The Sun blazing near zenith early in the week emboldens you, but the retrograde drag from Saturn adds ballast you can’t quite shake. A Mercury–Uranus friction midweek threatens to make you the loudest person in the room – whether you’re right or not. By Friday, Venus trines the Galactic Centre over your horizon, gifting you a rare moment of clarity on relationships or creative work. This week favours measured statements over grand declarations, but try telling that to a Leo in August, as it is your birthday month!
