This week's horoscopes: Week beginning 12th August

If it’s your birthday…

The best thing you can do for yourself this year is forget about trying to move forward too much (it could be one step forward and two steps back). Instead, take a tip from your birthday chart and see what you need to rethink, redo, review or revise. In particular see how you can revamp your health, fitness and daily routines.

Just when you thought the big professional push that you need to make was over, along comes Mars reversing back in your Career Zone. Remember that Mars is your ruling planet, so whatever he does has extra impact on you.

Think of this retrograde of his now back in your Career Zone as another chance to inject some real effort into what you want to achieve professionally. Set some goals rather than taking action just yet. Action will work better later.

TAURUS

This is a super powerful time for you – the most important thing is to go with the flow and move easily with the changes coming your way. Cut loose anyone and anything which makes you feel hemmed in and you won’t regret it.

Taureans with publishing dreams get a second chance now. This week half a dozen planets are going backwards but your planet Venus isn’t one of them, so you should be a bit immune to the retrograde madness!

GEMINI
May 21 – June 20

Your ruler Mercury is one of the six planets retrograde at the moment so … slow things down. You’ll benefit from meditating too if you know how (and if you don’t then learn!)

It will offset the frustration you might feel this crazy week. On the upside, at least you’re in a cycle where far more people than usual get to experience what you go through up to four times a year; the weirdness of having your ruling planet reversing.

MOONCHILD (CANCER)

If you want more money or you want to renegotiate a contract, then now is an ideal time to do it as Mercury reverses through your Money Zone (one of six planets going backwards right now).

In relationships, the times are finally a-changing for the better so keep being real. As well, we are now out of the eclipse season. Being Moon-ruled, eclipses set you on edge. Now you should be able to breathe more easily again and gently relax.

LEO
July 23 – August 22

With so many planets (six!) retrograde this week, a lot of people are going to feel as though they’re stalled in life or even going backwards. That’s because their ruling planets are reversing which can make them feel as though they are reversing too. Not you, though, proud Leo, since your ruler, the Sun, never retrogrades.

Take this chance to get ahead of the competition. Not in a mean or selfish way, just in a “you’ve got it, so flaunt it” way.

VIRGO
August 23 – September 22

It’s time for you to take some time out to reflect on what you want and what is going to make you happy. Fly under the radar if you need to. The world is actually going to give you a break and some time alone if you admit that you need it.

If you can get away on an actual retreat, then you will have an amazing time. Failing that, carve out at least 20 minutes a day to be alone.

LIBRA
23 September – October 22

This could be a lovely week for you, while most of the rest of the signs struggle with mad energies. Your planet Venus one of the few not retrograde, so you can move forward more easily.

Moreover, loving and abundant Venus is in your sign; cue improved romance and riches prospects. If you have your eye on someone, there are definitely worse times to give them a sign. Now is the time for you to be healing energy about love and romance.

SCORPIO
23 October – November 21

Here’s a tip for you Scorpio; forget about anything which makes you feel weary, and instead fill your life up with people and situations which make you feel inspired. Who cares what ‘society’ says? Life is too short to do something just because it’s the ‘done’ thing.

Grab some freedom. You have amazing stars right now, even though both your rulers are retrograding. The most important thing is to decide to maintain a positive mindset. Train your brain. The stars will help.

SAGITTARIUS
22 November – December 21

Fighting about anything is never a good energy; in fact it can create negative vibes which act as a sort of bottleneck to you getting what you want. Remember this over the coming seven days if and when an argument about cash, property or possessions seems to be rearing its head.

You have some very intense stars financially. However, if you can work out how to get the energies flowing in your favour, your fortunes can increase hugely between now and 2020.

CAPRICORN
22 December – January 19

Mars is temporarily back in your sign this week and it’s good news. Although Mars is retrograde and there could be some angst associated with his second visit to your sign in recent times, soon you should find that you end up feeling more energised than you have done in a while.

So try to breathe through any dramas this week and conserve your energy because you will be feeling much better quite soon. You’re in the eye of a perfect storm.

AQUARIUS
20 January – February 18

As Mercury reverses in your Love Zone, you have the chance to renegotiate the rules of any and all of your most important one-to-one relationships; think your partner, your ex, your boss. You are in a new relationship cycle now anyway thanks to the recent eclipses, so make required changes!

If you are single, this is a great time to get out and meet someone – or reconnect with an ex. Attached? Now is the time to decide what you want.

PISCES
February 19 – March 20

Have you lost friends over the past few years? Some are gone because they were toxic; some are gone because you needed to learn the lessons from them; some are gone because you lost your cool. This week learn lessons about being nice even when people disagree with or annoy you.

The other possibility this week is that you’re going to get another go at making a particular wish come true. You are getting a second chance so don’t waste it!
