Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Avoid dwelling on a problem that gets you into a negative place emotionally today, dear Aries. Doubts about your reputation or career can bear down on you subtly now, affecting your mood. Interactions with people in your life can be vaguely unsatisfying, but consider that you may not be asking the right things or expressing yourself directly. As the day advances, a Venus-Jupiter square comes into play, and it’s probably best to think twice before being extravagant. This transit can elevate the mood, but it can also exaggerate your desires and they may not last. Try not to overexert yourself and avoid stretching yourself too thin. The Moon’s move into your solar eighth house later today is good for discovering absorbing activities.

Taurus

People seem a little fragile when it comes to their egos in the first half of the day, dear Taurus. Your primary support system, family, and base of operations are in stronger focus these days, and and you more often stick close to home or with familiar things and experiences. A tug from Pluto in your adventure sector today can lead to some restlessness. You’re not entirely sure of what you want, and impatience can lead to disagreements or irritability. However, reaching a compromise between these two drives will get you out of a funk. Overindulgence could be an issue later today, but you might aim to be good to your body. Similarly, emotional judgment can be off, and it makes sense to keep your expectations reasonable.

Gemini

There can be some problems getting your message across in spots today, dear Gemini. You tend to attract appreciation for your communication style or things you’re teaching and sharing, but there can be an obsessive quality to your interactions. There can be a one-step forward, two-step backward feel to the day. An intimate relationship or your needs and desires may be dividing your attention now, making it difficult to concentrate on the tasks at hand. It may be best to defer important decisions if possible. Consider that you could be dealing with old jealousies or exaggeration. Take what’s communicated with a grain of salt and aim to weed out gossip and fluff.

Cancer

Comforting and familiar activities boost your mood with the Moon in your home and family sector much of the day, dear Cancer. Later today, however, the Moon heads into your joy sector, and the desire to enjoy and express yourself dominates. Today’s transits are a little picky, however. Your values and opinions seem at odds with others, and a good strategy is to keep some emotional distance from people who are annoying you. While focusing on the less essential things may not seem productive, priorities will be easier to see down the road. Money can be a tricky topic, and large purchases made now can be a potential money pit since judgment is a bit off. Your mind wanders, and distractions are likely. Do your best to relax and tame restlessness with healthy, happy activities.

Leo

Watch for subtle battles of domination today, dear Leo, as they tend to lead you nowhere. The environment around you may change in small but irritating ways, forcing you to adjust or adapt. You might feel hesitance and wrestle with self-doubt, even though you’ve been generally very confident these days. The past seems to pull you in now, or you could be suspicious of someone, tainting some of your interactions. Complicated feelings emerge pretty suddenly, or there can be a veto to a plan. Consider that waiting things out might benefit you most, as the refinements you make now might help you in the long run. Socially, avoid turning to others to find your own happiness. A friendly debate today can become a major event, and while you can feel tempted to do and say more, keeping within reasonable boundaries is best.

Virgo

The Moon in your steady solar second house much of the day encourages you to pace yourself, dear Virgo, and it’s enjoyable! Later today, your curiosity grows, and you’re more interested in diversifying. Still, it’s a day when small hurdles are likely to present themselves. In truth, delays or hesitancy may be blessings in disguise as they allow you to get things back on track or make adjustments that improve your life. The desire to withdraw or keep to yourself can be at odds with what others want or expect of you. Alternatively, it may be a little voice in your head that reminds you that you need to take a risk or two creatively or socially so that you can grow and improve. You’re entitled to days when you hesitate or second-guess things, as long as it’s not so frequent that you miss out. Patience is required if you want someone to see your perspective.

Libra

With today’s minor Sun-Pluto challenge, dear Libra, it can be hard to take a step back and allow others space when feeling insecure. However, it’s essential to let go from time to time. Your social side is generally enlivened and awakened, but today, you may be hesitant, unsure if you want to mingle or experiment. Insecurities can come to the fore, and some doubts or concerns can prevent you from interacting naturally. You can experience uncertainty, ambivalence, or an overactive mind that never lets you rest. Productivity today depends on whether you can focus on one thing at a time. If the atmosphere is chaotic, important details could be missed. Power games with a friend will lead nowhere right now, but a serious talk will be necessary later. Choose entertaining, imaginative activities today, and avoid dwelling on problem areas for the best results.

