Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes: Tuesday 10th August 2010
Weekly HoroscopesHoroscopes
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Eleventh hour complications are the last thing you need. Instead of battling on alone, either delegate or ask for help! Even if you feel under pressure and as if there aren't enough hours in a day, avoid spending all of your time on the one task. There is room for new recruits in a team effort especially if they can bring in fresh ways of approaching the task. You don't have to do everything on your own.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Think about it carefully if you're offered a new job, new responsibilities in an existing employment or change of career. The idea appeals from the start but don't commit yourself until you've considered all implications. Work out how these compare with your existing status. It might also help to ask your boss or a senior colleague their opinion. The more information you get, the more likely it is you will make the right choice.
.
Gemini (May22/June21) Ignore anyone who tells you it's not what but who you know that counts. Someone is envious of your success and they're looking for excuses as to why you are going up in the world while they are staying put. Rest assured it's your knowledge, skills and experience that combine to bring about your current run of success. Efforts you've made in the past to learn new skills, gain qualifications and improve your talents are now starting to serve you well.
Cancer (June22/July23) Up ahead are a number of hurdles and you can't expect to agree with everyone. The real challenge lies in managing a difficult situation without allowing tempers to get out of control. It's essential to find compromise now, within a close relationship. Your ability to show a smiling face to the world will go a long way to help keep the peace. A loved one is in a constructive mood later in the day helping you get a better perspective on life.
Leo (July24/Aug23) Just because you and an old sparring partner have different views on certain subjects doesn't mean you can't be friends. You've always got on well in other areas. A competitor who was hoping to take advantage and play you one off against the other will discover you can't be manipulated in such a way. What you will do is agree to leave personal feelings out of a business arrangement. By the end of the day you will have gained a lot from making such adjustments.
Virgo (Aug24/Sept23) You're working alongside someone who is the supreme optimist; you prefer to be more cautious. In business and finance, your practicality adds to your credibility. This is why you will not be swayed by anyone else's enthusiasm. A job offer could bring in a higher source of income but you want to know more. You don't mind taking on a new role but you need to determine what it is and how you will be rewarded for your efforts.
.
Libra (Sept24/Oct23) A loan is repaid or a grant, funding or allowance received. This is bound to lift your spirits. Even so there's a note of caution: watch your spending in the early afternoon hours. A moment's extravagance could have any bonus evaporating before you've got it in your hands! If some machinery you're working with breaks down or seems less efficient, before calling it a day get the opinion of an expert.
.
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Completing an enormously challenging task is crucial to your future success. How you go about things may come as a surprise to some who thought they could predict your actions. You are throwing yourself, heart and soul, into this venture. What motivates you is the need to keep up the momentum as once you stop, you won't want to start again. A lot of what you hear will be highly entertaining even if it isn't entirely accurate.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) It might seem like you're doing all the talking in a meeting, seminar or business convention. You wonder whether anyone is going to reveal their thoughts or do they expect you to keep coming up with all the answers? As the day progresses, compliments will start coming your way. A senior colleague will reveal information that by its very nature must be kept confidential. The fact they're confiding in you will show you have impressed others with your people skills and knowledge.
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Start making useful inside contacts within large commercial organisations; such connections could transform your life. A private aim you'd like to fulfil deserves some close attention. You might also come to the rescue of a friend in difficulty. In work or anything dangerous or risky you're involved in, follow safety regulations. If you are single, a romantic proposition is likely to strike a chord. You won't see any reason to hold back from showing your interest.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) The only way to get the truth out of someone is to break down their defences. Whether your interest in them is official, romantic or otherwise, patience and persistence will help you achieve your aim. Your efforts to boost your personal income should start to pay off now and it will be a relief to know your finances are on the road to recovery. Rules that have been in operation for decades are altered to meet changing trends.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) A friend or loved one is bringing the thrifty side of their nature into play and refuses to condone a large purchase. Even if you don't like being told what to do and can't hide your disappointment, you know their objections make sense. A self imposed task within your own four walls will call for energy and concentration. This job won't need two people and a loved one may feel neglected and ignored.

Goldbug100 CONNAUGHT (CNT.L) we did warn last saturday that this one was not for widows and orphans
Shares in social housing maintenance group Connaught (LSE: CNT.L) were sharply lower again as it holds emergency talks with banks over a possible debt-for-equity swap that would wipe out shareholders.
At the close 4:35pm: 11.00 p 
4.50 (29.03%)
4.50 (29.03%) In our article on Saturday we said that we suspected that retail investors had moved in when the price hovered above 30p late in July: that we had considered adding to our fund but decided against it, preferring to sit on the sidelines and watch.
