Weekly horoscope: 2 astrologers' predictions for August 21 - August 27, 2023

"You have the courage to face your fears now. Many changes are occurring, so use your bold, fiery energy to create a positive shift in all areas of your life."

"Consider the virtues of the tortoise. Far better you take your time and reach the finishing line than rush into a situation that sends you into a tailspin. Slowly does it."

"With Jupiter in your sign right now miracles can occur. Give your concerns to the universe, take inspired action, and trust in the divine plan. You really can do it!"

"Expect to be given the run-around. It’s not that people are avoiding you on purpose or deliberately failing to supply you with the information you require, they’re confused too. Patience."

"Your ruler, Mercury, is governing the Sun in Virgo for the next month. So, tap into your fabulous communication skills to help you to clearly say exactly what you need."

"Don’t take no for an answer. Someone may have the facts wrong or the current situation will change. Hold your fire until you have the info in black and white."

"You are deeply sensitive and, as a result, you may be feeling a little more reflective now. Move into your true self. Elevate beyond negativity and reach a higher vision."

"If you enjoy going round in circles, you’ll love the week ahead. On the other hand, should you need facts, figures and a timetable, prepare to be placed on hold."

"Venus is moving retrograde in your sign. Take this time out to reflect, revisit and re-evaluate, especially in the areas of love and money. Wait to make any major changes."

"You won’t be the only person trying to find your bearings in a very blurry world. It’s one of those weeks when the weirdest things happen. Could be magical though."

"The Sun moves into your sign towards the end of August. Find a new way of practically sharing your talents. If you can use your skills in service, even better."

"If you’re unhappy about something, say so. Then again, you may be in a puddle of confusion about what to do. Ask for more time. Don’t give in to pressure."

"It's time for you to shine your light and show others what you can do! Trust your inner voice as this will bring you new insight into your future direction."

"Nothing is set in stone. Remember this, whether you receive a wonderful offer or a situation appears to have ground to a halt. Learn to dance on a moving carpet."

"Stand firm, focus on your true, divine purpose, and release the fear of being judged. Sometimes you need to step out of your comfort zone. Now is the right time."

"Making an investment, whether of your time, energy, or money, requires lots of care. So, put in firewalls, safety nets and always read the small print. Be safe, not sorry."

"You know what you want, so stay focused, and believe that the sky's the limit. Use the direction of the archer (symbolised by your sign) to help you aim high."

"Do you really, really want it? Ask yourself that question before you jump in with both feet, as what may look like a dream may be just that: a dream."

"It is time to lead by example. You’re a wise and strong soul. Take charge of a challenging situation and know that you will help others more than you know."

"If in doubt, don’t. Whatever the real weather’s doing, it’s mist and murk all the way. Give it three weeks, when you’ll be in the know and in a stronger position."

"Your awareness is growing, and you can see synchronistic events taking place all around you. Remember to stay centred and calm, no matter what is going on in your world."

"It could be a storm in a teacup or the beginning of something you’ll need to watch closely. For the moment, play along with the situation, but give nothing away."

"Amethyst is a helpful stone for you to meditate with. Simply find yourself a peaceful, quiet place to be and meditate with this beautiful stone for the clarity you need."

"Think twice before committing yourself to something that may not be all that you think it is. By mid-September, things could look rather different. It’s a wait-and-see thing."
