Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, August 24th
by Rick Levine
General Horoscope
It’s been a long time coming but impetuous Mars finally overtakes authoritative Saturn today, freeing us from the restraints of responsibility. Although obligations must still be fulfilled, they don’t weigh as heavily on us now. Additionally, the Moon’s shift from grounded Taurus into whimsical Gemini at 7:39 pm EDT reaffirms our optimism. However, we must rely on the most useful information, even if we believe that more data leads to more options.
Aries Horoscope Mar 21 – Apr 19
It might seem as if you’re fighting an uphill battle when it comes to making plans for the future. Every time you decide on a course of action, circumstances throw you another curve ball. Thankfully, your luck is about to change in a significant manner as your key planet Mars pushes past constrictive Saturn. Reconsider your priorities one more time since your current trajectory will determine your progress in the weeks ahead. As Professor Irwin Corey said, “If we don’t change direction soon, we’ll end up where we’re going.”
Taurus Horoscope Apr 20 – May 20
Salmon fight against the river’s currents and demonstrate great intention by swimming upstream to spawn. Your unflappable determination has brought you this far on your quest to deepen a relationship, even if the waters seem too shallow for passage. But the tide is shifting now and it will soon be obvious that you are not at the end of the journey. Continue to work for whatever is most important to you without taking the easy way out. Napoleon Hill wrote, “Effort will release its reward only after you refuse to quit.”
Gemini Horoscope May 21 – Jun 20
Someone close to you may still be sending mixed messages by flashing a red light and green light at the same time. Unfortunately, you don’t know whether to speed up or slow down; whatever strategy you try, the opposite seems to be a wiser approach. It’s nearly impossible to blast ahead and screech to a halt all at once, but that’s exactly what you must do. This cosmic dilemma requires you to hold two different positions simultaneously. Although it might sound corny, it’s just another chance for your brilliant thinking to work its magic.
Cancer Horoscope Jun 21 – Jul 22
You wish you could deviate from your predetermined action plan today. Thankfully, you are given a chance to shed heavy-handed Saturn’s weight and head out on a course of your own choosing. But don’t wait until it’s too late. Take small steps at first until you establish a steady pace. Once you start moving, it really doesn’t matter that you’re still figuring out your final destination. Nevertheless, changing dynamics require you to modify your game. You might not be able to control your reactions, but you can control your response.
Leo Horoscope Jul 23 – Aug 22
Spontaneously connecting with your inner child invites your mini-me to come out to create mischief. But something still continues to hold you back from freely expressing the innocence of your heartfelt desires. Sadly, you can grow up too quickly by accepting a more mature set of duties and responsibilities. Or, you could respond to the situation by revisiting your childhood. George Bernard Shaw wrote, “We do not stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”
Virgo Horoscope Aug 23 – Sep 22
There is so much happening in your life now that you’re uncertain about how to dig your way out of the overloaded present moment. However, everything is about to change and you will be surprised by how much time you have on your hands. Nevertheless, waiting to make your move is a mistake, since the sooner you start on your new path, the better. Nobody is ever too busy; it’s just a matter of reshuffling your priorities and improving your attitude.
Libra Horoscope Sep 23 – Oct 22
It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been trying to bring up a sticky subject at work without any success. The very same topic is somehow approachable now, and the resistance seems to have vanished into thin air. Nevertheless, your discussions may not fulfill your expectations because of their lack of intensity. But don’t make lasting judgments based upon an arbitrary classification. Friendships and work relationships elude categorization. Embrace each person according to his or her characteristics, not position or title. Everyone you encounter is your teacher.
Scorpio Horoscope Oct 23 – Nov 21
Although you appreciate certain aspects of your personality more than others, it’s discouraging when people criticize you for those very same traits. You may be clear about your long-term goals, but can still be reticent when it comes to standing up for your rights. You are a child of the universe and have as much right to be your authentic self as anyone else does. Remember, you were born to be real, not perfect. An original is worth more than a copy.
Sagittarius Horoscope Nov 22 – Dec 21
One minute you’re waxing eloquently about the need to strike when the iron is hot; the next minute, you may be lost in a cloud of self-doubt. However, you are at a tipping point and are ready to leave uncertainty behind as a new wave of confidence ripples through your life. Don’t spend a lot of time today trying to figure out what has changed. Just set your sites on your next goal and do whatever is necessary to reach your desired destination. Winners are not people who never fail, but people who never quit.
Capricorn Horoscope Dec 22 – Jan 19
You excel at mapping out your plan and then executing it step by step. Although this methodical approach is likely behind your current achievements, it won’t carry you to your next milestone. Oddly enough, your own ideas can be your greatest limitations now. In fact, you might need to throw away your previous blueprint for success and just make it up as you go. The exhilaration you feel from playing without a game plan can fuel your efforts for a long-term conquest. Taoist philosopher Wei Wu Wei wrote, “Spontaneity is being present in the present.”
Aquarius Horoscope Jan 20 – Feb 18
Acknowledging your need for structure is imperative today, especially as you look forward to the future. You’re eager to move your life in a more meaningful direction, but you might temporarily be wary of the unknown. Thankfully, you can have it both ways now if you are sufficiently ready for this major undertaking. Prepare by going over your plan one last time. However, keep in mind that you can’t navigate into the future by replaying history. There’s no time to gaze back in the rearview mirror when you must keep your eyes peeled on the road ahead.
Pisces Horoscope Feb 19 – Mar 20
Everyone seems to have their own idea about what you should be doing to make the most of your natural talents. But you might balk at listening to any advice now because it all sounds so critical to your ears. Remember that others judge you based upon their limited perceptions of your capabilities. Nevertheless, you possess a rare opportunity to set a career goal and then work toward making it real. No matter who gives up on you, don’t ever give up on yourself.
