Horoscopes: Sunday, Aug. 25, 2024

ARIES (March 21-April 19). As an adept conversationalist, you won’t try to control the conversation, but rather you’ll merely steer it to feel-good topics and hope for the best. You’ll listen and learn, giving yourself an advantage over those who merely talk.       

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Since there are exciting things going on for you, you cherish, and indeed require, the space to process and recuperate. You’ll find peace in humble, quiet scenes and be restored in stillness and solitude.       

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Put your worry in a box, tape it up, and get on with the business of handling the unboxed things — which is everything else. Compartmentalizing a few things lets you enjoy the rest freely.   

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Love in a relationship will be your rock. You can’t go wrong giving top priority to the people who bring you great joy. Stay close through the storms and the calm. In the end, it’s the simple, steadfast moments that matter most.       

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Important work will be driven by deadlines, which doesn’t feel great, but stress gets things done. This is why they call it a dead line and not an alive line, implying that the project will only go on if it’s turned in by a certain time.       

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you don’t feel love, you can’t seem to find it anywhere. And when you feel love, it seems to fill the entire world. The grass sings love songs to the sun; the sky and mountains embrace. That’s how it is today.       

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have an excellent sense for the motivation and intentions of others. They don’t have to say much before you’ve already figured out their goal. Even when they think they are acting unintentionally, you know what they want.       

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People talk. There’s no choice you make that won’t be mentioned in some way, so make decisions you can stand behind with pride, regardless of the chatter. Own your choice and move forward with self-assuredness.       

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Relationships and circumstances in opposition to your goal have come to a standstill. Lack of common interests will do that, and in this case, it’s a welcome sign of progress. It’s small, emotional in nature, and it couldn’t happen on any other day.       

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s important to push yourself. Your motivation will match your intention. When your intention is to do something a little difficult, your motivation will rev up to meet the challenge.     

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Feel your way forward and you’ll be lucky. Thinking your way forward is less auspicious. The future never arrives, but as long as it doesn’t abandon us completely, we still love it. It’s the hopeful presence that keeps us dreaming and marching on.       

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Today you feel like an ordinary person doing extraordinary things, and this is far better than the reverse. It’s beautiful to have a sense of belonging, humility and companionship.       

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 25). Those near and dear to your heart will inspire your best moves and spark your most cherished moments in this year of celebrating relationships. More highlights: An “in” to a group of professionals will put you ahead of a game. You’ll be brilliant and lucky as you network. You’ll hustle, create, market, and live a lifestyle that sustains the kind of work you want to do. Scorpio and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 1, 11, 14 and 20.
