Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Today’s Solar Eclipse occurs in your sector of romance, hobbies, creative self-expression, recreation, and children, dear Aries. Events happening now and in the coming weeks set you up for new beginnings in one or more of these areas of life. It’s a passionate period for you, a time when you may discover the need to enjoy yourself and express your creativity with confidence. It’s about doing things that help you reconnect with your spirit of play and personal enjoyment. If you’ve been holding on too tightly to things that have kept you from expressing your true self, you’ll see the need to make changes. You are likely to attract positive attention from others, especially romantically or creatively speaking. A new hobby or pastime can come into high focus in the months ahead. Even if your life seems crammed with things to do, you need to learn to make the most of the time you do have for enjoying yourself. Pace yourself, though, because rushing into something is not advised now. Allow the process to unfold. While eclipses can drain your energy temporarily, today’s transits help you make the most of this time. With a Mercury-Uranus aspect today, you’re in good shape for catching on to new thought waves or trends, making your communications particularly timely and appreciated. Sharing ideas can strengthen a relationship.

Taurus

Today’s Solar Eclipse can clear the path for new beginnings, dear Taurus, and this can mean you break free from the past in some way, particularly on emotional levels or having to do with your home or family life. Situations that have been holding you back may need to be put behind you. The weeks and even months ahead are a time of special attention to your domestic world, sense of safety and feeling of belonging, understanding your roots, and matters of intimacy and vulnerability. You’re coming into touch with fundamental feelings and needs that you may have overlooked. This Solar Eclipse is a cosmic nudge to discover your inner well. You’ll be paying special attention to your support system as well as the support and nurturance you give others. In some cases, it can be about finding a more suitable home or living conditions and arrangements. The coming weeks are ideal for making long-range plans for the future, reorganizing the home or home environment, and engaging in family-related activities. There can be some drama on the domestic front, but this ideally leads to a fresh perspective or new beginning. Changes and improvements may be necessary as you reorganize your personal life, or shuffle around your priorities. While eclipses can be draining, today’s transits are strong for finding fresh solutions or alternative methods to do business, as well as for making home or family life run more smoothly.

Gemini

Today’s Solar Eclipse occurs in your solar third house, dear Gemini, bringing the need to start fresh in the areas of communicating, connecting, learning, and everyday affairs. How you organize your daily life and divide your attention now comes into play, and a reworking of these things may be in order! This is a time to put out feelers and take in new ideas and information, but avoid going too far. Plan to make warm, engaging new connections with people, be open to the idea that you need more intellectual stimulation in your life, and look for ways to improve your approachability or communication skills to better reflect who you are. However, watch for taking on so many activities or commitments that you feel overwhelmed. There can be new channels emerging for expressing yourself in new ways or for getting around in the weeks ahead. New equipment or transportation options may open up different opportunities and experiences. There can be motivation to let go of outdated attitudes or conditions so that the path is clear for new beginnings. News can come that steers you in a new direction. While the eclipse can overstimulate confidence, in the weeks ahead, you’ll get to an exceptional sense of what is truly valuable to you, and also of your own capabilities, aiding decision-making. Today’s transits are boosting. You’re in a fine position to let go of grudges, connect well with friends, and come up with good ideas for managing your money or valuables.

Cancer

Today’s Solar Eclipse occurs in your solar second house, dear Cancer, and while it stirs up activity in your financial life, it’s a less visible period for you when you can cruise along without too much in the way of interference. Still, important decisions may be required of you in the coming weeks and months, particularly revolving around personal finances and business or personal possessions and valuables. This can be about boundaries in a relationship or your sense of self-worth and how it affects your ability to support yourself or ask for what you want. There is heightened sensitivity to your physical environment today. In the weeks ahead, you may find new ways to increase your income or earning potential. If you’ve been holding on too tightly to a lifestyle or financial habits that haven’t been serving you well, this is a time when circumstances might force the matter. Take your time on major launches or decisions, but work towards making changes. The second half of the day brings easier energy to focus on your priorities and enjoy the process. Meeting your responsibilities is satisfying.

