Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

With today’s Mars-Pluto minor challenge, dear Aries, you can feel a bit tense in spots, seemingly for no reason. But if you dig deep, you might discover areas where you’ve held onto anger or let frustration build. The challenge is to bring these things to the surface, but not disruptively. Pressures related to your social life or happiness goals can be at the root of things. The trick will be identifying these issues and avoiding letting this edgy energy rule your behavior. You could be struggling with letting go of control or about making changes. If you’ve spent too much time overseeing problematic areas, you might now feel tense. The need for freer and more enjoyable pastimes or interests can be strong. With Mars in your communications sector, you should especially watch for tense behavior while dealing with mechanics, speaking, and writing. Watch for manipulative or compulsive behaviors, and be careful about reacting too quickly to things that irritate you. Once handled, the day holds good energy for investigation and analysis. Research can turn up gems.

Taurus

You have more drive these days to pursue your material needs and wants, dear Taurus, as Mars is a guest in your solar second house. Today, however, there can be a tendency to want more than the world can offer you. Control or power games are tempting now, particularly if you feel frustrated about a career, reputation, or ownership matter or you’re feeling some jealousy. Still, it’s not the solution to problems. If tensions have been rising, they may surface in unexpected ways now. You might also be too quick to jump to your defense, or to someone else’s, before you know the whole story. Something from the past might be undermining your confidence, and if so, it’s best to tie up loose ends. Think up better ways to deal with irritating situations today — moves that will serve your interests not only today but down the road. Today’s Moon favors partnering and negotiating.

Gemini

Mars transiting your sign has given you a little more muscle or energy, dear Gemini. It’s a strong influence for accomplishing something a little out of your standard comfort zone. However, sometimes you can step over yourself in haste to get where you want to go with this transit. Today, Mars and Pluto form a minor but tense aspect, and you might quickly grow frustrated with others who don’t seem to be talking straight with you. You are also feeling your desires with more intensity and urgency, complicating matters. Relations can be strained, but the tensions could be more about power and control than the issues everyone is willing to admit! Differing opinions can fire you up, for example. Your best bet is to rise above the game-playing and focus on softening and moderating your impulses, even if it’s very tempting to get involved. Ideally, others will follow your lead! Today’s Moon encourages you to attend to details, and you’re skilled at it.

Cancer

You’re in a robust cycle for taking action on private matters or activity behind the scenes, dear Cancer, as Mars continues to transit your solar twelfth house. However, you don’t always see a direct route to achieving your goals or pursuing your desires, and this is emphasized today with Pluto in a minor but challenging angle to Mars. There can be anger issues emerging that are difficult to understand or define, but they may have their root in power dynamics with someone or frustrations with dependencies at the core. If you’re feeling a lack of balance, frustrations with the situation can bubble up today. For best results, avoid the tendency to try to regain control through indirect means, as this rarely truly satisfies in the long run. Aim to ferry excess energy or intensity into constructive channels. Or, consider ways to plan out your next move rather than push your agenda now when the chances of achieving your goals are not as high. Fortunately, as the day advances, you more readily enjoy the Moon’s transit of your sector of joy, and the desire to enjoy and express yourself more flowingly is strong.

Leo

With today’s minor but challenging aspect between Mars and Pluto, dear Leo, insecurities can seem to emerge out of nowhere when they’re more likely to be delayed reactions to recent events. This transit tends to stir up pent-up anger, and interpersonal tensions are possible, or you can feel especially impatient with projects or situations. If teams are not cooperating or you feel overloaded with more responsibilities than others, this can reach a problematic point. Tensions in a one-to-one relationship can devolve into power games, or worries can be at the root of tensions in your social life. You might want to draw on your reserves of self-control and channel your considerable energies into something beneficial to you. Consider pouring more of yourself into your happiness goals and aiming to be present as you do. As the day advances, it’s much more straightforward to embrace peace and quiet.

Virgo

With Mars at the top of your solar chart these days, dear Virgo, you can be quite the workhorse. You’re primarily driven to achieve your goals, but you often enjoy pursuing them quietly. You’re ready to take action toward achieving your long-term goals. There can be times when you feel rushed or pressured to get where you want to go, however, and with today’s minor challenging aspect between Mars and Pluto, tension builds and may be simmering so close to the surface that they’re disruptive. Pressures to meet health and chore goals may be at the root of this, as you also want to experiment with new ideas and projects but can’t find the space for all of your pursuits now. Consider letting go of a part of the routine if it’s not doing you any real good. Fortunately, as the day advances, you more fully appreciate the Moon’s transit, and you find it rather easy to follow your curiosity and lighten the load.

Libra

Mars forms a minor challenging aspect to Pluto today, dear Libra, influencing the first half of the day. There can be conflicting messages and events that stir up fears and power complexes. People in your life seem a little controlling. Power plays right now tend to have their root in fear of losing a position, label, title, or person. You can become frustrated with an opinion not catching on or understood, or you might feel particularly restless and ready to take off somewhere “away from it all” but there can be frustrations or disagreements in your personal life that are problematic. Fears that someone is pulling the wool over your eyes can lead to behaviors that don’t improve your life, so watch for this. In truth, feeling on edge can be a symptom of something deeper that’s worth exploring. Be selective about what you allow to take center stage in your head right now. This mission becomes far easier as the day advances, and you adopt a simpler, more straightforward to your life.

Scorpio

You’re more sensitive to the give-and-take in a relationship these days, dear Scorpio, and today, a Mars-Pluto minor challenge can lead to acting compulsively or creating mountains out of molehills. If someone is withholding information or actively hiding something from you, you can become especially frustrated. You can be driven to get to the truth of a matter or to find an answer to a problem, but this can come at the cost of time, energy, and perhaps most importantly, spirit. Avoid allowing others to steal your light today. Learn from what seems to be triggering your fears or frustrations, but aim to work on getting to a more peaceful, self-kind frame of mind. It may very well be better to conserve your energy and observe a situation. There is much to sort out in your inner world, and perhaps a little space is what you need most today. The day advances with more spontaneity. You enjoy more freedom as you let go of frustrating lines of thought.

