Georgia Nicols horoscopes for Aug. 7, 2016

Moon Alert

We have the all clear today to do business. The Moon is in Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be careful today, especially those of you who are at work, because communications with others are subject to confusion and misunderstandings. In fact, it’s possible that someone will deliberately mislead you. Mark Twain said, “A lie can run around the world six times while the truth is still trying to put on its pants.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a rocky day for romance because misunderstandings will abound! Mercury is opposite fuzzy Neptune, which creates mental confusion. It also makes people want to lie or be loose with the truth to prevent revealing something. “Professor Plum did it with a candlestick in the library!”

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Postpone important family discussions for another day. Instead, relax at home today and keep things mellow. Take a breather from your efforts to redecorate and repair your home. However, if you think something fishy is going on — it is!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a poor day to do any kind of work that requires mental discipline or attention to detail because your mind is fuzzy. It’s as if you have too much Vaseline on your lens. If you must work, double check everything for mistakes.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Issues regarding money and cash flow are subject to errors today, which is why you should check every bill and invoice and count your change. Assume nothing. Make sure you know where your money and your funds are. In addition, guard your possessions against loss or theft.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today Mercury is in your sign sitting opposite fuzzy Neptune. This makes communications with others especially difficult. Even if you try to be clear, there will be misunderstandings because your conversations with others will be like two ships passing in the night.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today is the classic day where someone might swindle you, lie to you or misrepresent something. They might do this knowingly or innocently; however, either way, you end up with the wrong information. This could be why you feel a bit confused or anxious. Tread carefully.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Keep things light while socializing with friends and groups today. In fact, if you are involved in an important way with a group, be aware that communications are subject to confusion and misunderstandings. Double check everything. Make sure people know what it is you are trying to say and vice versa!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might try to dodge a tough situation today rather than come clean, especially if you are dealing with bosses and parents. Ironically, if you deliberately lie, you will probably be caught or discovered. The levels of confusion and disinformation are deep today. Yikes!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Do not try to proselytize or persuade others to agree with your political or religious views today because all communications with others are subject to confusion. It’s a crazy day! Wishful thinking will not necessarily make it so. Trust your gut instincts.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Postpone important discussions about shared property and inheritances because today is a poor day for these kind of talks. In fact, someone might deliberately mislead you or lie about something. If you think someone is being dishonest, you are probably right.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You will be ahead of the game today, if you know that you have to discount most important discussions with partners and close friends. Don’t even go there. Conversations are subject to confusion and misunderstandings, which mean you need to keep things light.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Hockey player Sidney Crosby (1987) shares your birthday today. You are dignified, considerate and generous to others because you empathize with their problems. You understand people, places and situations. This year something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish to make room for something new. It is a great year to travel. Get ready for a fresh, new cycle waiting in your future!
