Daily Horoscopes

01-06-2017

Aries

Your family members seem to be in a bit of a funk right now. Some old news has come back, and new secrets are revealed that could be challenging to someone. An older relative may be hiding a health problem. You can cheer someone up with a phone call.

Taurus

You'll be enjoying your work or career. You could find yourself in the spotlight, especially if your work features creative skills or you are working in the entertainment business. Don't be afraid to flaunt your creative skills if you get in front of the right audience.

Gemini

A friend or companion is going to challenge you with some new ideas about your beliefs and values. Something is changing in their life in a positive way, but you have a strangely ambivalent reaction. You know that accepting change means making a big adjustment in your own life.

Cancer

Get out and have a good time. The movies, theme parks, art galleries and studios are going to be packed with interesting, exciting and creative people right now, and you really need to lose yourself in the crowd where someone interesting can find you!

Leo

You may be looking at adding some kind of water-based improvement to your home. For some this could translate to a swimming pool or hot tub, but for most it will be a more basic upgrade to your plumbing that improves the value or livability of your home.

Virgo

A friend or companion could put you in the spot financially right now. They may be asking for help or assistance because a family health or emotional crisis has put them into a stressful position. If you can't give money, maybe you can give time or advice instead.

Libra

You have subconscious fears about traveling right now, and this could make it difficult if you are the designated driver. Your mind is far away on other things, but your family members and relatives may be counting on you to taxi people around town right now. Drive safely.

Scorpio

The workplace will be a tad chaotic right now, some new tidbit of information has all your coworkers running around like headless chickens. There is some new innovation or technology that is going to dramatically improve your workplace or daily life.

Sagittarius

You need a break, and a friend or companion is going to drop by with just the ticket, a pass to a local computer show, or with the suggestion that you get out for a little fun on the town. If you are still single, look for entertainment with a "high-tech" twist.

Capricorn

You may be offered a once in a lifetime opportunity right now. If you are a writer or are involved in the communications business, sharpen your pencils and get out that resume, you have a chance to get published right now. Don't listen to a doubting Thomas in your family right now.

Aquarius

You will be spending a lot of time on the phone or in transit right now. Don't mix the two. Drive now, cell phone later. You need extra attention to devote your energies for getting from place to place. Avoid arguments over the phone at all costs right now. You are not your most persuasive.

Pisces

The answer to a group, club or organization's problems is for everyone to pull together with their unique talents, not for you to do it all. Leadership means learning how to "delegate". Once you figure this out, you'll be a lot happier and more productive.

02-08-2017

Aries

You could catch a lucky break that would help you sort out a home renovation problem. You might find supplies on sale, come across a good recommendation for a contractor, or be given a good do it yourself idea to brighten up your home or increase its value.

Taurus

The past few days have been challenging ones in the history of your career path, and you may be tempted to make a sudden, dramatic and impulsive last-minute change right now. Take two or three deep breaths, then wait until next Monday before you make up your mind.

Gemini

Someone important in your social or career path may ask you to take on a big responsibility, like hosting a party. You may be reluctant at first, but the rewards could well outweigh the risks. You can do this! It will be a little extra work, is all.

Cancer

You get along well with friends and people who share your intellectual interests, but there are storm clouds brewing on the home front right now. Someone you love may accuse you of being self-indulgent right now. It may be true, but it may also be necessary.

Leo

If you want to overcome a feeling of rejection right now, focus on your self, your image, your own personal needs. Don't be afraid to be prudently selfish right now. That is exactly what you need to do if you are to understand and heal yourself right now.

Virgo

There is an opportunity for you to benefit greatly from heading back to school. You may find that it is a challenge, that you have to focus a lot of your mental energy, but the effort will be worthwhile. Your workload may be heavy right now, especially if you deal with paper or communications.

Libra

Friends, companions and their children are less friendly right now, and you may decide you want some time alone. You want to play, but there may be some aches and pains from all that energetic playfulness you indulged in yesterday. It's rest time right now.

Scorpio

If you are planning a business trip, there could be challenges and disappointments. If you have to leave the country, or even drive across town, you should make a special effort to ensure that you are carrying with you any needed medical or safety supplies.

Sagittarius

You have a lot of extra energy right now and you are not sure where it is coming from. Your energy is high, creativity is up, and you can get a lot of work done right now. There are money-making opportunities if you play your cards right right now.

Capricorn

A friend or companion may be acting strangely right now. On the one hand, they are offering interesting opportunities, but they may be acting like there isn't much benefit to be had. The truth may be that they are not feeling too secure right now.

Aquarius

Relatives and loved ones with health challenges could require time and attention right now. There is a wonderful opportunity for you to find a new or alternative way to help them live healthier and more productive lives. Reach out and share what you learn.

Pisces

Serious conversations or discussions may lead you to reconsider some of your personal and political attitudes. You could end up in an argument with someone from another culture when it dawns on you that you really have to learn more about the outside world.

03-08-2017

Aries

You have wonderful intuition right now, especially where it comes to hunting down bargains for your home. Don't be afraid to push a little bit for the best price. You may be invited to a party or social engagement, and it may involve a lot of "hoity toity" preparations.

Taurus

If you are a parent, you have to face some challenges relating to the future career or educational choices of your children. If you are not yet a parent, you will find that you are confused about the next step to take in your own career or social ambitions.

Gemini

You may finally be able to break away for that vacation you have been dreaming about. You may find that there are some good last-minute bargains available on the Internet. If you are stuck at the office though, expect to get a lot of paperwork done right now.

Cancer

You will come across an unexpected windfall, some kind of bonus, gift, a good sale price, something special that is just the perfect thing to boost your spirits. You may also find the perfect gift for a friend or lived one.

Leo

You may be asked to write, teach or coach soon. Your energy may draw children and older people to you. You have knowledge that may be more valuable than you realize. An online comment could spark important future connections.

Virgo

Your intuition will be terrific right now. You have wonderful investing and work-related opportunities, and you will know just which ones to pursue, and which to avoid. Your personal energy is high right now and you will enjoy the art of getting ahead.

Libra

You may be having a hard time thinking clearly right now, and he may find that others similarly seem affected.  Be prepared to spend a little extra time getting to and from locations right now, as people may seem to be a little distracted.

Scorpio

Today your love aspects look a lot better, and it's likely on your own that you'll make the connections you need to. Not that meddling siblings and family members are fully happy with your choices, but they'll be happy you are at least getting out of the house.

Sagittarius

You can accomplish a great deal with a pen and paper, or a computer and an Internet connection right now. You have an opportunity to dramatically improve an important relationship with a friend or sibling, by being the one to take the big risk of holding out a hand.

Capricorn

Women in your family may bring you opportunities or ideas that help you improve your home or relationships in your family. You could get into arguments with male friends or children right now, though, so watch your temper around the guys in your life.

Aquarius

Romantic energies are terrific in your chart right now. You will be hearing good news about others in your circle of family and friends. Making love-connections may be harder than it looks though, so be careful if you are tempted to play matchmaker.

Pisces

A friend is in danger of getting the full force of your uncensored opinions. You are tired of watching them throw their money and life away. You no longer want to be their designated crying-sounding board. Tough love may be the only way to wake them up, but it won't be easy on you.

04-08-2017

Aries

You are going to have one of those family discussions where everything is talked to death but nothing ends up getting done. Your mind is not really focused right now, and it is easy to talk circles around you. Put off any important negotiations until you can concentrate.

Taurus

You may have an anxious moment about your finances right now, but you are likely to find that things won't be as bad as you fear. You may be tempted to take the telephone off the hook, though. There may be challenges involving travel plans if you have a vacation coming soon.

Gemini

This is definitely not the day to get into power struggles with relatives, especially if children and "values" are likely to get mentioned in the same breath. If you are saving for a child's education, someone wants to dip into the college fund for some short-term problem.

Cancer

You may have too many chores to do right now, and not enough time to complete them all, and to top it all off, people seem to be doing their level best to get in your way or make things harder. Avoid any pointless arguments right now, especially the online variety.

Leo

If you are a parent, watch your temper carefully right now. It could be just too easy to lose your cool over another request from a child who thinks you are a living moneybag. Think back to when you were a child. Did you really understand what "We can't afford it" means?

Virgo

If you are feeling a bit down right now, look to younger members of your family or in your circle of friends. Older relatives and parents especially will tend to be a bit on the dour or contentious side. You may have some unexpected good news for one of them, however.

Libra

You are drawn to an unusually gifted child right now. They may need a mentor or a friend, and you have the skills, talents, time or money to make something good happen for them. You could make new friends right now who share your hobbies or creative interests.

Scorpio

You have to make some adjustments between your recreational time, and the amount of time that you spend on your career ambitions. It looks like you are sacrificing your real life on the pyre you are building to the gods of success. Is it worth it?

Sagittarius

If you aren't the one bringing home news about more money, you could arrive to a happy face from a spouse or partner who will be bringing home more of the bacon themselves. Either way, it may be you have a reason to get out and celebrate this evening.

Capricorn

Any kind of home improvement project that does not involve telecommunications equipment or structural changes would be a good idea right now. You can accomplish a lot by focusing on the surface appearance of your home, or on getting some time out for some heart-pumping exercise.

Aquarius

If you work with a business partner, or have a friendly coworker you confide in regularly, pay them special attention right now. They may be a little tense right now but they are going to have ideas that could make you both a lot more prosperous.

