Are your visions of the future aligned with your current reality? The sun's journey through Leo has everything to do with tapping into your unique authenticity, and your Aug. 14 weekly horoscope is no exception. This week, in particular, be ready to reflect on what you've recently discovered about yourself and how you can continue reconnecting with your true identity.

And though the deconstructing process is never a walk in the park, there's hope in remembering the magnitude of your inner strength and the person you are when you come home to yourself. With this in mind — as well as last week's full moon in Aquarius — don't dismiss your sudden epiphanies and eureka moments.
The week will begin with the sun (ego, self-expression) making an opposition to Saturn retrograde in Aquarius (community, future visions), challenging us to discern between our core truth vs. the way we've been socially conditioned to show up for others. This could bring significant revelations around the parts of yourself you aren't owning. That same day, Mars will harmonize with powerhouse Pluto, which can be equally as penetrating as it is tremendously driven. This moment offers a great deal of passion and stamina — how will you cultivate that?
