The week of August 3-9 will be eventful: some days will be favorable for new projects, job opportunities, studies, and important negotiations, while on others it is better to avoid rushing into decisions, major purchases, or changes in personal life. At the end of the week, the eclipse corridor will begin, requiring extra caution.
Astrologer Kateryna Soloviova prepared a weekly forecast and revealed which dates will be the most favorable and when it is better to slow down.
August 3
Monday was considered unfavorable for new beginnings, important decisions, visiting a hairdresser, as well as surgical and dental procedures.
Unexpected situations could await those working in politics, sports, science, technology, education, and business.
August 4
Most of the day will be favorable for new ventures, important decisions, employment, preparing documents, starting studies, and long-distance travel.
Things may go especially well for entrepreneurs, organizers, politicians, reformers, producers, and show business representatives. This is an active day suitable for bold steps, creative changes, and persistent progress toward goals.
The exception will be the period from 3:27 PM to 5:13 PM Kyiv time. During this time, the Moon will be in the so-called destructive degree of Aries, so important matters are better postponed.
According to Solovyova, the biggest challenges will be pride, fear, and an inability to control emotions in stressful situations.
August 5
This will be one of the most favorable days of August for new beginnings and important decisions.
It is a good time for negotiations, signing contracts, purchasing equipment, business trips, exams, major payments, starting education, and beginning a new job. The day is also suitable for surgical and dental procedures and changing hairstyles.
At the same time, expensive purchases are better postponed. It is worth paying close attention to personal belongings and information, as gossip, misinformation, deception, or fraud may occur.
Heightened intuition and intellectual activity will help find a new solution to a problem that has been troubling you for a long time.
August 6
The day is not suitable for new projects, important decisions, travel, international cooperation, legal matters, studies, or issues related to foreign countries.
Due to a lunar phase change, inner tension may increase. The astrologer advises against overestimating your abilities, giving in to anger, seeking revenge, negative emotions, or risky behavior.
It is better to finish existing tasks, organize your home, and stay physically active, as a sedentary lifestyle will be especially undesirable on this day.
In the evening, Venus will enter Libra. However, from 10:13 PM on August 6 to 10:02 PM on August 7, it will be in a destructive degree, so matters related to finances, love, partnerships, beauty, and creativity should be postponed.
August 7
This is not the best day for major financial transactions, getting married, new acquaintances, business registration, loans, expensive purchases, changing your appearance, or renovations.
The astrologer also advises against trying new cosmetic procedures or unfamiliar foods.
However, the day is favorable for creativity. You can attend a concert, theater, or museum, engage in music, dancing, painting, writing poetry, or any activity that helps you express yourself.
Until 10:02 PM, Venus will remain in the destructive degree of Libra, so it is better not to rush into final conclusions regarding relationships and financial matters.
August 8
According to Solovyova, this will be the last favorable day of August for starting new projects and making important decisions.
The date is suitable for construction, family matters, household tasks, changing hairstyles, as well as surgical and dental procedures.
Teamwork will be especially successful. Joint efforts will help overcome difficult tasks faster and achieve the desired results.
August 9
On Sunday, the eclipse corridor will begin, so new ventures and serious decisions are better postponed.
The day is not suitable for weddings, romantic dates, public appearances, gambling, projects involving children, or surgical and dental procedures.
The astrologer warns of an increased risk of theft. It is also worth limiting unnecessary conversations, as they may drain your energy. Communication is best limited to people who inspire trust and inner sympathy.
From 8:27 AM to 10:45 AM, the Moon will be void of course. During this period, it is better not to start anything important, make changes, buy things, or rely on new offers.
For restoring energy, massage, sauna, a bathhouse, and quiet rest are recommended.
