Russell Grant’s Daily Horoscopes for Friday 5th August 2011

.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You’ve never been very judgmental about friends, preferring to live and let live. Lately a couple of your loved ones have given you cause for concern. You’re worried that associating yourself with them will compromise your own reputation. Get some distance from this group, even at the risk of seeming disloyal. Stay close to a romantic partner who wants the best for you. Collaborating on a creative project will give you an excuse to stay out of trouble.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Lately, you’ve been going with the flow, following whatever opportunities look best. This approach to life has been relaxing, but it hasn’t yielded impressive results. If you’re going to realise a goal, you have to take charge of your living situation. Move to a place that is good for your career. Put an end to a domestic arrangement where your confidence has been undermined. Affiliate yourself with people who are working in your desired industry.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) You’re tired of looking outside yourself for answers. Books, classes, and services have been helpful, but now you’re ready to look inward and draw your own conclusions. Beware of sharing secrets with a relative or neighbour. Although you long to have a heart to heart talk, people have a way being disloyal. You’re better off recording your thoughts in a diary, where you can express yourself freely. Watch anything you post on a blog or social network; it could come back to haunt you.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) It’s important to be vigilant about joint finances. Review all bank and credit card statements. If you see any charges that don’t make sense, call the financial institution in question. You have to protect your own interests. Nobody else will do it for you. If you’re in a relationship with someone who isn’t very responsible with money, open your own bank account. Don’t give your partner access to it. That way, if any problems arise in your relationship, you won’t be left in a precarious situation.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Adopting a more realistic view of relationships is critical. In the past, you’ve had a tendency to see people as either all good or all bad. Everyone has positive and negative traits. The sooner you acknowledge your loved ones are flawed, the more rewarding these unions will be. You might be surprised to learn some of your friends live in fear of letting you down. Being perched on a pedestal is scary. If someone makes a mistake, laugh it off and move forward.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) At long last, some job offers are coming your way. Although these positions won’t be very prestigious, they will bring a steady income. One of your assignments will require working with a temperamental expert. You won’t agree with their methods, but you’re not getting paid to reinvent the wheel. Just do what you’re asked and you’ll be given a greater measure of freedom. Everybody has to pay dues before moving up the ladder of success. That includes you!
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You’re starting to emerge from a heavy romantic fog. While indulging your sensual side has been fun, it’s time to get back to business. A friend will ask you to take the helm of a creative organisation. At first, you’ll be reluctant to accept such an important job, but don’t be so quick to refuse. If you make a success of this venture, you’ll be given even bigger and better assignments. Making a respected name for yourself in the arts will have unimaginable benefits.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Get some distance from a needy relative. Although you enjoy being of service to your family, there needs to be a limit to what you can do. Recently, you’ve been given an opportunity to take charge of an important work project. If you do a good job, you’ll be given a raise or promotion. Your progress will be compromised if you’re constantly interrupted with calls for help. Ask other members of your family to attend to the person in need while you’re busy.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Although you enjoy being involved with community activities, it’s time to cut back your involvement. Spending every spare moment on neighbourhood meetings, fundraisers, and crime watches has taken its toll on your personal life. Move your focus to health issues. Making time to cook nutritious meals and take regular exercise is critical. Changing gears is always difficult at first, but once you establish a habit, your new regimen will become second nature.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Adopting a more practical attitude towards money puts you on safer ground. Lately, you’ve been donating a lot of resources to an important cause. That’s admirable, but it’s also put you in a difficult position. Instead of automatically agreeing to support every cause that comes down the pike, pick two or three charities that are close to your heart. Donate a set portion of your income to these organisations, while also putting a bigger percentage into savings.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You won’t be as susceptible to environmental influences as you have been in the past. At long last, you’ve mastered the trick of blocking out distractions. Being able to focus on work is a relief, but your personal life will suffer. It’s hard to maintain an intimate connection when you’re always thinking about different ways to get ahead. Set aside some time this weekend for a romantic interlude. Head for your amour’s favourite retreat so the two of you can reconnect.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Irrational fears have been holding you back from achieving your dreams. Now you’re determined to shake off these anxieties. If that means getting counselling, so be it. A hypnotist can also be helpful in situations like this. Beware of sharing your plans with others. Well meaning relatives and neighbours may not be as supportive as you need. Remember, the important thing is to get help. Whatever form this assistance takes is irrelevant, so long as it works. Trust your instincts.
