Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 27

What we do now has consequences in the future, and the ambitious Capricorn Moon reminds us that the most reliable way to ensure success now is to work hard until it pays off. Although the Moon symbolizes our fluctuating moods, we try to gain stability by building and reinforcing structures in our lives that don’t change. Meanwhile, our assumptions are challenged today as logical Mercury aligns with evolutionary Pluto and revolutionary Uranus.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You have a lot to do today, but your responsible attitude goes beyond the normal business hours. Your top priority is to finish your chores, so make a list of all your tasks and stay focused until you have made a serious dent in your work. Put your stress to use by pushing extra hard to tie up any loose ends now. Don’t delay because your reservoir of energy could dissipate later in the week.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may feel as if you are meeting resistance wherever you go when you would much rather be spending quality time with a close friend or partner. But others might seem emotionally cooler now as they set up roadblocks to delay your possible satisfaction. Try not to get too worked up over the stress. Instead, concentrate on the love that is in your life; celebrate the cup being half-full instead of complaining that it’s half-empty.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your greatest concern now is that you can’t pursue every curiosity that pops up in your life. Your time and energy are limited by circumstances beyond your control, and your current situation may prevent you from being as footloose and fancy free as you prefer. Yet, behind the apparent frustrations, important changes are occurring in your private inner world, so don’t stand in the way of progress.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your emotional neediness could prevent you from finding happiness now, for it is not likely that others will meet your expectations. This is not as bad as it might sound since the real lesson here is about learning what you can give yourself. Use your time wisely to clearly define what you want from a relationship. If you are already in a close partnership of any kind, you may need to back off a bit to allow everyone involved more breathing room.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It seems as if your life is going to settle down now, but this may be a premature judgment. Even if you see solid movement in your career, there are unexpected twists and turns in the path you have chosen. Be smart and prepare for whatever you might find once you get around the next bend in the road. Your ability to analyze the facts and decide what is most important will help you through this difficult phase.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Some people mistakenly think that creativity originates only from the wellsprings of inspiration. However, the source of your creative streak may be triggered from your desire to finish a project now. You know what you want and you have the ability to transform your professional ambitions and romantic urges into serious practical manifestations. Whatever you do today, be certain that it is done with a greater purpose in mind.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Tension finds its way to the surface today, even if you are trying to maintain stability at home or in your relationships with your family. But a disruption to your routine might not be such a bad thing if it puts you in touch with repressed emotions. Don’t resist your feelings now, even if they make you uncomfortable. Increased awareness facilitates positive change that may already be overdue.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be facing two very different issues now. On one hand, you are redefining your own boundaries — and this can lead to increased isolation for a while. On the other hand, a parade of amazing revelations prevents you from slipping into self-pity. Ultimately, you’re amused by the soap opera that is your life. This is a very healthy attitude since personal growth is possible if you reduce the drama by cultivating some emotional detachment.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although self-criticism can be a powerful motivation at certain times in your life, it just slows you down now. If your typically high self-esteem is presently faltering, make a deal with yourself to travel the depths of your subconscious. Decide what’s most valuable and then come back up to the surface refreshed and ready to work for what you want.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Waves of intense feelings wash over you, but your tendency is to strengthen your tide walls so you can shut off the flow of emotions. You may be afraid that if you allow these feelings to rise to the surface, they will destabilize your personal world in ways that are not easy to manage. However, the more you try to hold back your irrational emotions, the greater the possibility of unwanted changes. Relax your resistance; you can learn what you need to know by trusting your inner wisdom.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Someone may be trying to control your behavior today, yet you don’t seem to have enough information at your disposal to resist with confidence. There are hidden pieces to the puzzle now and it’s difficult to fight an unseen enemy. Rather than actively arguing point by point, it’s more productive to hold on to familiar routines for a while longer. The truth becomes clear soon enough, and there will still be time enough to act when it does.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are being prohibited from expressing yourself as freely as you would like today, yet this restraint ironically works in your favor. If you say whatever is on your mind now, you could inadvertently offend the people that mean the most to you. If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. Patience is your best friend; proceed slowly and with great intent.

Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for August 27

In the dance between intellect and emotion feelings come out on top this weekend. Friday’s Full Moon in imaginative Pisces overwhelms logical thinking with desires to connect with others and to escape the world of work and reason. Yet allowing dreams to overcome reality can lead to an abrupt awakening with disruptive lunar aspects on Sunday adding a bit of shock value to our lives.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may spend much of the weekend feeling like an outsider with the mysterious Pisces Moon occupying your 12th House of Obscurity until late Saturday night. Time spent alone or with one inspirational person provides the quiet and contemplative space you need. Then the Moon blasts into your incendiary sign to pump you up with excitement. However, tough lunar aspects with outer planets Pluto and Uranus can expose secrets and spring surprises on Sunday.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Misreading the intentions of others is possible on Friday with a hypersensitive Pisces Full Moon and an edgy aspect involving your romantic ruling planet Venus. Her semisquare with the willful Sun represents wounded pride if you take critical comments to heart. But this is more about proving your worth to yourself than seeking external approval. Treating yourself with tenderness is the best way to get everyone else to do the same.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

