Get a Jump on Tomorrow…
Your Horoscopes for Saturday, August 22nd
Aries

With Mars, your ruler, in awkward aspect to the planet of communication and the planet of dreams today, you could be both edgy and uncertain, dear Aries. Be careful not to criticize someone, particularly a lover or child, in the process of trying to sort things out. As well, you could be on the fence about a matter, possibly a romance or creative pursuit, as you could question whether it’s truly in line with your ideals or dreams. This is likely very temporary, but the need to adjust either your expectations or your plans can arise now. This afternoon, the Moon’s move into fellow Fire sign Sagittarius can improve your mood considerably.
Taurus

This morning, you could be on the fence about a matter, dear Taurus, and you may feel out of sync with others, possibly because you’re not entirely sure what you want. There can be a lot to think about later today, to the point that you may have a hard time turning your thoughts off long enough to relax. Impatience can lead to disagreements or irritability. There can be a combative energy that is better applied to work than it is to relationships. The Moon’s movement into your solar eighth house this afternoon brings a stronger need for strategy in your life. It’s time for making longer-term plans, but avoid rushing things.
Gemini

It can be a good time to satisfy your needs for conversation, learning experiences, and personal contact, but you may want to keep things informal, as some facts can be missing or difficult to see, dear Gemini. Pressure builds as the day progresses, but clarity increases. Watch your temper and avoid pushing something that you can’t change, allowing for unexpected changes that are out of your control. This afternoon the quick-moving Moon enters your partnership sector and your powers of negotiation rise, as long as you don’t jump too quickly to express yourself.
Cancer

The day should begin with few pressures, dear Cancer, and some time alone may be in order if it can be managed. The desire to fill your needs for comfort can be strong, but watch for excesses. It can be difficult to feel directed and motivated now. Tensions can rise as the day advances, particularly if you are relying on schedules to go as planned or if you are rushing things. It’s a good time to tackle a project or problem, but it can be difficult to stop thinking once you get going, even if you need to relax.
Leo

Complicated feelings can easily bubble up to the surface today, seemingly out of nowhere, dear Leo. Anger or resentment that you have buried or brushed to the side can emerge now in unexpected ways, and while the feelings can be confusing at first and you should absolutely deal with them, do not let them control you either. Avoid rushing things, particularly business and finance related endeavors. The Moon enters fellow Fire sign, Sagittarius, and your pleasure sector this afternoon, and you tend to seek out creative ways to express yourself.
Virgo

The tendency for something to burn out nearly as quickly as it’s started today runs very high, dear Virgo. Both physically and mentally, avoid over-exerting yourself. An example would be beginning a new exercise program with high expectations, but instead of easing into it, you push too hard to the point of mild injury. Overdoing something now can actually prevent you from continuing it tomorrow, so take it easy. As well, be careful that you don’t attempt to force an issue or talk ahead of yourself – both strong possibilities with Mercury in your sign and Mars in the sign behind yours, forming a difficult aspect with one another. Speaking prematurely about your plans may not be wise right now.
Libra

Friends can be a tad unreliable today, dear Libra, and there may be problems with distractions getting in the way of work or business. The trick is to think outside of the box now, as anything too ordinary or mundane will only serve to frustrate now. If someone seems to be trying to make you feel guilty, don’t fall game. Choose entertaining, imaginative activities today if it’s possible. There can be some vacillation or ambivalence this morning, but pressure increases as the day goes forward. Extra energy seems available on a mental level, which is best applied to work or hobbies. Otherwise, there could be tense interactions or an overactive mind that never seems to let you rest.
Scorpio

Avoid letting your mind wander into darker territory today, dear Scorpio, as your imagination is strong and a little skewed to the negative. Filling in the blanks could be a time and energy waster. There can be vacillation this morning, but as the day advances, more clarity. While impatience or brusqueness is a possibly byproduct of a Mercury-Mars aspect in effect later today, if you channel the extra mental energy well, you can make nice progress on a project. The Moon in your sign until afternoon makes you quite visible and connects you strongly to the world around you, after which you’re more interested in manifesting and practical applications than you are making emotional connections.
Sagittarius

Desires can come on suddenly today but may not last, dear Sagittarius, so keep that in mind if something takes hold of you and you want immediate results. It’s a strong time for incubating ideas, but not the best time to launch them. Some uncertainty or unpredictability in others is likely to be experienced now, but don’t let others’ behavior faze you or prevent you from having a good day. The Moon entering your sign this afternoon can bring your emotions bubbling up to the surface, and it can also stimulate a stronger need to feel emotionally connected and alive through your experiences.
Capricorn

It can be difficult to get what you want today, especially if you are not entirely sure you want it – or if a part of you doesn’t think you deserve it! Clarity comes as the day advances, but impatience may be a problem. Early today, things may be moving too slowly for your liking. The pace of the day can be a little chaotic later on, however, especially if you are trying to push something forward that needs more time to develop naturally. The Moon moves into your privacy sector late afternoon, and you might feel the need to take a break. A personal time-out can do a world of good now.
Aquarius

Others, especially a partner or close friend, can be hard to pin down today, but try not to let their unreliability or irritability faze you, dear Aquarius. It’s temporary and it’s also likely they’re simply wrapped up in their own “issues” right now. As much as you might want to bring up a certain topic, it may be premature to do so. As the day progresses, you might seek comfort from peers or people who don’t have expectations. Mental activity is strong, making it easy to get into arguments, however, but it can also be a good time for tackling a complicated problem or for avidly pursuing a mental interest.
Pisces

Misunderstandings are possible today, dear Pisces. You might rub someone the wrong way with the appearance that you know better, even if you don’t intend it (and even if you do know better right now!). Your ideas may be a little too ahead of your time to be totally understood. Later today, you might be feeling as if others are too pushy or aggressive with you. You may be on the fence about an issue, but it’s probably better that you stay that way just for now, as it’s difficult to discern between whim and true desire today. However, this can be a strong time for mental energy.
