Sunday, Aug. 31

You are radiant, resilient and full of creativity.

Aries (March 21-April 19). A friend’s wild idea or strange suggestion might be exactly what your day needs.

Taurus (April 20-May 20). When you care, you don’t skim the surface — you dive. Your attention is a magnifying glass; wherever you point it, the world sharpens.

Gemini (May 21-June 21). Every plan has strengths and weaknesses, but you can’t possibly know what they are until implementation.

Cancer (June 22-July 22). Keep following the little tugs of interest you feel. Your curiosity leads you to ask a simple question and open a deeper layer. What you find will change how you think about a situation, and maybe how you think about yourself.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Though energy may wane, push through. Exercise will invigorate you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). People get so fixated on things like guest lists or who sits next to whom because they understand how powerful one interaction can be. The mix of personalities will be everything today.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve always cared about fairness. But lately, you’ve been more focused on kindness, which is different.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re absorbing subtext, reading people, gathering intelligence. As for mental arguments that only you can hear, they do serve a purpose. You’ll work out the pros and cons of a decision before you ever take the risk.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t have to labor all the time to earn your place. You’ve already done enough. Make choices that preserve your energy and sanity. Go out. Get what you want. Treat your people. Charge what you’re worth. And don’t look back.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re willingly exposing something you made, your effort or your ideas, to feedback. This you do in full knowledge that it might be picked apart or criticized. That takes guts. Most people avoid that vulnerability, but you’re not most people.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You want to do a thing, then you do it. It seems simple enough, but it’s remarkable to risk feeling a fool, or decide that success doesn’t matter in the least. What matters is that you do what you say, and you say what you do.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). The usual labels, like good, bad, victim, hero, don’t apply cleanly in real life. People can be contradictory: someone wholesome may still have hidden motives; someone who bends the rules may be doing it for the right reasons.

Meditation

“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.”

— Psalms 51:17

God cannot refuse a broken and repentant heart. Cast your cares upon Him. He cares about you.
