AUGUST 19 HOROSCOPE
ARIES: The thing about being hard-headed is that it takes a while to realize when youāve cracked something. Now might be a good time for you to pause, to admit that even your formidable horns arenāt indestructible, and to bandage up so you can heal.
TAURUS: Itās been a trip to the fair for you lately, although most of that time felt like you were strapped into the Tilt-A-Whirl. If people offer you a steady hand to hang onto till you get your balance back, donāt be stubborn and donāt be fussy: the alternative is landing flat on your ass.Ā
GEMINI: Whenever things look up for you, youāre too busy looking into doing favours for all your friends to even notice it. Do you haveĀ to make things so hard, you damn dirty ape? Okay, I know you wonāt listen, but still -- take a flipping Me Day already. Take two, one for each Twin.
CANCER: Pay attention. Things have been slipping your notice lately because you canāt focus in properly on whatās changed and needs you to attend to it, and these things are important. Youāll never catch the yellow monkey butler if you donāt. See, you probably didnāt even realize I stopped making sense, because you tuned out. Your loss, babe.
LEO: You, my feline friend, are the lobby of a hotel right now: thereās a revolving door between you and the rest of your world. People are coming in, some are leaving, a couple might be stuck in the door not knowing which way theyāre going. Make the decision for them. Youāll have to be honest with yourself. Youāre not always good at that, but be brave and be Nike: just do it.
VIRGO: Itās always nice to have things just the way you like them. But things canāt always be nice, can they? Especially whenĀ āniceā is sometimes a stand-in forĀ āthe safe status quo because Iām reluctant to do anything elseā. Get messy! Let yourself be a rumpled-up imperfect being, sweet Virgonians!Ā
LIBRA: Youāve been eating way too much pie. I mean we all love pie, who doesnāt love pie? But thereās too much of a good thing going on here, Libra. You need to get back to the other important things in life otherwise when you look up from the crust crumbs and blueberry smears, thereāll be nothing waiting.
SCORPIO: Iām gonna level with you, Scorpions: youāre pissing everybody off lately. Itās great that you have so much confidence, but true real confidence means that you show interest in other people as well as talking about your many, many accomplishments.Ā
SAGITTARIUS: The way youāve been casting around for new interests, characteristics, and -- letās face it -- a solid, defined personality, can feel a little sad sometimes. But donāt lose sight of your end goal! Itāll be worth it when you can have a conversation with friends without being defensive the entire time.
CAPRICORN: Thereās being moody, and then thereās using that as an excuse to be short and snippy with everybody. Quit wallowing! Throw yourself into some new hobby (and remember, peopleĀ are not hobbies and most of them donāt need your suggestions forĀ āimprovementā).
AQUARIUS: When things change for you, they change fast. Make sure, Water Babies, that the current doesnāt sweep you out to the open ocean and leave you floundering. Wear your pool floaties at all times and take some damn swimming lessons to be safe.
PISCES: My little Fishie friends, you have an unfortunate tendency to think that youāre helpless to get out of the shallow mud flats, when in fact a little effort will get you into clear, moving water where you can actually progress. Thereās no need to stay stuck if you donāt want to.
