Fiery Mars in Cancer, the zodiac’s sign of home, family and emotional comfort, warms this week’s winter of discontent as it draws towards glorious spring… Here’s your weekly horoscope for 10 to 16 August 2026.
Aries, Mar 21–Apr 21
If your ruler Mars stirs up unrest in your base of operations, remember that Mars works best with movement, so get out and about and look for a fresh perspective. On the plus side, this go-for-it cycle could inspire reno projects or a new work-from-home initiative.

Gemini, May 22–Jun 22
Geminis are likely to quite enjoy this week’s humorous histrionics and amusing antics as all part of life’s moving show.

Cancer, Jun 23–Jul 23
With motivating Mars directing its energy to your home zone and operational base, this week favours domestic activities including cooking, gardening, housework, decluttering and family gatherings to maintain or restore a sense of kinship and connection. Also for celebrating a subsequent sense of achievement with unexpected guests.

Leo, Jul 24–Aug 23
With a trio of planets in your vibrant sign, passion’s in fashion and you’re appropriately enthusiastic. Also probably pretty insistent, but don’t sabotage promising possibilities by being too pushy. When you sense others withdraw, back off a notch and let this peak week work its magic for you.

Libra, Sep 24–Oct 23
Yes, people could be over the top self-absorbed this week, taking up all available air space, and that can be annoying. On the other hand (favourite Libran phrase), if you simply flatter them and sing their praises, they’ll be much more inclined to do what you want them to.

Objectivity can be difficult when people are being rigidly opiniated.
