General Daily Horoscope for Aug. 1st

You might not take the time to think about your future security because you assume that your financial situation will improve soon. However, you should be careful because you could needlessly waste money when everything looks good. You may wish that you didn’t spend so much today when you’re not so flush later on. There’s nothing wrong with having fun as long as you don’t go over your limit. Money can’t buy you happiness.

You may be very fixed in your naive belief that everything will turn out well, prompting you to let some important business slide today. You can positively impact your life by thinking that your dreams will come true, but you still must pay attention to observing limits or you might face unpleasant consequences. There’s a lot at stake now, so don’t bet your success on the notion that everything will somehow improve on its own in the future. Apply yourself diligently in the present moment to slant the odds in your favor.

Changes in your relationships at work may cause you some concern, but your worry fades when you see that the dark clouds have silver linings. It’s invigorating when you realize that whatever is stuck needs to move to make room for positive change. Although you can’t see the details of your future, you know it’s better than what’s going on now. Don’t finalize your plans yet; it’s better to live with uncertainty for a few more days.

You like the idea of being part of a team now, but you don’t want to sacrifice your values just to be accepted. Fortunately, you are able to stay connected with the group, even if your goals ultimately differ from theirs. You can have your cake and eat it too as long as you remember to practice the art of inclusion. You don’t have to withdraw to be yourself. Others will appreciate you just the way you are.

You may be extremely excited now that sweet Venus in your sign is connecting with electric Uranus. Happily, there is great potential everywhere you look. However, all that glitters is not gold. You cannot turn every possibility into a winner. Keep in mind that you won’t be able to sustain your current optimism forever, so conserve your resources and work to make an opportunity pay off soon.

You are humming with anticipation today, for you can see how the present moment holds the precious seeds for fantastic things to come. Unfortunately, events are moving quickly, increasing your anxiety, even if the challenge is also very exciting. Naturally, you want to be happy, but may be scared that whatever good happens now won’t last. You can ensure a better outcome if you build slowly and methodically on a strong foundation.

Your best shot at happiness today comes as a total surprise, so set aside your previous agenda and be ready for something cool to happen. Instead of doing everything the same old way, take a break from your regular routine. Habitual patterns may be reassuring, but can also limit your opportunities. Acting spontaneously now could lead you to a truly memorable experience.

An unexpected event can turn your day upside down. Even if you planned to spend a simple day at work, things could get out of hand quickly. Resistance is futile; don’t try to control what happens today. If you fearfully attempt to go back to the way things were, you could miss out on a lot of fun.

Your life seems to be undergoing rapid change and you’re thrilled with the notion of riding the currents wherever they take you. You have no idea where the tides are carrying you, yet you’re eager to head out on this great adventure, anyway. Don’t assume that you’re really ready to leave just because everything looks good. Taking your time to put everything in order now will ensure that you’ll actually reach your destination.

You may need to regain control by slowing down or you could be forced to use your emergency brake to temporarily stop everything. Unfortunately, these tactics won’t likely bring you the stability you now seek. Additionally, letting your fears influence your decisions is a big mistake and could sour a perfectly wonderful situation. Luckily, you’re not in any danger as long as you continue to flow with the current energy.

This is an exciting day because charming Venus is harmonizing with your key planet Uranus. You are looking good and feeling even better. For now, you’re the one who’s able to navigate through the stormy weather, so others may come to you for advice and leadership. Do not give them the party line. Your friends might not want to hear the truth, but your eclectic perspective is more valuable than telling them what they want to hear.

Your traditional planet Jupiter squares the Sun today to fill your sails with the winds of change. You are charged up and raring to go, but things get tricky because you may not have a destination in mind yet. Your confidence is soaring and you know you’ll reach your goals — if you could only decide what you want to do. Slow down and give yourself time to reconsider your priorities before you find yourself drifting aimlessly out to sea.
