General Daily Insight for August 8, 2021
Choosing to set our egos aside helps us make room for stronger emotional cores. Inner change can be difficult, especially as the emotional Moon approaches the end of its current lunar cycle and squares rebellious Uranus. Our inner selves are called to evolve, but it may soon become clear that this change made us stronger. The New Moon in confident Leo at 9:50 am EST invites us to look to our future as leaders, and we are ready to take on whatever life throws our way.

Aries
March 21-April 19
Growing up is a theme for you during this time, and the responsible thing to do may clash with your first instinct. You’ll likely be asked to compromise with someone, and it may require a minor sacrifice, either of your time or money, but rest assured that it is the kind course of action. Instead of feeling like you’re missing out, if you consider it as planting seeds of goodwill that will grow for you over the next month, then what was once a sacrifice becomes a gift to your future self.
Taurus
April 20-May 20
Traditional values may get in the way of your rebellious self-expression. While the nature of this rebellion can be big or small, the person you are now may be deviating from the path that your family set for you, and you’re not sure if you want the comfort of doing what’s always been done or the freedom of striking out on your own. Try and rebel against the norm just a little bit, rather than jumping in feet first — taking small steps makes it easier to find yourself.
Gemini
May 21-June 20
Any worries or fears that suddenly crop up out of nowhere must be quieted so that you can live your life. You may notice an odd anxiety that you don’t normally feel surrounding a speaking opportunity, or you could be nervous about a trip to somewhere you haven’t been yet. Instead of backing down right away, try to power through the nerves — see if you don’t feel more confident after conquering your fears and finding the courage to do what you wanted to do.
Cancer
June 21-July 22
Someone may question you today, but you don’t have to let this evolve into a disagreement. Your methods will never be exactly the same as someone else’s, and while this person may submit their opinion about how you should be living or working, you can take it with a grain of salt. Try not to take what they’re saying as a personal attack, because although this comment may shake your confidence, it is merely a suggestion to be taken or left behind.
Leo
July 23-August 22
Work and other responsibilities can be a challenge, but the more flexible you are, the easier it will be to handle. You may have your specific ways you like to do things, however, these methods might not be achievable under today’s influences. Events that are out of the ordinary are likely to transpire, and you’ll have to think on the fly to figure out how to manage the challenges being thrown your way. You can be strong and willing to try something new at the same time.
Virgo
August 23-September 22
You could be caught between conflicting feelings at the moment, unsure whether to stay or go. This is understandable, so don’t feel like you have to make a decision right away. While it may seem like something urgent, you might not have all the information yet, and it would be beneficial to hold off until you know the full story. You may be getting a chance to start over, but if you’re only running away, it will require more of your time to find closure.
Libra
September 23-October 22
Your loyalties may be shifting in your business relationships, or perhaps you are feeling peer pressure today to do something that doesn’t quite align with who you are. Take your time making any decisions. If there’s an option that you were already leaning toward, there may be something that your intuition knows that you aren’t aware of yet. No matter what others are telling you to do, trust your gut, because it’s steering you in the right direction.
Scorpio
October 23-November 21
Your outlook on success could shift today as someone older or more experienced brings you their story. You may have been defining success as fame or awards, but hearing about someone else’s fortunate experience, or even misfortunate experience, can open your eyes to what you really want your life to look like at the pinnacle. You might realize you don’t want to be surrounded by adoring fans, instead opting for a quiet family life or even skydiving around the world — it’s about what fulfills you!
Sagittarius
November 22-December 21
Old wounds and thoughts of former enemies may still sting at times, but today you are being urged to let go of what’s not serving you. Mentally lingering in a past moment with the people who hurt you may be preventing you from being fully present with the people that you really want to be with now. Be present, even though there may be reminders of bygone times. You’ll make better decisions if firmly rooted in the current moment.
Capricorn
December 22-January 19
An opportunity for you to have fun could arise today, but you may worry you’ll seem silly taking advantage of it. You might make an extra attempt to seem grown up or serious, even though an exciting pastime or party is calling your name. You likely spend enough time being responsible — although letting loose could make you feel a little vulnerable, it’s worth it to enjoy yourself. Chances are, you will look back in the future and be glad you took your chances.
Aquarius
January 20-February 18
You could find that people you once felt at home with are no longer providing that same comfort now. Sometimes though, you have to be the one providing that feeling of safety. If you find that someone who you’ve known to be very stable or on top of things is now beginning to need someone to lean on, it may be time for you to step up and be that person for them. We all need a port in the storm, and it feels good to give back.
Pisces
February 19-March 20
Your energy may be low today and you might not feel like sharing your troubles with others. Still, your friends could surprise you. Even though it’s noble of you to not want to be a burden, sometimes it helps others to feel needed. Instead of trying to look too far into the future and plan or worry about what could happen, take your life one task at a time. Allow yourself to focus on what you’re doing now and ask for what you need in order to succeed.
