Weekly horoscope for August 19 to 26 – predictions from Russell Grant

Aries (Mar21/Apr20)

Care and caution is recommended in all things financial. If the thought of taking on a large mortgage or hefty loan makes you anxious, ask yourself whether this is something you really need to do. Expert advice will be necessary before committing yourself financially.

Taurus (Apr21/May21)

When you make someone a promise, you will keep it. It will be upsetting therefore when a friend or workmate acts as if they don’t believe you or trust you. Although you will prove them wrong, this relationship will always be a little tense.

Gemini (May22/June21)

Remember to listen as well as to talk during meetings and workplace conversations. Once you get your heads together, you and a partner, friend or colleague will come up with some interesting options and possibilities.

Cancer (June22/July23)

Someone close seems to think they have said or done something to upset you. This will take you by surprise for you can’t think of any reason why they should feel this way.

It may be up to you to reassure them that all is well between you both.

Leo (July24/Aug23)

You’re making friendships a priority. It should be fun to use your mind and imagination to improve your own and other people’s lifestyles. Take the lead and you will inspire a team to success. Be confident, be assertive and enjoy every wonderful opportunity.

Virgo (Aug24/Sept23)

A conflict between two teams is as inevitable as it is unwinnable. Both sides are equal in strength and determination. Progress is possible. This could be a real opportunity to gain something big and meaningful but only if people join forces and work together towards this goal.

Libra (Sept24/Oct23)

You know what you want to do to while away the hours although it will take quite some coaxing to get others to join you. Money will be the main cause of any uncertainties. In addition to this, someone or something may not be exactly as they seem.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22)

Relationships of all kinds from casual ones to emotional entanglements will provide you with many magic moments. You will be busy, there is no two ways about that, but you won’t mind this in the least.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21)

Don’t hold back from taking a chance to show what you can do. A challenge crops up that most people will turn away from. You know you can handle this so take a deep breath and get on with it.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20)

Benefits are on their way and this is all down to your careful planning and hard work of recent months. A senior colleague has had their eye on you for a while, knowing you are a highly ethical person. You will be the first in line for a promotion.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19)

Someone you are introduced to early in the week will turn out to be the exact opposite to what you thought. It won’t be that you had judged them by appearance but more for the company they seem to keep.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20)

The more haste, the less speed. In your eagerness to get on with a number of jobs you could find you are a little accident-prone.

A meeting will start late due to an important person not turning up on time which won’t please you when you have so many other things to do.