Pisces

One of your favorite things is to curl up with a good book, close your doors and lock out the world for a while, and this would be a good time to do that if it's possible. For a good many members of your sign it will be. For the others, you may have to sneak in a few book moments between the chores.

05-08-2017

Aries

You could have some pretty strange insights right now, but though they seem profound and meaningful right now, very little is likely to come of them. You may be wrapped up in serious travel planning when it dawns on you that cancellation insurance is an excellent idea.

Taurus

It will be a day full of exciting challenges and opportunities. You may tend to run off at the mouth a bit though, because you are so excited about your latest hot new idea. Know when to keep silent right now, you may get more inspiration from others leading to still better plans.

Gemini

You may be facing something of faux pas, likely caused by stumbling over your own words at a public event. Don't fret so much, you will recover quickly and should be able to make up for any minor faux pas with a little self-deprecating humor. In fact, you could end up the toast of the town!

Cancer

Your creative and intellectual energies are high right now. Other people are drawn to you like moths to flame. You may find that one of your ideas is making an especially big impact. You may publish an article or start a popular online meme.

Leo

You are going to be wondering where your thoughts are coming from right now. It may be in some rare cases that you are actually channeling, but in most cases it is just that you are experiencing old thoughts you buried that are bubbling out of your subconscious.

Virgo

You will be hearing some good news about your health right now, and there will be unexpected developments that get your energy moving along nicely. You have a lot of interesting and exciting ideas and can get a lot of chores completed that you had been putting off.

Libra

You have to make a sudden and unexpected change to your lifestyle. Someone is going to point out a challenge to your wellness that you can only address by restructuring your daily routine. It may be you need to get some more exercise or better organize your daily schedule.

Scorpio

If you are still single, get out tonight and strut your stuff. You are incredibly attractive right now. If you are already married, you might have to display your ring a bit more prominently, because you may attract attention that you don't want!

Sagittarius

Small things are likely to get under your skin right now. Remember that you are only as big as the smallest thing it takes to upset you. Take deep breaths and stay focused on the positive, especially when dealing with authority figures or the public.

Capricorn

If you are single it's not that your mojo isn't working - in fact you are as hot as ever. The problem for you right now is your career and social ambitions are getting in the way of romance. You may have to slow things down a bit if you want to give love a chance.

Aquarius

If you are still single, you may meet someone at an entertainment event or in a casino. Your luck there may be more related to people than money though. If you are already married, take some kind of spontaneous risk with your significant other. Tell them what you appreciate about them.

Pisces

A new group of people that you meet online could be very important to your social future. While you may never meet face to face, you may be forming powerful bonds in the virtual world. There is even the prospect of a whirlwind virtual romance.

06-08-2017

Aries

There is a life-altering fork in the road and you are not sure what path to take. There is no right or wrong choice. Ask yourself which road lead to you feeling more secure, happier, satisfied and successful? What are your priorities? That will make the choice more obvious.

Taurus

You need to get out of the house and get into some kind of physical activity that allows you to express all that extra physical energy you are carrying around inside right now. You may soon be asked to coach or lead a children's sporting team or club.

Gemini

You may feel that you are sacrificing too much of your personal life to drive your ambitions, but it is not the best day to speak up about perceived inequities in your workplace. Watch, wait and be patient, and a course of action will become clear.

Cancer

Home and family issues seem to swirl about you right now, but you may find that it is very hard to get anyone to commit to the necessary changes that will bring growth and restore harmony. You cannot "make" things happen right now - so leave it be. It will resolve itself when the time is right.

Leo

Looks like you could be traveling, and while it's not entirely unexpected, you may have been forced to make changes or speed up the schedule. You will find that travel agents and other "support staff" are helpful and can take down some roadblocks.

Virgo

You will be opening your mind to new concepts and political ideas, based on information you find online or through social media. You may find that there is an unusual or alternative news source that is more reliable or accurate than traditional media sources. 

Libra

Today you are revising your thoughts and beliefs right now in a serious way, and you could sweep aside your best ideas in favor of ideas that are less in your favor in the end. It is a good day to ponder your options, less so to act upon them.

Scorpio

Don't listen to friends or companions who put down your latest self-indulgent treatment to improve your health or wellness. You may find that the weird aromatherapy fountain or that expensive massage treatment turns out to be worth its weight in gold.

Sagittarius

You may have a disagreement with friends or loved ones about spirituality, religion or culture right now. Your values are changing, and you may feel that your social circle is pressuring you to return to the fold, or at least appear to support the status quo.

Capricorn

You want to get away from your daily frustrations and duties, but you won't be able to escape the chores completely. There may be moments you can sneak to be by yourself - a favorite video game or some other fun distraction will perk up your spirits.

Aquarius

You are asked to some social function at the last minute and if you decide to attend you will have to rush around like a chicken with its head cut off in order to whip yourself into shape in time. You may find it more prudent to beg off in favor of some household chores that need doing.

Pisces

Are you in touch with your own ideas yet? You should be. Your energies are extra hot for making money and profiting from your personal inventions, creations and ideas. Today you will find a great deal of support, except from authority figures, but you can avoid most of them, anyway.

07-08-2017

Aries

You may find some time for an extra break from work or daily chores. You may be invited out by a friend, or be granted some unexpected time off. Keep an eye open for an opportunity to share some time with friends or loved ones, but save some time for yourself, too.

Taurus

You may find that there are opportunities for romance in some pretty strange places. You'll be very busy, have a lot of energy right now, and may quite literally run into someone new. Take your business cards on that jog through the park. Opportunity is fleeting!

Gemini

A small change in your diet or lifestyle may be needed to turn around a chronic problem. A little online research could point the way to an alternative treatment or a handy tip that could improve the condition, boost your mood or improve your overall energy level.

Cancer

You may benefit from the advice or mentoring skills of a strange or uniquely talented person in your social circle. If you are seeking advice, look for someone who has distinctive talents and insights, which are radically different from your own.

Leo

You will feel a warm, loving, supportive energy come over you right now. You might even experience a spontaneous healing of some kind. An inner awareness is releasing blocks and helping you to a more satisfied and comfortable sense of inner peace.

Virgo

You'll be dealing with some kind of healthcare issue right now, something that you are working a little too hard to keep secret from family and friends. Or perhaps you are keeping it secret from yourself, by denying a problem exists? Check it out for your peace of mind.

Libra

You may have to give up some recreational time to spend some energy sorting out a career-related issue, but your long-term goals are very important right now. Be careful right now, especially where it comes to money, finances or value judgments.

Scorpio

Your intuition can bring incredibly healing insights right now. You have a lot of wonderful ideas that could lead you to positive developments in your career or social future. You could brighten your workplace considerably by adding some music.

Sagittarius

You and your significant other will have some time for some fun and entertainment right now. If you have been trying to get them to agree to that budget-busting home theatre system, this is the best chance that you will get, but shop carefully!

Capricorn

You are a mental powerhouse right now. You have brilliant ideas, and tons of extra energy, but you are pushing just a little too hard for someone else's comfort levels. You may be right that they are being lazy, but you may be forced to work with them for the time being.

Aquarius

Don't try to share religion with others, especially not with anyone below the age of majority right now. You will find that people are especially sensitive to political and religious topics right now, especially where their kids are involved.

Pisces

Your intuition may be off where it comes to the men in your life right now. Don't plan for a sporting or entertainment event without consulting them. It's a much better day to hang out with the girls. The ladies' grapevine will be buzzing with some fun and juicy gossip.

08-08-2017

Aries

Your lifestyle and daily chores are about to be made a lot simpler as a result of some kind of innovation or procedure that makes it a lot easier for you to get the job done. It may be that you will have to take a class, lecture or seminar to get up to speed.

Taurus

You are drawn to interesting and unusual new people right now. You may make friends with others who have musical or creative talents, or who show a high degree of interest in the spiritual arts and meditation. An old friend may confess a drug problem, though.

Gemini

You'll be prying secrets from your mate or partner right now. You need to pry carefully, because you may be treading close to some "hot buttons". If you are single, you could meet someone intriguing, someone who wears a uniform may appeal to you right now.

Cancer

You may have an interesting spiritual challenge right now, something of a crisis of faith that forces you to have another look at some of your dearest values and traditions. Someone in your family may be pushing you towards a religion of their choice, not yours.

Leo

If you are settled into a committed relationship you may be discussing parenthood right now. If not, there is an opportunity for you to express your creative skills or talents. You may find that family members or social authority figures are not terribly supportive.

Virgo

It's not the best day to work on legal or complicated matters involving paperwork or publishing. If you must attend to such issues make sure you double or even triple-check your work and all the fine print. There will be a lot of fine print to go through.

Libra

You may be very tempted to jump off the diet bandwagon. A one-time cheat probably will not set you back, but make sure that little treat does not turn into a full-out binge. An alternative treat may be something other than food. When was the last time you had a good massage?

Scorpio

You and your significant other may have some disagreements over the budget right now. Try to find a way to compromise, to work together in some new way, and you may both find a new way to build your mutual resources together. A friend may have some investment tips or suggestions.

Sagittarius

Your intuition is going to tell you that someone has been pulling a fast one. You need to listen to that inner voice, because it could save you from losing a lot of money to some smooth talker who is taking advantage of your generosity or trusting nature.

Capricorn

You may be called upon by a relative to come over to help with some home repairs or renovations - but you may be better off to pay for a contractor if power tools or electricity is involved. You'll be all thumbs right now and could end up making things worse rather than better.