A major breakthrough in relationships is possible with Friday’s Pisces Full Moon illuminating your 7th House of Partners. What you may realize is that feelings count more than facts and that you shouldn’t let petty issues get in the way of your instincts. Forgive and forget if that’s what it takes to let go of an old wound. Imagination will inspire you to get closer with the one you’re with or allow you to connect with a kind and creative new person.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

There’s no holding back your feelings with Friday’s evocative Full Moon in sister water sign Pisces. Truth has a way of leaking out, even when you are keeping it from yourself. Ultimately, this emotional exposure can be a relief and allows you to regain trust in a relationship. Getting away from it all is a great way to celebrate this new found freedom, whether you’re currently single or have a supportive partner to keep you company. Imagination and compassion are the magic ingredients that help to restore your faith in love.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The spiritual Pisces Full Moon on Friday shines a bright light on vulnerability in relationships. It occurs in your 8th House of Intimacy to bring more honesty to a partnership, which may not be fun but can bring you closer to the one you love. This creative transit inspires your imagination. You’re able to readily change roles and shift your attitude according to the circumstances. Letting go and trusting the flow makes it a pleasure to connect.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You need a little love and tenderness this weekend with Friday’s delicate Pisces Full Moon occurring in your 7th House of Partners. Don’t sweat the small stuff since there may be more important issues at stake. Overlooking petty differences creates a magical connection but it can be easily broken by unnecessary criticism. Put the real world on hold to let imagination open the way to romance. Don’t worry about the future so you can truly enjoy the magic of the moment.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Relationship action gets hot and heavy on Saturday night when the Moon fires into irrepressible Aries and your 7th House of Partnerships. You could be more impulsive than usual or connect with individuals who lack patience. The line between flirting and fighting grows very thin now, turning attraction into aggression if you take things too far. Still, it’s better to make waves by standing up for yourself than accepting unkind treatment. Loving yourself enables others to love you too.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your sex appeal is off the charts with Friday’s hypnotic Pisces Full Moon lighting up your 5th House of Romance. You can create your own fantasy world and attract companions to play with you in it. Coming across in an easygoing way makes you especially desirable. Demonstrating your generosity and being undemanding is a great way to gain trust. Don’t focus so hard on your own desires that you fail to recognize what others want.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Laying low until late Saturday night gives you a chance to grab plenty of rest to prepare for the action to come. Once the Moon fires into spontaneous Aries and your 5th House of Romance let the fun and games begin, especially when they involve new people or activities. You can grab attention in an instant but if you aren’t careful, you might kick up some opposition with tense lunar aspects to rebellious Pluto and Uranus on Sunday. Stop and think before you overreact.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Conversations rooted in compassion where you listen with your heart are the keys to making romance happen this week. The spiritual Pisces Full Moon brightens your communicative 3rd House on Friday, warming you with tenderness. Read between the lines to get the real meaning of what’s being said instead of skimming the surface. Being fully present with your eyes and ears creates deeper connections that go beyond words.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon traveling through your sign from Tuesday morning to Thursday afternoon brings your feelings to the surface. But simply putting them out there might not get the desired response. Tense planetary patterns encourage unvarnished honesty, which isn’t easy for others to take in. If you consider the impact of what you’re about to say, you can find gracious ways to express yourself that are more likely to be understood and appreciated.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

There’s no keeping your emotions out of sight on Friday with an expressive Full Moon in your super-sensitive sign. If you’re in a good place now, this vulnerability can make you especially enchanting to others. However, self-pity is not going to help your cause, so work out the hard stuff privately instead of displaying it to the world. Besides, the highest potential of this Full Moon is found in recognizing that you need to take responsibility for your feelings. Your happiness is found in your own heart.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, August 24

We are just as easily misled by our own perceptions as we are by someone else now that the Sun opposes illusory Neptune. We could convince ourselves of almost anything we want to believe. Although we grow more creative as our imaginations run wild, it’s tricky discerning fact from fiction. But we don’t have to seek an escape route today; it will find us. The uplifting Sagittarius Moon reminds us that we can journey to places that offer us hope.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are eager to negotiate for the common good today, but you’re not ready to set aside your personal needs. You know all about your financial bottom line and may be afraid of reaching it. But don’t worry; things are not as grim as they appear. Try not to make too many impulsive judgments until you have all of the facts. Acting too soon might lead you into trouble you can simply avoid by planning in advance.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The adventurous Sagittarius Moon is fueling your emotional renewal, yet there’s also another influence bubbling up today. Nebulous Neptune brings a highly spiritual kind of love to your relationships, even if your friends confuse you with their actions. Fortunately, you should be able to draw on your common sense to get some perspective. But don’t pretend you know exactly what’s going on now; stay in touch with your uncertainty, even if it makes you uneasy. There’s magic to be found if you can surrender to the unknown.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may find yourself swinging back and forth between the largest possible view of life and the most specific details. Your imagination soars today, allowing you to see every issue from a global perspective. But it’s difficult for you to act on a grandiose vision. Bringing your mental meandering back down to earth will be rewarded now. Find small ways to move toward the big picture.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You aren’t as resistant to change as your co-workers think. After all, the Crab’s daily rhythms are intimately connected with the constantly shifting tides. But today, as emotional currents finally shift, it may be challenging to tell which way the waters will ultimately be flowing. Hold on to your current position for now. Wait a few days until the confusion clears before taking action.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

