Russell Grant's horoscopes as Capricorn finds themselves struggling
Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)
Finishing a task on schedule is essential for your professional success. If you realise there's a chance you might miss a deadline, inform all those who may be affected by this, as early as you can. While this information may not be welcomed, it allows others to create an alternative plan.
Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21)
You would love to cosy-up at home with your partner, but social commitments are beckoning. Missing a party might upset a friend. Gather your energy, dress up nicely, and go out. Once you get there, you will quickly find yourself enjoying the atmosphere.
Gemini (May 22 - June 21)
Before making any large purchases, check your bank balance. You may have forgotten about an automatic annual payment or overlooked a big bill. Even if you can afford a pricey item, hold off for a few days before making the purchase. Saving your money will give you some extra flexibility in the future.
Cancer (June 22 - July 23)
Home is where your heart lies, but work demands your attention. You have little choice but to attend to outside commitments. Once you get these out of the way you will be ready to unwind and enjoy some well-deserved relaxation. Allow your loved ones to spoil you.
Leo (July 24 - Aug 23)
When a friend comes to you with their problems, all of a sudden concerns that have been on your mind will appear quite small. You have always been generous and giving and by following this natural instinct, you will attract good luck. An opportunity to learn from a respected mentor is on the cards.
Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23)
You've always been good at bringing structure to disorder. No one makes order out of chaos better than you. Taking charge of a group of imaginative yet scattered people will be an exciting challenge for you. You will receive generous compensation for your efforts just as long as you negotiate a fair salary.
Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23)
You are trying too hard to please other people. You're under a lot of pressure from your peers. Remember, you can't keep everyone happy. In which case, it would be better to do what feels right for you. If someone complains about your choices, remind them to concentrate on their own life.
Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)
If you want to help make a difference to your community, start a program to support those In need. You genuinely care for others and hate to see anyone suffering. By tapping into your wide social connections, you will be able to make a positive impact.
Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)
You're feeling playful, energetic and keen to socialise. Take this chance to spend some quality time with your loved ones and friends. Treat yourselves to a delicious meal or visit a favourite place together. Breaking free from the daily grind will feel refreshing.
Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)
If you find yourself struggling, don't be too proud to admit it. There are people with more expertise who would gladly step in to help. It might take some time to fully understand a task, so just be patient. Usually, you pick things up quickly, but this particular job has many subtleties that may require extra time.
Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)
It has always been important for you to be able to help friends and family when they need you but don't be too quick, today, to come to someone's rescue. A friend who often gets themselves into trouble is starting to rely on you too much. Encourage them to stand on their own two feet.
Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)
You may not get the chance you were hoping for to display your skills. It might feel as if you have been sidelined but don't give up. Although working behind the scenes isn't what you had been planning, you will gain some important information by staying quiet and watching what's happening around you.

Gladiators star recalls 'special' moments with newborn son before heartbreaking death
Zack George, better known to Gladiator fans as Steel, has shared the heartbreaking "special" moments he shared with his newborn son Leo before he sadly passed away Gladiators star Zack George has bravely opened up about the "special" moments he shared with his newborn son before he sadly passed away. Baby Leo was born prematurely earlier this year and spent 13 courageous days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Leicester Hospital before tragically passing away. During those 13 days, the George family witnessed firsthand the extraordinary care and compassion of the NICU staff. In response, Zack and his wife Samantha have founded Leo & Friends, a baby loss awareness charity aimed at providing vital support to other families enduring similar heartache, while also recognising and equipping the NICU teams who work tirelessly to care for premature and critically ill babies. Appearing on Saturday's (August 16) episode of BBC Breakfast, the couple spoke to hosts Charlie Stayt and Luxmy Gopal about the "really special" moments they shared with Leo before he passed away. Zack explained: "I didn't actually hold him for the first days. "A really special moment is that when he was in the incubator and his oxygen levels dipped or his blood pressure dipped, if we were sitting next to him and we touched him and was speaking with him, we would instantly see his stats improve. "I think that was a really special moment, he knew who his mum and dad were and he knew you were there." Zack later revealed that he's taking on the 13 Days Fighting' Burpee Challenge in memory of little Leo which will consist of completing a mile of burpees every day for 13 consecutive days, from August 18 until 30 this year, across an array of different locations across the UK. The challenge is proudly supported by Currys, who will be joining Zack on his journey to raise awareness and funds for the Leicester Hospital NICU. In addition to their support, Currys will be donating up to £5,000 worth of tech equipment for family and staff rooms within the unit, helping create a more comfortable and supportive environment for both parents and healthcare workers. The funds raised through the 13-day challenge will go towards equipment, support services, and improvements to the NICU at Leicester Hospital - the hospital that gave Leo his 13 precious days and cared for him around the clock. For more information about the challenge, how to get involved or to donate, please visit BBC Breakfast airs daily on BBC One at 6am

