Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Thursday August 29
Even the zodiac’s warrior has to concede that, ultimately, love wins! At least, it will finish in the money starting today, when amorous Venus sails into Libra and makes big waves in your seventh house of partnerships.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Thursday August 29
Put self-care on the calendar—as often as possible! You may not need a reminder now as your ruling planet, decadent Venus, sweeps into Libra and your sixth house of health and service until September 22. The next few weeks are perfect for pampering and taking care of all those things that fall to the bottom of the priority list. Massage and spa pedicures are a good start, but this is also the time to tend to ALL your health concerns, whether you’re treating symptoms or using preventative medicine (like acupuncture or herbs) to keep your mind and body in tiptop shape. Regular exercise, nutritious meals and sufficient hydration are the most holistic ways to get your gorgeous glow on!

Single Gems who’ve been wondering when love was going to arrive can pirouette back into the dating game. But don’t wait for amour to find you. Get proactive! Check out new features on your dating apps, change your search parameters, get out more in IRL and flex those flirting muscles. Couples will enjoy a romantic reboot between now and September 22.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Thursday August 29
It’s hardly breaking news to a Cancer, but with Venus—goddess of luxury and romance—camping out in your fourth house of foundations and family, home is where your heart will be until September 22. While you COULD just hide out under a cashmere throw the whole time, this isn’t an excuse to start an early hibernation. When you inspect your digs through beautifying Venus’ eyes, you may be inspired to implement some of the decor inspo that you’ve gathered on Pinterest. Coupled Crabs could turn this into a joint project or, if you live separately, to start getting cozier in each other’s respective dens.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Thursday August 29
Today, vivacious Venus strides into Libra and your communication corner until September 22, cranking up your magnetism to immeasurable levels. Self-expression is the theme of these next few weeks—with Venus’ signature seduction and flair for fashion. Got a big pitch to make to clients? Want to update your social media feeds? Have a webinar you’d love to get off the ground? Yes, yes and YES to all the above! Keep an open mind when it comes to dating and forming new friendships. Some very different types could spark your interest—and some surprising synergy.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Thursday August 29
Fiscal restraint is a good thing, but today, when luxury-loving Venus lopes into Libra and your material-minded second house until September 22, the urge to splurge may prove irresistible. An unrestrained retail-therapy spree isn’t recommended, however. For starters, there’s the matter of the credit card bill. For another thing, the minute you cut the tags off your new treasures, they’ll lose some of their shimmer. (That’s just how brain chemistry works). So make a deal with yourself, o’ analytical one. Home in on a few objects that make your heart sing every time you see them. Research prices and find THE best deal. Set a budget…and over the coming four weeks, let yourself indulge! Just make sure things are as practical as they are beautiful.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Thursday August 29
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Thursday August 29
Life might get a little surreal over the next few weeks with dreamy Venus drifting into Libra and sprinkling her special blend of pixie dust in your twelfth house of escape. Until September 22, visions, daydreams and epiphanies might be more appealing than ordinary life as the line between fantasy and reality blurs. That’s not a bad thing! When it comes to creative and spiritual pursuits, you’ll be in constant communication with the muse. Romantically, Venus could sweep you into a fairy-tale mindset. Turn inward and listen to your intuition. If that’s not forthcoming, however, don’t don the rose-colored glasses. Get the facts before falling in deeper! If all else fails, know that Venus will head into Scorpio next, make you the planet’s most desired.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Thursday August 29
There’s no question which will win out in the “style versus substance” contest over the coming few weeks. As idealistic Venus strides into Libra and your progressive eleventh house until September 22, you’ll be far more attracted to a person’s intellect and ideals than what’s on the surface. During this four-week cycle that emphasizes communication and connectivity, your biggest turn-on will be deep dialogues, brilliant banter and sparkling wit. Couples will enjoy spending more playtime together, perhaps organizing a brainy team and becoming regulars at the local pub’s trivia night.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Thursday August 29
Business and pleasure: the perfect Capricorn cocktail! Today, social mixologist Venus shimmies into Libra, stirring up your tenth house of career until September 22. Since Venus IS the planet of romance, you might feel sparks with someone you keep bumping into at industry events. This is also an opportunity to become chummier with a few coworkers. It’s good for morale, plus you might have a lot more in common that you realize. Venus amps up your creative juices, so try approaching a situation that has you stymied from a different perspective. You can seal your rep as the office genius!

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Thursday August 29
Don’t impose limits or boundaries on love when idealistic Venus lands in Libra and your house of worldly expansion today. Single Aquarians should stay open about potential prospects between now and September 22. Older, younger, different background, gender or religion: If you feel a spark, pursue! Attached Aquarians can reconnect by planning a couple’s getaway—maybe one featuring a class or workshop (academic or perhaps something a little steamier). Regardless of your relationship status, you’ll appreciate having the freedom to stretch in new directions. With the love planet in this jet-setting zone, long-distance needn’t be a deal breaker. This can make you a more global citizen!
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Thursday August 29
Close your door, pull down the shades… Things are about to get a whole lot steamier starting today as vixen Venus shifts into Libra and vibrates through your seductive eighth house until September 22. Whether you’re single or happily attached, these next few weeks can help you steer a relationship into deeper waters. Need to get your groove back? Start with gentle movement, like yoga. (Some Pisces may find burlesque or partner-dancing more to their liking.) Creatively, you’ll do some incredible work behind the scenes. Leave lots of white space on the calendar. The muse might even wake you in the middle of the night after sending you inspiration in a dream!
