Your daily horoscopes for Friday August 16, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Friday August 16
Sometimes “success” comes from dumb luck, but today’s stars suggest that “victory” will more likely come from sustained effort. The industrious Capricorn moon is sailing through your tenth house of career ambition, and it’s getting a ping from charming Venus in your sixth house of hard work, routines and organization. The message: Narrow your focus, hunker down and put the pedal to the metal. The finish line—and celebratory dinner—are within sight!
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Friday August 16
All work and no play makes for one boring Bull, and lucky for you, today’s stars have very different ideas than for you to be glued to the computer, phone or spreadsheets. With the emo moon sailing through your adventurous ninth house in cahoots with Venus in your flirty, fun-loving fifth house, you’re up for almost any escapade. Reach out to a spontaneous friend and see what they’re thinking. Before you quit work for the day, you may have hatched a plan that you can hardly wait to dive into.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Friday August 16
You could be torn between spending time alone and indulging your urge to merge. It can go either way, depending on who (if anyone) you choose to reach out to. The grounded Capricorn moon is flitting through your seductive eighth house, ramping up your powers of attraction while also drawing you inward. And a connection to Venus in Virgo in your home zone could inspire you to lure someone into your web—or hole up solo. The question is, What does your heart (not your head) truly desire?
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Friday August 16
All kinds of relationships get sparked under today’s harmonious alignment of the grounded Capricorn moon in your partnership zone and Venus in your communication house. If you’re in a relationship, this could herald a special night, so clear the decks of any non-obligatory commitments and enjoy. For single Crabs, this could foretell a fortuitous swipe or a conversation that piques your interest on a whole new level. Stay open to the spontaneous vibes of the day—and especially the night.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Friday August 16
No one says work has to be a struggle (the old “misery is optional” thing), and today’s stars encourage you to proactively take steps to up the fun quotient in whatever the day’s undertaking is. The moon is in industrious Capricorn and your efficient sixth house, which narrows your focus to the task at hand. But la luna is getting jolts of stimulation from creative Venus in your house of money and security, inspiring you to think outside the box when it comes to your earnings. Finish the week strong and you’ll rev up your revenue for a strong start to fall!

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Friday August 16
Keep the schedule flexible today, Virgo. With Venus shooting sparks in your sign, you’re recalling the joy that comes from pursuing the path that brings you the most pleasure. And today’s harmonious hookup with the moon in your fifth house of passion and creative expression could inspire you to reveal the depth of your feelings for someone—or to pick up a pen, paintbrush or guitar and make art simply for art’s sake. Follow your muse wherever she leads you.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Friday August 16
Find joy in simple pleasures today, Libra. With comfort-loving Venus in your introspective zone aligned with the grounded Capricorn moon in your foundational fourth house, your thoughts, imagination and innermost circle will provide the best possible sustenance for you. It’s a perfect day to clear a long-looming project off your plate or, if you have outdoor space, do some gardening—even that only translates to “weeding.” Getting out of your head and into nature will do you a world of good. A soothing Friday night in, whether solo or over dinner with your closest circle, could be just what your spirit needs.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Friday August 16
Your friends are your most valuable asset, so take full advantage today. Thanks to a harmonious mashup of the moon and hedonistic Venus in your people houses, there’ll be no keeping a spirited Scorpio down. With the weekend in front of you, you’ve got time to see and be seen. There’s no reason you can’t bask in the glow of your friendships and bring the crew together. For single Scorpios, one of the “platonics” could suddenly hold romantic potential.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Friday August 16
The week’s not over till it’s over! Good news on the work front could come from out of the blue today as the stabilizing Capricorn moon in your financial zone aligns with people-centric Venus in your career corner. Don’t just delete-delete-delete emails or ignore those DMs. An old boss or colleague—or someone you connected with at an industry event—might contact you with an exciting opportunity. It may not immediately lead to anything, but it’s still a contact worth renewing.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Friday August 16
Play it safe—or just go play? As the moon in your practical, reliable sign gets a wink from capricious Venus in your spontaneous ninth house, the vibe is decidedly “summer Friday.” If at all possible, follow the temptation to log out early today and catch a plane or train to…wherever the beautiful people hang or at least, somewhere that offers new vistas. There’s also plenty of fun you can get up to closer to home.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Friday August 16
You could have an epiphany around an emotional issue that’s been sticking in your side as the moon in your intuitive twelfth house aligns with Venus in your eighth house of mysteries, depth and intense feelings. You’ll be more perceptive—and receptive—today, so be careful who you spend time with because you’re sure to absorb their energy. A gentle movement class, a guided meditation or long soak in a hot bath might be all you’re up for tonight.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Friday August 16
For single Pisces, the line between “friends” and “way more” could be hard to discern under today’s energizing alignment between the sensual moon in your friendship sector and ardent Venus in your relationship zone. Sparks could ignite so fast—and intensely—that this almost seems fated. If it’s that strong, pursue cautiously so you don’t lose a solid friend. Attached? Look for a way to volunteer together or do something high-vibe to reinvigorate your most important shared values.
