Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, August 3rd

 

Aries

The first half of the day inclines towards pie in the sky thinking, dear Aries, and while musing definitely has its place and even its merits, avoid too-high expectations now. If you are expecting something to materialize and it doesn’t, you’ll end up wrestling with disappointment. There may be some doubts that need clearing up, but it won’t be long before you’re feeling more positive and confident. Be sure that you really own what you’re doing instead of taking shortcuts. Authenticity is always important to you in the long run. Love may not be faring very well today, as you could be doubting someone or keeping a distance. Try to tame a desire to control things, as it can get you into hot water!

Taurus

New ideas and promises today may not have much permanency, dear Taurus, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun dreaming things up. Your focus can be diffused, making it a less than ideal time to make serious decisions or to do important fact-based work. You might have a hard time doing what you want because people who need help or support are taking priority. Be patient with others and avoid resorting to roundabout ways to get your way. Alternatively, you may be frustrated with people doing the same thing to you. Later today, while jealousies or resentments can be operating close to the surface, you can choose whether to accept and understand them or to let them control you.

Gemini

The first half of the day requires some detachment, dear Gemini, as plans are unlikely to run smoothly. You can feel up and down – sometimes confident, other times unsure. Slow your approach just enough to see where you might be making errors or overlooking important needs. Listen carefully to what your intuition is saying to you, but wait for clarity. Your defenses may not be up to par, leaving you somewhat vulnerable to others’ judgments or comments. Be gentle with yourself and avoid setting too high expectations. As the day advances, your conviction increases, perhaps to the point that you become completely absorbed in your personal interests or even a relationship.

Cancer

If you find that you’re more sensitive than usual to slights or criticisms today, dear Cancer, consider that you’re in need of some rest or special attention to overlooked needs. This is not the best day for feeling reinforced and appreciated. You might even see problems where they don’t exist if you’re not feeling self-confident. If emotions and reactions seem to be over the top and thus inappropriate for the situation, it’s time to look within. Someone is hitting a nerve, and you’ll do well for yourself if you take a deeper look at trigger areas. Try not to let sentiments and whims blur your judgment today. It can be difficult to state your needs directly, and you might resort to passive ways of asserting yourself, but that won’t leave you feeling better or satisfied. Do what you can to get extra time for yourself.

Leo

You’re in a good position with personal plans these days, dear Leo. However, you will need to get over a few hurdles and make some refinements before moving forward. You could be feeling a little vulnerable or low and temporarily demotivated in the first half of the day. Tomorrow’s energies are more stabilizing, but for now, consider those things you’ve overlooked. While today can bring you forward in some ways, you may be second-guessing something. If you are feeling off or confused, look for objective feedback. Build up your health and resistance with rest, then move forward. Later today, watch for latching onto an idea and pushing it without budging. It may temporarily feel that you’re protecting or gaining something as you do so, but you’ll be in a better position if you aim to grow through your conversations.

Virgo

The Moon is in your privacy sector again today, dear Virgo, and it’s an important time to catch your breath. There can be some minor confusion or doubt hanging in the air early today. You are more impressionable, vulnerable, sensitive, and inclined to daydream. You may give in to others or withdraw and escape something you’d rather not do simply because you don’t have the energy. Watch for confusion or vagueness in close relationships. Put aside matters that require factual thinking for a clearer day. Focus instead on big ideas and fill in the details when you are in a better frame of mind to do so. There can be some tension later today revolving around memories or reminders of a frustrating past matter. Put resentment behind you – tomorrow you begin a new lunar cycle and start fresh.

Libra

You may not be feeling very directed in the morning, dear Libra. Try to go with the flow rather than insisting on a solid plan. You might not feel that you’re in step with those around you. However, if you just go with the flow instead of worrying too much about the details, you should be fine. Take a break from the routine, but consider that the temptation to get out of a responsibility may be too costly in the long run. Save critical decision making for later. If you do something to help someone out, do only what you believe to be fair instead of doing more and feeling resentful. Later today, there may be some tension or power plays in your interactions, but it’s a temporary disruption only. Look for ways to release tension through networking or pressure-free relationships.

Scorpio

The first half of the day requires patience and letting go of a need for a solid plan, dear Scorpio. It’s not the time to pin anyone down – few people around you truly know what they want at the moment. It’s not the time for definite answers, but rather for exchanging information and enjoying the flow rather than worrying about the actual outcome. Be extra vigilant in communications, as misunderstandings are likely. Because you are more idealistic and inclined to wishful thinking right now, it’s a little easier for you to be deceived – by others, and by yourself! Strive for objectivity, even if you need to find it through someone else, before making any substantial commitments. As the day advances, you can fill with conviction, but you should still be more mindful of how you’re communicating.

Sagittarius

You may start the day feeling that you can do pretty much anything, dear Sagittarius, but plans may not come together just yet. Slow down until your heart and mind are in agreement. Dreams and ideas today may not take on real substance down the road, but you might enjoy a fantasy or two anyhow. If you feel tired or unable to get going today, you may very well need a bit of a break from routine or some rest. Attempting to push to find a resolution to a problem is unlikely to work out, but pulling back from it might. There’s sure to be a bit of a gap between your wishes and ideals and reality, but don’t waste time on discouragement – just give yourself a time out.

Capricorn

You can benefit from looking back at old relationship matters and emotional issues these days, dear Capricorn, particularly regarding how they may be affecting you in the present. However, it can be tricky to broach taboo or complicated topics honestly today without ending up feeling awkward or out of the loop. If you don’t feel especially motivated right now, energy levels can drop. Be selective with where you direct your energies this morning. Consider waiting until you are totally onboard before going forward. As the day advances, watch for some insecurity in your self-expression. If others seem to want you to prove yourself, you may get better results if you quietly refuse to stoop to that level. Try to let go of a desire to control the smallest details.

Aquarius

You can have plenty of ideas today, dear Aquarius, but may lack the energy to get anywhere with them early today. This may be a sign that you need a break or time-out. Many ideas, commitments, promises, and plans emerging today can go by the wayside. Consider whether the easy road is the best choice right now, but if you’re not totally onboard about something, it’s important to put things on hold until you figure them out before committing. Tensions with a partner can surface over unresolved matters from the past, although these may be hard to quantify today. Remind yourself of your needs for compassion, sensitivity, romance, spirituality, and magic now. With all that’s going on in your life, you may be overlooking these things. As the day advances, your creativity increases.

Pisces

There can be a real desire to accomplish things these days, dear Pisces, and you have a lot more energy to take better care of your daily life. However, in the first half of today, you may not know where to begin. You could be feeling a little out of sync with people around you. You may need to make adjustments for others now, as stepping to the side could be the better choice than to confront or challenge. You might also feel unnoticed or less than appreciated. Be content to be out of step or anonymous, just for now, as this can help you in the long run – it gives you the opportunity to observe and redirect plans. As the day advances, you may be less concerned about others’ expectations and more focused on what needs doing.
