HOROSCOPES

What kind of day will today be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Friday, Aug. 6, 2021

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

If you have an important choice to make, try not to let boredom or restlessness be the motivating force behind it. Let your heart guide you instead.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

A long-held belief may be holding you back more than it's helping you move forward, especially if it's rooted in family tradition. Adopt a fresh perspective.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

You might be feeling unsure of yourself today, leaving you second-guessing what you have to offer. What you have to offer is originality. Let it shine through.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

You're better off on your own rather than trying to fit in where you don't belong or holding on to a connection that's run its course. Be free.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)

It's time to walk away from a job or project that you've hit a wall with or have outgrown. There's something better for you. Seek it out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

Try not to let the fear of uncertainty derail you today. You can get your goals accomplished. Just be mindful of rushing yourself or the process.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

The best laid plans are best kept secret. If you really want to make an impact or an impression, use the element of surprise to your advantage.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

You're discovering that you and someone else are on two very different pages. Consider this your cue to say your goodbyes and forge your own path.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

"Less is more" is the theme of the day as you're encouraged to drop things from your life that no longer hold value. Donating used items is one option.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

Although it could feel unsettling, it's time to push your fears aside and take a chance on a romantic connection or a budding relationship. You have nothing to lose.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

It might be time to let bygones be bygones with someone, if only to free yourself of holding a grudge. No need to carry that weight around anymore.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

If you feel like you've been in a rut, you're called to shake up your routine and incorporate some new activities into your schedule. Make learning and adventure a priority.

YOU BORN TODAY: You're sensitive and empathetic, even if you don't always like revealing how you feel. Though when you do let your guard down with someone, you're more than happy to share that tender side of yourself. Your intuition is often spot-on, and because of your foresight, you're never far from achieving your goals. As a creative dreamer, you can heal the world with your gifts, like with music or writing. Although it's important that you have enough alone time to explore your rich imagination. This year, as inspiration strikes, you could find fame or recognition through your passions or something you create.
