Horoscope today: Daily guide to what the stars have in store for YOU – August 5, 2024

Mercury turns retrograde today. Cue missed calls, disappearing emails, and printer-rage. 

Although if I had details of my printer’s date of manufacture, I reckon it would definitely confirm that it was created under Mercury retrograde! 

Yet even if words fail us, we don’t lose the power to communicate. And as Venus links with Neptune and Pluto we can find subtle ways to send messages.

 If the usual signals jam, by being creative, our hearts can paint pictures worth a thousand words.

Major, significant, cosmic alignments are still stirring up drama and change. The Mars-Uranus conjunction, earlier this month, was the first part of a process. It opened up a door. It started something. 

Mercury turns retrograde today. Cue missed calls, disappearing emails, and printer-rage

That ‘something’ is now beginning to happen in earnest. Don’t be scared. Be excited. Inspired. Elated, even. You have every reason to be all those things. 

This week, on Friday, the 2nd of August, Venus connects with Uranus. Invite some celestial magic into your life, with 50% Off all Birth Charts plus a FREE Personal Profile.

ARIES 

 March 21 – April 20

Not only have you been going through a lot, you’re surrounded by people who are experiencing tension. And as you begin to feel less pressure, you’re more than able to empathise with those who still feel stressed. And, more importantly, you understand the likely knock-on effects of having so much on your plate. In an ideal world, you’d be able to find an easy way out of a difficult situation; one that benefitted you, and everyone else involved. You might need a sprinkle of fairy dust. But today, that’s not going to be impossible. 

It’s a time to seek new excitement and freedom. To invite the magic of novelty, innovation and adventure back into your life. This is exactly what this Venus Uranus square can bring. Invite some celestial magic into your life, with 50% Off all Birth Charts plus a FREE Personal Profile. 

TAURUS 

April 21 – May 21

Some people are immune to caffeine. They can drink a coffee at bedtime and it doesn’t stop them sleeping. Wow. But imagine what their dreams must be like! With practice we can get used to almost any stimulus. The noise of traffic zooming by? It doesn’t take long before we don’t notice. High levels of stress? We adapt. You’ve been dealing with more pressure than you realise. Today, your ruler’s strong position brings a chance to take a break. With some thought, you can find an easy way to take more control of what’s going on. 

 You could find that the number of people in your ‘fan club’ increases dramatically. Let the Venus Uranus Square invite some celestial magic into your life!

GEMINI 

May 22 – June 22

Every day brings new possibilities. Which is great. But it’s also frustrating. It means we can never be quite sure where we stand; as soon as we think we’ve worked everything out a new option pops up that makes us question ourselves again. You’re currently under pressure to come up with answers or make important decisions. As your ruler, Mercury, turns retrograde it jogs your memory and gives you time to reflect. And that process can be revelatory. Don’t expect instant solutions. But know that you’ll have clarity soon.

CANCER 

June 23 – July 23

Some people make difficult tasks look easy. Others do the exact opposite. Even the most straightforward undertaking turns into a complex conundrum. Actually, it’s not that simple. Most of us are capable of both options; it depends on our mood, and the context. You’re dealing with a confusing issue. But you might have managed to confound yourself with too many questions and ideas. Either way, if you resolve to take the wisest, simplest route forwards today, you can sort out a messy situation with surprising ease. 

Invite the magic of novelty, innovation and adventure back into your life. This is exactly what the coming Venus Uranus Square can bring.

LEO 

July 24 – August 23

 It might be your birthday season, but even though you’re not as young as you were you’re not as old as you fear. Think of all the experience you’ve gained; it’s given you the tools to deal with situations that might once have made you feel vulnerable. And you haven’t yet got to the point where you don’t care how things turn out. The current cosmic climate enables you to turn a source of trouble into a chance to make your world a better place. When you see an opportunity today, grab it. It will boost your zest for life.

VIRGO 

August 24 – September 23    

Everyone has days when they wonder what the point is. Although these moments tend to come when we’re stressed, they can appear out of the blue, when we feel like we’re floating along with a good wind in our sails. Which is why it’s hard to work out, with confidence, what the point is. Our mood has a big impact on our sense of wellbeing. When we feel good, everything must be good. Today, just be aware that a transient source of frustration shouldn’t be interpreted as a sign of long-term disadvantage. It’s not.

You could find that the number of people in your ‘fan club’ increases dramatically. Let the Venus Uranus Square invite some celestial magic into your life!

LIBRA 

September 24 – October 23   

Be reassured. Everything’s going to work out OK. It’s just that on route to that state of wellbeing there might be a bit of drama and upheaval. So, what’s new?! Doesn’t life always contain a degree of emotional stress and creative tension? What you’re experiencing is no more (or less) than usual. It’s just that it’s disguised in unfamiliar attire. If you want to save yourself a lot of trouble, and hasten the day when this problem is solved, try taking a good look at it. Not only will you recognise it. You’ll know exactly how to sort it.

SCORPIO 

 October 24 – November 22  

Have you got a big question you want answered? Excellent! Are you immersed in a cloud of uncertainty? Perfect! Then today’s alignment involving your ruler, Pluto, has arrived with perfect timing. Somehow, it would be wrong if you felt everything was sorted, settled and straightforward. Recently, your journey has been taking convoluted twists and turns. If you take this opportunity to reflect on all you’ve experienced, you’ll be able to see how the challenges have empowered you to move forwards, on an easier path. 

Invite the magic of novelty, innovation and adventure back into your life. This is exactly what the coming Venus Uranus Square can bring.

SAGITTARIUS 

November 23 – December 21   

You respond well to challenges. Actually, you enjoy dealing with them more than you enjoy life when things are bumbling along. Since you’re good at dealing with crises, when the going gets tough, you rise to the top of your game. So what happens when you’re charged up, ready to leap to the rescue, but the situation resolves without your intervention? What do you do with that adrenaline? There’s an easier path to take today. As for all that energy you’ve got? You can invest it in doing something that fulfils you, in a healing way.

CAPRICORN 

When we arrive on planet Earth, we don’t come with a list of things to worry about. And young kids are never too busy to play. It’s only through experience that we learn about tension and stress. We watch other people being hard on themselves, and we copy their MO; being time-stretched seems like a grown-up thing – so we don’t question the wisdom of living with this mindset. You can let go of a source of concern today. With a change of attitude, you can find an approach that gives you more time to have fun.

AQUARIUS 

January 21 – February 19

We all have techniques we use to prepare ourselves to deal with tense situations. Whether it’s puffing out our chest, stiffening our shoulders, or furrowing our brows, our bodies reflect our mood. Yet, like the Grand Old Duke of York in the nursery rhyme, we invest lots more time into marshalling our troops than we spend engaging in battles. Are you metaphorically marching up and down hills, expecting to have to deal with a confrontation? If you let your guard down, you’ll see that a source of tension has passed. Phew.

PISCES 

February 20 – March 20

We know our friends and they know us. And, we like one another. That’s, in theory, how our close relationships work. It’s the basic principle of building good social bonds. Yet sometimes, we realise we don’t know as much as we think about our nearest and dearest. Or that they’ve overlooked/forgotten something critical about us. Actually, even the ‘liking’ part sometimes feels challenging. Yikes! If there’s tension in a key relationship in your world now, know that this is just part of getting to know someone more deeply.

Invite the magic of novelty, innovation and adventure back into your life. This is exactly what the coming Venus Uranus Square can bring.