Aquarius

You may feel like tearing apart your home right now. You should be careful when you are moving around the furniture though, because your aspects say "accident prone" right now. If you redecorate, stick to the light things, and take things slowly.

Pisces

If you are single, look to your circle of friends for opportunities to enhance your little black book. Your social opportunities are fantastic right now, and you have a chance to make exciting and unusual new friends. You might have arguments or unexpected encounters with old friends.

09-08-2017

Aries

If you are looking for new information, the Internet is the best resource. You may have a hard time finding the exact details and items you are wanting, but it might be an enjoyable search. You will be learning new things that could open the way to new hobbies or pass-times.

Taurus

You have the ability to work out some travel plans right now that may have seemed challenging yesterday. You may find it is easier than usual to navigate the strange twists and turns of your weekly commute to the cottage, or your trip to the airport, as the case may be.

Gemini

Romantic energies return to your chart, and while friends are supportive, family members may not be too happy about your lifestyle or choice of partner. Rather than worrying about pleasing someone who may be impossible to please, stay focused on your own desires and needs.

Cancer

You will be watching your wallet right now because you know that someone has their eyes on your money. Be careful when shopping. You may decide to buy books right now, or to invest in a somewhat costly alternative healthcare remedy or vitamin treatment you want to try.

Leo

If you do crafts and hobbies, you could find yourself working on some strange projects that bring in new technological elements. If not, you may find yourself drawn to recreation on the Internet, or to a movie with a high-tech plot twist. Video games could suddenly pique your interest.

Virgo

It is not a good idea to start up a new business or career partnership right now. Existing alliances could be tested, as you are likely to be impatient and a little demanding right now. You want to move up and ahead and it may take longer than you would like.

Libra

You just can't resist taking charge right now even though you know that the extra responsibilities bring challenges. You may find yourself volunteering at the same moment you are asking yourself "What am I thinking?" The answer is that you need this experience, that is why you created it.

Scorpio

You have weird insights and intuitive flashes right now, and your beliefs about the lifestyle or parenting choices of a friend or companion is way off the mark. Just hang onto your tongue right now. You may get information tomorrow that dramatically changes your feelings.

Sagittarius

Friendships are much more rewarding right now. You had a strange disagreement or misunderstanding recently, but now that you have some detachment, you will be able to better respond to criticism or advice from your friends. You can now see what they were getting at.

Capricorn

There are likely to be arguments about past wrongs right now. Your partner and or loved ones will be feeling tense and unhappy. Remember that a lot of what they say and feel right now comes from old hurts that may have little to do with right now's realities.

Aquarius

Take advantage of opportunities to rebuild bridges, mend fences and get people together. Your home and family are good investments right now. While you may have some budgetary issues, any investment in real estate or home improvement is especially favoured right now. There may have to be dramatic changes before you can pocket your windfall though.

Pisces

Avoid spending money on recreation or on interesting new health or lifestyle products. You are likely to be disappointed. You are more likely to get good bargains in stocking up on work items or find a sale on cleaning supplies. Shop smart not sexy right now.

10-08-2017

Aries

You may be a source of good news to a loved one, sibling or neighbor right now. You have a lot of extra energy and can inspire others to improve their lives. You have an opportunity to make new friends and to join together with groups of people to make a positive difference.

Taurus

You will be impulsive where it comes to money and finances right now, and while you are likely going through an over-all "upswing" you still aren't being too practical where it comes to debts, savings and investments. In the long-term the best thing you can do is pay down debt.

Gemini

You may be over-thinking things right now. Worry and fears could be exaggerated as a result. Some time spent in meditation or prayer could refocus your perspective and bring greater peace of mind. Take some time to relax and get out of your head.

Cancer

You will have a lot of energy right now for career and social aspirations but little patience for the children in your life. Your children, or the children in the community around you, may need some more "after school" activities. Can you help set up a crafting club?

Leo

You will find that romantic fever works in your favor for the day at least. Take advantage of the warm fuzzy moments to rebuild some connections to your loved ones, particularly your love partner, who may be wondering about your recent mood swings.

Virgo

You will be asking yourself some important emotional and spiritual questions right now, likely as a result of a phone call from a loved one. You and your significant other have an important decision to resolve regarding a health or lifestyle concern.

Libra

A bit of a power struggle in the workplace will come out in your favour if you are patient, and willing to compromise. You may have to juggle some egos to get to where you want to be. Flattery will get you nowhere though. You just need to find out what the needs are and fill them.

Scorpio

Your love life is confusing again right now, but if you consider the possibility that your partner is stressed or a little depressed and that their mood is not about you, then you don't have to share in it. There may be nothing you can do for them but be supportive right now.

Sagittarius

You may be tempted to overspend right now. A last-minute sale or a tempting bargain at an electronics store could come by surprise. It may not be the bargain it appears to be at first! Keep looking, there is a better deal out there, or it may turn out to be a digital dud.

Capricorn

You feel rather moody and somewhat down at times right now, but the world will just won't let you stay down in the dumps. There is too much to do. As you clear the chores off your desk, you start to feel better. Just be sure to stay focused on the paperwork.

Aquarius

You are likely going to have one of those sit-down, dragged-out family discussions where everything is discussed but nothing gets done. You may be tempted to retreat into some overdue paperwork, but be careful, your mind is not really focused right now.

Pisces

You will have an opportunity to take action on a financial or career opportunity right now that could bring significantly positive changes in your income. Follow your intuition - a dream or a "gut feel" could lead you to the right person or an authority figure who can help.

11-08-2017

Aries

What appears to be an overconfident ego is in fact someone over-compensating. Remind yourself of that when you encounter a rude or challenging person. True confidence shows itself in patience and understanding, not in rudeness.

Taurus

You could have a disagreement with an authority figure, like your boss perhaps, whose ideas are a little "antiquated" to put it mildly. This may not be the best day to point out that we are now in the 21st Century. They just won't get what you are driving at.

Gemini

You will be watching your wallet right now because you know that someone has their eyes on your money. Be careful when shopping. You may decide to buy books right now, or to invest in a somewhat costly alternative healthcare remedy or vitamin treatment you want to try.

Cancer

If you are still single, friends and companions have some pretty strange ideas right now about you and your love life. If you are already married, you may find ways to get closer together with your significant other by finding a charity or club to join.

Leo

Your friends and companions will be acting a little strangely right now. They may actually be suffering from colds or the flu, or are just feeling out of sorts for reasons they don't wish to discuss. You may have a hard time reaching someone emotionally.

Virgo

If you want to continue to make career or social progress, right now is a good day to avoid others, keep to yourself, and keep quiet if you do find yourself in a group of people. You might say the wrong thing at the wrong time. You will have some luck involving a romantic partner, though.

Libra

Your love life gets downright strange. There is a love-hate note in the passionate symphony you are playing out right now. Ride along with it - let it sort itself out. Trying to force it into something predictable right now would not work.

Scorpio

You may be planning your next dream vacation when it hits you. You'd really like to do something more spiritually fulfilling or meaningful. You could be looking up adventure tourism or eco-tourism for a rewarding new way to spend your free time.

Sagittarius

A long talk with your partner about your finances is overdue. You need to make them see that you cannot make them happy if you are miserable yourself. If they have issues with the budget, they might have to pitch in themselves to take up the slack.

Capricorn

You have the ability to forcefully motivate others right now. You could be a little more aggressive than normal where it comes to the daily commute or when pushing for paperwork to be completed. Do be careful to double-check any paperwork you have rushed through.

Aquarius

Others will see you as someone very important and interesting right now. Someone looks up to you and will see you as being the teacher or visionary they have been looking for. This may be a little unnerving but the truth is you can handle the responsibility.

Pisces

You might think it is a great day to head out to the salon for that makeoever you have been wanting, but if you are trying to impress a loved-one with your new look ... forget it. Someone in your family is wound up in their own stuff right now and you are better off to avoid their input.

12-08-2017

Aries

Communications troubles dog your ambitions right now. You may find that you have problems with cell phones, fax machines and networked computers. If you are creative, you may find an alternative solution that actually helps you make a better connection with a boss or important client.

Taurus

You could be strongly attracted to someone you meet at a high-powered social event. Be aware that you are likely to be overly impulsive right now and try to be a little more cautious than normal. Your powers of attraction are strong, but the glue that binds for the long term is not there right now for new relationships.

Gemini

A challenging, exciting, dramatic change in your career or social standing is coming, but you may have to keep it secret from family members for the time being. There may be a home move required, or there are other conditions that affect your family.

Cancer

Definitely leave your cash and credit cards at home again right now. It's high-priced home electronics, computers and electrical appliances that are the bane of your bank balance right now. They could be faulty or have hidden "features" you don't like.

Leo

You have some really good ideas about your financial investments right now, but you may be unable to act on them due to problems with malfunctioning communications or electronic equipment. Don't make new money plans or start new investment projects until you investigate them thoroughly.

Virgo

You will be focused on ways of having fun, and enjoying yourself right now. You may be getting a lot more serious about your fun, too. You could be thinking about taking classes or lessons in a new craft, sport, or hobby. If you are a parent, expect good news from school.

Libra

Your chart right now practically shouts that you need to exercise more, and you need to watch your diet. You have financial opportunities to celebrate, but if you do that with cookie dough ice cream, it will go straight to your waist line right now.

Scorpio

You are into serious "shopaholic" mode right now. The upside is that you can definitely find some really good bargains. The downside is that you could spend way too much money on things that you don't really need. Be careful to ask yourself "do I really need this".

