YOUR INDIVIDUAL HOROSCOPE

For Friday, Aug. 13, 2021

ARIES

(March 21 to April 19) You don’t always have to do things alone, especially when it comes to things that are tough or challenging. Asking for help shows more strength than you think.

TAURUS

(April 20 to May 20)

As you work toward your goals, try to look at past mistakes or losses as opportunities rather than setbacks. Seek out words of encouragement.

GEMINI

(May 21 to June 20)

If you’re feeling heavy today, set aside time for some much-needed fun. A break from the monotony or a change of scenery can lift your spirits.

CANCER

(June 21 to July 22) Someone could try to press your buttons, but you don’t have to feed into their drama. It’s one of those days where being in your own little bubble helps.

LEO

(July 23 to Aug. 22) Where can you stand to loosen the reins and allow others to help you or contribute to what you’re doing? Be open to what others can offer you.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

It’s time to give yourself more credit for what you’ve done and what you can do. Acknowledging your gifts is especially important if negotiating for money or a job.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re encouraged to focus more on your own needs and do what feels good. A weekend getaway could be good for your soul, as could a romantic night out.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You’re pushed to step back and get quiet, as being plugged in to all that’s going on is burning you out. A meditation retreat or a nap can renew you.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Although you’re incredibly independent, you’re reminded that you need people too. Today, connect with your people. You could use some laughs and some love.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) How can you be your own biggest fan today? By celebrating yourself, even if no one else does. Meanwhile, if you’ve recently applied for a job, good news arrives.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Worry or anxiety could be hard to shake today, but you can overcome it. Try to reframe your thoughts and expect a positive outcome.

PISCES

(Feb. 19 to March 20)

It might feel like you’ll never reach an important goal or get something you’ve been wishing for. You will. You just can’t force it to happen. FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY You don’t give up very easily. You give it your all. Thanks to your go-hard-or-go-home attitude, you’re never far off from success. You possess insight and tremendous depth. You don’t shy away from the darker or more challenging side of life and are often a guiding force in helping others through setbacks or difficult experiences. Although, you must learn how to let others show up for you. This year, expect to find out just how much you’re loved and appreciated, as the bonds you share with others become stronger than before.
