One of the most anticipated transits of the year takes place in the sky alongside an intensely activated Full Moon in Aquarius: Tte planet of expansion, Jupiter in Gemini, is in the ring with Saturn in Pisces, the planet of rules and discipline.
The combination of these planetary energies could make it feel like your mind is wildly stimulated with different possibilities, ideas, and plans. So, at this cosmic juncture, it’s about stripping away unnecessary things to free up more time and creative energy before you make a move. Create spaciousness in your life to refine what you truly want to invest your heart into.
Your zodiac sign’s daily horoscope for August 19, 2024.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Take a deep breath, Aries. You can reclaim the driver’s seat of your life. Today will be busy. You might experience some forgetfulness about a few of your creative ideas, but this brain freeze may help you focus. It’s good to slow down to avoid doing a million things at the same time, especially if you’ve been entangled with too many creative experiments.
Call your creative energy back to where you feel in control. You can figure out what matters to you with focus and a game plan. A good rule of thumb: just because you started a project doesn’t mean you need to be the one who finishes it. You make the rules; there’s s no shame in making a new creative pivot that aligns with your heart.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Take stock of your decisions, Taurus. See what’s useful and what’s not. In the ways that you’ve been pouring your resources lately, is it equally pouring back into you, or are you feeling creatively and emotionally depleted?
This is the time to define what it means to feel ‘well-resourced,’ from your bank account to how you want to feel around the people you spend time with. The most precious resources are the things we can’t buy back: time and love.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Pinch your pennies, Gemini. It’s fun to spend money, but it can be wiser to save than thrift and buy what you don’t need. Summer is often filled with invitations that come out of the blue; we’re a bit more generous with our spending and indulge in everything that makes us feel good under the Sun.
Now, it doesn’t mean that has to end, but today’s energy may support you in indulging so that you don’t have to worry about your bank account by the end of the week or about how much energy you don’t have for your most important commitments.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Be your own hero, Cancer. Life is best lived when we believe we’re living our own mythic story, and so today, you may realize what stories you’ve been writing for yourself and how you may want to take control of the narrative in a more fun and less serious way.
So, is there a part of your life that you’re taking a little too seriously, or is there a space in your life where you want to inject more creative inspiration?
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Surprises are in store for you, Leo. Today, you may have some revelations regarding your relationships, from who you feel you can depend on to who makes you feel more open to different possibilities for the future to who helps you to question your ideas about the world.
Essentially, you’re realizing how the people in your life are helping you carve out your future or whether they’ve become a little more of an obstacle.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Hit the reset button, Virgo. Your routine is about to start from scratch. An old version of working can’t bring you to the next stop of your creative potential. That could look like the projects that you work on, or you might have the sudden urge to experiment with a whole new side of you that has just been itching to come out.
Set aside time to think about your ideal creative routine free from any old habits or limitations. What does it look like? How does it differ from your current approach?
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Be you, Libra. Sometimes, we feel stagnant because we haven’t done something incredibly daring for a long time. So today, you may feel incredibly invigorated by the projects, passions, and curiosities you’ve immersed yourself in, or you might feel like you’ve been coasting and nothing makes you curious.
Make a new declaration to yourself and the world that you’re ready to place a bigger bet for your next creative rodeo. In the name of Madonna, staple this onto your wall: “I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art.”
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Your emotions may feel quite charged, Scorpio. Today, you can take a closer look into the macrocosm of your feelings, but from an observer’s point of view. This day can help you see your experiences from a bigger perspective and show different sides of the story.
So, widen your scope and don’t make a critical judgment on what you’re sensing. This is a chance to get to know yourself more wholesomely.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Think, then speak, Sagittarius. It might not always be obvious how important it is for your loved ones to share a similar philosophy of life, so you might become more conscious and aware of whether your value systems are aligned through different conversations or interests that you have.
Ask yourself these questions: What aspects of your life philosophy are essential for someone to share to maintain a deep relationship with you?
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Pay attention, Capricorn. A restructuring of your foundations is about to unfold, and it doesn’t have to be dramatically different. It could range from how you earn your money to changing the timelines of your long-term vision.
Either way, visualize yourself as a future version of yourself and set some intentions based on what you can see and feel. Make it grand and audacious, imagine as if there were no boundaries or boundaries of what is possible.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
You’re where you are meant to be, Aquarius. Today could feel quite life-affirming regarding the direction you’re heading towards, and you’ll feel it even more grounded when you catch yourself analyzing each step you take and believe that you’re exactly where you need to be.
Sometimes, when we’re always thinking about the future, we can get tied into thinking that the gap between where we currently are and where we want to go is further than we think. Surrender your need for constant signs that you’re moving towards your aligned future and tune into your soulful instincts.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Your dreams could be incredibly significant, Pisces. They may give hints about your potential and ideas that you once thought impossible. You may finally see how you can bring them into the material world.
You’re a natural alchemist, often bringing new things to the fore that have never been done before. So, when you’re in the thick of a self-doubt spiral, remember that a vision always starts with the seed, and as long as you’re committed to watering it, you’ll see it bloom when the timing is just right.
