Today’s horoscope for August 16 as one star sign expresses themselves freely, and another lends their support to others
It’s Saturday, August 16, and one star sign trusts their own business instincts, as another is feeling energised.
There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.
These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Creative activities can help ease stress. It isn’t healthy to aim your energy solely into your job and other responsibilities. Although you find success and satisfaction through your work, life is more than just making a living. You have a wonderful artistic flair, enjoy using this now. Tap into your creativity.
Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)
You’re looking for ways to expand your horizons. Pursuing a higher degree is an option, as is travelling abroad or getting your writing published. The key is to step out of your comfort zone. While you might feel safe and content, true growth comes from broadening your experiences.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
After a good night’s sleep you’re feeling mentally energised. You’re eager to dive straight into a job that has been planned for today. It’s a great time too, to start on new projects but to achieve success you will be expected to create thoughtful plans and forecasts.
Cancer (June 22 – July 23)
A possessive friend thinks they can make decisions for you. Don’t allow anyone to control you completely. Show them that while you’re giving them some influence over your life, you will stand your ground when necessary. Take pride in making someone else feel valued.
Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)
Everyone seems to want your company. It’s hard to keep up with all the demands and invitations coming your way and you are loving it. Enjoy your time in the spotlight without feeling guilty about it. Express your emotions freely, flirt, have fun and relax.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)
There are daily tasks waiting for your attention. You like to keep on top of your routine and yet there are family matters that also need to be dealt with. Although these were not on your agenda, sometimes you have to accept that you don’t have control of everything.
Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)
You’re surprised by a friend or colleague’s suggestion to approach things in a different way. This person is usually very predictable. They are always on time, no matter what plans you have made together and they value routine. Now suddenly they want something new and you are happy to encourage this.
Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)
You’re ready to have a break from serious work. It is time to relax. That’s why you are looking into booking a holiday. It won’t be easy to get in touch with someone who you know would like to travel with you. Keep trying and by the end of the day they will respond to your invitation as you are expecting.
Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)
Be cautious about what you reveal in a business partnership. If you are thinking about launching your own venture, you need more time to plan. Once you have a solid business plan and clear mission statement, you will be ready to set off on your own. Trust your instincts and business sense.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)
You will be glad of the help that’s being offered by people with more experience. Mistakes are a natural part of learning. As you become more comfortable with this task or topic, then you will be in a position to assist others.
Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)
Your intuition is telling you to keep out of the spotlight. A partner, whether in business or romance, is hoping to spend more time with you. They have something on their mind they want to discuss. You will want to keep any personal struggles to yourself for now as you offer support to others.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Observing from behind the scenes will equip you for a high profile position that will be available soon. By then you will be ready to tackle any challenges that come our way. Look at this as a training phase. An arrogant competitor will face some humiliation. This is a mistake you will never make.
