Weekly horoscope for August 18 – August 24: What the stars have in store

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

No chill-out time for your career chart – as the sun powers in, you can feel work heat rising. 

This can be your chance to step up and impress, or quietly make yourself a get-out schedule.

The important part, is action. 

Love-wise, a dreamy moon dredges up vivid dreams of something or someone so different, and this time you are ready. 

Luck asks for numbers or names to be repeated.

TAURUS

APR 21 – MAY 21

12

You’re not just creative this week, you have the kind of ideas that can set the world on fire.

All it takes is a measure of self-belief – the one person who can give you that, is you. 

Be proud of your skills, eager to share them. 

The full moon shines on a friend’s face and reveals true feelings.

If you’re coupled-up, try not to censor words, or actions.

GEMINI

MAY 22 – JUNE 21

12

A significant square-up of Jupiter and Saturn centres on your sign, so you can expect to feel full of contradictions this week. 

Up, then down – sure, then uncertain. 

This process is making you stronger, so try to go with it. 

You can set things in motion that lead to a Christmas celebration.  

An ambitious full moon sweeps away objections so you can line up a juicy local role. 

CANCER

JUNE 22 – JULY 22

12

It’s so much easier to speak up with the sun behind you now – but it’s also easier to say the wrong thing. 

So do run any planned speeches past a trusted friend or family member first. 

If you’re in love, a couple learns better, and faster, together rather than apart. 

If you’re single, a circular journey can lead to your soulmate. 

Luck halves an even number – and doubles an odd one.

LEO

JULY 23 – AUG 23

12

The full moon reaches into any secrets you have been storing inside – and sheds light on why this has happened. 

Instead of holding on to negative energy or emotions, you can let it go, set yourself free. 

Lovers will straight away sense the difference. 

If you’re single, The One has two totally different jobs. 

A powerful planet square can bring surprising people into your closest circle, with surprising offers.

VIRGO

AUG 24 – SEPT 22

12

The sun’s with you now,  and so many chances are warming back up. 

If you’ve felt confidence flagging, your levels are rising again – but the key difference is, you don’t let outside voices influence you. 

Only your inner self is in control.  In love? Venus lets the small stuff go – this time for good. 

Single? When you finally meet someone a friend keeps talking about… you’re wowed.

LIBRA

SEPT 23 – OCT 23

12

Your work chart could feel all stirred up, as Jupiter and Saturn challenge each other – but by Christmas this can mean you have a totally new role up and running. 

So embrace any chaos, show how well you can cope. 

If you’re in love, a full moon of full commitment reinforces trust, despite surface storms. 

If you’re single, The One is standing in for a friend in a public role. 

SCORPIO

OCT 24 – NOV 22

12

Your week is centred on sociable times, and community contacts – this can be your moment to follow up on a number you’ve had tucked away in your phone, or memory, for a while now. 

You will know exactly what to say.

Your imagination fires up day and night, and the best ideas may surprise you, so do be ready to note them down. 

The luck factor favours top ten lists. 

SAGITTARIUS

NOV 23 – DEC 21

12

With the sun now at the top of your chart, you are at the top of your game – this week, a boss could even step aside to let you have your chance. 

But the biggest difference is inside you, as optimism and self-belief surge.

In love, this takes you forward, stops you going back to a bond, or a promise, that will never match your wishes. 

CAPRICORN

DEC 22 – JAN 20

12

Words have extra ability to influence and encourage this week – as Jupiter and Saturn make a testing team. 

So only say what you truly mean -and hear what is truly meant. 

In love terms, this can mean making enough space for two sets of dreams, instead of one. 

Putting a vague fitness ambition into clear words, and steps, can lead to a finishing line by the end of the year. 

AQUARIUS

JAN 21 – FEB 18

12

You’re not always a full moon fan, as you prefer to stay on the logical side of love.  But this week, throw caution to the wind, let the wild wonder of passion flow over you. 

Partners can see the future, where before they may have been blinded by the past. 

If you’re single, keep head and heart apart until you’ve chosen between two tempting options. 

Luck draws wavy lines. 

PISCES

FEB 19 – MAR 20

12

Is the world ready for upcoming Pisces?  

As Jupiter and Saturn square up, you’re looking at your home, and wondering if it’s where your heart is. 

A very different lifestyle path can be so close, so perfect. 

So starting now for the next few months, consider every address or opportunity. 

In love? Keep secrets away, by sharing even difficult truths. 

Single? The One links to a December date.
