Horoscopes today – Russell Grant’s star sign forecast for August 6

Aries

If you’re hoping your boss or an official will back your ideas, a positive approach will be more effective than a negative one. It would be nice to believe others shared your enthusiasm for a new project but you’re starting to realise they are unlikely to give you any support.

Taurus

You’re holding off from making a big decision. It isn’t that you are ignoring the fact that you have a choice to make but it is because you believe there is valuable information being withheld from you and this could assist you in making an informed decision.

Gemini

You are determined to uncover what has been going on to cause tension between you and a partner or close friend. They might tell you nothing is wrong but you disagree. Your approach to expressing emotions has always been sincere, caring and authentic and you expect similar honesty from those who are closest to you.

Cancer

You’re hoping to get quick results but being too forceful with lazy workmates and housemates is not going to get them to like you. Someone will get defensive and refuse to give you any help at all. Stubbornness is causing issues in relationships.

Leo

It can feel as if the Sun that should be shining over your life now is being overshadowed by dark clouds. Your usual positive outlook is clouded by negativity. You are allowing doubts to consume your thoughts and this prevents you from finding peace and making the most of the opportunities that are around you.

Virgo

It’s natural to feel uneasy when you are being teamed up with new colleagues. Someone who is loud and aggressive might seem to pose a threat. You can’t help but wonder how these changes are going to affect your work. Give it time to get used to each other’s ways.

Libra

Sometimes you just have to let go of ideas that are proving to be a waste of time and energy. You were hoping to get started on some home related activities with your family but obstacles, including financial ones, keep getting in the way.

Scorpio

You need to be determined and stay focused if you are to accomplish current goals. By being flexible and making good decisions you will get through more than you had expected to. Those in high places will be supportive and will not impede your progress as you may have been anticipating.

Sagittarius

You may have to restrain your enthusiasm in order to handle a situation where progress is inconsistent. This is mainly due to a workmate’s lack of experience and inefficiency in other departments. Despite not being able to depend on others, you will dedicate long hours to achieve your objectives.

Capricorn

You may be straying from your usual habits and routines but don’t see it as a bad thing. In reality, this could lead to exciting new opportunities you never imagined were possible. All of a sudden you will be made aware of possibilities you hadn’t known existed. Embrace the sense of anticipation this brings.

Aquarius

Arrangements for a big family reunion are going reasonably well. Just be sure to address any potential disagreements with your partner or an older relative to prevent them from escalating. A youngster will have some imaginative ideas but they could be costly to implement.

Pisces

You have always been able to trust your intuition and today will be no exception. Not only can you pick up information from the atmosphere around you but you have the ability to detect problems early and deal with them promptly.
