Your daily horoscopes for Wednesday August 21, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 21
Take a mental vacation today. With the moon and Neptune in your soulful twelfth house, it’s the perfect day for yoga, meditation, or just staying in bed. Connect with your emotions and intuition, which will be powerfully activated by this transit. Write down any “gut feelings,” or just free write in a journal to connect with your core. You could also have vivid dreams that contain helpful messages and guidance.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 21
Let your hair down with a group of friends today and go with the flow! While you’re at it, drop your guard, too. The moon and Neptune unite in your networking zone, helping you relax in any social setting. Opening up a little more will help you feel connected on a deeper level to the people in your life, building your sense of security. Just pace yourself at the party, as foggy Neptune can make us lose track of our limits and boundaries.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 21
What do you want to do with your life? Spend some time to day visualizing your desires under today’s moon-Neptune mashup. While making a vision board may seem unrealistic to the more logical Geminis in the room, studies show that our brains actually respond to these things—just as they also respond to negative or limiting beliefs. So go ahead, choose your own adventure and start designing the life you want to attract!
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 21
Dream big, Cancer. Today, the moon and imaginative Neptune meet in your ninth house of inspired visions and adventure. You could conjure up a vacation just be picturing yourself in a faraway place! Go browse some travel books and websites. You’re in a learning mood today, so indulge your curiosity. At the very least, take a “staycation” and do something out of the ordinary today.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 21
Tune into your deeper emotions today, Leo. Your intuition could reach near-psychic levels, and your hunches should be correct. The moon-Neptune alignment in your karmic eighth house could also crank up the coincidences. Just as you think of someone, the phone or doorbell rings, or you bump into them on the street. It could feel downright magical today. Visualize what you want, and watch it manifest!

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 21
Soften your stance, Virgo. Today, the moon meets compassionate Neptune in your relationship house, making it easier for you to stand in a partner, colleague, or friend’s shoes. Rather than judge people, find common ground, or at least some empathy. Even if you can’t relate to what they’re going through, you can still give them room to be human. By doing so, you’ll also grant yourself the same.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 21
You’re always more inspired to exercise and eat healthily if there’s a spiritual or meaningful element to it—and some beauty! Today’s moon-Neptune conjunction in your fitness house helps you feel more deeply connected to your body’s movements, rhythms, and needs. Check out an organic cooking class, research healthy but flavorful recipes, or scout out a new yoga studio that’s aesthetically beautiful, too.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 21
Today’s planets could find you getting swept away in a deeply romantic mood. The emotional moon and fantasy planet Neptune meet in Pisces, glowing in your fifth house of passion. Plan a sensual date night, or if you’re single, dress up and hand your flirty inner siren the reins. Not in the mood for love? The fifth house also rules creativity and imaginative Neptune will be the perfect muse for your artistic inspiration.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 21
The moon and compassionate Neptune meet in Pisces, illuminating your home and family zone. Connect with loved ones today, especially a female relative, parent, or child. You might be inspired to soften up the decor in your house, adding a spiritual or ethereal touch. A chandelier, a vintage treasure, some cool accent pillows with an Indian or Turkish pattern—these little accents will go a long way in adding more sensuality to your space.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 21
Today, a conversation could forge a rich emotional connection between you and a friend or sibling. One or both of you could open up and get past the formalities, sharing your secret vulnerabilities rather than trying to look perfect. It feels good to come from the heart today, and to really get to know each other on a deeper level. As the moon and compassionate Neptune meet in your communication zone, skip the advice and just listen. The magic words? “I understand.”

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 21
The intuitive moon and spiritual Neptune meet in your money sector today. Want more prosperity or happiness with your finances? Start with some creative visualization. While it may be hard to set aside your skepticism, science actually backs this up now. Allow yourself to ask the big question: What do I truly want? Set aside what you think you “should” desire and allow yourself to connect to that bigger dream. Ask, believe, receive.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 21
The moon and your ruler Neptune meet in Pisces today, making this a powerful moment for your self-expression. Discovering and expressing your truth may not be easy, but it’s so much more satisfying than hiding your light. You have much to share with the world, so don’t worry about doing it in a “traditional” way. The more you add your own quirky stamp to things—and put your heart and soul into them, as well—the more powerfully people will respond.
