Your Daily Horoscope for Thursday, August 5
By Dadhichi Toth
Aries
March 21- April 19
You’re relentless in your pursuit of an objective and have lots of physical drive to make your dreams a reality. This is a continuation of the more recent Sun and Pluto energies. They are still influencing you at the moment. You need to harness these energies positively. The solution you’re looking for is like pulling a rabbit out of a hat. Think outside the square. You have a short fuse and may bite someone’s head off today. This could be an expensive error as the person you attack may be able to help you somehow.

Taurus
April 20-May 20
Stop pretending you know what’s going on when you don’t. Humility is the best course of action now. Things may not go to plan today, but rest assured that the universe is perfect in its planning. Consider the possibilities and a positive spin on what happens today. You apply your imagination to some work problem and come out impressing not just your co-workers but your employer. This sets the stage for greater respect. Your growing inertia could be hindering you from further progress now.
Gemini
May 21-June 21
Travel expenses may be covered by your place of employment or organization. Financial aid proves beneficial. You must go solo rather than joining the crowd. You’ll feel as if your identity is lost if you don’t take more control of your goals. Obsessing about relationships makes it difficult to focus on anything else now. You could be overreactive in your relationships. More importantly, you’re disproportionate in your thinking about love. You feel as if you’ve given too much and received little in return.
Cancer
June 22-July 22
You need unambiguous answers to your financial issues especially. These may be related to real estate and other fixed assets. Having to decide what experts say bothers you. Rather than feeling threatened by a junior in your workplace, try to work more closely with them. You both have talents that you can learn from each other. A group effort works well today. You may want to take some risks, especially with your work. This works in your favour. You are comfortable with friends but don’t be too emotionally attached.
Leo
July 23-August 22
It’s a busy time right now. You need plenty of rest to cope with what’s on your plate. Get a few extra hours of sleep and it’ll make a big difference. Others could be the source of your problems and delays at the moment. Leave extra time up your sleeve in case circumstances obstruct you. You have so much on your agenda that you don’t know whether you’re coming or going. You must adjust your schedule to accommodate other people. You may even have to refuse some of them to keep your sanity.
Virgo
August 23-September 22
Your emotions are highly sensitised. Your mind is bright and able to absorb new ideas. Enjoy a little more education. Usually, luck is something that needs to be helped along by personal efforts. By the same token, there are moments when a small win or a gift makes you feel as though luck is something you don’t need to contribute to. Temperance is one of your keywords today. It’s important not to overeat or drink too much alcohol. This also includes working too hard and generally burning the candle at both ends.
Libra
September 23-October 22
A constructive attitude helps you achieve a whole lot today. Don’t be distracted by those who are flippant or less focused. You’ll be worried about money and don’t know how to deal with mounting bills. Remember, you can always renegotiate with your service provider to give you easier terms of payment. Grit your teeth. You may have difficulty applying intelligence and willpower to situations requiring clear thinking and productivity today. Your projects may be held back through inadequate planning.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 22
Contracts and other verbal agreements occupy your attention now. Important career developments hinge on giving extra time and energy to that. You may be praised or receive recognition for the work that you’re doing and can feel a big change coming. Some new success emerges from this. Mechanical issues may also be at the top of your agenda. This means dealing with faulty electricals, car problems, and other computer problems. You will have to spend some extra money to get the job done properly.
Sagittarius
November 23-December 20
In the dog-eat-dog world of business, you need to be on the cutting edge of technology to beat your competitors. You may have fallen behind in keeping up. You have an opportunity to sharpen that edge and make a difference within your sphere of influence. Your attraction to excessive living is making you unwell. Get things back on track as best as you can. Miscommunications are also quite likely now. Make sure you reiterate your intentions or plans so that others don’t point the finger of blame at you.
Capricorn
December 21-January 19
You have to think differently today. Use your creative thinking to differentiate yourself from others. Stepping outside the square isn’t always easy but it’s the way to win over or beat your competitors. You need to also fight temptation especially if it relates to some pleasure you’d ordinarily refuse. Indulging yourself is fun now but prepare yourself for the future karma of these actions. This cycle significantly impacts your sexuality and hidden talents in that sphere. The two aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive.
Aquarius
January 20-February 18
A legal or government issue that’s been bothering you should take a turn for the better now. You are in combat mode due to a buildup of your frustrations over this matter. Things start to improve but expect a little angst along the way. You are lethargic now and the completion of projects could be mired in delays and diversionary tactics. Someone needs something yesterday and your challenge is to overcome any weakness. You need to be unique in everything that you do during this cycl
Pisces
February 19-March 20
You need to settle the score with someone but according to you, words may not be enough. You’ll only relax once you sort the matter out. If it’s a debt, this could get legal so don’t go on the attack with all guns blazing just yet. You would probably prefer to take it easy and pamper yourself tonight, maybe even go window shopping for the sake of it. If that’s how you feel, by all means, do it. Adaptation will be difficult at the moment but is necessary if you want to improve your situation personally and professionally.
