Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Saturday August 24
Nesting alert! The moon spends the weekend in Taurus and your domestic fourth house. You might be feeling FOMO for the summer activities you didn’t get to—or you might be a little burnt from doing a few too many! Whatever the case, spend a couple days touching base with family, puttering around the house or walking on a beach before the crowds arrive. Saturday is especially perfect for restorative self-care. Sunday’s meeting of the moon and disruptive Uranus could stir the pot with a relative or roommate. A simple call to a relative could turn into a heated debate. You can’t avoid difficult topics forever. However, you’ll want to take a measured approach, feeling out the emotional temperature before plunging in to talk about the upcoming U.S. election or other heated world affairs. Your living situation could also be due for a change. Peruse the real estate listings or pick up some paint swatches. Just remember that Mercury is retrograde, and the moon-Uranus meetup is a fleeting transit. The urge to radically redecorate could pass before you even get a coat of color on the wall.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Saturday August 24
Make the most of summer’s last weekend! The moon is in Taurus and your social third house, putting you in the mood to mingle. Open your doors for hosting if you want, but don’t make the plans too elaborate. Your best bet is to stay on the move. A casual Saturday barbecue potluck with lawn games? Sure, but you could also meet friends at a few locantl hotspots. That way, when the urge to do something else hits, it will be much easier to slip out. On Sunday, the moon and pot-stirrer Uranus hold court in your communication house. Conversations could be heated and fast-paced, touching on some controversial topics. Don’t censor yourself, but sniff out the situation before you launch into a diatribe on, say, factory farming or the next election. If your mind is hungry for new ideas, cool off at the movie theater and watch a thought-provoking film. Or, just spend time perusing the stacks at an independent bookstore. Feed your need for mental stimulation—just make sure it’s in the company of people who can handle a friendly but spirited debate!
