Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, August 23

The bouncy Gemini Moon has us jumping from one thought to the next, unable to find a place of rest. The Sun’s shift into picky Virgo requires us to sift through the intellectual noise in order to separate the useful data from the static. Gemini and Virgo share mental Mercury as their ruling planet, underscoring the need for a logical approach. Mercury is retrograde, reminding us to pay attention to the details before jumping to any conclusions.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Apologizing doesn’t come easy to you, yet it’s critical to find a way to overcome your resistance to being wrong. It’s healthy now to admit that you still may have a bit of growing to do. However, it’s not enough to just say the proper words and think that you’re off the hook. You have to feel it from the heart — and getting in touch with your emotions requires you to slow down and listen to what’s going on beneath the ongoing noise of your life.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You want to concentrate on the good news today rather than focusing on your feelings of insecurity or vulnerability. You are able to project an upbeat attitude and confident self-image now, even if you’re silently concerned about something you aren’t sharing. Your worries may be valid, but you’ll only make matters worse if you believe that you can handle your problems without involving someone you love.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might talk up a storm today, but being chatty is a useful way to cover up your emotional insecurity. You may not have as much self-confidence as others think, but you can rest assured that your feelings will settle down, even if your return to normalcy takes a few more days. If your moods are unstable now, saying less should enable you to be more truthful about anything that’s really important to you.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be stirring up your own trouble today by imagining that people aren’t telling you the whole story. Your fears can be magnified if others have little or nothing to say, but it could be your own emotional reserve that encourages them to act similarly. Rather than asking lots of questions to show your interest, take a risk and share a bit about your own personal history first. Your openness might be exactly what is necessary to get the conversation flowing.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

One of the ways you can acknowledge the Sun passing out of your sign and into service-centered Virgo is to let go of any self-centered feelings. Naturally, it’s important to have enough confidence to successfully begin a new project. But too much focus on yourself isn’t the healthiest thing right now. Disperse some of the imbalance by shifting your attention to your friends and associates. Ultimately, it’s more efficient and fun to work as equals, even if you are technically running the show.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Someone may try to convince you that you’re doing the right thing, but you’re not so sure about it. Part of your predicament is that you can waver on nearly any decision today, possibly creating chaos in your schedule. Don’t let your self-judgment run the show; instead, seek to understand how everyone else sees you now. Envisioning yourself as part of the big picture can help to reduce any temporary feelings of isolation.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be under the illusion that whatever you create now is artistically sound, even if it’s not of practical value. Nevertheless, it’s silly to waste energy trying to justify what you’ve done based on what you believe someone will say after you’re finished. Even if you receive harsh criticism later, you can still learn from your current experience. The best way to discover what you can do is to simply do it.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re usually not interested in messing around with shallow conversations or activities that sidetrack you from more meaningful interactions. Today is no exception with the Moon’s visit to your 8th House of Deep Sharing encouraging you to experience the full intensity of life. Ironically, you might not want to get your hands dirty in the process now that the Sun is in fussy Virgo. Keep in mind that exerting emotional control to tidy up an uncomfortable situation could ultimately turn it into exactly what you’re attempting to avoid.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you may be rather even-tempered today, a friend or partner can get under your skin, eventually provoking you to snap. Be smart and don’t try to hide your annoyance because it’s more disruptive if you bury it. Your feelings won’t take avoidance or denial as a viable strategy now. Express your frustration calmly; everyone will feel better once the air has been cleared.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You don’t want to let your feelings stand in the way of your ambitions, but your fantasies can lead you down a dead-end strategy today if you don’t pay attention to the facts. Thankfully, you can negate your unrealistic expectations by asking questions and then listening carefully to the feedback you receive. Integrating critical information now can increase your efficiency at work while helping you to be more realistic in the long run.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Others tend to see you as less practical than you really are now. Although you yearn for the ideal rather than the reality because you want everything to be beautiful, there are limits to your daydreams. An imaginative view of the world based on obsessive thinking isn’t necessarily helpful, so don’t get so wrapped up in your own thoughts that you miss what’s right in front of your nose. Deal with the truth today rather than waiting until after the damage is done.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are eager to handle a difficult situation by swinging into action right away, even if you don’t have a practical plan in mind yet. Although you may not be the impulsive type, your idealism can inspire you to react today without thinking about the consequences. Nevertheless, you are wise to reevaluate your options prior to committing to any one path. Postpone the most critical decisions until you have had sufficient time to consider where your current strategy will take you.

New Moon Report for Aug. 23 – Sun in Virgo

Sun in Virgo

Tuesday, August 23, 4:21 am PDT, 7:21 am EDT

Virgo is a sign of efficiency that’s more interested in getting the job done right than looking good or playing to the crowd. We can grow more conscious of ways to take care of our bodies and our obligations with less wasted time and effort. This sign’s penchant for perfectionism can lead to unreasonable expectations. Yet the purpose of setting high standards is to inspire us to work toward them and respect the progress we’re making even if there’s still a long way to go.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 22

The pace picks up now that the Moon is in jittery Gemini. Our irrepressible curiosity tempts us to follow nearly any person, thought or activity that hooks our imaginations. However, we may not make the best choices as the Sun opposes confusing Neptune, blurring our senses and muddling boundaries. Instead of seeing things objectively, we are looking at reality through rose-colored glasses that allow our subjectivity to alter our perceptions.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s not easy to follow through on whatever you start today. You probably have already promised more than you can deliver, and noisy distractions make it even harder now to concentrate on any particular task. Fortunately, you can turn a difficult situation to your advantage when necessary, so focus your intentions on the present moment and make some magic happen.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you are able to accomplish a lot today, it’s challenging to keep up with so many things pulling you in a variety of directions. You could quickly exhaust yourself if you don’t set sensible limits early in the day. You truly want to please others now, making it hard to say no to their enticing offers. Ultimately, you can gain more respect for stating what you can’t do than falling short of your unrealistic promises.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The Moon’s return to inquisitive Gemini has you asking one question after another about what you’re doing and where you’re going. It’s wise to take time to be alone now so you can think about your goals, even if it’s tempting to distract yourself with social activities. Don’t let your desire for fun keep you from following through with what you know is best.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your ability to play it low key enables you to show up at work without revealing too much about your personal life. Others may think that they can see the true you, but you might be turning on the charm in order to hide something you don’t want to talk about. Trust your intuition now; don’t divulge your feelings until you’re more comfortable with what you have to say.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are in the midst of an internal battle, although it may play out now in the realm of relationships. The radiant Sun in your generous sign encourages you to express the love that’s in your heart while its opposition to spiritual Neptune dissipates the boundaries that would normally prevent you from going further. Unfortunately, your friends won’t be of much help now because they’ll just tell you to throw caution to the wind. Being brave is admirable, but you could regret your actions if you act foolishly.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s tough to make a job-related decision today, for you wish you could travel down both paths that diverge at a fork in the road. Even if you can delay your final judgment for a few days, you may not be able to avoid making a choice about your future. Take your time and consider all of the alternatives before agreeing to any long-term commitments.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might want everyone to know that you’re up for anything the group decides today. You may even believe that it’s more important now to support your friends and co-workers than it is to further your own agenda. But you want to enjoy yourself as much as anyone else, so don’t be so fast to minimize your desires for the sake of the community.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are motivated to shine professionally now with the Sun in your 10th House of Status. You are often content to work behind the scenes, yet today you yearn to be on center stage. You are doing a great job and want everyone to know about your superhuman efforts. You may feel as if a new set of priorities is replacing the old list of rules. Don’t question your objectives; just push toward them and see how it feels. You can always return to your previous agenda if you so choose.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your goals may become increasingly significant now that someone rattles your nerves when he or she doesn’t support your program. It’s hard for you to understand why others aren’t more concerned about the future, and it makes you feel slightly out of control. Instead of attempting to tighten the reins, it’s smarter to loosen them for a while and see where it all goes.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You can feel the Moon’s restless tug as she pulls you one way and then another. You might attempt to disregard your shifting emotions, but you don’t seem to have a lot of control now over your feelings. Let the whimsical winds carry you along because attempts to alter their direction are fruitless. Take scenic routes and detours whenever possible today, for your horizons widen as soon as you step off the beaten path.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be struggling to find your way in a relationship now, even if everything seems copasetic to others. You’re hopeful that the current tension will dissipate all by itself before emotions erupt. But unspoken issues lurk beneath the surface, like monsters in a nightmare waiting for you to let down your guard. The Moon is in your 5th House of Romance, so keep shining the light of your awareness to bring up your fears where they can finally be put in their proper perspective.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your key planet Jupiter opens doors faster than you’re able to walk through them today. Oddly enough, if you do grab on to an opportunity, you still may have to wait a while until it begins to pay off. It might feel as if you have been here before; somehow, it seems like the wheels of time are turning backward. Nevertheless, keep looking ahead; it’s the future that’s calling and not the past.

