Horoscopes Wednesday 2nd August 2023
Aries 21 March - 20 April
Feel confused or out of your depth, Aries? It's wise not to make matters worse by pushing yourself too hard. Perhaps the best way to handle this is to switch off and take a break. If your work is on your mind when it has no reason to be, try turning your attention to something positive. Better still, get involved in enjoyable activities and you'll soon feel recharged.
Taurus 21 April - 21 May
If it feels good, carry-on Taurus, and make the most of it. This may seem like obvious advice, but with Mercury making a tough aspect, it might be ignored. Instead, you could feel you have to knuckle down and try harder to get something done. If a plan or project is going nowhere, then admit it and leave well alone. You can always come back to it again when the mood takes you.
Gemini 22 May - 21 June
If you're having difficulty doing something that's good for you, it might be because you doubt you'll carry on. It doesn't have to be too ambitious either, but could be something simple like learning a skill or taking regular steps to reach a desired goal. Making a daily commitment and sticking with it no matter how you feel, can soon bring the changes you seek. You can do it!
Cancer 22 June - 23 July
The Moon's tie with Chiron makes this a day for conversations that enlighten as well as heal. Have something to share? Talking with a trusted confidant could give you a fresh perspective, but also leave you less burdened. On another note, adopting a can-do attitude to an idea or opportunity is the first step towards making it a reality. Don't let negativity stop you, Cancer.
Leo 24 July - 23 August
You could spend a lot of time thinking about the direction your life is taking, and whether there is anything you can do that might improve it. You may be aware of emotional baggage that's holding you back, and this is a good time to let some of it go. Plus, streamlining your financial affairs could relieve stress and enable you to set money goals you're eager to work towards.
Virgo 24 August - 23 September
Don't plan too far ahead today as things are liable to change. What looks important could be overtaken by something that's an even higher priority. With unexpected events on the cards for some days yet, you'll do better if you keep things simple. You'll need time to make best use of developments that may take you by surprise, but that could also open exciting new doors, Virgo.
Libra 24 September - 23 October
Whether you work with your head or your hands, you could easily overdo it and find you have no spark left over for anything else, Libra. Mercury makes a frazzled link, and with Mars still aligned with Jupiter, you'll be looking for an outlet for your energy. A workout or a good walk could be just what's needed to leave you calmer. And you'll end up getting so much more done.
Scorpio 24 October - 22 November
The coming days look positive, if you're willing to get something out of the way first. Even so, you've likely been putting this off and have no inclination to tackle it. If you've made a promise, then tension may be starting to build, so this could be a time of reckoning. Tap into the power of Mars's aspect to Jupiter. Find something to feel enthusiastic about, and you'll soon get it done.
Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December
You could be thrilled about an ambitious idea, if it weren't for issues that seem to be in the way. Dwell on them for too long, and you may decide they're too big to conquer, when this might not be the case at all. With just a little confidence the way can open up for you. With Jupiter your guide planet working to boost your self-belief, this is a fabulous time to go for it anyway, Archer.
Capricorn 22 December - 20 January
No matter how much you try to explain yourself or set the record straight, someone could be determined to catch you out. Mercury's tense aspect to Saturn might keep you on edge, but the current star map reveals you have nothing to worry about. The facts will back up your words and you'll be shown to be right. Ready to take a journey into the unknown? Now is the time!
Aquarius 21 January - 19 February
While you may jump at the chance to make a dream come true, don't be in too much of a rush. An edgy Mercury tie can dampen your spirits, but it also suggests looking into costs and making sure it's affordable. You might need to adjust your plans, so they fit in with a budget. Still, with a little flare and creativity you could surprise yourself at all you manage to achieve, Aquarius.
Pisces 20 February - 20 March
Fired up and ready to grasp an opportunity? Your horoscope suggests that someone may have useful advice. Going into it with your eyes open and knowing what to expect, means you won't be under any illusions. Still, with a powerful Jupiter link on the go, you might surpass your expectations and get an outstanding result. On another note, Venus retro's zone could bring insights into a complex situation at work, Pisces.
