Your Daily Horoscope
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2015 Do they know the real you? The opposition of Mercury and Neptune pulls between the real and the ideal. Maybe you haven’t been entirely honest, choosing to be nice when that’s not how you really felt. That shows your nobility and good manners, not your truth. Seize the opportunity to introduce a more realistic version of you.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 12). It’s one of your more prolific years, and you will fill the world with your works. Your talent for attracting excellence will have you standing in the winner’s circle. October travel will thrill you. November changes up your personal life, and your efforts to make your heart happy again will yield fulfilling results. Capricorn and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 30, 14, 36 and 44.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Recent dramatic events might be fresh on your mind, but if they involve anything negative, especially someone treating you wrong, ditch the topic for something more cheerful.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Everyone has to agree before the project can really take off. Who hasn’t given their consent yet? You thought you could go on without this, and you could, but awkwardly and without momentum.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The time you spend trying out different ways of doing things may seem to be a waste, but really it’s not. You can only find a good system through trial. There will be a few errors before you find success.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re busy, but try to calm down, because the ones who threaten to use up your precious minutes actually have something important to say, and once you slow your roll, you’ll hear it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll experience a taste of a culture that is decidedly not for you. However, you can still appreciate how the others relate in spite of this. You can see why they need it. Your relationships are stronger through understanding.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Create a mental bubble around yourself to block out anyone who is trying to rush you, push you or change your natural rhythm in any way. Slow and deliberate action will take you far.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Instead of adapting to the environment, consider that the environment might be richer and better if you were to create your own niche inside of it. The environment actually needs you to be yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A switcheroo is featured. The path you thought would be such an exciting ride now feels like quicksand; whereas, the thing you were resistant to now seems buoyant, exciting and so right.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The question they always ask right before the exciting part of the plot is: What could go wrong? This question tips the audience that the ride is about to get bumpy. Also it’s why you’re white-knuckled for part of today.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It doesn’t take a very clever person to recognize a very clever person. However, when clever people do connect -- and you will today -- it is most satisfying to be validated at the deeper levels.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Question each option, but not endlessly. The best questions to ask are: Is it morally sound? Intriguing? So me? Am I likely to enjoy it enough to stick with it?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The first thought bubble of the morning will keep haunting you all day long unless you take care of it. Depending on what this thought is, it could be a rather pleasant haunting.
