Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

With Saturn in your sign, dear Aries, today’s Saturn challenges can feel rather personal. Venus in your partnership sector these days can stir a stronger need for companionship, approval, or support from others in your life, but these drives seem to clash with your recent tendency to go it alone or to handle problem areas your own way. Instead, you may find a partner appears childish or carefree as you take on far too many burdens. Avoid criticizing or withholding. Trying to restrict others isn’t the way to go right now, but you may need space to attend to your responsibilities. People may be getting in your way or demanding attention that you’d rather direct towards more practical tasks. Try not to take yourself too seriously today. Fortunately, it can be a refreshing day for you on mental levels, and you may discover a new channel for communicating. You may be mediating or advising right now. The design elements of a creative project are appealing.

Taurus

A Venus-Saturn opposition today can point to managing a reality check, dear Taurus. If your heart isn’t in what you’re doing, you can feel under the weather. Mental and physical health are often linked, and especially so right now, quite possibly in a disruptive way. Delays might temporarily pull you away from the things you enjoy most doing. Past mistakes or unfinished business may surface, and you may need to handle a duty before moving on. Aim to recognize when you need to let something go or make changes in existing projects if it helps you move forward lighter and happier. It may be necessary to deal with your responsibilities, and in fact, they can seem inescapable right now, but don’t overburden yourself, either. Fortunately, deep thinking sessions and conversations are excellent for finding solutions, coming to agreements, and enjoying clarity today.

Gemini

A Venus-Saturn opposition today can serve to highlight tensions or relationship problems, dear Gemini. As excited as you may be about your leisure time or creative or romantic pursuit, responsibilities and delays can enter the picture, which can be time-consuming. Love matters can be disappointing, or you could come to an epiphany about a past relationship. Superficiality and social niceties can be particularly annoying now, and you may do better if you take some space for yourself for now. If there are criticisms to deal with, they’re frustrating, but they might also motivate you to firm things up to your advantage. It’s possible that you only need to get practical matters out of the way before getting back into the game. Let a growing sense of freedom after you turn a corner guide you. Aim to examine burdens or fears that prevent you from loosening up. Fortunately, good energy is with you for being an arbiter, as you seem to instinctively know how to bring others together harmoniously right now. Thinking, conversing, and solving problems with a generally cool head can be a theme as the day advances.

Cancer

Today’s Saturn challenges can point to a need to firm up your plans, dear Cancer, while also taking care of spiritual needs. Circumstances might remind you that while home and family life tend to be where your heart is at the moment, you also need to take care of business. Responsibilities or problems neglected or overlooked in the past have a way of surfacing for immediate attention! Aim to stick with your priorities and avoid worrying too much about what others think. Even so, criticism can lead to important improvements, so don’t shut it out altogether. A balance is important now, but if people criticize more than support, aim to make yourself happy first and foremost. Stick with your priorities, but be honest with yourself about what may need revision. Fortunately, your excellent long-term vision is prominent now, and conversations can lead to important discoveries. You have a healing touch with others, helping them make sense of recent problems or obstacles.

Leo

With today’s Venus-Saturn opposition lying across your communications and transportation axis, dear Leo, you may turn your attention to a delay or the need to make a change or revision that consumes your time. A helpful strategy is to pay closer attention to the details of your pursuits or do your homework, get the job done, and avoid others’ unhelpful opinions. It may not be easy, but prioritizing makes sense. Be a little more careful about what you communicate today. It’s also important to consider that others are more sensitive to limits than usual. You may have trouble getting your message across, but it’s temporary. Fortunately, you can be particularly successful working through recent problems or difficulties. Focusing on the bigger picture helps you frame things in a new and even comforting way.

Virgo

With Venus opposite Saturn today, dear Virgo, there can be a realization or responsibility that temporarily puts a damper on your plans or spirits. A disagreement about money or resources is possible, or you might feel blocked or opposed by limits to your freedom to seek pleasure, make a purchase, or pursue a particular goal. If an epiphany comes now, look at your discovery from a practical angle, and detach as much as possible. It may be better to know where you stand than to nurse an illusion that will eventually expose itself as unreal. With today’s Mercury-Pallas energy, and especially once past the Venus-Saturn energy, you’re in a good position for practical thinking and problem-solving. You more readily see patterns.

