Daily horoscope for August 17, 2021

Aries: March 21-April 19

Someone might push your buttons today, but it's up to you to control your response. Whether they mean to or not, this person could bring up someone or something that really bothers you or a bold opinion that rubs you the wrong way. You have the inner grit to make sure you keep a cool head and not give in to whatever fight they're egging on. Stay above the fray by saying only what needs to be said and not everything you're thinking.

Taurus: April 20-May 20

Jumping to conclusions could get you into trouble today. You may be tempted to react to a situation, but you should first ensure that it's what you think it is before losing control. Oftentimes it's easier to blow things out of proportion than it is to rationally think through what's actually going on, and this is probably one of those times. By taking a step back, you may realize that even if it's as bad as you think it is, it will resolve itself quickly.

Gemini: May 21-June 20

You may have a disagreement today with someone you normally agree with, and you won't know how to handle it. Instead of turning your discourse into a battle of wits, try to gently work in your own opinion on the matter. If it seems like they're only looking to change your mind, you don't have to give in. You don't have to win or lose a fight to feel fulfilled, so it may be best to hear each other out and agree to disagree.

Cancer: June 21-July 22

It's possible you'll feel physically depleted today, with your body unable to go as far as you'd like it to go. Even if you try to push yourself beyond your limits, you likely won't get as far as you'd like to do. Whether this is a fitness goal, a sports competition, or even just trying to get through the day without feeling sluggish or sleepy, it's OK if you fall short in the end. You'll always have the opportunity to get up and try again tomorrow.

Leo: July 23-August 22

Maintaining tranquility in your environment today could be a more daunting task than expected. The people around you might not be able to see eye to eye on issues that are important to them, creating stressful surroundings that cause your own priorities or even just your peace of mind to fall apart. Try to breathe through it and recognize there's only so much you can do. You can't control their actions, but you can control the way you respond to them.

Virgo: August 23-September 22

The place that's normally your area of solace could feel more chaotic than calm today. Someone or something may have unexpectedly wreaked havoc on it, leaving you without a spot to go to when you need to take a breather. You might initially feel overwhelmed by the thought of needing to fix it up, but take a moment to collect yourself. You'll soon realize that everything that's undone can be put back together, and you'll be back to enjoying your peaceful place sooner than you think.

Libra: September 23-October 22

Someone could bring up a subject today that you are incredibly passionate about. You may initially shy away from sharing your thoughts, believing it isn't the time to make your opinions known. However, adding your input could help the other person feel like there's someone in their corner on the matter. Don't let the nagging little voice inside of you convince you to keep quiet. It never hurts to let someone know they're not alone.

Scorpio: October 23-November 21

Respect will be a central theme for you throughout the day. Someone may disrespect you -- or you may even disrespect yourself in some way. You should remedy this before it goes any further, but that doesn't mean you need to verbally attack anyone who crosses you. Calmly but firmly let people know where your boundaries are, as this will ensure you're being heard when you're speaking. After all, it's not just what you say but how you say it that matters.

Sagittarius: November 22-December 21

Watch what you say today, as it could inadvertently land you in hot water. You may hold harsh opinions on something, even if you really aren't that serious about it. Speaking carefully will help keep you from accidentally making someone in your midst upset with you. While it's possible you'll be the victim of someone else's acerbity, you're more likely to be the one with the acid tongue. Try to be extra gentle in your communications and you'll avoid any pitfalls.

Capricorn: December 22-January 19

You may beat yourself today up over a perceived failure or flaw that isn't actually your fault. The danger in this is that the rest of the world will be ready to jump in with you if you're starting the attack on yourself. Instead of setting yourself up for this, try to see how you can improve and commit to doing better next time. There's no need to be your own enemy. Others will follow your lead, so be mindful of which direction you lead them in.

Aquarius: January 20-February 18

You'll likely have a strong desire to stand out from the crowd right now, but despite your strong sense of individuality, the people around you may have different ideas. Instead of trying to go against the grain, it may be best to follow the group in this instance. Don't let your desire to do your own thing get in the way of what's best for you and everyone around you. Spend more time today listening than acting on personal desire.

Pisces: February 19-March 20

Sometimes it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you've been struggling with something, but you're given an opportunity to buckle down and do the hard thing anyway. If times get hard today, let discipline be your guide. This may be an exercise of faith for you, but trust that things will get better if you keep chipping away at it. Some of the best things in life will require your sincere effort, so don't give up now.
