Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, August 13th

 

Aries

Creative urges are strong today, dear Aries, and you can do much with them if you can tame some self-doubt. Enjoyment of the day can at times be compromised by worry about things you’ve left undone. Tackle the doubting demons. While you should listen to your intuition, sometimes self-doubt can seem like a gut feeling, when in fact it’s a fear. If you can get past it, you can get a lot done and get into better touch with your feelings about someone at the same time. You may be the bringer of a surprise or change. With the Moon Balsamic, it’s best to work on things that are already in motion than to begin anew (a New Moon occurs tomorrow morning). Later today, a long-term aspect that came exact in November and June completes. This may have caused you some stress or tension surrounding difficult to make financial, business, or life-path decisions. Changes seem necessary, even if it’s difficult to break free from old patterns, habits, and structures. Look for a healthy balance between keeping the old and embracing the new.

Taurus

Something from the past might emerge today, dear Taurus, and while it might feel uncomfortable at first, there can be a feeling of an emotional breakthrough. You can have a strong sense of moving forward and putting the past behind you. Definitely resolve to turn over a new leaf, but honor those who have helped and supported you at the same time. This is a day for stepping outside of your comfort zone just a little, progressive thinking, and willingness to experiment. Later today, a longer-term aspect that perfected in November and June comes exact for the final time. This influence may have caused some tension in your life, particularly related to a partner or friendship, and that could have to do with differing approaches or belief systems. There can be a strong desire to stick with what you know and you may be resistant to let in new ideas or approaches. Even so, you might discover that you can hold on to some of your own traditions while also embracing some new ones without losing your sense of self.

Gemini

Communications with friends today can be enlightening, even if sometimes awkward or uncomfortable, dear Gemini. You could receive information or news that helps you feel that you’re truly moving forward, perhaps into unexplored territory. Opportunities can come through friends, groups, meetings, and communications. Don’t be afraid to show others your more unique qualities and to share your progressive ideas. Later today, a longer-term aspect that perfected in November and June comes exact again for the final time. This may have caused some tension or frustrations with work, routines, or yourself if you’ve felt that you couldn’t quite get over a bad habit or couldn’t seem to move past an old frustration. Change can be scary, but the alternative is stagnation, so you’re best off looking for small steps to take towards making changes that improve your life.

Cancer

You can come to a new understanding about career or financial matters today, dear Cancer, and you might feel that you are truly moving ahead as a result. New insights can be experienced now, and should not be ignored. A money-making idea may very well be golden. You may be thinking in terms of breaking free from a situation that restricts and limits you. You might also find a new way to become more efficient in your work. Tension may come if you feel a little too hemmed in. Later today, a longer-term influence that came exact in November and June occurs again for the last time in this set. This has to do with tensions in a relationship. Using familiar methods of dealing with problems simply may not be cutting it, as much as you’d like for them to, and you could be recognizing now that a more dramatic change is necessary. Today, think in terms of making room for more positive circumstances in your life by letting go of counterproductive attitudes and situations.

Leo

There can be a strong urge to do something new or different today, dear Leo, but you could be wrestling with minor health or motivation challenges. Allowing yourself to break the routine and to be a little adventurous can help you to overcome some of your fears or doubts. Others are likely to receive you quite well right now, even if you’re not quite satisfied with your performance. Later today, a Saturn-Pluto longer-term influence that perfected in November and June comes together for the final time. This could stimulate important signals for resolving an ongoing dilemma that may involve health, family, or work issues. This is a time for finding ways to satisfy your desire to improve and change your life for the better, and at the same time, soothe your fears of letting go of certain structures and traditions that will allow you to make these changes. With a New Moon occurring tomorrow in your sign, this is an important day for reflecting on attitudes and attachments that are no longer serving you well.

Virgo

Your intuition is working overtime today, dear Virgo, and it can serve you very well if you avoid letting doubt overcome you. Approaching a tricky matter with courage can bring something to light that allows you a sense of release and relief. Intimate matters are likely to be strong, but some discomfort may be involved in the process of moving forward. Later today, a longer-term aspect occurs that first perfected in November and then in June. This is its final pass, and it can bring some resolution to tension on romantic or creative levels revolving around difficult decisions about making big changes – whether to stick with what you know or to move on. There may have also been some difficulty breaking away from your many obligations in order to enjoy and pursue your creative aspirations, entertainment, and leisure activities. This is a time for seeing signals that push you to find a balance. With the Balsamic Moon today, it’s best to let go of excess baggage than to take on something new.

