Horoscope for August 1

Don’t underestimate your capabilities. You often think your fussiness over details isn’t an asset. But it is. You have the ability to carry a broad concept into reality this year because of your attention to detail. You have a strong mix of precision and broad vision. You can understand big concepts yet deal with the details. If you are single, you could attract someone quite interesting. This person might be quite understated. If you are attached, once more, the two of you juggle the different roles involved in a union. VIRGO can be critical.
