Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

You’re learning much about the world around you, dear Aries, determined to step out of your comfort zone and gather new experiences that open your eyes further. Still, a focus on the past now seems important before you move forward. Reviewing old ideas today can bring new methods to light. You might find yourself in problem-solving mode. Watch for overthinking creative and romantic matters, however. You do need to review and backtrack in these areas, but it’s not as urgent as you might imagine right now. There can be openness in your communications or a breakthrough in a project or learning endeavor. At the same time, the Sun is turning more and more of your attention to your work, duties, and routines, and the practical side of your life is firmly on your mind now.

Taurus

Practical pursuits thrive now, dear Taurus, although with Mercury’s retrograde, there may be some waiting or editing to do before you can push plans forward. Even so, you get the sense that you can make improvements that will impact your life, and it’s about working hard and being patient. The desire to revise and renew is strong. You can also have satisfying conversations and interactions today. Your enthusiasm is strong, and that helps you get caught up in the moment. You feel terrific about yourself if you are feeling efficient today. You’re likely to be especially reasonable and objective in any discussion that ensues now. You tend to analyze or go over the past, particularly about or with family. What others say can nevertheless touch you deeply today. Money can come in from unexpected or forgotten sources, or somebody could return an item you had given up on.

Gemini

You can make good progress today, especially with studies, errands, and communications, dear Gemini. Still, be cautious when making formal statements or commitments, as these can be more impactful but error-prone. You can apply yourself once you get motivated today. You can be determined to work on the attitudes that have been holding you back from presenting your best to others. Sharing ideas with others is fruitful, although extra sensitivity may be necessary when it comes to choosing your words. There can be helpful conversations about the past or previously tricky topics. You can be mentally busy. While not everything is moving as swiftly as you’d like, pouring extra energy into a special project can be especially satisfying and successful.

Cancer

You’re more able to talk about practical matters and develop real solutions to problems today, dear Cancer. The key is approaching old issues from a new angle or perspective. Conversations about money can be very beneficial, particularly if you are going over past ideas and endeavors. With retrograde Mercury in generally good shape today, you’re gathering, processing, reviewing, and recycling information. You’re ready to improvise, and your ideas are particularly enterprising. Your initiative is stronger than usual, and interactions can be passionate and energetic today. A spirit of openness emerges, and it can open doors to you for self-expression. With the Sun now transiting your sector of communication, it comes as a nice jumpstart.

Leo

With retrograde Mercury in your sign and busy today, dear Leo, some introspection can be beneficial now. Watch for overthinking today, but lean in to the opportunities to enjoy interesting ideas and perspectives. You’re inclined to separate from your affections and feelings when making a decision. But while some inward focus is good now, there is a spirit of openness and friendly energy in the air that inspires positive thinking. Goals that involve creating and sharing can be furthered. You can gain respect for your intelligence and unique energy now, and it’s a good time to find the information you need and enjoy energizing interactions with others. There is more energy in your conversations and information exchanges. At the same time, people may be particularly interested in what you have to say.

Virgo

The Sun is now in your sign, dear Virgo, and you’re more outgoing or confident. However, today’s retrograde Mercury connections also encourage a look at your private world or a turning to the past for analysis. You might pull out an old project or cherished possession and work on improving it. A private matter or secret might reveal itself, or you speak of a personal, private issue, confiding in someone. Interactions can be passionate and energetic, and it can be a busy day for thinking and fantasizing. You are bringing new energy to matters of the past and looking at things from a different perspective. You are more inclined to examine old matters for answers these days, but while the tendency is to do so analytically, you may benefit a lot more if you engage your feelings.

Libra

There is some tendency to overthink things today, dear Libra, particularly related to your social life, networks, and friendships. Try not to let this go too far. You may need to remind yourself to be tactful if being forthright, as this can extend to conversations. Still, you can be quite enthusiastic about a plan, topic, or idea. Do watch for impatience, but consider gently pushing your usual boundaries now. It’s an especially good time for cultivating and enhancing old connections. It’s a day in which the mind figures more strongly than the heart. You’re focused on and revering or glamorizing the past, remembering the good times. This is an important day for processing and recycling ideas. Connecting with a partner creatively can occur, and there can be quite a bit of intrigue and mutual interest.

