HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, August 24, 2026.

There isn’t much happening astrologically today, which gives us a brief reprieve from some of the more challenging cosmic weather that comes with eclipse season. We can make the most of the day by using it to catch up on any outstanding work or find our footing as we begin a new week. Today can also be useful for tending to our physical well-being and prioritising self-care, since it can help with alleviating stress and tension and give us the fuel needed to keep up with our busy lives.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Put boundaries on your time and energy so that you don’t end up taking on more than necessary.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

Be mindful of getting stuck due to limited thinking. Think much bigger — and brighter.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

It might be necessary to distance yourself from someone to protect your emotional well-being. Honour your boundaries.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

Partnering with the right person could be beneficial for your career or personal growth.

LEO (July 23 to Aug 22)

Breaking a big goal down into smaller steps can help make the process easier.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22)

You deserve some “me time”. Why not kick off the start of your birthday season by pampering yourself?

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22)

Aim to spend quality time with your family. Plan a fun outing, or share a meal together in the comfort of someone’s home.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21)

If you have a backlog of work to do, today can be useful for clearing it out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21)

Exercising self-discipline will pay off. Now is not the time to overdo anything or overindulge.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19)

Don’t be so hard on yourself. You deserve as much grace as the next person.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18)

Hold off on making any important or big decisions until you’re feeling more sure of yourself.

PISCES (Feb 19 to March 20)

You’ll find strength in numbers. Don’t hesitate to call on others if you need support.

FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

You’re resourceful and versatile. There’s hardly anything that you can’t do. However, recognising the importance of rest and getting support from others may be lessons that you’re still learning. While you might be a disciplined and dedicated worker, you’re worth so much more than the amount of labour that you do. This year, your homework is to reconnect with the kid who lives within you. What were you like before the world told you what you should be?
