Horoscopes today – Russell Grant’s star sign forecast for August 17

Aries

Some positive and inspiring discussions online and in person will boost your mood. When you receive positive feedback from others, you are more likely to contribute to a team effort. With a supportive network behind you, you feel ready to give it your best shot.

Taurus

You can’t shake off a feeling that you aren’t experiencing the best things in life. Something is missing and you are looking now for a new challenge. There will be some extra work involved in new responsibilities but you are more than ready to get your teeth into something new.

Gemini

You have two career paths in front of you and you’re uncertain about which one to take. To be true to yourself you need to follow your passion. Taking a leap of faith is necessary for great things to happen. Support is out there if you seek it. Keeping a positive attitude is key.

Cancer

It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to understand the struggles a friend is going through. Don’t hesitate to lend them a shoulder to learn on. Use your own past experiences to offer meaningful help and advice to someone who is going through a tough time.

Leo

You’re trying your hardest to handle a tense situation. The best approach will be to let go of past misunderstandings and suggest making a fresh start. Even if you suspect someone is keeping information from you, it’s pointless asking for details they have no intention of sharing.

Virgo

Keep a low profile and avoid people or groups that are looking for trouble. If you find yourself in an argument with a friend or partner, this doesn’t necessarily mean the end of your relationship. Every friendship has its share of highs and lows.

Libra

You will feel you have no choice but to prioritise paying a bill your partner or another loved one has reminded you about. If you’ve been careless with your cash recently, this will have made you feel guilty. To avoid getting distracted and taking longer to finish your chores, think about switching off your phone and locking the door.

Scorpio

Not much is going on which is disappointing when you were expecting to make some progress. Some events will be unsettling. Gossip you hear puts you on the alert even though it will turn out to be unfounded. Competitors are trying to shake your confidence.

Sagittarius

Some people might find a mistake funny and amusing, others won’t see it in quite the same way. Watch how others react and be careful about your own response. Even so, a few comical moments will bring some laughter to the day. Just be sure to wait until you are alone before bursting into laughter.

Capricorn

It will come as some surprise to you how a friendship can take years to reveal its true colours. Opening up to the possibility of rejection is never easy and the most painful part is when a close friend or partner decides to move on. It is becoming apparent they have intentionally kept their long-term goals hidden from you.

Aquarius

Exciting times are ahead for you. From now on you have a chance to steer the course of a team project. A creative talent usually reserved for your free time can now shine in a professional setting. Showcasing your abilities will not only reveal how capable you are, it will also transform your life.

Pisces

You won’t believe that you are finally receiving the green light to start a project that has been delayed multiple times before. Most people know you for your quiet and calm nature but today is the day to take a bolder approach. Open up about what you really want and watch as a relationship takes on a whole new significance.
