Now that the August partial solar eclipse is behind us, it’s time to set our focus on the next astrological event to look forward to: the August full moon, which is rising on Aug. 26. As you might already know, a full moon is known for affecting people’s moods and actions in a really interesting way, and this can change depending on your zodiac sign. So what does the August full moon mean for your sign? It’s a horoscope you’ll probably want to be informed about. In general, a full moon is thought of as the end of one moon cycle. A full moon happens whenever the sun is opposite…

Do you ever feel like you just don’t belong? Well, think again. Your soul is energy and this same energy is what creates everyone and everything in this Universe. When broken down to purely an energetic state, we are all connected and we are all one. We are all here because we have a purpose to be here and a reason and motivation for existing. Many wise sages over the years have said that Earth is simply a playground where we come to learn things and experience life in the material form. On Earth we can indulge in physical and material pleasures, and learn what it means to feel love,…

Sometimes it feels like astrology only exists to bring you bad, anxiety-inducing news. We swear, the cosmos can be nice sometimes — just not right now or next week, for that matter, and it’s mostly due to Mars. If there’s one retrograde that’s defined this summer of retrogrades, it’s the backspin that the red planet of anger, action, and altercation, entered back on June 26. Since then, you may have found it especially difficult to make much progress on your plans. You might even be struggling to express your anger without totally blowing up at an innocent party. Such is the way of Mars retrograde: It shows up to remind…

If you’re sensitive to planetary motion, you’ve probably been counting down the days, wondering when Mercury retrograde ends this summer — and I don’t blame you. When you’re particularly affected by retrogrades, your entire life can feel like it’s stuck in the mud, especially when it’s Mercury that appears to be going backward. During this time, everything is more complicated than it should be; energy is harder to muster, your perception is easily clouded by a kind of mental pollution, and tasks that are typically simple are suddenly endlessly complex. And no matter how hard you try to wear a positive attitude when interacting with friends or coworkers, you can’t…

While every sign can be passionate and sensual in their own way, there are six zodiac signs that are the most passionate according to astrologers — especially behind closed doors. These are the folks who you may or may not pinpoint as the type to be super sensual or extra passionate with their partners. But they totally can be. And this has a lot to do with their ruling planets. “Each [sign] has its own ruling planet and placement within the zodiac. Also, each sign has its own particular love language and expression of sexuality,” professional astrologer Rachel Lang tells Bustle. “In addition to the sun sign, the placement of…

After the partial solar eclipse this past Saturday, this week will still, unfortunately, bring some miscommunication with the loved ones in our lives. Thankfully, it’s the last week (woo hoo!) of Mercury Retrograde, so that’s something to look forward to. On the bright side, this weekend is shaping up to be a little calmer — issues will be resolved, and the love life will definitely be on the upswing with Mercury sextile Venus and the ending of Mercury Retrograde, which will officially occur on Sunday. Check out what this week has in store for you, courtesy of astrologer Katy Ibur. Aries (March 21-April 20) This week will bring some confusion…

Built over 1000 metres from the ground, the new Golden Bridge is nestled between the central mountains of Vietnam, and is held up by two giant hands on either side of the bridge, giving it the popular title – “God’s Hands”. Called ‘Cau Vang’ in Vietnamese, the Golden Bridge near Danang City has become a major tourist attraction since its opening in June, with many tourists taking an interest in walking across the elevated bridge and taking pictures to share their experience. The bridge was designed by Vietnamese architect Vu Viet Anh, who stated that the intention of the bridge was to give people a great view of the cliff…

I know that this summer has been the furthest thing from easy, at least astrologically speaking, and you’re probably about to bite my head off at the mere mention of more cosmic chaos. But, I promise you that things are looking up, because as of Aug. 19, 2018, Mercury will officially be out of retrograde. See? The universe wants to throw us a bone. However, we still have one week left of its stress, which is why it should come as no surprise that as of August 13, 2018, these zodiac signs will have the worst week: Gemini, Virgo, and Scorpio. If your rising sign happens to be in any…

Everyone, take a deep breath and exhale all that stress you’ve been carrying, because as of this week, a huge chunk of the cosmic chaos will come to an end. If you’ve been feeling weighed down by so many heavy celestial bodies rolling backward, then I’m here to alleviate your load when I say that Mercury will finally begin moving direct as of Aug. 19. Since Mercury is possibly the most annoying retrograde experience of all, this will sweep your entire world with peace and calm. And luckily, we’ve still got a few weeks of gilded and sparkling Leo season left, so there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be living…
