August 12: Your Daily Horoscope

BIRTHDAY STAR: Actor Peter Krause was born in Alexandria, Minnesota, on this day in 1965. This birthday star earned three Emmy nominations for his role as Nate Fisher on “Six Feet Under.” He’s portrayed Bobby Nash on “9-1-1” since 2018. He also played Adam Braverman on “Parenthood” and Benjamin Jones on “The Catch.” On the big screen, Krause’s film resume includes roles in “Saint Judy,” “Night Owls,” and “The Truman Show.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aesop’s fable taught us that slow and steady wins the race. This may not be the time for risky leaps or sharp retorts, so consider keeping it cool with the tried and true. Overconfidence or promising more than you can deliver could backfire.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Maintain your balance. While grand gestures and kindness may satisfy your soul, be wise about the details and cautious about spending. Even small improvements, like getting a good deal or negotiating a discount, could make a huge difference.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your optimism might protect you from seeing any bad in people but may make you a bit careless about the details. This may not be the time to jump feet first into an activity or new project without asking for some wise guidance first.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You might be at your best when you act in unison with a congenial partner. That person’s practical assessments and unique ideas might stir and enhance your ambitions. Before you chase new horizons, be sure to wrap up what you’ve started.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be drifting away from a helpful support system. Consider making the time to stay in touch with friends who know and understand you. Time together could energize your ideas and give everyone the strength to continue moving forward.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Steering clear of fiction could help you avoid unnecessary friction. If you find yourself in a challenging spot, rise to the occasion. Voicing your agreement and presenting a united front could result in a big payoff.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Regardless of your abilities, a lot of things may require observation from different skill sets. Consider looking for partners who you might share your vision and desire to help you. Wonderful possibilities may be available within your inner circle.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your professional skills might shine but be cautious about playing fast and loose with your people skills. Try to avoid giving anyone the wrong impression by becoming involved in arguments. Flattery and admiration could easily go to your head.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A little blip could get things moving in the right direction because it may give everyone a chance to talk things over. Your common sense might help a loved one feel more confident in the face of unfair judgment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The choices you face may be challenging but you should have the skills and vision to recognize the best options. Listen to your own inner voice of wisdom to watch your creative ideas blossom and you may reap the benefits you deserve.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your enthusiasm might give you more opportunities for advancement and promotion. Be willing to acknowledge other people’s efforts and contributions; their input could help to refine and shape a better result.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Taking the high road may get you to your destination faster. Remain generous and trusting, even if others don’t seem to respond as you’d hoped. The trivial problems that tend to cause you to worry could have equally simple solutions.

IF AUGUST 12 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Your confidence may feel boosted if you have been given a leadership role, but don’t let being first become your only objective over the next two to three weeks or you might offend someone. In an effort to satisfy your need to escape from reality in September, think about taking an inspiring vacation or spending a weekend gazing into someone’s eyes. If single, a new romance could turn out to be the one you have been waiting for. Whatever you start in late October and early November, especially a new project or a commitment to a romantic relationship, could become a success; you certainly should have the commitment at that time to making it succeed. Consider new opportunities or elevated career prospects and use your heightened charm, attractiveness, and business savviness while they may be more enhanced than usual.