Sagittarius

If you are looking for inspiration with your career, consider something with more creative, artistic or spiritual qualities. Yes, you want to save the world and make a difference and all that good stuff, but you are also allowed to have a good time in the process.

Capricorn

You are the image of the Hermit right now. You really can't be bothered with all the annoying distractions of the world. You want to ponder your navel, or the mysteries of the universe. You do not want to worry about budgets, bills, finances and investments.

Aquarius

You have a chance to tell someone how you feel about them right now. If you are single, you may decide to take a chance on telling that secret "crush" you have that you'd like to be more than friends. If you are married, just tell your partner one thing you appreciate about them.

Pisces

You will soon be able to get out for a little fun. Even if you only set up a little impromptu game of catch in the parking lot at lunch, getting the blood circulating could prove to be a powerful motivator and mood lifter for everyone involved.

13-08-2017

Aries

You may feel that your values are changing as a result of your recent interactions with a woman or a group of women who have showed you new ways of looking at the world. One if these women may help you boost your bottom line.

Taurus

Spiritual insights come to you that can dramatically improve your lifestyle and wellbeing. You may discover that there truly is power in prayer. Meditation and contemplation of higher spiritual truths can bring you peace and physical comfort.

Gemini

An important transition in the news or the passing of a celebrity could have you re-evaluating some of the priorities of your own life. How are you giving service to others? How are you making the world a better place? The best place to start is in how you judge yourself and those you love.

Cancer

You may have to make an important decision about one of your children's companions right now if you are a parent. If you are not a parent, you may have to decide between a fun outing with one friend, or a more challenging meeting of the "intervention" type.

Leo

You may be thinking about a long-term career concern or decision right now when the solution you have been seeking hits you like a Mac truck. You have been avoiding doing the very thing you have most wanted to do, because you have been too focused on the things you felt you had to do.

Virgo

You may have an opportunity to become a leader or example to the younger members of your family or circle of friends right now. People see you as serious but studious right now, and those who may ordinarily dismiss you suddenly take you seriously. Your ideas and inspirations are valuable right now.

Libra

Talk to your family about the investment you want to make in the old homestead. You may find that they have some interesting ideas or suggestions that you have overlooked. They may be a little wild, and one of them could end up saving you a big wad of cash.

Scorpio

You will get some unusual phone calls, letters or paperwork to deal with right now. If you travel soon, consider a trip to a spa or to some kind of wellness retreat. You have decided that you strongly need renewal of both body and spirit right now.

Sagittarius

Your search for meaning gets intense and confusing right now. A friend of yours may challenge you with new ideas, or is unsupportive when you bring up your concerns. Stick to your questions. They do have value, and the rewards could be immeasurable.

Capricorn

You are already planning your weekend getaway, whether it is a cross-country flight, a weekend at the cottage or a day-tripper to the local zoo, and you don't have much patience or attention span available for work, chores, meetings or office politics. 

Aquarius

Your holidays don't have to be "perfect" in order to be positive and purposeful. If you let go of your need for everyone to get along, a strange sense of peace could come over you that lifts the stress and the drama. Under all that you really do all love one another.

Pisces

You may need some extra patience with customer service or tech support. Expect more traffic, longer line ups and slower thinking. People will be scattered and unfocused and tempers may be hotter and quicker. You can make a big difference with a small kindness.

14-08-2017

Aries

Your intuition will be sharp again right now, but you will be much more careful before you jump into anything it calls you to do. You may get an idea for helping out a sick or elder relative who needs some help getting from one place to another.

Taurus

You have untapped skills and creative talents that are begging to be expressed right now. You may be taking up a new craft or hobby that will improve your lifestyle, and brighten your mood. It may bring a new love interest into your life as well.

Gemini

You may have a challenging time with the people closest to you. They may seem a little twitchy or sensitive, especially where it comes to debts, financial investments or favors, or spirituality. Someone you know has a bit of trouble facing an upcoming life transition.

Cancer

That on again off again trip is on again, most likely due to the intervention of your significant other, who will find the means or the gumption to set things up on your behalf. If you are single, a trip, across the country, or to the local book store, could lead to a lucky moment in the history of your love life.

Leo

You could have some arguments with health care providers, medical professionals or busy-body relatives who are nagging you to get out and get more active right now. You think you are moving around enough, thank you very much - but walking a block or two a day can't hurt.

Virgo

If you are a parent, your beloved little ones could be a bit challenging right now. They are likely to cry at the drop of a hat, and you may feel like you could use a good cry too. Don't fret, you have both just gotten up on the wrong side of the bed, it will soon pass.

Libra

You and your significant other need to talk honestly and openly about your budget or career ambitions. If you are still single, you could realize that you are attracting insecure partners who are seeking to be rescued from their challenges.

Scorpio

It's a good day to plan a future vacation together with your mate or partner. Look for opportunities that combine travel and learning. If single, you may just meet someone interesting on the daily commute. Keep an open mind if you meet someone who is not from your racial or cultural background.

Sagittarius

You have benefited from good financial energies for a day or so, but now when you have a chance to do something with all that energy there are some roadblocks in the way. It just might work out to your own benefit that you don't move too quickly. Check all the fine print.

Capricorn

You have an intuition about an elder family member. You must go and speak to them, take action on their behalf, or find some way you can help them. Your generosity and good will can work wonders right now. A little home improvement chore will make a huge difference in your lifestyle.

Aquarius

You may be asked to help a child with their homework or a chore. At first you may be reluctant, but if you can find a way to make it fun, it will be a rewarding and educational process for both of you. Get creative.

Pisces

It may be difficult for you to open up to a family member - especially if the person in question takes the form of "mother in law". It is a good day to practice being a patient listener. You will learn much if you listen without falling top the temptation to argue or defend yourself.

15-08-2017

Aries

Your love life is downright warm and cozy right now. You are feeling in love with love, and a virtual cloud of romance surrounds you. Whether you are already married or are still single, get out into places where music is appreciated and shared.

Taurus

Trust your intuition where it comes to a career change or financial proposal. A radical change in your lifestyle due to an influx of money is indicated in your chart at present, but you must move with decisive speed to take advantage of it.

Gemini

If your work involves the media, publication or large volumes of paperwork, you are going to find this to be a confusing and frustrating time, even though there are terrific opportunities. Take extra time getting to and from work and don't push yourself too hard.

Cancer

You are looking forward to some fun and it is hard to keep your mind focused on the daily realities right now. There are likely to be a lot of phone calls and interruptions, and there may be annoying little problems with computers. Three words, backups, backups, backups!

Leo

Drinking more water or going swimming regularly may help you deal better with a health or fitness challenge. Your energy is a little heavy right now, so getting more water around you could brighten your mood and boost your physical energy.

Virgo

If your partner is cranky right now, you might consider suggesting a night out with friends or together, or out at a local spa for "his and hers" massages. You both need a little special treatment right now and relaxing together will help you build intimacy.

Libra

You must make certain to balance your needs with the needs of loved ones that count on you for emotional, physical, or financial support. You will tend to get too carried away taking care of them, to the point you neglect yourself. It is vitally important to your well being that you book yourself as much fun and recreational time as possible.

Scorpio

Whatever happens right now remember that this too shall pass. People are going to be grumpy and miserable and you will be on edge yourself. The potential for disagreement and misunderstanding is going to be obvious. Watch your language, and be really careful around family members and employers.

Sagittarius

Lesson number one learned from the "dot-bomb era" ...? Never defer income for stock options. You may be offered some "if this, then that" incentive or bonus for signing up or working harder on some project, but you would be gambling on other people's performances, not just your own.

Capricorn

Don't worry if you put your foot in your mouth right now, nothing bad will come of it. Conversely though, it may well be that a big presentation you deliver just doesn't get the point across. You may have to deliver it again at a future date when the bigwigs can pay attention.

Aquarius

This is a great time to explore new ideas. If you are not already reading one of those wordy self-help hardback tomes, drop by the library and check out the self-improvement section. Pick a wild topic that doesn't really apply to you - you may learn something unexpected.

Pisces

You could get some good advice from a friend about a health or "wellness" issue that has been troubling you. You might not like all the medicine they give you - the lecture about taking better care of yourself and not giving so much to others never does go down terribly well with you.

16-08-2017

Aries

You may have to offer a blunt and negative assessment of a coworker or employer's performance right now. It may not be avoidable. Your own self-esteem is at issue here, as well as working conditions. You could be surprised that you get a more thoughtful response than you expected.

Taurus

You have an opportunity to take on a eadership role, but there are a lot of unrevealed responsibilities or challenges that you have not been informed of. It may be prudent to take a slow approach to the offer. Spend a little more time reading or re-reading all of the fine print.

Gemini

Workplace romances and friendships are not good for you right now. You need to stay focused on productive work, on the daily chores. Don't let yourself get distracted by arguments over renovations or changes to the appearance of the places you work in.

Cancer

You may need to make an adjustment in the way you approach your career and social goals. The stars say you may be a little too pushy or impatient right now, and you may risk alienating the very people you most need on your side. Take several deep breaths before sharing truth, powerful people may be easily offended. 

Leo

Watch your wallet right now. Pickpockets could be about, both the illegal felonious sort and the kind that steal the old fashioned way, by selling sub-standard goods at inflated prices. Be aware of what you purchase. Put off large appliance purchases until you research prices.

Virgo

You may want to break free of a friendship, association or a responsibility that is a drain on your pocketbook, but something is holding you back from taking the next big step. Use your personal strength right now and take a stand for self-empowerment and personal growth. Trust your intuition.