Sagittarius

Your relationships get more attention from you than usual these days, dear Sagittarius. Mars in your partnership sector these days can animate your connections, and as Mars forms a minor challenging aspect with Pluto today, tensions can simmer close enough to the surface to cause some conflict. Watch that you’re not projecting your anger or will onto others, and aim to be especially mindful of automatic responses to others or frustrating situations. It can be hard for you or others to let things go graciously temporarily. There can be agitation with communication or transportation delays, but impatience is only going to exacerbate the problem. Trying to force an issue will only lead to frustration, so consider ways to release tension or resentment productively. For example, you might decide to channel energy into solving an impersonal problem with someone. The day advances more smoothly. Today’s Moon inclines you to carve extra time to yourself or take a break from the usual routine to refresh yourself emotionally.

Capricorn

Your work or health pursuits are taking more priority in your life these days, dear Capricorn, and calls for your attention elsewhere can seem overwhelming and even obtrusive in contrast. You can be more motivated than usual to take on ambitious or time-consuming projects with Mars in your solar sixth house. While this can very often work to your advantage, there can be times when you want things to happen “yesterday,” and this urgency can interfere with your mood. At the same time, changes can make you feel uneasy, and there can be a strong desire to escape. Watch also for a tendency to magnify or obsess over minor problems today. If you’re not careful, fears of losing respect a position or even a person could drive behavior today. Money and fundamental values can be tricky topics now. Consider that pushing yourself too hard and the stress that can result from this won’t help you advance. Aim to go easier on yourself. This becomes far easier as the day advances and you can tap into the Moon’s easy transit of your social sector.

Aquarius

Passions rise today, dear Aquarius, but there may not be a clear outlet for them temporarily, and conflicts can result. With today’s Mars-Pluto minor challenging aspect, there is the possibility that a sense of urgency to fill your desires or a competitive insistence within you may lead you to push yourself too hard or needlessly clash with others. It’s possible that with Pluto in your sign, you’re expecting too much from yourself or fearful of losing face, a position, or a title. Focusing on a solvable problem in the mental or mechanical world may be an excellent way to release energy constructively. This way, you can allow emotions to cool off. While buried frustrations often simmer to the surface in the first half of the day, you find it far easier to let go of tensions as the day progresses. Your ambitions remain strong in your mind, but the pressure eases, and it feels far more natural this way.

Pisces

There can be some touchiness or edginess in the first half of the day, dear Pisces, with Mars in a minor challenging aspect with Pluto. Watch for pushing too hard or taking the long, arduous route to your goals when uncomplicated may be much more beneficial. Tensions that have been brewing under the surface can emerge. Even if you’re dwelling a little too much on problems, it’s best not to let anger or resentment drive your behavior, as costly mistakes could happen in the process. Ferreting out the truth about a matter may be successful, but you may be better off thinking this through before confronting others, as your delivery may be raw right now, or you might ask yourself whether you want to go there. Family relationships can be a bit tense, but this is only temporary and can lead to greater understanding and ultimately clearing blocks. The day advances more smoothly, and you find it easier to enjoy the Moon’s transit of your spirit sector. Emotional refreshment might come from treating your mind to something different and new.

Today’s Modal Balance

CARDINAL WEAK

This is not a time that we tend to naturally initiate actions. We may be stronger at following up than starting anew. Survival mechanisms may be weaker now.

MUTABLE STRONG

The Mutable signs are Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, and Virgo. We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.

Today’s Lunar Phase

LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER

Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun.

We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 12th:

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 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).

The Moon through Pluto: Signs, Aspects, & Degrees

THE MOON

THE MOON IN SCORPIO

Whether it’s passion, elation, sorrow, or desire, emotions are felt on a deeply personal level. The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power, and it’s an excellent time to rid ourselves of old fears and limiting habits. It can be an intimate and passionate time. Avoid manipulative tactics, brooding, and suspiciousness.

21ST DEGREE OF SCORPIO

Part of Body: Sphenoid sinus

Sabian Symbol: A soldier derelict in his duty.

ASPECTS OF THE MOON

QUINCUNX CHIRON Orb 2°39′ Applying

We could be misjudging our sensitivity levels and making poor choices as a result. Decisions made now may not reflect our hearts, and can be regrettable later on.

SATURN

SATURN IN PISCES

Acompassionate and intuitive worker, although sometimes anxious and fearful. Strong karma to be worked through.

Sabian Symbol: In a huge tent a famous revivalist conducts his meeting.

URANUS

URANUS IN TAURUS

(1934 – 1942) We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn how to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge. We’re less inhibited about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. We’re challenging what we previously valued. There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. We’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money are likely. Income and the energy we put into making money can be variable. (May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, then March 6, 2019, to July 7, 2025, and then November 7, 2025, to April 25, 2026).

PLUTO

PLUTO IN AQUARIUS

(1777 – 1799) It is important to note that Pluto takes about 248 years to make a complete cycle, spending 12 to 32 years in each sign. Therefore the interpretation of Pluto in its sign applies to a generation rather than the individual. This is the generation of worldwide co-operation. People in this generation have the ability to make scientific breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity, and may be forced to change the way science is viewed. (Pluto is in Aquarius from March 23rd to June 11th, 2023, from January 20th to September 1st, 2024; from November 19th, 2024, to March 8th, 2043, and from August 31st, 2043, to January 19th, 2044).
