Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

You might throw yourself into a creative project or activity that engrosses you today, dear Aries, possibly to escape some of the up-and-down feelings, which can be very satisfying. Certainly, excitement can fill your mind with fresh new ideas. Write down whatever you don’t communicate or put into motion, because it’s an excellent time for new insights. Major launches or purchases are not yet wise, however. You might need time to yourself or moments for serious thought, particularly as the day advances. The Moon hooks into the energies of the Jupiter-Saturn square, highlighting a conflict revolving around your urge to expand your mind, contacts, and experiences as it competes with your obligations to caring for others or your increased need for downtime, especially structured time to yourself. If you’ve lined up too many potential projects or have too many choices, you could feel overwhelmed in the face of other responsibilities that limit your progress or hold you back. This transit will resurface later this year, so you have some time to work on finding a better balance, but it’s a good idea to consider ways to moderate things now.

Taurus

Today’s transits boost your ability to focus on domestic activities and pursuits, dear Taurus, although you may feel somewhat restless as the day advances. You can quickly and easily find solutions to problems that make you feel more secure, mainly having to do with family and expenses. The desire to nest, get comfortable, and enjoy more steadiness in your life can clash with responsibilities to friends or groups, however. Consider whether you’re overdoing your commitment to nesting or indulging your desire for comfort too much for your own good. Responsibilities or restrictions can seem a little heavy later today, but you’re quick to pull yourself out of a funk and do what needs to get done. Avoid waiting for others to figure out what you need and instead look for ways to express your wants or desires.

Gemini

You might enjoy pouring more attention into a personal interest or into learning something special today, dear Gemini. Still, your responsibilities and performance are high on your list of concerns today. There may be more eyes on you than usual, and it’s a good time for a checkpoint on your goals and ambitions. Still, with a Jupiter-Saturn square still fresh, obligations to the outside world can feel limiting at this time, as they might rain on your parade. You’re anxious to spread your wings on personal levels, but the world has different ideas for you temporarily! Your stronger need for independence or space can come with a price. The temptation may be to overdo one thing or the other, but a compromise is less stressful. It might also help to identify and discern between true desire and urgency that stems from inner discontent.

Cancer

It’s a good day to pay more attention to your most prized possessions, dear Cancer, or put effort into making things comfortable and secure. While you might crave engaging experiences and a break from the routine, you also recognize your need for some stability, and you’re willing to work for it. Still, you might enjoy learning, studying, and sharing. Attempts to increase your knowledge or apply it can be particularly effective. Today’s Moon highlights the Jupiter-Saturn square, which can lead to sidetracking or difficulties concentrating on your priorities. While you have a great need and desire to enjoy more downtime, privacy, and rest or detox, outside obligations such as courses or special goals can be calling, and you can feel limited until you find workarounds and a compromise.

Leo

The key to balance today may be to take charge of your own happiness instead of waiting for someone else to make you happy, dear Leo. Following this, you’re in a far better position in general, and you might be acknowledged for your responsibility, dedication, or willingness to make some personal sacrifices to accommodate others. Still, today’s Moon highlights a Jupiter-Saturn square that sets into motion a restructuring theme in your life. Intimate relationships or an increased need for privacy or exclusiveness can impact friendships and social goals–and vice versa! The answer may be to simplify or cut back on something, even if this is not the easiest choice. There can be difficulties, such as power struggles or concerns about betrayal or boundaries. The desire to enjoy friendships and sharing is with you, but something or someone may hold you back or temporarily stand in your way. It may be best to simplify your life, remembering that quality is more important than quantity in these areas.

Virgo

It’s crucial not to rely on external factors for happiness and satisfaction today, dear Virgo, and to work on managing expectations. This doesn’t mean settling for less than respect, but rather giving everyone space and allowing events to unfold naturally. Fortunately, you have a good flow of energy for accomplishing your work and fulfilling responsibilities with less effort than usual, which can help speed things along. However, today’s Moon highlights the Jupiter-Saturn square, and balancing your relationships or relationship goals with career goals and responsibilities to the outside world can be a significant challenge. These life areas might clash or compete at the moment, creating pressure from various aspects of your life. Look for ways to reduce stress.

