Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

The New Moon early today occurs in your solar sixth house, dear Aries, and it provides you with take-charge, forward-looking energy, especially for your work, services, health, and habits. It sets the stage for new beginnings or a fresh approach in these areas. You can be highly motivated to launch new work projects and personal health or fitness programs in the weeks ahead. The desire to take better care of yourself or to do your personal best comes on strong. Organizing and improving your daily routines can be satisfying. New priorities and tasks to manage can figure strongly. Still, transits today can stir some restlessness and rile you up. A change of plans, unreliability, or a shift of interests that feels a bit disruptive can be themes. It’s how you redirect yourself in the face of conflict or schedule changes that matters most, however. In truth, friction can motivate you to make changes that truly benefit you. Still, it can be challenging to come together in agreement with others temporarily, as people may be too wrapped up in their own needs and wants, particularly as they relate to freedom and individuality. If someone’s pushing your buttons, keep a cool head.

Taurus

The New Moon early today can prompt you to express your feelings or do more creating, romancing, enjoying, and entertaining, dear Taurus. There can be doors opening, new beginnings, or restarts along creative or romantic lines in the weeks ahead. A boost of energy can jumpstart joyful activities or experiences. Quality leisure time and channels for expressing yourself might emerge. Ideas for enjoying life’s more playful moments can come to you in a rush, or opportunities can suddenly appear, ready to grab. However, you must avoid going over budget in the process, cautioned by Uranus in your house of financial resources in a difficult aspect to the New Moon. Balance and moderation are essential. Today and tomorrow’s Sun transits challenge you to break out of a rut or pattern that’s prevented you from growing and changing. However, watch for unnecessary conflicts, and aim to be mindful. If you act without self-awareness, you may be taking risks, overpaying, or jumping into (or out of) something too quickly! It’s also possible that uncertainty about your income or feelings of security can interfere with your desire to have fun. Or, you may want to break free from old ways of doing things, but are unsure about going ahead. Disruptions have a way of pulling up buried frustrations, and these can be highly revealing.

Gemini

The New Moon early today brings fresh energy into your life for personal and domestic pursuits, dear Gemini. Consider this lunation a push to reconnect with yourself — to check in with your feelings and comfort levels before pressing forward. A new start with family, home life, or living conditions and arrangements is possible in the weeks ahead. Today and tomorrow, Sun transits can leave you feeling rebellious, restless, and curious. Resist the urge to rebel or react abruptly if your plans aren’t coming together as quickly and efficiently as you’d hoped. Honor your need for a change of scene, then come back fresh. Resist the urge to rebel or jump into or out of situations without forethought. Eliminating extras and distractions to get a sense of your priorities makes the most sense today. There can be times when your inner rebel gets in the way of the calm and peace you seek, and today, this can be obvious! You might seek ways to combine or answer both of your very valid needs for independence and comfort. Try to identify those things that could steer you off course.

Cancer

The New Moon early today motivates you to improve your daily life, personal interests, and communications, dear Cancer. It’s a great time to think about your goals and resolutions in these areas. In the days ahead, you’ll have new energy for making valuable and happy connections and improving your skills. Your curiosity is at a peak, and your desire to express yourself and communicate with others is also strong and building. New avenues for sharing or getting around can open for you. It’s time to put out feelers, take in new ideas and information, and be open to the need for more intellectual stimulation. However, watch for taking on so many activities or commitments that you feel overwhelmed. Anything that limits you will meet your resistance today! You might also feel especially excited to move past a previous restriction. Sun transits today and tomorrow can produce some tension. While possibly disruptive, things can also be a little more interesting! You may feel torn between playing it safe and making a change, or whether your words could stir up conflict or controversy. A part of you may want to break free from confining patterns and secrets, which can be at the root of impulsive communications now. On some level, it may be a way of getting something out of your system. On the bright side, schedule changes may lead to new and exciting connections.

Leo

The New Moon early today sets the stage for new beginnings in the weeks ahead, dear Leo, and a Solar Eclipse next month will have more to add. You’ll be approaching your finances from a new, refreshed perspective, making it a good time to explore money-making ideas or find improved ways to manage your money, valuables, and possessions. It’s also an excellent time to plan and organize your practical affairs. Today, you might make some resolutions related to business, finances, and boosting your sense of security. Aim to receive and enjoy new ideas and sort them out patiently as you go along. Sun transits today and tomorrow bring some unpredictable energy or surprise elements, and you’re a little more inclined to act from a place of emotion than from a place of reason. In truth, something that you’ve been sitting on may need to come out, and this can be a good thing, but it may be better to tone things down or choose a better time to do so. If you don’t recognize a need for changes to how you connect with others, circumstances may conspire to prove the point to you! Your patience can wear thin at times, but you could also find the motivation to fix a problem that ultimately serves you well.

