3 articles · Updated · Chicago Sun-Times · Aug 2

Summary

  • A moon alert advises avoiding shopping—except food and gas—and major decisions from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., before the moon shifts from Pisces into Aries.
  • Across all 12 signs, the horoscope repeatedly warns that criticism, arguments and strained interactions could dominate Sunday, especially with family, partners, bosses and authority figures.
  • Aries, Taurus and Leo are urged to avoid conflict over home, money and social plans, while Gemini, Sagittarius and Virgo are told authority figures and close relationships may be especially difficult.
  • Several signs get narrow bright spots: Libra may find support from friends or groups, Capricorn from a spouse or partner, and Pisces through work, sports or outings with children.
  • For Aug. 2 birthdays, the forecast calls 2026 a slower-paced year focused on restoring energy and prioritizing business, personal relationships and supportive people.