HOROSCOPES: Which star sign needs to follow their intuition this week?
LEO 24 July-23 Aug As your season winds down, take a bow. The cosmic spotlight may be shifting but your efforts haven't gone unnoticed. The Sun's entry into Virgo asks: what will you build now, with all that you gathered? Time to plant the golden seeds into fertile ground. CALL 0905 789 0405* VIRGO 24 Aug-23 Sept Here it comes: the Sun in your sign. This offers you regenerative energy, which helps you return to your true self. If you've felt stretched or lost lately, this week begins the process of a powerful realignment. Something real is ready to flourish now. CALL 0905 789 0406* LIBRA 24 Sept-23 Oct Sometimes, in order to recalibrate you must first retreat. With the Sun entering Virgo, the world gets a little quieter and your inner voice gets clearer. This week isn't about action, it's about quiet edits and subtle nudges. Let your intuition make the next move. CALL 0905 789 0407* SCORPIO 24 Oct-22 Nov You're ready to take something further, but you're wise enough not to rush. As the Sun moves into Virgo, strategy becomes your strength. This week reminds you that impact isn't always loud: the most transformative moves are often quiet, but sure. CALL 0905 789 0408* SAGITTARIUS 23 Nov-21 Dec The mood is shifting from play to purpose, but that doesn't mean fun disappears. This week you begin to find pleasure in precision as the cosmos encourages a sensible approach. The Sun's move helps you focus your energy where it counts. There is power in presence. CALL 0905 789 0409* CAPRICORN 22 Dec-20 Jan The Sun in Virgo speaks your language. Structure. Planning. Subtle mastery. Yet even Capricorns need moments to loosen up and live a little. Venus in Cancer is encouraging intimacy – follow an impulse before things get more serious. Don't skip the fun you deserve. CALL 0905 789 0410* AQUARIUS 21 Jan-19 Feb You've been juggling abstract ideas and re-evaluating where you stand in your relationships. Now, a more practical rhythm is being restored.

Relationship dynamics sharpen – and you'll see where mutual understanding can take root and blossom. CALL 0905 789 0412* ARIES 21 March-20 April You've been infused with restless feelings recently and though that fire has not gone out, it is ready to be channelled effectively this week.

CALL 0905 789 0402* GEMINI 22 May-21 June There's thinking, and then there's overthinking. You've dabbled in both lately. But this week, as the Sun shifts into Virgo, you start to organise your thoughts rather than spin them in endless circles. Focus will find you just when you are ready for refreshment. CALL 0905 789 0403* CANCER 22 June-23 July You've been stretched beyond your comfort zone but it hasn't been in vain. This week brings a moment to pause and process. The Sun's shift into Virgo helps you express what has been in your heart with more confidence – and helps others to really listen. CALL 0905 789 0404*

Today's horoscope for August 16 as Libra is surprised by a colleague
Today's horoscope for August 16 as one star sign expresses themselves freely, and another lends their support to others It's Saturday, August 16, and one star sign trusts their own business instincts, as another is feeling energised. There are 12 zodiac signs - Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces - and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more. These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here's what today could bring for your horoscope - and what you can do to be prepared. Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20) Creative activities can help ease stress. It isn't healthy to aim your energy solely into your job and other responsibilities. Although you find success and satisfaction through your work, life is more than just making a living. You have a wonderful artistic flair, enjoy using this now. Tap into your creativity. Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21) You're looking for ways to expand your horizons. Pursuing a higher degree is an option, as is travelling abroad or getting your writing published. The key is to step out of your comfort zone. While you might feel safe and content, true growth comes from broadening your experiences. Gemini (May 22 - June 21) After a good night's sleep you're feeling mentally energised. You're eager to dive straight into a job that has been planned for today. It's a great time too, to start on new projects but to achieve success you will be expected to create thoughtful plans and forecasts. Cancer (June 22 - July 23) A possessive friend thinks they can make decisions for you. Don't allow anyone to control you completely. Show them that while you're giving them some influence over your life, you will stand your ground when necessary. Take pride in making someone else feel valued. Leo (July 24 - Aug 23) Everyone seems to want your company. It's hard to keep up with all the demands and invitations coming your way and you are loving it. Enjoy your time in the spotlight without feeling guilty about it. Express your emotions freely, flirt, have fun and relax. Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23) There are daily tasks waiting for your attention. You like to keep on top of your routine and yet there are family matters that also need to be dealt with. Although these were not on your agenda, sometimes you have to accept that you don't have control of everything. Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23) You're surprised by a friend or colleague's suggestion to approach things in a different way. This person is usually very predictable. They are always on time, no matter what plans you have made together and they value routine. Now suddenly they want something new and you are happy to encourage this. Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22) You're ready to have a break from serious work. It is time to relax. That's why you are looking into booking a holiday. It won't be easy to get in touch with someone who you know would like to travel with you. Keep trying and by the end of the day they will respond to your invitation as you are expecting. Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21) Be cautious about what you reveal in a business partnership. If you are thinking about launching your own venture, you need more time to plan. Once you have a solid business plan and clear mission statement, you will be ready to set off on your own. Trust your instincts and business sense. Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20) You will be glad of the help that's being offered by people with more experience. Mistakes are a natural part of learning. As you become more comfortable with this task or topic, then you will be in a position to assist others. Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19) Your intuition is telling you to keep out of the spotlight. A partner, whether in business or romance, is hoping to spend more time with you. They have something on their mind they want to discuss. You will want to keep any personal struggles to yourself for now as you offer support to others. Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20) Observing from behind the scenes will equip you for a high profile position that will be available soon. By then you will be ready to tackle any challenges that come our way. Look at this as a training phase. An arrogant competitor will face some humiliation. This is a mistake you will never make.