Libra

You will be in demand in social circles, because you are chatty, exciting and full of wild ideas right now. You have an opportunity to make new friends right now, but they may be dramatically different from your normal circle of friends and companions.

Scorpio

You may feel like your prayers are going unanswered right now, and that may be because you are pushing too hard to make something happen. Any seed needs time to grow. Relax, let go, and allow things to be for a while. Focus on gratitude and acceptance, and the pieces of the puzzle you are seeking will fall into place.

Sagittarius

There is a charity or organization that us crying out for a leader. If you choose to step up to the role, you may find that there is a lot of work involved in keeping other volunteers on the same page. You may not be able to get anything done until a clear leadership structure is established.

Capricorn

You have a poetic mindset right now, your creative juices are running hot. But you are not being terribly practical about putting your ideas into practical use. You may find at times that it is hard for you to get your ideas across to other people.

Aquarius

You may find that an old toy is not functioning as well as it used to.  It may be time for you to recycle this item, or to take it in and trade it in for something new.  This may prove to be an opportune time for you to get a good bargain on something newer.

Pisces

It's your job to take a leadership role in some kind of group activity, sport or charity, likely one involving children or parenting in some aspect. Even if you are not a parent, you can still help out. Maybe you have a sibling or friend who could use a night out while you baby-sit your nieces and nephews?

17-08-2017

Aries

If you are a parent, you may find that one of your children has a problem at school that is causing sadness or depression. What they really need is to talk to you, and for you to really listen to whatever is going on. If you are not a parent, you need some play time.

Taurus

You may have some unusual dreams this evening. You may be thinking about your relationship with your significant other and how you need to adjust things so the two of you have a more harmonious relationship. You may also be thinking about your investment plans for the future.

Gemini

You may hear some good news about alternative healthcare options. A price is coming down or a regulation is changing that will have a positive impact on your health. You may find a new herbal or dietary option can improve your health.

Cancer

You feel torn between your need to get away and have some fun and a desire to help a friend get out of a jam right now. You and your significant other have earned some time together, don't let a needy and thoughtless companion deprive you of an intimate moment.

Leo

You are enthusiastic and energetic right now, and can carve a big swath through that growing mountain of paperwork on your desk right now. You may be a little overly energetic at times and this could lead to arguments if you are too insistent in resisting compromises.

Virgo

You could have a lot of fun right now picking up one of those "Time Life" type books that teach you how to fix up your home. You have been watching a lot of those television shows where people tear up and redo their homes - just remember it is not as easy as they make it look.

Libra

You are realizing that some of your spiritual interests or personal values come with a price tag attached. You may experience some resistance to a charity drive or non-profit venture proposed by someone in your spiritual circle. You don't have to explain, just say "Sorry, can't do it now."

Scorpio

If you want to sort out the "family problems" you may have to take matters into your own hands and get that troubled relative some help. They may need medical assistance, or perhaps a little pushing from you to get them to see they have a problem that needs treatment. Today there is an opening - make use of it!

Sagittarius

You could have a sudden and unexpected encounter with an authority figure who throws your plans into disarray. Stick to the speed limit. If you drive slow, drive in the slow lane. And if you do get pulled over, be polite. Watch for detour signs and speed traps right now.

Capricorn

You are best advised right now to leave your cash and credit cards at home. Every shiny, pretty thing with a huge price tag is going to catch your eye. If you buy creative products or supplies right now you may find they sit in the closet a long time before you actually use them.

Aquarius

All that worrying you did last week, and for what? See, things have a way of working themselves out. You are about to get some news that should finally put all your stressful fears behind you. Keep your eyes open for a new career opportunity.

Pisces

You and a friend are not seeing eye to eye right now. One is accusing the other of not being terribly realistic at best and childish at worst. If you are on the receiving end of some criticism your sense of fun and humor could come to the rescue.

18-08-2017

Aries

The best way to take the edge off right now is to set aside some time for reading, surfing the Internet or calling up old pals long distance on the phone. You will be spending a lot of time discussing changes in people's lives. There is a lot to catch up on.

Taurus

You may find an unusual source of spiritual inspiration in a book, movie or video game. The reason you are so attracted to the story is it is a metaphor for the circumstances of your own life. You may find a solution to a problem in this story.

Gemini

Friendships are much more rewarding right now. You had a strange disagreement or misunderstanding recently, but now that you have some detachment, you will be able to better respond to criticism or advice from your friends. You can now see what they were getting at.

Cancer

You may find yourself considering opening a new business or making a change in your career soon. you may need some time to research and do your due diligence to make sure you have the best possible chance at success.

Leo

If you have kids you could be making a last-minute trip to the local computer centre with some broken electronics, computers or telephones right now. Everyone has a lot of excess energy right now and it may be hard to get in the physical exercise needed to work it off.

Virgo

You can get a lot of the chores and responsibilities cleared off your plate right now. You'll be focused and energetic, and you can get a lot of work done. Someone you love may need your help with a medical challenge, or with their own workload.

Libra

The phone keeps ringing off the hook, and you are amazed by what people have to say. Someone has some wild advice for you, advice you immediately want to dismiss, but if you slow down, take a deep breath, you may realize they have a point after all.

Scorpio

Conflicts with close loved ones could have you dreaming about running away. That won't solve the immediate problem, but a vacation on your own could help your emotional state. You may be traveling for business reasons - if so, make sure all your paperwork is in order. There could be conflicts with authority figures.

Sagittarius

If you are trying to get a handle on your love life right now, the key words for the quest are "money, values, material security". You may be feeling insecure partially as a result of something your partner says and does and partially because you are reliving a childhood insecurity.

Capricorn

You will likely be traveling or on the phone a lot right now. You are an inspiration or a source of comfort to a friend in need. Look to music, art and entertainment for ideas on ways to make someone's mood swing back into the "positive" direction.

Aquarius

You have some wonderful energy right now in your career sector, and may be able to parlay a chance social meeting or acquaintance into advancement in your career. You may be invited to a fancy party or shindig together with people of a higher social bracket than yourself.

Pisces

What you may think of as a setback in your career may simply be a step back to make space for a giant leap forward. You may soon be returning to a former workplace, or to a type of work you enjoyed in the past. Be patient a while longer. Use any time off as a chance to rest and clear out the cobwebs.

19-08-2017

Aries

You may just be dreaming but there is a chance you could go overseas or visit another country sooner than you think. Stay positive, there may be mixed signals right now, but the ultimate outcome is in your favor. Brush up on the local language and customs while you wait for confirmation. 

Taurus

A friend or companion may offer you a chance to travel or to go out to an educational event, lecture or seminar. If for some odd reason you find yourself on your own right now, head out to the library or bookstore. You never know who you might meet along the way.

Gemini

Relatives and loved ones with health challenges could require time and attention right now. There is a wonderful opportunity for you to find a new or alternative way to help them live healthier and more productive lives. Reach out and share what you learn.

Secrets and their consequences are the theme of the day. You have gotten a message recently that you take much better care of others than you do of yourself. Now is the time to buy yourself some space, some rest or some free time for a hobby.

Leo

If you and your significant other have needed to talk, this is the day you can make some major breakthroughs. All of a sudden the clam breaks open and no-one seems able to shut either of you up! Stop long enough to listen to each other, it will count.

Virgo

A major opportunity to improve your home becomes apparent right now. You'll be considering new home improvements, renovations and upgrades. What you may not realize at first is that some things have to be torn down before they can be rebuilt. It's a big job.

Libra

You will be getting news about your health or well being that makes it even more important that you start on a healthy diet and exercise regime. Your creative abilities could prove to be positive and healing to your general well being somehow - a painting class or musical interest helps you deal with stress.

Scorpio

This is a special day in the history of your career. You face an important choice. Will you follow what you feel is right for you, or will you sacrifice your dreams for the desires of another? A friendly advisor could help you decide.

Sagittarius

If you are single, it would be a sin against nature for you to spend the day holed up at home right now. Get yourself out into the fresh air, rain or shine, get out to see and be seen. Something is in the air right now, and you could get lucky in more ways than one.

Capricorn

You could make money right now from teaching, research, paperwork or through phone or a mail-order business. The keywords are "communication" and "information". You have knowledge and access to information resources that are valuable to others.

Aquarius

You swing from one end of the mood spectrum to the other right now. The reason for your changing emotions may not be outer events, but subconscious emotions triggered by past memories, smells or experiences. You can stay up if you have a creative outlet or hobby.

Pisces

You could have a wonderful chat with an older loved one right now, provided you can stay to topics like learning, teaching or alternative medicines, and away from the hot-button topics like your love life, lifestyle changes or a dramatic transformation in their personal life.

20-08-2017

Aries

The family secret has hit the fan and not everyone is happy, but trust me, there is great value in the old cliché "The truth shall set you free". You just have to remind your loved ones that hiding the truth never works for very long and it almost always makes things harder.

Taurus

Now is the time for you to put your best foot forward. You have a talent or skill and you may be offered an opportunity to share that gift with others. Do not be afraid to jump out in front of an audience right now. What you say could make a difference in a big way.

You may be considering changes to your home or daily routine that have unexpected and positive benefits in your wellness, both physical and financial. You may have a home-based business opportunity, or are looking at a renovation that will boost home equity.

Cancer

You can just tear through the paperwork right now. You have a million ideas and are running on high-octane energy right now. You may find that you have to slow down a bit so that others can understand you, never mind catch up to you. One of those ideas is a major winner.

