Your Daily Horoscope for Friday, August 6

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Duties calls! You may need to put plans for a relaxing day with a certain, special company on hold for the weekend as people pull you from several directions – namely work, friends and family. The key to managing it all without losing your mind in the process is to regroup and prioritise.

Leo

July 23-August 22

Ruled by the dynamic sun, and a fire sign, you are one of the feistier signs of the zodiac. Today with the golden orb opposing restrictive Saturn you may be more prone to taking things personally. This could result in you snapping at someone for no good reason on being more aggressive than usual. Calm your farm and take a deep breath.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

This is the perfect time to mix business with pleasure, virtually speaking. A work/social setting will be the perfect backdrop for networking and making valuable contacts. You may even find your future business partner or investor. Don’t be afraid to offer your business card or pick someone’s brain. A little schmoozing will go a long way and is bound to open doors.

Libra

September 23-October 22

Make the most of the last few days of communicative Mercury in your sector of friendship. If you’ve been meaning to clear the air with someone close, question their motives or confide a deep secret there’s no time like the present. This is also a unique time to reshuffle your priorities and think about what truly makes you smile.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

Mercury, the communicator of the zodiac who likes to talk a lot, is in your sector of career, image and status for just a few more days – make the most of it! This is the perfect time to share your inner most feelings with mentors, bosses and parental figures. If you are one of the more candid and open Scorpio this is the best time to just listen.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

The stars are bringing out your courageous, confident and adventurous Saggie spirit, so you’ll feel ready to take on new challenges and push the envelope! Although you have bucket loads of energy just be aware of your tendency to spread yourself thin. Try to be discerning so that you don’t bite off more than you can chew.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Mercury, the cosmic communicator, is in your sector associated with windfalls and other people’s money for just a few more days. This is the ideal time to settle any debts, clarify terms and conditions, follow through with negotiations and tie up any sort of loose ends concerning third parties. It’s also a good time to bury bad psychological habits.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

As a sociable person you tend to have a broad circle of friends and are constantly welcoming new people into the fold. Today, however, you just may realise that you could have been giving your energy to the wrong people. Weed out acquaintances from true friendships and pay more attention to those who matter.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

An inconvenient truth may cause waves. Uncomfortable as it seems, facing reality will enable you to tear down old structures and make room for something fresh. This situation calls for honesty but also tact – don’t let the anticipation of off-loading frazzle you or you’ll come off as brash. Meanwhile, a contentious money matter will settle down.
