Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

You’re in great shape for expressing yourself, exchanging ideas, and enjoying people in your life, dear Aries. This can be a good time to pay special attention to a special project, pastime, or endeavor. There can be opportunities to express yourself creatively. While the day isn’t great for sticking to routines, you’re open to challenging yourself and discovering ways to grow and improve. The Moon’s move into your partnership sector inclines you to seek company or feedback. Later today, mixed messages are possible, and they may be given or received! Energies may temporarily dip, but it’s a good idea to slow down and consider different angles of a situation, adjusting your plans if needed. There may be some doubts that need clearing up, and it’s a process that you can’t and shouldn’t push.

Taurus

While you’re especially comfortable with others today, you’re also ready to take on a gentle challenge, dear Taurus. There’s no need to push anything. In fact, some understatement can do the most for you right now. Supportive emotional and family relationships can figure strongly as the Sun and North Node harmonize. You might work on healing the family dynamic or gain a better understanding of your deeper needs and desires. The Moon moves into your work and health sector, and paying some special attention to your daily affairs, tasks, and commitments can be empowering. Later today, avoid taking on new projects or duties so that you don’t overload yourself. Your focus tends to diffuse. It may not be easy to do what you want because people who need help or support are taking priority.

Gemini

Good energy is with you for connecting and communicating, dear Gemini, with the Sun’s trine to the Moon’s North Node. You can come up with some exciting ideas with high potential. Mental interests, learning, and projects fare nicely. Your sense of what’s right for you is on-point, and you gravitate to gentle challenges. The Moon’s move into your sector of joy softens your disposition as well–it’s a nice time to enjoy and express yourself. Still, as the day advances, energies are a little too murky for big moves. Instead, it’s a time to slow down and process, digest, and enjoy yourself. Aim to slow your approach just enough to see where you might be making errors or overlooking your true feelings on a matter. Listen well to what your intuition has to say, but wait for clarity since it’s not the time for clear answers.

Cancer

You’re in great shape for financial discoveries or ideas that give you a sense that you’re going somewhere, dear Cancer. You may get the chance to use your natural talents in rewarding ways. It’s a time to recognize the need to put yourself out there or believe in yourself to succeed and enjoy new opportunities. While it can feel slightly uncomfortable momentarily, you quickly feel good about taking on a gentle challenge. The Moon’s move into your solar fourth house gives you a strong sense of belonging and comfort. Later today, you can be more sensitive than usual, and it may be that you need some rest or special attention to overlooked needs. Watch for seeing problems where they don’t exist. If emotions and reactions seem to be inappropriate for the situation, it’s time to look within. Try not to let whims blur your judgment.

Leo

You’re likely to want to play things by ear today, dear Leo. The Moon’s move into your communications sector inspires your curiosity. Additionally, with the Sun in your sign harmonizing with the North Node of the Moon, spiritual growth and wellness can be in focus. You might be a mentor of sorts, guiding someone to a better mental space. You’re well-positioned for expressive, growth-oriented, sharing, and learning activities. Contributing and connecting comes more naturally, and they can be quite rewarding. You might also feel inspired by a story or viewpoint. Later today, we head toward a Sun-Neptune quincunx, however, and you could be feeling a little vulnerable or low, and temporarily demotivated. Consider sleeping on your ideas and waiting for confidence to return. This way, you’ll get the chance to consider more angles. It’s possible that in your haste to move your plans forward that you’re missing some critical emotional considerations, and now is the time to catch up.

Virgo

The Moon moves into your stable sector of resources today, dear Virgo, and the Sun’s trine to the North Node, and your emotional disposition is strong. You’re up for a challenge! There can be a boost to your private or emotional life, and you see the benefits of taking extra time to connect with your feelings, inner needs, and desires. You may find special meaning in helping others, support, volunteer work, or an intimate connection. Taking the time to relax, refresh, and get in touch with your inner world can be especially rewarding. Drawing upon your inner well comes naturally, and it can be satisfying. Later today, however, you can feel more impressionable, vulnerable, sensitive, and inclined to daydream. You can feel tempted to withdraw and escape. Watch for confusion or vagueness with others.

