your stars
For the week 3 - 9 August, with Russell Grant
LEO
24 July – 23 August
An unexpected offer or opportunity will mean Leos like A Star is Born actor, Sam Elliot, and Sex Education’s Gillian Anderson may need to make some changes they will find exciting. After all, it isn’t good to get stuck in a restrictive, confining role. So don't be afraid to take every chance that comes your way.
SCORPIO
24 October – 22 November
A close friend or relative has their heart set on long-term plans. You aren’t as enthusiastic, but you don’t want to admit this. It’s because this relationship is so important to you that it will be worth making a small sacrifice in offering your support. You can always catch up on your own intentions later.
AQUARIUS
21 January – 19 February
The fulfilment you seek will come from your family life and friendships. You have always placed a high value on peace, harmony, love and understanding in all relationships. Currently you feel you have got the balance right and the pleasure you are getting out of your friendships reflects this fact.
TAURUS
21 April – 21 May
Changes in a close relationship will make you slightly anxious and unsettled. It isn’t over between you just because your partner is suggesting alternatives to plans already made. Once you’ve had a chance to think about it, other ideas and options will seem more attractive and you will understand why they were suggested.
VIRGO
24 August – 23 September
Whether you’re at the start of a new relationship or deeply involved with someone special, it is still good to get out and about and to pursue independent interests. Don’t waste all your energy by devoting yourself to one person only. Spend time with friends. Meet up online or meet in person if this possible. Socialise.
SAGITTARIUS
23 November – 21 December
You’ve always been adventurous and it hasn’t been easy to curb this side of your personality through this pandemic. Don’t be surprised to find yourself gripped by a desire to see what the other side of the hill looks like. Is the grass greener over there? Or are you best staying where you are? There's only one way to find out.
PISCES
20 February – 20 March
There’s an important decision you have to make, and this won’t be easy. Make an extra effort to concentrate and don’t be distracted by the gossip around you. Tension felt in the home early on will dissolve very quickly. The romantic tide is about to turn in your favour - make the most of the ride.
GEMINI
22 May – 21 June
Social events and activities will bring a lot of pleasure. A trip with friends will stay in your memory for a long time. You might come up with a great way to make a close relationship more exciting. Whatever you are up to, it’s going to be a lot of fun and your partner will be delighted to let you call the tune. Enjoy every moment.
LIBRA
24 September – 23 October
The cost of a recent decision is starting to prey on your mind. It isn’t so much the cost in financial terms, but rather, what you may have given up in terms of future hopes and dreams. If you have put too much effort into pleasing others that you’ve forgotten about your own needs, rectify this now.
CAPRICORN
22 December – 20 January
Maybe you shouldn’t build your hopes up too high but when you sense you are in for a good week ahead, trust your intuition. Relationships will be happy and harmonious. Your partner or a close friend will be feeling big-hearted and you seem to be the special target for their love and generosity.
ARIES
21 March – 20 April
There’s some uncertainty in romance. You are starting to feel you can’t continue like this anymore. By Wednesday you will have made your feelings plain. This will also help to clear the air. Your other half will be as pleased and as relieved as you are. Listening to music and walks in nature will lift your spirits.
CANCER
22 June – 23 July
It's time to stop making excuses for staying in a bad situation. You deserve better. You need to love and respect yourself. It is time to realise your potential and recognise yourself for the wonderful person you are. This belief - and responsibility - is the approach to take to forge a happier, healthier path. Take the initiative and you won’t look back.
