Your daily horoscopes for Monday August 19, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Monday August 19
There’s strength in numbers today as the year’s only full moon in Aquarius electrifies your teamwork zone. Collabs pick up steam over the next two weeks, so make sure Team Ram is aligned. Use apps to organize projects and conversations. (Sorry, Aries, that WhatsApp group is getting WAY too chaotic.) Watch your funds carefully today, as the full moon gets snared in a T-square with Uranus and Mercury. Your urge to splurge—or just blow off your duties and play—could get costlier than planned.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Monday August 19
Today’s full moon lands in Aquarius, giving your career sector a burst of high-octane fuel. If a promising opportunity doesn’t literally land in your lap over the next two weeks, consider this your call to proactively pursue whatever’s next on your path. No need to rush in, even if you get an offer. La luna will be at odds with (retrograde) Mercury and disruptor Uranus, which is in Taurus. A personal project or home situation could compete for your attention. Pulling off your well-planned goals probably won’t happen without a hitch, but make time for them anyway.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Monday August 19
Lady Luck isn’t just in your corner today, Gemini; she’s placed all her chips on your side of the table. As the year’s only full moon in Aquarius activates your ninth house of good fortune, your gambling instincts are on! There’s no such thing as “leaping halfway.” When you catch yourself deliberating about something you KNOW you should do, remember this nudge from the universe. That said, la luna will form a tense T-square with disruptive Uranus and Mercury retrograde. Read the fine print on those exciting offers, especially if they sound too good to be true. There may not be a loophole, but you’ll be glad you double-checked all the same.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Monday August 19
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Monday August 19
No need to decide between “me” and “we” because today you get to have both! As the year’s only full moon in Aquarius powers up your partnership house, it shows you a more equitable path forward. Words of affirmation may be a Leo’s love language, but instead of waiting for validation, start giving it out freely. Just make sure you’re clear with your signals. The full moon is at odds with erratic Uranus AND Mercury retrograde (in Leo), which could put a strain on your negotiating powers.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Monday August 19
Get ready to show and prove, Virgo—without second-guessing yourself! Today marks the year’s only full moon in Aquarius, and it’s beaming into your industrious sixth house. People want to know where your loyalties lie, and you do NOT want to leave them questioning your devotion. But are they earning YOUR trust in return? With the full moon T-square Uranus and Mercury retrograde, you may suddenly notice things that slipped past your discerning eye. Maybe this person you’ve been enamored by isn’t totally on Team Virgo? Observe before you decide one way or the other.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Monday August 19
Cupid’s arrows are earmarked for YOU, thanks to the Aquarius full moon flipping on the high beams in your fifth house of romance. Over the next two weeks, focus on bringing more of yourself into the game of love. Let your authentic personality shine, and you’ll attract compatible prospects—or wake your partner back up to your slumbering magic. No one on the radar? Tap those apps! But get ready to sift through a few major mismatches (and swipe ‘em away fast). The full moon is at odds with unpredictable Uranus and Mercury retrograde, making it hard to know people’s motives. The big surprise: An attraction could spark up with an old friend or someone you overlooked in the past.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Monday August 19
Pass the tissues! As the year’s only full moon in Aquarius arrives, it opens up the floodgates in your sentimental fourth house. You might start tearing up at the slightest provocation (movie trailers, shelter puppies), so protect your emotional field. For the next couple weeks, your intuitive sensors are wide open, and you could pick up energy like a psychic sponge. With this full moon at odds with unpredictable Uranus and Mercury retrograde, be extra careful about the time you spend with a disruptive person from your inner circle. If you’re getting sucked into your partner or coworkers’ messes, detach and let them sort this out on their own.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Monday August 19
Joint ventures or solo missions? Well, Sagittarius, how about both? Today, the year’s only full moon in Aquarius activates your cooperative third house, which could help you seal the deal on an exciting collaboration. Sagittarius writers, bloggers and media makers will get a huge boost from la luna’s powerful beams. A local opportunity could open up as well, so get up to speed with hometown happenings. But keep the terms flexible! With the full moon in a tug of war with unpredictable Uranus and Mercury retrograde, even the best-laid plans could be subject to change without notice.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Monday August 19
Your money moves could set off a downpour of good fortune today! The Aquarius full moon is beaming into your second house of income. Translation? You’ve got the Midas touch—and the next few weeks are no time to sit around waiting for someone else to make it rain. Get proactive about opening those floodgates, even if it means hustling through the end of summer to pitch and promote. Fair warning, though: La luna will square off with Mercury retrograde and unpredictable Uranus. You could be tempted to spend it as fast as you make it or to make a risky investment. Do your research and wait another week or so for Mercury to correct course before you press “go.”

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Monday August 19
Step right up into the spotlight, Aquarius! Today’s full moon in YOUR sign puts your talents on the main stage, giving you a two-week window to promote your passions like the whole world was watching. (And it might be.) Some Water Bearers will find the courage and strength to try new things. What’s calling you loudly, Aquarius? It’s time to stop hesitating and take a risk. But be strategic about it. The full moon will lock into a challenging T-square with disruptor Uranus and Mercury retrograde. There could be changes on the homefront and misunderstandings in a key relationship to navigate. Don’t compromise on your dreams and plans though!
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Monday August 19
Support is all around you, Pisces, so why are you insisting on the struggle? Today’s full moon is in Aquarius and your twelfth house of surrender. If you want to heal, grow or just move on, listen to the wisdom of your guides. Some might even be whispering from the spirit realm! Someone from your past could show up to play “Earth Angel” and help you. But get ready, with la luna in a T-square to changemaker Uranus and Mercury retrograde, their wakeup-call could be jarring. Should bombshell news arrives, take a moment to ground yourself before you react or rush in for the save.
