Weekly horoscope for August 11 – August 17: What the stars have in store

Date:

OUR much-loved astrologer Meg sadly died last year but her column will be kept alive by her friend and protégée Maggie Innes.

ARIES

MAR 21 – APR 20

12

The mind planet’s back flip revisits your sector of creative ideas and dreams – bringing a second chance to make a first impression.

Be prepared, but be yourself. 

If love has felt more like labour lately, Venus can change this with just a few words. 

So if you want to speak, this can be your week. 

If you’re fancy-free, someone who appears so serious has such a fun passion proposal. 

TAURUS

APR 21 – MAY 21

12

Your standing in a family may have felt shaky these last few weeks, but now you can firm things up. 

You know the role you want, and only you can spell this out. 

The Jupiter effect on your cash chart is noticeable by its generosity and luxury – the more you give away this week, the more you can receive. 

Try it and see. 

The luck factor waits in a room of “W” candidates. 

GEMINI

MAY 22 – JUNE 21

12

This week the moon makes you, above all, resilient. 

When one emotional approach doesn’t hit the spot, you can try others, and keep on trying.

But do have a personal limit set, in your own mind and heart, before you start. 

Rewinding a work conversation and starting again can fill in some gaps you may not have noticed, first time.

Luck and love both link to abstract art. 

CANCER

JUNE 22 – JULY 22

12

You’re not a sign that is ruled by money – but this week, getting to grips with a set of spending challenges is one of your key tasks. 

It’s sensible, not selfish, to make sure your side of a deal is fair. 

If you’re in love, Venus connects partners in unexpected, warm ways. 

If you’re single, your soulmate is first to raise their hand, ask a key question.

LEO

JULY 23 – AUG 23

12

As Mercury reverses back into the personal heart of your chart, you find strength to try deep inner changes again. 

Most important is the voice you use to talk to yourself – it should always be kind, and never critical. 

When you are your own best friend, so much can fall into place. 

The moon highlights a business linked to making families, or homes, look and feel better.

VIRGO

AUG 24 – SEPT 22

12

A dream you assumed gone for good can be back, bigger than ever, from the start of this week. 

So don’t waste this chance to really examine what you want, and how you can get it. 

Your love zone is all about shared values – if partners are on different commitment pages, you can correct this. 

If you’re single, you’ll first see your perfect match wearing colours that really clash.

LIBRA

SEPT 23 – OCT 23

12

All kinds of reunions, in person and online, are starred by Mercury as worth your attention this week. 

Going back may not be your usual approach, but there’s a lot to learn here, and maybe a lot to love, too. 

A money-moon grows all week, from discounting creative ideas to finding ways to make them work – so make sure you do your research. 

Luck turns four names or numbers into five. 

SCORPIO

OCT 24 – NOV 22

12

The best ambitions for this week can be ones you have already written off – so step back into your Wish List, see what leaps out.

Your instincts are strong, as you start the week with a personal moon – plus Mars staying-power and Venus charisma.

If you truly want something to work, you are already half-way there. 

A love that may seem purely platonic has a passion secret.

12

The best journeys are an adventure in themselves, whether or not you arrive.

This week, you have a star ticket to ride, in search of something special. 

The moment this comes into your mind, you will know the right direction.

If you’re in love, expecting more from passion may also mean giving more – are you ready for this? 

Single? Your dream date may come late, but is worth the wait.

CAPRICORN

DEC 22 – JAN 20

12

Who you allow to enter, and to stay, in your closest circle is your theme this week.

People may impress you, yet be hard to truly connect with. 

The shrewd eyes of Mercury are with you now to spot the difference. 

Maybe you resist revealing your softer self, especially at work – but a little vulnerability can reinforce other people’s respect for you. 

Luck adds up a series of odd numbers. 

AQUARIUS

JAN 21 – FEB 18

12

If love feels like unfinished business, this can be your time to tackle this – and search for closure, or a new set of commitment rules. 

Only you know exactly what you most need, to take your heart forward.

Keep this clear in your mind, as you make your moves. 

Cash can pull you in two very different directions, but you have the clever touch to make the best of both.

PISCES

FEB 19 – MAR 20

12

Work that links to history, your own or other people’s, can be set to take a larger stake in your success. 

This can start with a casual set of questions, but do take these seriously. 

If you’re with a partner, a moon of adventure first opens two hearts and then loosens two opposing sets of views. 

So anything can happen! 

Single?  A unique ring can be a key clue.
