Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

The Sun heads into your work and health sector today, dear Aries, where it will visit until September 22nd. During this month-long cycle, the spotlight is on work, service, health, daily affairs, and personal habits or routines. You’re taking more pride and interest in these things so that you’re likely to want to improve these life departments. It can be a time to get organized, go green, find time for exercise, read up on ways to improve your health, and prioritize work projects. Pay special attention to details, as it’s a strong time for managing them and solving problems. On this day before a New Moon, however, take a lighter schedule if possible and find peaceful activities to enjoy. This lunation will bring new beginnings and fresh energy to your routines. New plans and projects are on the horizon. Today, reflect on what you’d like to change but put plans into action later, when new information is bound to emerge.

Taurus

The Moon heads into your romance and leisure sector today, dear Taurus, and it will visit this area of your solar chart until September 22nd. This is a month-long cycle that encourages you to invest in more playtime and boost creativity and expression. It’s a show-and-tell house of your chart, so that expressing your talents, abilities, and affections comes naturally in the weeks ahead. A stronger urge is with you to create, show others what you can do, experience and enjoy romance, and enjoy more of life’s pleasures. Shortly after the day’s end, a New Moon will bring a nice boost of new energy for romance, children, creativity, and entertainment. It’s a time to take charge of these areas of your life by making improvements that help restore balance. You need quality leisure time and channels for creative self-expression. Ideas for enjoying life’s more playful moments can come to you in a rush, or opportunities can suddenly appear, ready to grab. Even if your life seems crammed with things to do, you need to learn to make the most of the time you do have for enjoying yourself. Today, take the time to reflect and finish up projects that may interfere with your New Moon goals.

Gemini

Today, the Sun is at the lowest point of your solar chart, dear Gemini, and a month-long transit of your solar fourth house begins. During this cycle that lasts until September 22nd, potent reminders of your roots, home life, and loved ones motivate you. Your life more often centers around your closest ties, foundation, support system, or home life. It’s a time for bringing healing, wholeness, and some refinement and organization to your domestic world and family relationships. It’s a natural time for anchoring and nesting on a psychological level. It’s certainly not the most adventurous or outgoing cycle in the Sun’s journey through your chart, but it’s important for a sense of identity, comfort, and self-knowledge. New ways of approaching and improving these matters are on the horizon with a New Moon about to take place. Avoid making critical decisions for a few days — save them for when you’re more objective. However, use the energy of this lunation for motivation to take charge of your personal life.

Cancer

The Sun moves into your communications sector today, dear Cancer, where it will visit for a month, until September 22nd. This is a busy, engaged period of the year for you! It’s a time when you’re more aware of what needs repairing, healing, and improving in your personal environment, communications, and interactions with others. You may be looking to subjects of study or topics of interest as ways to expand your knowledge or feed your curiosity, but also as means to define yourself more completely. With a New Moon occurring in your solar third house shortly into the day tomorrow, new energy is coming for connecting, communicating, and learning. Ideas can fill your head, but so can too much information, so watch for overdoing things now. Some of your ideas will take and others may not, but don’t worry about the difference between the two just yet, as there’s no rush. The Moon is Balsamic today, suggesting that it’s a good time for reflection rather than taking action on new things. It’s an ideal time to bring something to completion or to end a bad habit, however.

Leo

The Sun finishes its yearly, month-long transit of your sign today, dear Leo, and begins its transit of your resources sector, where it will visit until September 22nd. You’ll find that this cycle is an especially grounding one. It would benefit you to increase activities that remind you of the importance and beauty of the “here and now”. It’s also a time to make the most of your natural talents and abilities — for building and developing these things. You may be motivated to take charge of your personal finances and exercise extra care with your valuables. With a New Moon occurring in your second house shortly into tomorrow, you receive wonderful energy for improving your finances and attending to your personal possessions over the coming days and weeks. This can be the start of something very special! Avoid all-new endeavors today, before the New Moon, as it’s better to finish or end things with the waning Moon.

Virgo

The Sun enters your sign today, dear Virgo, and will continue its visit until September 22nd, signaling a time when you’re especially noticeable and effective. If you’ve wanted to make changes to the personal image you project, then this is a superb time for doing so. It’s also a time for more impact and personal presence. Make the most of this period by being positive and believing in yourself, as this is the start of a new solar year. Early tomorrow, a New Moon will occur in your sign, and in a month’s time, a Solar Eclipse will occur in Virgo, reinforcing new beginnings and personal changes. The Moon is Balsamic today, and this phase of the Moon turns us inward for valuable lessons. If you need to let go of a bad attitude or habit, now is a good time to do so. It’s even more important for you to take stock because tomorrow’s New Moon is in your sign. This is also the end of a yearly solar cycle. Your attitude going into this cycle can help shape the year ahead, so do what you can to get into a proper headspace. The upcoming period is about reshaping your image if it needs some tweaks. Today is excellent for seeing what fears may have been holding you back from pursuing your dreams.

