Russell Grant’s Weekly Horoscopes w.b. 6th August 2011
.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Putting too much emphasis on material possessions is making you miserable. Just because you don't make as much money as some of your friends and neighbours doesn't mean you're any less valued. People love your pioneer spirit. If you were to pattern your life after someone else, you would lose that special spark. Take this opportunity to develop your technical skills. Mastering a computer program or new gadget will make that nagging ache go away.
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Resist the urge to overindulge in food and drink. If you've put on a few pounds, you must overhaul your lifestyle. Being more active in your free time is critical. It will help if you try a variety of workouts, like walking, swimming, and cycling. That way, you won't get bored or discouraged. The more physical activity you get, the sexier you become. That's a great incentive for getting in shape. Channel your affections; they're yearning to come out and play.
.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Beware of falling victim to a sob story; your first instinct is to give generously to anyone who asks for help. If you enquire more closely about their circumstances you'll detect some inconsistencies. It's possible the person in question is working some kind of scam. You've got better things to do with your hard earned money. A friend will propose an unusual outing. Although you'll have to make some last minute changes to your schedule, it will be worth the hassle.
.
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Spending time with a large group has caused you to lose touch with your own thoughts and feelings. Take this opportunity to get away from the crowd. Devote yourself to an unusual project that requires you to be more assertive. By taking charge of a difficult assignment, you'll be less likely to be influenced by persuasive friends and colleagues. Their desire to cut corners clashes with your intention to surpass the competition. Continue to listen to your inner executive.
.
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Relinquishing the reins of power feels scary. You're not sure the person who has come to replace you is capable of the job. Still, it's not up to you to decide what the future will bring. Step down and be as gracious as possible about it or you will be branded a sore loser. Now you have a little more free time on your hands, you'll be able to write, travel, and study. Taking up an unusual hobby will keep you from brooding.
.
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) It's sometimes difficult for you to consider another person's point of view. You're firmly convinced your ideas are the best ideas, and it feels threatening when others challenge you. Instead of getting in a heated debate, put yourself in your friend's shoes. Consider how their upbringing and experiences have shaped them. Remember if we all thought the same way, it would be a very boring world. The things that capture your imagination usually come from an entirely different perspective.
.
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Financial and emotional obligations are weighing you down. Normally, you prefer operating as part of a team. Lately you are starting to resent your partner. It feels as if their behaviour is inhibiting your dreams. Before lashing out, make a list of three things you've always admired about your loved one. Keep them in mind whenever you feel that resentment building. Then do something designed to bring you closer to a cherished goal.
.
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Jealousy has always been a problem for you. It scares you if someone shows interest in the object of your affection. You worry you won't measure up or you will be supplanted by someone else. Instead of obsessing over what you can't control, take charge of what you can. Be more attentive, loving, and affectionate with your amour. Encourage them to develop their own interests. Praise their efforts at self expansion, and show your gratitude for their kindness.
.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) The last thing you want to do is take on additional responsibilities at work. Unfortunately, you don't have a choice. Every employer is trying to stretch their resources further. The good news is if you agree to take on more assignments, you'll be afforded a more flexible schedule. That's music to your ears. If there's anything you can't stand, it's performing the same dull routine day after day. Take this opportunity to go on an extended holiday to a place you've always wanted to visit.
.
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You're using a love affair to avoid some harsh realities. Unfortunately, you can't ignore your financial obligations any longer. You'll have to cut back on fun in favour of making some more money. Whether this means putting in longer hours or taking a second job is immaterial. The important thing is to get a leg up on your bills. An opportunity to work from home is too good to pass up. You may have to upgrade your computer and phone lines.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Things are a little stressful on the home front. It feels like you never have time to enjoy peace and quiet; you're always on call. The only way to reverse this trend is to set some firm boundaries. That means turning off your mobile and avoiding the computer after hours. At first, the withdrawal will feel like torture. Eventually you'll come to enjoy the quiet. Relations with friends and family are improving because you won't feel bound by obligations.
.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You're stubborn about learning a new technique. If you keep digging in your heels, you'll get a bad reputation. Right now, it's important to be as cooperative as possible, so your boss will perceive you as an integral part of the team. By expanding your knowledge base just a little, you'll be in a good position to ask for a raise. The skills you learn will also make you more valuable on the job market, making it easier to find a better position, if you're so inclined.