Leo

You have an overwhelming urge to exercise or change your diet right now, perhaps because of something you have seen on TV or read in your horoscope! But be aware it is best to make small changes, don't leap into the pool to do 100 laps right off the bat.

Virgo

You may have strange and unusual psychic experiences or dreams right now, but try not to read too much into them. They may not be the cosmic message they seem to be at first. In fact, they may merely distract you from more important issues at hand.

Libra

You may have a misunderstanding with an important person in your workplace. It is best to avoid hot-button topics like sex, politics and gender issues altogether. Keep things light and impersonal. Avoid the office gossips, keep your head down.

Scorpio

The phone is going to be ringing off the hook right now. The positive calls will come from friends and loved ones. Your social life is on the upswing. The challenging calls come from coworkers, employers or demanding customers making last-minute changes to everything.

Sagittarius

Your compassion and good will towards a loved one could get you into a spot of trouble right now if you over-extend your budget. There is a chance for you to do some good, and that's a good thing. Just try not to be too quick to throw money at the problem.

Capricorn

Your career is driving you around the bend right now because once again you are being asked to make changes, and you are a sign that likes the status quo to be stable. You may act rashly and impulsively in an effort to get some semblance of stability but that is only making it worse.

Aquarius

Your workplace is likely to be something of a hotbed of gossip and office politics right now. You may be suffering from information overload, or from not being able to get the information that you need in order to get your work done on time.

Pisces

If you are looking out for opportunities to make a good impression on your partner, avoid a very tempting opportunity to ingratiate yourself with their parents. You may find that you are able to talk your way out of a bad situation, but only if you are utterly sincere.

21-08-2017

Aries

You may have some trouble with an electronic device or cell phone. A little patience will go a long way while researching the problem. Make sure you have time before you make any calls to technical support, the issue may be minor, but it may take some time to sort out.

Taurus

Someone needs you to stand up for them. Sticking your neck out may seem like a risk, but saying nothing may feel worse in the long run. You may need to weigh the pros and cons before you act, but do not wait too long, you could miss an opportunity to make a positive impact.

Leo

You are out of focus at the moment, and that is why you feel uncertain about taking a leadership role in your spiritual community. You need advice and guidance from others who have been in a similar situation. Don't be afraid to reach out for some help.

Virgo

Now you are finding out the meaning of the phrase "Be careful what you wish for". You wanted greater structure, stability and responsibility, and now are finding out that means a lot of extra work. People may come across as confused or hyper-sensitive right now.

Libra

Don't be a stick in the mud! Get out there and play like a carefree child. That's what is most needed to get your creative juices flowing once again. You need to reconnect with your "inner child" right now. Don't let minor arguments or misunderstandings get under your skin.

Scorpio

Like it or not you just may have to take charge in your family, but while banging their thick heads together may sound appealing, that could bring more trouble than resolution. If you want to help, be a patient and tolerant listener to both sides.

Sagittarius

You could help someone who is recovering from an illness by taking them out for a day of relaxing and totally mindless fun. Something low-impact like fishing is much better than the big "production number" you first had planned. Yes, they need cheering up - but remember, they lack energy right now.

Capricorn

Your spiritual gifts are starting to show, and you may discover that you have a healing gift that can bring comfort to others. You may be studying, learning, or even teaching others new ways to heal themselves through spiritual or holistic techniques.

Aquarius

Family members will bring you stress or worries right now. Someone has joined some group, club or social clique that has everyone else concerned or in an uproar. You are the least clear of all, so avoid making any critical comments until the dust has settled.

Pisces

You are about to see evidence of the Law of Attraction in evidence. Interesting synchronicites and coincidences could lead you right to the exact solution to a long term problem, or to a good deal that makes a large purchase fit into your budget.

22-08-2017

Aries

If your work involves the media, publication or large volumes of paperwork, you are going to find this to be a confusing and frustrating day, even though there are terrific opportunities. Take extra time getting to and from work and don't push yourself too hard.

Taurus

Don't over-commit yourself to a charity, club, or spiritual commitment right now. Everyone seems to have the offering plate out, and they are waving it in your direction. Make sure that you give out of a genuine desire to help, not from a feeling of obligation.

Gemini

A relationship you are cultivating in the workplace could backfire right now. That generous promotion or advancement up the social ladder they are promising may be beyond their ability to deliver. You may have to make some changes in your relationship as a result.

Cancer

If you end up responsible for the children of the family right now, find lots of light and happy toys and games for them to play, and make sure you have lots to drink, and plenty of cleaning supplies on hand. Everyone is likely to be hyperactive right now.

Leo

You may be asked to sign some contract or document right now, but the project is likely to go nowhere unless you wait until late in the day or tomorrow. You may find that it is difficult to connect with people and that your meetings are cancelled or rescheduled because everyone is scattered.

Virgo

A friend or acquaintance wants you to go with them on a big, expensive trip and you know you have other priorities at the moment. While it may be tempting to run off for a week or so, the hot energy in your career sectors cannot be ignored.

Libra

Arguments or disagreements with friends could be a good thing right now. All the cards will be on the table, in full view, and the two of you can decide as mature adults whether the problems can be overcome, or whether or not it might be time to agree to part the ways.

Scorpio

You may be traveling soon. You could be getting some unexpected time off, or a special price could make that dream trip affordable. A short weekend getaway could re-ignite the flames of passion in a flagging romance, too.

Sagittarius

Someone may call with an unexpected offer to help you with your chores or daily tasks right now. You like to be self-sufficient, but if you say "No thanks" you may deny someone of an opportunity to help someone they care about - namely you! Would that be right?

Capricorn

Your outlook for a financial improvement is getting more likely. Your energy is up, and you have a lot of good ideas. Pace yourself, make sure you do not over-extend yourself. Make sure you book enough rest and recreation time.

Aquarius

Just because things are turning around in some areas of life does not mean you have to feel great all the time. If you are feeling a bit down, just let it be. Fighting it will only make it worse. Make sure to get all the sleep and recreation time you will be needing to stay on track.

Pisces

You could be making or taking some interesting phone calls right now, focusing on a big entertainment event or a new hobby you have recently taken up. If you are a parent, you could be helping a child with their homework this evening and it could actually be fun.

23-08-2017

Aries

Even a small amount of "quality time" would go a long way towards improving your relationship with your family. You need to spend a little bit more play and re-creation time with your loved ones.

Taurus

You have an opportunity to powerfully and dynamically change your relationship with your significant other right now. You may be considering taking a life-altering trip together. If you are single and want that to change, get out to the local library or bookstore right now.

Gemini

You may find that you get along with female coworkers, employers, and authorities better right now than you do with their male counterparts. Men around you in the workplace will tend to be tense, but women will be more playful and good-natured.

Cancer

It may be a little challenging to stay silent in the face of what may seem to be abuse, but unless things are at an immediate crisis point, it may be better to stay quiet but observant for right now. Your chart says stepping in with strong opinions about childcare could be risky.

Leo

There could be a disagreement or dispute in your family about someone's love life, perhaps even your love life. If you are the target of criticism, pay attention right now, because even though the delivery may be blunt, their heart is in the right place.

Virgo

Your intuitive abilities are on power surge right now. You may have a strange dream or psychic impression that comes true. If you are seeking spiritual answers, try meditating with some soothing music right now, you may get more than you expected from a few minutes quiet reflection.

Libra

If you are confused or conflicted about a spiritual, religious or health matter, seek out an advisor or authority figure who is older, more established, who understands the issues you are facing right now. You need someone who can help you put your feet back on the ground.

Scorpio

Someone may unexpectedly offer you a job, a raise or new financial opportunities that are hard to resist. You may find yourself in the delightful dilemma of having to pick between two equally appealing opportunities. Follow the guidance of your heart.

Sagittarius

No matter what ails you, a little bit of brisk fresh air and exercise will help clear your head. Avoid high-impact and extreme sports, though. This will be one of those days if you have a parent who is urging you to add a new branch to the family tree.

Capricorn

You may feel like your prayers are going unanswered right now. You are pushing too hard to make something happen. The prayer needs time to grow or manifest. Focus on living life one day at a time right now - the answer will come when you are ready to hear it.

Aquarius

You may be considering changing some aspect of your spiritual growth or education as a result of changing family structure. If you are a new parent, or your children have recently crossed some kind of social passage, this could bring new urgency to the quest.

Pisces

You want to spend more money right now, this time on an investment that may or may not be the bargain it appears to be. Check it out carefully before you sink the farm into the opportunity. It may turn out to be a major "learning period" for you if you don't.

24-08-2017

Aries

Social changes may be challenging right now. You are frustrated with someone's unstable, erratic behavior, but it is difficult to say much because you need their help in getting to the next rung on the social ladder. Be patient, things will change when the timing is right.

Taurus

Keep your eyes open as someone is keeping secrets from you. This may be innocent or nefarious, but either way it is likely to be challenging or inconvenient. You may find out that someone you know has run afoul of an authority figure of some kind.

Gemini

You have to make some changes or adjustments in your lifestyle soon. You have to put your foot down with someone who wants you to carry their share of the workload. If you want fair play, you'll have to insist on it, because they are decidedly unmotivated right now.

Cancer

You'll be anything but tongue-tied right now, but you may look back and wish you had been! Your mental and physical energy is a little too high right now, and you might misinterpret that as anxiety. Take frequent breaks right now or a time out for exercise if you find yourself moving too fast.

