Horoscope for Saturday, August 7, 2021

Moon Alert

After 2:30 a.m. Chicago time, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

As curious as this might sound, you could find it difficult to conceal your feelings from others. You might be wearing your heart on your sleeve. You will also feel more protective and nurturing, especially to children. Nevertheless, it’s a fun-loving day.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You want to cocoon at home and enjoy your privacy, especially among familiar surroundings. Actually, it’s an excellent day to be introspective, especially because childhood memories might bubble to the surface of your money. (You feel sentimental.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

In conversation with others, you feel a strong need for a real connection with someone. You want to bond. You want a meaningful discussion. You don’t want to waste time on superficial chitchat. A female relative might play an important role.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today it’s easy to emotionally identify with your possessions and what you own. Because of this, you will be less willing to lend something to someone or let someone use what you own. (“My precious!”) Be careful shopping because of ego purchases.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The moon is in your sign for the next two days, which will make you more emotional than usual. Your feelings will be heightened. (This could obscure your objectivity.) The good news is it can also slightly boost your good luck! Bonus!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you might want to withdraw and find a private cubbyhole to enjoy your own solitude because you don’t feel like socializing. This is not because you are being antisocial. You just need a breather. This is also a good day to explore any kind of mystical or spiritual discipline that might interest you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your emotional connection with your friends will be important to you today. This is why you might feel more protective or supportive with someone. It’s also why you might even feel jealous if a friend pays more attention someone else. (We’ve all been there.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today your personal life might be on public display for some reason or you might find it difficult to hide certain facts about yourself. (Avoid public arguments in elevators.) Note: You might blur the distinction between professional and personal when talking to a boss or someone in authority.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a pleasant day for you because the moon is in your fellow Fire Sign. Basically, this will urge you to explore new ideas, see new places and meet new faces. You want to do whatever you can to expand your world, especially through travel and learning. You want to crank things up.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Financial matters, especially regarding shared property or something to do with taxes, debt and insurance issues are on your mind today. You might also be dealing with wills, estates and inheritances. Tie up loose ends in these areas to give you more peace of mind.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today the moon is in a sign that is directly opposite from your sign. This means you have to be cooperative, tolerant and prepared to go more than halfway when you’re dealing with others. This is not hard to do — but be aware of this.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might have to put your own emotional considerations second to the considerations of someone else. This does not mean that you are being a martyr, it simply means that you are reading the situation correctly. This is how things are unfolding today. Simple.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Charlize Theron (1975) shares your birthday. You are hard-working, ambitious and determined. You look confident and self-assured to others regardless of how you feel inside. Although adventurous, you appreciate your quiet times. You are very sensitive to the sufferings of others. After new beginnings last year, this year will be quieter and more slowly paced. Your focus will be on partnerships and your personal world. Enjoy this new pace.
