Horoscope today: Daily guide to what the stars have in store for YOU – August 23, 2023

To paraphrase, often, we can’t see the trees for the wood. We see the vastness of a forest and forget that it’s composed of countless different plants and species. 

As the Sun enters Virgo and Mercury turns retrograde, recognising people’s individual qualities enables us to work more collaboratively and successfully. With open‑hearted listening, we can find harmony today. 

Aries 

Mar 21 – Apr 20 

Everyone wants to do the best for themselves and the people they care about. But we don’t always understand our own needs. And suppose we get it wrong and don’t understand what other people need? With just one small, well-intentioned (but ill-informed) error, we could end up making their world even more complicated. It might be easy to overreact today. Whether it involves someone you care about or a saga in your life, a moment of reflection will be beneficial. Take time to make a decision. I’ve got much more to tell you.

Taurus 

Apr 21 – May 21 

All manner of things are justified in the name of progress. Yet all too often, the benefits of ‘the improvement’ are debatable. And change for change’s sake serves no one: what’s the point of mixing things up when there’s no discernible gain? Why are we talking about this? Because I want to separate these kinds of change from the kind that is happening around you. It’s purposeful. It’s decisive. And it has the power to take you where you dream of going. Trust that everything’s moving in the right direction. It is. Worried?

Gemini

 May 22 – June 22 

When we’ve finally got something we want, what else do we need? Well, the ability to keep wanting it is useful! One way to guarantee this is to spend a long time yearning for something. Then, when it finally arrives, we are more likely to appreciate it. With your ruler, Mercury, turning retrograde, it’s time to think about what you want (and don’t want). Will you still focus on what you don’t want once you no longer have it? The power lies in your attitude. Make it positive today. Make the most of your opportunities.

Cancer 

June 23 – July 23

You are aware that something isn’t going the way you’d hoped. What you don’t know is how to set it back on track. It seems the only option is either risky, far-fetched or unlikely to be successful. Yet how much worse can an alternative be? You’re under pressure to maintain an existing arrangement (or to support a situation) simply because that’s the way it has always been done. A pattern has been set. Yet someone has to be creative. In the absence of anyone else, take the lead and follow your intuition. It’s good.

Leo 

July 24 – Aug 23

Shouldn’t you be standing up, raising your head above the parapet and saying something? Isn’t there a point that needs making? Or are you assuming it’s fine for you to sit around twiddling your thumbs, and that the message which needs to be conveyed will simply arrive telepathically in people’s minds? It’s a nice idea. And definitely possible. But rather than take that chance, what’s stopping you from just saying what you need to say? It will (at the very least) ensure someone hears you. This is important. Be bold. I’ve got much more to tell you.

Virgo 

Aug 24 – Sep 23 

With ‘fake news’ and AI, it’s getting more difficult to identify heroes and villains. Remember those old films when the ‘goodies’ wore white and the ‘baddies’ wore black? The stereotyping was questionable but it was simpler back then. In your world now, you’re questioning whether you’ve reached the right conclusion regarding someone’s motives. Have you taken everything into consideration? As the Sun enters your sign, don’t look at someone else and see a villain. Look at yourself and see a hero. Then, be one! Worried?

Libra 

Sep 24 – Oct 23 

Why bother getting concerned about the kind of day that lies before you? What difference will it make if things don’t go as planned? You’re not going to let it affect your mood . . . are you? You’re strong enough to rise above any difficulties and disappointments . . . aren’t you? Life has a way of testing us. If we pass a test, it sets another one. And if we fail? It’s the same! Actually, you look set to do well with your latest challenge. But even if you don’t pass with an A*, there’s no need to worry. Make the most of your opportunities.

Scorpio 

Oct 24 – Nov 22 

We say there’s no such thing as a free lunch because we understand there are strings attached to every relational transaction. By placing ourselves in someone’s debt, we know that we need to return the favour. And however kind-hearted our intentions, on some level, we expect something in return. But that doesn’t mean we’re not generous. Or that doing something for someone else doesn’t make us feel good. It’s in moments of kindness that magic happens. You’ll experience that for yourself today.

Sagittarius 

Nov 23 – Dec 21

In days gone by, some rulers, worried about being poisoned, employed someone to taste their food first. Come to think of it, some crazy power-mongers probably still do that! Yet taking risks is part of life. The chances of eating ‘the wrong thing’ (and getting ill) are small. This forecast isn’t meant to make you worry about what you eat. It’s highlighting the fact that fear, when allowed to get out of control, affects the most mundane aspects of our world. You can keep your worries in perspective today. I’ve got much more to tell you.

Capricorn 

Dec 22 – Jan 20 

it’s easy to think that our world is full of crazy people doing crazy things. Is anyone in full possession of their mental faculties? Actually, the craziest people of all are the ones who think they’re in full control and coping with everything! Quite simply, it seems there’s no ‘sense’ to make sense of! Stop worrying about whether what you’re doing makes sense today. Far more important is whether you’re enjoying what you’re doing. With a positive attitude, everything will fall very nicely into place. Worried?

Aquarius 

Jan 21 – Feb 19

You might not be able to sort everything out today. But, if you’re honest about how frustrated you’re feeling, you’ll make progress. We’re under such pressure to be OK that we tend to hide our dissatisfaction. Yet by recognising our less-than-desirable feelings, we bring them into the open and somehow, like washing hanging on a line, they respond to the airing and transform. If you acknowledge your true feelings, you can find a way to defuse a tricky situation in a satisfying way. Make the most of your opportunities.

Pisces 

Feb 20 – Mar 20

The fact that other people admire (and are envious of) your skills and abilities doesn’t mean you fully appreciate your talents. And telling yourself that you ‘should’ feel good, just because other folk in your situation would be feeling good, doesn’t do much to improve your mood. You can’t satisfy your thirst with a drink that someone else drank. Nor can you take someone else’s positivity and make it your own. But today, as the Sun enters your opposite sign, if you’re as enthusiastic as you can be, you’ll have a successful day.
