Aries weekly horoscope: What your star sign has in store for July 20 – July 26
Before you start shouting, ghosting or making demands, look deeper at the tensions and triggers of your frustration.
The Five of Wands asks you to get to the root cause of any relationship issues.
Don’t add fuel to the fire.
Put the fire out and sift through the ashes to analyse the real meaning and drivers of the situation, and then talk about it at that level.
Work & Purpose – Ace of Wands
Mercury moves into Virgo on the 25th which brings practical, tangible and commercially attractive offers, pitches, applications and ideas your way.
Networking yields results in August.
The conversations you have make a difference.
People have advice, input, suggestions, and ways they can help out.
This all leads to a new beginning of some sort, maybe you’re now able to activate an idea you’ve had to sit on for a long time.
Things become possible that weren’t before. Good news!
Omen to look out for – Queen of Coins
A conversation (direct or overheard or even via social media) between two older women yields a piece of practical wisdom or advice that feels MEANT for you right now.
And you immediately put it into practice and it works!
And this makes you want MORE insight and wisdom from elders and experienced folk in your direct realm, so you start asking questions… and the answers are amazing.

Work & Purpose – Death
This eclipse season is bringing you major revelations and personal insights.
And you realise you’re not the same person you were when you started out on your current career path or purpose.
Things have changed, YOU have changed.
By the time the Full Moon in Pisces lunar eclipse rolls in at month end, you are embarking on a total programme of reinvention and transformation.
Retraining, side stepping, promotion, time out, education, travel… it’s all possible depending on what personal insight you choose to favour and align with.
This is August’s priority.
Omen to look out for – Six of Wands
Look out for the number 6 or repeats of it.
Look out for lucky symbols, numbers, totems, sayings or nudges.
Look out for games of chance you’ve never noticed in your daily path before- maybe play a hand!
Fortune is trying to catch your attention!
There is a prize with your name on it awaiting you this August- don’t miss out.
Prime your radar to notice lucky feelings and openings.
Gemini
Some things change, and some don’tCredit: @inlovewithcameras
Love & Relationships – Seven of Coins
Venus, the planet of love, moves into Libra, the sign of balance, on the 6th. This prompts a phase of re-evaluation for you.
And the main thrust is noticing those commitments, social circles, acquaintances, situationships and roles that just don’t get your heart beating fast anymore.
There’s a sense of shedding or purging this August, letting the old fade away, so that new growth can begin and fresh connections forge.
Everything ebbs and flows.
People enjoy seasons together. But not everything lasts.
Don’t hold on to what is running its course.
Work & Purpose – Temperance
Virgo season, starting on the 22nd, gets us all in a practical, realistic, can-do mindset.
And you will enjoy the clarity and calmness created by just focusing on what is in front of you, demanding attention, rather than endlessly wondering “what if…” and second guessing yourself.
You are due a phase of certainty and grounding in your career and life path.
A phase of knowing what you’re doing, enjoying it, and not looking for anything else.
This is where you can flex your muscles and showcase your skills, you’re good at what you do… time to just enjoy it.
Omen to look out for – Justice
Look out for the number 11 or repeats of it.
An inspiring life lesson will be revealed to you, and you alone, this August.
Maybe it’s a vision or lightbulb moment about your own history, maybe someone shares a deep story of their own, maybe even it’s via social media or a podcast or show.
Open your ears to hear a story or receive a memory of how justice was served, after a long time, how karma saw, took notes and paid out in the end.
You need to hear this.
Cancer
Everything is getting better and better Credit: @inlovewithcameras
Love & Relationships – Nine of Coins
Mars moves into your sign which ignites your ambitions and heart’s desires… and many of them centre on your relationship realm. You’re not settling any longer.
You’re not putting up with less than you deserve.
You’re not allowing things to slide or drift or fracture, not on your watch!
The Nine of Coins sees you working a plan, pushing for improvements, making cuts, reaching out to old friends, talking about issues in order to resolve them, making new acquaintances and not being shy.
You are putting effective effort into building a relationship landscape you can feel totally at home in!
