Your daily horoscope: August 1, 2024

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

You may think you can go your own way and do your own thing but if you are going to reach the top you will need some assistance. The more of an effort you make to network this year the more likely it is that your career will soar.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Keep telling yourself that your actions CAN make a difference and keep pushing until you start making progress. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, so why not take that step today? Start walking and keep going.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

Something you have been working on for quite some time does not seem to be making much progress, so maybe now would be a good time to get a second opinion from someone whose judgment you trust. A minor adjustment could have major benefits.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

You have spent far too much time lately thinking about what is best for other people and now you must think about what is best for you. It’s not wrong to make your own happiness your No. 1 priority, because then those around you will be happy too.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Make a point of letting a loved one do their own thing today. You may think you know what is best for them, and no doubt you do, but sometimes you have to let them take risks. Even if they get it wrong they will learn from the experience.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

The sun in your sign means the gods of fortune are on your side at the moment and if you are smart you will listen to what your inner voice tells you and act on it without a moment’s hesitation. You already know what is best for yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

If you want something enough you will find a way to make it happen, even though friends and family members will shake their heads in disbelief and say you are crazy for believing in the impossible. They will change their tune when your dream comes true.

Missed one of your horoscopes? Here are the most recent days’ forecasts:

Some of your colleagues seem to believe that to get ahead in the world they must consider other people as rivals and enemies. That isn’t true. There are enough good things to go around for everyone, so work with people rather than against them today.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

You may be in a thoughtful mood at the moment but there are practical issues that will need to be dealt with over the next 24 hours, so don’t disconnect completely. Focus on what must be done, do it well, then go back to your meditations.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

The pace of life has picked up a lot of late and you are loving every moment of it. What occurs between now and the weekend will require you to think fast and act fast, so don’t waste your energy on trivial pursuits and trivial people.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

What occurs over the next few days has the potential to turn your world upside down and because you are quite conservative by nature it may be an unwelcome shock. However, this particular upheaval will bring new opportunities – so use it, don’t fear it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

It does not matter if the whole wide world believes you are crazy, the fact that you have faith in your ideas and your abilities means you are at least halfway to success already. The efforts you make today will yield amazing results later in the year.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

People in positions of authority may be getting on your case more than you would like but the fact is they can see that you are not living up to your full potential. If you act on their advice today you will benefit from it significantly later on.
