Weekly horoscope August 4 to 11: one last time to get everything out

August is like that last drink on the terrace. You know you should really go home, but... you still order another round. This week, the stars are aligned for that last summer fling. Your friends are pulling out all the stops for that festival one last time, your holiday romance is still on your mind, your bank account is groaning under summer expenses, and at work, you hear the word “Q3” for the first time since June.

Whether you're packing your bags, recovering from your third summer party, or cautiously opening your inbox: this is what the stars are whispering to you this week.

Aries

(March 21 - April 19)

Friends & festivals: You are the festival. If someone manages to snag an extra ticket for a sold-out event at the last minute, it's you. Enjoy it, but also allow yourself a pajama day on Sunday.
Summer love: That spontaneous flirt during your vacation? It could unexpectedly turn serious. Saying you're not looking for anything? We thought so too.
Shopping & budget: You ordered something again “because it was on sale.” And that's true. But twenty items are still twenty items. Time to reassess what's already hanging in your closet.
Career: A colleague calls you with something ‘small’, but before you know it, you're back in project mode. Set your boundaries, unless you really feel like going all out.

Taurus

(20 April - 20 May)

Friends & festivals: A friend is more emotional than usual. You sense it immediately. Your strength lies in listening without judgment. She is more grateful to you than you think.
Summer love: You thought you were texting that holiday flame to keep it ‘fun’. Turns out you're the one waiting for the blue checkmark now. Ouch.
Shopping & budget: Luxury is appealing, even now. You have your eye on a pair of shoes you've been dreaming about for nights. Ask yourself this week: am I dreaming of them, or do I want them for Instagram?
Career: You're surprisingly focused this week. Use it! Schedule an important meeting or brainstorming session on Thursday – you'll be mentally sharp.

Gemini

(21 May - 20 June)

Friends & festivals: You feel like you have to participate in all your groups (study friends, work friends, festival squad…). Focus on quality this week, not quantity.
Summer love: You're flirting again. With someone from home. And from vacation. And someone on Instagram. Your heart says: choose. Your head says: why should I?
Shopping & budget: You're suffering from mid-summer sale FOMO. But you also know: what you buy this week, you won't wear again until 2026. Keep it smart.
Career: An unexpected opportunity is coming your way. It's not what you were looking for, but it could turn out surprisingly well. Be open to detours.

Lobster

(June 21 - July 22)

Friends & festivals: This week, you'd prefer to hang out with one good friend, a bottle of wine, and a starry sky. Big groups? No thanks.
Summer love: You're thinking a lot about someone who's no longer there. Not necessarily physically, but emotionally. Allow yourself to feel, but don't get lost in romantic daydreams.
Shopping & budget: You'd rather buy something small with a lot of meaning than a new pair of sunglasses that you don't really need. And that's exactly the right attitude this week.
Career: You feel that September is approaching. You're unconsciously already making plans, and that's okay. Start small. For example, by organizing your inbox. Sounds boring. Feels wonderful.

Leo

(July 23 - August 22)

Friends & festivals: Your birthday has just passed or is coming up, and you can feel it. You're full of fire, excitement, and plans. Enjoy that party, make that boomerang. You may shine.
Summer love: Someone is in love with you. And no, not with your photos. With you. It's wise not to downplay it.
Shopping & budget: Everything shiny catches your attention. But shine costs money. Try to choose impact over quantity this week.
Career: You secretly feel that drive again. Your head says “no”, your calendar says “let's prepare a pitch already”. Just sit down for a moment.

Virgo

(August 23 - September 22)

Friends & festivals: You are the organizer of the group this week. Whether you wanted to or not. Luckily, you secretly enjoy it.
Summer love: You'd rather keep your heart in your back pocket, but this week something or someone is creeping under your skin. Allow it. If necessary, with a disclaimer.
Shopping & budget: You're in ‘back to school’ mode (even if you've been working for years). You're buying practical things with a touch of flair. Perfect balance.
Career: You already have your to-do list ready while everyone else is still lounging by the pool. Use it, but also allow yourself the freedom of August.

Libra

(September 23 - October 22)

Friends & festivals: You've planned a reunion or girls' night and you've secretly been looking forward to it for a week. Everything revolves around atmosphere, clothing, memories. Enjoy.
Summer love: You just can't decide. Someone you've just met is nice, but your mind is still on someone from June. Time for a reality check.
Shopping & budget: You buy with your feelings, not with your head. And that can turn out well – as long as you don't buy everything that makes your heart race.
Career: You're thinking about a different direction, but it still feels vague. This week, you don't have to decide anything, just fantasize. Do that.

Scorpio

(October 23 - November 21)

Friends & festivals: You're being selective. One friend feels like she's draining your energy, while another gives you everything back. Follow that intuition.
Summer love: Someone is trying to win you over, but you're not in the mood for superficial games. Rightly so. You want depth or nothing.
Shopping & budget: You're buying something this week that no one else would dare to. And it looks fantastic on you. Budget? You'll think about that later.
Career: Someone appreciates your sharp eye more than you think. This week, you only need to be yourself to make an impression.

Sagittarius

(November 22 - December 21)

Friends & festivals: You are the sunshine of the group, even when it rains. This week, bring your people along in your enthusiasm – they need it.
Summer love: You feel like you need to let someone go, but you're not sure if you want to. Take the week to really feel it. Not just to think about it.
Shopping & budget: You'd love to buy a whole vacation wardrobe, but your suitcase is already full. Let it go. You already have enough style in your toes.
Career: Someone asks you to think along about a new idea. Do it, even if it feels ‘too early’. It sets something in motion.

Capricorn

(December 22 - January 19)

Friends & festivals: You've fallen for it again: “just a drink” turned into half an evening again. You complain, but secretly enjoy it to the fullest.
Summer love: You're open to a new connection, but only if it means something. Flirting just for the sake of flirting isn't your thing.
Shopping & budget: You have control. Until you see a pair of boots that scream autumn already. You buy them. And rightly so.
Career: You feel calmer when you have things under control. This week, you can already make an overview. No one says you have to hit the ground running right away.

Aquarius

(20 January - 18 February)

Friends & festivals: You have a conversation with a friend this week that you both didn't see coming – but it strengthens your bond.
Summer love: You are independent and you love it. But someone makes you curious enough to put that freedom on pause for a moment.
Shopping & budget: You shop vintage, sustainable, or eye-catching. This week you score something unexpected that is 100% you. Brilliant find.
Career: Someone mentions your name in a meeting. In a positive way. You have more influence than you realize.

Fish

(February 19 - March 20)

Friends & festivals: You let yourself be surprised this week. That friend you never talk to anymore invites you to something magical. Say yes.
Summer love: You are still swooning over something that may never become anything. But that's okay. Sometimes the dream is just as valuable as reality.
Shopping & budget: You buy something dreamy, maybe something you don't actually need, but that touches your soul. And that's okay.
Career: You are more creative this week than ever. Write down everything, even the ‘crazy’ ideas. In September, they will prove to be worth their weight in gold.
