Horoscope for Monday, August 2, 2021 - Toronto Star

After a rather sluggish weekend, some of the zip in our step returns as we're looking to delve into anything and everything that piques our interest. Since many of us are in an industrious kind of a mood, it's a good time to host meetings, catch up on messages and email, and brainstorm ideas. Setting time aside to brush up on our skills or training is also encouraged, as self-improvement is also a theme for the day. However, we'll just need to make sure that we're not spreading ourselves too thin or being too tough on ourselves along the way.

ARIES

(March 21 to April 19)

A great deal of patience is needed today when it comes to moving forward with a plan or goal. The answer isn't "no," it's just not right now.

TAURUS

(April 20 to May 20)

Take care that you're not measuring yourself solely by your accomplishments. Sometimes just being yourself is enough to be proud of.

GEMINI

(May 21 to June 20)

You might not like something that you hear today, but it's something that you need to hear. Try to look at the situation objectively and take it as a teachable moment.

CANCER

(June 21 to July 22)

Your insecurities could be triggered today in a way that leaves you feeling anxious. Take a moment to breathe. You have more going for you than you think.

LEO

(July 23 to Aug. 22)

Try to avoid making comparisons between yourself and your peers. If your personal experience differs from that of others, that's a good thing. You were born to stand out.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

You might be dealing with a bit of stage fright today. Don't avoid the spotlight. If there's anyone who knows what they're doing, it's you. Show off your skills.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

Don't be afraid to go your own way. There are times when it makes more sense to be true to yourself rather than compromise for the sake of others.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

If your confidence is a bit shaky today, consider it par for the course. It's not a reflection of you or your aptitude. Take a step back and regroup.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

You're called to be more realistic about a plan or a goal, which could be a bit deflating. However, partnering up with the right person could help you out significantly.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

It's time to put the word "no" in your vocabulary today when it comes to taking on a responsibility or job. Not everything needs to be yours to take on.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

Be mindful of going too far out of your way to impress people. You're already impressive. Take some time to acknowledge your beauty, inside and out.

PISCES

(Feb. 19 to March 20)

Try not to let perfectionism discourage you from making good on your plans or dreams. Making mistakes is a part of being successful. What can you learn from yours?

FOR TODAY'S BIRTHDAY

You're industrious and hardworking, always aiming for your next goal or achievement. You set the bar high for yourself, and because of this you usually find success. People respect you for your integrity and leadership. Although failure is not an option for you, you can be extra hard on yourself when you do fail. Therefore, you need to celebrate yourself even during the moments when you make mistakes. Surrounding yourself with supportive friends helps too. This year, expect some major changes in your professional life as you go in a more emotionally gratifying direction.
