Horoscope
for Today
Wednesday, August 12, 2026
It's a great day to voice your strongest opinions -- even if that means throwing a tiny temper tantrum. Everyone reverts to their childhood now and again, and today you'll be surrounded by people who will understand if you get extreme in your behavior. You won't be embarrassed if you lose your cool -- you will feel refreshed! Later in the day, the universe will send you some high energy that will make you feel much better about where things are going. People do listen to you!
Weekly Love Horoscope
for Cancer
Week of Mon, 8/10 to Sun, 8/16
On Monday, it's the combination of smarts and feelings that make for good romantic choices, rather than letting one or the other prevail. Step back and see what you're missing. A great date around Tuesday and Wednesday involves learning -- yes, with you along, it can definitely be hot. Try a new recipe, take an online lecture, or warm up the brain with a documentary or two. Duty calls at the end of the workweek. Take care of responsibilities, because this weekend's got opportunities galore, including some lovely romantic ones.

The Moon's Influence
Lunar Sign: Leo
Romance ignites, and affection and recognition are yearned for while the Moon is in Leo. A need to feel admired can be so strong that it may result in unusually dramatic behavior. Leo is ruled by the Sun, making this a time of ambition, independence and leadership. Personal boundaries and limitations become stretched. The Moon in Leo is a time of enjoyment and warmth and a time to show kindness and generosity to others. Leo rules the heart and upper spine.
Lunar Phase: Waning Crescent
During this period, give in to relaxation and reflection. Go within yourself to reconnect with inner sources of strength. Now is NOT a time to begin new projects. This is a phase better suited to spending time with friends and seeing the bigger picture. A window of opportunity exists for seeing your life objectively and becoming aware of what is important to you. Question your dreams and aspirations. Spend the time to focus on larger goals you can aspire to that will bring vitality and excitement into your life. In preparation for the New Moon Cycle, rest and accumulate inner strength.
