Here’s Your Horoscope For Today: August 17, 2021
Spending time with friends and like-minded people can lift our spirits.
In this daily horoscope for August 17, Bustle’s resident astrologer Mecca Woods, founder of My Life Created, shares the astrological events happening today that will affect every zodiac sign. Below, here’s a look at how astrology will affect our lives today.
The moon remains stationed in optimistic Sagittarius until late tonight. However, with the moon facing off with confusing Neptune in Pisces in the early afternoon, we might not be feeling too optimistic. The best way to navigate this cosmic weather is by seeking out the things that uplift as we work on releasing the things that don’t.
Luckily, we get a cosmic mood boost by the late afternoon when the moon in Sagittarius meets up with the confident Sun in warm and playful Leo. This sun-moon combo provides us with the enthusiasm and self-assured attitude needed to achieve our goals or to turn things around for the better. With the Sagittarius moon also teaming up with lucky Jupiter in Aquarius by the late evening, spending time with friends and like-minded people can lift our spirits.
Read below to see what the stars mean for your zodiac sign today, and make sure to check out your August 2021 monthly horoscope.
