Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, August 7th
Aries

You may be experiencing some doubts about love and business today, dear Aries. Conflicts stirred now may very well push you in the direction of growth, but could nevertheless take some time to resolve. Observe carefully how you deal with anger or resentment and ask yourself how you can make improvements. Shortcuts taken now can be regrettable and possibly costly at a later date. Conversations can be vague or even guilt-ridden. Precise and factual thinking can suffer today. Your mind is likely to wander, although it is imaginative and given the right place for your musings, you may very well come up with creative solutions to problems. Try not to stretch the truth today and don’t succumb to pressure to make a statement, commitment, or conclusion. Find healthy ways to escape from the usual routine.
Taurus

You may be dealing with people who are particularly sensitive today, dear Taurus, and the temptation can be to tiptoe around them rather than face the root problem. Decisions are hard to make right now, mainly because alternatives seem equal in attractiveness. You can be feeling a little off and sensitive to lack of support. Misunderstandings are possible with friends, whether romantic or platonic, especially if you’ve been entertaining false hopes or ideas about them. Try not to project what you want to see onto others, as something can be misconstrued. Alternatively, you may be tempted to let others believe what they want to think about you, but this may not be the wisest choice. Imagination is in full bloom today. Applied to the right areas, though, and you’re in a very creative place.
Gemini

There can be some problems getting your message across effectively today, dear Gemini. Take a little more care than usual to make yourself clear. Try not to read too much into others’ words right now, because even though you are perceptive on a regular day, today your impressions can be off. Confusing signals abound. Watch carefully for misrepresentation. Something you say may be misconstrued. There is increasingly more emphasis on your personal life, family, and home life these days, but as much as you’d like to focus on these things, there can be many distractions coming from the outside. Uncertainty about your career or goals can interfere with the enjoyment of the moment. However, this can also be a day when all that is imaginative, fantastic, or spiritual engages you. Look to trustworthy people for objectivity.
Cancer

We may be making things more complicated for ourselves than they need be today, dear Cancer. Overthinking can lead to confusion. Values can seem at odds with those of a significant other now, and a good strategy may be to keep some emotional distance from people who are draining you or pulling you down. Money can be a hot topic, and large purchases can be a potential money pit. Your imagination is powerful today, but it can pull you away from the work you want or need to get done. Productivity can suffer if you focus too closely on facts or if you go the opposite route and allow your imagination to take over – a combination of the two is best. Double check your work, as it can be difficult to see things clearly today, and concentration levels are low. Let your imagination go, but do so in the right places, and not so far that you set yourself up for a letdown.
Leo

The environment around you may be changing in small but irritating ways today, Leo, and you are forced to adjust or adapt. As much as you’d like to be gung-ho, you can be on the fence, or you might doubt your convictions at the moment. The past seems to be pulling you in today, and you could be suspicious of someone, tainting some of your interactions. The hurdles that you face can force small changes and refinements that will help you out in the long run, however, so stick to the task and take care of the little things that need attention. It’s important not to overcommit now, however. Be especially vigilant when it comes to lending and spending today. New ideas can be imaginative, but may need more attention to detail at a later date.
Virgo

Relationships can be tricky today, dear Virgo. You may very well be at cross-purposes with someone, and you can be particularly impatient with vagueness. It may seem that others are trying to avoid your questions. You might also worry about a poor choice or mistake made in the past and take it too seriously. With so many distractions, it’s important to avoid juggling too many ideas at once. With Mercury in your sign you are projecting more strength in your communications generally speaking, but today there can be some frustration that others are not responsive or precise. You may even wonder if someone is deceiving you. Explaining, pushing, or questioning will not make anything better at the moment. While you may not be getting your message across well today, consider that it may not be imperative, as over-explaining yourself is rarely worth it.
Libra

Worry about others’ opinions can be a real waste of time and energy, dear Libra, so aim to do your best and let your actions speak for themselves. Insecurities can come to the fore with a Sun-Pluto challenge this morning. Clinging too tightly to your traditions can be an issue now. Avoid making decisions from a state of worry – those rarely work out well. A Mercury-Neptune opposition is also in effect today. With Mercury and Venus in your solar twelfth house, you can be very reflective and often focused on the past in recent days. Ultimately, this leads to more clarity, but today, a lack of routine and general disarray can temporarily interfere with your quest. Aim to work on chores that need your attention. Watch for miscommunication.
Scorpio

You may be struggling with temporary doubts or worries, likely related to career or reputation, in the first half of today, dear Scorpio. Something that’s said could be taken the wrong way, or you may feel slighted by someone you’d rather respect. Adjustments in the way you approach and communicate with others may be necessary now. Take a second look, and resolve to get over this small hump. Focus on things you can control or improve, rather than those you can’t. As well today, a Mercury-Neptune opposition can point to difficulties gaining understanding. Areas where you may have been seeing things through the lens of wishful thinking, particularly social ones, can emerge. There can be trouble with people over-stepping their boundaries, promising more than they can deliver, or with missed connections and general bad timing. Fictional drama in your choice of movies, games, or other entertainment can be satisfying now, and may even keep you out of real-life drama that you simply don’t need at the moment.
Sagittarius

There may be a dilemma or choice to deal with in the first half of the day, dear Sagittarius, related to money and freedom, business and adventure, or responsibility and spontaneity. Indecision is, in fact, a good thing if it keeps you from making choices that you can’t fully get behind. Some decisions benefit from waiting. As well today, perceptions are unlikely to have a firm basis in reality. Indulging in fantasy is favored, although only when it’s appropriate. An effort should be made to separate it from business and family affairs. Avoid coming to important conclusions or making decisions based on your current perceptions. Consider that others may not be revealing the full story today, whether they’re hiding certain things from you or they’re in the dark themselves.
Capricorn

With Pluto in your sign, dear Capricorn, you can be your own worst enemy at times as you challenge others in ways that can place you in a sensitive position. Part of you might be looking to expose the darker side of situations or people as you search for truths, but once you’ve seen the worst side of someone or something, you can’t take that vision back. Watch today that you don’t set yourself up for an emotional fall. Later today, you may want to escape or avoid the stress of routine and instead to wrap your mind around more enlightening concepts, ideas, and fantasies. However, external pressures can bring you back to earth quickly. Keep your wits about you when tending to practical matters. Watch for both deception and self-deception today – clarity may not come right now.
Aquarius

Do your best to avoid letting uncertainty and insecurities interfere with happiness or dictate your behavior and responses today, dear Aquarius. There can be inner unrest, and you can feel that circumstances or people are getting in your way, but you might also consider whether your own attitudes are limiting your progress as well. You may feel a compelling need to organize your thoughts, especially about finances and relationships, but others may not be very responsive or forthcoming at the moment. People and information can be unavailable when you need them most. There can be missing information, circling conversations, and a tendency towards vagueness to deal with today. As much as you’d like to see things more clearly, you may need to resign yourself to not knowing just for the time being. Avoid looking outside of yourself for answers – looking within may be more fruitful right now.
Pisces

There can be a push from someone for an answer or possibly a commitment today, dear Pisces, which can awaken the escapist in you. If you feel cornered, firmly communicate that you need to let things flow. Don’t make the mistake of giving an answer before you’re on board with it. Minor health complaints may be brought on by stress or emotional issues and indecision. You might experience some awkwardness in social relationships. Go easy on yourself, as there is a very good chance that other people in your life are more confident in you and your abilities than you are! You may be required to rework or redo things that you had previously thought were complete. Push through this, knowing that even if you don’t feel a clear direction at the moment, it will eventually come.
