Your Horoscopes for Thursday, August 6th

 

Aries

There can be some up and down energy today, particularly as you may not be seeing things very clearly, dear Aries. Something might not quite measure up as you had hoped, particularly when it comes to material goods or comfort items, and possibly a creative project or romantic relationship. Conversations today can be enthusiastic at some points, and marred by insecurities at other times. There can be a mental disconnect now, particularly with a partner, love interest, or child, in the afternoon, or news coming in that points to a change of plans. Save important ideas or topics for later. When it comes to relationships, romance, and finance, you are not only emotional about these matters, you could be acting on self-sabotaging impulses, or you might jump to conclusions that are not entirely logical. There can be some ups and downs in how you’re perceiving things. You can also suffer from lack of drive and self-motivation now, but you’re in fact turning a corner.

Taurus

There is a strong emphasis on your home and family sector these days, dear Taurus, and this can bring a lot of attention to your support system, but it can also point to a stronger need for reassurance, comfort, familiarity, and security. While you may enjoy some helpful and inspiring conversations, news, or ideas, there can also be a disapproving person to deal with, or news that dampens your spirit a little. A partner might be aloof or defensive. Be courageous now, even if someone seems to be putting a damper on your plans, or if you face criticism. This can be an important month for house and home, family, and security, and what you learn these days can benefit you for some time. This can also be an important time for learning about past relationships.

Gemini

You can be very up and down today, dear Gemini, thinking positively at times and worried the next. The truth is somewhere in between, but the tendency to swing to extremes is with you now. You might also find that others are resilient and hypersensitive at different times, and it can be hard to know what to expect. Walking on eggshells may be a theme. Try to remain light and positive in your communications. Otherwise, you could become quite confused by others’ responses and worried too much about their opinions. There can be a conversation about the past that satisfies your curiosity but might somehow disappoint. Information surfaces that disagrees with you or challenges your take on a situation. Look for ways to minimize stress now, as you can be sensitive.

Cancer

While there can be excitement about new ideas today, dear Cancer, and perhaps some new insight into an old relationship, there can be a minor letdown involved. You can be up and down about what you learn today. This is another day for watching your money and for avoiding emotionally-driven decision making. As well, you may misinterpret others’ intentions or words. There can be news about a financial reality to deal with. Even so, you are certainly turning a corner, and you’re likely to enjoy the emphasis on comfort, building your resources, and communications going forward. Mars is almost at the end of its transit of your sign, a transit that occurs once every two years, and things are likely to settle down for you.

Leo

There can be excitement over new ideas or plans today, dear Leo, but there can also be a veto or disapproval, possibly due to restrictions that keep you close to home or family obligations. You may have a stronger desire to be heard now, but could also face some opposition. If others seem to want to challenge you or prove you wrong, respond with sincerity and fairness. Avoid over-explaining and stick to simple actions and responses. You are learning a lot about yourself these days, perhaps through challenges. Mars will be transiting your sign in two days, lasting from August 8th to September 24th. This brings desires closer to the surface and clearer tools for going after what you want.

Virgo

Big ideas and plans can come to you today, dear Virgo, but you can also be on an emotional swing, seeing the positive and the negative but not necessarily the truth. It’s best to stick to the rules now, as boring as this may sound. There can be a tendency to talk or learn about a past matter, most likely a relationship, but what you learn may not be as helpful as you’d like. Some things are better left alone! Think twice before reawakening an old topic. Avoid worrying too much about a poor choice or decision made in the past. Take extra time for self-reflection.

Libra

Friendships are complicated today, and new ideas and plans coming to you now can seem wonderful and doable one minute, and unrealistic the next, dear Libra. Money concerns or reality can temporarily put a damper on plans. It’s important not to make decisions from a state of worry or a state of the other extreme, over-optimism. If a decision absolutely needs to be made, try to find quiet time in order to sort out your thoughts. You may be too sensitive to others today to make strong decisions while on the go. Look inside yourself and allow your own wisdom to emerge. You can receive quite a bit of attention today, and others can be very attracted to you now.

Scorpio

There can be quite a bit of multi-tasking going on right now, dear Scorpio, with very little time to truly think. There may be some concern or worry about your reputation or position now, and it’s better to play by the rules at least until you feel stronger. Whether you’re overly fearful or overconfident, you’re not at a state of truth or calm. Aim for this middle ground now. You might rethink some of the things you’ve recently said or there could be a new understanding of a matter that is a little disappointing. Look within for your own wisdom instead of allowing others’ input influence your decisions unduly. Keep your sense of humor today.

Sagittarius

Watch today for some misunderstandings surrounding education, learning, communications, and transportation, dear Sagittarius. You may not be seeing plans clearly just for now. Distractions are plenty, and you could find yourself a little forgetful. You may be revisiting old ideas or even relationships from a new perspective. Enjoy the moments, share your enthusiasm, and avoid letting others’ opinions take precedence over your own inner wisdom. If you’re doubting yourself, then take more time for yourself to think. Mars will be moving into your adventure sector in just two days, and this will bring back more decisiveness and forward motion to your life.

Capricorn

While there can be big ideas and plans coming to you this morning, the afternoon may not play exactly to your favor, dear Capricorn, with your ruler, Saturn, in difficult aspect with Mercury. Try to keep a sense of humor, and perspective. Your prospects seem to be restricted at the moment, but it’s a temporary matter, and it may very well only be in the way you’re perceiving things. You might lack motivation for the time being, or you could find that others are setting up roadblocks for your advancement. Concentrate on improving your life rather than bemoaning the apparent lack of support. Opportunities can come through looking behind the scenes, in research, and in analysis, but watch that you don’t prod anyone, as people can be touchy now.

Aquarius

You can experience some tensions and inner unrest today, dear Aquarius. The need for structure in your life is strong, but some of the structures you’ve put in place are limiting your own growth. Circumstances and people seem to be blocking your progress now, but do consider whether some of your own attitudes have been self-limiting as well. You can accomplish a great deal if you keep expectations in check. It’s a time for modest ambitions, just for now, and for slowing down a little in order to make sure you’re getting things right. There can be important conversations or thoughts about a partnership, particularly a past one. Even so, there is also a tendency to see things as far bigger or smaller than they actually are. You are turning a corner, however, after a week that may have felt rather exhausting.

Pisces

Patience is necessary to get over a hurdle now, dear Pisces. There is, in fact, nice energy for your powers of attraction, work ideas, and conversations about the past, but there may be a little reality check or small disappointment tucked within any of these things. You could feel that others are being negative, critical, or disapproving. You might also experience restrictions on the job or with duties that involve re-working or redoing things that you had thought were already complete. Try to let go of frustrations and anger. You always feel better about yourself when you are able to rise above these things. As well, you can be dealing with especially helpful people in addition to disgruntled ones, and focusing on the positive makes sense.
