What is in your horoscope this week - August 7, 2023

These are the horoscopes for week commencing August 7, 2023.

Aries 21 March – 20 April

A stroke of good fortune could be down to a friendly encounter, Aries. If it results in an opportunity that you can take advantage of, you’ll be very pleased. The theme of organization and greater productivity continues with Mercury and Mars in Virgo. Think about working smarter rather than harder though. With a focus on your leisure zone, make time to unwind.

Taurus 21 April – 21 May

This looks to be an upbeat week that’s as good for domestic plans as it is for enjoying life. Plus, someone may make you an offer that you can’t refuse, and it could result in a better work/life balance and greater peace of mind. Mind, as Venus angles towards Uranus, you’ll also be looking for distractions and entertainment. Get ready, as an unexpected guest could show up.

Gemini 22 May – 21 June

Great minds think alike, and the conversations you have might prove this. You and another could come up with a plan to do something big and bold together. There may also be a lot of work needed at home, and if so, this is a good time to catch up. Keen to give your place a makeover? Watch costs as they could spiral if you spend too freely and don’t keep them under control.

Cancer 22 June – 23 July

A small windfall could show up or you might win a prize in a competition. The sun’s angle with jovial Jupiter early on suggests that something positive and uplifting will certainly put a smile on your face. You may also have a lot on your mind, so write it all down and set your priorities. This looks to be a productive week if you can get the worst tasks out of the way first.

Leo 24 July – 23 August

A call from someone you haven’t heard from in a while could cheer you up. And because it feels good to chat, you might want to connect more often. Plus, with a focus on your money zone, think about creating a budget or plan that can help you save money, but that allows for a few luxuries too. You could still purchase a snazzy item on a whim, even if you’re trying your best.

Virgo 24 August – 23 September

Trust your intuition and you’ll do well. Don’t ignore an intuitive nudge if it tells you to go somewhere or call someone, as good things could happen if you do. With Mercury and Mars in your sign, you’ll be in your element and ready to get moving on plans that mean a lot to you. Should you continue with a key project? The Quarter Moon might assist with a decision.

Libra 24 September – 23 October

A social occasion could get the week off to a fabulous start. You may join a group, make a new friend or reaffirm connections that are important to you. But you’ll also need some peace and quiet, as other factors suggest this is a good time to upgrade your inner game and revamp your approach to various issues. Need to resolve an awkward matter? Help is at hand if you do.

Scorpio 24 October – 22 November

You may be busy with club matters, chairing committees and the many other tasks that come with having an active social life. With an emphasis on the sign of Virgo you’ll make a concerted effort to move in new circles, bringing fresh opportunities your way. The Quarter Moon in Taurus can be a call to get everyone on board so you can finalize a plan, Scorpio.

Sagittarius 23 November – 21 December

A sunny Jupiter aspect brings a lucky break that might offer the chance of a special opportunity. This is also the time to liaise with people in authority or those you may want to do business with. The emphasis on goals and career suggests this is a great opportunity to get ahead of the game. You’ll have the energy and motivation to make a difference. Need to travel? Go for it!

Capricorn 22 December – 20 January

You’ll have an opportunity to turn a tricky issue to your advantage, especially if it involves business or money matters. And despite things looking awkward, you could do very well. But you’ll also be keen to get away from it all and enjoy new experiences. When it comes to romance, you might want to hasten the pace at which a relationship is unfolding. Let it happen naturally.

Aquarius 21 January – 19 February

A meeting could get the week off to a great start, especially if you’re working on something together or are newly in love. Need to discuss something? With Mercury and Mars in an intense zone, conversations could run deep. A chat with someone might resolve an issue that affects both of you. Have a plan? Inviting others to take part can be a real game-changer, Aquarius.

Pisces 20 February – 20 March

Seeing the bigger picture could help you make wiser decisions, Pisces. This can be important if you are struggling with too many issues. When you know what you want, it will be easier to make the necessary adjustments. Your relationships will be a force for good. Friends will be keen to build you up and increase your confidence if you’ve had cause to doubt yourself.