Your Horoscopes for Sunday, August 21

A fanciful Venus-Neptune opposition enables us to fall in love with beauty, ignoring the practical details. Although this tug-of-war between artsy Venus and foggy Neptune enables us to tap into our creativity, we may be challenged to discern the truth as we’re easily confused by our imaginations. Venus’ shift into orderly Virgo helps to clarify our desires while the Moon’s move into clever Gemini at 8:52 pm EDT increases our mental agility.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The closer you get to the facts today, the more you realize that you don’t really know what’s happening. Although you may be inclined to jump to premature conclusions now, the longer you can sit with your uncertainty, the better your chance for success. Instead of pushing for resolution on a relationship issue, allow yourself to let go of your need for control and be enchanted by the mysteries of love.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your key planet Venus opposes imaginative Neptune today, tempting you to confuse reality with your dreams. However, you probably won’t float off into the clouds with the Moon in your pragmatic sign for most of the day. Pay attention to your heart’s desires now, because you could turn a daydream into something real. Be willing to take a risk and let go of what you assume to be true.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You have a great idea about what you want to do today, but your preferences are limited by practical considerations that prevent you from getting exactly what you want. Instead of feeling disappointed if reality falls short of your expectations, look for the undiscovered opportunities that come along with the unexpected changes. There are more options than you can imagine if you only remain open to them.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You could easily miss some important details today because your daydreams are so distracting. One strategy includes asking lots of questions and remembering to read every word before signing anything. Mercury’s current retrograde requires you to reconsider your financial options, but your mind is operating with fuzzy logic now. Don’t assume that everything will just work out for the best. You may be sorely disappointed if you do.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Relationships can present a real dilemma today because sweet Venus in your sign adds to your charm while nebulous Neptune clouds your judgment. Someone may enchant you now as your imagination turns a frog into a prince (or princess) in your mind. Everything looks good until you wake up and have to deal with things the way they are in reality rather than how they are in your fantasies.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be in for a frustrating day if you think that you need to maintain control in a relationship. But your illusions will likely dissipate quickly, like clouds after a storm, once you have your first confrontation with a friend or partner who doesn’t buy into your way of seeing things. Letting someone else lead for a while lessens the pressure and allows you to enjoy yourself without having to know every detail.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your ruling planet Venus brings you a beautiful image today, but it’s slightly out of focus as she engages in a tug-of-war with mystical Neptune. It may be difficult to meet your responsibilities now because you prefer seeking the elusive perfection of beauty than dealing with mundane reality. But don’t leave your chores undone; once your work is finished you can drift off into dreamland without any interruptions.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A solution to a dilemma may not be forthcoming today, but part of the problem is that you won’t receive useful answers until you can formulate clear questions. Take some quiet time away from your current responsibilities to untangle your thoughts. Once you’ve established a logical starting point, the rest of the process will be much easier. Nevertheless, be patient; it may take a few days to obtain the clarity you need.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Even if you’re dealing with the same issues as yesterday, they might not appear to bother you as much today. However, just beneath your life-is-beautiful veneer, stresses are still at work. Don’t waste energy trying to make your life look better than it actually is. Once others see that you have problems like everyone else, they’ll be more inclined to interact with you personally. Expressing the truth reveals your vulnerability and opens a door for a truly honest relationship.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may not know what to think today as your core beliefs are brought into question. Thankfully, you no longer have to pretend that you have all the answers. Once you’re free from being in charge, you’ll have more time to delve into your own subconscious to discover where things may have gone awry. Practice being more flexible; if you are too rigid in your thinking now, something may have to give and it won’t likely be very pleasant.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might be having a problem within an intimate or family relationship today, yet you cannot see things as they truly are. Your imagination has overtaken reality and you aren’t able to get to the bottom of an issue because your judgment isn’t as sharp as usual. Don’t push too hard for any sort of change now; just let the process happen at its own rate.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s not easy for you to keep your impulses in check today, especially if someone is tempting you to go out on a limb and express your feelings. But your partner or a friend could lay down some rules now that won’t let you off the hook so easily. Instead of striking out because you’re afraid of being vulnerable, integrate your fears into your life and face them before you experience a relationship crisis.

New Moon Report for Aug. 21 – Venus in Virgo

Venus in Virgo

Sunday, August 21, 3:11 pm PDT, 6:11 pm EDT

The love planet’s entry into earthy Virgo permits us to view relationships in a more practical manner. Emotions are tempered by operational considerations that can take the steam out of unrealistic romance, but increase the efficiency of partnerships. The discerning eye of this sign may focus on flaws, yet its value comes from constructive criticism that helps to solve problems instead of presenting them as failures. A more refined sense of taste allows us to appreciate life’s pleasures without overindulging ourselves.

Your Horoscopes for Saturday, August 20

Today’s determined Taurus Moon helps us keep our heads out of the clouds and our feet on the ground, while a trine with enthusiastic Jupiter encourages us to fly. Three planets in radiant Leo and a magical Venus-Uranus quintile infuse us with the desire to try something new. However, taking a risk is not advised. We may need to keep our feelings to ourselves later in the day because Venus forms a stressful semisquare to restrictive Saturn.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

A bit of sensible self-restraint is wise because you tend to see more of the good news than the bad today. The power of positive thinking may be on your side; however, you can take this strategy too far by ignoring the facts. Remember, it’s helpful to be an optimist, but it’s not useful to remain in denial.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You won’t likely veer too far off course today, even if a different route looks better than the one you’re already traveling. Fortunately, you can recognize that there are many ways to reach the same goal and the one that works for someone else isn’t necessarily the best choice for you. Be appreciative and acknowledge each of the ideas that are presented to you now before returning to your path, knowing that it will serve your purpose best.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Although you are feeling pretty good today, you may believe that it’s important to keep your optimism under wraps. The Moon’s conjunction with jolly Jupiter in your 12th House of Secrets means that no one will know that you’re smiling on the inside. In the meantime, don’t forget about your obligations. Having fun isn’t just an excuse to get out of work. In fact, you should be able to find a way to combine your responsibilities with a lighthearted attitude that enables you to be productive while still enjoying yourself. Just be careful not to take on more than you can do.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your friends can be a source of joy today as the Moon joins jovial Jupiter in your social 11th House of Community. Nevertheless, you could still have a tough time expressing a secret fear if you are concerned that others may not accept you just the way you are. You might even grow frustrated with your own inhibitions, wishing that you were more easygoing. Don’t waste energy trying to do anything that’s uncomfortable now; just observe your feelings and say what’s on your mind only when you are ready.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s an absolute relief to let someone else take the lead today. Giving up control can be very exhilarating on its own, but you’re in luck now because your friends or co-workers may have something fun in mind. Processing your own resistance quickly allows you to open up some playtime in your already busy schedule. Go ahead and indulge yourself; your work will still be there when you return.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may want to retreat into a more private space because excessive social activity makes you feel nervous today. Unfortunately, you have to incur interactions with others to do your job or to accomplish what is expected of you. If you withdraw, the pressure could build until you fulfill your commitments. Paradoxically, you might have a great time once you stop resisting the inevitable.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Today could be a wonderful day if you are open to all the potential possibilities that come your way. But as the day unfolds, it appears that you are more attached to an old agenda than you previously thought. Someone may seem quite stubborn and can become a pain in your neck until you realize that you’re being inflexible, too. Adapt to the changing circumstances and enjoy yourself while you can.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Something that bothered you recently seems less annoying now. Perhaps you change your attitude when you learn additional information that you were previously missing. Or, maybe you simply have a change of heart. You may see the very same person who was obstinate yesterday as the source of steadfast support today. In any case, your willingness to try new experiences can attract exactly what you are seeking.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You cannot escape from the drudgery of routines now, but someone can take you on a little adventure that leaves you relaxed and reinvigorated. Whether it is a fascinating discussion at a long lunch with friends or a peaceful sunset stroll with your sweetie, getting away for a bit today is exactly what you need to clear your mind.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re eager to start on your new project, even if you don’t know where it will take you yet. Your willingness to make a commitment before you have all the details stems from your high level of self-confidence. You are secure in knowing what you stand for now and what you bring to the situation, freeing you to say yes to an intriguing opportunity and save the hard questions for later.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The potential for fun and games continues to grow, making it nearly impossible for you to choose only one path. But you need to limit your activities because you cannot do everything. Still, you may take on more than you can handle today, without realizing that too much of a good thing can tire you out or, at the least, cause indigestion. Practice moderation; a bit of self-restraint now allows you to have a better time in the long run.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your emotional satisfaction may not be noticeable by most of those around you today. Oddly enough, you can be very happy without your friends or co-workers having any knowledge of your personal world. Meanwhile, a partner or family member comes to the rescue by being able to see a different side of the story. Letting your joy overflow opens other avenues of communication which are easily expressed within a more private and personal venue.

