Get A Jump on Tomorrow….
Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, August 21st
by Rick Levine
General Horoscope
We are fired up with sensible ideas today, eager to apply our individual skills to current problems and get things done. The enthusiastic Aries Moon gains early morning support from assertive Mars and taskmaster Saturn, enabling us to organize our thoughts and manage the separate parts of a complex project. However, we may experience an undercurrent of resistance that impedes our progress when Luna forms a stressful square with suspicious Pluto.
Aries Horoscope MAR 21 – APR 19
Your plans begin to take shape as your impulsive reactions gain momentum throughout the day. Stabilizing Saturn enters the picture today, enabling you to construct a solid foundation on which to build your future. Although you are feeling your oats now that the Moon has returned to your incorrigible sign, her meeting with shadowy Pluto can hijack your efforts and significantly alter your priorities. Continue to keep your eyes on the final destination. Eliminating distractions as they arise improves your chances for success.
Taurus Horoscope APR 20 – MAY 20
You don’t like to be pushed into anything against your will, even if it’s for your own good. Although you possess the good sense not to resist earlier in the day, you might grow resentful later when you wish you were doing anything else. But rather than obsessing about your current uncertainty, shift your attention to someone or something you can count on. There’s no need to create a drama where there isn’t one.
Gemini Horoscope MAY 21 – JUN 20
You’re excited about the prospects of doing something special with a close friend or relative today. However, there’s no need to use your current plans to escape from previous promises. In fact, fulfilling your obligations early in the day frees you up to travel the outer edges of your mental explorations later on. But don’t try to convince anyone that your philosophy is the only one that matters. Although you might not see how all the separate pieces of your life are interrelated in this moment, you will understand soon enough. Patience is the companion of wisdom.
Cancer Horoscope JUN 21 – JUL 22
You’re ready to spread your wings and fly today, yet run into complex dynamics that force you to change your plans. You could encounter delays that turn out to be the result of someone covertly working against your efforts. However, you can’t face an unseen enemy; it’s like shadow boxing with an invisible opponent. Instead of looking outside yourself for answers, explore your own resistance to success. When you understand your fears, the external obstacles will likely fade away. As Carl Jung wrote, “We always see our own unavowed mistakes in our opponent.”
Leo Horoscope JUL 23 – AUG 22
You’re eager to go the extra mile today because you see the potential for beauty everywhere you look. Fortunately, you can rely on your solid thinking as long as you don’t let the current spontaneity of the Aries Moon run off with your day. But Luna harmonizes with feisty Mars and authoritarian Saturn in your 5th House of Self-Expression, urging you to bust out of your self-imposed restraints. It’s challenging to find the Goldilocks point where everything is exactly just right. Perfection is in the eyes of the beholder.
Virgo Horoscope AUG 23 – SEP 22
You’re in an odd state of mind now because you want to mingle with interesting people yet have no patience for any opinions that conflict with your own. You could end up planning to attend a social event, only to back out at the last moment when you realize the same old people will be in attendance. You currently crave the excitement that goes along with rubbing elbows with new and different people, and you won’t even have a chance to do so if you’re at home sitting on the sofa. Forget about all the logical reasons to turn down an invitation today; just smile and say yes.
Libra Horoscope SEP 23 – OCT 22
You don’t usually mind redirecting love and admiration away from yourself and onto your friend or partner. However, you grow annoyed now when someone else consistently tries to commandeer the center of attention. The spontaneous Aries Moon shines in your 7th House of Others, drawing the crowd’s attention elsewhere and you don’t like feeling as if you’re invisible. There’s no need to fight against the natural flow of energy since you will attract your fair share of recognition soon enough. A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.
Scorpio Horoscope OCT 23 – NOV 21
Your mental bandwidth is narrowly focused on all the things you must finish today. Separately, each item sounds manageable, but all together they seem so daunting that you might not know where to begin. A little forethought is a good idea, but too much thinking now sets major delays into motion and places you even further behind the eight ball. Don’t worry about the problems you encounter; you can successfully handle them one at a time. Author Saul Bellow wrote, “Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take small steps.”
Sagittarius Horoscope NOV 22 – DEC 21
You’re flying off into the wild blue yonder today, but you only have a small amount of gas in your tank. The planetary emphasis on Fire signs ensures you won’t be lacking for wonderful activities to capture your imagination. However, building pressure from the mid-week Mars-Saturn conjunction is already slowing your progress and forcing you to be hyperaware of every move you make. Easy does it for the next couple of days if you want the magic to last.
Capricorn Horoscope DEC 22 – JAN 19
Ingenious ideas are buzzing around inside your head now, but you may be insecure about sharing them with anyone else. The pioneering Aries Moon is traveling through your 4th House of Foundations, empowering you to explore creative options at home. Although this might sound contradictory, there is so much you can do without venturing far into the world. Unfortunately, refusing is tricky if someone insists that you participate in his or her adventure. As Paulo Coelho writes, “When you say yes to others, make sure you are not saying no to yourself.”
Aquarius Horoscope JAN 20 – FEB 18
Everything seems to be fine today until you open your mouth. The bossy Aries Moon in your 3rd House of Communication squares unrelenting Pluto, bringing hidden issues out into the blinding light of day. You might be surprised when you run into negativity from someone you thought was a friend. Nevertheless, it’s impossible to overcome a problem unless you identify it. Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t.
Pisces Horoscope FEB 19 – MAR 20
You might try to power your way through a tricky situation today, but somehow keep stalling at the same point in your process. It doesn’t even seem to help when others cheer you on from the sidelines. In fact, the support you receive encourages you to keep pushing in the same ineffective manner, setting you up for a fall. Fortunately, there’s a lesser known way to reach your goals; working smarter, not harder all but guarantees your success.
