Your daily horoscopes for Wednesday August 27, 2025
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 27
You might feel like the lone holdout in the herd, Aries, but you’ve never been one for groupthink. As diplomatic Venus faces off with manipulative Pluto, you may find it especially hard to know who to trust. Is the data not adding up? Ask questions, lots of questions. And don’t let anyone off the hook if they have some explaining to do. Better you should rock the boat a bit and voice a dissenting opinion than go down with the ship. For all you know, people will think your ideas are better anyway (and let’s admit it, they probably are).
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 27
There’s a wide chasm between power and force, Taurus, and most days you can spot it at a glance. But stay alert today. Diplomatic Venus faces off with tyrannical Pluto today, making it hard to see where that line is drawn. You could be so obsessed with results that you lose touch with your compassion. If the people around you are unhappy, there could be mutiny on Team Taurus. Take time to listen to their “complaints.” Some small adjustments could keep everyone happy—and productive.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 27
The status quo has never done it for you, Gemini—and less so than ever today! With probing Pluto and artsy Venus locked in an opposition across your sectors of communication and ideas, don’t settle for “meh.” Even if you wind up working a little longer and harder, stretch outside the box for inspiration. Researching can literally put the world at your fingertips. Better yet, set up that OOO status and go do some field research to see what the competition is up to. An after-work lecture or cultural event has Gemini written all over it.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 27
Don’t be so quick to brush off that “impractical” idea, Cancer, especially if it charges you up inside. Sultry Pluto is housed in the most scintillating part of your chart and today, it’s in a dynamic opposition to creative, romantic Venus. You’re bound to be surprised by what (and who) turns you on—and off. Try not to judge your instinctual reactions. The body keeps the score, after all. Feel your way through situations instead of trying to figure them out in your head.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 27
Caution: Power struggles ahead. With Venus touring Leo until September 19, you’re learning great lessons about caring for yourself. But today the love planet faces off with controlling Pluto in your relationship zone. Someone you genuinely adore may be triggered by your newfound confidence, preferring to see you in a more agreeable role. Stick up for your preferences and don’t let yourself be pressured into being “nice” at your own expense. On the other hand, you may be drawn to someone who emanates authority. While you love a challenge, playing second fiddle won’t be fun for long.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 27
Your imagination is off the charts today, but the devil is in the details. It’ll be tempting to dive into an endeavor that appeals to your creative side. But pause for a little project management as Venus and the Pluto face off today. You could waste valuable time and money by taking the “fools rush in” approach. Plus crunching the numbers might reveal an opportunity to do more that you thought was possible in the first place. Get the facts, then get your hands dirty with those DIY supplies.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 27
Should you take one for the team today, Libra? Not if doing so could drag down your hard-earned reputation. A show of solidarity can be a good thing sometimes, but not always. By rushing in to fix someone’s else’s flub—or even to take some of the heat—you could prevent people from learning important lessons from their own mistakes. Or you may both wind up paying the price. As your ruler Venus opposes powermonger Pluot, think carefully about how you show support and consider offering it in a quieter way.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 27
You’re in a productive groove today, and a creative one too, thanks to enchanting Venus cruising through your career house. But subterranean Pluto (your ruler) is opposing the glamorous planet, bringing distractions and drama from your inner circle. If you’re on a roll, don’t stop to answer every DM and group text. It’s probably NOT a true emergency, even if they are all worked up over a personal matter. Wait until you’ve accomplished a good chunk of your goals before taking a break to call them back. Your needs are as important as theirs.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 27
Our teachers come in many forms, Sagittarius, and today you could learn your greatest lessons from the people who genuinely irritate you. Don’t be so quick to shoo away that “pick me!” type who keeps pestering you for attention. What do they actually want from you—do you even know? Spend a little time together and you could discover a whole new dimension to their personality. And here’s the rub: The things that annoy you about this person might be the very qualities you struggle to accept in yourself. Rewind and be kind—and curious!

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 27
Live a little, would ya, Capricorn? Today’s daring duel between romantic Venus and seductive Pluto could draw you closer to something you’ve had a secret curiosity about. Here’s the million-dollar question: What might happen if you listened to your desire instead of constantly shutting it down? You’ve been intrigued by a person or idea for a while, yet it hasn’t lined up with your vision of how things “should” be. Take a few steps in this direction. You might just discover a fulfilling new path.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 27
You’re in your take-charge element today, Aquarius, but be careful not to throw your weight around in relationships. Even using your charms to get people to do something on your behalf could wind up backfiring, leaving you accused of manipulative behavior. Keeping a balance of power is what will ensure continued happiness and harmony with the important people in your life. So remember: Just because you CAN get away with slacking or strong-arming doesn’t mean you should. It will catch up with you eventually.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 27
Keep it on the up and up today, Fish. With lusty Venus opposing scintillating Pluto, you could be drawn toward clandestine connections. A secret rendezvous will certainly light your fire—for the moment. But this one is bound to be followed by a crash, especially when the guilt and what-if worries inevitably kick in. Don’t take any risks with your health, either. If you’re feeling blah, call a qualified MD instead of self-medicating or diagnosing with Dr. Google.