Sometimes in investing you must follow you gut instincts and this was one such case - We will still watch events just in case

Goldbug100 Shore Capital Group PLC ( LSE: SGR.L) increases holding 100% at £0.26875
The fund after very careful consideration decided to double it´s holding in Shore Capital today, setting a limit of 27p but managed to obtain at 26.875p.
Yahoo1 year share price target is 43.00 p. It gives the earnings per share as 27.20p with a dividend and yield of 0.30 (1.12%). However the last annual report shows that the company paid a second interim dividend of 0.625p bringing the total 0.875p so evidently Yahoo only showed the first interm dividend. This indicates a yield of 3.255% not 1.12%. Net asset value per share is shown as 57.0p (2008 - 25.4p). Earmings per share - Prior to the addition of the goodwill credit, the Group generated earnings per share of 3.81p (2008 - 0.01p) including the credit from negative goodwill, earnings per share were 27.18p. Total return to shareholders (net asset per share growth plus dividends paid) over the last 10 years - over 40% pa - highest of peer group. Subject to any downturn there does seem room for the Bank to increase the dividend as it is well covered. Full details of Shore Capital can be found below by clicking on the links. Historically before the 2008 fallout the historic high was in the region of 100p
Shore Capital is a UK investment banking group which specialises in equity capital market activities and investment management in alternative assets.

Weekly LoveCast™ "New Moon in Leo brings fresh energy to romance" Week of August 9-15, 2010 by Cortney Litwin
The week begins with a mixed blessing. Monday's New Moon in Leo brings fresh energy to romance, but a troublesome encounter involving Venus, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto can cause extreme behavior in relationships, especially at the start of the week. Fortunately, harmony, cooperation and passion reemerge by the weekend. Best days for socializing: Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Aries: As Venus takes a hit from Jupiter and Uranus in your sign, the urge to expand your vistas, in love and in other areas, can make you antsy for an adventure. This can either heat up passion or upset your partner, depending on your situation. This weekend, a delightful mix of love and lust energizes you from Friday through Sunday!
Taurus: You may find yourself questioning and analyzing the future of your love life this week as your Venus ruler collides with some abrasive planetary influences. Working through issues from the past can help clarify your needs and desires concerning love. During the weekend, your allure draws admirers on Saturday, and a rendezvous turns hot on Sunday!
Gemini: Socializing is chaotic at the start of the week, when a friend may be unreliable. Fortunately, the New Moon brings out your eloquence and humor when expressing your ideas and feelings, although flirting may not get off the ground before Friday. Your artistry inspires romance on Saturday. Feelings are steamy but complicated on Sunday.
Cancer: Your emotional security may feel shaky at the start of the week. A family member may get on your nerves, too. Expressing your feelings in a balanced but direct manner will help you rise above the turbulence. This weekend, throwing a party can energize you on Saturday. Sunday, however, is a time for intimacy!
Leo: The New Moon in your sign can bring a cycle of personal fulfillment, but first you may need to handle a prickly encounter that leaves you feeling misunderstood. Being objective by not taking things personally will help. During the weekend, flirting brings a romantic opportunity on Saturday. A cozy tryst for two ignites passion on Sunday!
Virgo: The New Moon inspires you to clear away negative feelings from the past, which will help you navigate any troublesome interactions in the romance arena this week. Strive to let love flow by not taking control. An elegant or artsy ambiance inspires romance on Saturday. Your naughty side emerges through your words on Sunday!
Libra: A change in how you perceive commitment awakens new insights this week, which can rattle your love life but may be necessary for your personal growth. Don't lose your newfound sense of self if you have to strike a compromise with someone. Coming from the heart empowers you during a romantic encounter (and other interactions) this weekend!
Scorpio: Focusing on improving and beautifying your home environment during the New Moon will give you peace of mind if a power struggle arises in a close relationship. Watch out for a misunderstanding on Tuesday, particularly. A serene setting inspires love on Friday or Saturday. Your powers of attraction soar from Saturday night through Sunday!
Sagittarius: Your inner wild child makes you a magnet for admirers, but it might also derail a deeper love connection unless you balance freedom with stability. Strive to see the bigger picture of what you want in a relationship. This weekend, romance can be found in a group gathering on Saturday. Hidden desires emerge on Sunday!
