Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

The Moon spends the day in your solar eighth house, dear Aries, and you seek more depth and engrossment in your activities. However, with Mars and Neptune in opposition today, some things can hang heavily in the air, keeping you in limbo. Watch for exhausting yourself, but also the other extreme–procrastination. You may be doing a balancing act now! Fluctuating energy levels are likely about inspiration, and pausing or taking a time-out can help you regain it. If you’ve been working too hard or doing too much for others, you can feel the drain now. It’s vital to balance your life by making more time for spiritual, imaginative, and reflective activities. Otherwise, you might lose some of the motivation and spark you’ve enjoyed recently. If you have a past matter to resolve or disorganization has been an issue, remember that getting over this hurdle can be a real relief. Add some creative elements to the mix with your routines to keep motivation levels up.

Taurus

Your desire to grow is dominates now dear Taurus. You instinctively recognize that if you stick only with what’s familiar, you won’t have learning opportunities. You can be determined to connect more deeply with personal interests, hobbies, and possibly even a person. But with Mars opposite Neptune today, you might wrestle with expectations, battle waning enthusiasm, or deal with some confusion or uncertainty in your social life. Something up in the air feels heavy or drains you of energy. People may get the wrong idea, or your desires are conflicting. Because you’re more sensitive today, others’ dramas can feel larger than life. Taking a step back from the action is appropriate until you gain some perspective. Don’t let a lack of direction leave you behind. Clarifying a matter with a friend may be helpful, but patience may be necessary before this happens.

Gemini

With today’s transits, you may be flip-flopping between feeling determined and feeling uninspired, dear Gemini. These influences can also signal the need to find and connect with your passion, enthusiasm, and inspiration before pressing on. Find healthy ways to rest, escape, and renew your spirit, but keep your practical affairs from sliding too much in the process. In the meantime, getting the comfort you crave isn’t straightforward, especially if a lack of direction weighs you down. A home project or family matter can hit a snag. Whether to pursue a personal interest or a professional responsibility can be an issue instead. However, feeling less confident about your plans, goals, or ambitions is temporary. The Moon in your work and health sector today points to the need to take special care of your daily affairs, as it can comfort you.

Cancer

With Mars opposite Neptune today, dear Cancer, there can be some ambiguity to manage. This transit reminds you to pay special attention to the creative and imaginative side of your plans–it’s not the time to ignore your needs for inspiration and motivation. With Mars in your communications sector these days, you have more energy or spirit for fun projects, new interests, studies, and strong opinions. Today, you could be dealing with some confusion surrounding your communications or have difficulty shaking a comment or idea from your mind. It’s not easy to know what to believe, or you may feel temporarily uninspired about a recent project or endeavor. It’s possible you feel overwhelmed with what you need to learn or understand at this time. Keep in mind that a lack of a long-term plan can interfere with your presence of mind, or the opposite–if you’re pinning your hopes on something in the distant future, you may be missing current opportunities. Take time to reorient yourself. If you have doubts, ride them out and then make adjustments if necessary. Fortunately, the Moon in your sector of joy today encourages a playful, creative frame of mind.

Leo

With Mars opposite Neptune today, dear Leo, there can be some issues with boundaries, borrowing, or lending to manage. Or, facing up to recent excesses may be necessary. As motivated as you are for pursuing your desires these days, you may wrestle with expectations or uncertainty temporarily. Because guilt or ambiguity can drag you down and lead to wasted opportunities, do what you can to nip neglect in the bud. If you discover that you don’t have all the resources or support you had anticipated, aim to discipline yourself or tone things down just a little. You may be so passionate about moving forward on a project that you’re tempted to borrow from your future now, which may be cause for regret later on. Allowing yourself a healthy escape from the routine can be appropriate and helpful, however. The Moon in your solar fourth house all day signals a need to connect with your inner world. Ask yourself what you truly need and want.

Virgo

With a Mars-Neptune opposition today, dear Virgo, if you’re suddenly running out of steam, it likely has to do with uncertainty in the relationship department or a temporary lack of inspiration. Mars in your sign can get you going these days, often for your benefit, but sometimes it’s a little too easy to get all riled up. Today, you may find it challenging to either get in touch with what you want or to pursue your desires directly. Relying on yourself may be best at the moment! Discerning between fact and fancy can take extra time or effort with this transit in play. Finding a middle ground is the key, but can be challenging today when all the energy you’ve been feeling seems to evaporate, and you feel sluggish. You may need to let go of the desire for others to be transparent about their intentions, just for the time being, and to back down and give people space. The Moon in your communications sector all day stirs your curiosity and desire for mental stimulation. A fun project or personal interest can be a welcome distraction.