Leo

Today’s Solar Eclipse occurs in your sign, dear Leo, and the weeks and even months ahead are powerful for personal new beginnings and a reinvention. What you want to change, improve, or initiate — these things are in your hands now. You’ll be getting more attention soon, after a bit of a dip, so be sure to wear your confidence well. Taking the high road is vital. As you advance, people build their faith in you, which serves to motivate you further to present the best version of yourself. You could be trying a new look, image, or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. You are working towards being more independent, feeling freer, and more true to your nature in your self-expression. Today, it’s important to seek self-understanding. You are unlikely to have a plan of action now, and that’s okay. This is all very new and raw. Today’s Mercury-Uranus aspect helps you express yourself well. You can be especially witty or insightful, and others appreciate you for your ideas and gestures. You might see a friend in an entirely different light, which can be exciting.

Virgo

A Solar Eclipse occurs in your soul and privacy sector today, dear Virgo, and in the weeks and even months ahead, circumstances seem to nudge you to take charge of your emotional health and private affairs. You may feel a strong need to put emotional baggage behind you. This can also be a time to give more time to a person in need or to a major cause. Buried or neglected issues can demand your attention, and working on these can pave the road to future success and happiness. You may be serving, helping, and supporting others, or it could be a time of retreat and withdrawal on some level as you work behind the scenes. If you’ve been neglecting your psychic, spiritual, and emotional needs, this is a time to acknowledge and tend to them. This eclipse should have an impact on the coming six months of your life, at which point you come to a checkpoint for your progress. Today, there can be good news or inspiration found in unusual places. Higher-ups might hold you in better favor right now. A sudden, happy change in your reputation can occur. If you need backing or support, today is a good day to get it.

Libra

Today’s total Solar Eclipse influences your sector of friends, happiness goals, dreams, wishes, new ideas, technology, networking, and teamwork, dear Libra. This is a time to pay special attention to developments in these areas of your life, as they’re likely to be significant and have long-term effects, setting you on a path toward personal changes and new beginnings. There can be new friends or associations with groups and people who share similar interests or a common goal, or new beginnings with existing connections in the months ahead. If existing friendships need a new focus or a renewed bond, the energy of this eclipse can help in the weeks ahead. There might even be some drama in your social life that shakes things up enough to prompt changes and new directions. Friends or dreams/projects might enter or leave your life. This is not a time for clarity but for faith in the process. While you may feel overwhelmed or tired, today’s transits help you let go of the negative and latch onto new and exciting ideas. An intuitive understanding of people and trends positively affects your dealings now.

Scorpio

Today’s total Solar Eclipse brings new beginnings in the coming weeks and even months in your life direction, path, professional dealings, or reputation, dear Scorpio. This eclipse is about improving your public and professional life or pivoting altogether. New projects and goals, and possibly even a new area of focus on the job, may emerge. Instead, this can be about recommitting to a particular path. Enter these with healthy confidence, not overconfidence, as the Leo eclipse encourages. You have more impact on others than usual, so make the most of this time in the spotlight. Avoid hasty moves now. The period ahead is favorable for new business plans and goals, but it’s also strong for making nice with people in high places, teachers, bosses, and parents as well. There can be substantial changes in your life regarding your own influence or authority, or in the authority figures in your life. In the coming weeks, there can be a pleasant feeling of reinvigoration when it comes to your life-plan goals, although for now, you may feel a little directionless or unclear. Take your time as a new plan slowly but surely unfolds. With today’s transits, people may surprise you with a showing or friendly gesture. Research can turn up something interesting or valuable, and business can get a boost as a result.

