Horoscopes Thursday 8th August 2024
Aries 21 March - 20 April
You'll likely have high hopes, but someone may seem to take pleasure in putting you off. The question is whether you should believe them or not. While you don't have to write off your plan, their words might encourage you to think again about the practicalities of what you're attempting. If it really is too much at this stage, then simplifying it could help but at least it will be a start.
Taurus 21 April - 21 May
Can't make progress? Don't be afraid to admit to it. If you seem to be facing difficulties and more appear to be on the way, take a step back and reconsider. Yet despite this, you may be eager to grasp an opportunity that could be very good for you. Wait a day or so, as it's important to get your bearings before you decide. Plus, what might come together slowly, can prove lasting.
Gemini 22 May - 21 June
There's an awkward Jupiter/Saturn angle today, which can make it more difficult to keep your focus - unless you're dealing with something pressing. You may want to push ahead, but doubts can dilute your intentions. This ongoing conflict between “can-do†and “can't-do†could continue, unless you take the initiative and decide to make a move come what may.
Cancer 22 June - 23 July
Are you being over-cautious in one area of life, and yet more than ready to go with the flow in another? If you're finding a limiting situation too uncomfortable, the temptation to drop it could be strong. And yet this phase is only temporary, and you'll soon feel more determined and confident. For now, treading a middle path can help you avoid delaying the outcome you want.
Leo 24 July - 23 August
Your plans could meet with resistance from one person who's unwilling to help you out. If they refuse to co-operate at all, then perhaps you should stop trying and opt for another way ahead. Your friends may be more than willing to assist, so don't be too proud to ask. Their support and confidence in your abilities might be enough to allow you to jump over any remaining hurdles.
Virgo 24 August - 23 September
Need a pep talk, Virgo? If you want someone to boost your resolve and determination, then be careful who you choose. Someone could paint a picture that makes it seem so easy you'll be raring to go. Someone else might make it seem so hard you'll feel like not bothering. The truth is more like something in-between. It could take a lot of effort, but you're more than up to the task.
Libra 24 September - 23 October
You may long to spread your wings and fly free but might also be saddled with responsibilities that could hamper your chance to do something different. This tension can continue for some while, at least until you work through any issues and find a way to forge ahead. It may be your mindset that prevents you from being more adventurous, which is certainly worth reflecting on.
Scorpio 24 October - 22 November
Fearful of expressing yourself or of sharing how you feel romance wise? An awkward and lingering angle between Jupiter and Saturn could highlight the difference between your expectations and reality. You may find yourself in a state of conflict about this mismatch, and it might make you feel worse. Accept things as they are, and this will probably ease the impasse.
Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December
With bubbly Jupiter angling towards prudent Saturn, completing a task could be a struggle. And it might remain this way for some while. The more you push, the more resistance you seem to meet with. Instead of exasperating yourself, let it all go and ideas about how to resolve this will show up. Plus, be open to assistance from someone with a wider experience.
Capricorn 22 December - 20 January
You're generally a down to earth person but could get restless if things aren't working out. You may feel better if you get moving, whether this means a gentle walk or something more aerobic. And if you do, your horoscope suggests you'll find it easier to settle and get on with those things you can get done. Don't let doubts hold you back. They are only thoughts, so don't latch on and take them dominant.
Aquarius 21 January - 19 February
With Jupiter aligning awkwardly with Saturn in Pisces, the fun of a trip or glorious opportunity could be cut short. You may be in two minds about going ahead because it's just too costly or complex. And yet you might change your mind once you've had a chance to think things through. Look to work on what the likely benefits may be, and then reassess with these in mind.
Pisces 20 February - 20 March
Might you feel that you are your own worst enemy today? A testing planetary combination suggests you're the one holding yourself back. You may be enthused by a chance to take a bold project further, or to collaborate on a key plan, but also feel apathetic about going ahead. If so, you don't have to commit to anything right away, so don't be hard on yourself, that's fine.
