Horoscope: Sunday, Aug 30

If something of value goes out of your life today you must wave it a fond farewell and start looking around for something of equal or superior value to replace it. The planets will guide you in the right direction and soon you will have forgotten your loss.

Your health has been glowing over the past few weeks, Taurus, but today you're likely to feel a little under the weather. This is probably due to nothing more exotic than stress. You've been working hard and concentrating on little else, so your body is now rebelling. You need some rest. Take time off and relax a little, and don't feel guilty about it. Even the President needs alone time occasionally.

Long-term investments, especially those involving real estate, could pay off now, Gemini. If you've been thinking of buying or selling a home, this is the time to do it. All signs indicate that your patience is likely to bear fruit, so at least one of your longtime goals should bring success right now. Also, if you've been considering investing some money in your house, such as remodeling or building an addition, start planning today.

Some new ideas for expanding your horizons on some level could come to you today through an unexpected source, Cancer, possibly even dreams or visions. If an idea does come through a dream or flash of insight, don't write it off as crazy. It probably warrants some careful consideration, if nothing else. Some research is definitely called for, and possibly consulting with people in the know. Think about it!

Today’s cosmic picture warns that a deal you are being offered is not as simple or as clear-cut as it seems. Dig into the details more than you have done so far and make sure you are not being set up to be the financial fall guy.

Some kind of drama will unfold today and you must not – repeat, not – allow yourself to get wound up about the situation. If you stay calm and stick to the facts you will come through unscathed, and a bit wiser about the ways of the world.

Pure wisdom is an important quality for you to aspire to on this day, Virgo. Know that the wisdom you seek should come from a point of calm knowing and strength as opposed to a frantic, loud, and outlandish display for attention. You'll be recognized accordingly. Be aware that the more knowledge you spread to others, the more it will grow for everyone to profit by and share.

You can probably sweet-talk your way in or out of any situation today, Libra. You have a great deal of power within, and you can accomplish anything as long as you aren't afraid to use it. Don't fear failure. If you never try, you'll never succeed. If you see missing pieces in the plan, don't worry. Trust that things will fall into place as needed. Keep your eyes on the prize.

Your actions may go against your rational thinking, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing, Scorpio. Thoughts and feelings are apt to aggressively clash today, but that doesn't mean you have to be a victim of the resulting demolition. Note the big pieces that survive after the initial impact. Recognize these as your strengths and work to build them back up while leaving the smaller pieces behind.

Your main task this weekend will be to calm things down on the home front, which is strange as it is usually you who is stirring things up! You’ve had your fill of petty disputes and could do with a bit of peace and quiet for a change.

An apparently simple task could get very complicated over the next two or three days, so give yourself plenty of time to make it work. If a friend or work colleague offers to help don’t turn them down. No one expects you to do everything yourself.

Some wonderful news concerning money and career matters could come your way today, Capricorn. Your natural kindness and sympathy for others has led you to make some good friends who are also valuable business contacts. This is definitely paying off. Your aesthetic sense is at an all-time high, so this is a great day to start any creative projects that you have in mind. Success is definitely coming your way!

The opportunity to make a change in your life, which you may have been contemplating for a long time, could finally manifest itself today, Aquarius. This could be a move to a new neighborhood, a return to school for an advanced degree, an entirely new profession, or all of the above. Whichever it is, expect to spend a lot of time throughout the day discussing it with friends and family. Then move ahead with whatever plans you have.

Something you say to a friend or relative could cause some friction today. Although you have every right to speak your mind it might be smart to think before you open your mouth. Do you really need to be so harsh? If not, give it a miss.

The influence of Venus, planet of attraction, in your chart means others will be looking at you through the eyes of love and will do almost anything you ask of them. Decide what it is you desire, then get them to bring it to you.