Leo

You may discover that you have special teaching skills or an opportunity to go back to school may manifest right now. You may encounter people who have medical problems you have some experience with. Don't be afraid to share what you have learned. You could be helpful.

Virgo

A home-based business should have two key ingredients for success - a good, solid, supportive partner, and an outstanding creative idea. A little luck and investment from third parties couldn't hurt either. You could find many of the conditions you need are coming into place.

Libra

Your mind is kind of "stuck" on some metaphysical problem - you have some issue to resolve that involves spiritual, cultural or religious values. You may also be rethinking your personal investment strategy or a long-term financial partnership.

Scorpio

An unexpected change in your health may provoke a trip to the Health Food store.  You may be looking for an alternative treatment for some that mild discomfort.  Do not be afraid to ask for advice, it even if it sounds silly to ask.

Sagittarius

You may find that your subconscious mind is playing tricks on you all of a sudden. You will find that your emotions and attention swing from one end of the spectrum to the other. Your spiritual beliefs and traditions will be a source of comfort right now.

Capricorn

If you have to decide between some fun with friends and a romantic dinner, follow the romantic path tonight. Friends will be unreliable and erratic at best, and there could be many schedule changes or problems with getting from one place to the next.

Aquarius

It will be interesting to get your thoughts right now. Your mind is full of dynamic, intense, vivid and innovative ideas. You could have the next big product on your hands, or come up with a home remedy with the potential to change lives.

Pisces

You need some playtime, but you may find that it is impossible to pull yourself away from work, chores and duties right now. A friend may be trying to encourage you to "run away from home", but their motivation is a little selfish - they want your company.

25-08-2017

Aries

Today is not the best day to be making big financial decisions. You may feel confused or uncertain, and will lack focus or direction. Put off any risky decisions until you feel more clear and certain, or until you have better advice.

Taurus

There are changes coming in your family. Someone may be pregnant, or is about to announce an adoption has finally come through. The energy is warm and forgiving right now. If you are estranged from a loved one, this may be the perfect day to call up to make amends.

Gemini

Never mind what your friends, siblings and companions think, you are going to do your own thing, right? Well, maybe they have some ideas that would be helpful to you, and maybe you are being just a wee bit stubborn about taking their suggestions to heart right now.

Cancer

Your work related fears and anxieties are likely not as reality-based as you think. You are blowing small problems out of proportion and ignoring some very good news. Focus on the positives right now - they will help you perform better and drag you out of the funk you are heading for.

Leo

Someone you look upon as an authority figure can help you financially or in your career ambitions for the future. You may find that there are hidden strings attached though, so make sure that you are careful to outline al the responsibilities and rewards clearly.

Virgo

Others are not terribly supportive of your world domination plans right now. It's not like they don't want more money, who doesn't? But they would really rather have you, fully present and in the moment, even if only for a few hours right now. Give them the gift of your undivided attention.

Libra

You are in a mood to play and have some fun, but if you want any company, you must take on a leadership role and get everyone organized and ready to go. People will be energized and hyperactive, and will be hard to keep motivated in the same direction.

Scorpio

Money matters are a bone of contention right now, especially if you owe anyone any money. They may be seeking a reassurance that you can repay. You do have support from long-term aspects, any issues that come up right now should be minor and short-term.

Sagittarius

Someone is trying to sell you the proverbial "snake oil" right now. It's most likely to take the form of some kind of alternative therapy that makes a lot of claims but has little research or track record behind it. Buyer beware! Don't let a slick sales pitch appeal to your ego.

Capricorn

You will be learning, teaching or sharing with others right now when you accidentally stumble into some profound thought. You may be able to help others by helping yourself in a lesson that involves deep compassion, forgiveness and understanding.

Aquarius

You may find that there are roadblocks, detours and a lot of road rage to deal with on the way to and from work right now. Bring along some water, turn the radio dial to the local news and traffic radio station, and remember to breathe deeply when you are inevitably cut off by a thoughtless driver right now.

Pisces

An investment in your education or in a trip for educational purposes may turn out to be a much better way to spend your money and time than you thought. Even if you are unable to go back to school, you can still spend some time online or at the library brushing up on your knowledge.

26-08-2017

Aries

You may find new and exciting partner or potential partner in the workplace. If you are already in a relationship, this may take the form of a friendship instead of a romance. You want to look for people who are not unusual or outside of your normal range of experience or interest. It is time to broaden your horizons.

Taurus

Home-based business opportunities will bring in money and contacts with the creative people you need to pursue your dreams. But the people you work or live with are a little unstable and erratic right now. They are easily distracted by shiny baubles, a fact you can use to your own benefit.

Gemini

If you were thinking of making a new investment in your home, it will be a great day to check out home improvement supplies. Some extra cash will come in handy to improve your living conditions. You may have to go out of your way to find the right contractor, though. Be careful in your selection.

Cancer

Romance is the flavour if the moment. You may want to get a bit carried away by flowers, hearts and unicorns but keep one foot on the ground. You may be floating on clouds and you need to keep at least one toe in the ground.

Leo

You are out of focus at the moment, and that is why you feel uncertain about taking a leadership role in your spiritual community. You need advice and guidance from others who have been in a similar situation. Don't be afraid to reach out for some help.

Virgo

If you are thinking of going back to school, ask a friend to come along with you. It could make the experience much richer and significantly more rewarding for you both. You will learn as much about each other as you do from the courses you take.

Libra

You'll know just what to say right now to someone in your family or circle of loved ones who is coming off as more than a little bit judgmental. You can point out that spiritual growth does not always mean spiritual perfection. We all have faults.

Scorpio

This is a good day for goofing off, procrastinating, or simply forgetting to do the daily chores. Everyone deserves a break now and then, and you are likely to hit your thumb with a hammer right now anyway. Proceed on any risky chores with extra care.

Sagittarius

Your physical energy is very high, and normally that would be a good thing, but your mental energies are scattered and that could make for some moments of anxiety. You may also have some problems with some cranky or uncooperative communications devices.

Capricorn

If you are feeling a bit down right now, look to younger members of your family or in your circle of friends. Older relatives and parents especially will tend to be a bit on the dour or contentious side. You may have some unexpected good news for one of them, however.

Aquarius

You may benefit from innovative or unusual investment advice from a family member. A sudden change in your home or real estate investments could bring financial rewards. But you could find friends are hanging around with their hands out if they hear of a windfall.

Pisces

Romance and friendship bring both challenges and opportunities right now. You may get a long-held wish, but discover that you do have to make a great many adjustments in order to make things work. Remember to be patient and understanding - especially with yourself.

27-08-2017

Aries

You need to focus your financial energies on paying down bills, and setting money aside for savings, but your impulses right now will be to do the opposite. You will want to spend, spend, spend. That would be about the worst way to spend the day - you will find that huge bargain is no bargain.

Taurus

You have worries or concerns about a friend's financial well-being early right now. By the mid afternoon, you will probably discover that everyone was worked up for nothing, and you can enjoy your day. Even if there are challenges, there is nothing you can do right now - might as well enjoy yourselves!

Gemini

Don't get into a disagreement with a friend right now. The issues will be shallow and the argument may seem pointless later on. You will be able to save face by retreating with grace and good humor. Keep away from the guaranteed "hot buttons" of sex, politics and religion.

Cancer

If you are not single, you and your significant other need some time alone together. If you are single, you need to spend some time on your neglected love life. Either way, you won't get what you need if you spend all day on the cell phone. Put it in a drawer and go have some fun.

Leo

Family responsibilities may take the joy out of some planned recreation or sporting activity you had planned right now - but only if you allow it. You can integrate the two, and bring along your elder relative to the big game, or out for some fun at the bingo parlor.

Virgo

Your career prospects are looking up right now. Someone in a position of power or authority may find you attractive in more than just a career sense. Be careful if you are tempted to mix work and pleasure where the power balance is uneven. That can be dangerous.

Libra

Your intuition is off the mark right now. You may feel like you are seeing things clearly, but that is not likely the case. Double-check your paperwork, facts, or research before offering opinions. You may come to regret hasty assessments that later on are challenged.

Scorpio

An official or authority figure gets in your face right now, making strange demands or requests you don't understand. If you are patient, you will be able to turn an unpleasant or confusing encounter into something positive. Pushing for reform in your health plan could bring rewards.

Sagittarius

You could be having some strange but interesting spiritual experiences right now. You may have a breakthrough inspiration, an idea that comes to you after a long period of confusion, thought, meditation and consideration. You may say to yourself "Why didn't I think of this before?"

Capricorn

If you want to get along with your significant other right now, keep the conversation away from debts, savings plans, and shared assets, especially the budget. You will both be highly sensitive on the topic of who is spending what and where.

Aquarius

The office politics will be interesting right now, but the battle could get deadly if the territory turns to the gender wars. It is a good idea to stay focused strictly on business. A friend may call up with some exciting news that proves soothing.

Pisces

Someone may introduce you to a new sport or hobby, but there are dangers. First of all, it's likely to be expensive. Second of all, you may find that it is a lot harder to master than you anticipated. You should also be careful to avoid anything too "rough and tumble".

28-08-2017

Aries

A friend may call up and invite, or rather demand, your presence at some kind of outing. If you can afford it, by all means, go, but if the price is too dear, don't be afraid to demure. True friends do understand that "I can't afford it" means just that.

Taurus

Talking with friends and family and networking with close coworkers and associates could lead you to money-making opportunities and lucky breaks that you might otherwise have missed. Keep your eyes peeled! Avoid getting too wrapped up in a political or investment argument right now.

