Horoscope for Sunday, August 4, 2019

Moon Alert

After 8:45 a.m. Chicago time, we have the all clear to shop and do business. The moon is in Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You have to go more than halfway when dealing with others because the moon is in a sign that is opposite your sun in Aries. (That’s how it works.) Nevertheless, enjoy a good heart-to-heart talk with a close friend or partner.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Whatever you do, you might find yourself having to do a service for someone else. But you won’t mind because it will seem appropriate. You’re not a martyr. You’re either doing your job or you’re showing someone a kindness. It’s a joy to labor for those you love.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are an air sign and the moon is in Libra, which is your fellow air sign, which means the moon is supporting your sun. Or another way of putting this is that this is a fun-loving, happy, easygoing day! You want to have a good time!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your interaction with family members is important. However, you might want to hide or cocoon at home today if you get the chance because you need to relax and enjoy some R&R. Do something to pamper yourself.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Short trips and conversations with others will please you because you are eager to connect with people. You want some meaningful conversation! You don’t want superficial chitchat. You want to have an exchange with someone that is thought-provoking.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Financial matters are on your mind. Good day to make friends with your bank account and make sure you are on top of things. You might also contemplate a major purchase. Or you might have some good money-making ideas?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The moon is in your sign, which always makes you a bit more emotional than usual. Fear not, this happens to every sign for two days every month. However, when the moon is in your sign, you are a bit luckier than all the other signs. Oh yeah!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Work alone or behind the scenes, because you have a need for some privacy and a chance to catch your breath. Life has been a bit high visibility lately, so you need to offset this with something that is different. Keep your head down and your powder dry.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A conversation with a female friend could be significant. If so, this is an ideal day to share your hopes and dreams for the future with someone to get their feedback. Sometimes just saying your ideas out loud helps you to formulate them better in your mind.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are high visibility. Once again, personal details about your private life seem to be public. (Like, what’s with this?) Do your best to cope. You might learn something from this experience. This could be related to other people’s money and wealth.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You want to do something different because you want some adventure! Therefore, expand your world! Indulge your need for stimulation. Drive somewhere new or take a different route home or go to an ethnic restaurant or talk to people from other backgrounds. Ideas?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Take some time out of your day to attend banking matters, bills and loose ends regarding red-tape issues with inheritances, taxes, debt and insurance matters. Just do this so that you can get it out of the way. Then you can play!