Libra

Today, the Sun begins its transit of the most private, tucked-away sector of your solar chart, dear Libra, and will continue to visit until September 22nd. This begins a natural cycle emphasizing the need to look back, reflect, and reconsider before you move forward with personal plans. Goals may not be clear or may need refinement. You may be bringing some matters to a close. Decision-making is generally a slower process now, as you’re not as impulsive, confident, or sure about what you’re ready, able, and willing to do. This is a period for a tidy-up on an emotional, spiritual, or mental level. This cycle draws you to reflection, meditation, and a general break from competitive, materialistic, or excessively demanding pursuits. A New Moon occurs tomorrow and is bound to direct you well in your quest for answers. After the New Moon, you may be particularly motivated to put an end to unfinished business and to get closure on matters that have left you wondering. On this day before a New Moon, it’s important not to jump into something new.

Scorpio

Your goals, hopes, ideals, and wishes are illuminated with the Sun moving into your solar eleventh house today, dear Scorpio, where it will transit until September 22nd. It’s a time for free thinking, sharing, connecting, networking, and openness. You shine the brightest during this cycle when you are teaming up with others working towards goals you believe in, when you share your expertise with others, and when you listen to others’ input. You might coordinate or facilitate a group during this cycle. You’re also planting some seeds in the form of ideas for the future. The focus now is on others, but also on how you connect with the group. A New Moon will occur early tomorrow, and what’s happening around the time of this lunation helps pave the way for personal changes and new beginnings. There can be new friends or associations with groups and people who share some similar interests or a common goal, or new beginnings with existing connections. Today, before the New Moon, think and process rather than push yourself ahead with all-new endeavors. You are moving in a new direction with less concern about your performance and status and more interest in your personal happiness and the people around you.

Sagittarius

The Sun begins its transit of your solar tenth house today, dear Sagittarius, where it will visit until September 22nd. What you do and how you perform are in focus in this cycle. You might take on new responsibilities during this period, or you may feel more ambitious and focused on achievement or goal-setting. You’re becoming more aware of your impact on the world, what you contribute, and how others perceive your value. If you desire to move up a notch in your professional life, the New Moon occurring shortly after the end of today can give you a boost. Even if you’re happy in your position as it stands, there are always some tweaks that you can make to improve your professional and public life, and these can be most successful in the coming days and weeks. New projects and goals, and possibly even a new area of focus on the job, may emerge. Enter these with healthy confidence, not over-confidence. Take the time to plan and act rather than react. You have more impact on others than usual, so use this time in the spotlight well. Today, before the New Moon, it’s better to think about what needs to end or attitudes that should be left behind rather than beginning all-new endeavors.

Capricorn

The Sun enters your sector of adventure and spirit today, dear Capricorn, and it will spend the next month in this area of your solar chart (until September 22nd). This cycle is excellent for spirited, spontaneous activities as well as activities that help you promote, share, explore, and discover. Moving out of your routine from time to time is important during this cycle so that you can get a sense of the bigger picture. This can be a good time for doing more studying, learning, and venturing out and about. Tomorrow’s New Moon will help you rise above small problems in the coming weeks. Because the Moon is Balsamic today, this is a time for letting go rather than revving up, however. Pay attention to random feelings and thoughts today, as this is a time for self-improvement through extending yourself beyond your regular routine. The New Moon tomorrow may point you in a new direction along these lines.

Aquarius

The Sun begins its transit of your solar eighth house today, dear Aquarius, and will continue to influence this area of your chart until September 22nd. It’s the time of year when you’re inclined to go through some form of self-transformation. For example, you can be determined to get rid of a bad habit or self-defeating attitude so that you gain more personal power and a stronger sense of personal accomplishment. Changes, both inner and outer, occur now that remind you that you’re growing. There can be an increased focus on intimate connections, sharing, and financial or emotional support are important topics in your life now. A New Moon will occur early tomorrow, and its dynamic energy is sure to shift your interests, attention, and primary focus. It’s better to reflect than to take action right now during this transition. It’s an “old” Moon, and just as the Moon is dark in the sky, you may not be seeing your next move just yet. Aim to find your emotional center and listen to your heart.

Pisces

The Sun begins its transit of your partnership sector today, dear Pisces, and will visit this area of your solar chart until September 22nd. You are drawn to others during this cycle, and there can be a spotlight on close friendships and partnerships. You can learn a lot about yourself and your life through others now, as they can provide a mirror to certain aspects of yourself that you haven’t been clearly seeing until now. This is a time when compromise and negotiation serve you best. We’re heading to a New Moon (occurring very early tomorrow) that should bring a charge of energy for a new partnership or committing to a new way of enhancing a current relationship. Remember, however, that emotions are heightened today and tomorrow with the energy of the lunation, and inclinations are excessive. Acting impulsively today is not advised, but anything that is revealed in the heat of the moment should be given full attention in the next few days. Take in now, and take action when it feels right. Consider ways to improve, enhance, and enjoy current relationships.

Today’s Lunar Phase

LUNAR PHASE: BALSAMIC

Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.

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. 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).

(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.

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.

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).