If a close friend or partner is hard to read, it may be that your own confusion is broadcasting mixed messages which now echo back to you. If you are uncertain about a relationship, don’t fall into the trap of pretending that everything is OK. By covering up your feelings today, you are setting the stage for more misunderstandings to surface later on. Be honest about what you need while also imagining the best possible outcome.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your spiritual energy is growing stronger and metaphysical interests may take on greater significance these days. Subtle changes are occurring now, even if their effects aren’t yet visible. Although there are big shifts on the horizon, they are already being activated in your subconscious. Quit worrying about the details today to fully benefit from what’s happening in your imagination.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are the uncontested champion of the balancing act, yet today you’re feeling unsettled as the cosmic conflict between the willful Sun and confusing Neptune now pulls you in two directions. Part of you is ascending into the spiritual realm as another part handles the very real limitations of the material world. You may idealize the situation, yet it is crucial to try to see things as they truly are. Honoring both sides — the invisible and the tangible — ensures that you’ll be ready for whatever happens next.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may not know where you are going these days, yet your role in the outer world is still very important to you. You wonder if you should pursue your career or place more attention on the spiritual dimensions of your soul. There are no quick and easy answers to this existential dilemma. Simplify the issues as much as you can and then let yourself feel what it’s like to linger in your own uncertainty. The longer you sustain the mystery, the easier the resolution will be when clarity finally arrives.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are often drawn toward the grandest ideas, since you enjoy living your life in a big way. You may not always attend to all the details, and sometimes they can come back to haunt you. You don’t have the inclination to return from your current dreams yet if you’re wandering on the outer edges of the universe. However, you might not have a choice if the hard cold truth requires you to pay close attention. Take your cues from reality and do the responsible thing.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The inspirational Sagittarius Moon tends to pull you away from more practical realms. It may be more difficult to keep both feet on the ground now with magical Neptune lifting you into the clouds of illusion. You might be required to solve complicated problems involving your relationships with friends or co-workers. Stick to the facts because there is great potential to misunderstand each other’s basic values. Listening with your heart helps to keep you on track.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

One-on-one relationships are a source of confusion today, especially if you don’t listen to what others are saying. It takes extra effort to hear the truth because your words can get in the way of the message. But don’t force your perspective on anyone else. The solution to the current tension comes from recognizing multiple points of view and allowing them to exist side by side now without panicking.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are quite wise to attend to the rigorous demands of your life by taking concrete action and checking off each item on your list of things to do. The truth is that you may find it very challenging to maintain focus today as the Sun opposes your key planet Neptune. You would rather spend time daydreaming, reading a book or going to a movie. Finish your work first; you can fully enjoy guilt-free time afterward to activate your imagination.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 24

Recall that a void lunar uncertainty zone in Scorpio started early yesterday and lasts until the Moon enters upbeat, fiery Sagittarius (3:51AM PDT). Before the lunar entry into the adventure-seeking, ninth sign of the zodiac, the cosmos wants you to get back on track with investments since Mercury forms a 60-degree rapport with Vesta (2:11AM PDT). It is best to utilize the constructive features of this Moon-Vesta connection after the Moon sets foot into Sagittarian territory.  After the Moon is firmly in Sagittarius, you may feel the urge to solve problems and conduct strategy sessions with respected teachers, mentors or friends as Ceres makes an inspirational, 72-degree link to Pallas (4:12AM PDT). Some of the hoopla, enthusiasm and joy present in Sagittarius Moon become temporarily stifled during the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (activating 2 degrees of Gemini and Sagittarius at 6:55AM PDT). Your present goal is to cut through apparent obstacles in your physical and emotional realms. Manage your business affairs with greater finesse.  Some additional worries can catch you napping around 4:39PM PDT when Venus makes a frictional, 135-degree link to dreamy Neptune. Be more sensible in romance and concerning money-making ventures under this somewhat uncomfortable Venus-Neptune interaction.  Meanwhile, your intuition and ingenious mind are fired up as the Moon makes a flowing trine to Uranus in Aries (5:13PM PDT). If you add on tomorrow morning’s Moon trine to Mercury in Leo, then a Grand Triangle is developing in fire signs overnight that can give your psychic batteries a healthy recharge.
