What is in your horoscope this week - August 14, 2023

These are the horoscopes for week commencing August 14, 2023.

Aries 21 March – 20 April

Ready for a refreshing change? It might happen, with a wonderful Mars/Uranus tie bringing a surprise offer that could enhance your income. If it appeals, take it, as you could do well out of it. There may be distractions too, but these can pave the way for new developments. The Thursday Leo New Moon could enhance creativity and encourage a romantic bond to flourish.

Taurus 21 April – 21 May

With some frustration occurring, you may be tempted to speed up the pace by taking a short cut. Doing so could be a lifesaver, but it might affect your reputation if your work isn’t up to scratch. Be speedy but careful. Ready to give your place a makeover? Starting later this week can be an advantage as your love of design and craft is at a peak. You just need to channel it.

Gemini 22 May – 21 June

If someone seems resistant to your ideas, don’t try to persuade them otherwise, Gemini. You’d be better to trust your knowledge and experience and let the results speak for themselves. If you have the courage of your convictions, they’ll soon come to. With a potent New Moon in Leo on Thursday, it’s a great time to launch a project that could be a real money-spinner for you.

Cancer 22 June – 23 July

Short on funds? It may seem this way early on, but the Mars/Uranus link suggests opportunities could arise to enhance your income. You just need to be open to offers and ideas, wherever they come from. Some suggestions might be a bit of a challenge but can still be worthy of your attention. Ready to get finances in order? Just making a start may leave you more assured.

Leo 24 July – 23 August

Feel let down? Midweek could be a disappointment, but this may be replaced by better options that leave you equally enthusiastic. Soon enough you won’t even remember why you felt let down. The New Moon in your sign is the best of the year, and a great time to kick-start new initiatives and plans. Keen to enhance your reputation? Celebrate cutting-edge ideas, Leo.

Virgo 24 August – 23 September

If you’re feeling the pace and working hard, the focus on a quieter zone encourages you to avoid burnout. If you can take a break, even if only for a few hours, then make the most of the week. A sterling tie between Mars in your sign and Uranus can bring exciting opportunities you’ll warm to. Practicing meditation or yoga may be helpful for long-term peace of mind.

Libra 24 September – 23 October

Perhaps you don’t feel in the mood for socialising, preferring a quieter pace. And yet connecting with others and getting out could make this week extra special. You’ll link up with some fascinating people who may have opportunities and ideas to share. And romance could call out too, Libra. Whether single or spoken for, the Leo New Moon highlights sizzling passions.

Scorpio 24 October – 22 November

Certain reservations may be holding you back from reaching your full potential. These could surface early on, but they will not linger. With the days ahead bringing revolutionary ideas and fresh perspectives into the mix, what seemed like a challenge could soon be a breeze. Plus, the Leo New Moon brings a chance to stand out from the crowd and show your true worth.

Sagittarius 23 November – 21 December

A Venus/Chiron link suggests you may be putting a damper on your plans. This could make you reluctant to take a trip or grasp an opportunity. While caution can be a positive, you might be overly so. With so many possibilities showing up this week, don’t be afraid to see where they take you. The Leo New Moon encourages you to trust your heart, but not be too impulsive.

Capricorn 22 December – 20 January

Move in new circles and you could be offered more opportunities than you’ve had in some time. If you’ve held back due to a fear of trying anything new, the days ahead encourage you to move out of your comfort zone and be more daring. A positive transformation may result from this. Need to let go of something so you can move ahead? Doing so might be a release, Capricorn.

Aquarius 21 January – 19 February

There are interesting developments behind the scenes that could boost your income or provide a good return on any investments. The excellent Mars/Uranus tie also hints at a surprise which might be a business deal or another offer that gets you excited. And while you may not see eye-to-eye on one matter, the Leo New Moon hints that an idea can get off to an amazing start.

Pisces 20 February – 20 March

You’ll have opportunities to meet some fabulous people and to work and collaborate with them. A sudden attraction to someone could take things in a romantic or businesslike direction, or even both. You’ll also be keen to look after your wellbeing, especially if you’ve been feeling the pressure of work. And the Leo New Moon on Thursday is perfect for adopting healthier habits.
