You're being pulled in a beautiful direction and your horoscope for the week of August 29 to September 4 is bringing you a burst of motivating energy. Take this opportunity to generate some brilliant ideas and get organized as you prepare for whatever may be coming next, because the astrology of this week is actually the calm before the storm.

After all, Mercury is currently in the pre-retrograde shadow, which is beginning to bring your awareness to problems that need solving and the issues that need revisiting. And once Mercury stations retrograde next week, it could really slow down your pace and screw with some of your plans. However, as Mars—planet of drive and courage—forms a sextile with larger-than-life Jupiter on September 1, it will inspire you to keep moving forward, no matter what may be inhibiting your path of action. Believe in your ability to overcome any hurdle you're met with.

As Mercury in Libra forms an opposition with Jupiter in Aries on September 2, it will encourage you to embrace your boldest ideas and to set your mind on your loftiest goals. However, it's important to be realistic about what it takes to get there, especially if you're making promises you can't keep. Your relationships are likely to become more emphasized around this time, allowing you to intellectually connect on a much deeper level. It's time for healthy debates with people who inspire you, because an intellectual spar could lead to an unexpected friendship.

By September 3, a first quarter moon in Sagittarius could lead to spontaneous interventions that derail your routine. If you're falling into disarray, don't let it knock you off center. Get right back up on that pony, because how you act now will define where you wind up later.

Here's what you can expect from the upcoming week, according to your sun and/or rising sign (and seriously, you're missing out if you don't read these horoscopes for your rising sign):
