Horoscopes today - Russell Grant's star sign forecast for Sunday, August 6

Aries

A craving for change and something different could prompt you to book a holiday or to take a trip to an unusual destination. If responsibilities restrict you and keep you tied to your home, you might want to do something creative. When it comes to anything that needs imagination, there will be no blocks on your thinking.

Taurus

Conversations are strange. You might get the impression someone isn’t hearing you properly or they don’t understand what you are saying to them even though they tell you that they do. You wonder if you aren’t expressing yourself very well. The problem could lie in the fact someone isn’t paying attention.

Gemini

An offer or promotion will be financially rewarding. It will feel good to be recognised and rewarded for your hard working efforts of the past. Taking on a high profile job will be a good use of our managerial skills. Entering a contest will appeal to your competitive side.

Cancer

It will be fun to take up a challenge and then to realise you have skills you didn’t know you had. This will come as something of a revelation to you as new options and possibilities become available. A profit sharing venture is worth considering.

Leo 

This isn’t a good time to gamble. In both romance and finance don’t give in to temptation. Taking a risk might seem like a good idea but what if it all goes wrong? How well will you cope with regret? An older relative will have objections to plans you are making.

Virgo

A new hobby or creative venture will bring you a lot of enjoyment. Most pleasure will come from being able to share this project with a lot of people. If you are expected to show your face in the workplace, the more efficiently you work, the more rewards you will reap.

Libra

You can’t quite put your finger on why you are feeling so good. Even so, you should not waste this wonderful feeling of positivity. Spend time with people whose company you always enjoy. Take a trip to the sea or explore unfamiliar landscapes. Taking up a spiritual practice is also recommended.

Scorpio

Transactions involving business, charity work or entertainment will be successful. A big contract will make the future of a special project look more secure. You had a feeling these arrangements would go well. Others around you were less optimistic so they are in for a pleasant surprise.

Sagittarius

A heart to heart discussion will alert you to a partner or relative’s increasing worries. They aren’t certain about current developments or where they might lead. You can understand their concern and together you might come up with a way to reduce the risk.

Capricorn

You don’t mind doing the odd favour or two when people ask this of you. Someone is starting to take your kindness for granted. They’re expecting far too much from you. Today this won’t be an inconvenience but unless you start saying no, it will soon be.

Aquarius

You may not know the people you are mixing with today but you are a sociable creature and through shared activities you will be making new friends. Positive progress will be made. Are you single? You may have to keep feelings you have for someone a secret.

Pisces 

Your hope is that a proposal or proposition you are about to put to someone will get a positive response. Make this a special occasion. Set the stage beforehand so they know something important is brewing. This is something they will want to tell their family and friends about for many years to come.
