We’re constantly fascinated by what our zodiac sign says about our lives, whether it's which signs are most compatible or how each sign handles conflict in relationships. That's why Bustle has enlisted Mecca Woods, a New York City-based astrologer of MyLifeCreated.com, to tell us all about how astrology is affecting our lives each day. Today's topic: your daily horoscope for Aug. 31, 2017.

The Moon shifts into no-nonsense Capricorn today, putting us in the mood to work hard and get down to business. Though much of that work may involve tying up loose ends as Mercury, the planet of thought and communication retrogrades back into Leo, bringing the themes of the August 21st Solar Eclipse in Leo back up for review. With Mercury back in Leo, our focus turns to communicating and handling matters with passion and authenticity. By the late evening, the Capricorn Moon meets up with the Sun in Virgo, which motivates us to live from a place of purpose, dedication, and ingenuity.

Read below to see what today's stars mean for your sign.
