The pressure continues to ease this week as the focus shifts from “getting it done” to “making life easier”. It’s a welcome change that should not only soften the collective angst, but smooth any saltiness you’re feeling in your own relationships. Next weekend looks amazing for having important, productive conversations, but before we get there, a speedbump (3 September AEST, 2 September GMT) could leave you feeling a bit blah or confused. Trust the lethargy will pass quickly. If you can, give yourself permission to take a break from the hustle, even if it’s just for a day.

TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING

LEO AND LEO RISING
You’re dripping in charisma this week as Venus and Mercury make your way with words smooth like butter.

VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING
Tread gently towards the end of the week when confusion and irritation could make for a chaotic mix, especially in your closest relationships. On the weekend, a shift in perspective could ease a recurrent headache (literally or figuratively speaking) and make things feel a lot more manageable.
LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING
There’s a major shift in perspective this week which should bring clarity and balance, especially if you’ve been feeling a bit flat lately. Trust any sudden blahs will pass, and lighten up by prioritising fun, especially over the weekend.
SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING
A change in approach could help smooth out a problem that’s been causing issues at home.

Vulnerability isn’t easy, but will go a long way to help finding a solution.
SAGITTAIRUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING
A little bit of flatness or confusion at work could present a bit of a speedbump later in the week. Minimise the disruption by being extra intentional with your actions. Later in the week, a long-overdue conversation with a friend will help iron out an ongoing drama.
CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING

AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING
If you’ve been feeling a little wobbly lately (or this whole year), things should relax this week as Mercury lends a hand to soothe your anxiety. The overall vibe of cooperation will help shift and soften your perspective. Keep an eye on spending mid-week when cash could almost slip through your fingers.
PISCES AND PISCES RISING
A little bit of uncertainty could have a destabilising effect especially in your relationships, but any waves should subside reasonably quickly. Minimise the impact by being extra clear with your actions. If you’ve been feeling a bit flat, the weekend is ideal for confiding in someone – a problem shared is a problem halved.
