Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, August 7th

Although you’re determined to be serious today, it’s too soon to say whether or not you’ll be successful at getting much accomplished. You are quite convincing now, and you may be as good at misleading others as you are in fooling yourself. If someone accepts your optimistic expectations as the truth, you may need to face the music when the facts are discovered. A wiser strategy is to be completely realistic now so you don’t have to backtrack and revise your story later.

You could be hesitant to listen to your instincts today, even if they are telling you to take a chance. Your closest friends may be cheering you forward, yet you don’t trust the positive messages you’re now receiving. Keep in mind that there’s no need to justify your caution to anyone. Just move at your own pace; you already know from prior experience that a slower and steadier approach pays off.

Your key planet Mercury is still tuning into ethereal Neptune, inspiring you to share your spiritual experiences, weave your words into poetic phrases and put a magical spin on nearly everything you say. Fortunately, your idealism goes a long way now toward reestablishing a solid connection with a loved one. However, an underlying tension won’t likely disappear overnight. Do whatever you can to help relieve the stress, but remember that this is an ongoing work in progress.

You often keep your feelings to yourself because you’re afraid of being judged or criticized. Nevertheless, today’s extroverted Sagittarius Moon prompts you to blurt out what’s on your mind without much consideration for the consequences. Pushing through your fears allows you to share your secrets with a trustworthy friend. Still, you’re the only one who can decide how far you want to venture outside of your shell.

You want to be more generous with your affections now that friendly Venus is in demonstrative Leo and the Moon is in optimistic Sagittarius. But Venus’ warmth is somewhat cooled by austere Saturn, making it tougher to connect with others in a lighthearted manner. You can still come through for those you love as long as you concentrate on being real, rather than on being liked.

Your key planet Mercury is preparing to back out of your picky sign and into loud Leo. Thankfully, you’ll still be able to retain your common sense because a practical Venus-Saturn alignment gives you a cool and calm perspective. You don’t have to tell anyone all that you know. Although you like the idea of being open and honest, keeping some things secret can be the most appropriate thing to do. Just don’t let your caution turn into apathy in the process.

Surprisingly, you may be the practical one today because your ruling planet Venus connects with authoritative Saturn, enabling you to see what’s real and what’s an illusion. Although your easygoing charm can disarm others, your pleasant demeanor hides your inner perfectionist, workaholic or curmudgeon. If you concentrate and clearly visualize what you want, you might just find a way to make it happen.

Once you get into your groove today, you’ll be able to accomplish more than you expect. Tying up loose ends feels good and your self-confidence grows with each completed task. Remember, nothing is holding you back now except your own self-limiting fears. Stick to your agenda and continue building momentum throughout the day.

You are able to be very persuasive once the Moon is back in your sign. If you’re passionate in your appeal, you could probably motivate people to go along with your ideas today, whether your perspective is accurate or not. Although you wouldn’t mislead others intentionally, the pictures you now paint with your words can be so pretty that everyone wants to share in your vision. Although telling a tall tale might be more fun, sticking to the facts will keep you out of trouble.

You are inclined to dramatize what you say today, and the ease with which you exaggerate makes it tough for you to be as trustworthy as usual. You can use the expansive nature of the fearless Sagittarius Moon to defend someone who may not be as eloquent as you are. Fortunately, the help you receive from reliable Saturn can keep you on the straight and narrow path. There’s no hurry now; your words carry more weight when you give them time to fully sink in.

Your friends seek out your advice today because the Moon in your 11th House of Dreams and Wishes gives you an optimistic vision of the future. Your strategy may be to focus on the acknowledgment of prosperity rather than the fear of scarcity. Fortunately, you can have a motivational impact on others now if you maintain a positive spin on what’s happening, yet still remember to present both sides of an issue.
