Your daily horoscopes for Wednesday August 30, 2023
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 30
Feelings run deep and strong under today’s full blue moon in Pisces, the only one of the year. Because this activates your twelfth house of introspection and intuition, you may have some sudden revelations about the closest people in your life, relationships that are (realistically) not tenable anymore, and how you might finally drop or alter a counterproductive habit. But don’t try to force yourself to do anything. Just keep shining a bright light on this, and you may naturally begin to alter your behavior.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 30
When’s the last time you let the amazing people on Team Taurus know how much you appreciate them? Today’s actually a perfect day for that, thanks to 2023’s only Pisces full moon—a rare blue moon—lighting up your eleventh house of pals, platonic partners and playmates. Depending on what’s appropriate—in terms of your connections and safety precautions—you might want to throw a little celebratory fest, host a happy hour or give everyone a gift card. Small but sincere gestures will be meaningful!
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 30
The Magic 8 Ball says, “You may rely on it!” Today’s accelerating and revealing Pisces full blue moon in your tenth house of career success offers a clearly lit path to the top. This is one of the best days, kicking off one of the most exciting two weeks of your professional year! But your hard work and the payoff are NOT a magic trick. You’ve been pulling off a superhuman feat, and now you’re ready to reap your reward. Your next big move: deciding what’s next.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 30
Whether or not you’ll get to take full advantage of the year’s only Pisces full blue moon in your ninth house of travel, adventure and exploration, there’s no reason you can’t make the most of its expansive theme. These next two weeks are peak manifesting time for widening your horizons in any ways that excite you. You might sign up for an immersive language class or an advanced cooking workshop. Some Cancers may finally be ready to TEACH one! The key is stretching out of your comfort zone.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 30
It’s a no-holds-barred kind of day, at least in the “seduction and intimacy” department as the annual Pisces full moon illuminates your eighth house of sex, shared resources and merging. And because it’s a rare blue moon, think about doing something out of the ordinary (in bed). Wherever you’re at on the continuum, you can take a bold leap forward under these manifesting moonbeams. A new(ish) union could explode into a passionate and deep connection while a solid relationship might be ready for a significant next step. Single? Get busy over the next two weeks— peak manifesting time!
Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 30
Two is definitely your lucky number starting today and over the next two weeks! The year’s only Pisces full moon powers up your seventh house of committed partnerships. And because it’s a rare blue moon, you could do something wildly out of character to move the needle on a relationship. If you’re currently unattached, this would be a great time to come up with a new strategy for meeting people on your wavelength—and vowing to be a LITTLE less fussy. While some couples will be ready to take an ambitious next step, those who’ve been suffering in silence might decide it’s finally time to consciously uncouple.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 30
Cleanup in the Libra aisle! Today’s full moon in Pisces, the only one of 2023, shines a spotlight on every greasy streak and dust bunny in your space. If you weren’t motivated BEFORE to get your house in order, you might be now! This annual event can spark a decluttering mission or inspire you to start eating lower on the food chain and getting daily exercise in. Don’t set unrealistic goals, though. Slow and steady is what’ll win this race. That said, this is a rare blue moon, so try looking in a new direction for meals and workouts that inspire you.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 30
Passion: rising! Today, the year’s only Pisces full moon sends jolts through your fifth house of fun, playfulness and pleasure. This is a rare blue moon and an empowering chance to impress someone whose attention you’ve been trying to capture, whether an influential exec at the office or a potential love interest. You’ll have ‘em way before hello—especially if you dial up your famous Scorpio charm. Over the next two weeks, your sizzling AND creative mojo is in high gear, so take a little risk on something you’ve been circling around.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 30
The year’s only Pisces full moon lands in your fourth house of home, family and foundations, inspiring you to gird up anything that’s wobbly (yet important) in those areas. For some Archers, that’ll mean getting the Sagittarius Palace shipshape, clearing out months of paperwork, tackling closets and drawers and any other housekeeping. Others will harness the rare energy of this blue moon to make a major decor change or possibly find a new address. The next two weeks are ideal for spending quality time with your inner circle—WHAT you do is less important than HOW you bond.
