Horoscope for Sunday, August 16, 2020

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 6:15 p.m. for the rest of the day. After that, the moon moves from Cancer into Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today is a mixed bag. You have lots of energy to play! This means sports and social occasions will appeal. Nevertheless, you might have a standoff with a female family member — an ego battle.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You have energy to devote to home and family because you are physically pumped. But don’t get hung up with a power struggle with someone, especially about controversial issues.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Short trips, conversations with others and exploring new places and ideas will please you. Avoid squabbles about money and possessions, because who cares?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You feel good about your finances and belongings. Therefore, don’t get caught up in a power struggle with a partner or close friend. Let it be. (Whisper words of wisdom.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the sun in your sign is lined up with fiery Mars, which boosts your energy and confidence. Therefore, don’t let minor squabbles in the back of your mind ruin anything. Seize the day!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You feel confident in yourself and firm about your ideas. That’s why a difference of opinion with a friend, probably a female, shouldn’t ruffle your feathers.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a popular day for you, which means you will enjoy the company of others, especially partners and close friends. Don’t let family stress take over your mood. Relax.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You shine in the eyes of others, which is why this is also a good day to make your pitch to an authority figure. “Its slices! It dices! It cuts shoe leather!” Stay calm when traveling and dealing with foreign situations.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A chance to travel will rev your engines because you want to explore your world and have some adventure! Don’t make a big deal about disputes regarding shared property or something that is jointly held with others.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be patient with partners and close friends because the moon is opposite your sign. However, it’s a solid day to discuss inheritances and shared property. (Go figure.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Although relationships with partners and close friends are excellent, you might run afoul of a coworker or someone who is discussing health issue with you. Take it easy.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a productive day for you because you want to work! Don’t be demanding of kids. In fact, romance and relations with kids are a bit sensitive.
