Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

The Sun in your creative, expressive solar fifth house continues to encourage spontaneity, dear Aries, but today’s Moon prefers that you concentrate your energies. Some introspection is in order today. With the Sun and Moon at odds, there can be some restlessness or moodiness to manage, but it can also lead you to a greater understanding of your needs and desires. It’s best not to brush off deeper needs that surface and demand attention at this time of the lunar month. With today’s Mercury-Neptune minor challenge, a somewhat chaotic atmosphere can surround you in spots today, and important details are likely to be missed if you scatter yourself. Confusing conversations or subtle interactions can leave you wondering, particularly when it comes to love and friendship. You may be suffering from “wandering mind” syndrome! Tonight and into tomorrow, however, this energy turns around, and you are far more capable of focusing.

Taurus

You may be stirring up some resistance with people close to you at times today, dear Taurus, and it can be difficult not to mix the mind and emotions in challenging ways right now. Today’s Sun-Moon square can have you caught between two strong needs, but the tension can motivate you to make some useful changes. The need for time to yourself or with family may seem to clash with a sudden need for more companionship. You may also need to contend with fuzzy thinking or unclear instructions, but if you use your imagination well, you could look at problems from a new angle, which can add value to your day. It can be helpful to focus on more creative work than cold, hard facts, as your mind might otherwise wander. While it’s best not to trust everything you hear or even perceive right now, do allow the mental meanderings to happen if you can. You might dream up something that turns out to be quite helpful. By late today and into tomorrow, you’re likely to feel steadier, grounded, and considerably more practical.

Gemini

You’re in great shape for diversifying, learning, and seeking out new information these days, dear Gemini, with the Sun’s current transit of your communication sector. You get an energy buzz from exchanging ideas. Today’s Moon encourages you to put things in order and attend to your duties or practical affairs, however. You can feel behind but not quite ready to apply yourself to get back on track. As well, with a minor challenging aspect between Mercury and Neptune, there can be a slightly disorganized and possibly chaotic atmosphere around you. Since this can be a headache, it’s best to try to tune out as many distractions as you can. Late today and into tomorrow, there is slower, more deliberate energy with you, which can be grounding. Good advice may be circulating, and you may be contributing to this!

Cancer

Expanding your interests can be a focus today, dear Cancer. You can experience some impatience today as you imagine everything that could be and compare it to what isn’t the case. However, consider that mental and physical energies are mismatched for the time being. Avoid hasty decisions. Your attention span may be short, so aim to avoid taking on too much. The sooner you seek out balance, the sooner you can enjoy your day. There can certainly be an irritating lack of clarity now, but it’s temporary and manageable. You might decide to tune into your more creative, imaginative, or spiritual needs today, and avoid overthinking things. While it’s fine to keep your motives hidden today, avoid being outright misleading. Energies do a turnaround later today, when you are considerably more patient and practical.

Leo

You’re inclined to need and seek some extra personal time and space or room for spontaneity today, dear Leo. What you’re conveying to the world can conflict with your inner needs today, and you may need to perform a balancing act to set things straight. You have an emotional need to seek safe havens for now as the Moon transits your solar fourth house all day, and you may be feeling a little more sensitive than usual. Taking a break from mental busyness can be healing. Consider that you may be dealing with others’ unrealistic expectations of you. Be a little more mindful than usual about what you say and how you say it. Body language can also be misinterpreted. Later today and into tomorrow, very good energy is with you for coming to an appreciation for what you have, as well as of others’ points of view. You can improve your organization and discipline.

Virgo

The Moon spends the day in your communications sector, dear Virgo, and you can have a strong urge to reach out. Still, the Moon clashes with the Sun, which is currently in the privacy sector of your solar chart, and your need to keep to yourself is just as strong. While you may feel restless as a result, you may be able to keep your commitment to taking more time for yourself while also doing things that satisfy your need to diversify and engage. Aim to detach yourself a little from heavier topics and demanding activities so that you can do some meditation in motion. Find ways to reduce stress now, but avoid taking this so far that you ignore important projects. Later today, and extending into tomorrow, more clarity and a feeling of being grounded and focused is with you. You could find support from someone unexpected.