DO YOU KNOW YOUR ANIMAL TOTEMS?

The following is from Animal Speak by Ted Andrews

Begin the process of discovering your animal totems by examining the animals you
have been most interested in & the times of your life that interest was piqued.
Use the following questions to help determine which animals are probably totems
to you in your life.

1. Which animal or bird has always fascinated you? (We are drawn to that which
most resonates with us. Those animals which fascinate us have something to teach
us.)

2. When you visit the zoo, which animal do you wish to visit the most or first?
(esp. children)

3. What animal(s) do you see most frequently when you are out in nature? Have
you had encounters with animals in the wild? (The animals we encounter, in their
city environments or in the wild, have significance for us. We can learn from
them, even if only about survival within that environment.)

4. Of all the animals in the world, which are you most interested in now? (Our
interests in animals change. Yes, we usually have one or two that are lifetime,
power animals, but others become prominent when there is something importance or
specific to teach us.)

5. What animal most frightens you? (That which we fear the most is often
something we must learn to come to terms with. When we do that, it then becomes
a power. Some shamans believe that fears will take the shape of animals, and
only when we confront them without fear do their powers/medicine work for us
instead of against us. Such an animal become a shadow totem.)

6. Have you ever been bitten or attacked by an animal? (Historically, if a
shaman survived an attack, it was believed that the animal was the shaman’s
spirit totem and the attack was the totem’s way of testing the shaman’s ability
to handle the power.)

7. Do you have dreams with animals in them or are there animal dreams you have
never forgotten? (This is especially important if the dreams are recurring or if
at least the animal image in the dream is a recurring one. Children often dream
of animals, & attention should be given to these animals. They will often
reflect specific spirit totems of the child.)

How to Discover Your Guide:

One way of starting to discover your animal guides by examining the animals you
have been most interested in and the times of your life that interest was
piqued. Also examine the animals that have appeared in your dreams or in your
everyday life, especially the ones that have appeared over and over and at odd
times. The following questions can help you determine which animals might be
guides in your life. Has a specific creature or specific creatures, be it
animal, bird, reptile, Amphibian, insect or mythological beast, always
fascinated you? We are drawn to that which most resonates with us. Those
animals, which fascinate us or the ones that we fear the most, have something to
teach us. Animal guides are not always those that we have the most similarities
with. Often they are in our lives to help us learn what we are lacking. When you
visit the zoo, which animal do you wish to visit first? This is especially true
with children and this question is easy for them to answer since they are often
more receptive than teens or adults. What animal or animals do you see most
frequently when you are out in nature? The animals we encounter in their city or
wild environments have significance for us. We can learn from them about
survival within their environment and often much more. Of all the creatures,
which are you most interested in now? Our interests in animals change. Yes, we
usually have one or two that are lifetime power animals, but others become
prominent in our lives when there is something of importance to learn from them.
Do any animals frighten you? That which we fear is often something we must learn
to come to terms with. When we do that, the fears then become power. Some
Shamans believe that fears will take the shape of animals, and only when we
confront them without fear do their powers/medicine work for us instead of
against us. Such an animal then becomes a shadow totem. Have you ever been
attacked or badly wounded by an animal? Historically, if a Shaman survived
an attack, it was believed that the animal was the Shaman’s spirit totem and the
attack was the totem’s way of testing the Shaman’s ability to understand and
handle its power. Do you have dreams with animals in them or are there animal
dreams you have never forgotten? This is especially important if the dreams are
recurring or if a specific animal image keeps popping up in your dreams.
Children often dream of animals and attention should be given to these animals.
They will often reflect specific animal guides of the child or areas of weakness
where the parents can help in their child’s growth.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, August 19th

We return to reality as the Moon enters sensible Taurus at 8:36 am EDT. Instead of getting excited about starting a new activity, we are finally able to slow down. Without too many distractions now we can easily sink into our current feelings and enjoy ourselves. And although beautiful Venus aligns with unconventional Uranus late tonight, stirring up eclectic desires, the Taurus Moon reminds us of the importance of getting back to basics.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be concerned that yesterday’s excitement has passed, but now it’s time to settle your energy to sustain the progress you already started. However, you need to be careful, for you can get so caught up in what you want that you forget about respecting sensible limits. If you start to obsess about a person or a thing, take it as a sign that it’s time to stop pushing so hard.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon returns to your sign this morning, enabling you to simplify your life. However, you may feel so lazy that you let the day slip by without getting much accomplished. Fortunately, your senses are sharp and your conclusions are logical, but you still could make a mistake by giving an idea or a person the benefit of the doubt. Everything is not always perfect; processing negative feelings may require courage, but can also lead to deeper intimacy.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your clever words make it seem as if you are completely engaged in an interaction, but your witty repartee is likely hiding your emotions. Although you may believe that limited disclosure is a wise strategy today, whatever you don’t say can have just as much impact as what is discussed. Instead of laughing off an intense feeling, try to express what is truly in your heart.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may receive sufficient support from your friends and co-workers today, but there could be unspoken demands that come along with their help. There are emotional undertones to everything that happens now and you might be expected to return a favor even if you never were told that was part of the deal. But don’t let your annoyance turn into resentment; be upfront and express yourself clearly from the start.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might struggle today as you try to rein in your emotions so you don’t get distracted through the first part of the day. Your heart may be on fire with romantic urges when the Moon harmonizes with sensual Venus in your sign, but it seems that expressing your desires isn’t in the cards right now. Instead of assuming that you’ll get what you want later, it’s much healthier to simply accept the current situation for what it is without clinging to any additional expectations.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You don’t want to get overly involved in a friend’s melodrama today, but you may be drawn into it anyhow. Fortunately, your ability to be a good listener is augmented by maintaining your cool objectivity. Your practical approach is probably exactly what is required to smooth someone else’s ruffled feathers. Your own needs might have to take a back seat while you help out someone you love.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your friends set a lovely example by showing their affection and respect for you. However, upon closer scrutiny, everything isn’t as it seems. Feelings that haven’t been shared might be lurking just beneath the surface today, adding a sense of apprehension to your interactions with others. Don’t let a little miscommunication become a big deal. Requesting immediate clarification helps prevent you from reading more into a situation than is actually there.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s visit to your 7th House of Relationships can prompt you to reveal more than you intend as she charms her way into a flowing trine with secretive Pluto in your 3rd House of Communication. You might think that sharing your current worries with a trusted friend will assuage your fears. However, nearly anything you say now can turn your best of intentions into an emotionally intense conversation. You may regret expressing your feelings at first, but the outcome will likely be extremely worthwhile.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you may truly believe that any difficulty can be handled if you have the right attitude, your theory will likely be tested today. Fortunately, a volatile emotional conflict won’t create any long-term problems, but it could wreak havoc on your stress levels for a while. Maintain a healthy perspective on your feelings by continuing with your regular daily schedule. Your rattled nerves should be calmer tomorrow.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It isn’t your preference to stop what you’re currently doing to dig into an emotional issue that doesn’t seem to have an immediate impact on your day. Nevertheless, your subconscious mind might be sending you signals that warp your perceptions today just enough to throw a conversation off course. It’s smarter to get to the source of the problem before it becomes even more complicated by your denial.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

An attractive friend or lover may be sweet toward you today, tempting you to lower your guard. Normally, you would happily comply, but he or she might have a hidden agenda now, making this a tricky transition. Don’t isolate yourself from those you like. Continue listening but also pay attention to what isn’t being said, because the hidden information holds more sway over your day than what’s actually shared.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your methodical approach to your work today can make the difference between a low production day and one that’s off the charts. You may feel as if other people are trying to bring you down or impede your progress on the job. But even if this is true now, you may not be able to address the problem directly. Instead, keep shining your light by taking the high road. The external resistance will eventually fade if you can avoid empowering it with your negativity.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, August 18th