Libra

With Venus in your sign opposite Saturn today, dear Libra, you might feel blocked or limited. Something reminds you of responsibilities that get in the way of your personal goals. With this transit in play, you might view someone in your life as unnecessarily strict or unyielding. Recognize your own need for structure and rules in your relationships, and meet others halfway for best results now. If duty and pleasure seem to be at odds, you may need to strike a compromise. You could experience a setback, delay, or responsibility that keeps you from pursuing what you want, making compromise and objectivity especially important now in your dealings with others. Fortunately, a recent problem can appear resolvable after a conversation or a look at the bigger picture. You’ll have the most success getting through to others if you draw heavily on your powers of reasoning and compromise.

Scorpio

With a bit of tension in your solar chart along your health and wellness axis today, dear Scorpio, you’re strongly reminded of the need to attend to duties and responsibilities. This can temporarily deflate or demotivate you, but you’re quick to pick yourself up. You might feel inhibited or see others as a bit standoffish or cool, but try not to take it too personally. Criticism is possible and likely over the top, but if it’s even a fraction true, it can lead to meaningful improvements. Priorities make themselves clear today! A project can ramp up and demand more of you now, but you’ll put in the extra effort if it’s worth your time. Restructuring may be in order. Fortunately, today you may feel like you’ve overcome an obstacle that seemed difficult, but now feels considerably more manageable.

Sagittarius

With a Venus-Saturn opposition today, dear Sagittarius, you may find it challenging to juggle your responsibilities and desires. Conflicting feelings may arise in your social or love life. Try not to focus too much on whether someone is letting you down. Instead, give your responsibilities and duties their due attention so you can pursue your pleasures later with less guilt or distraction. Certainly, a project may suddenly seem more demanding than it once did, but if it’s worth your time, then you’ll put in the extra effort. You’re seeking things that will take you away from the routine, or at least ideas or concepts that excite you mentally. Fortunately, there’s fair-minded energy in the air now, and you’re inclined to see the bigger picture, especially as the day advances.

Capricorn

There can be a hurdle to clear today, dear Capricorn, with Venus opposite Saturn. You may become aware of duties or delays that prevent you from pursuing your plans or professional pursuits. As much as you can be enjoying your work more than usual these days with Venus at the top of your chart, home life or personal matters may need extra attention now. In some cases, there can be a disappointment or reality check to deal with. Responsibilities need your attention now, and you’ll feel better once you do take care of your priorities, after which you can come back to your pleasures and seek them more heartily. Whatever emerges now, it can get you into a more empowered position. It’s a time to put the work in. Try not to expect immediate rewards. Fortunately, today’s strength is in working through problems by identifying patterns, and applying some logic to a tricky situation is quite helpful.

Aquarius

With today’s Saturn challenges, dear Aquarius, there can be an obstacle to manage. You could be dealing with critical or insensitive people, or you can be grappling with a disagreement or delay. Responsibilities in your daily affairs, errands, and other duties and tasks may increase or become more apparent. Watch for fixating on something you think you want, only to discover it’s not the answer to your questions. Instead, channel your attention into fixing problems so you can move on. Keep in mind that as irritating as criticism or negative feedback can be, it might also motivate you to make improvements. You may need to put in extra work to get your duties out of the way, but you’ll be in a much better place once you do. Still, creative work can thrive with reasonable ideas, and you might reach a good perspective on romantic connections today.

Pisces

With Venus opposite Saturn across your sharing sectors today, dear Pisces, a financial constraint or disagreement may emerge. Keep in mind that the extra work you put into fixing mistakes can make a big difference in your future success. Fears about money or security may be triggered, but facing an important reality and adapting to it can improve your life. Don’t let delays discourage you, as they often come at important times, allowing you the chance to make valuable edits. An obligation, debt, or error may need your attention and can be frustrating, but fixing it can be empowering. Fortunately, good energy is with you for work projects, health programs, and daily duties today. Whatever new information has emerged, you’re ready to tackle it and process things.

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

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 21st:

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).

You need to develop your own value system and develop compassion for yourself and other people.

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.

Original and inventive ideas may spring to life.

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).
