Today's horoscope for August 16 as Libra is surprised by a colleague
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.

I removed breast implants after terrifying cancer scare, reveals This Morning's Josie Gibson as she tells of her ordeal
THIS Morning star Josie Gibson has revealed she went through a terrifying cancer scare after finding a large lump in her breast. She discovered it was related to one of her breast implants and had them both removed. 4 Talking about the 2023 ordeal for the first time, Josie, 40, told the Sun on Sunday: 'I had a big lump underneath my left boob and I was getting really worried about it. 'You could actually see it protruding — you could see the breast had changed shape, so I was getting a little bit frightened. 'So I went to my GP and he had a feel around — it was my breast implant. I went and I had them out and, for me, it was one of the best things I've done.' Josie, a regular presenter on the ITV show, had a breast enhancement operation in 2013 to take her from a B cup to a DD. But she has no regrets about having them removed ten years on, insisting she now has 'peace of mind'. It has inspired Josie to join forces with tombola bingo and charity Breast Cancer Now for their new 'eyes down, check up' campaign. Josie has been busy pounding the streets for the campaign, which aims to raise awareness of symptoms and changes to watch out for, as well as raise up to £1million for charity. She said: 'We only ever talk about breast cancer when something bad happens. Let's make it part of the conversation.' Josie, who launched diet website Slimmables in 2015, is also now busy renovating her £1.1million home outside Bath, living in a caravan on site. And the star, who found fame on Big Brother in 2010, revealed the stress of the project has left her going grey. Tombola in Partnership with Breast Cancer Now She said: 'Basically, I've just made my life a lot more stressful. Put it this way, I've been dying my hair.' Hands-on Josie is getting stuck into the renovation with the help of family and pals and jokes: 'I've been doing so much manual labour, I have embraced my inner bloke.' The single mum to Reggie, six, has apple trees on the property and even hopes to make her own cider. She jokes that Jeremy Clarkson, who produces his own Hawkstone Cider, better watch out, adding: 'It's a cider off, Clarkson!' The process will be documented in the proud Bristolian's upcoming ITV series Josie's Taste of the West Country. To find out more about the campaign, visit If you're worried about breast cancer, speak to expert nurses now by calling Breast Cancer Now's free helpline on 0808 800 6000. 4 What are the signs of breast cancer? BREAST cancer is the most common type of cancer in the UK. The majority of women who get it are over 50, but younger women and, in rare cases, men can also get breast cancer. If it's treated early enough, breast cancer can be prevented from spreading to other parts of the body. Breast cancer can have a number of symptoms, but the first noticeable symptom is usually a lump or area of thickened breast tissue. Most breast lumps aren't cancerous, but it's always best to have them checked by your doctor. You should also speak to your GP if you notice any of the following: a change in the size or shape of one or both breasts discharge from either of your nipples (which may be streaked with blood) a lump or swelling in either of your armpits dimpling on the skin of your breasts a rash on or around your nipple a change in the appearance of your nipple, such as becoming sunken into your breast Source: NHS 4

Little Leo arrived prematurely earlier this year and fought bravely for 13 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Leicester Hospital before sadly losing his battle. Throughout those 13 days, the George family saw first-hand the remarkable care and kindness shown by the NICU staff. As a result, Zack and his wife Samantha have established Leo and Friends, a baby loss awareness charity designed to offer crucial support to other families facing similar devastation, whilst also acknowledging and supporting the NICU teams who work relentlessly to care for premature and seriously ill babies.

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."
