General Daily Insight for August 21, 2021
We’ve got to look before we leap, even if the urge to leap is strong. The emotional Moon’s square to rebellious Uranus at 6:12 am EDT colors the day with reckless energy. With the Moon in offbeat Aquarius and Uranus in stubborn Taurus, we might feel pulled in two directions that seem equally erratic, and the urge to act out of character is likely for even the steadiest of people. It’s best to wait until this nervous energy dissipates before making any decisions.

Aries
March 21-April 19
Impulse buys are a pitfall you’ll want to swerve around today. It might be wisest to avoid browsing through your favorite internet shops or stay out of your preferred stores altogether, because you could fill up your shopping cart and spend your whole paycheck before you know what’s happened. Friends can even send you links to these temptations, so if there’s something you’re saving for, stay strong and stick to the budget you set for yourself.
Taurus
April 20-May 20
Watch out for stubbornness, because it can block your blessings. There may be a certain way that you like to do things, but being so firm in your ways could prevent you from getting the best outcome. There might be more than one person trying to convince you of a better way to do things, and if they seem to be in agreement, just hear them out. They very likely want the best for you, and they may see something that your blinders are preventing.
Gemini
May 21-June 20
You may not be able to see the whole picture from your vantage point at the moment. Perhaps you hear just a piece of the story, or see something that seems to have a certain meaning, but you can’t tell what’s going on from the information that you have. It’s a good idea to wait until more information trickles in before you make a decision about what someone’s intentions are. Acting too rashly will likely result in conflict that you don’t need.
Cancer
June 21-July 22
Where you put your trust may be up for a change. Whether this is trust in the people around you or in ideas that you’ve believed in in the past, if it isn’t serving you well now, it’s time to place it somewhere else. Sometimes this can be hard to let go of, and it’s OK to do it gradually. Rash actions aren’t likely to benefit anyone, especially not you, so take your time and be gentle as you release.
Leo
July 23-August 22
It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission, but it’s kinder to ask for permission. Especially now, be sure to ask before making a decision that will affect someone else, because others are likely to be more sensitive and on-edge. At the time, you might think that what you’re doing will benefit everyone, but they may not feel the same way. While you’re going through your errands and tasks, make sure that what you’re doing won’t offend someone else.
Virgo
August 23-September 22
What you’re preaching right now may not apply to the people around you. Your keen eye can see the flaws in both your own plans and in others’, and while advice might be springing forth from your lips, this can do more harm than good. Relationships could be strained if people feel that you’re passing judgment on their best efforts. Make sure that others are actually looking for your perspective before you give it to them voluntarily.
Libra
September 23-October 22
You could feel tempted to give up today before you’ve given it your best shot. There may be a project you’re working on that’s not quite turning out in the way you were hoping, or a relationship that’s just begun that’s beginning to put you off. Instead of throwing out everything because it’s not turning out perfectly, step back from it for now, and see if you can’t salvage it with fresh eyes next week. There’s a chance that you’re just not seeing things clearly at the moment.
Scorpio
October 23-November 21
Your emotions might be out of whack today due to someone insisting it’s their way or the highway. Still, fighting back won’t work as well as compromising. While they might be in the wrong, matching their energy will only result in more tension between the two of you. You might as well lose the battle in order to win the war, because odds are, the other person will realize they were in the wrong on their own. Be the bigger person now, for your sake.
Sagittarius
November 22-December 21
Someone may not follow through on their word, creating difficulties for you. It would be wise to get all your ducks in a row at the start of the day, because you might end up cleaning up after someone else in order to keep everything running smoothly for both you and them. This can be frustrating, but you’ve got the know-how to make sure everything works out. Try not to look at it as a disadvantage, because after this, at least they’ll owe you a favor!
Capricorn
December 22-January 19
You may have a wonderful opportunity to enjoy yourself today, but feel you need to pass on it so you don’t look silly in front of people you wish to impress. First, make sure these are people that you want to impress for a real reason. You may come to find you have actually been judging yourself, but blaming these critical views on them. Ultimately, life is short, so if you want to have fun, then have fun!
Aquarius
January 20-February 18
Once you cast off the weights of the past, you can enjoy yourself more freely in the future. Old grudges may rear their heads today, trying to force you to let them bring you down, but there’s no reason to let them take over like that. The past is over now, and while you may never fully forget, there’s too much life to live to let bad memories force you into the shadows. Let this old energy fall behind you.
Pisces
February 19-March 20
Speaking from the heart could lead to confusion rather than understanding today. You may feel a strong need to express yourself to someone in your life, but the words are more likely to come out in a big jumble instead of in the eloquent speech you want to give. You might very well have something important to say, but if it can wait until later, it’s best to spend the day figuring out how you want to say it rather than jumping straight into speaking.
