Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Mental tensions are likely to surface as Mercury opposes Pluto today, dear Aries. You could find that someone is attempting to one-up you or get the upper hand since there can be a lot of this now. A rude awakening is possible, but it could also clarify matters. Consider that people may be holding on too tightly to their point of view temporarily. If learning experiences don’t result from conflicts, stressing over communications is a waste of your time and energy. Aim to do what you can to release and purge rather than hold onto negative feelings today. Today’s Mercury-Neptune and Venus-Uranus trines help with this task! They encourage you to open up and enjoy yourself. Communication channels present themselves, or you find new ways to connect that add an interesting layer to your exchanges. Different forms of expressing yourself can also emerge, and they’re satisfying! Or, an unusual idea or method can lead to exciting discoveries and perhaps some wonderful feelings. Either way, there’s a breath of fresh air that elevates you today.

Taurus

Mental tensions, concerns that weigh heavily on you, or frustrating disagreements are possible with today’s Mercury-Pluto opposition, dear Taurus. People can be defensive about their ideas, or family drama can emerge. You can be excited about a project or idea, but you might also face opposition. There can be some chaotic energy in your inner world or home life, and focusing on sorting and organizing things can help you find your center. You might consider putting things in order around the home, as this will help you feel freer about work or responsibilities and benefit from clearing your head. If you’ve been clinging too closely to specific ambitions, you might consider relaxing them a little if tensions are boiling over. Fortunately, other transits are in play that help you unwind. Monotony is uninspiring today–you need a change of pace! Bright ideas regarding practical matters, work, or money can be part of the story. A more relaxed, creative approach to your life leads to improvements and opportunities or openings. Letting go of fear or detaching just a little can open up creativity and improve your health.

Gemini

There can be a lot on your mind or your plate today, dear Gemini, with a Mercury-Pluto opposition possibly activating insecurities or fears about losing someone’s admiration. This transit could pull up fears of making changes. Consider that holding on to an opinion too tightly might prevent you from moving forward, growing, and moving on. However, it’s not about conceding, either. It’s only about redirecting yourself if you’ve spent too much time and energy on something that’s drained you. Aim to get over a hump, as resentment can rob you of happiness. If you keep a lookout, you could discover some of your hidden desires, which you can use to fuel better decisions or suitable projects and pursuits later. Fortunately, other transits in play today encourage your desire to branch out. As you open yourself to feelings and ideas, your powers of attraction grow. As you drop unhealthy expectations, you are better able to enjoy the moment.

Cancer

There can be tensions in your interactions, or worries hanging heavy on your mind today, dear Cancer, with an opposition between Mercury and Pluto. People can be a little more defensive, or they may feel the need to prove something when an idea challenges their comfort zone. Pushing for answers can be problematic, and money or support problems that have been weighing you down could reach a turning point. If you’ve been feeling undervalued, frustrations can come to a head. Keep in mind that compromise would be ideal, but getting there involves giving a little, and it’s best not to count on others to do so just yet. Consider this a revealing time, since jealousies or frustrations stimulated today can help you connect with feelings or desires you didn’t realize you had. Fortunately, other transits today help inspire you. Alternative approaches to feelings, intimacy, and family or household matters can be refreshing and successful. Getting rid of clutter in your home, for example, can be especially helpful for improving your outlook, as you can feel lighter and freer. You might break ground on a tricky topic. As you free yourself from an emotional block, you can feel pleasantly surprised!

Leo

Today’s Mercury-Pluto challenge can bring complicated but potentially revealing energies to your day, dear Leo. Your ideas or plans may encounter obstacles, and it may be a good idea to be kind to yourself by not pushing yourself too hard, but do let your mind explore new ideas. Communications can be weighty, or you can feel frustrated if you’re not free to express yourself spontaneously. Avoid a tug-of-war, but if a problem is becoming untenable, this may be the time to force the issue. Conflicts emerging today can give you insight into the hidden forces at work in your life that may be undermining your progress or keeping you from moving on and forward. Fortunately, other transits in play today help you see new approaches to expressing yourself. Personal appeal is powerful on a mental level right now. A new attraction, craving, or interest can lead you to a fun discovery or an unconventional idea that inspires you. On this day before a Solar Eclipse in your sign, aim to do some detoxing and reflecting.

