Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Saturday August 3
Summer fun is about to kick into gear for you, Aries. But first, Saturday invites you to recalibrate. The almost-new moon in Leo and your pleasure-driven fifth house opposes Pluto in your friendship sector, drawing a hard line between who’s “a total blast” and who’s overly dramatic or destructive. Is it time to distance yourself from those in the latter camp? On Sunday, the Leo new moon brings a heart-opening fresh start, illuminating your fifth house of passion, self-expression and romance. Some late-summer lovin’ could be in the cards! But don’t rush in. Venus moves into discerning Virgo, and on Monday, Mercury turns retrograde for three weeks. A thrilling connection could sizzle then fizzle.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Saturday August 3