Libra

Doubts about whether you are performing at your best should not get in the way of good vibes between yourself and others today, dear Libra. You can make a new friend or break new ground with an existing one today. Share your personal philosophy with someone special, and don’t be afraid to approach certain topics, as long as you do it with grace and warmth, which comes naturally to you anyhow! Later today, the final exact aspect of Saturn semi-square Pluto occurs. This challenging, longer-term influence first perfected in November and then again in June. Difficulties at home or with finances can resurface for final handling. Increasing responsibilities make it difficult to handle current problems, and as a result, you can feel quite stunted in terms of growth and progress. However, fear of change can also be at play. This is an ideal time for letting go of unnecessary excess spiritual weight.

Scorpio

While your love life may be a concern for you today, dear Scorpio, don’t let doubts in that area of your life interfere with professional opportunities, which are very real for you today. New insights into your career path or simply a work project can emerge today that can truly help you out. However, with the Moon in its Balsamic phase, let them sit and marinate a little before going forward. Later today, a longer-term aspect that first perfected in November and then in June is exact for the final time. This influence may have left you feeling weighed down by responsibilities and restrictions. You may feel that there has been little in the way of freedom to pursue your more creative interests. Aim to cut out distractions as much as possible. There can be a simultaneous desire to make big changes and improvements and a desire to hold on to things the way they are, and this may have left you feeling stuck. Look for important signals today that will help guide you towards the right decision. Think in terms of letting go of the harmful, negative energies in your life in order to make room for more supportive influences.

Sagittarius

You can be feeling especially creative today, dear Sagittarius, and for some of you, doors may be opening for new experiences involving travel or romance, or artistic pursuits. Look for these and avoid giving in to feelings of doubt or sudden shyness. If you’re feeling a little bit of fear about expressing your creative side, push yourself just a little to get yourself going. Later today, a longer-term aspect is exact for the final time (it’s been with us since November). This could bring a resolution to a dilemma about whether to make big changes in order to grow, or to stick with what you already know, particularly related to financial or security matters. This is an especially important time for putting guilt behind you.

Capricorn

You might receive news that casts some doubt on a situation today, dear Capricorn, but don’t allow insecurities to rule your day. Instead, open up to the possibility that you can get closer to someone. Conversations about typically private matters or the past can be slightly uncomfortable, but can bring surprisingly positive results and feelings. A longer-term aspect involving your ruler, Saturn, that first was exact in November and June perfects again today for the final time in this series. This can stir up frustrations felt from a sense that changes are being forced upon you, and the desire to keep things as they are/were, particularly related to friendships. Try to avoid cycling, obsessive thinking about those things that you cannot control or change, and instead attempt to focus on possible solutions. Even with these, go gentle on yourself. Consider that ridding yourself of negative energy frees space for new and positive energy to enter your life.

Aquarius

Opportunities to enhance or attract a partnership are available to you today, dear Aquarius, and are proportional to your ability to approach matters with openness and honesty. Open the airways, communicate, and encourage others to do so as well. Later today, a long-term influence that has been with us since November comes exact for the final time, and there may be a reminder of an issue related to career, performance, and others’ expectations of you that has been causing you some tension. You are aware that you need to make changes, but you could be struggling with a desire to keep things as they are or were. It’s difficult to embrace change when there are unknowns or larger responsibilities involved, but the alternative is stagnation, which simply won’t do! Let go of the negative and make room for more positive to come into your life.

Pisces

This morning, there can be wonderful new ideas, particularly related to work, business, and money, dear Pisces, but you could also be dealing with some self-doubt and uncertainty. Aim to find ways to push past these fears so that you can embrace opportunities. There is a theme now of needing to make changes but simultaneous fear or dread. Recognizing that insecurities may be holding you back is important now so that you can take steps to face these fears in constructive ways. Later today, a Saturn-Pluto challenging influence that has been coming in and out of aspect since November now completes. This can point to a resolution of an ongoing dilemma involving friendships and possibly disagreements about beliefs and opinions. Part of you could be feeling worried that people in your life are changing, and you may be sentimental about keeping things as they were. You may have been learning to let change happen, even as it involves some unknowns. Today is strong for letting go of negative attitudes or fears that have been holding you back.
