Horoscope today: Your daily guide for Friday, August 23, 2024

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Not only are you usually the first to air your views about even tricky matters, the clarity with which you express your thoughts and feelings guides others into the process of exploring their feelings. Helpful as that’s been, avoid discussing the certain matters with others. They’ll have more to say than your ready to hear.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

As a Taurus, and being ruled by the gracious planet Venus, you’ve a talent for sidestepping what could be exceptionally tricky discussions. However, several matters not only need to be discussed soon, the exchange of ideas also needs to include certain tricky issues. It won’t be easy but it will be worthwhile.

Gemini ( May 21 – June 20)

Not only are you able to spot and deal with potential problems before others even realise they’ll need to be dealt with, you’d rather tackle them on your own. Why? You avoid the well-meaning advice that, inevitably, others will offer. Still, listen to what they have to say. It may surprise you.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Long ago, you realised that no matter how carefully you suggest certain changes, including those that are overdue, there will still be a series of complaints if not straightforward objections. Listen to these intently, then proceed as you intended. Gradually you’ll realise that everybody’s relieved that you did.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Only days ago you were discussing what others find difficult, if not overwhelming, versus those situations you regard as more of a welcome challenge. This is very much a part of your nature, as a courageous Leo. While others may seek your guidance, it can’t be taught. It’s something you’re born with.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

As a Virgo, long ago you realised that while certain individuals share your gift for spotting and, when wise, avoiding potentially tricky situations, not everybody notices — or even notices these issues. Knowing that, when making plans with others, give careful thought to their approach to matters of this nature.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Most of the time, your ability to stand your ground yet make it appear as if you’re going along with others’ plans and priorities is a gift. Now, however, it seems to be leading to complications — some an increasing source of concern. Final arrangements? Actually, they’re not that urgent. Take things slowly.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Only days ago, you were telling others how relieved you were that at long last you’d found a solution for certain complex issues. While at the time that seemed to be the case, since then it’s become clear you neglected to tackle other, less obvious, difficulties. The sooner you deal with these, the better.

Sagittarius ( November 22 – December 21)

While you are by no means fixed in your thinking or your approach to changes, you also rely on past experiences to guide existing and future plans. However, with so much in transition you’ve found yourself in new and unfamiliar territory. Knowing that, plunge in. Details? You can refine them later.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Long ago you realised that, tempting as it is to put off dealing with important details, even if you do nothing you’ll still find yourself worrying about them. This is the reason you focus on getting as much organised as you can. That, in turn, will lead to better plans for the long term as well.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

For ages you’ve been trying to find a way to point out that certain once-rewarding arrangements are becoming increasingly disruptive and are getting worse by the day. Tempting as it is to find a workable solution on your own, this will require teamwork. And the sooner you get others involved, the better.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

For ages you’ve been saying to yourself and telling others that you need to break from certain increasingly demanding arrangements. But every time you begin, a strange destiny draws you back into the same situation. The solution? Seek help from a clear-minded friend. Their support will make a huge difference.

If it's your birthday on...

Saturday

For ages you’ve intended to conduct a serious edit of certain increasingly demanding elements of your life that have become too predictable, if not just plain dull. True, you won’t always recognise why certain arrangements should go, at least initially. Now that time has come.

Sunday

Once you understand today is about changes, some expected and many welcome, you’ll be easygoing about the ongoing twists and turns you’re facing. The secret? Learn from the unexpected, but be ready for yet more surprises. They’ll delight and mystify you.

Monday

Good luck comes in a wide range of forms, enough that what’s most promising or rewarding isn’t always easy to spot. Focus on exploring every idea, offer or opportunity that comes your way and be prepared to venture into unfamiliar territory. The more prepared you are, the more amazing the results will be.
