Be diplomatic in your conversations with family members right now, especially parents and grandparents. Enjoy leisure time but avoid risky monetary choices, such as gambling. Just being or working outdoors should engage your creativity and spiritual side. Follow your gut. You are full of joy and generosity as you move from monotony to love or perhaps lust. Others are in tune as you connect emotionally. You feel satisfied and amped up. Try to rise above the mean, the small-minded and plan something larger than life today. Keep a check on pulse and vigor.

Don’t let anyone dim your light, Taurus. This Saturday brings the year’s first Virgo new moon—and the first in a rare, back-to-back pair. The follow-up, a solar eclipse on September 21, will supercharge whatever you launch now and might even bring surprising twists. Today’s lunation powers up your fifth house of fame, passion, and self-expression, making it the perfect moment to showcase your talents or dive into a creative project. Been holding back instead of speaking up? This bold cosmic energy lowers your inhibitions and invites you to step into the spotlight. Bonus: In the coming days, your confidence could draw in an admirer—or a whole new fan base. Caveat: You might want to bite your tongue here and there on Sunday. The Virgo Sun in your self-expressive fifth house gets into a throwdown with radical Uranus in your second house of values. You've been putting up with something (or someone) for too long, and it feels as if you don't speak up, you might explode. The trouble is, you won’t easily find a diplomatic way to get this off your chest. Rocking the boat could capsize an important connection today. Vent to a levelheaded third party instead of taking this one to the mat.