Today’s Moon in fiery Aries is now past yesterday’s stressful aspects and harmoniously trines chatty Mercury this afternoon, and the Sun and sweet Venus late tonight. We feel freer to express ourselves in a playful manner and we don’t need to be overly worried about the consequences of our behavior. Creative endeavors are enhanced by a supportive sextile from energetic Mars to optimistic Jupiter, encouraging us to try without concern of failure.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The Moon’s current visit to your sign reflects your desire to express your feelings, even if they’re not fully supported by your current relationship situation. Fortunately, saying what’s on your mind won’t polarize an otherwise amicable partnership; sharing your emotions will only draw you closer. Remember, your message might not be as unexpected as you think. Ultimately, it’s your delivery style that will make the difference between rough waters and smooth sailing ahead.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may think that you’re being practical today, but you can take a good idea way too far before you realize what happened. Even if you agree that caution makes more sense than just charging ahead, your reactions are irrepressible now that the Moon is in impulsive Aries. Your best strategy is to observe your responses to the current circumstances, but don’t share your feelings with others until you have time to process them on your own.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your life is on an upswing now, and you’re probably seeing the positive effects of your rising self-confidence. You may be more inclined than usual to talk about your feelings with your friends and associates, without giving much thought to what you’re actually saying. Don’t reactivate yesterday’s drama; an easygoing approach that focuses on the present moment enables others to meet you on a new and more equal playing field.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are a reluctant leader today, stepping into the spotlight because no one else can or will. Thankfully, you intuitively know what to say and when to say it, even if you don’t have a solid plan at first. However, your actions might stir resistance from someone who believes that you shouldn’t succeed at the expense of others. Be smart; instead of engaging in an adversarial relationship, change the rules so that everyone becomes a winner.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be so excited about one of your ideas that you put extra effort into convincing others to sign on to your agenda today. Although the truth may be obvious to you, it’s hard to understand why there are so many variations of it. If you believe that your approach is the only right way, everything you attempt will be challenged. Instead of wasting time fighting with shadows now, embrace all the different paths that can ultimately lead to your desired destination.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The intensity of your emotional interactions deepens now with the Moon in your 8th House of Intimacy pulling you into new territory. You may be eager to explore these worlds at first, but uncomfortable insecurities about your self-worth might arise once you sink into the richness of your feelings. Avoid the temptation to escape from your current vulnerability; instead, confront your issues and talk about what scares you the most.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The independent Aries Moon’s visit to your 7th House of Companions reflects your desire to stand separate from a relationship. You are usually quite willing to make your partner feel comfortable by putting your personal needs second. However, today it’s your turn to be first. It isn’t selfish to take care of yourself, for you have more energy to give to others when you are truly satisfied, too.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are trying to create healthy new routines for yourself with the Moon now activating your 6th House of Habits, but it’s challenging to change established patterns. It’s as if the weight of the past is leaning heavily on the present moment, restricting the potential of the future. Take the focus off your personal life and concentrate on the bigger picture, instead. This simple shift of your frame of reference can lighten your spirit enough to free you from an old habit or outdated outlook.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

A positive Mars-Jupiter alignment could have everything coming up roses today. The Moon’s current visit to fellow Fire sign Aries and your 5th House of Play indicates a rise in the quantity and quality of good times. You’re not likely to get too lost in your thoughts, yet you can enjoy dreaming about your future now. Remain open to change and don’t resist if someone shows you a different way to have fun.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your internal dilemma now is about living with your newfound need to be spontaneous, while also honoring your natural tendency to be cool and calculating. You are highly motivated to push the edges of the envelope today, yet your desire to do things right also serves to gain you recognition from your peers. Don’t be too quick to swing into action on this paradoxical day.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

There’s a lot going on in your life now, and you might not want to partake in an event that you previously agreed to a while back. Unfortunately, there may not be a simple way to back out of your commitment now, even if your priorities have changed. Instead of trying to fit into someone else’s routine, politely decline and do what makes you feel good, instead. Fortunately, you should be able to get away with switching your plans without offending anyone else.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Rather than walking away from a creative project or lazily doing nothing, make it your goal today to improve upon something that you have already started. The Moon’s visit into your 2nd House of Finances may reveal a bit of fiscal instability, but immediate action can prevent the situation from spinning out of control. Just remember that reviewing your options doesn’t mean that you also need to reinvent the wheel now to make progress.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, August 16th

The extroverted Leo energy is intense today as a triple conjunction of talkative Mercury, charming Venus and the Sun focuses our attention on having a good time. But it’s not all fun and games because retrograde Mercury forms an anxious semisquare with active Mars, tempting us to suppress our anger and deny any negative feelings. The sensitive Pisces Moon drives our unexpressed emotions deeper until she bolts into courageous Aries at 8:01 pm EDT.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you may have the chance to be around people you really like today, you still can feel the pressure to finish your chores before you go looking for fun. Unfortunately, friends can distract you from your work because you want to join them in their activities. However, it’s not wise to upset your regular routine, even if you wish to shake things up. Keep your current dissatisfaction to yourself and mind your responsibilities for now.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may have a clear idea of what you want to do today to take care of your personal needs. You could even believe that any deviation from your plan means that you won’t be happy, but this faulty thinking is far from the truth. You might be a bit emotionally disoriented now, so don’t worry if the day unfolds differently than you imagined. Instead of being stuck in your comfort zone, be flexible enough to try new things.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Even if everything appears fine, you might feel unsettled today because your schedule doesn’t leave much room for any relaxation. You are not required to let other people’s troubles hijack your day. Keep in mind that it’s entirely possible to enjoy yourself while still being emotionally responsive to those you love. Your versatility and quick wit enable you to gracefully step away from the situation.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are ready for an easy day at the office or at home, but you probably won’t be able to avoid the spotlight anyhow with the current planetary pile-up in dramatic Leo. Ironically, trying to recede into the shadows only brings more attention to you today. Thankfully, you will appreciate the love and support you receive once you stop resisting. There’s nothing wrong with needing time alone to recharge your emotional batteries, but coming out from behind your shell now will do your heart good.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may have to reconsider your relationship with a close friend or business partner, especially when it comes to money. Your urgent need to iron out the details of a financial arrangement can be complicated by a lack of information or a misunderstanding of each other’s assumptions. Even if you want closure today, it may be smarter to leave things open-ended for now.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The overwhelming uncertainty of your life could overtake your confidence today. But you are quite capable of covering the anxiety you are feeling now because your key planet Mercury conjuncts gracious Venus in your 12th House of Secrets. Fortunately, what you lose to unclear thinking, you gain in charm, creativity and charisma.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Ask for what you want today and you just might receive it as clever Mercury conjuncts your key planet Venus, enabling you to be quite convincing. But you may have to risk a little emotional security to be heard, since your attitude is softened by sweet Venus. Be as specific as possible in your request; the more details you supply, the better your chances are of success.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might misread someone’s intentions today and turn an insignificant comment into an important event. You could even set your eyes on new objectives at work. Part of your problem is that your perspective is so distorted now that it’s challenging to stay unconfused. It may be smarter to wait a day or two before you respond in order to see what happens.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your anxiety stems from too many people requesting more information from you than you currently have. But you won’t be able to get away with just making something up on the spot today, for your colleagues will know immediately that you are hiding something. It helps to be honest; share the plain and simple facts to the best of your knowledge and freely admit the limits of your knowledge.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your plans may fall apart today as the details begin to unravel. Hopefully you can see this problem as a positive experience because you are receiving an advanced warning that your ideas need more work. Don’t try to force the issue and glue everything back together. Instead, rethink your strategy a day or two before taking corrective action.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s nearly impossible to know how to respond to someone’s overdramatic presentation today. You want to help, but you’re afraid that if you dig too deeply, you might uncover something that you wish you didn’t know. However, if you don’t investigate at all, then you won’t have all the facts you need to make a big decision. Ultimately, when the answer finally comes, be ready for a surprise, for it may not be what you expect.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you may be very sure of a recent decision, it becomes apparent today that you would be wise to reconsider your not-as-final-as-you-thought answer. Be careful about placing your trust in your instincts now because a flash of apparent inspiration could steer you in the entirely wrong direction. But even if you see your path clearly, check your logic with a close friend or partner.

