Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 22

It’s not easy to follow through on whatever you start today. You probably have already promised more than you can deliver, and noisy distractions make it even harder now to concentrate on any particular task. Fortunately, you can turn a difficult situation to your advantage when necessary, so focus your intentions on the present moment and make some magic happen.

Although you are able to accomplish a lot today, it’s challenging to keep up with so many things pulling you in a variety of directions. You could quickly exhaust yourself if you don’t set sensible limits early in the day. You truly want to please others now, making it hard to say no to their enticing offers. Ultimately, you can gain more respect for stating what you can’t do than falling short of your unrealistic promises.

The Moon’s return to inquisitive Gemini has you asking one question after another about what you’re doing and where you’re going. It’s wise to take time to be alone now so you can think about your goals, even if it’s tempting to distract yourself with social activities. Don’t let your desire for fun keep you from following through with what you know is best.

Your ability to play it low key enables you to show up at work without revealing too much about your personal life. Others may think that they can see the true you, but you might be turning on the charm in order to hide something you don’t want to talk about. Trust your intuition now; don’t divulge your feelings until you’re more comfortable with what you have to say.

You are in the midst of an internal battle, although it may play out now in the realm of relationships. The radiant Sun in your generous sign encourages you to express the love that’s in your heart while its opposition to spiritual Neptune dissipates the boundaries that would normally prevent you from going further. Unfortunately, your friends won’t be of much help now because they’ll just tell you to throw caution to the wind. Being brave is admirable, but you could regret your actions if you act foolishly.

It’s tough to make a job-related decision today, for you wish you could travel down both paths that diverge at a fork in the road. Even if you can delay your final judgment for a few days, you may not be able to avoid making a choice about your future. Take your time and consider all of the alternatives before agreeing to any long-term commitments.

You might want everyone to know that you’re up for anything the group decides today. You may even believe that it’s more important now to support your friends and co-workers than it is to further your own agenda. But you want to enjoy yourself as much as anyone else, so don’t be so fast to minimize your desires for the sake of the community.

You are motivated to shine professionally now with the Sun in your 10th House of Status. You are often content to work behind the scenes, yet today you yearn to be on center stage. You are doing a great job and want everyone to know about your superhuman efforts. You may feel as if a new set of priorities is replacing the old list of rules. Don’t question your objectives; just push toward them and see how it feels. You can always return to your previous agenda if you so choose.

Your goals may become increasingly significant now that someone rattles your nerves when he or she doesn’t support your program. It’s hard for you to understand why others aren’t more concerned about the future, and it makes you feel slightly out of control. Instead of attempting to tighten the reins, it’s smarter to loosen them for a while and see where it all goes.

You can feel the Moon’s restless tug as she pulls you one way and then another. You might attempt to disregard your shifting emotions, but you don’t seem to have a lot of control now over your feelings. Let the whimsical winds carry you along because attempts to alter their direction are fruitless. Take scenic routes and detours whenever possible today, for your horizons widen as soon as you step off the beaten path.

You may be struggling to find your way in a relationship now, even if everything seems copasetic to others. You’re hopeful that the current tension will dissipate all by itself before emotions erupt. But unspoken issues lurk beneath the surface, like monsters in a nightmare waiting for you to let down your guard. The Moon is in your 5th House of Romance, so keep shining the light of your awareness to bring up your fears where they can finally be put in their proper perspective.

Your key planet Jupiter opens doors faster than you’re able to walk through them today. Oddly enough, if you do grab on to an opportunity, you still may have to wait a while until it begins to pay off. It might feel as if you have been here before; somehow, it seems like the wheels of time are turning backward. Nevertheless, keep looking ahead; it’s the future that’s calling and not the past.
