Your daily horoscopes for Tuesday August 27, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 27
Could your friend group use a refresh? Good news! You’ll start the week with your social butterfly wings outstretched. As the moon bumps into horizon-expanding Jupiter AND fast-moving Mars in your communal third house, it’s almost too easy to uncover common ground in every conversation. Follow a few new feeds on social, or DM someone whose insightful comments you love. Don’t sleep on your existing bonds. Does a deeper connection seem possible with one of your casual acquaintances? Explore!
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 27
The urge to splurge will be stronger than usual today—and for a desire-driven Taurus, that’s saying something! But keep a grip on that wallet. As the moon bumps into hedonistic Jupiter AND impulsive Mars in your money zone, you’re easily dazzled by treasures that you might not actually need—or even want 48 hours later. Check the return policy and save the receipts! This whimsical energy could sweep you along in a current of generosity, but remember: Giving gifts is not the only love language out there.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 27
Speak your truth, Gemini! It’s probably on the tip of your tongue anyway, thanks to the moon uniting with candid Jupiter AND assertive Mars in your sign today. This might spark a lively debate, which in turn can illuminate insights worth reflecting on. It’s an excellent time to ask for honest feedback. Simply saying “I am who I am—take it or leave it” would be short-changing yourself of a golden opportunity to grow. Let wise friends reflect back qualities that are hidden in your blind spots.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 27
You’ve got compassion in spades today as the moon aligns with amplifier Jupiter and heroic Mars in your twelfth house of empathy. Go on a complimenting spree, dole out hugs, offer encouraging words. If you find yourself slipping into a pity party, here’s some unconventional advice: Offer support to someone who’s been down on their luck. Not only will this take your mind off your troubles, but realizing it will help you regain some much-needed perspective.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 27
Under today’s connection between the moon, expansive Jupiter and assertive Mars, your bold personality reaches farther and wider than you can imagine. Whether you’re clinking glasses with friends or going live on social media, don’t censor yourself. (Well, maybe a teensy bit—Mercury’s still retrograde one more day!) People don’t have to understand you straightaway; in fact, that’s part of the fun. Introduce them to a whole new concept, and you’ll broaden THEIR horizons in the process.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 27
A calculated risk might be your play-it-safe sign’s idea of gambling, but that’s fine, Virgo. As the moon, confident Mars and venturesome Jupiter sync up in your career zone, a well-placed bet could pay off. Heads up: Both the red planet AND the red-spotted planet wait for no one! Don’t want to miss this opportunity? If your intuition is screaming “doooo it!” (and of course, you’ve done a modicum of research), you may have to leap without fully securing your net.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 27
Good luck focusing anything mundane today as a conjunction of the moon, global Jupiter and restless Mars in your ninth house of travel dials up your wanderlust. A change of scenery is always the magic elixir when you’re feeling stressed or bummed out. Since driving off into the sunset might not be possible, find other ways to make your world feel bigger. Ambling through a library or bookstore might do the trick. Start in the cookbook section and then go find a late-summer novel as your escape route.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 27
You might have your picky moments, Scorpio, but you’re more than capable of throwing caution to the wind. And under today’s sultry conjunction of the moon, sexy Mars and daring Jupiter, you have the green light to take a few romantic risks. If the most exciting thing happening in your bedroom is the new lamp you scored for your nightstand, take the initiative to spice it up. Single Scorps, if you’ve exhausted the current options in your zip code, see what happens if you search a few miles farther from home.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 27
Dating can be an adventure, Sagittarius, and thanks to today’s eye-opening connection of the moon with bold Mars and your ruler, lucky Jupiter, in your relationship house, you’re ready to turn this into a research project. Start scouting out local venues that you’d love to explore with a plus-one. Did a new gallery or wine bar just open? Are there upcoming shows you should buy a pair of tickets for? Even if you don’t have a person on your radar yet, this exercise alone sends out a powerfully attractive message to the universe!

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 27
Today’s conjunction of the moon, combative Mars and expansive Jupiter in your detail-driven sixth house will prove that there CAN be too much of a good thing. In this case, that “good thing” is your ability to notice every microscopic nuance—and call people out on any flaws. Yes, the little things matter, Cap, but to what degree? Under today’s skies, it’s too easy to start spiraling and lose sight of the big picture. Step away from that project you’re obsessing over and clear your head by doing a totally different type of activity. Hop on a Peloton or listen to music and make yourself a meal. Anything that helps you shut off your brain until you’re feeling centered again is a plus.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 27
What really matters to you? Today’s moon connects to confident Mars and philosophical Jupiter, which are in your fifth house of creativity. Yes, it feels great to be admired, but you know what feels even better? Following your heart as it leads you toward your personal passions. If you could unhook yourself from other people’s approval, what bold step would you take? Today, you may find the courage to make a move in THAT direction.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 27
How do you feel in your space, Pisces? Today’s merger of the moon, restless Mars and visionary Jupiter in your domestic sector brings some big design energy to Chateau Fish. You may wake up eager to dive into a home-based project that you’ve been putting off, or maybe you’re finally ready to give your office a refresh. (Good luck staying focused on any pressing tasks today!) Invite a talented friend over after work for a second opinion. If time allows—and you’ve taken proper measurements—you might even make it to IKEA before it closes.
