YOU’s resident astrologer Sally Brompton reveals your horoscope for 2nd-8th August 2021. So, what does the week have in store?
SCORPIO
24 Oct-22 Nov
Challenging solar aspects to Saturn and Uranus warn that certain people are taking an abnormal interest in your private life and you can be sure they’re up to no good. You must make it clear, once and for all, that no one has the right to interfere in your affairs.
SAGITTARIUS
23 Nov-21 Dec
If you’re the type of Sag who learns from others’ mistakes you’ll avoid the pitfalls ahead. But if you’re the sort who ploughs on regardless you may start the new month with a few bruises. Experience is a fine teacher but you don’t have to learn everything first-hand.
CAPRICORN
22 Dec-20 Jan
Your finances are such that you have no option but to rely on others, which may mean compromises or giving up some freedoms. Of course, if you had not overspent in recent weeks you wouldn’t be in this position, but that was then and this is now.
AQUARIUS
21 Jan-19 Feb
You may think you can get away with anything – and maybe you can – but cosmic forces warn that gains made now by underhand methods will be taken from you in the long term. You might as well play by the rules and not have to worry about the future.
PISCES
20 Feb-20 March
If you’re finding it hard to show your true feelings it is restrictive Saturn holding you back. It is something you may have to get used to as Saturn continues to focus on your emotions for some time. Luckily, those who really matter know how you feel.
ARIES
21 March-20 April
There is someone who aims to rain on your parade according to your solar chart. It means that you should only go to places where you’ll be among friends and only mix with people who share your take on life. That way you’ll avoid the deluge.
TAURUS
21 April-21 May
With the Sun and Mercury opposing Saturn it will be hard to think clearly when it comes to your work and home life. So forget the serious stuff and enjoy yourself – especially on Tuesday when romantic Venus energises the surprises planet Uranus.
GEMINI
22 May-21 June
If you’ve strayed off course of late – and according to the planets you have – what is about to occur will guide you back on the right path. You may be tempted to ignore advice from friends or family but if you do you’ll regret it before the week ends.
CANCER
22 June-23 July
Be careful what you wish for this week as you may discover you don’t want it after all. Be especially wary of anyone who promises you the world for a small investment as there’s no way they’ll be able to deliver – and there’s no way you’ll get your money back.
LEO
24 July-23 Aug
With the Sun, your ruler, and Mercury both in your sign and at odds with Saturn you won’t escape your responsibilities. But being the focused person you are there’s no reason why you shouldn’t get through your chores in record time. Then let the fun begin.
VIRGO
24 Aug-23 Sept
Virgos have a reputation for being thorough and always doing a good job, and if you let it slip now it will take a lot of time and effort to rebuild it – time and effort that would have been better spent on more important things. Keep up the momentum.
LIBRA
24 Sept-23 Oct
You don’t have to keep a low profile and risk spoiling your fun but you do have to be aware that some people, given the chance, will talk you down in front of your friends. It would be nice if everyone was as tactful as you but they’re not. Don’t relax your guard.
