YOU’s resident astrologer Sally Brompton reveals your horoscope for 16th-22nd August 2021. So, what does the week have in store?
SCORPIO
24 Oct-22 Nov
You’re not so different from most other people as you will discover this week. Someone you thought was not your type will go out of their way to help you, and their kindness will inspire you to look at life from a more inclusive perspective.
SAGITTARIUS
23 Nov-21 Dec
You are flavour of the month on the work front just now so make the most of it. As Venus moves to focus on your career, those in authority will look favourably on your endeavours. This is your chance to show them what you’re capable of.
CAPRICORN
22 Dec-20 Jan
Travel and social events will be great fun this week. Even if you’re the kind of Capricorn who prefers to stay close to home, you’ll be thinking about going somewhere you’ve never been before. Don’t just think about it – do it. You may never get the chance again.
AQUARIUS
21 Jan-19 Feb
Something that occurs this week will lessen your concerns over your finances. You could come into money, but more likely your attitude will improve and you’ll stop fretting over something that may never happen. If it does, you’ll know you can deal with it.
PISCES
20 Feb-20 March
One of the best times of the year for relationships begins this week. As affectionate Venus enters your opposite sign of Virgo, you’ll find it easier to reach out to those you live, work and do business with. They will find it easier to reach out to you too.
ARIES
21 March-20 April
Your in-tray may be scarily high but with Venus in the work and wellbeing area of your chart you must do less, not more. Aries is the sign of the pioneer but the planets warn that you’ve gone too far and done too much. Be kind to yourself. Work can wait.
TAURUS
21 April-21 May
In the eyes of loved ones and colleagues, you’re perfection personified: they won’t hear a word against you. It’s good to have such loyal friends but don’t let it go to your head. Those who are on your side now could be your harshest critics later on.
GEMINI
22 May-21 June
It’s not just what you say that affects others but the way you say it and your body language. Make the effort to smile at everyone you meet this week and watch how they react. The way to make the world a brighter place is to be a brighter person.
CANCER
22 June-23 July
Even if you’re the kind of Cancer who finds it hard to share their feelings you’ll be more expressive than usual this week. With Venus in the most outgoing area of your chart, you’ll also be more open to ideas and ideals you would usually dismiss as unrealistic.
LEO
24 July-23 Aug
Sometimes you believe that anyone who offers you anything worth having is trying to deceive you. Whatever the reason, it’s time to get over it as the planets suggest that if you work with others you will be richer on every level. No one wants to cheat you.
VIRGO
24 Aug-23 Sept
The good times start this week. The entry of Venus, planet of harmony, into your sign will help you to overcome recent negative thoughts. It will also bring your way someone who loves you as you are, warts and all. Don’t be suspicious and spoil the mood.
LIBRA
24 Sept-23 Oct
You don’t have to keep a low profile and risk spoiling your fun, but you do have to be aware that some people, given the chance, will talk you down in front of your friends. It would be nice if everyone was as tactful as you but they’re not. Don’t relax your guard.
