Your Weekly Work Horoscope for The Week of August 07, 2023 - Astrology.com (2024)

Aries

There are many ways to exert force. The subtle approach is the right one on Monday. Be steady. Be unflappable. Be tactful. Even as soon as Tuesday you will see the benefits of being patient. On Wednesday and Thursday, communication is rapid. You won't excel naturally in the thinking-before-speaking department, so be careful. A hint: sending a short and sweet response to an email is far better than no response at all. Friday is an emotional day for reasons that have nothing to do with work, but it's also incredibly productive. Family, romance, and food consume your weekend.

Taurus

Flattery, happiness and (bizarrely) romance figure into the beginning of your week at work. Everything that's in play at the office may not be immediately evident, but you're emotionally engaged in a way you haven't been in a while. Work is thrilling. Wednesday and Thursday see you caught up in what you're doing and a bit out of character, less composed than usual, getting ahead of yourself, being incautious. But Friday returns you to earth. You end the week secure and content and talking about your life and your future among optimistic coworkers and friends.

Gemini

There is no need for fireworks on Monday. Why run the risk of something catching fire? You have enough obstacles to contend with as it is. Be strong and focused. Shrug off chattering busybodies on Tuesday and remember to follow up with key allies on Wednesday. Thursday is a great day full of strangers. You never know what you're going to learn from a stranger, but that's what you love about them. But Friday is tense, mostly because money is tight and someone's being stubborn. Still, you'll achieve a lot. Plus, Sunday is a seriously fun day.

Cancer

The fire in your eyes has everyone scratching their heads on Monday. In a good way. You're tossing out tons of totally weird but brilliant ideas. Where are they coming from? You have no idea. Anyway, it's fun to be the life of the office. Midweek, you're feeling extra comfy in your shoes and you're doing all kinds of wild tricks. As much as breaking out of your shell is valuable to the company, don't flake on your responsibilities on Thursday. Don't miss things because there's a lot to be done. Friday is charged: emotions are running high and you have energy for anything. Be outrageous this weekend.

Leo

You are most likely at odds with your boss at the beginning of the week. As much as you feel you're in the right, letting the tension escalate into a battle might not be the best move. A better move? Disengage. You're constantly lavished with praise and recognition these days, no need to be greedy. A concession here or there won't do you any harm in the long run. But for your own sake get out of work soon as you can on Thursday and spend the evening with friends. Friday too. And this weekend. Glory and celebrity figure this weekend. You are at the top of your powers.

Virgo

The week begins with a series of small breakthroughs. The soul-searching you're doing in your personal life translates into the work realm in the form of philosophical approaches to practical problems. Toward the middle of the week, everyone recognizes that you are the person with answers. Do your best to help everyone out and communicate clearly. At the end of the week, you may be overwhelmed by the office's demands on your time and mental energy, but, frankly, you'll also be flattered. Your weekend can be great, especially Sunday.

Libra

Donuts? Not a bad idea on Monday. Bringing a box of them into work would certainly brighten up the office. Just be careful you don't overindulge yourself. On Tuesday, no amount of powdered sugar is going to cover up all the unusual interpersonal conflict in the office, but on Wednesday and Thursday, the energy is returned to something more like normal and you'll find you get a lot done. The only way to get anything done on Friday, though, is to be extra disciplined. Give your all and then you won't feel guilty about having a strolling-through-a-park kind of weekend.

Scorpio

If you are stubborn at the start of the week, there's a good chance you're going to get ambushed. So be open to compromise right off the bat. What's wrong with everyone being happy? Opposition and antagonism can be healthy, but Tuesday threatens to devolve into outright havoc. Be a force of calm reason. Wednesday and Thursday will be like days after a storm: dead still. Friday is a banner day at work because you're getting what you want and you're happy about how things are trending. You sail into the weekend on dreams of overseas travel.

Sagittarius

Monday is a day for smaller issues. Get out a microscope. The tiniest thing, as you've seen recently, can have major implications. If you're feeling antsy and unsure about work on Tuesday, do something physical after work. Something that will leave you wiped out and clear-headed. Wednesday and Thursday are somewhat blank days around the office (and not the time to strike deals with others) but Friday will be a throw-noodles-against-the-ceiling-and-see-if-they-stick kind of day, a weird day full of odd questions and crazy energy. Enjoy it. Good luck comes your way Sunday.

Capricorn

Think about how the great artists and composers did what they did. Indulge in some creativity at work on Monday and Tuesday to get at the heart of what you're trying to accomplish. Remain goal oriented, even through Wednesday, when flighty people will be disappointing you left and right, and Thursday, when incessant casual chatter threatens to distract you all day long. Clarity of thought is essential right now. On Friday, change is in the air. Deal directly with everything that comes your way and prepare for the likelihood that others are going to overreact. Not you, though. You are a rock.

Aquarius

While some things change, others stay the same. It's amazing the patterns that develop over time. A bunch of data lands on your desk on Monday or Tuesday. Take a close look at it all, with special attention to the statistical peculiarities. Discovery and learning figure strongly this week, although on Wednesday you'll be so distracted by a discovery of sorts in your love life that everything work related goes out the window. Ditto Thursday. But Friday returns you to work committed to getting things done. Toward that end, spend less time thinking and more time doing. This weekend: more romance.

Pisces

Knowledge and numbers are useful to a point, but they're nearly worthless on Monday and Tuesday. You are functioning on a highly intuitive level in every area of your life, and work is no different. Wednesday and Thursday are particularly confusing days (work is both overwhelming and uninteresting), and instead of going out in the evening you might want to hole up at home with a book of poetry and a home-cooked meal. That's the mood you'll be in. All of that changes on Friday, an expansive, rewarding day both at work and in your personal life. Saturday will be the same.