Libra

You tend to seek out extra time to sort yourself out emotionally today, dear Libra. Changing your methods and pulling yourself out of the usual patterns can be just what you need if you feel unfulfilled. You might discover something entirely new and valuable from a detour or schedule change. At the same time, today’s Moon highlights the Jupiter-Saturn square, making it difficult to make solid decisions. Your stronger desire to explore and enjoy more spontaneous and non-routine activities and experiences can clash with your need to fulfill your daily obligations and extra commitments to work or chores. Fortunately, you’re positioned to find a balance between your attention to routine and responsibility with your desire for discovery and exploration as you advance. For now, it’s a good idea to devise strategies for moderating or simplifying your life in empowering ways.

Scorpio

Relaxing your pace just a little can work wonders today, dear Scorpio. Take charge of your own happiness rather than waiting for someone else to fill that job. While personal affairs are in the spotlight today, once you resign yourself to an easy pace, you can be quite focused on long-term goals, career matters, and responsibilities. Focusing on the results can make your efforts more worthwhile. Nevertheless, today’s Moon hooks into the Jupiter-Saturn square, and it makes sense to work on strategies to resolve this longer-term influence. The greater joy you experience in your intimate world can clash with responsibilities elsewhere, particularly related to a hobby, heartfelt pursuit, romance, or care of children. This transit highlights the differences in tastes, styles, or attitudes with people close to you, which can feel particularly disruptive. However, whatever emerges at this time can reveal vulnerable areas in your relationships or insecurities within, and recognizing these things can help you begin the work of finding a compromise.

Sagittarius

The best strategy today may be to stay centered and avoid expecting too much from people and the world, dear Sagittarius. This doesn’t need to stop you from enjoying a comfortable pace and doing some good thinking. With the Moon at the bottom of your solar chart, the need to surround yourself with familiar places or faces can be strong. This Moon also highlights the Jupiter-Saturn square, which in turn spotlights a clash between your strong enjoyment of relating and your responsibilities to your home life or family. Family members or duties to the home can feel burdensome or restricting in spots, particularly in comparison to your relationships and social life. The key now is to recognize limits and adjust accordingly.

Capricorn

Evening out your pace and mood today can be a bit of a challenge, dear Capricorn, but can be well worth it. You may need to put some monotonous work or tasks behind you before you can answer to life’s calls to do more. Nevertheless, once you resign yourself to focusing on priorities, you might enjoy throwing yourself into a project or mystery to solve. You could find yourself entirely absorbed in a quest for more information today, and while it can consume a lot of your time, it’s a pleasant activity. The Moon does highlight the Jupiter-Saturn square, and doing some thinking on this conflict can be worthwhile. This transit can bring on a conflict or clash between your increased desire to pursue work and health activities and your responsibilities to others or special projects and personal interests. However, it also provides an opportunity for growth and balance. While it can be challenging to juggle everything you have going on, you might aim to get a handle on your priorities to navigate these areas.

Aquarius

Today’s transits are supportive of close relationships, negotiations, and compromises, dear Aquarius. Teaming up with someone can be useful and productive. The Moon spends the day in your resources sector, boosting your desire to get comfortable. The Moon also highlights the potential clash between your financial responsibilities or a stronger desire for security and your newfound craving to connect, communicate, and enjoy yourself more fully. You may be holding on a little too tightly to certain possessions and attitudes, for example, and as you begin to feel a strong desire to break free and try new things and ways of expressing yourself, there can be some tension. It’s a time to examine what’s preventing you from enjoying your life and taking a few creative risks.

Pisces

Letting things flow and keeping everything moderate feels right early today, dear Pisces. You can feel good about being productive and dedicating yourself to taking care of chores or details. The Moon spends the day in your sign, and you’re also paying special attention to your feelings and emotional needs. As the Moon hooks into the Jupiter-Saturn square, however, there can be some dilemmas or a bit of discontent, ideally pushing you to make improvements. This transit pits your desire to expand or grow with family or home life against personal responsibilities and feelings of limitation or reserve. Conversely, personal responsibilities can interfere with enjoyment in your home life. Try to look within rather than to others for happiness, as it’s a far better strategy! Limits disappear or rebound off you as your perspective changes.

Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.

We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships and are made aware of recent imbalances. Something can come to fruition. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 20th:

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).

QUINCUNX NEPTUNE Orb 1°12′ Applying

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.

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.

However, we can also push ourselves to reach a little further than we usually do, particularly on a social level.

OPPOSITION SATURN Orb 1°42′ Separating

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.

(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).

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).
