Your daily horoscope: August 5, 2025

HOROSCOPES

You need to start asking yourself the sort of questions that appear to have no easy answers. The deeper you look into what is going on in the world the more you will discover there is in fact a pattern behind it, one that is actually quite encouraging.

Aries (March 21 – April 20):

If you maintain a positive outlook and insist on seeing a setback as an opportunity in disguise you will accomplish something remarkable today. Ignore those who say you are expecting too much of yourself, because you should be expecting more.

Taurus (April 21 – May 21):

The past few weeks have seen you at your most imaginative and your objective for the next few weeks must be to take your ideas and turn them into something concrete and lasting. Strive to set new standards of creative and artistic excellence.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21):

Nothing in life truly happens by chance and if you look closely at recent events you will realize that they were nudging you along a new path. Once you recognize that fact you can start moving consciously in the right direction.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23):

There has been a lot of coming and going in your life in recent weeks and you could do with a bit of a rest. However, there will be more activity over the next few days, especially on the home front where your affection will be much in demand.

Leo (July 24 – Aug. 23):

The fact that you are optimistic by nature means you rarely give in to the kind of negative thinking that afflicts some of your friends and relatives. Make it your business today to take the joy you feel for life and extend it to other people.

Virgo (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Your enthusiasm for something you have been working on will wane over the next 24 hours but it’s no big deal, in fact it may even be good. The fact that this project has not brought the rewards you desired suggests it may be time to ditch it.

Libra (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

Energy planet Mars moves into your sign tomorrow and almost immediately the world around you will seem a more vibrant place. If you feel the urge to embark on some kind of adventure don’t try to talk yourself out of it, just go!

Scorpio (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

The best way to resolve a dispute is to decide that it no longer means anything to you. If others want to get angry and antagonistic about it today that’s up to them but you are under no obligation to follow their example.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

If someone makes you the proverbial offer you cannot refuse today you should do your homework and see if the offer is on the level. It could be that on this occasion they are not exaggerating and the financial risk may be worth it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

Try not to push yourself too hard over the next few days. As Mars moves into the career area of your chart there will be opportunities to move up in the world but you don’t have to chase success in one mad rush. Take your time and do it right.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

The fact that you have been held back from following your dream will make the events of the next few days even more dramatic and welcome. As Mars moves into the most adventurous area of your chart there will be no stopping you.

Pisces (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

If you focus on what you are good at over the next 24 hours you will break through that invisible barrier that has been holding you back. The more your horizons were limited in the past the more expansive your vision will be now.
