and shared ambition suits you far better than a fleeting spark. Give it time before deciding it is not worth pursuing.

Aquarius (20 January – 18 February)

The Sun in Leo lights up your relationships this week, your opposite sign bringing balance and a touch of drama to your usual independence. The waning moon favours compromise over standing your ground on every point. A partnership, whether personal or professional, benefits from you softening just slightly.

Money: A shared financial matter, whether a joint account, a split bill, or a business partnership, needs your attention this week. Approach it with your usual logic but leave room for the other person’s perspective too. An unexpected expense midweek is manageable if you do not panic.

For couples: Couples are asked to meet in the middle this week, particularly if there has been a difference of opinion recently. Your independence is precious, but so is your partner’s need to feel prioritised. A small gesture of compromise goes further than you expect.

For singles: Singles may find that someone unexpected, quite different to your usual type, catches your interest this week. Resist the urge to overanalyse the connection before it has even begun. The waning moon favours letting curiosity lead rather than logic.

Pisces (19 February – 20 March)

With the Sun in Leo highlighting daily routines and health, this week nudges you to look at habits that no longer serve you. The waning moon supports gentle release rather than dramatic change, so pick one small adjustment rather than overhauling everything at once. Your intuition is particularly strong, so trust the nudges you receive.

Money: A practical review of your daily spending, subscriptions, or work related costs pays off this week. You may feel less inclined toward daydreaming about money and more drawn to sorting the details, which is a welcome shift. A colleague or coworker may offer useful financial advice if you ask.

For couples: Couples benefit from tending to the everyday this week, whether that is sharing chores more fairly or simply checking in on how each other is coping with routine stress. Small acts of care matter more than grand gestures right now. Rest together when you can.

For singles: Singles may meet someone through work, a health related activity, or a daily routine this week rather than anywhere glamorous. Do not overlook a connection just because the setting feels ordinary. The waning moon favours quiet, steady attraction over anything flashy.
