Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Your belief in yourself and others takes you far today, dear Aries. Today’s Venus-Jupiter aspect reminds you of the benefits of putting more faith in the people you love and appreciating the positives in your life. Giving others the benefit of the doubt is particularly beneficial for you with Venus currently transiting your partnership sector. It’s a good time to express your appreciation for someone special, as this can boost a bond or open up opportunities to connect with someone. Others are drawn to your good humor and generous, open mood. Today is also a good day to dive into a project that requires attention to detail. You tend to be on the right track. Certain conversations can be helpful and instructive. Applying yourself to constructive activities or hobbies can help you get your priorities straight.

Taurus

With today’s transits, dear Taurus, it can be a wonderful time for enjoying work and family. There can be a pleasing level of cooperation today, and you thrive with this kind of atmosphere! Emotional clarity creates positive energy right now. Your passion and warmth show through in the work you do, the services you provide, or in your domestic pursuits and home-related projects. It’s an ideal time to put your faith in someone you love and let them know. Your positivity certainly helps attract support and interest from others. Energies today also spotlight common sense and a desire for a plan or strategy. It’s a good time to organize the home or do something productive behind the scenes. Focusing on what you can do to improve your personal life can be soothing and empowering. There can be a positive show of support through good advice or reliability.

Gemini

You’re likely to feel happier, more motivated, and well-supported today, dear Gemini, as Venus and Jupiter harmonize. You can be in good shape for sharing your ideas, creations, and affections with someone. You are no longer pining for what might be — you’re confident about pursuing your dreams. You may receive positive reviews or feedback for your work, creativity, or insight. You may be feeling lucky in love or particularly pleased with your current interests and projects. It’s obvious today that relationships are more successful with some leeway or flexibility. Still, your eye for the details is also excellent today. A Mercury-Saturn trine brings groundedness through communication with relatives or acquaintances, friends, or even yourself through journaling. Positive feedback can fuel your motivation to do your best and your confidence and enthusiasm.

Cancer

More so than usual, you see the bright side of a situation today, dear Cancer, but you’re also realistic, which is a fine combination. The desire to share your happiness and good fortune with someone is strong. Generous feelings can inspire you to extend a nice gesture to someone special in your life. You can stumble upon a good buy or enjoy taking special care of a prized possession. Appreciating what you currently have boosts your feelings of abundance. While you may have been on the fence about expressing your feelings, you’re now ready to discuss things openly and honestly. The day’s transits also encourage practical thinking, or you might decide to face something you’ve let slide or put on a shelf, and it’s satisfying! Conversations can be constructive, and you may learn a trick or two that helps you advance your goals.

Leo

You are presenting yourself with confidence and positivity today, dear Leo, and you’re being received especially well. You are generous with your time and understanding right now. Even small gestures made now can have a great impact. Your engaging manner is appreciated, and you can also be thoroughly excited about learning something new or making contacts. Transits today support a confident presentation, optimism, and generosity, but you’re also in good shape for keeping things real. In fact, you’re quick to identify and focus on priorities. It can be an excellent time to follow through on a dream, pet project, or another endeavor that’s close to your heart.

Virgo

Today’s energies can be fortunate for activities that are fun, romantic, and creative, dear Virgo, but the day is also strong for centering yourself. There can be a pleasant spirit of understanding, tolerance, and support now, making it a good time for healing, forgiving, or taking a relationship to a new level. It’s a great time to give someone the benefit of the doubt. Confidence in your worth and value can attract positive attention, and perhaps even a bonus or recognition. Relationships and practical matters are both in good form. Focusing on firming up and securing your life in small ways can be a priority, and it feels great to do so. You prefer to channel your mental energies into something worthwhile or substantial. You’re likely to have remarkably accurate perceptions about an issue related to unfinished business.