Work & Purpose – The Emperor
Eclipse season stirs things up but you’re actually pleased because The Emperor is bringing you all of the self confidence, motivation and forcefulness to make things suit your agenda.
You know where you’re heading, you know what you want.
And a little bit of chaos in the environment works because it creates new openings and angles, and you’re on point and primed to slip into them and create a niche.
Be pro-active, pushy even. Be bold, imaginative, charismatic.
You have natural soft skills and when you put them to work on a hard objective, magic can happen! Get where you want to go!
Omen to look out for – Knight of Swords
You may have a vision or lucid dream about work that feels unsettling and strange, maybe it makes you feel like stepping back from a challenging situation or opening you were angling for.
Ignore this feeling and push through the discomfort, because rewards await.
Dare I say, practice feeling uncomfortable.
Because discomfort is often the gateway to amazing new opportunity.
If you can endure it, for a short while, you can sail through to what lies beyond it… new horizons.
Leo
Don’t worry, don’t compromise, and don’t ignore magical signsCredit: @inlovewithcameras
Love & Relationships – Nine of Swords
Eclipse season often heightens our emotions and amplifies small fears or doubts into much bigger ones.
The New Moon solar eclipse in Leo on the 9th is a peak time for you to wipe the slate clean in any festering relationship woes.
Speak up, express yourself, ask questions, listen well, resolve to turn a new leaf together and not repeat the mistakes that have led you here.
Everything can be repaired, with attention and goodwill, and you possess both of them.
Don’t worry so much. Speak up.
Work & Purpose – Queen of Swords
From the 10th, Mars (the planet of ambition) moves into Cancer (the sign of intimacy and home) which, coupled with this ambitious and independent Queen of Swords, makes me think you’re thinking about going solo, side line projects, retraining, starting a business, becoming a consultant or taking on a freelancing portfolio of work.
Things have changed and you’re tired of being dictated to by outside forces, you’d like to have control over your own purpose and career path.
Maybe now is the time…
Omen to look out for – The Star
Look out for the number 17 or repeats of it- maybe as a date or time.
Look out for Aquarius folk (your opposite sign) who feel like home, like a dream come true, like a soul mate person.
Look out for an invitation, opening or opportunity to move closer to a long held dream of yours… something truly magical is brewing for you, a genuine “wish pass”.
Virgo
The world is opening up to youCredit: @inlovewithcameras
Love & Relationships – The Hierophant
In love readings, I often think of this card as the marriage card, so maybe something major is coming your way this August- a proposal, dare I say, certainly a token of commitment.
If you’re single, then a Taurean lover could be on the cards, someone with an important role and career, who you look up to.
If you’re happily attached already, then notice the dynamics at play between you, how one might lead in one aspect of the relationship vs another, how things are shared.
If you’re unhappily attached, then this card might be a nudge to seek outside counselling or advice.
Work & Purpose – King of Coins
Your season starts on the 22nd and Mercury moves into your sign on the 25th which is like a double whammy of excellent career cosmic energy backing your moves.
The King of Coins is about expertise, leadership, soft power, wealth and security.
Using your influence to maximise your stability where you are and maybe even reaching up to take on the next level of responsibility.
You were born to lead, you work so hard and know what’s best in most situations.
Don’t be shy or doubtful of your capability… now is the time to rise.
Omen to look out for – Queen of Wands
Look out for Fire sign women (Leo, Aries, Sagittarius) with a great idea, invitation, suggestion or collaboration for you, say YES.
Notice holiday, trip or event advertisements that look like a dream come true adventure… you only live once, maybe you’re seeing this for a reason.
Notice your experience of the emotion of excitement.
Where does it flare up?
Lean into this, breathe life into it, make it last longer, take excitement with you wherever you go and magic WILL happen.
Libra
Questions are answered and a new project begunCredit: @inlovewithcameras
Love & Relationships – Page of Coins
Relationships are constant work, constant sources of education and wisdom, other people teach us about life in all sorts of ways.
Pay attention to what you’ve learnt and feel like you ARE learning, through a close relationship, this August (especially with children).
And, if you’re struggling, ask for help or advice.
Everyone has their own vast stash of experience of knowledge, someone has the “playbook” you need to get through this patch. Live and learn.
