CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★★
Mars is in your sign boosting your energy! (The last time Mars was in Cancer was for six weeks in the spring of 2023.) Mars will stay in your sign until November, so make the most of this. This increased physical energy will make it easier for you to work and further your best interests. Tonight: Work.

Home disruptions might test your patience with family this morning. But as the day wears on, fun activities will appeal to you! Make time for playful moments with kids, the arts, the entertainment world or sports events. Explore romance! Get friendly. Tonight: Socialize.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

For most of this day the Moon is in your sign, which makes you feel more emotional than usual.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Tread carefully this morning with bosses, parents and the police, because authority figures are unpredictable. Later in the day, relations with a friend, especially a female, could be significant.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★★
Be careful this morning. It’s an accident-prone time for you. Think before you say or do anything. Later in the day, you will be high-viz, which means people will notice you more than usual. Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. Tonight: Show respect.

ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Make sure you have your facts before you challenge someone today. It’s easy to jump the gun with a sense of righteousness. (A perverse pleasure.)

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★
Today you might feel that others are limiting what you want to do or putting restrictions on you for some reason. This could be a natural evolution of things, or this could be a conflict with someone, probably a friend, spouse or partner. This is not easy. Tonight: Learn.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
You are a social sign, perhaps the most social sign in the zodiac. Today, however, for some reason you might feel a bit lonely or cut off from others.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
Romantic relationships might be difficult today, especially if one is pulling rank. Others might find that children are an increased responsibility for some reason. Or you might feel that someone is uncooperative or holding you back in some way. And so it goes. Tonight: You’re strong.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★
Your dealings with bosses, authority figures and parents will not be easy today. They might oppose what you want to do or create restrictions. Possibly you are the one making restrictions for someone else. Either way, it’s a bit of a standoff. Make sure you are as fair as you can be. Tonight: Privacy.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
Today, whatever you want to do might be curtailed or restricted because of law and order or legal rules. Or possibly you are held back from something because of publicity or something in the media. Maybe you’re in Facebook jail? Expect a discussion with someone. Tonight: Ideals.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
“Why is there so much month left at the end of the money?” Today you might feel a financial squeeze play. You might not have enough money to do what you want. Or perhaps someone is going to cut off funding to you or withhold money from you. This is temporary. Tonight: Show respect.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★
You might feel discouraged today because you are facing adversaries. You feel physically tired. Perhaps your ambitions are thwarted by someone. The secret is to hang on and persevere. Opportunities for success will soon return. Tonight: Study.

CANCER

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★
Make friends with your bank account so you know what’s happening, because issues related to shared property, banking, taxes and inheritances are unpredictable today. This could be good news, or not.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★
Avoid controversial subjects today, especially with close friends and partners, because heated arguments are possible. You don’t need this. Nevertheless, you might attract someone to you today who is opinionated or unusual. They might catch you off guard. Be prepared. Tonight: You’re high-viz.

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
Today your work routine will be interrupted.

Daily horoscope for Sept. 3, 2024

Georgia Nicols — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 08:00:02 +0000

Moon Alert: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Virgo.

Happy Birthday for Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2024:

You are clever with a sharp, fast mind. You’re determined but also gentle in your perseverance. This is a slower paced year. Take time to rest and rejuvenate yourself. Focus on close friends and partners, and make sure these people have your back. It’s OK to ask for help.

ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Despite that back-to-school feeling, it’s hard to return to the grind today. People are not enthusiastic, including you. Do what you can, but cut yourself and others some slack. Summer is over, and it takes a while to crank to a new speed. Easy does it. Tonight: Work.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★★
You can’t ignore your responsibilities with children today, that’s for sure. Nevertheless, the wheels are a bit rusty, and it’s hard to get things going again. Don’t be judgmental of others. Be patient with them, and yourself. (Maybe you can play hooky today?) Tonight: Socialize.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★
Although Mars is in your sign lined up with Jupiter, which boosts your energy, Mars is also at odds with Neptune, which means you are robbed of this energy. (Whaat?) It’s like putting bread in water. Therefore, take it easy. Don’t make a big deal about anything. Tonight: Relax.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★
Because you might have expectations, if things don’t go well and you don’t have the energy to follow through, your disappointment might come out as criticism of others. Lighten up! Today everyone has heavy feet. It’s just what it is. Take it easy. Tonight: Discussions.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
Lower your standards a bit today. We all have that back-to-school feeling, which means we want to be shipshape, do things right, and be efficient and get a lot done to get back in the game. However, people are tired today. It’s that simple. Easy does it. Tonight: Check your belongings.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
Even though this is a powerful day because the Moon and the Sun are in your sign — in addition to which, Mars and Jupiter are lined up at the top of your chart — something is taking the wind out of your sails today. Don’t worry about it. Regroup another day. Tonight: You’re strong.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★
Don’t be hard on yourself, because today it’s challenging to get back in a groove even though everyone has expectations about doing so. The energy of Mars is washed out by its contact with Neptune, and this makes us feel a bit lazy and lackadaisical. “Who cares?” Take it easy. Do the basics. Tonight: Solitude.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
Enjoy warm friendships with others today. Be patient with kids, because they feel dragged out, as you might. The energy that most people feel today is not strong. It’s weak and a bit listless.

This is not a good day for important financial discussions, especially about inheritances, bills, taxes, debt or how to get your fair share of something. You’ll find it difficult to put all of yourself behind your words. You just don’t have the juice today. Tonight: Check your finances.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★
Don’t worry if you don’t have the energy to do everything you had hoped to get done at home and with family members. Just cover the basics. People are low energy and a bit tired today. The summer is over, and it takes a while to get cranked up. Patience. Tonight: Cooperate.
