Today’s horoscope for Thursday, August 8 will see one star sign needing space from work, as another tries to let go of perfection
It’s Thursday, and one star sign is anticipating change, while another treats themselves.
There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.
These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Keep the good energy flowing in your home by staying on top of household chores. Housemates will get on far better when you aren’t arguing over who does what and when. Some tasks may seem difficult but you will quickly and easily restore order to your home. This will lift everyone’s spirits.
Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)
In a group situation, you seem to be the most skilled and knowledgeable. It will feel flattering that others are turning to you as their go-to adviser when they hit some tricky problems. Just remember, your role is to provide genuine help and advice, not just to receive compliments.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
In some situations it will be best to consult a qualified professional. They can provide you with the right guidance. You might feel overwhelmed by your own thoughts and preferences, making it hard to handle some issues alone. If there is no professional help available, talking to a trusted friend will help.
Cancer (June 22 – July 23)
You enjoy sharing what you have with others but today, for a change, indulge in some personal spending, not for anyone else but for your own enjoyment. Treat yourself to a spa day, visit a beautician or buy something you have wanted for a while. You have worked hard and you deserve to be spoiled.
Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)
If you have been hoping there would be some kind of change in your life, you’re in for a treat. An offer or opportunity will mean ending old commitments to make room for the new. This type of change makes you glow with excitement. If nothing yet is happening, you might feel an urge to reinvent yourself.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)
Complex and time-consuming tasks have now been completed and this accomplishment will help save you a lot of time and effort in the future. Because of this you will feel a tremendous sense of relief. Not everything will be perfect but things are definitely improving.
Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)
Work and outside responsibilities have been taking up too much of your time. You haven’t had as much room in your life as you would have liked for personal relationships. If you keep prioritising your career over your family, loved ones will start voicing their concerns.
Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)
You’ve always been able to trust your intuition and you have sensed change in the air. What is happening now will impact your privacy. You aren’t surprised by the sudden change but you will want to reflect on whether someone you care for is starting to cause you more pain than happiness.
Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)
You aren’t feeling good about some of the things going on today. Staying in a difficult situation will only make it worse. Even someone who has just entered the scene can see you aren’t in a good mood. If this is a workplace situation and you’ve had a good relationship with management in the past, they might let you leave early.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)
A change of plans early in the day will provide you with a welcome opportunity to connect with the right people for your professional future. It would be best not to resort to flattery or to seek favours from those whose support would mean a lot to you. Just be friendly and let the situation develop as it should.
Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)
You could find yourself in a place or environment you had not imagined you would be visiting today. Although some events may appear advantageous, you can’t seem to feel enthusiastic about it. To understand your feelings, you may have to take some time for self-reflection.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Since other people either aren’t available or aren’t willing, you may have to dedicate yourself to the more unappreciated tasks at hand. Colleagues will offer to assume your more creative responsibilities but you wish they would be as generous in their offers to help elsewhere.