Capricorn: You'll need to come from a calm and centered place to deal with a relationship challenge, which may involve your living arrangements or career. Fortunately, a fresh perspective may suddenly come upon you, which will help clarify the situation. A friend may be instrumental in bringing romance to your doorstep this weekend!
Aquarius: The New Moon illuminates your partnership sector, which will help you attract someone new or improve your current relationship. You'll just need to control the urge to be shockingly combative if a conflict arises. Strive for a balanced perspective. This weekend, love may come through a spiritual group, class or public gathering.
Pisces: The mess of conflicting influences this week might actually produce a breakthrough for you concerning an issue that keeps you from enjoying a deep emotional and sexual connection with someone special. So take some time for introspection, especially during the weekend, when insights about your future will come to you.

Weekly HoroscopesHoroscopes
. . . . . . . .
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) It will be worth it to give in to a loved one who is desperate to get you to go along with their ideas. The happiness you spread by offering your support or consenting to their plans will be immeasurable, so don't hold back. A female friend is about to play a bigger role in your life in the future. In some way your personal aims will be affected by this but it's a situation you can't avoid for the moment so you should try to make the best of it.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) The more you have on your plate the more you should be willing to accept help offered. Jobs you're desperate to complete this week are either because you're bored with working on the same thing or you are guilty about what there is still left to do. Why let pride get in the way of common sense? The fact is you would appreciate the company of a friendly team rather than continue on your own.
.
Gemini (May22/June21) Your spirit is strong and original; you've got some great ideas. Once others see how clever you are and put your suggestions into practice, your popularity will soar. Those who have been awkward, difficult or argumentative in the past could be the very people buttering you up now! It's clear they want to pick your brains in the hope of gaining in some way themselves. Whether or not you oblige is up to you.
Cancer (June22/July23) Discuss ideas for spending cash and save yourself a lot of bother. No doubt you will get your own way in the end. But by putting ideas forward before there's any outlay others will be happy to chip in and pay their share. On the other hand, should you go out and splash out without consulting anyone, housemates will accept this with a smile and it's unlikely they will volunteer to give anything towards it!
Leo (July24/Aug23) Be sensible: don't waste time and energy on plans that aren't working. Leave others to carry on if that’s what they want but you don't have to follow their lead, do you? Whether it's connected to work or the home, walk away from anything that isn't going well. You're particularly interested in what's going on in your local community these days and the chance to spread a little sunshine into other people's lives will present itself this evening.
Virgo (Aug24/Sept23) The highly productive start to the day will be to your liking. You get to clear away difficult jobs in half the time you expected with the chance of impressing the boss thrown in for good measure. In addition, a close emotional relationship is starting to become more important in your life. Any and all efforts to put career and family life on a more stable footing will pay off and bring happiness your way.
.
Libra (Sept24/Oct23) Communicate your hopes, plans and fears for the future; there are people who are interested and want to know. When questions are asked, don't give answers you think others want to hear. Be honest about your opinion. Securing a happy future for yourself can only be done if you push for what you truly want and not for what you think others want from you. Compromise if it seems you and your partner don't share the same views. Don't just shrug your shoulders and go along with what they're suggesting.
.
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Expect the going to be tough at first but you've always enjoyed a good challenge. If you come across people who object to all you do, turn on your charm and this will take them by surprise. Your persuasive ways coupled with an intuitive understanding of how and why people behave as they do will help you melt the iciest of hearts. If you're offered a choice, make activities at the end of the day quieter than usual.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Something you're mixed up in is going to cause gossip; the prospect doesn't really bother you. Getting involved in a controversial issue and being able to stand up for the underdog will make you feel you are doing something positive. Rather than simply watching from the sidelines. Results of your efforts give you something to be proud about. A team you are involved in looks set to be transformed; this will help keep the venture alive
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) It's essential to stay calm in situations where others are finding it hard to keep control. In a heated debate you can veer the conversation along more practical lines through your sensible and logical manner. Similarly you should keep an open mind this evening when an item of gossip is passed on to you in a biased fashion. Don't make judgements until you find out the facts for yourself.
.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Follow your instincts; friends and even your boss will try to guide you but who says they're right? You gain insight into the minds of those around you through watching how dilemmas are approached and resolved. Someone's planning to visit you from far away and since they intend to stay a wee while this will play a major role in your planning for the weeks ahead.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Get out and about; travel of any description will give you a lift. It shouldn't be hard to persuade a friend or loved one to drop what they're doing and join you. Others are glad of your company and of the chance of adding excitement to their usual routines. Should you need to discuss joint finances, keep such conversations for the evening when you are more likely to get your partner's full attention.