Scorpio

There is some tendency to overthink your long-term plans today, dear Scorpio, and possibly to fret over things that are not under your control. For the best results, don’t let this overpower your gut feelings or overshadow your emotional needs. In fact, you have strong opportunities to strengthen ties and find peace with your past today, or at least a new understanding of a long-term issue, especially if you commit to avoiding too much analysis. Panning out or taking a step back can help. You’re observing others and learning more about their motivations. Recycling old ideas can lead to great discoveries and new methods. There can be a lot of talk about the past but with new energy and a different perspective.

Sagittarius

There can be some tendency for mental nervousness today, dear Sagittarius. Try to avoid overthinking and aim to connect with what you want to do so that you can factor your heart in as well. You may be looking to feel vital through your experiences with others. While there can be some problems with misunderstandings, your good cheer and optimism can help strengthen close relationships. Ideas that come to you intuitively today can be significant. You’re thinking about ways to expand your life experience beyond the routine, and you can be very excited about your prospects, new insights, and mind-expanding theories today. Sharing ideas with or about a partner can be in focus.

Capricorn

Today’s transits fire you up mentally, dear Capricorn. Watch for overthinking to the point that you ignore what you feel about a matter. There are better times for hard and fast decision-making. However, it’s a great time to approach things a little differently, especially if you pace yourself. With your work or daily routines, you seem to bring added energy and zip to your approach or methods. Productivity increases when you’re enjoying what you are doing, and this is especially evident today. You might come to a new understanding of a topic or problem, and going over or talking about a personal issue can figure strongly. It might be a review of past relationships or financial matters. You might be investigating someone, or someone could be looking into your past. Fortunately, you have more courage to do something different, creative, and unique. Motivation runs high to reorganize your life in meaningful ways.

Aquarius

It’s a good idea to avoid living too much in the head today when relating to others, dear Aquarius. The tendency is to separate from your feelings when connecting or communicating, which can lead to some confusion or mixed messages. Nevertheless, your stronger desires and passions are stirring, especially through your exchanges and conversations. There can be extra sizzle in a love relationship or your creative world. You have more persuasive power and verbal punch, so be careful with that. You might receive some news about a social event or close relationship, and the emphasis is on looking at the past differently. You might also enjoy a complicated but illuminating conversation with or about a partner.

Pisces

The tendency to overthink is sometimes high today, dear Pisces. You might aim to handle problems before they take over, but give yourself frequent breaks if possible. It’s not easy to make the right choices or decisions without all the information you need. Still, there is good energy for home-related activities and mental enthusiasm. You can be deeply motivated to put your thoughts into order and to be effective and useful in your communications. You’re inclined to approach a problem from a new angle, which can be very helpful. Do watch, however, for making erroneous statements, as you’re unlikely to get away with much right now, and the tendency is to be hasty! A practical mindset and positive outlook can take over, and you can find that applying yourself to problems, even if you’re not yet resolving them, can be enjoyable.

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

MUTABLE STRONG

The Mutable signs are Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, and Virgo. We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.

Today’s Lunar Phase

LUNAR PHASE: DISSEMINATING

Moon 135 to 90 degrees behind the Sun.

Sharing our knowledge with the world is a major motivation at this stage. We believe we have gained much knowledge and wisdom through our experiences, and want to ensure others have the benefit as well.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 23rd:

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).

QUINCUNX NEPTUNE Orb 1°44′ Separating

Dreaming, creating, and imagining have better results than hard decision making right now. There can be a temporary loss/lack of clarity. We can be questoning whether what we are doing or pursuing feeds our spiritual needs. Make adjustments if there is a discrepancy.

However, we can also push ourselves to reach a little further than we usually do, particularly on a social level.

You have an inability to trust and show your love for other people. This probably stems from childhood experiences with your parents. You may have felt unworthy of your parents’ love.

(1934 – 1942) We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn how to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge. We’re less inhibited about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. We’re challenging what we previously valued. There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. We’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money are likely. Income and the energy we put into making money can be variable. (May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, then March 6, 2019, to July 7, 2025, and then November 7, 2025, to April 25, 2026).

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).
