Horoscopes today – Russell Grant’s star sign forecast for Tuesday, August 20

Aries

There has been speculation about a workshop or seminar being cancelled. Today you will receive confirmation that it will go ahead but at a different venue than was previously arranged. Because of this a number of people will pull out. You’re thinking of doing the same due to the inconvenience of having to make last-minute travel arrangements.

Taurus

You won’t be happy that you have been left to have to fumble around with a difficult job when you have had no experience in this area whatsoever. There are other people more qualified for this task so it is hard to understand exactly why they aren’t available when they are needed.

Gemini

You will be encouraged to approach a controversial situation with an open mind. This will uncover that some problems and issues have been exaggerated. A workplace problem will not be as catastrophic as it was made out to be by someone. A senior coworker will intervene to restore order out of chaos.

Cancer

It’s hard to concentrate on complicated problems when your mind is elsewhere. Yet it will be details you should be thinking about. It might help to talk to a close friend or relative who is aware of what is going on. You need to know you are making decisions based on fact.

Leo

You had hoped for a far happier day than the one you are currently experiencing. A disappointment linked to a legal or financial matter will feel like a dark cloud hovering over you until an alternative arrangement is confirmed. Issues you hadn’t been expecting to deal with will interrupt your usual schedule.

Virgo

Someone will have a go at you when you have done nothing wrong that you can think of. Eventually they will apologise and when they do they expect you to forgive and forget. This isn’t easy when they have shown a callous side to their nature you hadn’t realised was there.

Libra

You would always choose harmony to discord and sometimes the only way to avoid arguments with an obnoxious colleague is to accept their terms in a compromising fashion and hope that when you feel as strongly as they do now about other issues, they will do the same with yours.

Scorpio

Helping to find solutions to some difficult problems will make you the most popular person in your team. Are you looking for love? You’re likely to find it with someone whose creative skills fascinate you. They happen to be equally impressed with your current achievements.

Sagittarius

Agreeing on some sort of compromise will remove the tension between you and a colleague or older relative. Someone will accuse you of not being serious enough just because you are trying to take a calm and relaxed approach to a frustrating situation.

Capricorn

You won’t feel as nervous as a partner about a meeting that will bring a number of official people together. Although this kind of gathering can be quite intimidating, if you relax and join in the conversation, you will be given some useful tips concerning a professional or personal aim.

Aquarius

You cannot continue feeding other people’s egos when this means you are missing out on opportunities that should come to you. You’re being far too hard on yourself if you believe you should make sacrifices for someone who has recently done nothing for you. Stop giving your power away.

Pisces

Until a provisional offer, promotion or assignment is officially confirmed you will be asked to keep it to yourself. A supervisor has chosen you for this role because they believe in you but they still need to convince other higher-ups that you are the right person for the job.
