Your Daily FinanceScope for August 17, 2021

The best things in life are free, but we could all use some extra cash. Let us lead you to the land of green with our daily finance horoscope!

Aries

After the rapid-fire pace of deadlines lately, you're happy to have some peace and quiet for a change. The prescription for decompression is different for everyone. Some may choose to party but you need down time. Make sure you are clear about that to everyone around you.

Taurus

It may not be calendar new year, but there's a newness about you. The time to turn over a new leaf is now. Make good on all the promises you made to yourself a few days ago. If you don't start now, you'll just continue being fiscally irresponsible ad infinitum.

Gemini

All the stress and pressure that has been building up are finally behind you. Your thoughts are freed up to focus on new things. Generating ideas is the theme of the day. It feels good to use your intellect to do more than simply save money. Focus on novel ways to generate it.

Cancer

A large and massively irritating project was monopolizing your life and submerging everything else under its weight. You're suddenly as light as a feather. If you're still feeling overwhelmed, it's just because you've grown used to it. Shake it off and start to move on.

Leo

You've spent the last twenty-four hours feeling impressed with your efforts but the effect is starting to wear off. You need to get started on a new challenge if you want to fan those particular flames. It's not the right day to start in on one just yet, but it is the right time to acknowledge the need to continue moving forward.

Virgo

Nothing important hangs on the day and that's just the way you like it for a change. Do your best to enjoy yourself and you will have had a successful day. You can save all the gravitas of work and financial issues for some time down the line.

Libra

You can't be productive every day of the year. It's a day of all talk and no action. Every life needs some of them so don't feel even slightly guilty about it. As long as the 'no action' part includes not spending money, you really can't lose.

Scorpio

You swore you would only make financial decisions that were safe and sound but now that old familiar feeling is creeping up on you. The shiny pot of gold is glinting in the distance and you just know you can get there if you take a chance. Don't succumb to temptation. Remind yourself of what happened the last time, and the time before that. Etc.

Sagittarius

It's easy to keep busy on a day like today. The hard part is figuring out how to do it and stay within budget at the same time. You're still in a cloud of afterglow, so don't let that lull you into thinking that this time next year will never arrive. You know it will.

Capricorn

You enjoy using your brain today, and you even enjoy using it to do a little math, but you have no interest in going overboard the way you had to recently. Chuck out any extra calculations that can wait. Even balancing your checkbook can be put off.

Aquarius

You're feeling burned out. It's strange how something as dry and dull as taxes can be even remotely related to something as luscious as romance, but a bit of love will put the spark back where tax day took it right out of you. Focus on the less numeric aspects of life, and enjoy.

Pisces

It's a good day to sit around and recover. Your brain needs the rest almost as much as your body does. You can be back to feeling as busy as usual more quickly if you give yourself the break you deserve. Consider it just another way of being productive.
