Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries
Aries
Aries
People are drawn to you naturally right now, dear Aries, but it’s also a good idea to make time for quiet activities and projects focused on building and developing. You have strengthening aspects with you in the first half of the day that help you concentrate and prioritize. Extra effort put into mental or creative tasks can bring rewards. It can be easy to get distracted later in the day. Disagreements may come up, likely due to rushing and impatience, with Mercury under minor strain. There can be so much to think about and organize in your brain that you can’t seem to settle in and relax. It may be a good idea to use mental tension to plow through something that requires a thick skin, but avoid rushing things that need special handling.

Taurus
Taurus
Taurus
You can begin the day with a mission and a practical mindset, dear Taurus. It can be a time for a better understanding of something or someone, mainly related to the past, family, or your roots and background. You might benefit from adding structure or order to an area of life where you have some control. In fact, making lists and plans can be comforting. As the day advances, there can be an exciting discovery or news, firing you up and fueling your enthusiasm. Something communicated could get you going, stirring you into action. However, it’s best not to rush things. It may be better to avoid pushing something you can’t change. Despite a busy pace, you may not feel particularly productive if you’re doing things in a scattered way. Avoid jumping to conclusions.

Gemini
Gemini
Gemini
You tend to focus on activities that give you a sense of accomplishment in the first half of the day, dear Gemini. Good energy supports feeling pleasantly connected to a project, idea, or person. It can be a time to discover (or rediscover) ideas, projects, and even a person you love. Later today, however, it’s a little too easy to become distracted. It can be difficult to focus or concentrate with too many things to think about and consider. You may feel that you’re in a hurry even if there isn’t an actual rush, so check in with yourself. Still, the mental agitation stirred now can motivate you to handle a matter you’ve been avoiding.

Cancer
Cancer
Cancer
There may be a chance to come to someone’s aid or to draw on your talents to the utmost today, dear Cancer. A bond can improve as you pay more attention to validating someone’s feelings and opinions. You also benefit from organizing or preparing your practical affairs, even in small ways. It can be both rewarding and comforting to take care of your “future self” in tangible ways. Later today, you could be quite distractable, however, with a Mercury-Mars minor challenging aspect coming into influence. Frustrations can emerge in unexpected ways with this transit, especially if you’re rushing or encountering multiple minor problems. Avoid rushing things, particularly finance-related endeavors and communications.

Leo
Leo
Leo
Energies in the first half of the day boost benefits through collaboration or learning about your own ideas and perspective through stimulating conversations, dear Leo. You might put something behind you or move past an obstacle in a relationship. The desire to put things in order can help ground you. You’re willing to take care of details or tidy up certain areas of your life. Even so, later today, Mercury in your sign is under minor strain, and the tendency for something to burn out nearly as quickly as it starts runs very high. Avoid overexerting yourself–this applies to both the physical and mental planes! Be careful not to talk ahead of yourself.

Virgo
Virgo
Virgo
In the first half of the day, you prefer to do one thing well rather than scatter your energy, dear Virgo. Pacing yourself comes naturally. You’re recognizing the practical benefits of focusing on the future. You may be going out of your way to help someone out, and they’re very likely to appreciate your efforts. It’s an excellent time to strengthen a bond and put extra energy into resolving a complex problem. Later today, however, it can be all too easy to feel you should rush a decision or argue a point that causes more trouble than it’s worth. Feelings of pressure are real, but you won’t do yourself, or anyone, any favors if you push so hard that you can’t think clearly. Watch for speaking too quickly or too soon about a matter.

Libra
Libra
Libra
In the first half of the day, dear Libra, you’re more likely to focus on problem areas. There could be detail work to do, and it comes quite naturally for you to accept and even enjoy a more practical focus. You quite enjoy grounding yourself, and dedicating yourself to an idea can put you in the right mindset to make some worthwhile improvements. You crave more details and structures. However, as the day advances, a minor Mercury-Mars challenge could lead you to rush to communicate or draw conclusions. Tensions may center on opinions, commuting, and perspective. Minor inconveniences can leave little room to think clearly or see the big picture.

