Hi loves 💫 Welcome back to your weekly horoscope from make:D — a Korean sustainable bag studio that reads the stars a little differently. Every week we pair your sign with a Korean proverb of the week, a lucky color, and a soft nudge for the days ahead.
Last week filled everything up. This week you get to decide what you’re actually carrying forward. The last quarter moon lands in Taurus on August 6, Venus moves into Libra the same day, and the Leo solar eclipse arrives August 12 — so consider these seven days the packing-and-sorting stretch right before a very big door opens. 🌗
This Week’s Cosmic Weather
A last quarter moon is the exhale of the lunar cycle: less starting, more releasing. This one falls in Taurus, the sign that hates letting go of anything, which is exactly why it’s useful — one thing you’ve been gripping is going to feel noticeably heavy this week.
It doesn’t arrive alone. On August 3, Chiron stations retrograde at the very first degree of Taurus, and Chiron is the “old tender spot” point, so something you filed away a while ago may quietly resurface — not to hurt you, but because you can finally look at it. Then on August 6, Venus leaves Virgo and comes home to Libra, its own sign, resetting how you do people, taste, and beauty for the next few weeks. The same day, the Sun trines Saturn in Aries — the aspect that rewards the slow, unglamorous work nobody clapped for.
Meanwhile the Sun and Jupiter are both still in Leo, so last week’s open doors haven’t closed; Mercury finishes its long run through Cancer and slips into Leo on August 9, moving your words from private to out loud; and Mars wraps its final stretch in Gemini. With Saturn, Neptune and Pluto all retrograde, the whole month leans toward review rather than launch. Clear the desk — the Leo eclipse on August 12 wants space. ✨
The 12 Signs — August 3 – 9, 2026
♈ Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
🇰🇷 “묵은 장이 국물 맛을 낸다” — “It’s the long-aged soybean paste that gives the broth its flavor.”
Saturn is sitting in your sign and gets a smooth trine from the Sun on Friday, Aries — which is the universe’s way of saying the slow thing worked. Overdue credit lands, or preparation you did months ago suddenly becomes the exact thing that’s needed. This is not a week for starting from scratch; it’s a week for opening the jar you already set aside. Around Friday, you’ll hear your quiet work come up in someone else’s sentence.

- ⚠️ Watch out: Don’t scrap your method just because results are arriving slowly
- 🧘 Mindset: Slow fermentation is a skill, not a delay
♉ Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
🇰🇷 “우물은 바닥을 봐야 물길을 안다” — “You only learn where a well’s water comes from once you can see the bottom.”
Two things land in your sign this week, Taurus: Chiron stations retrograde at your opening degree on Monday, and the last quarter moon arrives on Thursday. Translation: an old feeling you’d tucked away comes back into view. It’s resurfacing because you’re steadier now, not because you’re going backwards. Seeing the bottom doesn’t mean the well ran dry. By Thursday, you understand something about yourself that you couldn’t have named a year ago.
- 🎨 Lucky color: Olive green · 📅 Lucky day: Thursday
- ⚠️ Watch out: Don’t force a conclusion on the same day a feeling surfaces
- 🧘 Mindset: Something that stayed this long had a reason to
♊ Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
🇰🇷 “빗자루질은 마지막 한 뼘에서 먼지가 모인다” — “When you sweep, all the dust gathers in the last handspan.”
Mars finishes its long sprint through your sign this week, Gemini, and everything you kicked off during it comes due at once. Unsent replies, unfinished conversations, the half-built thing in your drafts folder — they all raise their hands the same week. Don’t open a new tab; spend these days sweeping. The pile always looks biggest right before it’s gone. Around Tuesday, watching items disappear off the list feels genuinely physical.
- 🎨 Lucky color: Lemon yellow · 📅 Lucky day: Tuesday
- ⚠️ Watch out: Don’t add new commitments to a closing-out week
- 🧘 Mindset: Finishing counts as much as creating
♋ Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
🇰🇷 “끓인 국은 한 김 식혀야 제맛이 든다” — “A soup only tastes right once it’s cooled a little.”
