Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

The Sun moves into your work and health sector today, dear Aries, for a stay of a month, bringing a theme of taking care of business to your life. Until September 22nd, 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 them. It’s a fine time of year for building, tweaking, and organizing your work in meaningful ways. Today, you could be reassessing some of your interests or passions before moving ahead. It may be best to aim to appreciate simple pleasures and comforts rather than give in to the feeling that you need more to be happy.

Taurus

There’s a tendency to question some of your attachments today, dear Taurus, especially if they seem to be keeping you stuck or stagnant. A bit of reassessment can be good for you right now. The Sun heads into your romance and leisure sector today, encouraging you to have some fun as well! The Sun visits this area of your solar chart until September 22nd, and it’s a month-long, expressive, creative cycle that encourages you to invest in more playtime. It’s a show-and-tell house in your chart, so expressing your talents, abilities, and affections comes naturally in the period ahead. A stronger urge is with you to create, show others what you can do, experience and enjoy romance, and more fully enjoy life’s pleasures.

Gemini

A strong desire to put something behind you can lead to a hands-on approach to problem-solving right now, dear Gemini. There could be some frustration with communications, and circumstances may be such that you question a learning path or interest. If your life has become too busy with inconsequential things, you’ll be feeling that now as the Sun meets the South Node. Aim to look at a frustrating situation by taking a step back and seeing what has been blocking you. Later today, the Sun heads into your solar fourth house for a visit that will continue until September 22nd. You’re taking more pride and interest in your domestic life, family, foundation, or closest ties now. In many ways, this is a time to anchor or nest on a psychological level. It’s not the most adventurous or outgoing cycle in the Sun’s journey through your solar chart, but it’s a powerful period for gaining a stronger sense of self.

Cancer

The Sun heads into your communications sector today, dear Cancer, and will visit until September 22nd. The month ahead is likely to be busy, with you more engaged with others but not always focused. You’re taking more pride and interest in your personal environment, communications, and interactions with others, making it an excellent time to make improvements to these things. Studies or personal interests can grab your attention now. This cycle is more about discovery and branching out than specializing. It’s a strong time for communicating, connecting, learning, and sharing. Today, circumstances may make it clear you need to let go of certain possessions or even attitudes toward business and money matters to move forward. Decluttering can be important and even empowering now.

Leo

Today, as much as you’d like to, it’s not easy to get motivated and get going on something independently, dear Leo. Perhaps the best way to handle this is to use extra energy to offer others help rather than wait for something to happen. There could be a bit of a blow to the ego if you are pushing too hard for your own agenda. The need to pay some homage to a partnership or partner may arise. Ideally, you discover creative ways to fulfill both your need to feel attached to something and your desire to branch out. Later today, the Sun ends its yearly transit of your sign, and you’re symbolically moving on. You’re likely to find the new Sun cycle, lasting until September 22nd, very grounding, and you should use this energy to focus on being more emotionally present in various areas of your life. This can also be a time for making the most of your natural talents and abilities. Opportunities may arise that have you taking charge of your income and valuables, although you’re most likely creating them in the month ahead.

Virgo

You might be reassessing a particular service or support you give others today, dear Virgo. There can be some tendency to seek the easy way out, but with special attention to this inclination and some mindfulness, you could very well learn where your heart is. Also today, the Sun enters your sign, beginning a month-long cycle ahead when you’re especially noticeable and feel more in charge and capable. If you’ve been considering changes to the personal image you project, this is a superb time to do so. You have increased personal presence now. Make the most of this period by being positive and believing in yourself, as this is the start of a new solar year. As more attention comes your way until September 22nd, you quite naturally want to get your act together. You are more readily attracting what you need into your life now.

Libra

There’s some tendency to analyze a friendship or connection to a group today, dear Libra, especially in terms of whether it’s allowing you to move forward and grow. You might need to swallow your pride for the sake of a relationship that you want to keep. Also today, the Sun enters your solar twelfth house, where it will transit until September 22nd. This yearly, month-long cycle is strong for reflection, rest, and recollection. You are gathering your strength for busier times to come, but this isn’t an idle time. In fact, you can actively reflect upon recent events and shed attitudes and situations that have run their natural course. It can be a time to connect with your more spiritual side, but you could also sometimes feel a little lost, unnoticed, or ignored until you understand the purpose of this period: recharge. This is a clean-up period on emotional or psychic levels, so aim to use it well!

Scorpio

While the mood is pleasant today, dear Scorpio, there is a tendency towards excess that you’d be wise to tame. You might question a particular project, plan, long-term goal, or even your current career path if you’re uncertain it’s genuinely doing you any favors. There may be the need to swallow your pride just for now, as it may be the best course of action. Also today, the Sun moves into your solar eleventh house for a stay of a month, until September 22nd, encouraging more interaction with friends, teams, groups, networks, or the community. Your interest in what makes you happy and how you fit in with others or contribute to the group increases in the weeks ahead. The focus is on collaboration and cooperation. This is a time when participating in some way can be satisfying, and when putting ego needs to the side in favor of group efforts can be helpful. This is a good period for building up momentum and inspiration.

Sagittarius

You could be questioning certain beliefs, learning paths, or interests today, dear Sagittarius. You may need to take a slight blow to your ego over an opinion to grow and come into your own. In truth, it can bring you to a stronger position. It makes sense to consider whether your current projects and beliefs are benefiting and representing you. You’re regaining motivation and enthusiasm these days, and it’s best to build on authenticity. Also today, the Sun heads to the top of your solar chart for a stay in your performance sector until September 22nd. What you do and how you perform are in focus in this cycle. New responsibilities may arise during this period, or you may feel more ambitious and focused on achievement and goal-setting.

Capricorn

Circumstances may be such that you consider letting go of a bad habit, dear Capricorn, or you may face the need to make adjustments before pushing forward, possibly finance-related ones. The Sun begins its transit of your sector of adventure and spirit today, and will continue to influence this area of your solar chart until September 22nd. It’s an excellent cycle in which to lift yourself above your usual routines, even in little ways, so that you can better consider the bigger picture. You are more adventurous and curious. You might do more studying, learning, and venturing out and about in the weeks ahead. Your aspirations and ideals are stronger driving forces in your life now.

Aquarius

The need to make adjustments and take steps to improve your situation can arise now, dear Aquarius. Socially, you might be questioning elements of a relationship in terms of whether or not it’s supporting your personal growth. Avoid taking on responsibilities that others should be handling themselves, or watch for relying too heavily on others when you’d be better off getting things done independently. Nevertheless, you are likely to feel needed today, and you readily lend others support. The Sun begins its transit of your intimacy sector today and will continue to influence this area of your chart until September 22nd. This time of year can bring self-transformation into focus as you seek to grow and evolve. There can be an increased determination to improve your life from the inside out now, and there can be changes both of the internal and external variety to prove it. The spotlight can be on intimate connections and sharing, or financial and emotional support. You’re drawn to a relationship or project that motivates you and that you can explore in depth or connect with on a deeper level.

Pisces

The Sun begins its transit of your partnership sector today, dear Pisces, and will continue to influence this area of your chart until September 22nd. You are drawn to others during this cycle, and a spotlight may fall 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 tend to serve you best. Today, you may be questioning some of the things you do for work or in service to others. You may be better off slimming down your duties to focus on the most important ones.

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 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).

The Moon through Pluto: Signs, Aspects, & Degrees

Part of Body: Renal arteries

Sabian Symbol: A boat landing washed away.

ASPECTS OF VENUS

OPPOSITION SATURN Orb 1°04′ Separating

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

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.

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.

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).