Libra

The day can pull up inner conflicts, dear Libra, mostly related to whether to stick with what you know or go out on a limb. A bout of cloudy thinking doesn’t help. The Moon in the sign after yours all day points to less urgency and more patience available to you, generally speaking, but it competes with your need for collaboration and your social urges today. As such, there can be fluctuating energy levels and moods, which can temporarily interfere with expressing yourself freely. If you’re not prepared to see them, it can be very easy to gloss over facts or reminders of reality today. By tonight, you’re looking once again for clarity, but until then, you are inclined to want to nurse a dream or vision, whether or not it’s feasible. You may very well need more time making decisions and forming conclusions just for now. There is far more direction tonight and extending into tomorrow, when expectations come back down to earth.

Scorpio

The Moon spends the day in your sign, dear Scorpio, marking a time for recognizing your emotional needs and expressing your feelings in satisfying ways. This transit brings you out of your shell and ready to connect with others, although this may conflict with your broader goals, at least temporarily. The Sun’s current transit of your solar tenth house puts goals and ambitions above most other things in your life these days, but today, personal and social needs vie for your attention. As well, clarity is difficult to achieve today, particularly as it relates to work. Fanciful and imaginative thinking can be very refreshing and relaxing. Still, sometimes it’s distracting and stirs chaos if you can’t seem to turn it off at will, as it may be today. This is more likely if you are required to buckle down and concentrate. Put off important decisions if at all possible just for now. Later today, and extending into tomorrow, you’re far more inclined to prioritize, focus, and deal with practical affairs with realism.

Sagittarius

Your need for time away from pressure-ridden situations is strong today, dear Sagittarius, even if a good part of you wants to keep on the move. With the Moon in your privacy sector today, it may be best to listen to your emotions, which nudge you towards quieter moments and possibly some reflection. With more attention to your inner needs, things seem to fall into place all around. You possess more creative flair than usual today, but if life demands more of you in the form of concentration, focus, or discipline, you might feel at a loss. It’s temporary, and probably necessary. Allow your mind to wander, but reel it back in from time to time. You may decide not to trust your perceptions today, particularly those surrounding love relationships or children in your life, as they could be based more on wishful thinking than reality. However, later today and into tomorrow, your attitude toward responsibility changes, and you are drawn to more routine, simpler activities.

Capricorn

A focus on networking and friends comes naturally today, dear Capricorn, but this can feel at odds with your need for more intimacy or more in-depth exploration of a topic. Aim to relax enough to absorb, learn, and share ideas for improvement—an approach far preferable to pushing something ahead too quickly. The Moon’s transit of your social sector is largely a happy one, as it brings out your more sociable side or your need for a sense of belonging to something greater than yourself. There’s a bit of a rebel in you today, but it’s good for you to break some patterns in small ways at the moment. This is a time for playing things by ear. Some interactions with others, particularly a partner or close friend, can be confusing now, however. Imagination colors almost everything you do and say now, which can be wonderful if you’re creating something. However, it may not serve you well if you must buckle down and focus. You are more attracted to, and seduced by, possibilities than you are the straight facts just for now. Later today, and extending into tomorrow, this turns right around, and you could find it much easier to prioritize.

Aquarius

There may be a call to your duties or for you to perform today, dear Aquarius, with the Moon transiting the top of your chart. It’s a more accountable, goal-focused time of the lunar month. This can certainly contrast with the current sociable theme in your life. However, once past a struggle between wanting to go your own way and collaborating with someone close to you, you can be quite productive. At the same time, if you are looking for definite answers or commitments from someone, it can be frustrating and confusing until later today and into tomorrow, when energies shift. Particularly when it comes to relationships, your thinking can be clouded right now. Wait things out before making something official or final.

Pisces

Your interests expand today, dear Pisces, with the Moon spending the day in your spirit sector, encouraging you to see more options and possibilities. This mindset can distract you from the task, but you may need to find more meaning in your work or duties. You may need a change of pace or a change of scenery for a short while to come back refreshed. Moving just a little out of your comfort zone can be invigorating. The desire to get something done can come on in a rush, but you need to direct this energy constructively to make it work for you, and that’s challenging for much of the day. Mentally, you might feel in the dark, or you could be fretting over a vaguely chaotic atmosphere. Clearer thinking will return late today and into tomorrow, so do your best not to strain yourself. Your thinking may feel a little too idealistic to carry weight.

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. 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).

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.

22ND DEGREE OF SCORPIO

Part of Body: Ethmoid bone

Sabian Symbol: Hunters starting out for ducks.

ASPECTS OF THE MOON

SQUARE THE SUN Orb 4°59′ Applying

There can be a conflict between our intentions and our emotions now. We can feel tense and unsatisfied until we take care of problems. We can be unsure about whether we want support or to do things independently.

