Horoscopes today – Russell Grant’s star sign forecast for August 24

Aries

A creative challenge is just what you need to get something new and different out of your day. Enjoy this opportunity to share your imaginative ideas. Getting started on a home or garden project will not only be good exercise, it will be good for your mental health and well-being.

Taurus

A new friend or partner has expensive tastes. It gives you a lot of pleasure to give them what they ask for but fancy gifts will not buy their loyalty. The best relationships you can have are the ones where people are interested in you and not what you can give them.

Gemini

You’re tempted to start on a new project while you have the energy or to end old conditions in preparation for something new. Anything that is work related or that involves other people should run fairly smoothly. In fact, a joint arrangement entered into today will be the start of the success you have been aiming for.

Cancer

Because you have done it many times before, you feel obliged to help someone out even though you don’t really want to. There’s no question about it, you will make the effort again today but you are starting to feel they’re taking advantage of your caring nature.

Leo

Problems that crop up at home will be resolved, all thanks to your hard work and determination. You’re eager to get your house in order. This will mean making a start on improving your living conditions as well as putting any strained relationships in the family back on an even footing.

Virgo

You’re being far too critical of yourself and others. You may need to remind yourself that you’re only human and it’s okay to make mistakes. Instead of letting small errors get you down, try to learn from them and use the experience to tackle other challenges that come your way.

Libra

You’ve found the perfect opportunity to get out, get involved and meet new neighbours. A community exercise will not only be fun, you will feel you are doing something useful through helping out. A family issue will be unavoidably neglected. A housemate will not want to hear your excuses.

Scorpio

Getting on with your usual weekend chores will not sound very appealing compared with the fun you could be having on the social scene. There’s no real contest. You will be more than happy to push everyday chores aside for some other time to enjoy the social atmosphere that now surrounds you.

Sagittarius

You will get a lot of satisfaction from working together with like-minded others and getting results. A joint effort will make all the difference and this will show itself most in the working environment where any problem or issue will be dealt with faster when you work with colleagues as a cooperative team.

Capricorn

You’ve been allowing other people to offload their problems onto you and this is starting to weigh you down. Colleagues have been taking advantage of your kind nature and this is getting out of hand. If others know you will hold their troubles for them they won’t even try to solve their own problems. This ought to stop now.

Aquarius

Someone close will complain that you haven’t been spending enough time together recently. There has been too much going on for you to fit them into your busy schedule. Plans you are now making involving a partner will more than make up for their perceived neglect.

Pisces

It may have been tempting in the past to run away and hide from problems that faced you. Now that you have distanced yourself from the matter and you’ve been able to recoup your energy, you feel more confident about tackling worrying issues.
