Every day, you read the Four Winds report, to get a sense of the current energies. There’s just one thing missing — your daily horoscope. Written for you, every day of the week, your Planet Waves daily horoscope is designed to give you the clue you need, that little edge to make your life go smoother.
One well-placed line from an astrologer can make all the difference in your life. We now have two editions of the Four Winds Report — one with, and one without your daily reading. You may be one of the readers who’ve waited for years for me to offer you this — and now you can have it. Horoscope Lover membership gets you direct mailing of each day’s reading, plus the weekly reading on Sunday night, and the monthly reading the last Thursday of the month. Sign up at this link.

Thanks to an eagle-eyed reader, we have discovered that we unfortunately failed to change the Hebrew and Muslim month after they switched, and have therefore been supplying the wrong dates. We apologize for this oversight. The correct dates are in today’s edition, we’ve corrected the archive, and we will take steps to ensure as far as possible that the problem does not recur.

“Through the air on the flying trapeze, his mind hummed. Amusing it was, astoundingly funny. A trapeze to God, or to nothing, a flying trapeze to some sort of eternity; he prayed objectively for strength to make the flight with grace.”
— William Saroyan

If Your Birthday is Aug. 31
(The Day of the Public Appearance) | Virgo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Dark emotions teach us more than the happy ones. If you’re ever feeling jealous or controlling, rather than let it consume you, take it as your guide. You want to be free of troubling emotions, and you can be. This process holds the keys to love, and will set free your commitment to fairness and justice. That’s what really motivates you, and you know it.
Written in the Planets
The Sun, Venus and Vesta all make aspects today that suggest a focus on your longer-term direction. You might consider whether you’re being unduly distracted or held back from pursuing your goals, or from organizing your work effectively. If you’re experiencing a sense of ennui or are not sure of your next move, it might also be worth devoting some energy to rekindling your passion for something you feel called to do. There’s a reason you decided to embark on this course, and from time to time it’s worth recalling.
