Your daily horoscopes for Thursday August 22, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Thursday August 22
It’s never too late in the season to prioritize your wellbeing, Aries. Today, the Sun beams into Virgo and your sixth house of health, charging you up for a monthlong self-care cycle. Replace a few of those frozen margaritas with green juices and find an exercise modality that actually inspires you (rather than one that feels like pure drudgery). Socializing could center around more physical activity too, so how about power yoga with your pals before the three-Bellini brunches?
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Thursday August 22
The Sun heads into Virgo for a month, electrifying your fifth house of passion, romance and fame. Take a stroll down the red carpet! Your moves draw major attention now and you could attract some well-heeled—and well-known—people into your orbit. Your own star is due to rise, so put your talents on display and strategically self-promote. This is a stellar month for flirting and developing romantic connections; or, if you’re in a relationship, bringing more pleasure and play back to your union. There’s still time for a beach vacay a deux!
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Thursday August 22
Bless your nest, Gemini, with design touches worthy of a shelter mag, the company of your nearest and dearest and a few family dinners to boot. Today the Sun blazes into Virgo for a month, the ruler of your domestic fourth house. Home is where your heart shall be between now and September 22. If you’re not happy with where you’ve been hanging your hat, spend time with the real estate listings and get the search underway for a space that feels like your sanctuary.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Thursday August 22
Your gift of gab returns today as the Sun blazes into Virgo and your third house of communication until September 22. You’ll have an easier time articulating your ideas, expressing your emotions, and even putting your thoughts into writing. The social butterfly in you comes shuttling out of its cocoon as well. You won’t have an evening to yourself for the next month, but that’s just how you’ll like it. Save room in your calendar for cultivating new friendships as well as strengthening the old.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Thursday August 22
Time to raise your financial IQ! The Sun blazes into Virgo and your second house of money management. Sure, you can earn it, but you can also burn it. The next thirty days are all about budgeting. You might even go on an austerity plan, or cinch that belt a little tighter. This is not about deprivation, however, but rather creating a sense of security and peace by letting your nest egg build. If you’re on the hunt for more gainful employment, the Sun’s bright beams bring an added blessing to your search and interview process.

Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Thursday August 22
Your eyes are getting heavy…you’re feeling very sleepy. Today, the Sun drifts into Virgo and your twelfth house of transitions for a month. This is the final phase of your annual solar cycle, a time better used for rest, rejuvenation, and maybe an end of season vacation. On September 22, the Sun will burst into Libra and you’ll be ready to take on the world again. In the days leading up to then, what can you release? From outworn possessions to toxic relationships, to commitments that drag you down, decluttering your life of excess will heal your soul.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Thursday August 22
It’s getting lonely at the top, Scorpio. Today, the Sun blazes into Virgo and your eleventh house of teamwork for a month. Let the collaborations commence! Begin the search for people whose work ethic and quality control standards you trust. With the technophile vibes of the eleventh house, the next thirty days are stellar for developing an app or AI-powered project, selling your gently-used goods online, or giving the dating apps another whirl.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Thursday August 22
Your career kicks into high gear as the Sun plants itself in Virgo and your ambitious tenth house until September 22. Those end-of-summer barbecues will double as networking events so pack plenty of business cards along with the grillables, and work the crowds. Now is the time to really aim high, Archer, pointing your arrows straight at the target and going after an outsized goal. Polish up your presentation materials as you may be pitching ideas to the industry heavyweights in the days ahead.

Ooh la la! Your inner siren takes the helm for the next month as the Sun grooves through Virgo and your erotic eighth house until September 22. A relationship could grow incredibly intimate in the days ahead, but watch out!

Steer clear of dangerous liaisons and turn your attention towards people who can really go the distance with you.
