HOROSCOPES: AUGUST 14, 2018
MOON ALERT: We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The moon is in Libra.
IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Actress Mila Kunis (1983) shares your birthday today. You’re a great communicator. You’re quick, alert and witty. Service to others will be your theme this year. Focus on your responsibilities to family as well as yourself. Take care of yourself so that you are a strong resource. Nurture relationships you value. Meanwhile, explore the arts, enroll in a class. Personalize your home with treasures that have meaning for you.
Aries (March 21-April 19): This is a wonderful day to socialize with friends, partners and members of the general public. You will enjoy the company of someone in particular, and they will be happy to see you. (This includes old flames who are back in the picture.) Activities with sports and children are appealing!
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Relations with co-workers are positive today. Expect praise and possibly a raise. Meanwhile, conversations with family members, perhaps about DIY projects at home, are busy, upbeat and positive.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Romance will flourish today! It’s a lovely day for a date or a social occasion. Enjoy a long lunch, happy hour or a fun get-together this evening. You have lots of energy to schmooze, which makes it the perfect day to socialize. Catch up on old times with siblings and relatives.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): This is a great day for a family discussion. It’s also a good day to shop for something beautiful for home or family. All these great vibes make it a wonderful day to entertain at home. (There will likely be a discussion about how to make more money.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): This is a busy social day! Enjoy talking to friends, acquaintances and neighbors. Expect to hear news through letters and phone calls because information is flowing! This is a strong day for those who write, market, sell, teach or act because you can make money from your words!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This is a money day for you. Trust your moneymaking ideas. However, you are also interested in spending money today. If you shop, you will likely spend more than you originally intended because an overindulgence in many things — including food and drink — is too hard to resist. “Gotta have it!”
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Today the moon is in your sign lined up with your ruler, fair Venus. It doesn’t get much better than this. In addition, this lovely combo is dancing with retrograde Mercury. The upshot is that you can work a room and schmooze like a pro. (Actually, this is nothing new.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You will enjoy solitude in beautiful surroundings today because you will feel most comfortable working behind the scenes. Nevertheless, you will communicate to bosses, parents and people in authority with interest and enthusiasm. They will reply in kind. Use your influence to help someone.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Warm relations with someone today, probably a female friend or acquaintance, might lead to future opportunities for you to travel or explore avenues in publishing, the media, higher education, medicine or the law. Someone will assist you in a positive way today.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This is the perfect day to ask a boss, parent or someone in authority for something. The odds are favorable that you will get a yes answer. Others find you to be charming and confident, which is why doors will open to you so that you have access to the resources of wealth of others. Ka-ching!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might develop a crush on someone “different” today because you are attracted to foreign countries, exotic situations and anything stimulating or unusual. Opportunities to travel might come your way, especially through your partner or close friend.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): This is an excellent day to discuss an inheritance or how to share something because, trust me, you will come out smelling like a rose — laughing all the way to the bank! If you want to borrow something from someone today, just ask.