Your Horoscopes for Monday, August 15th

Today’s psychic Pisces Moon helps break down unnecessary boundaries that exist between all of us. We are culturally trained to place undue significance on whatever separates us from each other, rather than focusing on the common ground that connects us. But it’s not easy to soften our defenses because the Sun and Venus form otherworldly septiles with permissive Jupiter and restrictive Saturn, making us more susceptible now to the whims of fate.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might get into an argument with an overly dramatic friend today if you believe that he or she is keeping something hidden from you. However, you could easily turn an unimportant oversight or a simple misunderstanding into a full-blown crisis because of your concern about being left out of the picture. Remember, there’s no reason to expect everyone to always include you, especially if you are usually quick to be so independent.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might be unsuccessful in your attempts to control the mysterious energies that are turning your day upside down. You’re tempted to blame the instability on your friends, but their lack of follow-through isn’t the real problem. You would be wise to own up to your role in manifesting the chaos you need to heighten your creative expression. Don’t assume that you know how others will act; take responsibility for your part alone.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your conversations are muddled today and to make matters worse, other people can easily misinterpret your actions. Don’t judge anyone harshly if they mess up, for your behavior is probably sending ambiguous signals, even if you think that you’re being straightforward. It’s not worth starting a fight about something that will seem ridiculous later in the week.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your emotions flow more freely today, allowing something to happen that catches you completely off guard. It’s not that you’re unaccustomed to sudden shifts in your life; it’s just that you weren’t expecting this one at all. Thankfully, there’s nothing to be gained by going back over the past to analyze what you could have done differently. Just react from your heart in real time to handle the current situation the best you can.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may have to confront a difficult dilemma today, but the circumstances are more complicated than they seem. Your loss of perspective adds to the complexity as you try to figure out what to do. Moving away from the center of the storm helps you make more accurate observations about what’s actually happening now, prior to choosing a new course of action.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your interactions with others are overly complicated today, especially if no one seems to be playing according to the rules. Unfortunately, you might not understand everyone’s behavior until you take the time to listen to what is being said. However, your discussions must move beyond any surface disagreements for them to have any value, so don’t get distracted by the apparent differences of opinion.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your energy may be scattered today, making it even more difficult to finish your tasks on the job and your chores at home. You might not be too concerned that you’re less productive now; nevertheless, others could be relying on you. Don’t downplay the role that you have in the lives of friends and acquaintances. Remember, if you promised to do something, make sure you honor your commitment.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

There is something very strange going on today with respect to a current relationship being revitalized or a sudden attraction to a new one. Either way, it is time to remove your rose-colored glasses before something crucial happens, rather than after it. Keep in mind that it’s essential to see things as they are now and not how you want them to be.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

A family squabble might require some of your mindshare today, but others appear to be more concerned about the outcome than you are. Your lack of involvement can confuse them, especially if they think you don’t care. However, you just may be uncertain about your position so far. Instead of saying nothing and letting everyone draw their own conclusions, express your concern, while still reserving your judgment until you have more facts.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be very busy at home, but you might not even realize how packed your workweek is. Avoid scattering your energy; you cannot suddenly finish everything all at once. It’s smarter now to counterbalance the current hectic pace with a calm and methodical approach. Don’t bother trying to figure anything out; just remember that it’s a gift to be simple.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may face resistance from friends and colleagues who believe that your current strategy is not a very good one. You don’t mind a bit of healthy sparring, even if someone cajoles you into seeing things from a different perspective. But you’re not as easygoing once you realize that your opponent is not giving up. You are able to heed good advice, but aren’t interested in anyone making critical decisions for you or telling you what to do. Graciously accept the constructive feedback, and then follow your heart.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You cannot hide your feelings easily today because the Moon in your fishy sign brings your moods up to the surface and right out in the open. A close friend might not like what he or she sees now and could unexpectedly morph from an ally into an adversary. Fortunately, you have the strength to handle this tricky situation by acknowledging the criticism without being overly defensive, thereby defusing a possible conflict before it even happens.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, August 14th

The intellectual Aquarius Moon joins fuzzy Neptune this morning, fogging perceptions and tempting us to make up the facts as we go along. The Moon drifts into dreamy Pisces at 8:54 am EDT, softening the edges of reality and further coaxing us to fill in missing details with our overactive imaginations. Instead of seeing things objectively now, we see the world through the filters of familiar fantasies and fears, making it tough to find the truth.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s challenging to stay within your own limits today, especially if someone sends you mixed messages. It may seem as if a friend is flirting with you one minute and ignoring you the next. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you really want, but be prepared to receive a cool reality check if you need it. There may be more going on within your imagination than you realize.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be confused about what you’re supposed to be doing today because you don’t know whether to help out at home or volunteer at a community event. Either way, your highest ideals are stimulated, but you might think that you’ve failed before you start because it’s impossible for you to live up to your expectations now. Additionally, Mercury’s retrograde could enable you to rush and miss the meaning, so slow down and be gentle with yourself.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s difficult for you to concentrate today because the Moon opposes your key planet Mercury and then slips into otherworldly Pisces. You may feel as if you’re being pulled in opposite directions as you try to tell others about your cool, new idea. The more you try to narrow your focus, the further off track you go. But don’t totally surrender to your fantasies, either. Your best strategy is to go with the flow for a short while before returning to your work in the real world.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your dreams may be so big now that they don’t go away when you wake up and start your day. Don’t try to be overly concrete since you could be riding a creative high. Do your best to capture this magical buzz to make something beautiful. So if you must be accurate in your reporting of details, tell others that it may take you a few days before you have all your facts in order.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may not be ready to express your desires today, but your caution doesn’t mean that you are uncertain. You just want more time for everything to settle down so you can decide how much to say. Until your mental clarity returns, it’s best now to err on the side of sharing less. You can always tell the rest of the story later when the moment is right.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It appears that your friends and coworkers have grown wishy-washy, resisting your requests to be more specific about their feelings. It seems as if everyone stops just short of what needs to be said. You’re stymied and may not even be able to respond to what’s happening. Instead of making someone angry by asking more questions, wait a couple of days before searching for answers again.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be enchanted by your dreams of fame and love, yet these wishes appear to disintegrate like a mirage when you reach out to touch them. Although your most unrealistic hopes can crumble before your eyes, don’t buy into the dissolution of your fantasies. Continue to hold on to your vision of the ideal future. The current uncertainty will pass and you’ll be able to regain your creative edge.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your soft and gentle approach might seem a bit out of character, but a deep desire to connect now flows from your newfound sense of vulnerability. Fortunately, you don’t mind being seen in this state, yet self-protective fears still encourage you to maintain an emotional wall between you and others. Keep in mind that you might be misunderstood today, so remember to take extra time to explain yourself as clearly as possible.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You aren’t expressing yourself openly these days, but this isn’t about intentionally withholding information from those who should have it. Your motives are likely quite simple now, yet language can get in the way to complicate matters. Instead of trying to explain everything you want to do, just tell everyone that you need a couple of days to sort yourself out. If at all possible, don’t get into it with anybody until after tomorrow.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You won’t be able to avoid the drama today as your practical outlook helps you make it through the bumpy roads of interaction, only to run into an abrupt ending of the highway. You have no choice but to continue on your path, even if there are blocks in the road. Don’t worry; you won’t have to turn back around. For now, just do the best you can to keep inching forward.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You could run into an unexpected situation today that stems from your current financial condition. Even if you believe that you’re in good fiscal shape, it might become apparent that you overlooked a small detail that now could become problematic. Unfortunately, no outside help will arrive to magically bail you out in the nick of time. Even if you must dig yourself out of trouble on your own, take heart because you’re not alone.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s move into your sign this morning allows you to share your feelings without becoming overly emotional. You don’t have to say a lot now and that’s okay because your inner world is in such turmoil. Fortunately, others know what you’re feeling before you even open your mouth. And when you start talking, your poetic speech can mesmerize everyone before they even know what hit them. Use your intuition wisely; don’t squander your gift on meaningless chatter.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, Aug. 13th

