Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday 9th August 2011

.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Your attitude towards family is undergoing radical changes. In the past, you went above and beyond for relatives in need. Lately you've lost sympathy for a family member who keeps getting in trouble. Loaning money or providing an alibi will only compound their difficulties and could make life difficult for you. Stay out of this mess and turn your attention to more productive matters. Channel your anger into an extensive home improvement project.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Nervous energy threatens to consume you. When your muscles start tightening and breath gets short, you've got to tell yourself to calm down. Draw a bath, get a massage, or make something with your hands. Doing something inventive and creative will take your mind off your troubles. You're a very sensual person, and take great pleasure in working with tactile materials. Steer clear of a colleague who is always trying to stir up controversy.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) You're tired of being overlooked. Unfortunately, attempts at distinguishing yourself from the crowd will be perceived as showing off. Keep a low profile and remain patient. You'll soon have an opportunity to demonstrate your talent, provided you keep your ego in check. Resist the urge to buy an expensive status symbol. The momentary charge it gives isn't worth the cost. Devote your energy to more fulfilling activities, like writing, reading, and studying.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Taking an unconventional approach will garner lots of publicity, but it will also lead to embarrassment. You're better off adopting subtle, time honoured methods. Granted, nobody will give you a prize for originality. Still, it's more important to maintain steady business than make a huge splash. You're frustrated by the constraints being placed on you. If you demonstrate an ability to play by the rules you'll eventually get the green light to try something new.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) You're having a hard time working with someone whose views are very different to your own. Instead of trying to enact some grand conversion, leave well enough alone. Focus on the duties at hand and avoid sensitive topics like religion and politics like the plague. The two of you don't have to agree with each other, but you should be respectful. If a colleague continues to make digs at your own philosophies, tell them to stop. People will rally to your side if they carry on.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) The emotional support you need isn't forthcoming. Your partner thinks your plans are too risky, and is ready to say 'I told you so' at the first sign of failure. It's probably best to keep your plans a secret, at least for the time being. If you're contemplating truly risky behaviour, ask yourself why. Putting your safety or money on the line is a sign something is wrong. Find ways of taking creative risks that won't endanger your physical or financial health.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Arguments continue to disrupt an intimate relationship. It's time to get a little distance from each other, if only for the short term future. You're susceptible to other people's attention right now. A high powered executive will try flirting with you at a party or work gathering. Whilst it's flattering to be singled out this way, you don't want to do anything to jeopardise your partnership. Revel in the sensation of being admired, but don't act on your sexual impulses.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) You're getting burned out from work. When this happens, you have a tendency to double your efforts, instead of taking a break. Force yourself to turn off your computer and mobile at the official end of the day. Go somewhere you won't be disturbed by requests for help. Listen to soothing sounds like birdsong, water flowing, or crickets chirping. If you live in a big metropolis, get a recording that replicates these sounds so you can unwind wherever you are.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) The magic has gone out of a romantic relationship, and you don't know why. Part of the reason is you haven't been attentive to your partner's needs. Learn the art of intimate listening. If your lover needs more foreplay or tender gestures, tailor your technique accordingly. Alternatively, your amour may want to spice things up. At first, you'll feel a little silly taking direction in the bedroom. When you get an enthusiastic response you won't feel so foolish.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) An erratic relative is creating stress in your personal life. You must defend the honour of your best friend or lover. If you don't, you'll be doing your loved one a terrible disservice. Although you place a great importance on family, there has to be a limit to their influence. Your pleas for privacy will fall on deaf ears at first. When this happens, you have to cut off communication for the short term future. Or you'll keep getting meddling phone calls and text messages.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) A hypercritical neighbour or relative gets on your nerves. You're tired of hearing their helpful hints on weight loss, exercise, and nutrition. Unfortunately, the pest in question has no idea how annoyed you really are. You've got to draw a clear boundary. Beware of letting anger creep into your request for space. If you sound defensive, you'll just fuel their fire and put yourself in line for even more helpful hints. Cool rationality wins the day.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You're not getting paid what you are worth, which really irks you. It's frustrating to see less talented people pull in bigger salaries. To remedy the situation, you have to be your own advocate. Call a meeting with your boss, look for a higher paying position, or raise your rates. If you need an official certification, get one, even if it means going back to the classroom. You may have lots of impressive experience, but these days, employers want the added assurance of a diploma or license.
