Your weekly horoscope is here. In the run-up to another Mercury retrograde, we’re deep in the pre-retro-shade segment called the setup. This setup scenario will revisit during the retrograde, then stand for correction during the final pass. That could be in your communications or the thing that ‘once you see it, you can’t unsee it.’ Consciousness-raising through reflection and sharing our stories is vital for empowerment because we’re united when we stand together. And maybe that’s what this retrograde is about. Chiron is the planet known as the wounded healer, currently in Aries and bringing up all manner of wounding around independence, assertiveness, and brilliant leading ladies. As it heads into its annual retrograde on Friday, this is a chance to review where you could take your foot off the brake, throw out the outdated playbook, and lead the charge. It’s Leo season: be bold, be determined, and most of all, be proud of what makes you, you!

Weekly Horoscope: July 28 to August 3, 2024

Most people are guilty of doing it at least once in their lives, many people do it by accident, some do it because they find it fun, and others do it for reasons like honoring loved ones.

Have you ever been so good at just one thing that you became an American hero? Introducing: Pommel Horse Guy. Pommel Horse Guy—real name Stephen Nedoroscik—is a specialist on the USA men’s gymnastics team, so his one job at the 2024 Paris Olympics was to absolutely kill it on the pommel horse. The rest of the time, Nedoroscik had nothing to do but nap, for which he became an instant internet celebrity before he even approached his signature event. (It was reported elsewhere that he was meditating, to which I say, tom-ay-to, tom-ah-to.)
