This week we will be preparing for an important event – the full moon on 19 August. For many people, this period is going to be quite stressful, and for some, even fatal. The full moon will be a time for reassessment, allowing you to evaluate how far you have come since the beginning of the year and what problems need to be solved. At the beginning of February, during the Aquarius New Moon, everyone made plans and made wishes, and now it’s time to assess progress.
The coming week will be full of turning points caused by the upcoming full moon, which is characterised by challenging astrological aspects. It’s a time when it may seem more appropriate to tear down the old and create something new than to keep patching up and fixing existing problems.
The full moon in Aquarius, with its unharmonious aspects to all your personal planets, will increase the pressure of external circumstances that will require you to change and adapt. These external forces can come into conflict with our personal ambitions and plans, creating tension and the need to compromise.
You will find yourself at a crossroads: on the one hand, you will be pushed to take actions that you do not like, and on the other hand, you will feel the urge to stick to your goals and desires. The week will challenge our ability to adapt and find a balance between external pressure and internal aspirations. For a more detailed horoscope for each day, read the article Komersant ukrainskyi
Horoscope for Monday, 12 August
Monday will bring you favourable opportunities to resolve important issues. The Moon will be in the sign of Scorpio and will form a harmonious aspect with Saturn. This will create an atmosphere that will make the day feel much easier than a typical Monday. You will find that important tasks are solved with minimal effort and in a positive way.
In the evening, the Moon will move into Sagittarius and square the Sun, which may highlight some of the shortcomings of decisions made during the New Moon on 4 August. These aspects will emphasise the need to reconsider and correct previous actions. You may realise that you were previously focused on the small details, without paying attention to the broader perspective.
Today requires you to rise above the current circumstances and look at the situation from a higher height and from a different angle. This will help you better understand what is going on in your life and how you can adapt to new challenges. If the current situation seems difficult, remember that it will improve over time.
Horoscope for Tuesday, 13 August
On Tuesday, the Moon continues its transit through Sagittarius, highlighting important points and preparing you for the full moon on 19 August. During this period, you may already feel the impact of the Full Moon as you realise that it’s easier to tear down outdated structures than to constantly patch them up, as this will save not only resources but also nerves.
Today, the Moon is forming two bisextiles – powerful and harmonious aspects that offer enormous potential for positive change. These aspects, with the participation of distant planets, create the conditions for making the right decisions and finding new ways.
In the afternoon, the Moon in Sagittarius squares Mercury retrograde, which will require you to be patient and think outside the box. At this time, you may face the consequences of your own mistakes made earlier. You may need to revisit old projects and correct existing deficiencies or visit places where your presence is needed to solve problems.
Be prepared to switch between tasks and pay attention to aspects that may have slipped through your fingers. The day will require flexibility and the ability to adapt to change, but in the end, this will lead to a strengthening of your position and improved results.
Horoscope for Wednesday, 14 August
Wednesday promises to be a very dynamic day, full of energy and information. This is due to the conjunction of Mars and Jupiter in the sign of Gemini. Mars symbolises the energy of aggression and action, while Jupiter amplifies it all. The result is a powerful flow of information that can literally tear you apart.
The Moon in Sagittarius, which forms a big square – one of the most difficult astrological configurations – adds to the complexity of this day. During this period, important questions arise about where and with whom to move on, as well as which path to take. You may be thinking about changing jobs, breaking up a relationship, or launching a new project. Each of these steps has its own risks and requires you to think carefully.
Today, you may be facing a lack of confidence in your actions. The decisions you make will affect not only your life, but also your environment, so it is important to consider all aspects and weigh all possible consequences.
Energy and information are the key themes of this day. Try to use them wisely to strengthen your position and move in the direction you have chosen. Tune in to the positive and remember that external circumstances are just a small part of your life that you cannot influence.
Horoscope for Thursday, 15 August
On Thursday, Mercury retrograde moves from Virgo to Leo, symbolising a return to ambitious plans and projects. During this period, you may want to express yourself more vividly and expressively using images and metaphors. It’s a good time to present yourself and your ideas, especially those that you’ve been putting off due to lack of courage.
The day will be quite busy and will pass quickly, so try to make the most of it to implement your creative ideas. Returning to projects you’ve put off can bring you success, especially if you approach them with confidence and determination.
However, be careful in the evening, especially when choosing your food. Exotic foods can cause unwanted reactions, possibly even poisoning.
You may also feel a premonition of trouble, which may make you want to retire and think about your future. Don’t ignore your emotions – try to understand their causes and find ways to overcome them.
Friday 16 August Horoscope
Due to the square between Mars and Saturn, Friday will be characterised by tense astrological aspects. Mars symbolises action and aggression, while Saturn is associated with law, order, and authority. This can lead to conflicts with superiors, government agencies, or even parents.
You may encounter obstacles on the way to your goals, but you will feel a strong desire to overcome them, despite all the difficulties. Be careful, as such circumstances can lead to injuries or breakdowns of equipment and vehicles. There may also be delays or refusals to process documents in official institutions.
In the late afternoon, the Moon, in the sign of Capricorn, will make a harmonious aspect to Venus. This favourable combination will help restore logical thinking and common sense, which will help stabilise the situation and balance the emotional background. Use the evening to reflect on your current circumstances and look for solutions that will help you overcome the difficulties you face.
Saturday horoscope for 17 August
Saturday promises to be a day that can be spent relatively calmly, despite the tension caused by the approaching full moon. The Moon is in a series of harmonious aspects: sextile Saturn, trine Uranus, and sextile Neptune. These aspects promote stability and the possibility of constructive change, as well as the development of intuition and creativity.
However, it should be borne in mind that the incoming information, which may not always be pleasant, may increase overall nervous tension. It is important to remain calm and not give in to excessive anxiety. Try to use this day to complete the work you have started and strengthen your position.
Saturday will be a day to prepare for the potential challenges that Sunday has in store for us. Relax and take the opportunity to spend time with loved ones or do things that bring you pleasure and joy.
Horoscope for Sunday, 18 August
On Sunday, the Moon in Aquarius conjuncts Pluto, which can create a sense of pressure from others. This is a time when you’ll have to make a decision: give in to influence or stand your ground. It is important to remember that the choice is yours and it is you who determines how you respond to external circumstances.
On the same day, Mercury retrograde square Uranus again. The first time this aspect occurred was on 21 July, and now you have the opportunity to return to those events, correct mistakes and reconsider your decisions. In July, this could have been due to financial issues, equipment breakdowns, or broken agreements. Now you have a chance to find a new solution and achieve a positive result before the next square on 7 September.
With the full moon approaching, managing your emotions will be a key challenge. You may feel a sense of injustice, but it’s important to remember that you are the only one in control of your life and emotions. Make informed decisions about your future path, regardless of any external influences.
