Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, Aug. 22nd

Our dreams supply the fuel to turn fantasies into reality as today’s imaginative Pisces Moon aligns with ambitious Saturn. On the other hand, logical Mercury forms anxious aspects with rebellious Uranus and opportunistic Jupiter, encouraging us to break free from routine. However, once the Sun shifts into thoughtful Virgo at 7:01 pm EDT, we are more likely to analyze a situation until we know all the facts than to gamble our future on a whim.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your fantasy world is expanding now as you run each possibility through your imagination. However, no one realizes what you are experiencing because your appearance may remain calm and collected. These little daydreams are yours and yours alone. Stay aware of your feelings while you continue to communicate in a restrained and logical manner. Keep up your normal routine, and you should be able to get away with your inner journeying without anyone getting on your case.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Although important people may enter your life now and energize you, they might also bring a bit of disruption. Stay present when responding to others, for your common sense could actually save the day. Don’t be afraid to say no; trust your instincts even if you have to stir up some muddy waters in the process. Going against the flow today can prevent a relationship from becoming stagnant.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s challenging to get your head and your heart working in sync toward the same goals today. Somehow, it seemed simpler in the past to align with your higher self. However, you can benefit by going back and reassessing your priorities because your careful analysis falls apart in light of strong emotions now coming to the surface. Don’t be so afraid of letting others see who you really are — even with your current eccentricities. Following your dreams allows others to do the same.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You might be overwhelmed by an odd situation today when brainy Mercury aligns with crazy Uranus. You’re tempted to sink into your feelings and nurture someone with all your heart while another voice in your head just wants to break free from all emotional attachments. Although making your escape sounds enticing now, your practical sense of loyalty will likely win out. Find ways to express your wild side without turning your relationships upside down.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have something on your mind and need to get it out into the open; however, you may not be ready to deal with the consequences of your message today. Nevertheless, it could feel as if you’re running out of time to speak your peace. Starting the conversation isn’t easy, but it will only grow more difficult as the day progresses. Don’t wait for a better moment to initiate the discussion. Believe it or not, the time is now.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your key planet Mercury is being rattled by unstable Uranus and opinionated Jupiter now, aggravating a difficult situation in a relationship. Your partner or friend may grow a bit irritable today, which in turn makes your life more complicated. Your best strategy is to allow the people in your life enough room so they can find out what works best for them without worrying about your expectations. Supporting the dreams of others ultimately works in your favor.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A little extra concentration prevents your week from deviating too far off track. Fortunately, you can see how over-committed you are as long as you logically think about your activities. But as soon as you step away from your detached approach, you could fall into the deep well of feelings. Stand back a little bit to get a fresh perspective while reconsidering a new direction.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It seems as if everything at work is about to change and you aren’t sure how to prioritize your goals today. It may feel as if you’re on a roller coaster ride; you’re exhilarated one moment and craving stability the next. But attempts to end the uncertainty will only lead to higher anxiety. Stop resisting that which you cannot control. Thankfully, your path straightens out over the next few days, bringing more structure to your life and paving the way to your future.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your current emotional dilemma is pulling you between home and career. On one hand, you really want to put in the required time to sustain a loving relationship. But, on the other hand, there’s a part of you that only wants to focus on getting ahead at work. Although you might think that you must choose one direction now, an extreme reaction won’t serve you well. There’s no need to panic; thankfully, balancing your personal and professional goals is possible if you budget your time wisely.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s time for you Mountain Goats to take a calculated risk. Normally, you exhibit conservative behavior as your sure-footedness prevents you from making too many mistakes. Paradoxically, a small misjudgment today may actually help you reach your goal. You’re unlikely to request assistance if you think that you have all the answers. However, you’re more likely to ask for what you need if you run into a problem. Listen to the advice you receive; it could make the difference between failure and success.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Last week may have been filled with sudden unplanned changes. Fortunately, you secretly enjoy it when the lightning strikes and things get turned upside down. As if you haven’t been through enough recently, today is a crash course in your learning process. Engage others in intelligent discussions, even if your opinions differ. Encountering new ideas can validate what’s most important to you.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your life seems to be more hectic today because your moods are changing so quickly. The biggest challenges now may come from your personal relationships. Even if your partner seems to be sensible and rational, you might be ready to toss the whole thing out and start over. Don’t move so fast; there’s good stuff to be found beneath the surface. It will just take a while to sort through the noise that is the loudest so you can tune into the sweet music that’s singing your song.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, June 13