A quirky Aquarius Full Moon at 2:57 pm EDT sparks our awareness with ingenious solutions to an existing dilemma. The Moon opposes the heart-centered Leo Sun, reminding us that a bit of emotional distance can prevent over-personalizing a situation. But quick resolution may be elusive because the Sun, Moon and Venus all form anxious aspects with passionate Pluto. Although we can fix our problems in theory, our plans still may run into resistance.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You want to tell others your opinion today, even if you think that it will stir up resistance. You may not be concerned about what anyone else thinks now because you’re pretty certain that your perspective is the right one. Although your plan could work just fine, your words might sound more belligerent than you actually feel. Gain the support you seek by toning down your message and acknowledging the validity of an alternate approach.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your unwavering commitment to accomplish a task can prompt you to do things your own way at any cost, turning a positive attribute into a negative one. Your determination is admirable, but you can be so stubborn today that those closest to you wonder why you are sabotaging your own possible success. Unfortunately, your plan might be in jeopardy without the cooperation of your friends. Your blind optimism could prevent you from seeing things objectively, so be open to the advice others have to offer.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Maintaining an optimistic perspective about a current project is not easy now. You’re tempted to overinflate an idea which turns it into a less useful one. Today’s Aquarius Full Moon in your 9th House of Adventure inspires you to dream about the amazing possibilities ahead, rather than concentrating on the present moment. If you drift off into daydreams about the future, gently bring your thoughts back to the specific tasks at hand.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Today’s Full Moon overwhelms your 8th House of Shared Resources with brilliant ideas, raising issues around jointly held possessions or investments. Someone’s appeal to your egalitarian principles can provoke enough guilt so you lessen your demands. However, it’s healthier for you to be an equal partner now, rather than being subservient in any way. Don’t just say yes to make another person feel better, because your self-esteem may suffer if you do.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Today’s Full Moon illuminates your 7th House of Others, possibly reactivating an unresolved relationship issue. If you are experiencing difficulties in love, this lunation’s cool logic can offer a powerful opportunity to heal. Reframing a past relationship in a new light changes your perspective and frees you to be more fully alive in every moment.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The conceptual Aquarius Full Moon falls in your 6th House of Details, tempting you to lean on your analytical skills to solve a current problem. However, you may be so logical that you cannot feel the emotional warmth coming your way now. Although you think you’re listening carefully, you might not be able to pick up other people’s messages unless they come in on your exact frequency. Opening your mind to new channels of communication today can teach you a very important lesson.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your creativity may be erratic today with the Full Moon brightening your 5th House of Self-Expression, yet you could put on a brilliant performance if you don’t try to control the process. A smart strategy is to have a variety of things to keep you busy while you’re waiting for the muse to visit. Meanwhile, stay open to riding a creative wave if it comes along, but don’t be hard on yourself if nothing extraordinary happens.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Today’s Full Moon stretches you between your personal and professional goals. Although you may feel as if something could suddenly give way, your determination to restore balance to your life should override any emotional upset, even if the stress seems overwhelming at first. But denying your feelings isn’t wise either, for they can lead you to an important lesson. In the meantime, focus on the present and reestablish your priorities.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

This is a rather intense Full Moon because it opposes the dramatic Leo Sun in your 9th House of Philosophy, reactivating a familiar theme in your life. You are aware that your wanderlust makes it difficult to follow through on existing commitments. Although you might be frustrated by your current limitations, you can improve your life by simply acknowledging your adventurous desires while simultaneously managing the circumstances of your immediate environment. Be creative in everything you do.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your current financial condition could be rather unstable, for today’s unconventional Aquarius Full Moon stresses your 2nd House of Money. Maybe you discover that your cash on hand is less than you thought or, perhaps, your bills are greater than previously calculated. Either way, don’t try to avoid an issue that arises now, because handling it intelligently is much better than putting it off, even if you don’t have a final solution.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Today’s Full Moon in your sign indicates that sweeping changes are necessary to get your life back on track. However, you won’t need to put too much effort into solidifying your plans because unexpected events will likely require you to adapt to other people’s schedules anyway. It takes courage to be flexible now instead of rigidly sticking to an old agenda that no longer works. Although this might be an exercise in cooperation, don’t lose yourself in the process.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You yearn for more meaning to your life because events at work continue to require an increasing amount of your attention. Your friends and colleagues may not even notice that you’re struggling as you reassess your goals, and it’s probably better to leave them out of your current dilemma. But this isn’t about escaping from your routine; it’s about developing a more spiritual approach to everything you do.

New Moon Report for August 13th – Full Moon in Aquarius

Full Moon in Aquarius

Saturday, August 13, 11:57 am PDT, 2:57 pm EDT

The Full Moon in Aquarius represents a time when we can step outside of ourselves to see a more global picture of reality. Its opposition to the Sun, Mercury and Venus in self-conscious Leo gives us the choice of falling into infantile patterns or recognizing that there are at least two sides to every story. This is an opportunity to express Leo’s heartfelt warmth without burning others with an overheated need to dominate, but rather to engage in shared experiences that honor the uniqueness of everyone.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, August 12th

The Moon shifted into intelligent Aquarius last night at 11:47 pm EDT, separating our thoughts from our emotions and prompting us to break free of routines that are no longer of value. The Sun’s early morning sesquisquare to radical Uranus sparks our nervous system with inventive ideas. Later in the evening, romantic Venus forms the same aspect to Uranus, further detaching us from our feelings. However, rebellious behavior can lead to arguments.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

If you haven’t been able to express your annoyance, it could build into outright anger today. However, you might not have a single target for your frustration. Instead, you might feel as if you’re itching for a fight. Unfortunately, you’re probably just projecting your emotional discomfort onto someone else. Of course, it’s better to seek the source of the negativity within. Once you locate it, you will be able to shift your attitude and be more positive in your interactions with others.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be obstinate today without even realizing how fixed you are in your mindset. You think that you’re being objective, but your desire to hold on to your emotional security is warping your perspective. The truth is that your personal life may not be as stable as you believe. Something needs to change; embrace the unknown because you’ll feel better if you allow the shift to happen without resisting it.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may think that you have your schedule under control, but it’s actually your schedule that is controlling you. Even if you try to keep up with the busy day that you’ve created, you might reach a point where you suddenly realize that you’re spinning too many wheels without having the time to enjoy anything that you’re doing. Unfortunately, there’s no one to blame but yourself. Thankfully, taking charge of your life by cutting back on a few activities can change everything for the better.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s difficult to express how you feel today because you may be afraid that once you share what you want, you won’t be able to control what happens next. It’s easy to become excited about the possibilities of having your needs met, but the thought of being rejected — or even worse, ignored — can freeze you into inaction. Don’t try to reveal too much all at once; a little vulnerability now will go a long way.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

A unique individual could catch your attention and distract you from your previously scheduled agenda. You might not be able to maintain your perspective as you become enthralled with someone’s freewheeling originality. However, you will be better off if you can acknowledge your excitement without changing your course until you fulfill your previous commitments.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You probably won’t be as efficient as you wish now, especially if you decide to experiment with your approach to your regular job. You usually prefer sticking to your routine, but now boredom may prompt you to try a new method instead of doing the same old thing. However, there’s a very small chance that you could invent a smarter way to do your work, but it’s much more likely that your radical behavior will only add to your workload. It’s better to stick to the tried and true today for optimum efficiency.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Impulsive behavior can lead to trouble today if you take a risk just to have more fun. It may seem that it’s more important to enjoy yourself and be creative in the moment than it is to do what’s expected of you now. Someone else may try to convince you that you’re not making the best choice if you emphasize your needs over your responsibilities. Listen to good advice when you hear it. Don’t blow off your obligations; you’ll be happier in the long run if you save your playtime until your work is finished.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might feel just as uncomfortable today at home as you do at the office, but there isn’t any other place for you to go where you feel needed. You may want to hide because it seems that you’re not accepted now as a part of your family or your team at work. However, retreat really isn’t necessary; simply tone down your rhetoric. Once you begin managing the intensity of your words and actions, others will once again reach out to you.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You have quite a bit to say today and you’re eager to express it in your own bold way, even if you haven’t critically thought about your current ideas. Unfortunately, your inability to keep everything in perspective now can turn a relatively simple day into a very complex one. Remind yourself of your current goals before going out on a limb unnecessarily. A few moments of reconsideration may be enough to keep you on track.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are usually relieved when others come out and say what they’re thinking, rather than clamming up and pretending that everything is just fine. Passive-aggressive behavior makes you uncomfortable because it’s harder to figure out what’s really happening. Tough situations are not a problem because you can manage nearly anything today, as long as you know the deal. Nevertheless, you might have to wait a day or two until you have all the information you need to make a final decision.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon’s return to your sign enables you to express your quirkiness without as much reservation as usual. Nevertheless, your friends and associates may not be as happy about your eccentric behavior as you are now. Although you might choose to block out someone else’s criticism or negative judgment, it’s healthier to remain open to constructive feedback. If support from others is lacking now, rest assured that it will begin to return after tomorrow’s Full Moon.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may not feel very outgoing today, but you have a lot to say anyway. Quietly meditating or taking a short escape into the magic of your own fantasies can soothe your ruffled energies. However, even if you slip away from the outer turmoil by vanishing into your dreams for a while, reality will be waiting for you when you return. Sooner or later, you’ll need to face the music.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, August 11th

