Russell Grant’s Weekly Horoscopes w.b. 20 August 2011
.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You're torn between spending time with your lover and hanging out with friends. While you miss your nearest and dearest, you prefer spending quality time with somebody who appreciates your creative talent. Dancing, photography, and painting fill the empty space inside you. Normally, you'd have no trouble sharing your artistic pursuits with your social circle. Right now you feel a little vulnerable and want to wait to develop your work before showing it off.
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) If you're experiencing trouble at home, tell your boss. That way, you won't feel pressured to maintain a false front when you're feeling tired or depressed. Naturally, you still need to fulfil your responsibilities. Still, your colleagues will give you a break once they know how complicated your personal life has become. You don't need to go into tremendous detail, but you should let the powers that be know you are undergoing an unusual amount of strain. People can be very accommodating when you are honest.
.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Just because someone has an advanced degree doesn't mean they know what's best for you. Take this expert's advice with a pinch of salt, especially when it comes to educational matters. If you feel a strong impulse to pursue a certain course of study, do it. Don't worry if you can't capitalise on these lessons. You're the type of person who needs lots of intellectual stimulation to strive. Learning is a means to emotional fulfilment, not economic gain.
.
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) The terms of a business deal are hazy, and for good reason. Somebody is trying to hide critical information from you. Don't sign any legal documents until you have a trusted professional review them. It's worth paying a fee to get an objective opinion. An inheritance could be delayed due to a family quarrel. Don't count on this money to cover your bills just yet. Find another way to generate income while you're waiting for the court to render its final decision.
.
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) You're starting to wonder whether a romantic or business partner is having second thoughts about your alliance. No matter how hard you press, you can't get a straight answer. Pay attention to your friend's body language and behaviour. It will tell you everything you need to know about the state of your relationship. A temporary separation will give you a chance to assess the situation and make the healthiest choice for you.
.
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Someone will try to take advantage of your generous nature at work. Don't let anybody invade your boundaries, even if you're dealing with an extreme situation. Opportunists will always look for chinks in your armour. Once they detect and hit your soft spot, they'll strike over and over again, until they get everything they want. You're tired of being manipulated. Put up a tough image, even at the risk of appearing insensitive. Protecting your interests should be your first priority.
.
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Beware of looking at life through rose tinted glasses. By refusing to acknowledge someone's faults, you'll set yourself up for disappointment. Nobody is all good or all bad. Even the kindest, most attentive lover won't be able to fulfil all your needs. If your amour breaks a promise or forgets a special occasion, take a deep breath. Make your disappointment known, and then move on. Punishing your partner won't change their ways. Above all, it won't help your relationship.
.
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) You're conflicted about a work assignment. On the one hand, you're excited to show off your creative talent. On the other, you're afraid of being criticised. Take steps to create a nurturing, supportive atmosphere at home. That way, you'll be able to make a strategic retreat when the pressures of public life become too much to bear. Don't be afraid of competing with your peers. It's the best way to discover your strengths and weaknesses.
.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Important details are falling between the cracks. You've never been very interested in day to day procedures; you prefer to deal with the big picture. Unfortunately, people are counting on you to do a good job. If you fail to deliver, their reputations will suffer. If you're not sure how to double check your work, enlist the aid of an eagle eyed Virgo. Don't brush off their questions or concerns. Their remarks may seem like petty complaints, but they're actually quite valid criticisms.
.
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You can't afford to be careless with money. You work hard for your income, and shouldn't feel pressured into giving it to a lazy relative. Someone will try to lay a guilt trip on you. Don't fall for it. You are very generous when it comes to bona fide charities. You're always willing to assist those who are intent on helping themselves. When it comes to deadbeats you have serious reservations. Nobody can blame you for that!
.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You're very impressionable now, and need to be mindful of the company you keep. Be especially wary of someone who always has to command the spotlight. If you keep deferring to this attention hog, you'll become resentful. Be willing to assert your own opinions, even if it leads to a loud argument. You're very perceptive, especially when it comes to creative ventures. If you think an idea won't work, you're probably right. Voice your concerns now, before more time and money is wasted.
.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Burying your head in the sand won't make problems at work go away. No matter what you do for a living, you must communicate with colleagues. If someone is being nasty, stand up for yourself. Don't be treated like a child, and don't sulk if your suggestions are brushed aside. The more assertive and straightforward you are, the better your work relationships will be. This can be difficult for a shy, retiring character like you, but you owe it to yourself to try.
