Horoscopes
JENNY BLUME predicts your destiny for AUGUST 8-14
Leo JUL 24 – AUG 23
Your horoscope is beginning to glow... and like a little ray of sunshine, your warmth and optimism are reflecting onto those around you. As your vision and determination both power up, August could bring breakthroughs, both socially and at work. STAR TIP As Venus heightens your charisma, a budding romance could blossom.
HALLE BERRY With many projects on the go, the Oscar winner, who turns 56 on August 14, will be busy!
Virgo AUG 24 – SEP 23
Take a breather Virgo, particularly if you’ve been under pressure lately. Book a massage, slip out of town or catch an uplifting musical. From late August, doing anything by halves will be your biggest challenge, but for now, focus on recharging. STAR TIP If your partner is feeling a tad neglected, plan something special for the weekend.
Libra SEP 24 – OCT 23
Someone pressing your buttons? With a feisty Full Moon blowing things out of proportion, try not to overreact. Debrief with friends over the weekend, then check out a few markets or garage sales – your nose for a bargain should be finely tuned!
STAR TIP If you’re looking for art, you might find – or create! – the perfect piece.
Scorpio OCT 24 – NOV 22
Searching for answers? Friday’s Full Moon could shed more light on matters, just don’t let someone’s negativity dampen the mood. At work, dress to impress might become your favourite new motto. Lift your spirits with some colourful new pieces.
STAR TIP Saturday’s magical Pisces moon is tailor-made for fun – and romance.
Sagittarius NOV 23 – DEC 22
Cast those worries aside and focus on unwinding. As your travel sector lights up, a mini-break might work wonders, and as Venus cruises into the picture, things could turn very romantic. Long-term couples, perhaps it’s time to plan a second honeymoon?
STAR TIP If your skills need brushing up, the cosmos is spurring you into action.
Capricorn DEC 23 – JAN 20
Grab your calculator! A money-making idea might be worth investigating, while at work, your proactive approach could lead to offers or promotions. If heirlooms or old jewellery have been collecting dust, perhaps it’s time to remodel or pass it on?
STAR TIP Social sports like tennis, golf and bowls might hit the spot this month.
Aquarius JAN 21 – FEB 19
If you’ve been burying your head in the sand, this week’s Full Moon might bring a wake-up call – just don’t be bullied into doing something that feels wrong. An upcoming getaway should put things into perspective so start making plans. You deserve it!
STAR TIP If a local group or organisation has caught your eye, why not get involved?
Pisces FEB 20 – MAR 20
As your emotional antenna picks up new signals, many Pisceans will see a difficult person through fresh eyes – it might even prompt a reconciliation. Healthwise, Venus is ushering you into a more proactive period. Perfect for spring fitness kicks! STAR TIP New cosmetics, supplements or beauty routines could add a very noticeable glow.
Aries MAR 21 – APR 20
Sure, it’s nice to be needed, but don’t forget to nurture yourself as well. Balance your hard work with plenty of play – catch a comedy, hit the dancefloor or treat yourself to a pampering session. And if those creative juices are flowing, don’t hold back.
STAR TIP Local workshops or cultural events might be more fun than expected.
Taurus APR 21 – MAY 21
Two heads are better than one, as they say. If you’ve lost that spring in your step, open up to someone you trust. As ideas are bounced around, new strategies should begin to take shape. Couples, offload the kids and treat yourselves to a special night out.
STAR TIP Looking for love? Saturday’s social sky could set the scene for romance.
Gemini MAY 22 – JUN 21
Prepare for lift-off! Even if you’re normally the quieter type, Venus is turning you into a social butterfly. For many, life is becoming bigger and busier, but don’t let your fitness fall in a heap. Weekend walks or hikes should tick all the right boxes.
STAR TIP Films, art and music should tap into that passionate, creative side.
Cancer JUN 22 – JUL 23
Something you’ve been dreaming about is moving closer. And as a bonus, Venus’ shift into your money sector could boost your bank balance – just read the fine print before booking expensive holidays. That old travel bug is beginning to bite!
STAR TIP To attract more good fortune into your life, wear a topaz ring or pendant.
