It’s time to unwind (Picture: Metro.co.uk / Getty)

Brace yourselves for an enchanting and dreamy time ahead.

Neptune’s alignment with the Moon might have you feeling a bit distracted, sleepy even.

Aries, though you’re busy — this is allowing you to indulge in daydreams and take a break from stress.

And Gemini, don’t hesitate to unwind and catch up on a little rest — you must be exhausted.

Ahead, you’ll find all the star signs’ horoscopes for August 4, 2023. Read on for your full forecast

Aries

March 21 to April 20

Have too much to do, Aries? The Moon’s alliance with escapist Neptune means you might prefer to forget about it than get on with it. And perhaps this may be the better option. Rather than stress out or worry, this dreamy aspect encourages you to lose yourself in an inspiring movie or to go somewhere beautiful. It could be just the chance you need to refill your creative well.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Need to talk about an issue? If you put too much pressure on today, you could freeze up altogether. If you can leave it for today or even for a few hours and link up with friends, family or get involved in social activities, something may shift. By tomorrow you’ll be much more upbeat and find it easier to say what’s on your mind without needing to dilute it in any way.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

As a Gemini you love having a lot of projects on the go, some of which bear no relationship to each other. And with the pearly Moon cuddling up to dreamy Neptune, it may be even more difficult to concentrate on any one thing. This might be challenging if you have an urgent deadline and feel like going to sleep. Still, the best ideas can show up when you’re relaxing.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

You may have many reasons to spend time with someone special, which could make this a day to look forward to. The Moon’s closeness with Neptune means thoughts of this encounter might cause you to fantasize about how amazing it may be. And as Pluto is involved in the mix, there can be a touch of obsession too, making the prospect even more tempting and delicious.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

An opportunity may have its positives, but it could also have a few negatives, which is why it’s wise to look into it in some depth before you agree to anything. The same can be true of a purchase that looks perfect but might have flaws. You just need to use your judgement as it may be that the good points outweigh the bad. Keep receipts and paperwork just in case though, Leo.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

The focus on your sign can put you in a go-getter mood, especially with Mercury and Mars spurring you on, Virgo. But trying to make sense of a conversation or negotiating an agreement may be difficult today with impressionable Neptune in the picture. You need to set your sights on what you want and refuse to be swayed by other people’s attempts to influence your thinking.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

A lunar link to Neptune shimmering in your lifestyle sector, means sticking to a routine may not be the easiest thing. Sparkling ideas and impulses can lead you to change your mind and try something else that appeals to the imagination. You might be drawn to explore spiritual activities such as yoga or meditation, or get involved in colourful and enriching creative projects, Libra.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Watch out for the possibility of mixed messages, as Pisces and Neptune influences could inadvertently cause some confusion. This gentle energy can mean you’re sensitive to other people’s vibes and trying hard to say the right thing so as not to offend. It may send the wrong signals though, so being tactfully honest Scorpio, will be your best bet and help avoid muddles.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

While sensitive energies can inspire you to keep a low profile, Mars in a prominent sector might encourage you to revel in any attention you get, and even to take the lead. Just for today though, be sure to simplify matters as much as you can. It’s easy for mistakes to occur, and these could cause you to miss out on a potentially great offer or opportunity. Keep awake and alert, Archer!

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Others may be hard-headed and know exactly what they want, but you could be in the opposite camp today and inclined to give in too easily. If someone offers you a chance to get involved in a scheme, you might not want to embarrass them by asking any searching questions. This would be a mistake though, Capricorn. Trust your gut, and if you feel that something’s not right, run with it.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

It’s essential to know what you want and stick with it, otherwise you may end up with something that’s no use at all. You could be mesmerized and seduced into thinking something else can be better, which might be a mistake. Mind, the lingering Mars/Jupiter link may alert you to something you really don’t want to miss. If you’re signing anything legal, get it checked out first.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

The stellar map suggests you’ll prefer to give someone the benefit of the doubt and accept them at their word. Plus, with the Moon and misty Neptune in your sign, it can be easy to attribute this person with personality traits they don’t have. With relentless Pluto also in the mix though, a friend may encourage you to be more cautious, which is a good idea at least for today, Pisces.