The serious Capricorn Moon fills our minds with thoughts of success, yet today’s early morning Mars-Pluto opposition may still have us locked in a power struggle where no one will win. A conflict can escalate due to a misunderstanding because retrograde Mercury forms an argumentative semisquare with authoritative Saturn. Thankfully, original thinking can precipitate a sudden resolution, prompted by an intelligent Mercury-Uranus alignment.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may have to take a stand against a rather formidable person, but today it’s you who is the tougher cookie. Unfortunately, you might not be aware that you could hurt someone’s feelings because you are so determined to reach your goals. Nevertheless, you would be more effective if you didn’t push so hard. Soften your approach and consider how others may react before doing something you’ll regret.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Naturally, you want to follow through on your commitments, even if your schedule suddenly changes because of unforeseen circumstances. Unfortunately, other people don’t seem to have the same level of integrity and you may become angry with someone who falls short of their promises. Instead of adding to the drama today, be as compassionate as possible, shift your focus to finishing your own work and don’t be too judgmental of anyone else.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your thoughts and emotions don’t mix well today. You may try to manage your desires in order to fit in socially, but you could grow resentful if you don’t say what you feel. Unfortunately, knowing what’s best doesn’t always mean that you will do the right thing. Instead of acting too quickly, think about the consequences of your actions before blindly following your impulses. You might feel differently tomorrow.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be upset today if someone promises one thing yet does another. However, you might withhold your feelings because you don’t fully understand what’s going on. It’s extra challenging if you cannot trust your senses, especially if others are sending mixed messages. Accept your dilemma as a temporary situation that will soon fade, for attempts to end a conflict now will only increase your frustration.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You quickly tire of a melodrama that reignites today, but this time it’s different because the crisis has passed its peak and you feel strong enough to handle it. Nevertheless, you still must show up and combat the threat with a concerted effort or it could reappear again sometime soon. Respond to the current situation with compassion rather than animosity to help everything return to normal as quickly as possible.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be amazed by how fast you respond to a difficult situation today. Normally, you would prefer to gather facts and then take some time to think about your options before swinging into action. But there isn’t enough time for such a rational approach now, so you must immediately process what is happening and use your intuition to reach a conclusion. Don’t hesitate to react without your safety net of logic because any delay lessens your current chances of success.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Family dynamics weigh on your mind today, possibly preventing you from doing what you want. You may be tempted to walk away from the domestic drama, but you might be under pressure to increase your involvement. Unfortunately, losing your temper is easy now, but won’t help your cause. Instead, consider what can be done to settle the tension. Your innate ability to understand both sides of an issue enables you to be gracious in how you handle this tricky situation.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are determined to stay on track today as you push to reach your goals, even if you would rather withdraw for some precious time alone. But solitude might not be in your immediate future, even if it’s high on your personal agenda. Being flexible is more important than sticking to your plan, since it’s impossible to know where an interaction with a colleague might lead as emotions heat up. It’s not necessary to win an argument now; it’s wiser to set a course based on compromise.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s frustrating if you crave something but can’t afford to buy it. Maybe you want your partner or friend to rescue you now. But instead of getting angry when others don’t come to your aid, try a radically different approach to find satisfaction. Letting go is your best bet today, but this tactic requires some real soul-searching to detach your happiness from the current object of your desire.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Mars’ opposition to passionate Pluto in your sign dredges up intense feelings about someone or something standing in your way. Even if you are determined to reach your goals today, you need to be careful about riding roughshod over others to get what you want. The intensity of your current ambitions may create more problems than solutions now, and scaling them back just a bit might be the most sensible thing you can do.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might be unusually ambivalent when asked about your plans today. Whether you’re considering a new path at work or in a relationship, it’s hard to make a commitment now. It isn’t that you don’t care; to the contrary, you care so much that you want to be absolutely certain about your choice. Even if you’re feeling pressure to decide, take a few more days before letting others know.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You don’t mind the idea of working today, but your ideal is far from the reality, prompting you to start planning your secret escape. But you could get into a disagreement with a friend or lover if he or she tries to coerce you into some activity that you would rather skip. Don’t play the role of a martyr by agreeing to drop your plans for someone else’s. Take responsibility for what you want and don’t give in. Prevent problems later on by being very clear right from the start.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, August 10th

This may be an emotionally turbulent day, even with the Moon in stabilizing Capricorn. We would be unwise to underestimate the intensity of the Moon’s square to unruly Uranus, opposition to warrior Mars and conjunction with passionate Pluto. A somber Moon-Saturn square later in the day would normally be sufficient to put a lid on the turmoil, but Mars is moving toward an opposition with Pluto which increases aggression and forceful resistance.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

There may be too much happening today to process everything, especially if you’re hearing conflicting stories. However, you’re not very receptive because you are afraid of being misled by someone else’s agenda, especially when you are on your own mission. It’s tempting to defend your right to maintain your individuality, but there isn’t as much at stake as you think, so pick your battles carefully before jumping into a fight.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may feel as if you’re in the middle of someone else’s struggle today and you don’t want to be distracted by another melodrama. You might consider avoiding the conversation completely, but you realize that you can actually have a positive impact on the situation. You don’t need to come up with a solution and then sell your idea. In fact, all you have to do is listen to both sides of the argument. For now, sufficiently airing an issue could be enough to dissolve the tension.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You want to share your feelings with a trusted friend, but your harmless disclosure could inadvertently elicit an explosive reaction. You understand the necessity of exercising self-restraint today because you can sense the delicate balance of power. However, you’re still not interested in changing your mind now. Unfortunately, your current lack of flexibility might make a difficult situation worse. On the other hand, trying to meet another person halfway could produce mutual benefits.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be feeling an upwelling of anger today, yet it seems more intense than the situation would normally warrant. Although you want to express your frustration, you don’t want to deal with the emotional fallout. Play it cool and sidestep confrontation for now. Or ride your passion and say what’s in your heart no matter what. There’s no right or wrong answer; ultimately, it’s your decision to make.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might not show your feelings today in an attempt to avoid a possible meltdown, as your emotions pull you into the shadows. You are more accustomed to the light, making it challenging for you to figure out what’s currently happening. For now, don’t worry about making your point. It’s more important to concentrate on your emotions and to process them in real time, rather than wasting time explaining yourself to others.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You aren’t happy with the role that your friends have put you in now and you’re not sure how to get out of it. There are no quick and easy solutions to your dilemma, even if you are in touch with the group dynamics at play. You may be tempted to internalize another person’s struggle and treat it as if it were your own. However, it’s smarter to just steer clear of any melodrama that isn’t yours. Don’t worry about disappointing others; they’ll get over it sooner than you think.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Others know that you excel in the department of negotiation, so it’s no surprise that they would call on you for assistance now. As much as you might want to help, you have your own decisions to make today. Nevertheless, there’s still time to practice a bit of shuttle diplomacy, shuffling back and forth between the disagreeing parties. Your success depends on not getting too attached to any of the messages that you deliver.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your two key planets, Mars and Pluto, are pulling in opposite directions, placing you in the middle of an intense tug-of-war. You cannot just express the anger of warrior Mars because unrelenting Pluto will quickly even the score. Unfortunately, you cannot just walk away from the conflict, either. Ultimately, you must be as flexible as you can to get you through this tricky time.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You don’t want to be drawn into an emotional squabble today yet it becomes more difficult to stay neutral, even if you try. You aren’t interested in choosing sides, for this tactic will only fuel an unnecessary conflict that wastes your time. Be an outspoken community member and talk about the pitfalls of supporting fearful negativity. Follow your own brand of spirituality and let your love light shine.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

A relationship may be a major source of stress now as battle lines are drawn, making it harder to remain civil. You might prefer sorting out your differences through cool and calm communication, yet you can easily slip back into engaging in the needless drama. Instead of being forthright and expressing all your feelings today, act judiciously. A little bit of discretion goes a long way to settle everyone’s frazzled nerves.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s not easy to maintain objectivity today, even as you try to see the pros and cons of a co-worker’s plan. You think that you know what’s best and you aren’t afraid to tell everyone who asks. But rather than judging others, you are wiser to clean up your own act first. Making small improvements throughout the next several days is a better idea than wasting time blaming another person for your dilemma.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your friends may think that they’re helping you today, but you believe that their behavior is too controlling. However, it feels awkward to come right out and tell them to back off because that would just alienate your most supportive allies. Still, it may be time to dig in your heels by setting clear personal boundaries that enable you to feel truly independent.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, August 9th