SQUARE MERCURY Orb 3°20′ Separating

It’s difficult to make decisions now as emotional needs and wants seem to conflict with what we feel are the most logical choices. Judgment may be skewed by emotions or personal bias.

THE SUN

THE SUN IN LEO

You are good-hearted, have a sunny personality, and a strong need for attention. You have a generous nature, but can be arrogant.

27TH DEGREE OF LEO

Part of Body: Chordae tendinae

Sabian Symbol: Daybreak.

ASPECTS OF THE SUN

CONJUNCTION MERCURY Orb 8°19′ Applying

Thoughts and communications about ourselves and our goals. We are expressing ourselves confidently, directly, and clearly.

TRINE CHIRON Orb 4°03′ Applying

We find it easier to bounce back from criticism, rejection, or feelings of insecurity; to humble ourselves. We can be filled with a sense of purpose. We more easily cooperate with others.

CONJUNCTION THE SOUTH NODE Orb 3°08′ Applying

In past lives you have not expressed yourself to your greatest potential. In this life you are being challenged to use these talents. You have been given a second chance.

MERCURY

MERCURY IN LEO

19TH DEGREE OF LEO

ASPECTS OF MERCURY

TRINE SATURN Orb 4°05′ Separating

13TH DEGREE OF LIBRA

Part of Body: Right renal system

Sabian Symbol: Children blowing soap bubbles.

ASPECTS OF VENUS

SEXTILE JUPITER Orb 1°25′ Separating

A good time to expand our connections, contacts, creative pursuits, romantic relationships. There is more generosity and good will in our relationships. We might be more inclined to indulge, shop, socialize, and enjoy ourselves. Follow your bliss. Now is the time to discover your true heart’s desire. This could be a person, a vocation, or an artistic hobby.

OPPOSITION SATURN Orb 1°47′ Applying

You have an inability to trust and show your love for other people. This probably stems from childhood experiences with your parents. You may have felt unworthy of your parents’ love. Alternatively you may have perceived your parents’ as cold and unloving. As an adult you may become involved in relationships with an older person or someone who offers you financial or emotional security. You need to develop your own value system and develop compassion for yourself and other people.

MARS

MARS IN CANCER

We are less likely to move straightforwardly towards our desires now. Our emotional moods especially affect the pursuit of our goals. We are a little more cautious and conservative under this influence, but we will fight for, about, or on behalf of those people and things that are dearest to our heart.

6TH DEGREE OF CANCER

Part of Body: Diaphragm

Sabian Symbol: Game birds feathering their nests.

ASPECTS OF MARS

SQUARE NEPTUNE Orb 1°31′ Separating

Sabian Symbol: An evening lawn party.

ASPECTS OF JUPITER

TRINE SATURN Orb 3°12′ Applying

SATURN

SATURN IN ARIES

You are resourceful, and capable of applying new methods in a practical manner. Your lessons are in patience and self-reliance.

15TH DEGREE OF ARIES

Part of Body: Lateral lobes of brain

Sabian Symbol: A person weaving a blanket.

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. For a more individual interpretation look at the house position. This is the generation which becomes focused on new forms of communication and the world’s networks. Original and inventive ideas may spring to life.

6TH DEGREE OF GEMINI

Part of Body: Lower left pulmonary lobe

Sabian Symbol: Drilling for oil.

ASPECTS OF URANUS

SEXTILE NEPTUNE Orb 1°32′ Separating

Your generation has a chance to bring about social change. You work outside the normal government channels to achieve these changes.

TRINE PLUTO Orb 1°44′ Separating

Your generation is full of ideals for a better society. You accept social change and work to bring it about. You will fight against injustice.

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.

4TH DEGREE OF ARIES

Part of Body: Pineal Gland

Sabian Symbol: Two lovers strolling through a secluded walk.

ASPECTS OF NEPTUNE

SEXTILE PLUTO Orb 0°11′ Separating

You belong to a generation which is able to bring about social change. You are part of the changes in government and the approach to human rights. Spirituality and the occult are given more credence or power. Alternatively, some of your generation will choose to drop out of the system.

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).

4TH DEGREE OF AQUARIUS

Part of Body: Left fibula

Sabian Symbol: A hindu healer.

ASPECTS OF PLUTO

SQUARE CHIRON Orb 3°00′ Applying

You have an intense and emotional side to your nature. Unhappy scenes from your childhood may lurk in your memory.

Facing your problems will help you feel more powerful in your life, and you will discover your own hidden potentials.

Chiron, Major Asteroids, Moon's Nodes Positions
