Today's horoscope for August 13 as Aquarius is told to focus on their own needs
It's Wednesday, August 13th, and one star sign has been told to focus on their own needs.
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)
You need to feel you are using your time, energy and skills in a way that is useful. If current commitments give you no satisfaction, this is a great time to start something new. You don't even have to do this on your own because there is someone close by who is also looking for something different to do.
Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21)
Even though you will prefer to remain behind the scenes, this should not stop you from missing out on a special work assignment. Send a message to the boss to let them know you are interested. When they see you're happy to quietly push on in the background, they will be keen to take you up on this offer.
Gemini (May 22 - June 21)
You may not be ready yet to make any changes but you will be keen to look into new financial arrangements, scan job vacancies in your area or come up with better ways to manage your finances, belongings and assets. Ideas today will be put into practice tomorrow.
Cancer (June 22 - July 23)
Your energy gets a boost and this is all due to you feeling so positive and enthusiastic about a project that is about to be launched. Despite a strong need to take action you will still be careful to avoid making assumptions. This helps you steer clear of difficult people and unexpected obstacles.
Leo (July 24 - Aug 23)
All is going well for you now. Your family is supportive in helping you overcome challenges and colleagues are equally as considerate. You have a new job or project to tackle and because of the positive energy around you, it is bound to be a success.
Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23)
Turn your attention to finances and you could notice new options and opportunities to increase your income or earn some extra cash. Additionally, the resourceful approach you are putting into everything could help you find new uses for items you already own.
Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23)
You want to prove you are capable of handling a difficult task but you don't have to struggle alone. If you need some help, reach out to an older relative or colleague. They will also give you some valuable advice on budgeting, resolving misunderstandings and overcoming a creative challenge.
Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)
You're keen to join others in launching a new project that might improve your professional situation and boost your reputation. You have some great ideas to contribute and these will attract positive feedback. This provides you with the confidence and drive to succeed.
Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)
You want something more out of life and that means escaping a restrictive situation. If this relates to your job, it is time to start applying for a new one. Although there is some tension in the home, this will soon pass. Try to stay positive and don't reveal the frustration you are feeling beneath the surface.
Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)
If you've been spending too much time alone, get involved in community efforts by volunteering. Reach out to friends more widely. Come out from behind the scenes in the workplace and show an interest in a colleague's concerns. News received later in the day will provide some financial relief.
Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)
You don't want to make waves in relationships but someone is starting to make too many demands on your time. Focus on your own needs today and by doing so you will prevent other people from dictating your actions. Spend some time this evening, reflecting and organising your thoughts.
Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)
You've put a lot of thought into it and you are ready to put plans into action. You will gain support from your colleagues, supervisor and friends. How can they not feel inspired by your incredible ideas? You are also finding new ways to tackle routine tasks.

Winklevoss twins' Gemini reveals lower revenue and wider loss in US IPO filing
Aug 15 (Reuters) - Gemini's revenue fell and losses widened in the first half of 2025, the cryptocurrency exchange said in a U.S. IPO filing, joining a wave of digital-asset firms seeking to tap public markets. Terms of the offering were not disclosed in the filing, made public on Friday. The company reported a net loss of $282.5 million on a total revenue of $68.6 million in the six months ended June 30, compared with a net loss of $41.4 million on a revenue of $74.3 million year earlier. U.S. IPO activity has rebounded in recent months following a slowdown earlier this year caused by uncertainty over trade policy changes, with several new listings drawing strong investor demand. Digital asset companies have also featured prominently in the IPO market in recent months, including blockbuster debuts from stablecoin issuer Circle (CRCL.N), opens new tab and cryptocurrency exchange Bullish (BLSH.N), opens new tab. Bullish's debut on Wednesday made it the second listed cryptocurrency exchange in the country after Coinbase Global (COIN.O), opens new tab. Gemini will become the third public crypto exchange once it goes public. "The question for investors regarding Gemini revolves around the business mix and moat of trading versus custody, how they differentiate on trust and growth, and what they do that Coinbase can't copy by Tuesday," said Michael Ashley Schulman, partner and CIO at Running Point Capital. Gemini said it will use IPO proceeds for general corporate purposes and to repay all or part of its third-party debt. The exchange also supports stablecoins on its platform, a segment that has drawn attention following last month's signing of the GENIUS Act, a new U.S. law establishing a regulatory framework for stablecoins. Gemini issues the Gemini Dollar (GUSD), a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar. The company, which also supports more than 70 cryptocurrencies and operates in over 60 countries, confidentially filed for an IPO in June. Gemini, which was founded in 2014 by billionaire twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, plans to list on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "GEMI." Goldman Sachs and Citigroup are acting as lead bookrunners. The Winklevoss twins rose to prominence after suing Facebook (META.O), opens new tab, and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg, alleging he stole their idea for the social network. They settled in 2008 for cash and Facebook stock. Regulatory clarity under the Trump administration, rising institutional adoption, and increasing ETF inflows have bolstered investor confidence and helped integrate crypto into mainstream finance. In a watershed moment for the industry, Coinbase became the first blockchain-focused company to join the S&P 500 earlier this year. Block (XYZ.N), opens new tab, which facilitates bitcoin purchases, joined the index in July. The shift marks a turnaround for an industry that spent more than a decade under heavy regulatory scrutiny worldwide. "We've seen a shift from speculation to sustainability. Institutional investors are looking for proof points - real clients, regulated products, and long-term market alignment. This is how the sector matures, and it will likely set the stage for other crypto firms keen to list their shares," said Nick Jones, founder of crypto firm Zumo.