Libra

With Venus, your ruling planet, in your sign in harmony with Jupiter today, dear Libra, you may enjoy excellent relations with friends. Or you can be especially satisfied and happy with your plans and projects. Your ideas are original, and they excite and motivate you. You are received well today, and you’re admired for your personal style. Venus in your sign certainly highlights your attractive qualities these days, and Jupiter’s support brings benefits from this. It’s easier than usual to gravitate towards what your heart wants. You may be focused on a new direction, and you enjoy solving problems or simply looking past flaws and challenges to good times ahead of you. At the same time, you’re thinking logically, and the practical side of things gets your attention. You’re feeling anchored, and you can benefit from some organized thinking. You can tie together original ideas in practical ways, or you might enjoy a reinforcing, supportive alliance or conversation that builds your confidence and optimism.

Scorpio

Enthusiasm seems in good supply today, dear Scorpio. You may enjoy a cooperative, positive feel to your interactions. A private or anonymous act of kindness might lift your spirits, or you may come to a new understanding of a past matter that helps you move forward more confidently. You can enjoy setting goals for yourself and basking in the confidence that you’ll reach them in due time. Today is strong for putting an irritating problem behind you. You’re focused on growing and improving, and doing meaningful work puts you in a good mood. At the same time, you’re feeling grounded and practical. Your responsible side is in the spotlight, mainly through your work, services, or leadership. A sense of mission or purpose boosts your productivity.

Sagittarius

While elevated moods can sometimes lead to overestimation, dear Sagittarius, today’s energies seem to even things out. Aim to tap into the subtly uplifting energies offered up to you via a Venus-Jupiter sextile today. You could make beautiful connections or bond with a friend by sharing ideas and beliefs. Or, your interest in a project strengthens, and you enjoy some building enthusiasm now. Your sense of community is strong right now, and emotional satisfaction can come through your interactions with friends and associates or new ideas and interests. Matters related to team efforts, business income, publishing, promotion, and education are favored for you. With Mercury and Saturn also in harmony, you want to get on track. Focusing on what’s doable will do wonders for you, even if it means making some progress rather than big wins. You can benefit from taking things step by step.

Capricorn

Today’s Venus-Jupiter aspect encourages a light and open approach to the day, dear Capricorn. It brings good energy for social, business, and leisure activities, and a Mercury-Saturn transit also in play helps round things out nicely. You more clearly see the worth and value of things, professionally, practically, and personally, which leads to sensible decisions. You find the right answers more quickly today than you might on another day. You’re likely to feel valued by someone, which encourages you. You more easily understand and appreciate the perspectives of people around you, and you can feel more content than usual. You more readily see things for what they are, not only what you wish or fear them to be, and a feeling of emotional strength helps buoy you. There is an attraction to what’s beneath the surface or hidden from sight, and you can delight in trying to figure things out or solve a mystery.

Aquarius

Today’s Venus-Jupiter sextile brings smooth, flowing energy, dear Aquarius, especially to your relationships, but it also contributes to your overall sense of fulfillment. It’s a good time to circulate, connect, collaborate, and share. In fact, sharing ideas and beliefs can boost a relationship. You might bond with someone as you make a greater attempt to understand them. You have a stronger interest in the bigger issues, although you’re not ignoring the important details either. Plans might be made to broaden your horizons with someone special. A Mercury-Saturn transit also in play helps ground your thinking or communications. You may have a constructive conversation or session with someone who helps you organize your thoughts and shifts you into a more practical, realistic frame of mind. Someone could be an excellent sounding board for your ideas.

Pisces

You’re in a good place today on both social and practical levels, dear Pisces. Your thinking is both optimistic and pragmatic, which helps you make the right decisions. People are more likely to be cooperative with you, and feedback has a positive, growth-oriented tone. You may very well get a nice pat on the back or sense that appreciation is present. You see the positive elements of your life more clearly now. It’s a fine time for loosening up a little and enjoying your current circumstances, but also making plans for new beginnings and adventures. There can be positive feelings about work projects or investments, and your intimate life can get a boost. Your interest strengthens with attention to detail, work, health, and problem-solving today. Even if it’s only in your mind or still in the planning stage, you’ll find organizing your thinking soothing right now.

We are more intellectual, fair-minded, and logical in our approach, Ideas flow easily and quickly, we are more communicative and guided by principles, and also somewhat dispassionate or impersonal.

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.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 17th:

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).
