Horoscopes today – Russell Grant’s star sign forecast for Monday, August 19

Aries

You’re doing too much. You know this and yet you are telling yourself that all is fine and you are able to cope. Is this really so or are you deceiving yourself? When you find yourself completely unprepared for a difficult task ahead you might accept a welcome offer of help that comes your way.

Taurus

You’ve been too trusting of some people and you are starting to realise this now. Someone has been manipulating events for their own benefit and something they do today will reveal this in such a way that you can no longer ignore their unscrupulous behaviour.

Gemini

A meeting that is quickly arranged will catch many people off guard. A senior colleague has been quietly watching recent happenings and although they aren’t yet ready to share their observations or their own plans, they will be hinting at taking action soon.

Cancer

Worrying about an interview, event or meeting that’s coming up fairly soon makes you oblivious to something that’s going on right under your nose. Someone is up to no good and they will get away with it too unless you open your eyes and realise they are not being honest with you.

Leo

Although nothing hugely exciting is likely to happen, you will still be happy with how some events unfold. Someone close will be grateful to have you around and your help in solving a dilemma they find themselves in will mean a lot to them. Making sacrifices for someone you care for comes naturally to you.

Virgo

Togetherness should be the theme and you’re doing your best to please a partner but apparently, for now at least, your best isn’t good enough. Something strange seems to be going on when traits of your nature they used to admire, now seem to annoy them. Nothing you do is good enough for them nowadays.

Libra

You may have experienced tougher days at work but a conflict with coworkers that intensifies can feel quite unpleasant at the time. Talking to a senior colleague will help you view things in a new and more optimistic light. This disagreement may actually bring some important issues to the surface.

Scorpio

You’re looking for ways to improve your long-term prospects. Don’t overlook an unexpected chance to display your creativity. A problem that your boss or a senior colleague has been puzzling over will be solved easily once you come up with an imaginative and very clever solution.

Sagittarius

You intend to participate in a debate that feels important to you. Your main aim is to persuade potential supporters that your ideas are logical and your proposed plans, although admittedly ambitious, will help alleviate tension in a particular area that has been escalating.

Capricorn

A fear of failing and letting other people down is keeping you from making a move. Someone who admires your skills and respects your work ethic will be encouraging you to push yourself just a little further. With their help you will break away from routines that are becoming boring.

Aquarius

It doesn’t make any sense at all for you to continue being nice to someone who is being awkward, difficult and scathing towards you. If pleasing other people means you are suffering yourself, you need to seriously consider the true worth of these relationships.

Pisces

You will receive a fantastic offer and this should have you jumping up and down for joy. The problem is, with your commitments elsewhere, you might wonder if you can really manage it all. After discussing it with a partner or close friend, you will agree that this is an opportunity you can’t pass up.