Mercury has been camped in your sign for weeks and finally moves on at the end of the weekend, Cancer — so the noise drops. A conversation or negotiation you’ve been managing since last month wraps up, and a few genuinely uneventful days appear. Don’t read the quiet as something going wrong; flavor settles in while things cool, not while they boil. By Sunday, a situation you were still worrying about has quietly resolved itself.
- 🎨 Lucky color: Pearl white · 📅 Lucky day: Sunday
- ⚠️ Watch out: Don’t poke a calm situation just because calm feels unfamiliar
- 🧘 Mindset: Resting is part of the process, not a pause in it
♌ Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
🇰🇷 “제 밭은 주인 발소리를 듣고 자란다” — “A field grows best hearing its owner’s footsteps.”
The Sun and Jupiter are still in your sign, and the solar eclipse next Wednesday lands in your sign too, Leo — the stage is already yours. So this week is about choosing, not chasing. Of everything that opened up last week, which one will you actually show up for regularly? Take the field you’ll walk every day, not the three that looked impressive. Around Wednesday, picking one makes the rest go quiet in the best way.
- 🎨 Lucky color: Champagne gold · 📅 Lucky day: Wednesday
- ⚠️ Watch out: Don’t cram decisions into this week that can wait for the eclipse
- 🧘 Mindset: Choosing well is its own talent
♍ Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
🇰🇷 “서랍은 다 비워야 안쪽이 보인다” — “You can’t see the back of a drawer until you’ve emptied it.”
Venus has been touring your sign, softening everything — and on Friday it leaves, Virgo. A season closes quietly. Something half-committed goes with it: a situationship, a habit, a taste you’ve outgrown. You don’t have to hold the door shut on it, and you don’t have to force it either. Empty one drawer on Monday and by late week you’ll see exactly what belongs in that space instead.
- 🎨 Lucky color: Ivory · 📅 Lucky day: Monday
- ⚠️ Watch out: Don’t put the thing you cleared out back in out of nostalgia
- 🧘 Mindset: An empty space isn’t a loss, it’s room
♎ Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 23)
🇰🇷 “새 그릇에 담으면 같은 나물도 달라 보인다” — “The same greens look different in a new bowl.”
Your ruler Venus comes home to Libra on Friday — your annual glow-up window opens. Suddenly you want the new haircut, the different silhouette, the color you don’t usually wear. You send the message first. You say yes to the thing you’d normally overthink. It doesn’t need to be a whole reinvention; changing the bowl is enough to make the same day taste new. From Friday on, people start telling you something about you looks different.
- 🎨 Lucky color: Rose pink · 📅 Lucky day: Friday
- ⚠️ Watch out: A fresh start is exciting — still, open one door at a time
- 🧘 Mindset: Wanting to change something is a signal, not a whim
♏ Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)
🇰🇷 “돌담은 어긋나게 놓아야 무너지지 않는다” — “A stone wall only holds if the stones are laid slightly off-line.”
Thursday’s last quarter moon rises directly opposite your sign, Scorpio, which puts everything you’ve been carrying alone on the scale. Someone suggests splitting a role you’d quietly taken over — or you’re the one finally asking for a hand. Their way won’t match yours exactly, and that’s the point; a wall stands because the stones interlock unevenly, not because they’re identical. Around Thursday, handing off one piece makes the whole thing run better.
- 🎨 Lucky color: Burgundy · 📅 Lucky day: Thursday
- ⚠️ Watch out: Don’t take the task back the moment it’s done differently
- 🧘 Mindset: Interlocking isn’t compromise — it’s structure
♐ Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)
🇰🇷 “길을 나서면 없던 갈림길도 생긴다” — “Once you set out, forks appear in the road that weren’t there before.”
