Daily Horoscopes for Friday, August 24

We are just as easily misled by our own perceptions as we are by someone else now that the Sun opposes illusory Neptune. We could convince ourselves of almost anything we want to believe. Although we grow more creative as our imaginations run wild, it’s tricky discerning fact from fiction. But we don’t have to seek an escape route today; it will find us. The uplifting Sagittarius Moon reminds us that we can journey to places that offer us hope.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are eager to negotiate for the common good today, but you’re not ready to set aside your personal needs. You know all about your financial bottom line and may be afraid of reaching it. But don’t worry; things are not as grim as they appear. Try not to make too many impulsive judgments until you have all of the facts. Acting too soon might lead you into trouble you can simply avoid by planning in advance.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The adventurous Sagittarius Moon is fueling your emotional renewal, yet there’s also another influence bubbling up today. Nebulous Neptune brings a highly spiritual kind of love to your relationships, even if your friends confuse you with their actions. Fortunately, you should be able to draw on your common sense to get some perspective. But don’t pretend you know exactly what’s going on now; stay in touch with your uncertainty, even if it makes you uneasy. There’s magic to be found if you can surrender to the unknown.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may find yourself swinging back and forth between the largest possible view of life and the most specific details. Your imagination soars today, allowing you to see every issue from a global perspective. But it’s difficult for you to act on a grandiose vision. Bringing your mental meandering back down to earth will be rewarded now. Find small ways to move toward the big picture.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You aren’t as resistant to change as your co-workers think. After all, the Crab’s daily rhythms are intimately connected with the constantly shifting tides. But today, as emotional currents finally shift, it may be challenging to tell which way the waters will ultimately be flowing. Hold on to your current position for now. Wait a few days until the confusion clears before taking action.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

If a close friend or partner is hard to read, it may be that your own confusion is broadcasting mixed messages which now echo back to you. If you are uncertain about a relationship, don’t fall into the trap of pretending that everything is OK. By covering up your feelings today, you are setting the stage for more misunderstandings to surface later on. Be honest about what you need while also imagining the best possible outcome.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your spiritual energy is growing stronger and metaphysical interests may take on greater significance these days. Subtle changes are occurring now, even if their effects aren’t yet visible. Although there are big shifts on the horizon, they are already being activated in your subconscious. Quit worrying about the details today to fully benefit from what’s happening in your imagination.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are the uncontested champion of the balancing act, yet today you’re feeling unsettled as the cosmic conflict between the willful Sun and confusing Neptune now pulls you in two directions. Part of you is ascending into the spiritual realm as another part handles the very real limitations of the material world. You may idealize the situation, yet it is crucial to try to see things as they truly are. Honoring both sides — the invisible and the tangible — ensures that you’ll be ready for whatever happens next.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may not know where you are going these days, yet your role in the outer world is still very important to you. You wonder if you should pursue your career or place more attention on the spiritual dimensions of your soul. There are no quick and easy answers to this existential dilemma. Simplify the issues as much as you can and then let yourself feel what it’s like to linger in your own uncertainty. The longer you sustain the mystery, the easier the resolution will be when clarity finally arrives.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are often drawn toward the grandest ideas, since you enjoy living your life in a big way. You may not always attend to all the details, and sometimes they can come back to haunt you. You don’t have the inclination to return from your current dreams yet if you’re wandering on the outer edges of the universe. However, you might not have a choice if the hard cold truth requires you to pay close attention. Take your cues from reality and do the responsible thing.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The inspirational Sagittarius Moon tends to pull you away from more practical realms. It may be more difficult to keep both feet on the ground now with magical Neptune lifting you into the clouds of illusion. You might be required to solve complicated problems involving your relationships with friends or co-workers. Stick to the facts because there is great potential to misunderstand each other’s basic values. Listening with your heart helps to keep you on track.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

One-on-one relationships are a source of confusion today, especially if you don’t listen to what others are saying. It takes extra effort to hear the truth because your words can get in the way of the message. But don’t force your perspective on anyone else. The solution to the current tension comes from recognizing multiple points of view and allowing them to exist side by side now without panicking.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are quite wise to attend to the rigorous demands of your life by taking concrete action and checking off each item on your list of things to do. The truth is that you may find it very challenging to maintain focus today as the Sun opposes your key planet Neptune. You would rather spend time daydreaming, reading a book or going to a movie. Finish your work first; you can fully enjoy guilt-free time afterward to activate your imagination.