Virgo

Tense thoughts or concerns are more prominent today, dear Virgo, as your ruler, Mercury, opposes Pluto. It also harmonizes with Neptune, however, so while the day is complicated, you’re likely to see the silver lining. Something may reach a head, and you now feel the need to address the matter. It may be best to avoid letting worries undermine your interactions with others, as they could become strained. You could very well discover that keeping a project or idea to yourself is useful just for now. Unless you’re channeling mental energy into something creative and positive, avoid letting your imagination run ahead of you. An overactive curiosity can lead you to think you’re ready for something before you are. You may also want to gather all the facts before jumping to communicate about a new observation, as something shared can cause quite a stir under today’s transits. Make plans to improve your routines and workload so that you can unplug and shut things off sometimes. Today’s Venus-Uranus transit encourages you to interact, however. A pleasant discovery or surprise can figure prominently. You can be particularly willing to explore a new feeling, method, idea, or interest related to money, business, or work. Certainly, you gravitate to unusual solutions and things. You seem able to combine comfort with excitement successfully, and it’s an interesting mix.

Libra

Today holds some confrontational energy, dear Libra, as Mercury opposes Pluto, challenging you to confront problem areas. Tensions and pressures from others, especially in love and friendship, can be the issue now, and there can be some obsessiveness involved. You might go back and forth between a strong desire to get to the truth of a matter and a fear of doing so. The goal now should be to purge, release, and let go, which is especially appropriate on this day before a Solar Eclipse. You’re likely holding onto something too tightly, and it can’t breathe in that position! Or, you’re limiting your own freedom for doing so. Either way, the goal now should be to empower yourself by easing back. While it’s easier said than done, it can be well worth the effort. Fortunately, today’s happy Venus-Uranus transit can put you in the mood for something different. It can be a time of sudden or unusual attractions, experiences, and goodwill. It encourages you to connect with ideas that inspire you or to experience different pleasures and pastimes. People are attracted to your originality right now, particularly your intelligence, thoughts, and beliefs.

Scorpio

Buried hurts can jump out of hiding today, dear Scorpio, mainly through communications as Mercury opposes Pluto. Or they might find expression in one way or another in your conversations. Fears of having the rug pulled out from under you or of not being “in the know” can lead to frustrating situations or tension. Secrets might be revealed, or previously hidden matters can emerge, ideally pushing you towards the light but nevertheless a bit uncomfortable. Stalemates are likely, and it may be best to avoid pushing issues. Ideally, it may be best to observe, formulate a strategy, and then act later, which is especially appropriate on this day before a Solar Eclipse. With Mercury currently transiting the top of your solar chart, your words tend to have more impact than usual, and what you communicate can very well be remembered for some time. If you use the tense energies of today constructively, it can be an excellent time to pour yourself into a worthy project. Helping you with this mission is a Venus-Uranus transit that brings a refreshing spirit of freedom to your life. There may be a release from an old obligation, for example, that makes you feel a little lighter. This transit encourages you to break out of a pattern or rut. Because it occurs in your hidden sectors, this change or breakthrough may very well happen on an emotional level.

Sagittarius

There can be some fear of change behind disagreements today, dear Sagittarius, with Mercury, typically a light, airy communicative influence, in opposition to dark, transformational Pluto. This transit challenges us to grow through our conversations or exposure to different or new ideas, opinions, and methods. Under this transit, superficial differences of opinion can turn quickly. Mental tension is possible, and you might need to contend with obstacles or resistance. Problems related to communications, learning, or transportation can come to a head. You can feel as if you’re on a mission to find out the truth of a matter! However, it may be best to detach yourself from others’ responses if they’re frustrating you. Challenge yourself to reframe your thinking rather than hold on to an idea or belief for dear life, so you can unwind and center yourself. You’re mentally sharp, which is excellent for intellectual and business-related endeavors, but your heart may not be ready for where your mind wants to go right now. Observe carefully since frustrations may reveal hidden desires. Today’s Venus-Uranus trine is excellent for opening your mind and heart to new ideas, visions, and possibilities. You’re willing to leave something you no longer need behind to help welcome fresh energy into your life. Liberation is possible in a meaningful way. As you drop unhealthy expectations of others and relationships, you experience far more enjoyment and spontaneity.

