Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

You’re in good shape to attract with your unique self-expression and vision today, dear Aries. Instead, it’s a time to put a grudge or misgiving behind you. You’re seeking ways to shine your light and share your ideas, love, and creations. While you’ve been focusing on areas of life that are not working, you more easily see the positive side of things early today, and you’re also freer with compliments, which can bring rewards. Romantic, creative, or playful pursuits can be satisfying now. You’re not likely to be in the ideal frame of mind for work and routine, so if you can make room for entertainment or hobbies today, all the better for your mood. It can be a time for an active form of emotional recharge. Later today, there can be a nagging sense that you’re not attending to practical details with a Mercury-Saturn influence in play. Responsibilities can eat up a lot of your time, even if you’re only thinking about them, and perhaps especially so, as this way, you may be expending more energy worrying about not doing something than it would take to get it done and put behind you! Weigh pros and cons but avoid overthinking.

Taurus

Friendships can thrive, or family relationships can be friendlier with a Venus-Jupiter trine early today, dear Taurus. It’s a good time to smooth over differences or enhance relationships simply by lending an ear. People you care about seem easier to get along with, and you are notably open to sharing your thoughts with them. It’s a good time for negotiations with family or about home and family matters. You might perform a generous act behind the scenes or anonymously, or you could receive unexpected support. Something might surface, such as an unusual coincidence, that brings some joy to your life. Putting your trust in someone can feel refreshing. Later today, you might think a lot about an issue but may not be any better off for it after much to-do, so think twice about overthinking! It may be better to have a conversation in your head rather than in person first. If you still think it’s a good idea once you have considered all the possibilities, then express it. With the energy of a Mercury-Saturn quincunx active later today, imbalances can be a focal point, but this can keep you in a state of limbo and unrest, so aim to make adjustments.

Gemini

Others might extend kindnesses to you, or pleasant exchanges can figure strongly today, dear Gemini. Learning something new is exciting, and an open heart seems to open doors. You could be furthering your mental interests, and the chance to expand your world or view is with you now. The ability to cope with life’s stresses with more patience or perspective can help you and others early today as Venus and Jupiter harmonize. It can be a time of creative inspiration, unusual events that positively impact your thought patterns, and fruitful, exciting communications. Interactions seem more balanced, fair, and peaceful. However, reaching a compromise later today can be challenging and perhaps exhausting. Instead, you could feel overwhelmed by family or household activities but can’t quite pull yourself away. Aim to work with the energy of a Mercury-Saturn quincunx instead of against it by allowing competition or criticism to motivate you to improve.

Cancer

Wisdom may be gained or shared with someone older or in authority today, dear Cancer. It can feel good to connect with someone special. Today is solid for putting effort into growing something, whether a business, relationship, or project, and enjoying the process. Generosity or openness can feel great, too. Others respond well to your communications early today, and there can be practical advice exchanged. Later today, there can be a lot to think about but not necessarily any answers, making patience a real virtue. In fact, it may be best to weigh options rather than engage in significant decision-making just for now. Try not to harp on issues that need more time to mature so that you can more readily enjoy the spirit of progress that’s in the air.

Leo

With a Venus-Jupiter transit early today, dear Leo, you are especially attracted to new ideas and mental exchanges, and there is a nice flow of communication. A new privilege or more leeway to do as you think is best can boost you. Relationships with others can strengthen through sharing personal philosophies and beliefs. Conversations about your problems with someone special can open up possible solutions. Ideas open new worlds for you, and others’ viewpoints can enrich your world. You are far-sighted right now, and while this transit may not be excellent for detail work, it’s a nice mood lifter. Later today, there can be concerns that bring you down to reality with a Mercury-Saturn aspect active. There can be a lot to think about, mainly related to money and valuables or relationship matters, and it’s best to weigh your options rather than force major decisions for now.

Virgo

A Venus-Jupiter transit today boosts a sense of intimacy with someone special or honesty with yourself, dear Virgo. There is a stronger sense of peace with yourself now–you’re more playful, easygoing, and engaged. Attracting support, if needed, comes naturally. People seem a little more willing, engaged, and generous. Your exchanges can be fruitful and nurturing. As the day advances, you shouldn’t rush decisions. It may be best to focus on making adjustments rather than bold moves. You might be spending too much time on issues that you can’t change, that are not yet fully developed, or that won’t be a concern for very long, and this is a bit of a waste if it doesn’t make you feel good.

Libra

You might reach a new level of understanding with someone special or with your own relationship needs today, dear Libra. With Venus in harmony with Jupiter, it’s a good time to forgive and forget or get over a hump or block. As well, your joy attracts positive attention. You’re feeling confident enough to share your ideas with others. As the day advances, you may encounter a need to improve or adjust something you thought was already complete. There could be vague disappointments or waning motivation for something you’ve been working on or towards. Try not to overthink things, though it can be a real tendency now with Mercury forming an awkward angle to Saturn. It’s not a time for bold moves, but the day is fine for doing some moderate weighing of pros and cons.