Eclipse season can make things tense, the arrival of Virgo season on the 22nd will settle it all down again.
Work & Purpose – The Magician
A beautiful phase of creativity, innovation and talent building is beginning for you this August, with Venus being in your own sign from the 5th, you feel like you’re “coming home” somehow to your own gifts and strengths and are ready to make use of them.
This might involve taking a class or course, going solo in a freelancing way, taking on a creative sideline, inventing a new system or service in your job, showcasing a skill at work that no one realised you possessed.
It’s time to let them know what you can do, Libra.
Omen to look out for – Four of Wands
Look out for the number 4 or repeats of it.
Notice unspoken “cries for help” in the workplace that align with something you can do or take over.
And take it on, step in, sort it out, offer help, make it right.
Something major will come of it.
If you’re seeking promotion, notice role vacancies or upcoming ones (even if you have skill gap) and go for it, the signs of success are there!
Scorpio
Reality checks are creating a new foundation for success Credit: @inlovewithcameras
Love & Relationships – The Chariot
Mars moving into Cancer (the sign associated with The Chariot card) on the 10th is your signal to breathe life, energy and purpose into your relationship ambitions.
Who do you want? How do you wish things were? Where are you heading? What plans for the future need pinning down? What dreams and hopes do you share and can help each other with?
Make August a step outside of humdrum reality, with your partner / family / closest friends, and talk deeply and fully.
Be open, share your hopes and fears, ask questions, and create wonderful plans for a shared future together that will bring you closer together- especially around journeys, trips, holidays and home moves.
Work & Purpose – Four of Wands
Look out for the number 1 and repeats of it.
Let yourself be moved by love songs, poetry, sentimental tokens or gifts, thoughtful deeds, old photos or nostalgic places, authentic emotion on display.
You are being “warmed” by the Universe this August to fall in love or fall more deeply in love.
Bliss awaits, be open to it.
Omen to look out for – Ace of Cups
Mercury in Virgo, from the 25th, opens up a growth chapter for you.
Time to put long-laid plans and ideals into action around your career because you’re feeling like you’ve outgrown where you’re at and are ready for more!
The “more” might come from a promotion, a new task, greater scope or responsibility, a side line, a new course or skill.
Define where you want to grow and stretch and achieve something, and then ask for help and get on with manifesting that.
Virgo’s practical energy will help you get this going.
Sagittarius
New friends and new choices Credit: @inlovewithcameras
Love & Relationships – Ace of Coins
Apparently, 80% of love connections begin in friendship, so it’s advisable, if you’re looking for love, to actually look for friendship- it’s easier, lower risk, and means you’re having fun along the way getting to know folk and do new things.
August will bring you lots of new friends, and potentially ones that could turn into lifelong besties, soul mates and even “the one”.
Venus in Libra, from the 5th, makes your powers of attraction burn all the brighter. Use that charisma and get out there.
Be social and reap the rewards.
Work & Purpose – The Hanged Man
When things feel stagnated or blocked, sometimes you are better off surrendering to the situation and not even trying to change it.
Simply accept it and put your energies into something else… and, whilst you’re not looking, something will shift or unblock itself.
Because a guarantee in life is that nothing stays the same forever!
Don’t pour good energy after bad.
Don’t try and force something.
Let it be and go do something else… and things will change by the time Full Moon in Pisces rolls around at month end.
At that point, you will understand why this became a limbo.
Omen to look out for – Two of Wands
Look out for the number 2, or repeats of it.
Notice how many either / or situations, options, relationships or ultimatums there are in your realm, either real, your own, other people’s, or even fictional.
Notice how folk try to persuade you to their way of thinking.
And then let yourself get really clear on your OWN opinion.
You will make a choice this August that needs to come from your own heart and soul- no one else’s.
Capricorn
Clarity, commitment and challengeCredit: @inlovewithcameras
Love & Relationships – Knight of Coins
The end of Mercury Retrograde on the 5th opens the door for you to have the meaningful, important clarity conversations you’ve been wanting to have for a while.
You take your close relationships seriously and work hard on keeping them healthy, happy and upbeat.
