The five zodiac signs with the best horoscopes on August 20 feel the impact of the Sun trine Lilith in Sagittarius the most. This is your chance to get real about what you truly want in your life. 

The Sun in harmony with Lilith and Sagittarius gives these astrological signs the courage to be bold on Thursday. Lilith in Sagittarius makes you honest about the things that you feel others will judge you by. Whether or not you think a person will accept you for who you are is no longer a worry. Instead, you simply decide to do what you were born to do.

On August 20, Lilith in Sagittarius shows you what you're missing out on by worrying too much about what other people think of your decisions. Your mind goes through every reason you've given as an excuse for putting your dreams on hold. At the top is judgment from family members.

You wonder if you are wrong to think that others won't want you to be happy. You decide to own up to your desires and claim them. What once was scary now feels brave, Virgo. You are more in control of your life, realizing nothing good comes from living life on other people's terms.

On Thursday, you finally accept yourself for who you are. Lilith rules passion and dark secrets. While you're not doing anything wrong, you know that there are certain things about yourself that other people can't handle. Sometimes when you are with others, you keep opinions to yourself, and it makes you feel small. 

You put an end to that charade on August 20, Sagittarius. You come to terms with who you are, and if you change, it will be on your own terms. You can't pretend to be who you are not and then say it's important to be authentic. What's best for you has to be good enough for others. If it isn't, they'll eventually come around if they truly love you.

Honesty is the best policy, Aquarius. There is one friend who means the world to you, but you have pretended that you only like them as a friend. On August 20, you decide to come clean about your feelings

You're giving yourself a shot at happiness. You openly state what needs to be said, not in a creepy way, just plain honest. You don't need a response, but you need to clear your conscience.

Gemini, you really do love your freedom, which is why you have been very selective about who you spend your time with. You've been in a partnership or romantic relationship for quite some time. Lately, though, you've been hoping to get some space. You have not wanted to hurt anyone's feelings. As a result, you've denied yourself the one thing you know you need right now: time to think.

You're not trying to do anything wrong, just understanding yourself better. Lilith helps you do that by asking for what you need. You don't mind talking about time frames or arrangements. But you do need to talk this out, and Thursday happens to be one of the best days to do that.

You're just one of those people who believes in old-fashioned romance and love. On Thursday, you decide that no matter what, you're not going to shrink your romantic side to make other people feel comfortable. If you enjoy being a mushy-gushy expressive type, then that is who you will be. 

Other people may see your expressiveness as too much, but you're over it. You are tired of everyone holding their feelings back when they should be sharing them with others. If you're the first to do it, then so be it. With Lilith in your house of romance, Leo, you are ready to take on this challenge.
