Your daily horoscope: August 14, 2024

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Mars and Jupiter join forces on your birthday in a way that encourages you to expand your outlook on life and get involved in wider world issues. A cause that is close to your heart will benefit from your outstanding leadership qualities.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Make a point of doing something different over the next 24 hours, something that reminds those around you that you should never be taken for granted. If you break a few rules or shatter a few taboos along the way so much the better!

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

If you want to get on top of your workload today you will have to start at the crack of dawn and labour through until after the sun has gone down. If you put in a serious effort now the rest of the week should be easygoing.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

With Mars and Jupiter joining forces in your birth sign today nothing and no one can stand in your way – you are an irresistible force and there is not an immovable object in sight. Get moving and don’t stop until you have reached your goal.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

It may be true that someone is talking behind your back but what of it? It’s only words and words can only hurt you if you allow them to. Besides, friends and work colleagues are unlikely to be taken in by a rival’s obvious lies.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

The current cosmic picture is geared to getting things done as part of a team and if you are willing to put your ego aside today there is no limit to what you can accomplish with like-minded people at your side – and it’s the winning side.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

It is a sad fact of life that some people never seem to learn from their mistakes, but what occurs today will force a friend or relative to look at the world from a different angle and then start making changes. Help them make those changes if you can.

Missed one of your horoscopes? Here are the most recent days’ forecasts:

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

Time is not a factor as far as your aims and ambitions are concerned, so don’t put needless pressure on yourself by constantly looking at the clock. Decide what it is that needs to get done and then just do it regardless of the hour.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

If a friend or loved one takes you into their confidence over the next 24 hours you must make sure you keep their secrets. If you accidentally let slip what they have told you it’s unlikely they will ever feel able to trust you again.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

You may be tempted to cover up for a friend who has got themselves in a spot of trouble but the planets indicate it would be better for them in the long-term if you refuse to get involved. On this occasion let them sort it out for themselves.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

Bear in mind today that not everyone is as mentally strong as you are and that some people crack more easily than others in pressure situations. On the work front especially you may have to step in and assist a colleague who is on the verge of panic.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

A Mars-Jupiter union in the most dynamic area of your chart will endow you with endless energy and self-belief. Identify the goal that means the most to you and aim to reach it in hours and days rather than weeks and months. It CAN be done.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

There could be a few disruptions today and friends and loved ones are likely to be touchy in the extreme. Promise yourself that no matter what they might say or do you won’t overreact. They don’t mean it and you don’t need to let it hurt you.
