Here’s Your Horoscope for the Week of August 10

Aries (March 20 to April 19)

You are purposely closing yourself off from all the opportunities as you find yourself feeling powerless against forces out of your control. Will you just let yourself give up? Free yourself from this negative thinking and be your own boss! This is your life and only you have the power to carve your own path. So pick yourself up and say yes to better days ahead.

Taurus (April 19 – May 20)

You are feeling stuck in a monotonous routine and it keeps dragging you down. You need some spontaneity and fun in your life right now, but you don’t know how to get it when you’re just stuck at home. Here’s a suggestion: why not pursue a new creative project? You must have so many ideas in your head that you are raring to bring to life. Now is the perfect time! Follow your passion and see where it leads you.

Gemini (May 20 – June 21)

Your heart must be hurting from all the things troubling you emotionally right now. It’s time for you to focus on yourself and give yourself time to heal. Express your pains in a healthy way—don’t repress them! Don’t forget too that it isn’t selfish to put your needs first over another’s.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

You feel as though your past keeps catching up to you no matter what you do. This emotional baggage is holding you back from moving forward towards the future. When this happens, don’t be afraid to get a little help from your friends. Trust in them and rely on their comfort. They will help you release your old wounds and bravely move forward, free of the burdens. Remember, you don’t always have to do things on your own.

Leo (July 22 – August 23)

Your conscious awareness of the negative behaviors and mindset in your life is actually helping you become more able to manage your thoughts and emotions this time around. You will be much more prepared to deal with anxieties and stress now. Focus your energies on sharing your gifts and talents to others, as well as sharing your compassion not just to them but also to yourself. Everything will be okay as long as you are.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

You have lost sight of the light that has been guiding you in this journey and you may be feeling lost, discouraged, and unsure if this is still what you want for your life. Understand, though, that this is just your mind tricking you into thinking negatively just because you’re starting to feel overwhelmed by the tasks at hand or that things may not be going exactly how you wanted. Just persevere through this momentary hardship and be true to yourself. It’ll all be better soon enough.

Libra (September 22 – October 23)

Celebrate the beauty that exists all around you and within you. Be open to learning new things about the world and understanding your role in making the positive change that it needs. Express yourself, stay true to yourself, and, most importantly, have kindness for those who need it the most. And when things are starting to get a bit too tough to handle, don’t hesitate to take time for yourself.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 22)

You may have been acting selfishly lately as you fall into the negative pattern of thinking only about yourself. You might have been acting impulsively and without thought, carelessly placing yourself and others in harm’s way whether you had meant to or not. You need to pause for a second and evaluate yourself. See the unhelpful things you have been doing to yourself and learn from them. Don’t be too hard on yourself though; to err is human. Just use what you’ve learned to bring yourself to a much better future.

Sagittarius (November 21 – December 21)

You’re almost there at the finish line of the goals you’ve been working so hard for! Now is not the time to put your guard down. You need to be prepared for things to get much harder from here on out. Don’t feel pressured by what the people around you are saying; you don’t need to prove yourself to them. Simply knowing for yourself that you are capable of overcoming whatever comes your way is enough.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

Tons of setbacks may be slowing your progress and you may be feeling desperate to get a move on. However, being constantly in a rush will only leave room for you to make plenty of mistakes. Be patient and slow down; there will always be time for everything. Tune into your intuition, dig deep, and reflect. Don’t question your goals and the journey you’re on. Clarity will come in time.

Aquarius (January 19 – February 18)

You may be experiencing the shaky foundations of the things you’ve exerted so much effort to build and you’re looking for someone to blame for them. Instead of expressing your frustration towards someone, focus on discovering the root cause of your problem and doing what you can now to rebuild that foundation.

Pisces (February 18 – March 20)

You feel that forces outside your control are taking over your life and that you are never going to take a break from them. This misfortunate circumstance will overwhelm you and discourage you, but don’t fight against these changes because it’ll only hurt you. Trust that it’ll only get better; you just have to overcome all these obstacles first. Stay patient and separate yourself from all the drama and stressful situations.