Mercury moves into Leo on the 9th and you’re ready to express your true feelings and ask for theirs. Commitment is a major theme, across romantic, friendship and even work connections.
Knowing where you stand, so you know where to invest and prioritise, matters.
And you will get the answers you need. So, ask.
Work & Purpose – Strength
Onwards and upwards, Cap! The start of Virgo season on the 22nd signals a phase of challenge and reward that excites you- maybe this is a course, a new target, a career ambition unfolding, or an application process for something wonderful.
Put your all into it.
Don’t have ANY doubt that you deserve the rewards and can do what’s necessary.
You have everything you need, now it’s time to showcase that, use your power, and push ahead.
What you’ve gone through in the past will help you, remind yourself of all you’ve already achieved.
Omen to look out for – Six of Coins
Look out for the number 6, or repeats of it.
Notice balance as a theme in your realm- be that via visuals, noise, objects and ornaments, your own physical sense of balance, relationship dynamics, lifestyle and taste.
How do you define balance?
Something is off-kilter and causing you strain but you’re yet to really NOTICE it… and this August, you will.
And you will then rectify it and everything will feel balanced once more.
Aquarius
Changes and welcome departures aheadCredit: @inlovewithcameras
Love & Relationships – Six of Swords
Eclipse season stirs up something within you that has been brewing for at least 6 months, and it relates to moving on from a commitment, relationship or role that has worn out its welcome, become a drudge, feels like it’s already over.
You just need to say it, do it, and cut the tie.
It won’t be hard, it’s already half-done, this is the final piece of clarity that will actually feel like relief.
We all have to prune our relationship realm sometimes.
This is one of those times.
No hesitation. Make the cut.
Work & Purpose – The Wheel of Fortune
Mars in Cancer, from the 10th, makes you reassess your ambitions and how close to your true heart’s desires and authentic selfhood they really are.
Career paths can meander.
Money can make us stray from our natural niche. Responsibility distorts our desires.
Step back and really, really look at what you’re doing.
If I told you that change was soon to come, would you really be that bothered?
I suspect not. In fact, it’d feel exciting and like an opportunity.
And it will be! From the Full Moon in Pisces at month end, expect a series of changes unfolding that could open new doors for you to return to what you authentically wanted to do in the first place!
A homecoming is coming…
Omen to look out for – Five of Cups
Look out for the number 5 or repeats of it.
Tune into the feelings of those around you, your closest 5 people, and “scan” them for sadness, grief, regret… those “sticky” emotions that can cling to folk and pull them down.
Can you help? Can you suggest a lovely treat or trip, sit with them in the storm, give help where you know it’s needed, be good company to lift their mood.
Notice those in need, and you’ll feel amazing for helping.
Pisces
People are noticing how amazing you areCredit: @inlovewithcameras
Love & Relationships – Ace of Coins
You are grounding and putting down roots with the folk you feel will be with you forever, or at least the foreseeable future.
Acquaintances, dalliances, shooting star attractions are all well and good, but you’re looking for the committed circle right now.
And eclipse season sees you wanting to make wonderful plans for the future together- buying houses, moving in, starting families, going on dream trips, learning something new together, seeing the country, starting a side line, becoming business partners.
Your dreams can come true WITH other people, and that’s wat you’re creating this August.
Work & Purpose – Three of Coins
The New Moon solar eclipse in Leo on the 12th will bring a welcome reminder of how valued and admired you are by bosses, colleagues, clients or suppliers.
You build great relationships, you wield a tremendous amount of “soft power”, and your skills are undeniable and unique.
Revel in this glow.
Then use it to broker new rewards, advances, and promotions for yourself.
Flow along with the goodwill and get something tangible from it.
This is how you use who you know, vs what you know.
Omen to look out for – The Fool
Look out for Aquarians, new technology, 000 digits, and high drops, cliff edges, overhangs that give you a little bit of vertigo.
These omens will show up when a massive, amazing, but unexpected (and easily dismissed) opportunity is presented to you.
Don’t default to saying no. Say yes and work out HOW you’ll do it later!
This is a moment of fate coming to get you to do something new.