Capricorn

Mental energy runs high today, dear Capricorn, but it can be somewhat problematic with Mercury in opposition to Pluto. There can be some strain in a relationship if there have been imbalances and resentment brewing. Or, worries can seem more pressing or hang heavily in the air, making it difficult to enjoy yourself in spots. Embrace, rather than resist, opportunities to grow and push past fear. At the same time, it’s essential to watch for over-attachment to ideas or things and aim to rise above suspicious thoughts. Sensitive areas are core values, power dynamics, money, and issues of sharing or ownership. Positively, you might uncover a secret or pursue a line of research doggedly today, but avoid overdoing things. While the tendency is to focus on a matter and make too much of it, other transits active today can help lighten things up. The desire for a change in your routine comes on pleasantly. It will soon be a time for moving forward with less baggage, and your approach or attitude demands something different. You may forget some of your troubles and have a better time as a result. A change of pace with your practical affairs, career, or health can be particularly refreshing and inspiring.

Aquarius

Others can push your buttons today, dear Aquarius, as Mercury opposes Pluto in your sign. It can be all too easy to get caught up in a tug-of-war with someone, and differences of opinion or methods can be taken very personally. Issues that have been brewing under the surface can now come to a head. You’re more likely to feel empowered if you stay open, flexible, and focused on growth rather than worried about what others are saying and doing. Channeling extra energy into productive activities can be successful. Even so, disagreement or conflict may be just what a relationship needs in some cases, revealing important buried issues that need addressing. Today’s Venus-Uranus trine encourages your taste for something different, and so does the Mercury-Neptune transit, particularly with self-expression, personal enjoyment, entertainment, pleasure, and learning. Your spirit for adventure may show itself in your imagination, cravings, and dreams. You would do well with a break from the routine or some level of detachment from recent worries, concerns, and intensity.

Pisces

Aim to avoid the trap of overloading your plate or concentrating too hard on flaws today, dear Pisces. A Mercury-Pluto aspect can rile you up, and issues related to anxiety or guilt can undermine your productivity. Conversations might heat up, or your thoughts take you tense places as you revisit old hurts. There could be a reason for this, as it may be time to put those things behind you. Something previously buried might emerge, and it can be highly revealing, leading to important discoveries about your feelings, hidden ambitions, and fears. Ideally, you’ll pour the extra energy and passion available today into becoming more efficient, skilled, or organized. Even so, a Venus-Uranus transit also in play inspires you to let go of patterns that have weighed you down, and this comes at a good time with a Solar Eclipse redirecting you tomorrow. A refreshing change of pace can figure strongly and pleasantly. With some detachment from a matter, you can gain some wisdom on it. Your intuitive feelers are at work, and you might make some fascinating observations.

Signs, Elements, Modes, & Lunar Phase

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes

Today’s Emphasized Signs of the Zodiac

LEO STRONG

Self-confident, generous, warm-hearted, powerful leader, dramatic. Can be overly proud, vain, extravagant, arrogant.

Today’s Elemental Balance

FIRE STRONG

The Fire signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. The element of Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.

EARTH WEAK

There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.

WATER WEAK

There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.

Today’s Modal Balance

FIXED STRONG

The Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. We are thinking about the long view, seeking out security and stability rather than change. We may be committed, focused, resistant to making changes, and stubborn.

MUTABLE WEAK

We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.

Today’s Lunar Phase

LUNAR PHASE: BALSAMIC

Moon is less than 45 degrees behind the Sun.

Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 11th:

Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. Conversely, when an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. As such, 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 the Moon 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 lifetime).

URANUS

URANUS IN GEMINI

(1942 – 1949) It is important to note that Uranus spends a long time in each sign, and therefore the interpretation applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation look at the house position. This is the generation which becomes focused on new forms of communication and the world’s networks. Original and inventive ideas may spring to life.

6TH DEGREE OF GEMINI

Part of Body: Lower left pulmonary lobe