Scorpio
Scorpio
Scorpio
Work and health matters might benefit from a review or even a brainstorming session today, dear Scorpio. You’re more often giving thought to your life direction and long-term goals these days, and you can feel good about your performance now, which fires you up for creating new plans in these areas. Finding ways to add more structure to your life, even in small ways, can be comforting and practical now. Still, as the day advances, mental disconnects are possible, but opportunities to rise above these minor feelings of unrest can also emerge. You crave a connection or mission through what you do, experience, and learn. Circumstances may be such that you have more decision-making responsibility these days with Mercury at the top of your solar chart, but right now, you may be dealing with more than the usual inconveniences or with unwelcome advice and critique. It’s best to try not to take feedback too seriously if it’s delivered under strain, even if it’s contrary.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Energies in the first half of the day are excellent for boosting your motivation, dear Sagittarius. It can be a time for self-improvement by extending yourself beyond your regular routine. You see the value of focusing on the areas you can control and not worrying as much about the things you can’t. Good energy is with you for focus and concentration. You can also be an expert go-between, perhaps mediating or connecting people with information. You’re likely to feel a strong desire to help or to be of service to others with practical tasks. Bringing a little more orderliness to your life is most beneficial right now. As the day advances, it’s best not to put too much weight on statements made under stress or duress. If rushing makes you skip steps, check in with yourself to see whether you truly need to push. It’s also best not to rush a conversation that requires more thoughtfulness. Use tension to your advantage by letting it motivate you to take care of business, but avoid impulsive moves.

Capricorn
Capricorn
Capricorn
Energies in the first half of the day are good for choosing a focus and concentrating on your priorities, dear Capricorn. It would benefit you to organize an area of your life, particularly in your domestic world. This can be a time to discover practical ways to improve your living conditions. You have a desire for just a little more from a relationship or project. It’s a fine time to increase your sense of being on top of things, although you may need to deal with some level of disorganization or a feeling of being overwhelmed later today. Jumping to conclusions is not likely to serve you well, nor is mental hyperactivity. Still, it can also be a good time to solve a problem or pursue a special interest.

Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius
In the first half of the day, you can be in a strong position to come together in agreement or cooperation with someone special, dear Aquarius. Someone may very well impress you. Relationships improve with extra effort to validate one another’s input. Constructive conversations can figure strongly. It makes sense to sort out and stabilize those areas that you know you can control and organize. Orderliness, even if it’s just a little more organization than usual, can be empowering now. You may be latching onto studies, personal interests, or projects that are not only absorbing but also transform your life. It’s a time for going the extra mile for people and projects you care about. As the day advances, however, there’s some tendency to rush, misjudge, or misspeak. If a problem is out of your control, try to focus on those things you’re able to make right or take a break from overthinking before returning to problem areas.

Pisces
Pisces
Pisces
In the first half of the day, doing a bit of organizing, even in a small way, can be good for you and especially satisfying, dear Pisces. Making plans and lists or schedules can benefit you. Feeling on top of what you can control helps boost your patience through ambiguous areas. You’re finding ways to build healthy patterns in your everyday life through routines and habits, and it benefits many different areas of your life. Still, later today, transits bring stronger desires and passions to the surface, but there can be unproductive tension. A Mercury-Mars aspect can do a good job of convincing you that you need to rush when it’s likely not necessary.

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.

SAGITTARIUS STRONG

Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.

 

Today’s Elemental Balance

FIRE STRONG

The Fire signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. The element of Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.

EARTH WEAK

There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding  practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.

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: FIRST QUARTER

Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun.

We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.

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. 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).

This could be a person, a vocation, or an artistic hobby.

OPPOSITION SATURN  Orb 0°49′ 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

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

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

Sabian Symbol: Two lovers strolling through a secluded walk.

SEXTILE PLUTO  Orb 0°11′ Applying

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).
