Horoscopes today - Russell Grant's star sign forecast for Monday, August 26

Aries

You thought there would be complaints when instead, your direct approach is actually appreciated by those around you. People are happy to follow your lead. You will be loving this newfound freedom and already mapping out all the exciting things you’ll be taking on over the next few days.

Taurus

An aura of touchiness will be evident in a close relationship and you won’t have to look far for a cause of this. You have been in a seemingly constant verbal battle over money or some travel plans for a while now and you can’t see this being resolved soon.

Gemini

When making decisions for others, whether in your personal life or professionally you will be thinking about the best course of action for the person involved. That’s why you will also be taking their feelings and wishes into account so decisions are made with their well-being and overall quality of life being a priority.

Cancer

You have a ton of unfinished tasks that require your attention. This specifically relates to a project you are working on alone. You’re falling behind with your initial estimates and have a significant amount of work to catch up on if you want to finish this job within a specific timeframe.

Leo

You can avoid money issues by attending to financial matters right away. A misunderstanding to do with a bill that has been overlooked leads to unnecessary stress in a relationship. If managing finances is starting to overwhelm you, a financial advisor can provide valuable assistance.

Virgo

You can’t and won’t accept a senior colleague’s excuses for making decisions that do not sit well with many people. Even if they claim they have no other choice, you can think of a few other alternatives. They are more likely to listen to you if you take them to one side to quietly point this out.

Libra

You can be determined when you want to be and your persistence regarding an issue you feel strongly about will surprise those around you. Once you have set your mind on a goal, you won’t let anything stand in your way. Having a clear sense of direction helps you stay on track towards achieving your objectives.

Scorpio

You’re going above and beyond for people who don’t appreciate your kindness. Next time someone asks for a favour, politely turn them down. You should not feel obliged to have to explain yourself. Refrain from engaging in gossip. Very little, if any, of information that’s being shared is true.

Sagittarius

You disagree with a friend or workmate views about a recent situation. Arguing about it will only add to the tension that is already growing between you. Despite being someone who enjoys debate, for now, it would be best to keep your mouth shut.

Capricorn

Stay alert. Take time to carefully consider the more complicated aspects of your life. A close relationship will be particularly puzzling. What seemed like a simple and relaxed relationship will now reveal itself to be a tangled web of mystery.

Aquarius

You are prepared to accept the consequences of decisions made today. As a team, you have discussed all possibilities and the potential repercussions of certain actions and choices. Discussions can’t continue indefinitely. It is time to take firm action.

Pisces

Harmony in the household is delicate, to say the least. An issue that has been building over time will come to a head. You feel undervalued and unappreciated but what you hadn’t noticed is that a loved one feels the same way. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of understanding between you.
