Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, August 4th
by Rick Levine
General Horoscope
Complicated emotional dynamics set the stage for interpersonal drama today. We may find ourselves engaged in a power struggle as warrior Mars is dragged into the shadows by dark Pluto. Trust, or the lack of it, fuels our fears as we attempt to control irrational feelings. Meanwhile, the Moon shifts into analytical Virgo, urging us to favor logic over intuition. Nevertheless, we need to find comfort no matter where the current circumstances lead.
Aries Horoscope MAR 21 – APR 19
You could feel resentful if someone railroads you into doing something against your will. Nevertheless, you’re ready to fight for what feels like your survival. In fact, it’s hard to bury your anger any longer while combative Mars packs a punch today. But be careful not to overreact; the stakes are considerable and you will likely emerge the winner as long as you take the high road. Acting for the good of all is more soul-satisfying than selfishly attempting to garner more power or wealth for yourself.
Taurus Horoscope APR 20 – MAY 20
You may be a bit thin-skinned today, even if everyone else seem tough as nails. Aggressive Mars creates a contentious connection with uncompromising Pluto that can turn a small disagreement into a serious quarrel. Nevertheless, your key planet Venus aligns with wounded Chiron, sensitizing you to the emotional vulnerability of others. Ideally, your delicate feelings give you the finesse to frame conflict in a loving light by establishing common ground as the basis of cooperation.
Gemini Horoscope MAY 21 – JUN 20
You can see that something’s wrong with a relationship today and are ready to jump in and fix it. Although action-hero Mars is teaming up with penetrating Pluto, they have vastly different approaches to problem-solving. On one hand, you want to go for the quick solution. On the other hand, you’re driven to get to the underlying source of the conflict and handle it once and for all. Whichever route you choose, be cautious since you could stir up resistance from others. As with all Pluto aspects, acting for the common good brings more emotional satisfaction than just striving for personal success.
Cancer Horoscope JUN 21 – JUL 22
A simple difference of opinion at work could grow into a major conflict today as militant Mars crosses swords with ruthless Pluto. Although you might think someone is bullying you, you could simply be caught in the crossfire between coworkers. If it’s not your personal battle, establish clear boundaries and get out of the way. Even with good intentions, your high ideals may not be appreciated when belief systems collide. Every time you subtract negative from your life you make room for more positive.
Leo Horoscope JUL 23 – AUG 22
You’re the recipient of an extra boost of energy as boisterous Mars drives you to accomplish more at work today. Thankfully, a stressful situation can remind you to handle a delicate issue that you previously dodged. But expecting too much change all at once may be unrealistic, so look at making minor adjustments that have lasting impact. As Confucius said, “The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.”
Virgo Horoscope AUG 23 – SEP 22
Maintaining a cool and calm approach helps you to manage an emotionally volatile situation today. Although you might not want to make compromises while being pressured by others, being rational is key to avoiding conflict. Practicing self-discipline and adopting a clear set of priorities empower you to promote your interests rather than getting sidetracked by someone else’s agenda. Thinking about your actions in advance helps you decide where to hang on and where to let go.
Libra Horoscope SEP 23 – OCT 22
You are a pro at finding your way back to center when the storms of change are swirling around you. Nevertheless, it’s challenging to stand back from the intensity as different points of view clash around you now. An anxious aspect between aggressive Mars and relentless Pluto can tempt you to engage in an unnecessary power struggle before reaching your goal. Paying close attention to the interpersonal dynamics and your own emotional well-being enables you to moderate your energy so you don’t exhaust yourself in the process.
Scorpio Horoscope OCT 23 – NOV 21
Rather than getting caught up in an unwinnable struggle, focus on what you can do to positively influence long-term events. An internal conflict between your need for cash and your core values is unlikely to be resolved right away, yet your options should become clearer over time. Your key planets, warrior Mars and unyielding Pluto, are duking it out as opinions boil over with extreme points of view and little tolerance for dissent. Remember, managing your emotions is not about denial; it’s about being honest in the way you express them.
Sagittarius Horoscope NOV 22 – DEC 21
You are riding a growing wave of enthusiasm now that fiery Mars is heating up your sign. His alignment with potent Pluto today dramatizes your desire to make measurable progress toward your goals. However, your sense of urgency can also destabilize interpersonal dynamics. Be careful about riding roughshod over someone else’s wishes or you might accomplish your mission, only to find that you disenfranchised your best supporters along the way. You will be alright if you remember that compassion is passion with heart.
Capricorn Horoscope DEC 22 – JAN 19
Sharing power can be tricky for you calculating Mountain goats, especially when a trusted ally seems to be harboring secrets. Tough-guy Mars is pushing against non-negotiable Pluto in your sign, triggering extreme reactions that make compromise a real challenge. Neutrality is elusive if unexpressed desires and hidden agendas are at work. Whatever happens, don’t waste the potency of this cosmic force on trivial matters; instead, be a fierce warrior for a worthy cause that’s close to your heart.
Aquarius Horoscope JAN 20 – FEB 18
You’re all set to challenge someone who uses self-righteousness as a justification to hold their beliefs over yours. In fact, the strength of your convictions can be inspirational if you don’t promise too much or not enough. Unfortunately, the Goldilocks syndrome makes it difficult to get it just right. You may be motivated by irrational fears of failure today, so try not to overcompensate for your insecurities. Rather than getting lost in philosophical justifications for your actions, approach each situation in a practical manner. But most importantly, only make commitments you intend to keep.
Pisces Horoscope FEB 19 – MAR 20
Your career trajectory is blazing a direct path into your future now that superhero Mars is traveling through your 10th House of Status. However, the heavy hand of relentless Pluto can motivate you to take risks that may not ultimately work out in your favor. You must take stock of your resources, including your time and energy, and maintain control of your emotions if your current actions are to succeed. Don’t get distracted by disagreements over principles or politics; instead, focus on the forces that are within your control to fuel your ambition.
