Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, August 30

We return to the rational world today after yesterday’s deep dive into the realm of emotions. The conceptual Aquarius Moon harmonizes with strict Saturn, tightly binding our thoughts to reality. But an awkward alignment between the Sun and quirky Uranus makes it difficult to trust the facts. We’re rescued from our own thoughts by the Moon’s shift into psychic Pisces at 6:30 pm EDT when intuition and imagination replace logical analysis.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might not be able to express your feelings easily today, yet you’re very clear about your position. You have a responsibility to a group of people, family or work associates, and you believe that you should withhold your personal perspective for the good of everyone involved. This discretion is a smart move and others will appreciate your self-restraint. Just be sure to stay in touch with your emotions even if you keep them to yourself now.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You’re normally capable of staying calm in a tough situation, but this detachment could lead to an emotional storm later if intense feelings finally overflow their banks. This could be one of those times when inconsequential matters provoke strong responses that are out of proportion with the current events. Look within to find the true source of your angst before making an unnecessary scene.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your senses are extra sharp today, giving you the ability to apply logic to a complex set of circumstances. You’re able to see beneath the surface and understand why things are the way they are as long as you don’t jump to a conclusion without considering the facts. Ineffective arguments cannot stand up to your mental acuity now, so strip away the fluff and go for the core issues. The right words hold the power to make real changes.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

A sharp word can be piercing today, quickly stimulating an old emotional wound. Thankfully, this criticism could be a healing experience if the source is someone you trust. Acknowledging the pain frees you from its grip, providing that you are really ready to let go. It’s natural to hold on to the past, but sometimes the price is too high. You have much to gain if you can listen with a flexible mind and an open heart.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your power of persuasion is quite strong today. Fortunately, you can convince anyone of almost anything if you have your story in order, along with all the facts. It’s the combination of precision and passion that puts you over the top. Rehearse your presentation if you must, but get it right the very first time because you may not get a second chance.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

There is a delicate balance between clearly stating your position and coming across as being overly critical. Pick the right situations to express yourself so you can avoid the need to correct any social errors. However, even if you believe you’re being helpful today, others may feel attacked. A little diplomacy and tact goes a long way to soothe fragile nerves.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re in a rather playful mood today, ready to toss out an occasional flippant remark. But be careful with the teasing because others may not get your jokes. You’re exceptionally creative now, so you might want to go back to a project you recently set aside and make a few more adjustments. You have a good sense of what to keep and what to purge, enabling you to turn a rough idea into a polished product.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The key to your current success now is in understanding your priorities. Luckily, you should have a keen sense of which projects need your attention at this time, so cut through the clutter and get to the essentials as quickly as possible. However, communicating your message to others requires clarity and patience. Don’t expect anyone to work effectively without precise instructions. Take your time and say exactly what you mean to get the job done right.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your imagination is often so filled with big ideas that it’s difficult to know which ones are most relevant. You may feel pressured to make a choice today and, fortunately, the sense of urgency works in your favor by forcing you to get off the fence. Nevertheless, it’s still hard to pick one path over all the other possibilities. Instead of getting lost in endless analysis now, trust your intuition.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Being cynical can be a curse because you tend to take a negative view that rules out a great number of possibilities. However, healthy skepticism brings you the ability to see the differences between empty promises and real prospects. An idea that you recently rejected may seem useful today, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable. Push past your personal preferences to find the deeper truth.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon in your sign increases your mental fortitude. You can use intellectual force combined with your power of intent to get what you want. However, you might become so passionate in your beliefs now that you ignore others, refusing to listen to what’s being said. Don’t fall prey to thinking that you know more about the truth than anyone else does. Use your imagination today along with your intelligence.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Usually, you feel honored when people trust you enough to tell you their secrets. However, your knowledge of sensitive information can become problematic today. It’s difficult to know how much to keep to yourself and what can be shared now on a need-to-know basis. Telling secrets has tremendous power to help or to hinder. Nurture those you love by considering their needs before saying something you might later regret.