The extroverted Sagittarius Moon prompts dramatic conversations as she harmoniously trines messenger Mercury in expressive Leo. The excitement builds as a rock-and-roll square between assertive Mars and explosive Uranus rattles us with lightning-like shocks of awareness. We must find ways to keep the energy moving or it can suddenly erupt. Thankfully, the Moon’s shift into conservative Capricorn at 4:37 pm EDT should help contain the instability.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may catch someone off guard with the way you exercise your self-determination today as unpredictable Uranus electrifies your ruling planet Mars. Naturally, honesty is your best policy, but your delivery style may be more important now than what you actually say. Don’t state something for the shock value alone or you could lose the trust you gained by telling the truth.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Someone’s erratic behavior could mess up your day and turn your schedule upside down. Fortunately, you’re able to handle the situation today, but you would prefer others to stick to the original plan. Don’t waste your energy worrying about what else could go wrong; instead, concentrate your attention on what you can do now to minimize any additional problems that might arise.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your nervous energy may create a few headaches today, yet there is a simple solution: stay in touch with your own feelings no matter what happens. If you bottle up your emotions they are likely to explode, so get out and move your body instead of sitting around waiting for a meltdown to happen. It’s better to express your feelings in small doses gradually, rather than precipitating a crisis by revealing everything all at once.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself today because you’re embarrassed by what you want. Although you believe that your little secret is safe, you’re probably more transparent than you think. Your closest friends will suspect that you’re holding something back, but they know you well enough not to pry. Thankfully, your current shyness will pass if you can just get over your fears and insecurities. Your smartest strategy is sharing your inner process with a trustworthy friend.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You can be so forthright today that you might shock others. Ironically, your intentions aren’t likely any different than usual, but there’s no reason to hide anything now. Your old defense mechanisms have been worn down and you currently don’t have the strength to build up new ones. Just remember that everyone doesn’t need to know every miniscule detail. Paint your picture in broad strokes for the best effect.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s not easy to find an emotionally safe place to stand today, for you might feel as if your life is out of balance. You believe that you should remain silent and continue to do your job, yet you may be compulsively driven to even an old score. Avoid the temptation to act impulsively because you could do something that is totally out of character. Consider less radical alternatives to express your anger. You’ll be able to keep your dignity intact with a more moderate response.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have entered a very social phase and you would enjoy being around more like-minded people, but you aren’t interested in losing your individuality in the crowd. You might even try to do something that enables you to stand out from everyone else. However, before initiating action that you’ll regret, rethink your motives. Putting yourself in the spotlight may not be as smart a move as it seems in the moment. Be your authentic self and nothing else.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You assume that you know what others expect from you at work, and you want to please them. Unfortunately, you could take on too much now, making it difficult to decide what to do first. Still, you could lose your temper today if someone criticizes how you are doing your job. But instead of overreacting, channel your emotions into the tasks at hand. You are wiser to focus and get as much done as possible than to add to any more drama to the current situation.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may think that you know how to fix a problem in a relationship, yet your solution could make matters even worse now by stirring up unnecessary anxiety. Ironically, your answer may be quite intelligent, but executing your plan falls short of your high expectations. Rushing to the rescue isn’t the smartest strategy now; move slowly and give yourself enough time to consider the alternatives before committing to one path.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You like to lean on conservative tactics when your life gets too crazy. Mechanically going through the motions is one way to buy time while things settle down. Unfortunately, reverting back to your old routine won’t work now because something must change for you to feel satisfied. You may be tempted toward extreme solutions like turning everything upside down all at once. However, taking lots of tiny steps is a much better strategy than attempting one gigantic leap before you’re ready.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You want others to acknowledge your contributions at work today, but this desire for respect may bring more frustration than satisfaction. It’s challenging to stay in touch with your emotions while also fulfilling your responsibilities. It feels as if you can only do one or the other, but not both. Nevertheless, the most practical approach is to keep modifying your actions as needed. Practicing flexibility now is your secret weapon.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You have more on your plate than you can handle today and too many tasks can distract you from finishing anything at all. You might have plans with family or friends that have to be changed unexpectedly due to circumstances that are beyond your control. Even if the situation seems urgent, you still have job-related responsibilities that cannot be ignored. There may not be any quick fixes available; multi-tasking the best you can is your only viable option.

Your Daily Horoscopes for August 8th

Today’s farseeing Sagittarius Moon inspires us to think big while retrograde Mercury skips back into dramatic Leo, encouraging us to deliver our messages with an extra punch. However, the tipsy trickster bumps into a confusing opposition with fuzzy Neptune, repeating this stressful aspect that recently occurred on July 29. We would be wise to pay extra attention to all forms of communication because our good intentions could get lost in the fog.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be the leader of the gossip squad at work today because you can waste time as long as you’re having fun. But you are so quick-witted now that you might say something that shouldn’t be shared. Words slip out of your mouth before you think about their impact. Keep in mind that taking a few breaths before speaking up won’t make you less popular; in fact, slowing down your delivery may be enough to save you from an embarrassing situation.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You appear to be putting in maximum effort on the job, but you can simultaneously lose yourself in your daydreams, even if your double life isn’t noticed by anyone else. Although others cannot tell how far from reality your mind is meandering, they can see that your rich imagination is adding something special to your practical ideas. Don’t hesitate to share your creative point of view, even if it seems unrealistic to you at first.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be at a turning point in a friendship because you need to decide if you’re going to take it to the next level or retreat to emotionally safer ground. Be careful, for you could make a bad choice today if you let your hopes color your perceptions. Postpone any major decisions for a couple of days, if you can. Once your muddled thinking clears, you’ll be able to choose your course of action with more confidence.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s challenging to compare your idealistic dreams with what you currently have in your life. The gulf between your fantasies and reality may be so great now that you don’t even know where to begin. Instead of setting yourself up for failure by aiming too high, try a more modest start. Acknowledging what you’ve already accomplished is better than tearing yourself down with self-criticism. Beginning with a few simple affirmations can give you the positive boost you need.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be basking in the light of admiration today, but you could fool yourself into thinking that everyone is your friend. It isn’t that anyone is necessarily working against you; it’s just that others have their own agendas and it’s crucial for you to understand where they diverge from yours. Don’t waste your breath trying to convince anyone that you’re right. If you can be satisfied with what each person has to offer now, you won’t set yourself up for disappointment.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You could have a tough time staying on track today because you can see fantastic possibilities everywhere you look. Although you know that hard work is key in reaching your goals, your optimism leads you to believe a task will be easier than it is. Still, you are at a fork in the road and you may not know which way to go. Just remember that you are probably missing some crucial facts, so it’s wiser to take the more conservative route, even if it means walking away from the excitement for now.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re a bit of a social butterfly today, flying from one captivating conversation to another. However, this doesn’t mean that you should try to avoid a more pressing subject, even if it leads to unfamiliar territory. You can still clear the air by sharing what’s important to you, but circumvent a passionate discussion for a few days.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

No matter how certain you are of your current choices, it’s not a good idea to trust your senses today because they can easily mislead you. Don’t allow yourself to be lulled into a state of hypnotic acceptance. Even if you’re dreaming of smooth sailing ahead, there are storm clouds on the horizon and you are advised to batten down the hatches while the Sun is still shining. Ironically, a rough patch might be enough of a wake-up call to get you back on course.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s visit to your optimistic sign can raise feelings of nostalgia as you remember a kinder and gentler version of your past. But it’s not smart to believe the stories you tell now because you may have changed the facts to support your current mood. There’s nothing wrong with reviewing your personal history as long as you understand that you can’t live fully in the present moment when you’re clinging too tightly onto memories.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be tempted by an unrealistic fantasy about a relationship now. However, your idealistic dreams can actually stand between you and happier days. Acknowledging your attachment to one particular outcome is a good start if you’re willing to make it less important. There’s no need to go to extremes and deny your preferences if you can maintain a healthy perspective.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Perhaps you thought that you had everything under control, but today you may miss an important piece of the puzzle. Fortunately, it’s not necessary to fix anything if you make a wrong assumption. Becoming more aware of your mistakes is enough for now. Don’t initiate action too quickly or you could stir up a hornet’s nest that leads to an intense power struggle. Your relationships are in flux, so take time to see where things are going before trying to exert too much control.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are an avid dreamer and today’s Mercury-Neptune aspect magnifies your wishful thinking. You can journey so far into the depths of your imagination that you may lose track of what’s going on in the real world. An unexpected event can shock you into awareness, waking you from your contemplative state and confronting you with the truth. It may be very disconcerting at first, but the reality check could be a blessing in disguise.
