Georgia Nicols horoscopes for Aug. 31

Moon Alert

After 3:40 a.m. Chicago time, we have the “all clear” today to do business. The Moon is in Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Don’t try to win today. You don’t have to have the first word or the last. Forget your natural competitive spirit because today you feel tired and uncertain about when and how to force your hand, or anyone’s hand for that matter. Be gentle. Keep things low key.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is the classic day for confusion with romantic partners. You might feel disappointed in someone, but perhaps it’s because you did not express your expectations? Unexpressed expectations almost always lead to disappointment. Factoid.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Family conversations are subject to misunderstandings and confusion today. Hopefully it’s just an innocent misunderstanding. I say this because some family conversations will include deceit and outright lying. Don’t be dishonest just to avoid embarrassment. It won’t work.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your conversations and interactions with others today will be misunderstood or misinterpreted by those close to you. Furthermore, you yourself might feel a tad confused. Perhaps you would enjoy daydreaming, fantasizing and escapism in general.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a poor day to make important decisions about financial matters, especially your cash flow and possessions. For starters, there’s a strong element of confusion in the air. In addition to which, people are unsure about things and too ready to second-guess themselves.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today the Sun is in your sign sitting 180 degrees away from fuzzy Neptune. This is an indication that you might feel tired. You might also feel confused and not sure about whether to push your agenda or not. Conversations with partners and close friends are also confusing. Can they be trusted?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might feel a bit in the dark about something today. “Nobody tells me anything. I’m always the last to know.” Just remember: if you think something fishy is going on — it is. Trust your hunches. And trust the fact that you just might not know.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Relations with friends, and especially people in group situations (classes, get-togethers, clubs or conventions), are confusing today. People are not entirely sure what to expect of each other. Knowing this ahead of time, make no assumptions. Strive to be clear about what others can expect from you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Although you are enjoying travel opportunities, today your conversations with authority figures (bosses, parents, teachers and the police) are vague and confusing. If you’re not sure what’s going on, speak up and say so. Do not assume that you know what others expect from you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a poor day for important discussions about politics, religion or philosophical concepts because it’s hard to get a clear understanding about what others are really saying. You might think you know what they’re saying, but do you really? Confusion is rampant today.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is not a good day for important discussions about inheritances, shared property, insurance disputes or anything to do with the wealth and assets of your partner. Confusion and even deceit will make it impossible to be on a solid footing. This is not a good day to sign something or seal it in stone.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today your ruler Neptune is in your sign, sitting exactly opposite from the Sun. This is why relations with others are confusing or fuzzy. You might think you know what’s going on but you don’t. You might think you don’t know what’s going on and you’re right. Could go either way. (It’s doubtful that you think you know what’s going on and you do.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Richard Gere (1949) shares your birthday today. You are involved with the events occurring around you. You understand human nature, and want to benefit others, especially children. You can magnetize people to you with your attractive personality. This year your success lies with others. People will benefit you. Therefore, make friends and join clubs and organizations. Help others because you will also be helping yourself.