Although we want to buzz around today, we’re more conservative in our actions as the flighty Gemini Sun is anchored by its smooth trine to stabilizing Saturn. Meanwhile, the impulsive Aries Moon prompts reckless behavior. Nevertheless, we’re best served by steadily working toward our goals by building structures that will endure the tests of time. Ultimately, it’s easier now to make something real happen, but we still must earn what we receive.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You can feel the adrenaline pumping through your body, but something is still holding you back today. Your inclination is to shut out all the contradictions by closing your eyes and just jumping into the fray. Although the impetuous Aries Moon tempts you to rush dangerously close to the edge, it’s beneficial to think things through before going too far. Exercising self-restraint now is easier than usual and, luckily, works in your favor.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Good ideas are popping into your awareness today, but you cannot follow each one of them to its conclusion. Your smartest strategy is to narrow the field of possibilities now before taking action. It’s silly to waste energy running around from one project to another, even if they are worthwhile. There is a gem in the mixture; your assignment is to find it.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be tougher on yourself than anyone realizes today. In some ways you’re like a stage magician, for others just see what you want them to see. Everyone is fascinated with your hands waving around in the air and the amazing stories you can tell, but they may not understand this show is all to hide the mental juggling act you’re performing behind the curtain. Instead of going to such extreme measures, just take action now to fix what’s wrong.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Everything has grown pretty intense lately, but it’s nearly impossible to tell who’s really in control — and this is part of the problem. Don’t try to outsmart others with your logic, or you could end up tying your emotions into knots that cannot be easily untangled. You will find allies you didn’t know you had if you simply lean toward cooperation now rather than competition.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your actions today should easily produce enduring results without a lot of extra effort. Thankfully, you probably won’t have to wave your flag as much as usual to get others to respond. However, don’t be surprised when they admire your dramatic flair instead of your work. Be humble; the real message is about what you can do now that adds meaning to your life.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re very proud of your work, even if others don’t seem to appreciate what you’re doing. However, you might not feel like you’re making much progress if you start to believe the negative feedback. Thankfully, you have more control of what happens than you realize. Your persistence will be rewarded, so remain focused on your objectives today no matter what anyone else says.

Libra Horoscope

Although your current feelings may be rather complicated, you can learn a lot by exploring them. Fortunately, you’re quite capable when it comes to integrating complex emotions that have been lurking around in your shadowy subconscious. However, you must resist the temptation to leave questions unanswered now just because you are bored. Instead of skipping off to the next intriguing distraction today, stay in one place long enough to satisfy your quest for meaning.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might feel as if you’re in a restrictive box today, but oddly enough you don’t seem to mind. Although you believe that unconventional thinking is your fastest way out of a difficult situation, you’re not at liberty now to act on your thoughts. Ultimately, it’s difficult to decide whether to be rebellious or rational. Others may encourage more radical behavior, but a traditional approach increases your chances for success.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Others tend to take you quite seriously today, even if you’re channeling the weirdest and most eccentric parts of yourself. Fortunately, you get to play both ends of the spectrum, being an unconventional rebel and a disciplined student. Although an impulsive reaction seems like the opposite of a more compulsive approach, you can somehow combine the attributes into a single posture that gets you what you need. Enjoy the balancing game while it lasts.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

A family problem that remains unsolved now takes an important turn toward resolution. However, the conflict isn’t over yet because the final outcome has not yet been determined.
