Horoscopes for third week of August

By Metro Creative

ARIES

You are the master of leaping before looking, Aries, and this week is no different. You are not satisfied with hanging back and assessing the situation before acting. You’re right in the mix.

TAURUS

Taurus, do not pretend to be a neutral party when two people come up to you seeking advice. You are too loyal to avoid taking sides, but it could affect the relationship with the other person.

GEMINI

Gemini, it may be time to step in and help a loved one refocus their energies. Rather than let them dwell on a difficult situation, work to offer them a new perspective.

CANCER

Use the past as motivation to make some serious changes in your life, Cancer. This is the week to begin plotting a few ideas that can have a large impact.

LEO

Leo, there may be some room in the budget for a few splurges this week. As long as you do not go too overboard, you can snag that item that you have had your eyes on for some time.

VIRGO

Don’t be so sure that you’ve examined every detail and checked them multiple times, Virgo. Your plan has to be foolproof for it to work. Run it by another set of eyes.

LIBRA

Libra, if no one is asking for advice right now, it’s best to leave your life coach tendencies on the side. If and when someone needs your help, you can believe they’ll come calling.

SCORPIO

Scorpio, you have big news and you’re ready to tell the world. Hold it in a little longer so that your audience will be chomping at the bit to hear what you have to say.

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarius, it can be challenging for you to avoid the soap opera that is seemingly unfolding around you right now. Do your best to stay out of the fray for the time being.

CAPRICORN

Capricorn, if someone in your social circle is in need of a new perspective, you may have to speak up and help get them on a better path. Take this responsibility seriously.

AQUARIUS

You have come a long way in a short time, Aquarius. Keep up the hard work and you will continue to see results you can be proud of.

PISCES

Pisces, you will have to try to tune out the static all around you this week and concentrate on the things you need to accomplish. There is no wiggle room for distractions right now.
