You're Surrounded By Abundance In Your August 5 Weekly Horoscope

Ready yourself because the astrology is raging hot this week. In fact, the upcoming transits are what summer is all about. With Leo season underway, you're already soaking up some majorly creative, romantic, and glamorous energy. Whatever you're currently experiencing is only bound to be amplified even further and your August 5, 2019 weekly horoscope has all the details.

When the sun forms a trine with expansive, optimistic, and growth-oriented Jupiter on Aug. 5, you'll find yourself overflowing with confidence and tapping into your spice for life. This is about letting go of your inhibitions and embracing the true extent of all that you are. Embrace the needs of your heart and let a hunger for substance lead the way. Remember, there's nothing you can't do if you set your mind to it, so use this positive energy to truly make something of yourself. When the sun forms a trine with Venus — planet of love and romance — this same abundance will surround your social life with chemistry. This is a beautiful week to pamper and beautify yourself, as well as heal your relationship wounds and fall head over heels for new crushes.

Once Jupiter retrograde comes to an end on Aug. 11, you'll have reached the end of a long journey inward. You've spent the last few months focusing on your internal growth and reserving your energy for yourself. Whether this means you've reached the end of a chapter or you're simply walking away with more insight about the person you want to be, it's time to let go of all your hard work and start saying "yes" to new opportunities. With Jupiter stationing direct, there is so much outward expansion on the way. However, Uranus — planet of erratic change and rebellion — stations retrograde on the same exact day, which launches the beginning of a new you. It's time to rediscover your individuality and set yourself free from attachments.

Leo season is receiving a boost when Mercury — planet of communication and intellectualism — joins the sun in this boisterous, unabashed, and colorful zodiac sign. Inspiration is calling your name and begging you to own your ideas. No one will ever know the real you unless you're vulnerable enough to open up and share all that you know.

So, what abundance awaits you, in particular? Here's what each zodiac sign can expect this week:
