Your Daily Horoscope for Thursday, August 12

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Your intuition is spot on! If something seems a bit fishy the chances are it probably is. So don’t take things at face value and dig below the surface – you’ll get to the truth. This will be especially fortuitous when it comes to financial matters or terms and conditions. Meanwhile, an old favour will be repaid.

Leo

July 23-August 22

Although you’re bold, daring and are confident when it comes to taking risks this is not the day to make snap decisions. Information that you were previously unaware of will bubble to the surface and put a completely different slant on a situation, one that you were probably about to invest a fair bit of time or energy into.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

As the perfectionist of the zodiac you can sometimes get ensconced in details. Today though you’ll need to step back and keep your focus on the bigger picture. Meanwhile, the stars are giving you the courage to sever toxic ties and take transformative action. Your heightened perception will help you effortlessly see people’s motives.

Libra

September 23-October 22

Karma is paying a visit but don’t fret! Skeletons won’t jump out of your closet. Luckily for you it’s indiscretions that will be ignored and the random acts of kindness you performed that will be rewarded. Meanwhile, you may feel as though an angel is watching over you, steering you away from trouble and into good fortune.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

It’s lovely to have a solid support network and today you will be feeling the love from existing friends and new ones outside of the fold. Soft, yet sultry Venus and mighty Mars in your social sector is bringing out your finest qualities so you’re bound to be affectionate, receptive and irresistible! A charitable act puts things in perspective.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

You’re happiest when several balls are in the air but the stars are prompting you to streamline and forget about multitasking for the time being. Ditch time-wasters so you can spend more time doing the things you enjoy. Resist the compulsion to race ahead and do one thing slowly and well. Regarding friends it’s all in the delivery, play nice!

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Earth signs can be quite retentive but today the cosmic climate will help you to identify what’s worth holding onto and what you should release, literally and metaphorically. Decluttering your surroundings both at work and home is essential. Also readjust your mindset and habits and be open to new ways of thinking. Family interaction will be pivotal and rewarding.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

You may feel a sense of urgency to make a choice or forge ahead but you won’t exactly know what you want or which path to take. In this instance time is an illusion and not of the essence so don’t succumb to pressure and wait for things to unfold before making up your mind. Keep your options open.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

If you’ve become complacent with an unsatisfactory situation, particularly concerning friendships, it’s time to reassess things and realise that life’s too short to keep making allowances. Similarly you’re more likely to identify your true support network and show them your appreciation. Virgos and Scorpios will be full of loyalty and laughter. Forget the periphery, get close and personal.
