Today's horoscope for August 1 as Pisces focuses on their health

It’s Friday, and one star sign pays more attention to their inner monologue, while another feels a lot of pressure to help others.

There are 12 zodiac signs - Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces - and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.

These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here's what today could bring for your horoscope - and what you can do to be prepared.

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)

Early on, some exciting news will give you a lot to consider. You or someone who is close to you will receive word of an inheritance, small win or bonus. The excitement of hearing about an unexpected gain will be short-lived as there are a few outstanding debts to consider.

Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21)

Make caution and safety a priority no matter where you happen to be. This warning lingers until nightfall as any efforts to take bold actions could end in disappointment. Problems that look difficult can be overcome, with care.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21)

You will happily share a smile with a stranger. It will give you pleasure to lavish an expensive gift on a distant relative or your partner. That’s all well and good but pause first and consider your finances before getting out your wallet.

Cancer (June 22 - July 23)

Once again, you could find yourself lamenting over your finances, realising you've overspent beyond your means. Even so, take heart, as your financial troubles are on the verge of being resolved, thanks to the support of a generous relative. Just be honest with them when they need answers.

Leo (July 24 - Aug 23)

Step back from your daily grind for the sake of your happiness and future success. Allow yourself to dream and imagine the person you aspire to be. Go with your imagination even if it takes you to unexpected places. You might want to act immediately on a sudden idea.

Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23)

Do your best to encourage peace and harmony. If the atmosphere is getting tense, take a break from your usual routine and head for a place that feels more tranquil and inviting. It is possible to find a refuge from the challenges of everyday life. Problems will persist but you can take a break from them.

Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23)

Some bizarre ideas are being shared in online and personal conversations. You can imagine where these might lead and almost believe every one could be a success. Even so, avoid making hasty decisions. This isn’t a day for reckless actions or risks. Delay important choices.

Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)

Outside responsibilities are starting to get you down. Too many people expect too much from you. Work pressures increase and it will be a loved one who truly understands what you are going through. Show your appreciation by treating them to a meal at a restaurant this evening.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)

A dilemma facing you now will not be easily resolved. Contention in a group will be more pronounced than ever. You have your own thoughts about this but you aren’t sure how much to actually reveal. One way to avoid making mistakes is to listen to the quiet voice within.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)

The receipt of a large sum of money will allow you to pay off loans and debts that have been a burden for far too long. This is something you should feel proud of. Going forward, you need to make it a priority to live within your means. Do this and you will avoid accumulating more debt.

Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)

You will be offered ways to advance your career. This is your chance to explore some promising future possibilities. You don’t need to rush to respond to the first one that comes your way. Stay alert and steer clear of scams and untrustworthy people.

Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)

If you're feeling unwell, ignoring your health and forcing yourself to get on with responsibilities even when you aren’t up to it can lead to chronic fatigue and stress. To restore your energy and strength, take a break and moderate your work enthusiasm.