Sagittarius

A New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs today in your adventure, spirit, and learning sector, dear Sagittarius. In the coming weeks and even months, you’ll discover ways to express your need for exploration, movement, new horizons, and spiritual nourishment. This can be a time of significant publishing, announcements, advancements, or new adventures, whether mental or physical. The period ahead is one of increased bravery and spontaneity, as well as a time to learn something new or commit to studies. Events in the coming weeks can push you out of your routine. In some way, you are making a break from the past. There may be opportunities to broaden your horizons through adventure, travel, or education. Transportation issues can also be in focus, with new avenues opening up for getting out and about. Often enough, eclipses bring about a small crisis or shake-up that prompts a new direction or the need to venture beyond the usual routine. Eclipse days can be emotionally exhausting, but today’s transits can give you a nice boost. Conversations can be inspiring and even breakthrough in small ways today, or news may arrive that stirs your inner spirit.

Capricorn

When a Solar Eclipse occurs, it soon becomes clear it’s time to turn over a new leaf in a particular area of your life defined in large part by where the eclipse falls in the chart, dear Capricorn. In your solar chart, this happens in your eighth house of intimacy and sharing, making the period ahead one of personal empowerment and discovery. You have a chance to see your inner workings in new, meaningful ways. If you’ve been too dependent on others, or the opposite, too proud to ask for help, you’ll see and feel it now and want to make changes. Intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. Financial support issues and matters of debt or obligation can come to the fore, and taking charge so that you can bravely start anew is in the spotlight. This can also be a good time to quit bad habits and unhealthy dependencies and release burdens. Keep in mind, however, that it’s important to be patient so that things can unfold naturally. Don’t push for clarity, and it will come! Today’s transits are strong for focusing on opportunities, growth, and progress. The motivation to improve and advance is with you, fueling you.

Aquarius

Today’s Solar Eclipse occurs in your opposite sign, dear Aquarius, bringing a charge of energy to partnerships. The months ahead are important for exploring your need for partnership, whether that means starting a significant relationship, committing to enhancing an existing one, or recognizing changing needs in relationships in general. This can lead to redefining your relationship goals. Emotions are heightened right now, and inclinations are excessive, so do watch for taking premature action. Pay particular attention to new information or goings-on in your life as they can be significant. Take in now, and take action when it feels right. Over the coming weeks and even months, negotiations and one-to-one relationships are highlighted. While you can feel drained energetically around the time of an eclipse, today’s transits help you focus on growth and improvement. This can be a time when your ideas attract or draw others to you, or when someone with particularly interesting ideas is coming into your life. Changes of plans may turn out to be quite fun, inviting spontaneity into your life.

Pisces

Today’s Solar Eclipse happens in your sector of work, habits, health, and routines, dear Pisces, prompting a new start with any of these areas of life in the coming weeks and even months, as its range of influence is large. Circumstances are such that you want or need to start anew. It will soon be time for reworking or committing to improved or new daily routines, work projects, healthy habits, lifestyle changes, or even a new job or line of work in some cases. Be sure to pace yourself and avoid jumping into something without thinking. A new direction will come, and you don’t have to push for it. However, you’ll feel your motivation and courage build, and you’ll reach a point where you’re in charge and confident in what you’re doing. Self-improvement is in high focus. If you’ve struggled with difficult work relations or situations, this is a time to start fresh. Clearing up the clutter is necessary and beneficial now. Today, you can feel a little drained, but transits help boost you up. There can be a psychic rapport with others today, or you might have a powerful sense of trends influencing your interactions and projects.

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

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 12th:

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.

Original and inventive ideas may spring to life.

NEPTUNE

NEPTUNE IN ARIES

(1861/62 – 1874/75) It is important to note that Neptune takes about 164 years to make a complete cycle, spending about thirteen years in each sign. Therefore the interpretation of Neptune in the Sign applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation look at the house position. This generation have the potential to be spiritual pioneers. They take risks in exploring the mystical realms. This generation may also boast many pioneers in the arts.

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).