Gemini

Your subconscious mind is getting in the way of your best interests right now. You may feel that the strange encounters you have with authority figures are a "bad karma" situation, but in some way you are acting as your own worst enemy. When you figure that out, things will improve.

Cancer

You and your partner or mate have to talk about the old homestead, or about some family problems one of you is having. Someone's parents are downright cranky. If you are single and meet someone new, get to meet the parents before you start getting serious. It could be the "Addams Family" hiding in the wings.

Leo

You have to make an important decision that can affect your most important relationships right now. Will you press forward with your own needs or make a challenging compromise? There is no right or wrong decision. If you can't decide, do what seems the hardest or more challening option.

Virgo

Someone in your life needs your leadership, but the best kind of leader teaches by example. If you do decide to mentor someone, show them how. They already know what the problem is, what they need to figure out is their next step. Help them figure it out for themselves.

Libra

You want nothing more than to toss your paperwork in the air and walk away for good, but that's not practical. What you can do is push it to the side of your desk, push the chair back, and take a long walk during break time. It could work wonders.

Scorpio

You will have a happier and more harmonious day right now if you avoid getting into political, spiritual or financial arguments with a friend or companion. They may be acting like and opinionated so and so right now, but you won't have the energy to argue with them.

Sagittarius

You may be making or spending money right now, and you will have a lot more enthusiasm for shopping than normal. Just keep your eye on the budget, especially if you are tempted by sporting goods, exercise equipment or a new automobile. Get the extended warrantee.

Capricorn

You have decided to take charge in a "situation" between two friends whose heads seem to need knocking together. You may have a better effect just by showing up, rather than making the over the top "get your acts together" speech you have been planning.

Aquarius

You may be tempted to celebrate some recent wins in the game of life with some wild and expensive celebrations. Be extra careful. Self-indulgence could come back to haunt you. A simpler, more creative but frugal celebration could actually be a lot more fun.

Pisces

You can have a lot of fun on the phone right now. People will be calling you with all kinds of fun and interesting news. Someone wants to talk about a new baby, or about starting a new family. Someone else wants to brag about their little one's musical accomplishments.

29-08-2017

Aries

An old friend or acquaintance could come bearing gifts or good news. You may want to set aside some time for a long delayed family gathering. Someone in your family may have news about a wedding, divorce or addition to your family tree.

Taurus

You'll be having rapidly-changing mood swings right now, triggered by a friendship or association. You have great good news coming in this area, yet your emotions are confused and chaotic. You may have to take a few "time out" moments right now to sort out your feelings.

Gemini

You have decided to take charge in a "situation" between two friends whose heads seem to need knocking together. You may have a better effect just by showing up, rather than making the over the top "get your acts together" speech you have been planning.

Cancer

You may spend a lot of time thinking about money right now, but not a lot of time actually doing much about getting more of it. You may feel stuck or stymied by the fact that money seems to be coming in about as fast as it is going out. This is not a day to struggle to get ahead.

Leo

You have a strongly attractive aspect in the "mate and partner" sector. People won't be throwing themselves at you, but you are definitely putting out scent. If you are with someone, expect a hot and heavy evening. If not, get out to an art gallery opening or musical play and make it obvious you are alone.

Virgo

You will find yourself in a new career position as a result of some action or project you are undertaking. Don't be afraid to pitch your wild and dramatic ideas, that's what can get you noticed right now. You are heading off to do corporate battle.

Libra

This is probably not a good day to make or plan huge changes to your finances or investments. You'll be acting dreamy and unfocused, but you'll be motivated by events in or related to your workplace or daily habits that push you to change things in a radical way.

Scorpio

You may be strongly drawn to share some of your recent spiritual insights with loved ones and relatives. They will be pleased to learn how profoundly changed you are as a result of some of the study, prayer, or meditation you have indulged in lately.

Sagittarius

You are seeking important answers right now and will likely be spending a lot of time researching, studying and surfing the Internet. You could find the answer to a long-held secret that makes a profound and important impact on your lifestyle and beliefs.

Capricorn

You will feel a lot more energetic, enthusiastic and confident right now. If you are still single, you might want to consider taking in a sporting event, or getting out for a walk in the park where you can meet new people who share your interests.

Aquarius

Your love life seems to have more twists and turns than a gothic romance novel. What looked so warm and romantic yesterday seems to be terrifically challenging right now. Keep your hat on. Things may not be what they appear. A little dust-up might actually be helpful, long-term.

Pisces

If you feel that your career has become boring lately, get everyone in the workplace together for a brainstorming session. Make it as creative as possible. Set it up sort of like a silent auction. Have everyone write ideas on business cards, toss them in a hat, and pull them out one at a time.

30-08-2017

Aries

A little unexpected free time could give you am opportunity to read, write, or just clear your mind. You may consider taking some time to meditate or catch up on old emails. An old friend may be popping in for an unexpected visit sooner than you think.

Taurus

A secret could be revealed right now that opens the doorway to career and social opportunities. Listen to the older people in your social circle, who know how to make important connections. You may overhear something while networking or gossiping that leads to positive changes.

Gemini

Your intuition could help you resolve a sudden challenge in a way that improves your life and self-esteem. The challenge will be to accept new ideas that force you to confront some long-held anxieties or issues from your childhood or teenage years.

Cancer

If you are settled into a committed relationship you may be discussing parenthood right now. If not, there is an opportunity for you to express your creative skills or talents. You may find that family members or social authority figures are not terribly supportive.

Leo

You may find that you have unusually good luck with money right now. You may discover change in the laundry or win a small lottery sum, or it may just be that someone comes along with some incredibly good ideas or financial advice when it was most needed.

Virgo

If you are single, this is not the best day to get out to meet new people. The people you meet will be strange or dysfunctional in some way. If you are not single, you may find yourself win weird arguments with your mate, unless you make a special effort to be patient and understanding.

Libra

You don't want to go to work. You feel a bit fuzzy and muddle-headed for some reason, and you would rather be playing or daydreaming. You have an opportunity to do that later in the day, as there is an event involving creativity or children that will brighten your mood.

Scorpio

You need some fun and distraction right now, but you may be wrapped up in some small injury to your self-esteem. Let go of needing to have everyone love and admire you. The one person who holds you down emotionally right now is surrounded by ten others who think you are the bee's knees.

Sagittarius

You may be getting together unexpectedly with someone who has an exotic secret to share. Your eye will be drawn to unique and unusual works of art, and your attention may be drawn to places or people that are outside your normal sphere of interest.

Capricorn

You may have an argument or disagreement with a family member or employer about your personal appearance or attitude at a recent gathering. Chances are you are taking their well-meaning criticism a little too personally. Think it over again, and you may hear something valuable in their suggestions.

Aquarius

You could have a wonderful chat with an older loved one right now, provided you can stay to topics like learning, teaching or alternative medicines, and away from the hot-button topics like your love life, lifestyle changes or a dramatic transformation in their personal life.

Pisces

You could find that it is hard to communicate with coworkers, clients or suppliers right now. A busy business meeting could be a study in fear, paranoia and irrationality, but if you keep your cool, you may find that there is an opportunity to make an important alliance.

31-08-2017

Aries

A friend or companion may let you down if you are not careful when parsing their investment or financial advice. They may be the CEO of the Really Big Widget Company, but do they know much more than you do about your field of expertise? You might be shocked how little they really do know.

Taurus

You may be tempted to unfriend a coworker, client or associate, but avoid any private back chat, it could come back to haunt you. Your tongue might not be the only one wagging.

Gemini

Watch the news, check the Internet, figure out the facts behind an investment opportunity or new job offer before you commit to a course of action. You may find that not everything is as it was "pitched" in the beginning. There could be unexpected problems.

Cancer

You may be the center of attention in your family right now, but it may not be the kind of attention you want. You might find it prudent to avoid someone who has been hypercritical or reactive lately. They are likely to be a "handful" right now.

Leo

An opportunity to greatly boost your social profile will be complicated only by self-doubt or some jealous coworkers who wanted the nifty "perks" you are likely to be handed right now. Keep your head up and do what you can to spread around the good fortune.

Virgo

There will be sudden and unexpected insights right now. You are thinking about making a dramatic change to your home, and could find yourself spending a lot of time at the local hardware store. Just be careful to take extra care with fuses and electrical circuits.

Libra

You will have a lot of changing and contradictory opinions right now, particularly where it comes to finances and investments. You'll have a lot to think about there, because someone in your workplace is giving you some tips that may be pretty risky.

Scorpio

You may be considering writing some kind of creative tutorial. Other people who share your interests could be helpful in resolving a problem related to communication. Someone might be willing to trade expertise or time in exchange for your talents.

Sagittarius

This is not a good day to confront a friend or companion about their poor parenting skills or lack of creative talents. There could be an emotional explosion on the level of Hiroshima. Your social associates will definitely be "touchy" right now.

Capricorn

Family members may not be terribly supportive right now, especially if you are hoping for financial assistance. It will likely turn out you don't need their help, anyway. There will be other opportunities for you to make headway on your own.

Aquarius

Your intuition is much better right now, especially where it comes to bargain-hunting and financial issues. You have profound insights about your religious  or spiritual beliefs right now that are making you reconsider your personal and social values.

Pisces

You are absolutely gorgeous, did you know that? If you didn't before right now, you will now. People are definitely noticing you. Just watch out that all the extra attention you are getting does not go to your head. Remember, innocence is more charming than arrogance.
