Happy Birthday for Wednesday, Aug. 30, 2023:

You are a leader who gets things done because you know how to delegate. You are organized and proficient. This year is the last year of a nine-year cycle for you, which means it’s time to give up anyone or anything that is holding you back. Clear the decks!

ARIES

TAURUS

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★
Today you might feel pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career or your public reputation. This is due to the energy of today’s Full Moon. You cannot ignore the demands of home and family, especially those of a parent. Good luck. Tonight: Patience.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★
Pay attention to everything you say and do, because this is an accident-prone day for you. An accident doesn’t have to happen, but it might if you are emotionally distracted, which is possible due to the energy of today’s Full Moon. Slow down and take it easy. Tonight: Be mindful.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★
Financial squabbles or disagreements about ownership as well as responsibilities might arise today. This is a tricky day, because this particular Full Moon is also lined up with Mercury retrograde. Issues from the past can’t be ignored. Tonight: Check your finances.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★
Today the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place, which will likely create tension between you and spouses, partners and close friends. This also might be related to the fact that ex-spouses and partners are back on the scene. Stay mellow. Tonight: Be cooperative.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★
Hidden tension might affect your job today. It also might affect your health or something to do with a pet. Basically, something is going on behind the scenes, possibly related to the past, that is creating some angst in your life. Take a step back. Take a breath. You can deal with this. Tonight: Patience.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★
Romance is in the toilet today. People are too emotional and possibly jealous of old flames or past situations. Don’t let your emotions cloud judgment and reason. Be patient with kids and social situations that might suddenly go sideways. Tonight: Get organized.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★
Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place, which could create increased tension when dealing with those closest to you — dear friends, partners and spouses.
