If the past 18 months have offered nothing else, they\u2019ve been like an Olympic training in change management. This week we get a chance to test if the training is paying off. Courage, generosity and compassion are on our side to tackle things head on. It may not be without drama but shifting our perspective will help alleviate the angst.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"price-style\">EMMA VIDGEN IS AN ASTROLOGER AND MEDITATION TEACHER.

Spotting the silver lining amid the uncertainty this week is your #1 task this week. New perspectives or offers \u2013 especially around cash and fun \u2013 could change the way you approach creativity. If you feel yourself slipping into stuckness, let your imagination be your guide and prioritize play.<\/p>\n<h5>TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING<\/h5>\n<p>The astro weather this week brings the bigger story of 2021 to the foreground, shining a light on what you\u2019re meant to be mastering. It\u2019s not new, but the way you cope with it all could be. With the Sun and Mercury firing up your reserves of courage, trying a totally different approach to the same old issue could yield some very interesting results.<\/p>\n<h5>GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING<\/h5>\n<p>This week\u2019s wild astro weather gives you the chance to practice your pivot. When things change, stay supple and watch with curiosity what unfolds. Ask yourself, \u201cWhat is the lesson in all this? What little moment of wisdom can I take with me?\u201d Staying curious and philosophical about the circumstances will help manage any underlying fears.<\/p>\n<h5>CANCER AND CANCER RISING<\/h5>\n<p>There\u2019s some unexpected wisdom on offer this week\u2026 <em>if<\/em> you\u2019re willing to stay open to new perspectives. Resist your instinct to cling to what you\u2019ve always done and be open to friends and work contacts showing up in unexpected ways. They could inspire a totally new way of approaching a cash issue that\u2019s been weighing you down.<\/p>\n<h5>LEO AND LEO RISING<\/h5>\n<p>While things aren\u2019t as stead as you might like rn, there\u2019s some pretty interesting opportunities swirling around you this week\u2026<em>if<\/em> you\u2019re open to it. Unexpected news offers or changes at work could shift your whole outlook. It could be a new job or a new way of approaching an annoying co-worker. Stay open to possibility and see what happens.<\/p>\n<h5>VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING<\/h5>\n<p>Staying grounded amid the turbulence this week is your top priority this week. Despite the craziness, there are some intriguing insights to be had, but only if you slow down long enough to notice them. Do whatever you need to re-centre your energy, calm your nervous system and remind yourself: busy does not equal important.<\/p>\n<h5>LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING<\/h5>\n<p>If 2021 has taught you anything right now it\u2019s that plans \u2013 especially with friends \u2013 are bound to change. Staying supple and light when the goal posts move is essential to avoiding disappointment. A call or connection from out of the blue \u2013 especially around Tuesday\/Wednesday \u2013 could be the encouragement you\u2019ve been needing.<\/p>\n<h5>SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING<\/h5>\n<p>You know, at least objectively, that nothing changes if nothing changes. Your task for this week is to stop expecting a different outcome from the same tired, old approach. At work and in love, experiment with a different way of doing things. Loosen up and reserve judgement until you\u2019ve at least <em>tried <\/em>a different way.<\/p>\n<h5>SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING<\/h5>\n<p>There\u2019s change in the air this week, and thankfully you\u2019re wired to cope it better than most. The results may feel familiar (e.g., having to cancel plans) but how you respond on an emotional level is up to you. What is the deeper learning? Approaching the uncertainty as a lesson, rather than just a huge inconvenience, could prove seriously fruitful.<\/p>\n<h5>CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING<\/h5>\n<p>Can you release your tendency to try and take care of <em>everything<\/em> on your own? It\u2019s a big ask, but when plans go awry this week, consider how it might feel to share the burden. While the independence of your \u201cIf you want something done right, do it yourself,\u201d attitude is admirable, this week\u2019s stars call for a group effort. Try it and see what happens.<\/p>\n<h5>AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING<\/h5>\n<p>Carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders is Aquarius\u2019 signature style, but this week it\u2019s time to try something different. Making space to do something that lights you up does not mean you care any less. Laugh. Dance. Play. Be silly. No, it\u2019s definitely not your usual MO, but you\u2019re being served a stellar notice to at least give it a go this week.<\/p>\n<h5>PISCES AND PISCES RISING<\/h5>\n<p>The state of flux this week is unsettling, but it also offers a unique opportunity. With fire charging up the part of your chart connected to health and wellbeing, exercise is the magic bullet to any swirling anxiety. Whether it\u2019s cooking up a bunch of new, healthy recipes or trying a different workout, having agency over your body will help calm your nervous system.<\/p>\n<p><em>For a deeper dive into what to expect this week, take a listen to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/emma_vee\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=a81ebc9b-8f4f-4d75-b810-18d64b9292ce\" target=\"_blank\">Emma\u2019s forecast here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29212,"featured_media":31094,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[38,16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Horoscopes August 2 \u2013 8: It&#039;s Time To Test How Well You Manage Change<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The astro weather is telling you to focus on the things you can change, rather than ruminating on the things you cannot, says astrologer Emma Vidgen.
