General Daily Insight for August 24, 2021
Our emotions can rule the day as the sensitive Moon’s conjunction with dreamy Neptune prevents us from seeing clearly. Once the Moon sextiles transformative Pluto, we’re forced to see what’s really going on in order to live more vibrantly. The Moon then enters headstrong Aries, giving us an extra boost of self-confidence and strength. As long as we take baby steps, the disillusioning effect of intellectual Mercury opposite Neptune at 9:14 pm EDT won’t stop us from following our dreams.

Aries
March 21-April 19
Energy can be low and time can be short now, so manage your expectations when you’re making plans. There may be many people telling you to push ahead with several different opportunities, but don’t feel bad about being picky. Ask yourself what you want most, whether it’s time with someone special or space to work on that project that’s been lingering in your mind. Don’t feel like you have to do everything at once — instead, prioritize and make life happen on your time.
Taurus
April 20-May 20
You may have been feeling directionless lately, and the well-meaning people that have tried to guide you seem to only be leading you further into confusion. Sometimes this simply means that you’re not meant to be moving forward — that you’re meant to enjoy your life as it is right now. Try to stop and smell the roses as you make your way through life today, without a strong plan to adhere to. Turning to your intuition can help you find the right way forward.
Gemini
May 21-June 20
This is not the time to make large career decisions. You might feel tempted to take a big leap when it comes to your job situation, however, you may not be seeing the situation clearly. Miscommunications or misprints can throw you off in the workplace, and you will need to just focus on the day-to-day responsibilities in order to stay on track. Avoid job interviews or signing new contracts if possible, because they may not be presenting your new situation in its entirety.
Cancer
June 21-July 22
Sometimes a change of scenery is all that you need. Getting out of your comfort zone doesn’t have to be permanent to help you think more clearly. Someone may offer to take you out of your usual routine today, and while this isn’t an invitation to shirk all your duties, you may be able to let one of your regular responsibilities slide in order to free your mind. Everything doesn’t have to be hard and dutiful work — let yourself relax a little.
Leo
July 23-August 22
Money can be deceiving now. While this could be your own financial situation or someone else’s, you’ve got to stay on top of it in order to find success. Although someone may try to entice you with better pay or more perks, ultimately, it’s likely not all that they’re promising it is. This could be a job offer or a romantic proposition, but it’s better to stick with what you already have for now. The grass probably isn’t greener on the other side, no matter what they’re proposing.
Virgo
August 23-September 22
It can be especially challenging for you to communicate with others today, and vice versa. You may get some funny looks when you try to express yourself, but don’t let this get you down. Stick with what you know and try to get your thoughts across as clearly as possible. Think through what you say before you say it. Explaining topics you’re not familiar with probably isn’t the best way to go, so let others take the reins if you need them to.
Libra
September 23-October 22
Family may step in to help you out now. Whether this is your biological family or just people that are emotionally close to you, this support can make you feel safer when things seem too difficult to handle. It’s not always easy to let others jump in and help, but sometimes you need a break from making all the decisions on your own. Find a balance between maintaining your boundaries and letting loved ones in to assist.
Scorpio
October 23-November 21
The advice you receive today may not actually be based on what’s going on in your life. The people around you could really be in their own heads, and despite their desires to help you out, they might be projecting more than they realize. Even if they say they know what’s best for you, if it doesn’t feel like their suggestions are right for you, stay strong. Let them down gently, but don’t feel as if you have to follow every piece of advice given to you.
Sagittarius
November 22-December 21
You might be feeling like the rope in a game of tug-of-war. This could be two people fighting over your affections or two people in charge trying to influence your choices, but either way, it can feel like you’re between a rock and a hard place trying to please everyone. Instead of taking on all of this by yourself, realize that they shouldn’t be so invested in your choices anyway. You’re your own person and you can decide who to agree with, or to even pick a third option.
Capricorn
December 22-January 19
Be honest with yourself about the changes that you’re experiencing. You might be of two separate minds right now, listening to both the past you and the present you, but they may not be getting along. If you’re pushing yourself to stay in a stagnant place while simultaneously trying to be who you currently are, you’ll end up feeling unfulfilled. Spend some quiet time today getting in touch with your current thoughts and desires and letting go of the past.
Aquarius
January 20-February 18
Even if you’re the type to invest in your future and think several steps ahead, you may not be able to see these steps as well as you think you can. Not to mention, keeping your mind in the future can create a wall between you and what’s really going on right now, so find a way to bring your thoughts back to the present moment. Trade out the long term for the short term when making decisions.
Pisces
February 19-March 20
You’re moving from a place of sensitivity to a place of security now. It’s possible you have been deriving your worth from a secondary source that’s no longer giving you the support that you need, so you’re now looking for stronger and more level ground to stand on. While at first it may feel a little shaky, you’ll be able to depend on yourself more once you realize that you’re doing better than you think. There’s nothing wrong with boosting your own confidence.
