General Horoscope

Unfulfilled longings surface today where they can increase stress in a relationship. Fortunately, we find the right words to make our points while clever Mercury cooperates with passionate Pluto. But no one seems willing to moderate their desires as sensual Venus squares Pluto. Thankfully, the Moon’s entry into emotionally detached Aquarius at 8:58 am EDT enables us to intelligently process our feelings without being overwhelmed by them.

Aries Horoscope Mar 21 – Apr 19

On the surface, everything appears to be copacetic, but there may be a tempest brewing out of sight. You can pretend to be innocent and focus only on what is pleasant today, but failing to acknowledge the tension won’t prevent it from making itself known. Luckily, you have the power to turn an uncomfortable feeling into a catalyst that deepens a relationship instead of destabilizing it. The key to transformation is communication. Mutual respect and trust means that nothing of potential significance is off limits for discussion. The more you talk, the less it hurts.

Taurus Horoscope Apr 20 – May 20

You might sense that something isn’t quite right in a relationship at work. Relying on the familiarity of routine is often enough to put your anxious thoughts to rest. Unfortunately, the status quo is not your friend today because it allows an untreated trivial wound to fester. Thankfully, addressing the problem when you first notice it — however minor it may seem — prevents it from becoming more serious. Ben Franklin wrote, “You may delay, but time will not.”

Gemini Horoscope May 21 – Jun 20

Your attempts to take a relationship to the next level may lead you through rough terrain today. Normally, you might turn back at the first signs of difficulty, but you’re empowered now by your unrelenting quest to be seen and acknowledged by someone you love. Since communication is a two-way street, a conversation that’s built upon honesty can clear a path directly to the heart. Newscaster Edward R. Murrow said, “To be persuasive we must be believable; to be believable we must be credible; to be credible we must be truthful.”

Leo Horoscope Jul 23 – Aug 22

You are hoping to avoid an intense exchange with someone who appears to be exercising too much control over your life. You wish you didn’t need to set such firm boundaries now, but it seems to be the only way to maintain your autonomy. Misplaced negativity could sideswipe an already impassioned interaction today, making a difficult conversation even worse. Nevertheless, you can avert a crisis with kindness rather than anger. Statesman Hubert Humphrey said, “The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.”

Virgo Horoscope Aug 23 – Sep 22

You are motivated to initiate a dialogue about a very sensitive topic today, because you are so positive about your position that you’re willing to take on anyone. Although you might even believe you’re invincible, powerful feelings are unleashed and you are not immune to their effects. You assume you can cling to your objectivity now, but you are quickly swept up in a whirlpool of emotions. The more you resist, the stronger the current. Spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy taught, “Surrender is a journey from the outer turmoil to the inner peace.”

Libra Horoscope Sep 23 – Oct 22

You are quick to offer to act as the mediator in a domestic disagreement today. Although it hurts your heart when people are in conflict, you are eager to step in to reduce the emotional tension through diplomatic means. However, the discord runs deep now and a lasting resolution may demand more than just discussing the differences. Sooner or later you must accept that the problem is not yours. Do what you can to broker a peace agreement and then leave the process to those who are directly involved. Deepak Chopra said, “In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.”

Scorpio Horoscope Oct 23 – Nov 21

You are strongly opinionated today, and your passion could act as a lightning rod that attracts an unsolicited argument. You believe someone is purposefully trying to pick a fight, but you won’t have any part in it. You might put on a happy face, thinking you can smile your way around a conflict, but the more you hide your true feelings, the stronger they grow. Educator Vida Dutton Scudder wrote, “The suppression of war is not the equivalent of peace.”

Sagittarius Horoscope Nov 22 – Dec 21

Your friends might say the nicest things to you today, but you are suspicious of their hidden agendas. No matter how you try to reframe their compliments, alarms are ringing and causing you concern. However, you’re hesitant to broach the topic because you don’t want to appear as if you’re paranoid. Nevertheless, it’s not in your best interest to stay silent now. Find a way to start a conversation without making accusations.

Capricorn Horoscope Dec 22 – Jan 19

You may think that others are taking you for granted today. You wish your contributions were recognized and appreciated more often. Ironically, your needy behavior could be the cause of your apparent invisibility as you try harder than ever to be noticed. People might be put off by your pushy approach, choosing to withdraw from engaging with your energy now. Just go about your work without any fanfare and watch as you gain status among your peers. A Chinese proverb teaches, “The journey is the reward.”

Aquarius Horoscope Jan 20 – Feb 18

You’re faced with a conundrum today as you’re tempted to participate in a group activity while simultaneously wanting to escape. You long for a deep connection with your peers and wish to pursue current opportunities to develop meaningful relationships. However, an inner voice tells you to step back from the crowd now, warning you about the possibility of losing your individual identity in the process of joining a team. Author J.K. Rowling proudly proclaimed, “I always felt an outsider.”

Pisces Horoscope Feb 19 – Mar 20

A social cause could catch your attention and reel your heart in before you know it. You might not be aware of how significantly your involvement will impact your life until it’s too late. Nevertheless, you can justify your actions with your commitment to following a higher calling. Unfortunately, a conflict between your immediate desires and your long-term goals makes you unsure of your decision. Harville Hendrix wrote, “Nature doesn’t care that you are comfortable, only that you evolve.”

