Weekly horoscope: This star sign will have setbacks in their plans this week

Librans are going to have issues, setbacks and false starts with their plans this week, says the MEN’s resident fortune teller. However, the Stockport based medium says ‘don’t let this put you off’ as falling short is an opportunity to discover yourself and learn.

For Taureans, Stuart Cassels says the next seven days will see them feeling ‘conflicted’ as they will be yearning for some excitement despite having everything you could possibly wish for. Aquarians have been told to be ‘brave’ and throw caution to the wind this week by tapping into your creative tendencies.

Scorpios will have to out on a brave face this week. Cassels says not to go it alone however, by reaching out to close ones who can help you shoulder the burden.

Stuart’s tarot reading of each star sign for the week commencing from August 19 – August 25 can be read below…

Aries: 21st March – 19th April: “A typical Aries will experience heightened energy levels this week, coupled with a desire to achieve significant goals. This is likely to lead to plenty of activity and a temptation to speak your mind when others disagree with you.

“As the week progresses, you find yourself becoming more passionate about a particular topic, and whilst you may start off the week focusing on local concerns, before the end of the week, you will recognise how this is a much bigger subject than you first imagined.”

Taurus: 20th April – 20th May: “Taureans may feel a little conflicted this week as they find themselves in a stable, safe and peaceful period of life, whilst wishing for just a little more excitement. Rather than searching for a single big adventure, look at several smaller ways to add some thrills to your life that won’t necessarily rock the boat too much.

“As the week continues, you begin to feel a new sense of confidence – use it to make small positive changes to your life in ways that you may not have considered before. Why not start off by being more adventurous with new food, or adding a little more colour to your wardrobe?”

Gemini: 21st May – 20th June: “An opportunity presents itself to you this week but you seem wary about accepting it. A discussion with family and friends may help you see the full picture better.

“Listen to what others have to say, and see where their enthusiasm lies. If it isn’t right for you at the present, you may be able to negotiate more time, or better terms. As the weekend approaches, be willing to allow others to take control and make plans on your behalf. A romantic date could be the distraction you need right now.”

Cancer : 21st June – 22nd July: “Those around you seem determined to control your moves and moods this week – and perhaps they have your best interests in mind, but you don’t need to take directions from anyone. It’s a good time to break away from your usual routine, do your own thing, and discover that there is much more than you’ve been led to believe.

“Look out for others in a similar situation to you, and learn from them. A news article, social media post or a casual conversation could bring possibilities to your life, when you are ready to take action.”

Leo: 23rd July – 22nd August: “The Sun leaves Leo this week, and that is likely to bring a short period of apathy for the more physical activities you usually enjoy. You may feel more at ease taking part in more intellectual events, but this is likely to exclude others.

“Look for new ways to combine your need for the cerebral with exercise, and shake any negative feelings off as soon as possible. By the weekend you should be feeling far more enthusiastic, and may even find a new hobby that allows you to spend time with those you care about.”

Virgo: 23rd August – 22nd September: “The Sun enters your sign on Thursday, and whilst that may usually bring a sudden burst of positivity and productivity, this may be slightly dampened by Mercury’s activities right now. It may take a few false starts before you get to where you want to be, but don’t be put off.

“If you are struggling to focus on the important and mundane areas of your life, don’t be shy about swapping a pen and keyboard for something more creative. Where home and social situations are concerned, It isn’t the week to simply go with the first thought that comes into your mind. Explore every possibility before deciding on what you want to do, and enjoy the adventure.”

Libra: 23rd September – 22nd October: “Not everything will go as planned for Librans this week, as you see issues, false starts and setbacks that are partly due to a lack of experience and knowledge. But don’t let this put you off.

“Everyone has to start somewhere, and demonstrating your strength and determination will not only get you back on the right path, but will also be noticed by those who matter. Embrace any opportunity to learn new skills in new surroundings.

“By next week, you will be far more adept and confident, whilst others look on with interest.”

Scorpio: 23rd October – 21st November: “A busy week awaits you, and you will at times have to put on your best smile to hide your true feelings from those around you, but it will be worth it in the end. This is not a time to ask others for assistance – with some thought you can find all the answers you have been looking for.

“The weekend may bring a surprise invitation, but take your time before accepting. Let your inner wisdom guide you.”

Sagittarius: 22nd November – 21st December: “Sagittarians will find themselves being the voice of reason as tensions rise around them. You may be asked to step in and settle an argument, or speak some sense to someone who has been consistently out of place recently.

“This in turn may stir up feelings or memories for you, and it is important that once you have done your part, you move on, and don’t carry those emotions forward. When it comes to artistic, creative or constructive projects this week, you might find more success by not following the instruction manual completely.

“Sagittarians are the sign most likely to be lucky in matters of romance this week.”

Capricorn: 22nd December – 19th January: “This is probably as much of a warning for other signs, but Capricorns aren’t going to stand for any messing about this week as you decide to take control of various situations that have been irritating you for some time.

“You can now clearly see what needs to be done, and will do whatever it takes to improve your life and surroundings. Those who know you best will recognise that you are being very serious, and the rest will learn very quickly. Don’t get carried away though.

“Once you have shown the world what is what, relax a little and enjoy your much improved way of life.”

Aquarius: 20th January -18th February: “The Sturgeon Full Moon – a Supermoon – appearing in Aquarius on Monday brings a desire for more freedom for the next few days. It is the perfect time to see how trusting your intuition can bring different results.

“Throughout the week you should be on top of your game, and can happily ignore those with a less positive attitude. Long term projects away from work may finally start showing results, and bring ideas for more creative activities.

“Be brave and show the world that you are not as conventional as they might imagine.”

Pisces: 19th February – 20th March: “Time will be a Piscean’s biggest enemy this week, as you find yourself late for several appointments or events. This might be compounded if you are feeling less than motivated, or under appreciated.

“Don’t leave anything to chance. Check any alarms you have set, public transport times etc, and expect last minute changes to timetables and delays to disrupt your plans. On a positive note, you may find some spare time through all this to let your imagination wander, and wildly creative ideas could develop from the dullest of experiences.”