Scorpio

The Moon spends a good part of the day in your privacy sector, dear Scorpio, and you keep a lower profile. Later today, the Moon moves into your sign, and you come out of your shell. Still, today’s energies aren’t ideal for clarity or a sense of moving forward. Making a stand on a matter can somehow backfire, or you second-guess your perceptions. There can be some weaving about, which is not your favorite style of communication. Big ideas are exciting now, but because you’re not yet in the position to see what’s genuinely doable, it makes sense to save fleshing out details for a more organized, cautious time. Going a little overboard can be a nice change of pace, but taming urges somewhat for the important things makes sense.

Sagittarius

The Moon spends a good part of the day in your friends and idealism sector, dear Sagittarius, and you want to let in the positive energy. Even so, perceptions are a little murky with today’s transits, and you may feel in limbo as a result. Circumstances are such that you may have to choose between playing things safe or going out on a limb. Do your best not to dwell on what you don’t know about a situation because that’s where you’re inclined to trip up today. Trust that what you need to know will be revealed in time. Ask yourself whether something you’re craving now will benefit you later, or whether it might cause regret. It’s not easy to take others’ advice right now, so try to keep yourself in a position to manage your own resources. You may keep certain things to yourself if you’d rather not receive unsolicited advice. The Moon’s move into your privacy sector later today signals a desire or need to lay low, unwind, and decompress.

Capricorn

The Moon spends a good part of the day in your performance sector, reminding you to attend to your practical priorities, dear Capricorn. Later today, you seek to let go of responsibilities temporarily so that you can detox and decompress with the Moon’s move into your social sector. Still, today’s Sun-Pluto minor challenging aspect can incline you to notice the little problems in your life, and there’s some tendency to worry. Avoid overanalyzing or finding problems where there are none. You can feel a little out of step, as if you can’t quite read a person or situation. It may be best to cut yourself some slack, making your biggest project yourself and your needs temporarily, if possible. Needs you’ve neglected deserve extra attention.

Aquarius

The Moon spends a good part of the day in your solar ninth house, dear Aquarius, and your free spirit is in full swing. Later today, the Moon’s move to the top of your solar chart reminds you of your longer-term goals or reputation. With a Sun-Pluto aspect in play today, uncomfortable material from the past can emerge, or you could be uncertain about your next step, particularly in a relationship. There can be internal unrest, and you can feel that circumstances or people are getting in your way, but you might also consider whether your own attitudes are also limiting your progress. Aim to enjoy yourself, but take it easy with money and pleasurable pursuits.

Pisces

Today’s Sun-Pluto aspect can stir up underlying tensions or resentment, dear Pisces. You may need to let go of the tendency to keep watch over your social life if it arises. This way, you can put more of yourself into self-care. The Moon continues in your solar eighth house for a good part of the day, keeping you undercover and focused on your inner world. But by later today, your focus turns outward. The Moon’s move into your spirit sector awakens a need to explore, discover, and move on. Watch for promising too much or taking on more than you can handle in this good mood. Overstating your feelings can cause a problem for your future self.

Today’s Transits (Eastern Daylight Time)

Date & Time: Aug 21 2023 7:21 pm

Event: Moon enters Scorpio

Description: The Moon in Scorpio

Contemplate the deeper things in life. Avoid unnecessary conflict, but if it’s going to improve your life, go ahead and make waves. Tune in to your intuition. This is a good time for investigations, looking into a matter further, doing research, connecting to others with a shared passion, solving a mystery, and devising a strategy. When the Moon in Scorpio is strained, we may take our passions too far.

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: CRESCENT

Moon 45 to 90 degrees ahead of the Sun.

This is an eager, impulsive, and progressive time. We are motivated and ready to take on challenges.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 21st:

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).