General Horoscope

Everything seems to be functioning as it should today, without unnecessary drama. Nevertheless, the ambitious Capricorn Moon motivates us to set priorities, make a plan and do whatever it takes to reach our goals. Although it’s not difficult to find a groove and stay on track now, we still need to be on the lookout for subtle curve balls being thrown our way from invisible realms. Exercising free will counterbalances being at the whims of fate.

Aries Horoscope Mar 21 – Apr 19

Setting your sites on a distant destination can be an act of faith for many people. But you are so determined to reach your goal now that you spend more time collecting information and creating a strategy than is necessary. Of course, being well-prepared increases the likelihood of a favorable outcome, but your atypical behavior is puzzling to those who know you well. Don’t waste energy worrying about anyone else’s analysis of your efforts today. The only one who you need to prove anything to is you.

Taurus Horoscope Apr 20 – May 20

Although you are driven to honor a high ethical standard, your need for practicality might tempt you to soften your stance now. Searching for the truth can be a fulltime job, especially if you decide to leave no stone unturned until you find the answers to all your questions. But sometimes, fulfilling basic needs becomes so urgent that you must let your idealism slide. Don’t be too hard on yourself during this temporary state of affairs. Robert Tew wrote, “The struggle you’re in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.”

Gemini Horoscope May 21 – Jun 20

Finishing a job is easier than it looks today. Nevertheless, you’re still subject to your all-too-familiar attraction to variety. Fortunately, you can perform a bit of magic now by asking structured Saturn for help. Set a timer when you start a task and every time you are distracted, bring your attention back to the clock. This simple practice helps to set an efficient rhythm to your work. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “Concentration is the secret of strength.”

Cancer Horoscope Jun 21 – Jul 22

You can make extraordinary gains on a major project today, especially if you remain open to receiving assistance from your peers. It’s not that you are dependent on others; it’s just that a simple nudge or a bit of well-timed advice is more significant than you realize. Naturally, you must do your part by committing to a schedule and working hard to meet your deadlines. Your exemplary example sets the tone for everyone else. Hal Elrod wrote, “The moment you take responsibility for everything in your life is the moment you can change anything in your life.”

Leo Horoscope Jul 23 – Aug 22

Scheduling your activities carefully so you can meet all your commitments is a smart strategy. But you could add so much structure to your day that you’re constantly thinking about what you need to do next, rather than being present in the moment. People notice a change in your attitude today and might even think you are micro-managing everything. Gaining efficiency is an admirable goal but not at the expense of meaningful human connections. Over-planning kills the magic of spontaneity and the joy of surprise.

Virgo Horoscope Aug 23 – Sep 22

There may be so much happening in your life now that it’s challenging to focus on one thing at a time. Your performance at a routine task feels empty today, even if your coworkers appreciate your effort. You want your creativity to be acknowledged, not just your hard work. Unfortunately, finding your productive groove might prove to be a simpler task than maintaining it throughout the day, requiring extra concentration on your part. Consistency is your friend.

Libra Horoscope Sep 23 – Oct 22

Your self-confidence is the only necessary ingredient to start a project, and your growing enthusiasm even motivates others to care about your cause. Naturally, you like the idea of collaboration, but you might find it particularly taxing to work with anyone else now. Sometimes, embarking on a course of action excludes outside assistance, especially if you’re not sure yet where you want to end up. Businesswoman Anne Sweeney said, “Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules, and build a life you’re proud to live.”

Scorpio Horoscope Oct 23 – Nov 21

You are caught in an unusual dilemma of your own making today. You know you’re on a positive track that’s leading you to a successful conclusion of a job well done. But you can’t seem to escape a handful of self-limiting beliefs that impede your progress. It is said that working smarter is more productive than working harder. Part of your current intelligence is the wisdom to relinquish some aspect of the past, which, in turn, allows you to release old behavior patterns that are no longer of use. Don’t overthink, just let it go.

Sagittarius Horoscope Nov 22 – Dec 21

You’re not in the mood to share your goals with anyone today. You prefer everyone to think that all your efforts are going toward more immediate concerns. Nevertheless, it’s impossible to take your mind off your future now, since you know that every move you make is part of a long-term trajectory. Unfortunately, the amount of cerebral energy you use to keep your deep-rooted truth a secret is a greater burden than describing it. Revealing your dreams inspires others to do the same.

Capricorn Horoscope Dec 22 – Jan 19

Although you’re willing to discuss your plans today, you might keep a few parts of your overall strategy under wraps. You want to engage in conversations that could spark new ideas, but your cautious nature won’t allow you to give away any trade secrets. You are a champion at calculating the best odds and you’re not interested in reducing your chances for success now by encouraging any serious competition. Economist Michael Porter wrote, “The essence of strategy is choosing what not to do.”

Aquarius Horoscope Jan 20 – Feb 18

You have unused skills and undeveloped talents that can elevate your standing in your career. However, you’re in no hurry to bring out these secret weapons yet. You believe that you only get one chance at making your impression on those who could help you professionally — and you’re willing to exercise your self-restraint while you continue to sharpen the tools in your toolbox. Joyce Meyer wrote, “Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.”

Pisces Horoscope Feb 19 – Mar 20

Oftentimes, you set a goal and figure out your plan while you’re already in motion. You Fish like to zig-zag back and forth as you wiggle your way closer and closer to your loosely defined destination that gains clarity as you approach it. However, your modus operandi is radically different today as you rely on a detailed itinerary that you have already created and revised many times. Your advanced preparation will serve you well now, clearing the way for your steady progress until you reach your dreams.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
