Horoscope Today: August 16, 2024 (2024)

You know in your heart of hearts that the universe is always conspiring in your favour. That’s it’s doing everything it can to help you get in alignment with your grandest vision. So, you’re letting go of that false sense of control and allowing things to unfold naturally. You’re consciously reflecting on your journey so far and turning your knowledge into wisdom. That said, confronting the shadows—the fears and the insecurities lurking beneath the surface—especially in the realm of relationships, is going to be a big theme for you as we progress towards the full moon in Aquarius. Something tells us, the next season of your life is about showing up with a greater degree of courage, authenticity and openness!

Cosmic tip: The universe is always conspiring in your favour.

Good morning, beautiful! Here’s a little something from your August 2024 soulscope you need to revisit: “The chrysalis stage of development can be all kinds of uncomfortable. The caterpillar’s body starts breaking down into a gooey, cellular soup. And then, over a period of time, its cells rearrange themselves as a way to prepare for the big reveal! If this sounds familiar, know that you too are a butterfly-in-the-waiting, Taurus!” Now, this brings us to the most important question: what aspect of your life or the self are you being called to release as a way to make space for grace?

Cosmic tip: In order to get in alignment with the grandest vision, you’re going to have to let go of the past baggage.

Right now, it’s not about charging forward. It’s about taking a step back to re-evaluate and observe things from a different angle. To observe your self-sabotaging patterns through the lens of awareness and making the unconscious conscious. What feels like a limbo is actually a golden opportunity to gain profound insights. Word for the wise: honour the invitation to reassess your goals, plans, and strategies. While you’re at it, let go of the need for immediate action and allow yourself to be present in the moment. ‘Surrender’ and ‘flow’ will prove to be your magic words,Gemini.

Cosmic tip: Honour the invitation to reassess your goals, plans, and strategies.

All is not lost—despite what your conscious mind will have you believe, Cancer! Consider this soulscope as your reminder to look beyond the illusion of chaos and embark upon that metaphorical journey within. To let go of past experiences, judgments, and expectations. To release the false sense of attachments and allow the plan to unfold as it must. Remember, uncertainty is an integral part of the transformation process. Make peace with the fact that you may not know what awaits you on the other side until you get there. For now, tell your higher self that you’re ready to make space for new experiences, golden opportunities and soulful connections.

Cosmic tip: Release the false sense of attachments and create space for new experiences and fresh perspectives.

If things are feeling challenging right now, they probably are. Take a moment to consider this: could the universe be reflecting your internal beliefs back at you? Start by acknowledging how you’re feeling about the situation. Once you’ve recognised those emotions, shift your focus to what you already have and the opportunities that lie ahead. This simple shift will enable you to embark upon that metaphorical journey from scarcity to plenty. That said, you’re also being encouraged to harness the power of the full moon later this week to set clear intentions and attract prosperity. Reinforce your new mindset with positive affirmations like, "I am worthy of abundance in all areas of my life," "I attract positive opportunities and prosperous outcomes," and "I am open to receiving limitless abundance from the universe."

Cosmic tip: Embrace the flow of abundance in every form, Leo. It’s all yours for the taking!

Virgo, wealth creation is coming through strong for you right now. Your hard work and dedication are paving the way for some serious financial stability. This is the perfect time to hone in on building and growing your assets—whether it's investments, savings, or taking that side hustle to the next level. But remember, true abundance isn’t just about stacking cash; it’s also about the quality of your life and the strength of your relationships. Seek out mentors and collaborators who align with your vision and are ready to help you elevate to new heights. And don’t forget to give a shoutout to the people who’ve supported your journey in their our own unique way.

Cosmic tip: Hone in on building and growing your assets

Buckle up, buttercup! This chapter is all about reclaiming the reins and steering the chariot of your life with intention and focus. You know what you want to co-create over the next few months and you’re willing to do what it takes to move to the next level! Remember, it’s all a game of energy—and energy is all that there is. Trust that the Universe will match your frequency by providing you with golden opportunities that will propel you in the direction of growth. Just a reminder: balance is key. Harmonise your intuition with action, and you'll be unstoppable.

Cosmic tip: You are propelled in the direction of your mission.

Take a deep breath and relax, Scorpio. If there’s one thing your spirit guides want you to know, it’s that the storm has passed! You are now entering into a new cycle—a time of hope, a time of healing and a time of renewal. What you’re being guided to prioritise in the weeks to come: self-care and self-love. So, make time for meditation, mindfulness, yoga and journaling. Sign up for that wellness retreat, artist's residency or venture into the wilderness with your soul family. Overheard at the cosmic conference: nature is medicine.

Cosmic tip: Everything is as it is supposed to be.

Sagittarius, your creativity isn’t just a side gig—it’s a powerful force for personal growth and self-expression. When you tap into those artistic talents, you’ll discover fresh ways to reconnect with yourself and the world around you. Here’s a little wisdom for the road: give yourself the permission to bring your unique vision to life even if it seems “bold” or “radical” to those around! What’s more, the cards are also encouraging you to embrace the luxe life, because the next few weeks are going to be all about leisure and pleasure. Say ‘yes’ to everything the Universe is offering, and let yourself explore the world with curiosity and openness.

Cosmic tip: Your creativity is powerful force for personal growth and self-expression

Capricorn, the energy right now is all about refining your inner circle and surrounding yourself with people who truly get you. Think: the kind of folks who support your ambitions, uplift your spirit, and constantly remind you of your inherent magic. Embrace the call to celebrate these connections in ways that feel authentic to you. And let’s be real—some people might not be vibing at your frequency anymore, and that’s okay. It’s okay to create some distance from those who drain your energy, even if they’ve been in your life for a long time. PS: It’s about quality over quantity, beautiful!

Cosmic tip: “I attract positive, supportive people who uplift and inspire me. Together, we thrive and achieve greatness.” (Affirmation)

We’re telling you something you already know: self-care is the new black, and those dark circles are a dead giveaway that you’ve been prioritising everybody but yourself. Here’s something to reflect upon: where is this guilt stemming from? Do you feel you are unworthy of your own love? Address the root of this belief knowing that it is only by filling your cup that you will be able to fulfil your sacred purpose in this world. For now, retreat into your sacred space. Reconnect with the rituals that make you feel safe. Feeling inspired to take the Venusian route to feeling good? Turn to nature’s apothecary today.

Cosmic tip: Fill your own cup, beautiful.

Pisces, the call for adventure is loud and clear! So, give into the desire to travel and explore the unexplored! Give into the desire to let your inner GPS lead the way forward! Overheard at the cosmic conference: you will look back at this time as a period of growth and learning. That said, it’s all about taking bold steps forward when it comes to your creative and professional pursuits as well. It’s about shedding the cloak of invisibility and letting yourself be seen, heard and celebrated! PS: You didn’t come here to dim your light, beautiful!

Cosmic tip: It’s time for a walk on the wild side.
