ARIES (March 21-April 19). Someone you admire holds you to a higher standard. Someone who looks up to you motivates you to lead by example. A competitor ignites your drive to stay sharp. Each person and power dynamic is one to grow from.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Today you’re all about efficiency, economy and the most direct route to your goal. Talking about it feels like a leak; you’d rather channel that energy into action. You’re in motion, and that’s where the magic is.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re tuned in to the vibe, and you also get the undercurrents, which speak to you loud and clear as though they were the headline. This is the talent that shines today, your ability to understand the bottom line.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). A sense of exclusivity will make an experience exciting. Also, you’ll be let in on knowledge that only a select few are privy to. It invites a heightened sense of belonging.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re setting the tone for your environment, even if you’re not in an official leadership role. People are taking their cues from you. If you’re calm and grounded, they feel safer and more at ease, too.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). While smiles and praise feel good, it’s also OK when they’re absent. Without obvious approval, you dig deeper. That’s when you find your true grit. It’s a stronger, more lasting resource, and once you access it, you’re unstoppable.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In some ways you’ve been living in a role that the parent needed, the partner preferred, the culture or job demanded, and maybe it no longer fits. Recognizing this today is brave. It challenges expectations and comfort zones.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re warm. You’re safe. Because of this, you attract orphans and strays — those in need of care, connection or direction. Your circle grows, but it won’t drain you; it will fuel you. The more you give, the more you receive.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In a sense, you want a sparring partner — someone who meets you with equal intensity but, because you’re carrying so much already, without the pressure to reciprocate in a way that strains you. Just knowing this brings the person closer. Soon.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re often called to be creative, to find the opportunity in the challenge, to rise above, all things you do beautifully. Haven’t you earned a break? Here comes a stroke of good luck you don’t have to earn.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The emphasis today is on emotional discipline — knowing what’s necessary and when to give it. Hot emotions need more discretion. Holding back may actually be the stronger, wiser move.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Someone close needs compassion and guidance. You’ve already walked the path they’re just beginning. By helping them, you’ll solidify what you’ve learned — and recognize just how far you’ve come. It’s part of your journey toward mastery.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 21). This trip around the sun brings spontaneity that sparks new relationships, confidence that opens doors, and strategic fun that leads to deals, power moves and sharp positioning. You’ll win a contest. You’ll gain ground where others can’t. A professional leap puts you on a thrilling new path — possibly one that includes international travel or a lucrative surprise. Sagittarius and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 39, 2, 27 and 11.
