Horoscopes today - Russell Grant's star sign forecast for Sunday, August 4

Aries

It always feels good to have someone who cares who will remind you of the importance of a healthy mind for a healthy body. You’ve been letting financial worries, job problems and family issues take a toll on your energy. When you start feeling overwhelmed, take a deep breath and focus on positive thoughts.

Taurus

Some things will go to plan, other plans will take a surprising turn. Just about anything can happen and nothing seems predictable. You are getting on well with friends and strangers alike and any uncertainties you recently had about a close relationship can be put behind you. All is well.

Gemini

There will be advantages to receiving some secret information. This will make you aware of things that are going on behind the scenes. A team effort is set underway and yet you are reconsidering your participation. You’re uneasy with this group’s conservative goals and need a bigger challenge.

Cancer

Trust your instincts and refuse to listen to negative remarks from people who are far too judgemental. Do what you feel you must do. This might lead to some backlash but what’s important is that you are going with what’s right for you. A friend will distance themselves from you. In the end you are better off without them.

Leo

Your family and friends value and appreciate your down-to-earth advice. Your genuine desire to help makes you a trusted source of guidance. You have learned from the past and as well as having avoided repeating mistakes, you can draw from this and advise others on how to make the best decisions.

Virgo

Any time to yourself should be used positively to do some deep thinking. Reflect on your past, evaluate your present and contemplate your future. Does your current situation meet up with your previous goals? Or have you deviated from your aspirations due to past distractions?

Libra

It will be through working with a group that you are able to make a positive difference to other people’s lives. What’s interesting is that you’re also looking after yourself by applying the advice you give to others, to yourself. You’re never happier than when you are lending a helping hand to others.

Scorpio

A business meeting will be called with very little notice. A situation needs to be addressed and very quickly. A senior colleague will push the idea that their proposals will bring stability to the workplace . But what they are suggesting will, in itself, be a gamble.

Sagittarius

It might seem like an impossible task to try to catch up on domestic chores recently neglected in order to have a good time. Even so, you cannot ignore some jobs any longer and you will be surprised to see how much progress you can make once you shift your focus to the work in hand.

Capricorn

A situation is never going to change and the sooner you accept this, the better. Dwelling on this matter will only add to your disappointment. The key to acceptance is shifting your attitude towards a more positive one. Instead of worrying about what can’t be done, focus on and be grateful for what you can accomplish.

Aquarius

Your creative awareness reaches peak levels. Take this chance to put your imagination to work to enhance your home or workplace. If you’re keen to start on a new project, switch off your mobile to avoid interruptions and distractions.

Pisces

You don’t want to admit it but burying your head in the sand has only exacerbated a problem. Make some time today to acquaint yourself with the details of the situation. Get all the facts straight. Although conversations and phone calls will be tense, this is a sign of increased honesty in communication.
