August 17: Your daily horoscope

BIRTHDAY STAR: Actor Taissa Farmiga was born on this day in 1994 in Readington Township, New Jersey. This birthday star portrayed Gladys Russell in the series “The Gilded Age.” She also played various roles in “American Horror Story” from 2011 to 2018 and appeared in episodes of “50 States of Fright,” “The Twilight Zone,” and “Wicked City.” Farmiga’s film portfolio includes roles in “The Mule,” “The Nun,” and “Buried Child.”

ARIES (March 21 – April 19): It can be difficult to solve common challenges without upsetting someone. It can be helpful to find ways to fulfill your responsibilities while being cooperative. A unique or unusual entertainment could brighten up your weekend.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): It's good to stay grounded when things are hanging in the balance. The best way to deal with uncertainty might be to stay calm and flexible. If you get into trouble, you might find friends who will stand by you and help you get through it.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20): When achieving your goals, focus on what is best for you. Sometimes it's hard to pinpoint exactly what's been holding you back, but keep going. Eventually, you'll break through.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22): Major financial decisions should not be set in stone at this time. Focus on allowing more flexibility in plans and scheduling, as changes can occur without warning. You may be able to take advantage of shifting loyalties.

Leo (July 23 – August 22): Confidence may be high, but it would be wise to resist the urge to make drastic changes or take unnecessary risks. If you only focus on the bottom line, you may end up alone at the bottom, so look for ways to be kind to those you love.

VIRGO (23 August – 22 September): You may be faced with the challenge of choosing between abundance and famine. When it comes to money, you're either a spendthrift or a stingy person, so it might be best to simply wait for a more opportune time to make an important purchase.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): Focus on the facts, not speculation. Others may think you're more successful than you actually are, and this may cause you to try a little harder to avoid disappointment. Make sure expectations are reasonable from the start.

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): Let your heart guide you. The best advice may not be the first you hear. Take the time to ask questions before making decisions. Your calm and patient approach may be greatly appreciated in unpredictable situations.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21): If you show energy and enthusiasm, you can motivate your friends or family to join in and help with your favorite project. Perhaps now is a good time to call in favors or ask someone close to you for advice or counsel.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19): When something breaks or stops working, you may have the opportunity to make much-needed improvements. Consider embracing the latest technology and take initiative when it's obvious that change might make sense.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): No one is an island. You may not be able to get an important project off the ground if you don't have the support of others. Your insights could be more valuable than your funds – instead of hoarding resources, be generous until it becomes a habit.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20): Your feelings are reflected in your thoughts. Before you set your future course, take the time to recover. Wise decisions come from a nurtured soul, so rely on friends to give you valuable advice.

IF AUGUST 17 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You can spend the next two to three weeks making the rounds in your social circle and enjoying expanding your network of friends and allies who may be happy to follow your example. The first half of September could test your patience as excessive competition and determination put you at odds with authority figures. You could rebel against the status quo or face big changes in October and November. Conditions could change, so it might be wise to hold out until the dust settles. By late November or later, you could be feeling wiser and more grounded, which may be a good time to make important decisions about new opportunities, your career, or your finances.
