Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, August 11th
Aries

You are seeking out new experiences and can feel a little restless if you are stuck doing ordinary things today, dear Aries. With Chiron opposing Jupiter this week, some insecurities or inconsistencies can have you second-guessing your work or health projects, however. You may be thinking of past mistakes or missed opportunities, but try not to dwell. Recognize areas that may be weak or not working well so that you can go forward with better plans. Attach yourself to dreams that are realizable, and you’re in the right place. If you have taken on too much, then you are at the risk of poor productivity due to a feeling of being overwhelmed. Simplify for best results now, rather than falling for the idea that doing more will make you happier. Today, consider ways to vary your routine. You’ll want to do something pioneering and original.
Taurus

The Moon aligns with Mars in your intimacy sector today, dear Cancer, and you’re in the mood to make some changes, mainly related to your lifestyle. It might also be a time of increased intimacy and heightened relationship activity. However, Chiron’s opposition to Jupiter can serve to pull up some doubts along social, romantic, and/or creative lines. This influence first occurred in November and was exact again in February. This is the last of the series, and you may very well come to a resolution. If things are moving too fast or if you’ve neglected to take care of special friendships, you are inclined to worry about it now. Second-guessing yourself may happen. If you’re uncertain of where you’re heading, it’s important to avoid allowing someone else make important decisions for you. Today, look for satisfying ways to connect with others and focus on improving your relationships.
Gemini

The Moon aligns with Mars in your partnership zone today, dear Gemini. There can be a need to be active with someone or else excess energy can devolve into bickering. Healthy competition is the better side to this influence. However, as Jupiter moves towards its final opposition to Chiron, insecurities about where you’re heading in your career or the long view can interfere with comfort levels. Aim to learn your real wishes and needs before making the bigger decisions, and avoid going along with plans that others make for you if you’re not totally on board with them. Find ways to fill your need for comfort without guilt. This might be achieved more easily by filling some duties or paying due attention to the outside world before settling in. You may want to focus on getting things done with a partner.
Cancer

The Moon aligns with Mars in your work and health sector today, dear Cancer, and you feel the need to take action on problem areas in your life. However, with Jupiter approaching its opposition to Chiron, there can be some second-guessing your current ideas or projects as you become aware of a different perspective, inconsistency, or setback. It’s better not to put too much stock into news you hear or what others are saying now unless you use it to jumpstart your thinking. It would be best to wait for clarity rather than handing over decision-making to someone else. Today, finding something to channel excess energy into, such as a special project, can be helpful and rewarding. Try not to spend too much time getting something “just right” if it ceases to be motivating and only serves to frustrate.
Leo

The Moon aligns with Mars in your creative and romantic sector, dear Leo, and you’re ready to take action on your feelings. You may wish to follow your heart and pursue your desires directly now. However, Jupiter moves towards its final opposition to Chiron, and there may be some confusion involving matters of finances and ownership. This long-term influence first appeared in November and then peaked again in February. You may have been counting on support, and now you could be questioning whether it’s as strong as you anticipated, as an example. Insecurities about support may be an emerging issue for some, but avoid making big decisions based on worries of the present. Be a little more vigilant with money matters and contracts now, and avoid putting all of your eggs in one basket, or too much faith in an iffy proposition. Share your feelings with others or pour excess energy into a creative project today for best results.
Virgo

The Moon aligns with Mars today in your home and family sector, dear Virgo, and you may be especially busy on the home front. For some, your personal life is particularly animated today. It can be a great time to work in or on the home now. If you don’t channel excess energy into something productive, there could be some bickering or tension over who takes the lead. Jupiter moves towards its final opposition to Chiron (the first in the series occurred in November), and insecurities can emerge through a relationship or another person’s perspective. If you feel misunderstood, drained, or demotivated, know that it’s temporary and try to pull into yourself a little. Allowing yourself to be ruled by others’ emotions and opinions is a draining experience, and you owe it to yourself to look for happiness within. It’s also important to avoid giving up decision-making to someone else if you’re not totally on board with others’ plans for you.
Libra

