Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, August 6

Creativity is on the rise today as the dramatic Leo New Moon at 5:50 pm EDT marks a clear departure from our past. We want to break free from emotional attachments to start a new cycle that emphasizes the expression of love since this lunation trines radical Uranus. However, we need to watch our step or our roaring bravado can overstate our case. Leo radiates energy from the heart, so feelings are easily revealed but are difficult to take back.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your spontaneity is on the loose and your love life may be on the upswing with today’s affectionate Leo New Moon falling in your 5th House of Romance. Things are cooking and all you have to do is stir the stew. But beware, for there are fears brewing in your own subconscious that can prevent you from enjoying the goodies that seem so close. Focus on the positive while rationally considering the alternatives.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

It may be time to plan a party at home or head out on the town with close friends or family. Today’s Leo New Moon lands in your 4th House of Domestic Conditions, but it isn’t all about taking care of chores or responsibilities. This lunation is simply about experiencing pleasure with those you love the most. Although the fun and games don’t have to happen today, at least start planning now so you can fully enjoy yourself during the days ahead.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s a magical day when you believe that you can talk anyone into seeing things your way now that the demonstrative Leo New Moon activates your 3rd House of Communication. You’re quite optimistic that you can get your message across, but your interactions may be clouded with confusion anyway. Don’t be overly concerned with other people’s reactions to your point of view. Decide what’s most important for you, but there’s no need to push too hard to bring an idea to fruition today. Go with the flow and trust the process.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Sometimes your peers don’t appreciate your competence because you’re so adept at supporting others. Thankfully, you can proudly strut your stuff without being too dramatic today. It feels natural to be in the spotlight now while the Leo New Moon resides in your 2nd House of Self-Worth. Don’t shy away from the recognition you deserve when others appreciate the special magic you bring to the party.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you may be starting a new and exciting project now, building momentum still could take some time. This New Moon in your expressive sign inspires you to share your plans, which is the first step on your new journey. But don’t pretend to have all the angles covered; there are still plenty of details to be ironed out. Maintaining your enthusiasm is the key to your success, so explore ways to sustain your energy without cooling down the heat of your passion.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although many people take a break for the summer, this may be a very busy time of year for you. Today’s Leo New Moon in your 12th House of Privacy suggests there’s lots happening that’s invisible to others — so much that it makes you a bit anxious now. Avoid getting into conflicts with anyone for petty reasons. You can’t afford to waste energy if you want to finish everything you start. Choose your battles carefully; save your fire for the things that really matter.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your social calendar seems to be more important than anything else now that the outgoing Leo New Moon highlights your 11th House of Friends and Wishes, but your signals might be getting crossed. It’s challenging to tell if your desires are grounded in reality or if they are just a product of your own fantasies. Nevertheless, it’s not a good idea to isolate yourself. Even if you are unsure of your motives, let loose and have an enjoyable time.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are receiving an energetic boost to your career today from the lively Leo New Moon in your 10th House of Public Life. Nevertheless, your job — what you do to put bread on your table — may remain unaltered. This New Moon impacts your place in the outer world. Although you might wish that you had more privacy, your responsibilities draw the spotlight toward you now. However, there’s no need to make any immediate changes as long as you spend some time reassessing your long-term goals.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are suddenly riding wild waves of optimism now as you look to your future. But even as you’re feeling your Sagittarian oats with today’s Leo New Moon in your 9th House of Big Ideas, you may also be hiding something that you don’t want others to know. A seed of self-doubt could sour your plans, especially if others catch wind of it. Be discreet; keep your concerns to yourself for a while longer. Stay cool; it might take a couple of weeks to see how your ideas actually develop in the real world.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You like being in complete control of your life and the director of your destiny, but there are people who may hold some of the keys to your success. The Leo New Moon points to your 8th House of Shared Resources, indicating that you’re better off working with someone else now. What makes the current situation tricky is that others might needlessly flaunt their power. Don’t waste any energy fighting a display of insecurity. Instead, spend your time negotiating solid agreements to ensure success down the road.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Leo New Moon in your 7th House of Companions suggests you might be feeling pressure to perform in a certain way today. A lover, spouse or partner is acting exceptionally nice, but you are certain that there is more going on than meets your eye. However, it’s unlikely that anyone is scheming against you. It’s just that you may be afraid to fully trust the good feelings that are floating around. There’s no rush; respond only when your heart is ready.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You could feel like you’re talking to the wall today when others don’t seem interested in what you are doing. However, the Leo New Moon occupies your 6th House of Details, making it difficult for you to see the whole picture. Unconsciously blasting ahead with your grandiose plans can raise the ire of your coworkers. Taking smaller steps now allows you to make steady progress out of the spotlight. Ultimately, narrowing your vision and concentrating on one thing at a time is the simplest strategy to reach your goals.
