Horoscopes
Aries
This is an important day for reflection, new awareness or insight into old problems, and relaxation if possible, dear Aries. You may be looking at past relationships in a new way. Even so, it is a potentially strong day for getting things done. You may want to work independently, but you have quite a bit of motivation, particularly related to creative projects and endeavors. You are especially industrious and come up with inventive ideas and practical solutions. It’s also a good time for personal magnetism.
Taurus
This is a potentially strong day for personal appeal and self-awareness as well, dear Taurus. You may be frequently looking to past actions, relationships, and connections these days, and ideally you’re learning from these memories as you look at the past in a new way. Even with this focus on the past, you’re also feeling hopeful about your future, and this is a warm feeling. While much is going on within, it’s nevertheless important to circulate, follow up with recent contacts, and enjoy others’ company on your own time, as benefits can come through others more than usual now.
Gemini
You can enjoy others’ company more than usual today, dear Gemini. It’s a great day for networking, connecting, and group activities. There is also good energy for new projects, idea creation, and goal-setting, which have more chances of success than usual. This is not about launching something right now, but for drawing up plans to do so at a later date. Friendly energy is in the air, and you easily attract positive attention. You can present original and unique ideas in an attractive package right now, and you might want to take advantage of this energy.
Cancer
Educational, travel, and other mind-expanding activities can thrive right now, dear Cancer, or opportunities for these things can present themselves, possibly as money or funding comes in. While conversations may not seem to be worth much in weight at first glance, you can get much from them. There is more sensitivity, warmth, and compassion felt now, but you’re more inclined to show it through your actions rather than simply talk about it. You are moved by compassion today, and could volunteer your time and energy to someone in need.
Leo
Take advantage of the positive energy with you today by doing something creative, and perhaps venturing away from the usual routine, dear Leo, as well as by making sure you are around someone special. Friendly gestures and communications from others lift your spirits to new heights. You are feeling freer, lighter, and more forward-looking, and you are especially charismatic as a result. At the same time, there is some focus on the past and benefits from considering what has worked for you and what hasn’t. You can be feeling especially confident about creative work, and you can be especially industrious and resourceful now.
Virgo
This is a good day for productivity, dear Virgo, as well as for communicating your ideas with persuasion. If you’re working on something behind the scenes or independently, this can be a strong time for really going at it. You are thinking both resourcefully and intuitively now. It’s also a good time for dealing with problems in close relationships with the goal to heal and move past things, not without first feeling the problems and getting to know them better. It’s a very good time for handling long-standing problems or attitudes that have been keeping you stagnant and hesitant.
Libra
This is a great day for being with people, dear Libra, and particularly giving or sharing something of yourself with others. Grab any opportunities to make contact and to do something a little off the beaten track as these can inspire interesting ideas. Good opportunities can come through work activities or research as well. You could stumble upon very helpful information today, and a partner can be especially generous with you. Personal magnetism runs high now, particularly with friends.
Scorpio
This can be a good day for putting your talents and skills to beneficial use, dear Scorpio. Great energy for strategy, planning, seeing patterns, and developing methods is with you now, particularly related to work, business, and finances. You could find that others are willing to go along with your plans and responsive to your insights, allowing you to take the lead. While there is strong energy for practical affairs today, it’s also a fine time for emotional connections. The Moon is in your entertainment sector all day, after all, and you’re feeling the need to unwind.
Sagittarius
You can find many reasons to feel encouraged and positive about the future today, dear Sagittarius. Some of you could pair up with someone in a shared creative pursuit, or meet a person who brings nice energy into your world. Warm and positive energy is with you for personal expression, problem solving, and enjoying the company of others. It’s a fine time for doing something creative, and perhaps venturing away from the usual routine, although sticking around home and doing something different can work well now. You can be filled with initiative at this time.
Capricorn
Your independent nature is emphasized today, dear Capricorn, but you’re also wanting company and cooperation. This makes it especially important to know when to turn it on and when to turn it off, depending on who you’re dealing with and when. Luckily, this tends to come more naturally to you than to most zodiac signs! You’re more likely to view change as a positive thing right now, rather than fearing it and/or avoiding it. You feel that whatever leaves your life now is no longer necessary. This open-minded approach to life can be very rewarding, and can bring a feeling of growth and support.
Aquarius
Good energy is with you today for productive cooperation or collaboration, dear Aquarius, so that if you want to get something important done, you may want to partner up and combine talents. It’s a good day for being with others in general, even if you don’t have a project to complete. Friends can be especially open with you, and this gives you a warm feeling. Getting a handle on practical matters of all kinds, and especially money, can suddenly become natural, easy, and intuitive. While a pay increase might not occur just now, it may be in the works. Problems seem a little easier to solve right now, possibly because you’re enjoying the process of looking for solutions.
Pisces
There can be nice energy for work efforts, support from superiors, reputation matters, and any project that benefits from you taking the lead, dear Pisces. There can be a new sense of optimism about the future and a greater love for making plans, as a feeling of direction and purpose is very welcome in your life right now. Conversations can be lively and helpful. Your financial and business mind can be sharper as well. The Moon is in your sign all day, pulling up your emotions to the surface and stimulating a stronger need to feel connected to the world around you.

LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON
Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.
We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships and are made aware of recent imbalances. Something can come to fruition. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 30th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a life time).
