Filters: off! You’re unapologetically expressive today thanks to an alignment of the Leo Sun and healing Chiron in your sign. Say it with your fashion choices and let your visuals do the talking. Those maximalist pieces you’ve been collecting weren’t designed to hide in your closet. Step out in something outre—or shoot a video. This dose of cosmic confidence could draw attention from a fellow influencer. Click! Tonight, explore new venues where you can make a dramatic entrance—even if you have to keep your soon-to-be fans at a healthy distance.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 19
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Today’s Sun-Chiron trine puts the emphasis on nourishment, reminding you that food is medicine. Even if you’re already aboard the wellness wagon, there’s always more you can do to increase your vitality. Do you eat enough healthy fats, like coconut oil and avocado? Are you getting proper amounts of vitamin D to keep your thyroid humming along? Are you sleeping soundly enough (hello, stronger telomeres)? Small shifts can ramp up your radiance.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 19
Gloves off! Today’s bombastic connection between the Leo Sun and liberating Chiron in Aries encourages unabashed self-expression. You’re fired up—and rightfully so—but you can still deliver your message with dignity, Twin. Anticipate potential naysayers by speaking to both ends of the spectrum while also defending your cause. Arm yourself with facts, and your argument will be bulletproof. Certain stubborn people may never admit that you’re right. But at least YOU will sleep well tonight knowing you spoke your piece.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 19
Whatever you’re tackling on today, an ambitious angle between the Sun and healing Chiron puts you on the fast track to success. Skip the middlemen and pitch the heavy hitters. The Sun gives you a big dose of confidence, so trust your intuition and strike while the iron is hot. But keep your presentations brief and to the point. Busy people want to hear the benefits to THEM, not the long back story. You’ll have to save that soliloquy for later in the game, when you’re all toasting your shared victory.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday August 19
Fortune favors the bold, so take a gamble under today’s daring alignment of the Leo Sun and soothsayer Chiron. Opportunity could fall right into your lap—and in the most serendipitous of ways. But you’ll need to stay present so you don’t miss the doors that are swinging open while you’re busy checking your socials. Cast a wider net when searching for leads. You could soon be traveling for business purposes or interfacing digitally with people in another part of the world.

Today you need to stay focused on YOUR mission. Tugged heartstrings aside, don’t let anyone pull you into their project. You can help them another time—once you’ve ticked your own priorities off the list.

Woo or be wooed, Archer? Cupid flutters into your orbit today, and his arrows can lead you to a meant-to-be connection. Ditch all preconceived notions about what turns you on. You could easily swoon for someone who breaks from type. Cross-cultural connections bring an extra jolt of attraction—another reason to keep a wide-open mind. In a relationship? Sit down with your S.O. to plan a romantic weekend in the near future. An overnight stay in an Airbnb or cooking a fabulous meal together at la casa can help you shake off the stress of the day.

Healthy living doesn’t have to break the bank, Pisces. Sure, it’s always a bonus when you can slip off for a yoga retreat or splurge on a spa treatment. But today, making simple (and affordable) lifestyle adjustments will do the trick. For an instant energy boost, swap refined sugars and carbs for lean proteins and leafy greens. Cut back on your caffeine intake or switch to green tea when you need a pick-me-up. Having a handful of nuts can curb the temptation to reach for the bag of chips. Move your body often, getting up from the computer to walk, stretch or take a dance break.