Scorpio

With a Venus-Jupiter aspect today, you could be particularly excited about a project or pursuit, dear Scorpio. Certain blocks seem less of a challenge, or they fall away. Others noticing your efforts, hard work, or contributions can encourage you further to do your best. You could feel good about the work you do or your efforts to improve your routines. It’s also a good time to share something in confidence and feel better to get it off your chest. You can be brimming with ideas about a new work project or improvements you can make to your life, although there may not be enough time to do all that you want to do. Later today, there can be plenty of interference to deal with, and it’s not an ideal time for decision-making because worries and fears may undermine the process with Mercury in an awkward angle to Saturn. Family obligations or the expectations of loved ones can weigh on your mind, and if you let them assume too much importance, it can be difficult to relax and enjoy yourself. Consider that you may be putting far too much pressure on yourself.

Sagittarius

There can be opportunities for shared happiness, cooperation, and loving gestures today, dear Sagittarius, with Venus in harmony with Jupiter. As well, creative projects or ideas can blossom. It’s possible that helping out a friend or acquaintance can give you a boost. A person or group association that is more creative, visionary, unusual, or unconventional can figure strongly in your life. There can be a positive romantic turnaround or burst of energy. Later today, it’s less than ideal for finding open channels for expressing yourself, however. In fact, you may find yourself in between others’ dilemmas, whether this is about mediating or overthinking problems. Make a plan for attending to your responsibilities so that you can rest easier, but do watch for speaking about a matter prematurely.

Capricorn

Your conversations are supportive and helpful in the first half of the day, dear Capricorn, and you seem to magnetize people to you for your advice. You are particularly objective and reasonable in your approach, which helps. What others say can inspire and touch you just as well. You might have the opportunity to employ some of your unique talents now, and this can attract friendly interest your way. There is some inclination to want to indulge and possibly go over the top when it comes to spending, comfort foods, and pleasures as your comfort and pleasure needs seem to rise. Overall, however, it’s a good time for centering yourself and approaching your life with a little more positivity. Later today, there may be a situation requiring cutting your losses and moving forward, or you may be focusing on a matter that hasn’t developed enough to warrant so much attention. It’s a good time to recognize the need for adjustments and make edits and refinements.

Aquarius

With the bright conditions of the day, dear Aquarius, it can be tempting to begin a new project, or you could take up a new interest. You can feel a little more motivated and optimistic and attract attention for your open spirit. Your kind gestures can help you get closer to someone. Later today, the need to be frugal, a reminder of a responsibility, or a feeling of being limited could temporarily undercut your positive outlook or conversations. This is due to Mercury in your intimacy sector forming an awkward aspect to Saturn in your sign today. It can be a thoughtful time, and quite excellent for making adjustments, but if your mind frequently wanders off to negative or stressed places, then it would be wise to treat the source of your concerns.

Pisces

There can be a bonus or a sense of more abundance today, dear Pisces, with Venus and Jupiter in harmony. The desire to share your happiness, joy, or good fortune with others is a theme. You might feel compelled to indulge your feelings of kindness towards someone special in your life and take the time to do something similar for yourself. Comfort foods and activities can be a strong desire now. Healing techniques for both mind and body can be a strong draw. Later today, try not to overthink things but do weigh the pros and cons. Communications may be blocked in some way, and you are less likely than usual to share your ideas, possibly second-guessing them. Try to keep a healthy perspective. Sometimes you get so close to a situation that you worry far too much, and this may be the case today with Mercury in awkward aspect to Saturn. Fortunately, it’s a good time to make adjustments and refinements that eventually benefit you.

Signs, Elements, Modes, & Lunar Phase

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes

Today’s Emphasized Signs of the Zodiac

TAURUS STRONG

Stable and enduring, strong values, unyielding, earthy, acquisitive, strong desires. Can be stuck, stubborn, overly possessive, self-indulgent.

LEO STRONG

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

Today’s Elemental Balance

EARTH STRONG

Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.

AIR WEAK

We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.

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

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.

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.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 18th:

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).

Our hearts or emotional needs and our minds seem to be cooperating, and we are able to communicate effectively. It’s a good time for publicity, marketing, writing, and studying.

CONJUNCTION MARS Orb 9°15′ Applying

Emotions are all-consuming. We desire adventure, change, and action. We can be hasty and rash, but if we use common sense as well, it can be a good time for getting the courage to do something brave. Instinctive reactions are quick.

SQUARE SATURN Orb 1°50′ Applying

CONJUNCTION URANUS Orb 0°51′ Separating

We are more competitive than cooperative at this time.

OPPOSITION SATURN Orb 4°05′ Separating

We may feel that forces are against us. Others may seem restrictive. We can feel temporarily blocked or thwarted, and possibly less than confident.

QUINCUNX NEPTUNE Orb 0°54′ Separating

Dreaming, creating, and imagining have better results than hard decision making right now. There can be a temporary loss/lack of clarity. We can be questoning whether what we are doing or pursuing feeds our spiritual needs. Make adjustments if there is a discrepancy.

QUINCUNX PLUTO Orb 0°59′ Applying

We could have a hard time deciding how to proceed about a matter. There may be a moral dilemma now, or a tough decision between taking the high road or the low road. We may be resisting change that is necessary in order to move forward or let go of something. We may be in denial about our own personal power or ambition.

We see beyond physical or material concerns and solutions. There is extra sensitivity now. We may be dealing with deceptions or self-deceptions, and it can be difficult to be discriminating. We may not be seeing the obvious, and instead are imagining more complicated scenarios.

This is a good time for serious and determined study and investigation. We are drawn to looking for truths and to unexplored topics and ideas.

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).
