Horoscopes today: Daily star sign predictions from Russell Grant on August 9 (2025)

It’s Friday, and one star sign is about to achieve a career goal, while another will take a break from their usual routines.

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)

Things are anything but easy. Work on a job project is well underway. The job is progressing reasonably well but there is still a lot to do. The time it is taking to get results will make you feel weary and frustrated. You won’t want to admit it but this project is getting boring.

Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21)

You are about to achieve a career goal or a money transaction will come through sooner than expected. A calm and rational discussion is necessary even though you may not have planned for this today. Decisions and agreements made now will help ensure a more secure future for yourself and your family.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21)

If you’re feeling unsure about how to handle a technical or mechanical issue, don’t hesitate to seek the advice of a professional. They will give guidance on the work that needs to be done and an idea of the costs involved. When it comes to family matters, you’re eager to lend a helping hand.

Cancer (June 22 - July 23)

You’re not feeling up to socialising in large groups. You’d rather relax at home with your family, enjoying activities that make you happy. If you’re chatting with someone on the phone or via text and there are matters you need to address, why not suggest meeting up for lunch?

Leo (July 24 - Aug 23)

It won’t be easy but try your best not to dominate when you’re working alongside a group of people and you’re all learning a new skill. Instead, be sure to actively listen to those who have expertise in the subject matter. While this task may not be the most difficult challenge, gaining a new qualification will mean a lot to you.

Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23)

If your partner or a housemate’s reckless spending is putting your hard-earned security at risk you need to address this issue sooner rather than later. Be sure to express your concerns openly and insist on having a discussion about how you can establish financial responsibilities.

Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23)

Almost everyone who is likely to be affected by a new project or procedure will support this effort. You are worried about the expense or the time it is likely to take to adapt to new routines. Attending to details will make you feel like you are making a valuable contribution.

Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)

If you decide to do so, you could pull strings behind the scenes. This could help you advance a career or personal ambition. You’re also making headway in financial and family matters although obtaining a direct response from a government agency isn’t going to be easy.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)

Taking a break from your usual routines will give you a chance to relax and recharge. Forget about work responsibilities or chores at home and take this chance to enjoy a day trip and explore different places. Immersing yourself in the sights and sounds of a different location will make for a refreshing change.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)

A creative task seems dull. It is not as colourful as you had expected it to be. Something is definitely lacking and it needs an imaginative touch. A friend or relative will have ideas that can bring about a beautiful transformation if you’re willing to put your trust in their suggestions.

Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)

The scale of a project you agreed to take on is just starting to sink in. There are many things that can go wrong and you are aware of this. Even so, you won’t stop until this job is finished. You will persevere and it will help to have the support of teammates who stick together through thick and thin.

Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)

Even well-meaning friends can give you misguided advice. You will know that someone close is making sincere suggestions but you would do best to trust your own instincts. You’ve done a fair amount of work on a creative project and although it isn’t finished it would be a shame to let someone else interfere at this point.