Your ruler Jupiter keeps glowing in Leo while Mars makes its last push through Gemini, right across from you, Sag — stimulus from both directions. An offer arrives that wasn’t in the plan, or a route you’d settled on bends halfway through. Honestly? You’ll enjoy it. Just remember that more forks doesn’t mean you’re obligated to walk all of them. Around Saturday, the road you didn’t plan for turns out to be the wider one.
- 🎨 Lucky color: Turquoise blue · 📅 Lucky day: Saturday
- ⚠️ Watch out: Don’t attach money to a plan you made on impulse
- 🧘 Mindset: The plan didn’t break — it got bigger
♑ Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
🇰🇷 “낡은 문틀은 비 온 뒤에야 어디가 틀어졌는지 보인다” — “You only see where an old door frame warped after the rain.”
Your ruler Saturn is retrograde and gets a supportive trine from the Sun on Friday, Cap — so a misalignment you’ve been living with becomes visible. Maybe it’s the order you do things in, maybe it’s a pattern in how you handle people. The instruction isn’t rebuild everything; it’s fix the one warped corner so the door closes properly again. Around Tuesday, a small adjustment brings a surprising amount of relief.
- 🎨 Lucky color: Espresso brown · 📅 Lucky day: Tuesday
- ⚠️ Watch out: Don’t turn one realization into a full life overhaul
- 🧘 Mindset: Spotting the warp is already half the repair
♒ Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
🇰🇷 “떡은 나눌수록 접시가 커진다” — “The more rice cake you share, the bigger the plate gets.”
Venus moving into fellow air sign Libra on Friday warms up your whole people-zone, Aquarius. Someone you’d lost the thread with reappears, or a kindness you handed out ages ago comes back in a completely different shape. You’ve never been one to keep score, which is exactly why it returns so easily. By Saturday, the space you thought you gave away turns out to have gotten bigger.
- 🎨 Lucky color: Lavender · 📅 Lucky day: Saturday
- ⚠️ Watch out: Don’t rush to repay a kindness just because receiving feels awkward
- 🧘 Mindset: Learning to receive is also part of the bond
♓ Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
🇰🇷 “장독은 뚜껑을 열어야 볕이 든다” — “Sunlight only reaches the jar once you lift the lid.”
Mercury finishes its long stretch through fellow water sign Cancer and steps into bright Leo at the end of the weekend, Pisces — and your inside voice finally gets some air. You say the thing you’ve been swallowing, or someone asks the right question and it just comes out. Waiting until you’ve composed the perfect sentence means another season goes by; open the lid and the light finds its own way in. Around Sunday, you’ll notice you sorted the feeling by saying it, not before.
- 🎨 Lucky color: Seafoam green · 📅 Lucky day: Sunday
- ⚠️ Watch out: Don’t judge a hard-won honest sentence by the first reaction to it
- 🧘 Mindset: Words organize you while you speak them, not beforehand

FAQ
What does the last quarter moon in Taurus on August 6 mean? The last quarter is the release point of the lunar cycle — the phase for finishing and letting go rather than launching. In Taurus, the sign most attached to comfort and continuity, it tends to spotlight the one thing you’ve been holding on to past its usefulness. It pairs with Chiron stationing retrograde at 0° Taurus on August 3, so old tender spots may resurface for review.
Why does Venus entering Libra matter? Venus rules Libra, so it’s the planet arriving in its own home sign on August 6 — a yearly reset for relationships, taste, and self-presentation. Libra feels it most directly as a glow-up window, and the other air signs (Gemini, Aquarius) get a warmer social season. It’s a good few weeks to change something about how you present yourself.
How is this horoscope written? We start from the week’s real astronomy — moon phases, planetary stations, sign ingresses — and translate it into a soft theme for each sign, paired with an original Korean proverb (food, nature, home). It’s built for reflection and fun, never fear — no doom, no health or money “predictions,” just a gentle nudge.