Libra

There can be ambiguous desires and situations to manage today with Mars opposite Neptune, dear Libra. Uncertainty in your daily affairs, duties, or work can be most problematic. A chaotic or uncertain work or health environment might make it hard to unwind. These issues can signal the need for new dreams or refreshed inspiration. It isn’t easy to be clear about your direction, but it’s a good idea to get things done even without this clarity. Reaching a firm decision or conclusion is unlikely, and making a big splash probably won’t go over well under these conditions. If you find yourself questioning your motivation or enthusiasm for a particular endeavor, consider ways to bring more imagination into a project to revitalize it. Look for new reasons to feel inspired. Perhaps most importantly, aim for moderation today, as errors happen when we go to extremes.

Scorpio

The day holds exciting but chaotic energy with Mars opposite Neptune, dear Scorpio. Imagination is powerful but could be over the top with this aspect dominating the day. Mixed signals can abound. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by a project, take a break–some time away can refresh you, giving you a chance to get in touch with what you truly want and need. Areas of neglect, waste, or overestimation in your life can become more apparent. Handling these things can help boost your confidence and clear your conscience. Be alert for overindulgence or a tendency to accumulate too much–these things can leave you feeling behind! Ultimately you’ll feel stronger by learning which dreams work for you and which may undermine you. You may need more self-discipline now. If a friend does a temporary disappearing act or there is some lack of clarity in a relationship, it may be better to focus on making yourself happy.

Sagittarius

Improving your domestic life or living conditions can be a priority, dear Sagittarius, even if you don’t seem to have the time. Consider that ambiguities in your living situation can leave you uncertain in other life departments. While it’s a generally good time to pursue your goals, Mars opposes Neptune today, and there can be a detour. If you’re feeling without an anchor or game plan, let this feeling redirect and reorient you in useful ways. Getting more acquainted with your needs and wants will help! Seek ways to inject more imagination into your projects or goals and deal with issues surrounding the home or family life that make you insecure or feel guilty. Another potential hurdle is waning enthusiasm, leading you to seek out new sources of inspiration if the usual ones are no longer satisfying. Even so, you may be tired or uncertain and need only a short break before hooking back into a dream, so give things a little time.

Capricorn

The Moon spends the day in your social sector, dear Capricorn, and you seek some inspiration. You may also battle feelings of restlessness or a need for change that’s hard to direct with Mars opposite Neptune pulling up areas of discontent. While this can ultimately clarify your position, confusing circumstances surround certain communications in the meantime, or you may be waiting for an answer and feel in limbo. Instead, you can be overwhelmed with a recent project or endeavor you’ve taken on. Aim to seek healthy escape routes that feed a need for fantasy, adventure, or idealistic thinking. Or, temporarily find alternate sources of enjoyment and inspiration until you regain momentum. Indeed, it can be challenging to know when to insist on facts or go with faith today, so refrain from jumping to speak or decide. While evasiveness can be frustrating, it might be better not to try to pin something down just yet. You may need to deal with some ambiguities or things you’ve previously overlooked before you can press on.

Aquarius

With a Mars-Neptune opposition in play today, dear Aquarius, you could feel a strong desire to escape, or they can be a real distraction from what you’re doing. Consider that you’re more sensitive than usual to the moods of people around you–if you’re not aware of this tendency, you can end up taking on emotions that don’t entirely belong to you! Be more vigilant with money and sharing since it’s hard to see things clearly, and boundaries can easily be crossed with Neptune in your resources sector strong and problematic today. Take care of your valuables, and consider ways to improve your life and relationships through more imagination, romance, and gentleness. It’s best to recognize if you’re sacrificing too much for others. If you’re finding yourself craving everything you don’t have, it might help to partake in grounding, centering activities that boost your appreciation of those things already in your life.

Pisces

Better relationships can be a powerful motivator for self-improvement these days, dear Pisces. With Mars opposite Neptune today, however, watch that you don’t hook yourself to something unless your heart is truly into it. If you feel overwhelmed, know that it’s temporary, and aim to take things step by step, day by day, trusting that you’ll get there! Aim to get more organized, too, since feeling on top of things helps ground you. Others may not see you correctly, or someone might be trying too hard to get you to respond. You could feel pressured by others or pushed into a corner, but if you don’t know what you want, it’s not the time to give definite answers. Your passivity or evasiveness might stir conflict today, so do what you can to clarify your position. However, avoid people-pleasing as well, as that can come back to bite you later. Find that balance!

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.

SCORPIO STRONG

Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, the power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, dramatic.

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.

AIR WEAK

We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.

Today’s Modal Balance

CARDINAL WEAK

This is not a time that we tend to naturally initiate actions. We may be stronger at following up than starting anew. Survival mechanisms may be weaker now.

FIXED STRONG

The Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. We are thinking about the long view, seeking out security and stability rather than change. We may be committed, focused, resistant to making changes, and stubborn.

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 22nd:

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).

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.

Avoid manipulative tactics, brooding, and suspiciousness.
