Your weekly horoscope, August 12-19
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Now is the ideal moment to improve your time-management skills so that you can fit work, family, friends, exercise and love all into your busy day. Better get organised so you don't miss out on anything!
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Find something that excites you and pour your passion into it. You're in tune with the arts, so perhaps something creative and crafty fits the bill. Allow your imagination to soar.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
You cannot do everything at once, so make time to sort out your priorities. If you need help, ask for it. Try to find the positive in everything you attempt.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 22
Focus on details, especially if you have an important decision to make. All the information you need is at hand but you might be glossing over some of it, deliberately or not.
Sagittarius
November 23 – December 20
Recognise that you are blessed with so much more than just material things. Stop counting the money and start counting the joys instead.
Capricorn
December 21 – January 19
A pause allows you to gather your thoughts. Don't be in such a hurry to move forward – slow progress is still progress, so appreciate where you are and reset the pace at which you travel.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Listen to what the little voice in your head is telling you, but try to make it more positive. Don't limit yourself, or be your own harshest critic. Instead, love your inner child.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Make time to stand up for someone who is struggling to stand up for themselves. Your social conscience is pricked and you'll want to make a difference, however small it may be.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Take time out to acknowledge your achievements in life. You're very keen on constantly pushing forward but sometimes it's good to sit back and enjoy the view. You've come a long way, so give yourself some credit.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Take advantage of a lull to examine your beliefs. Listen to your heart and don't be afraid to learn about new faiths or alternative ideas. Share what spirituality means to you with your friends and family.
Gemini
May 21 – June 21
The unusual, the weird and possibly even the macabre fascinate you now – and that's fi ne. Do some research and follow your interests. What you learn may take you in interesting directions.
Cancer
June 22 – July 22
Negotiation is important in love. If you and your partner differ on something important, talk it through carefully, making sure you both actually hear what is being said. Look for a happy middle ground.
