Ahead, you’ll find all the star signs’ horoscopes for August 18, 2023. Read on for your full daily forecast.

Aries

March 21 to April 20

You could be in a romantic mood and certain that a developing tie has the kind of potential you’ve been dreaming of. Don’t rush into anything too fast, as this person is human which means they also have imperfections. You may not be able to see them just now, but give it time and you might. Will you still feel the same when you find out what they’re really like? Wait and see!

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Mars begins its opposition with dreamy Neptune, which is exact next week. Today though, the Sun also forges an awkward angle to this sensitive planet, which means you’ll be in two minds about attending an event. The idea of staying at home or doing your own thing might clash with a fear of missing out. If you stand to gain from this, it may be worth pushing yourself, Taurus.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

You might experience feelings of uncertainty concerning your abilities, and wonder if you’ll ever feel confident. And yet others have total faith in you, and may be expecting you to work a miracle or two. Still, this is a time when your perception of things can be skewed, and that includes your thoughts about yourself. They are likely wrong, so if a friend praises you, listen!

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

If you’re trying to create a sensible and workable plan despite everything being a tad chaotic, then bravo! With Neptune skewing the details, you’ll need to be on the ball as there is some potential for things to go wrong. The good news is that your friends have your back. They’ll wade in to give a helping hand if you need it. And it’s very possible you will over coming days.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Your sixth sense may kick in, alerting you to an issue that needs some insight, Leo. The Sun’s nebulous tie suggests the truth is there somewhere, but you’ll have to find it. You could ask someone for clarity, but they may be every bit as confused as you. Getting some distance from a slippery matter may allow insights to bubble up, helping you to make much wiser decisions.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

You have a lot going for you, and now is the time to prove it. Just don’t listen to others if they criticize your work or your ideas. The Sun and Mars angle towards Neptune, so you might want to hide away rather than shine your light. As this is a temporary aspect, avoid taking anything too personally. You may be more sensitive than usual, but don’t let it stop you in your tracks.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

You may think you’re making sense, but are you? There’s plenty of room for confusion, no matter how hard you try to get your message across. This isn’t the best time to delegate tasks as you’re better off doing them yourself. There’s a chance that trusting someone with a project or important job will only end in tears. Leaving it for another time may be the better option, Libra.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

There’s a very grounded focus ongoing, which means that circles and groups you’re a part of, whether online or off, could provide a sensible backdrop to whatever is going on. The Sun’s uncomfortable aspect with Neptune suggests you’re embracing a creative streak. Even so, you may doubt your ability to do something important. If your friends think you can, believe them!

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Energy levels might not be as buoyant as usual, which is down to a potentially draining influence. If you feel tired, then you may need to rest. And while this isn’t always easy, at least try to relax this evening and have an early night. You could want to simplify your schedule too, as the Mars/Neptune link peaks in a few days. Rationing your energy when you can, may help, Archer.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

You may have no qualms about helping a friend if they ask for it. But you likely have matters of your own that require attention. If their neediness has become a habit, encouragement to become more self-reliant could help. There’s nothing wrong with setting firmer boundaries, Capricorn. And soon you’ll quickly realize why they are so necessary to your own peace and progress.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

If you’ve been caught out once, then it’s unlikely you will be so again. But with some confusing aspects on the go, stay alert regarding financial matters. If you get a sense that something is not right, do some detective work. You want to be kind, and while this is commendable, can you really afford to be quite so generous? It helps to be practical too.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

While cautious Saturn at the start of your sign can spur you on, links to ethereal Neptune could have the opposite effect. You might go with the flow rather than proactively rowing your boat to your desired destination. Keep your goal in mind and take baby steps. Over coming days this dreamy phase continues, so be very careful when handling key issues or finalizing deals, Pisces.
