Got money on the mind? You’re not alone. In a challenging economic climate, many of us are looking for ways to make our cash stretch further. The stars can help!
Whether you’re a thrifty Capricorn wondering if now is the time to make a cautious investment or two or an adventurous Sagittarius trying to maintain the motivation to save, your weekly wealth horoscope can point the way.
Aries: A Time for Expansion
As we go into the weekend and new week, this could be a time to expand your financial horizons, Aries. If you’ve had a new venture in mind or there’s a potentially lucrative opportunity on the table, any challenges around these things could be well worth the hassle.
One thing to be mindful of: read the fine print carefully, and be sure to find out everything about this potential opportunity to ensure it’s the right one for you. After all, another could be just around the corner!
Taurus: Taking it Slow
Taurus: this whole month is one for taking it slowly. This would usually suit the Bull just fine, but the Mercury retrograde and first quarter moon could have you feeling uncharacteristically fidgety for action right now.
Resist unnecessary action and take the opportunity for some well-deserved rest and relaxation this week and beyond. This way, your energy is conserved and you’ll be much more productive – and profitable – when September rolls around.
Gemini: Entrepreneurial Spirit
The next week will see Geminis feeling in an entrepreneurial state of mind and now could be the ideal time to get a business idea off the ground or monetize that side hustle.
However, it’s more important than ever right now to budget carefully and stick to this financial plan meticulously. You may feel a few urges to splash the cash spontaneously; keep the focus on your long-term goals to resist this temptation.
Cancer: Coming Out of Your Shell
July was a super busy time for Cancers, and you can give yourself a big pat on the shell for getting your finances in order and your ducks in a row. Next week may see a work slow down which could cause anxiety, but it’s important not to stress.
If things are a little slower than usual, or orders aren’t coming in as thick and fast as usual, stay positive, get creative, and use this opportunity to build your strength and prepare for things to get busy again soon.
Leo: On Top of the World
This really is your month in every way, Leo – you’ll be on top of the world in both your professional and personal life! You’ll shine brighter at work than ever before, and your skills, ambition, and charisma could catch the eyes of the powers on high.
Luck is truly on your side through all of August, Leo, so keep your eyes open for potentially lucrative opportunities, and make the most of your famed instinct for the ability to sniff out a great deal!
Virgo: Knowing Your Value
This next week the stars align for you, Virgo, when it comes to realizing your financial goals. It’s the optimum moment to ask your boss for a raise if this is something you’ve been considering. This may surprise you, but you are recognized as an extremely valuable member of the team.
If you’ve been feeling particularly stressed about money and work recently, Virgo, it’s vital to find ways to chill out and marshall your forces. Getting out of your head for a while could serve you well, whether through a fun night out with friends or a new mindfulness practice.
Libra: Expanding Horizons
Next week you may have the chance to travel for business or work with a new person or individual from overseas. If so, this could be well worth exploring as it offers opportunities for new friendships and business connections.
Even if travel isn’t on the cards for you, Libra, it’s a great time to expand your horizons. This could be in the form of taking a career-boosting course, expanding your networking efforts, or starting down the path to a new qualification.
Scorpio: Delays are Only Temporary
Next week will see Mercury retrograde move into your tenth house, Scorpio, which may result in delays to a professional project or opportunity that had been looking promisingly lucrative.
Try not to fret. All the signs are being impacted by this retrograde, but it really is only a temporary situation. Only take intentional, purposeful action, and be prepared to sit tight and be patient a little longer.
Sagittarius: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Adventurous Sagittarius may feel just fine about going it alone, but working closely with others is likely to be the key to successful career moves as we go into the next week. Your innate optimism will serve you particularly well right now, too.
In terms of your finances, you may be faced with temptations to splurge unnecessarily this month or take professional shortcuts to save money. Think carefully before doing this. Your actions need to align with your highest self and goals for ultimate happiness and success.
Capricorn: Financial Tensions Have a Purpose
There is likely to be some tension around your finances this weekend and into next week, Capricorn, and a feeling of “something’s got to give.” This isn’t a negative thing, but an opportunity to make meaningful and long-term change.
If a frustrating delay has cropped up in a project or a contract negotiation has gone south, stay focused on whether the situation is salvageable, and what can be learned from it. The answers may surprise you.
Aquarius: Bring Your Creativity to the Fore
Your wonderful out-of-the-box, blue-sky thinking could be the key to taking the next step in your career next week, Aquarius: colleagues and bosses will be receptive to your unique ideas and perspectives. A creative freelancing endeavor could also take off.
There may be a few financial pitfalls as the month progresses for the Water Bearer, and now probably isn’t the best time to gamble on a risky venture. And don’t forget to prioritize your health and wellness to avoid burnout.
Pisces: Swimming Towards Success
If you’ve been working your way towards a financial or career goal for a while, now’s the time for the last push, Pisces. Throw yourself into your work or project with unwavering dedication, and a breakthrough is likely to present itself, which could potentially have a significantly positive effect on your life.
Try to focus on creating a savings goal this weekend, and be mindful of unnecessary spending. It’s possibly not the right time for speculative ventures, which should be approached with extreme caution: know exactly what you’re signing up for is the message.