Libra

The Moon heads into your sign for a stay of over two days, dear Libra, and emotions are transparent and feel more immediate or pressing. With today’s Sun-Node connection, you can find support for your creative efforts or projects, and your interactions with a partner, friends, or acquaintances are positive and inspiring. The flow of communication is energetic and smooth, and you or someone in your life can come up with fabulous ideas to contribute to a dream or vision. Relationships can be active, and small changes and improvements are precisely what you need now, particularly with friends, dreams, personal interests, and long-term happiness goals. Still, a temporary dip in energy is possible later today, and it may be better to go with the flow or wait and see rather than insist on a solid plan.

Scorpio

Today’s transits contribute to a feeling more secure about your accomplishments or work, dear Scorpio. Allowing yourself to make some mistakes strengthens your confidence in the long run. Still, the Moon’s move into your privacy sector for a stay of over two days suggests some desire or need to retreat just a little. You’re quite content staying in the background–it’s a natural time to recharge and review. Aiming for mastery over the material resources and techniques for achieving your goals feels right. There can be a boost to your sense of purpose or mission now. Despite the private, internal focus, you may be in the position of increased responsibility, and you’re wearing this role well! Later today, as much as you’d like to move your plans or goals forward, some uncertainty can slow things down, which can be a good thing. Strive for objectivity, even if you need to find it through someone else, before making any substantial commitments, or delay them for a better time.

Sagittarius

You might discover something valuable for progressing a hobby, pet project, or romance today, dear Sagittarius. With a Sun-Node transit, you’re a little less attached to your worries, leading to just the right atmosphere to enjoy yourself more. Relating to others as equals opens you up to all kinds of opportunities. It’s an excellent time to connect and share ideas and bond with others as you do. You’re feeling more self-confident and optimistic in your social relationships, and you’re seeking more meaning as you express yourself and share your ideas and talents with others. It’s a time for putting your emotions into motion. Later today, however, the gap between your wishes and reality may seem more prominent than usual, but don’t waste time on discouragement. Instead, give yourself time.

Capricorn

Your desire to grow, build, improve, and move forward, particularly in your emotional or personal life, is prominent now, dear Capricorn. With a Sun-Node connection in play, home or family matters tend to run smoothly, and there may be an opportunity to resolve conflicts or focus on reinforcement and reward. Relationships get a nice boost since you’re fearless in showing your compassion. You may gain just the perspective you need to feel good about your emotional or personal life. Still, the Moon moves into your career sector for a stay of over two days, and you can feel reinforced and stronger by taking care of business. You readily take charge with this transit. Later today, there’s a tendency to feel a bit out of the loop temporarily. Aim to be selective with where to direct your energy, and aim to rest or strengthen yourself instead of pushing something that isn’t ready to move.

Aquarius

You get a sense that reaching out to others is right for you and can help move you forward today, dear Aquarius. It’s also an excellent time to think up solutions to problems. Today’s Sun-Node connection positions you well to strengthen relationships, make fortunate connections, repair difficulties, and enjoy a sense of mutual support. With the Moon’s move into your solar ninth house for a stay of over two days, there can be a pleasant feeling of joy and comfort in thinking about the bigger picture or far-off plans. Later today, as a Sun-Neptune quincunx come sinto play, you could feel just a little deflated, but it’s temporary and can be a sign that you need a break or timeout. Promises and plans formed now may go by the wayside later, and you could be tempted to go the easy route. Rather than committing, it may be best to put things on hold until you figure them out.

Pisces

With today’s Sun-Node aspect, dear Pisces, you can absorb a lot, mainly related to your work and health. People are valuing your helpfulness or, through your interactions, you find more meaning in what you do. You can have many ideas and plans going on, and you could arrive at especially unique ideas to make, save, or spend money and enjoy your work. Improving confidence in yourself to earn more or to take charge of your practical affairs can figure strongly now. The Moon moves into your solar eighth house for a stay of over two days, and you seek a gentle challenge or an absorbing focus. As the day advances, you may feel a little demotivated or uncertain just for the time being, which can signal that there are more angles to consider before moving on. Or, you may not have paid enough attention to your emotional needs and goals, and it’s time to catch up.

Decisions about family, health, or nutrition may need to be made now.

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.

VIRGO STRONG

Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.

LIBRA STRONG

Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, a strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.

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.

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

The modes are balanced today.

Today’s Lunar Phase

LUNAR PHASE: NEW MOON

Moon 0 to 45 degrees ahead of the Sun.

This is an energetic, impulsive, and subjective period of time. We are looking for new projects and opportunities.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 19th:

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).