The Moon aligns with Mars in your communications sector today, dear Libra, making it a good time to pour extra energy into learning, connecting, and communicating. Tensions or restlessness can arise if you are left to idle – watch for impatience today! Insecurities about your current work projects or performance may be stimulated today and tomorrow, however, with Jupiter and Chiron coming to their final opposition in a set that began in November. You may not know what is expected of you, or could have incomplete information to work with now. Try not to go overboard with people-pleasing, as you may end up feeling unappreciated or even taken advantage of. Your own expectations of others may need some adjustments. Tackle areas of guilt that may be preventing you from getting the break you need and deserve.
Scorpio

The Moon aligns with Mars in your solar second house today, dear Scorpio, increasing your ambitions and stimulating activity with money or business. This could also be a time when you feel the need or desire to defend yourself or your values. If you have been feeling unappreciated or taken advantage of, this can become intolerable now. Jupiter is moving towards an opposition to Chiron – the final one in a set that first occurred in November. Insecurities about your relationships or creative talents can emerge today, and a balancing act may be in order, but also emotionally draining. Your ability to support people emotionally is a strength, particularly with lovers, friends, and children. However, if you’re not feeling up to par, you should also tend to your own needs. Don’t allow insecurities or guilt influence significant decision-making today. Think of ways you might boost your confidence or sense of worthiness with regards to expressing your creative side or as you relate to friends and lovers.
Sagittarius

The Moon is in your sign from early afternoon forward, dear Sagittarius, and aligns with Mars, stimulating a need for activity. You naturally assume the role of a leader now, and an independent streak emerges. You certainly don’t appreciate anyone else calling the shots or telling you what to do right now! You are projecting vitality, and you’re more likely to take action if you want something or if there’s a problem. Jupiter forms its final opposition to Chiron now (the first was in November), however, which can leave you second-guessing some of your broader goals or plans. While you’ve been feeling rather confident about your work and performance or general life direction, today you could be entertaining some insecurities or dealing with some lack of support for your goals. You may find ways to resolve this problem once and for all this week. Don’t let anyone take the wind from your sails and don’t give up decision-making to someone else unless you are confident they have your best interests at heart.
Capricorn

The Moon meets with Mars in your privacy sector today, dear Capricorn, and your private world is animated, whether this means a lot is going on behind the scenes, or you’re enjoying an active world of fantasy now. Unresolved issues from the past can emerge for handling today. This can pull up all sorts of resentment, so it would be wise to take active steps to put something to rest and behind you. Even so, some plans might hit a snag today, and the obstacles may very well be psychological ones. Once identified and addressed, insecurities can be overcome with some work. These are likely to revolve around intelligence or ability to concentrate and pay attention to details, as you can be very distracted these days. While you should consider others’ input or deal with any inconsistencies that might become apparent today, this is not the time to throw out a plan or give up on a project. Take a break or a step back, and then return to it in a stronger frame of mind.
Aquarius

The Moon meets with Mars in your friendship sector today, dear Aquarius, pulling up strong feelings about friends, goals, hopes, and dreams. You may be filled with a desire to take action on a project or you may wish to be active with a friend now. You may wish to take the lead, although you may be meeting with strong egos today! You may need to address any insecurities you may have been feeling when it comes to income or self-worth before enjoying yourself fully, however, as you deserve to do. Jupiter opposes Chiron today for the final time in a set that first began in November 2015. This is a time for final handling of problems raised over money, ownership, and value. This is a time for getting in touch with what may be holding you back from enjoying the gifts of Jupiter’s transit of your solar eighth house, which include increased support from others and an improved intimate life, and that will end on September 9th. Be a little more vigilant than usual with your money and energy until you have a better grip on who and what you can trust. Aim to strengthen trust with others rather than avoiding the situation, and consider ways to improve your own feelings of worthiness.
Pisces

The Moon aligns with Mars at the top of your solar chart today, dear Pisces, stimulating your ambitions and drive to move towards your goals. You’re unlikely to feel content simply thinking or dreaming of far-off goals – you want to get involved. If you don’t honor this need, you may end up fretting and restless today. A Jupiter-Chiron opposition today can certainly stimulate the latter. It’s the last of a set that began in November, and it’s an influence that pulls up insecurities about a partner, belief, or plan. You may not see eye to eye on an important matter, and this can leave you second-guessing things that you were previously counting on. There could also be a question raised about commitment or involvement. Insecurities about your ability to be independent can emerge, but don’t allow them to drive decision making. Look for ways to more fully enjoy your connections with others.
