Horoscope for the first week of August: Leo, Libra, Virgo and more

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) 

Make important financial and personal decisions without delay. Take a decisive stance in matters that require joint effort. You should leave no room for hesitation. You might notice your focus shifting towards matters of the heart.

Taurus (Apr21/May21)

Friends and neighbours will have a lot to talk about but take most of what they say with a grain of salt. In the workplace, you can stay ahead of the game by updating your skills. It would be best to keep your more innovative ideas to yourself.

Gemini (May22/June21)

A housemate will backtrack on their promise to take on more responsibility in the home. They aren’t paying their share and the money they do offer is not justifiable in the way it is being presented. You need to start protecting your interests.

Cancer (June22/July23)

Transportation delays and technical difficulties can really mess up your plans. Instead of getting frustrated, try to see them as minor inconveniences. Missing a flight or not being able to send an email might actually turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Leo (July24/Aug23) 

Friends, relatives and coworkers will unite whenever teamwork is required. A cooperative effort will get good results. The start of the month will offer a number of chances for you to savour the joys of love and companionship. The 6th will be especially romantic.

Virgo (Aug24/Sept23)

A senior colleague’s refusal to answer probing questions is having a negative effect on overall performance. Disagreements disrupt workplace harmony and plans are delayed. All of these things logically mean you are going more slowly.

Libra (Sept24/Oct23) 

Social connections and online interactions will bring both benefits and enjoyment. You will learn something valuable through some idle chit-chat. While you’re naturally generous, splashing out on an extravagant gift for your partner might backfire.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22)

Social commitments keep you busy. A big event is being arranged and as the intensity increases you could start feeling drained. Sneaking off to a place that nourishes your soul is strongly advised. Take a stroll in the park, pursue painting or gardening or attend a musical concert.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21)

Exploring new areas of your professional life might lead to some great opportunities. You won’t have to make your mind up there and then when someone makes you an exciting offer. Ask for time to think it over. Sharing household tasks can be surprisingly enjoyable.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) 

You will be pleasantly surprised to receive benefits that are rightfully yours that you were previously unaware of. Exciting progress will be made within the household as everyone agrees to devote some time to a home improvement project.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19)

Be attentive, listen to conversations and watch what is going on around you. By doing so you will learn a lot about what motivates a friend or colleague. Don’t presume you have all the answers. At least make an effort to ask questions.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) 

You have a lot of work ahead, but remember you only have one pair of hands. It’s okay if some tasks don’t get done. Putting your health at risk for a deadline is not worth it. Take a moment, around Wednesday, to talk with someone you would normally not have time for.