Virgo

The New Moon early today occurs in your sign, dear Virgo, signaling a personal new beginning or a sense that you have a new lease on life. In the coming days, you’ll feel more power to make changes and steer your life where you want it to go. You might change the way you greet the world if this can benefit you. You are more noticeable and dynamic than usual, and people appreciate you, often turning to you for your input. New ideas, topics, or experiences can be part of your fresh start. You’re more noticeable and “out there,” and it’s a good time to ride this energy well. With today’s Sun aspects, you may need to manage some unpredictability in your career or with long-term goals that interfere with enjoying the moment. There can be surprises related to rules, reputation, or responsibilities. If you’re feeling frustrated about not having a clear goal or path, consider focusing on small, manageable tasks with clear objectives until things make more sense. Watch for provocative behavior that doesn’t help your case now. Something needs to change, and it’s best to identify what it is rather than let change happen to you. If you can’t find the source, consider taking steps to reduce stress, such as through exercise or constructive activities.

Libra

The New Moon early today inspires a strong need for rest and replenishment, dear Libra. Spiritual needs and mental health are now becoming your priorities. In the coming days, you’ll take charge of personal and private matters that need your attention. Or, you might give more time to a person in need or an important cause. Buried and neglected issues can demand your attention. If you’ve been burying your psychic or emotional needs, it’s a time that compels you to acknowledge and attend to them. Certainly, your need for psychic space, time out, or some form of retreat is often dominant now. Still, today’s transits can challenge your need to relax and unwind. Uranus in your solar ninth house contributes to a desire to expand, grow, learn, and connect. While these urges are important, they stand in contrast to the quieter, healing activities you seek. In truth, there can be an inner conflict between seeking out new experiences and getting time to process recent ones. Finding a way to balance all that you want to do and what you feel you should do for better physical and mental health can be difficult, but it is what you need at the moment! Keep in mind that you’ll do nothing well if you don’t refresh yourself. It makes sense to confront aspects of yourself or past choices that are blocking your current success.

Scorpio

The New Moon early today ushers in new energy and a fresh start with a friendship or your social life, dear Scorpio. New goals, dreams, and plans to look forward to and enjoy can emerge now and in the week ahead. You see your contributions or “place” with others in a new light. You might discover a new interest or project close to your heart. This lunation can help reinvigorate your social life, communications, or your feeling of connectedness with others and hopes for the future. Still, an impending Sun-Uranus square reminds you what needs improving in your life. You might deal with conflicting feelings for a person or project and be touchy in areas where you’ve felt confined or limited. Opening your mind to potential disruptions seems the best strategy now. Instead of rebelling against what feels like pressure to conform or to fit in, consider more constructive, moderate ways to reduce the tension or express your individuality. This way, you make empowering choices and improvements. Changing your methods and pulling yourself out of the usual patterns can be just what you need if you feel unfulfilled.

Sagittarius

The New Moon early today encourages forward-looking, take-charge energy, dear Sagittarius, especially for your professional or public life. There may be new responsibilities, recognition, or a new position or project on the horizon. There may be a need to follow the rules or straighten out an area of your life, and this can fill you with a sense of purpose. It can be a time of helpful tweaks to improve your reputation or focus. Aim to take the time to plan and act rather than react. You have more impact on others than usual, so aim to use this time in the spotlight well. This is especially important with a Sun-Uranus square triggering or distracting you right now. Relationships or your social life can be a strong draw and could interfere with your work or even your reputation. With the Sun at the top of your solar chart, it’s wise to prioritize your work and goals. Today, it can be helpful to identify areas of your life that require a change or a new approach instead of falling back on the same behaviors that keep frustrating patterns alive. If someone is giving you space when you’d prefer to be close, let it happen, and then take the time to examine what it is you want and need carefully. Don’t allow yourself to be at the beck and call of someone who doesn’t return the favor.

Capricorn

The New Moon occurring early today can serve as a motivating influence, dear Capricorn. Activities that take you out of your routine can be particularly beneficial in the days and the week ahead. Publishing, sharing ideas, and learning new things can be exceptionally favorable, leading to new beginnings and a breath of fresh air. People gravitate to you and your ideas. Your spirit to explore, grow, and expand beyond the ordinary experiences in your life is powerful now. A Sun-Uranus square is occurring around this New Moon, and it can bring some surprises and stir a bit of discontent. However, at the heart of restlessness can be a need for a change of pace. Because you may not learn a better method if you stick too rigidly to a routine or plan, a change now can nudge you in a new direction. Aim to adapt and be as flexible as possible if there are new plans. Still, a lack of organization can hinder your broader goals, and you might resolve to be more prepared next time. If you need more independence and freedom in your work or daily affairs, aim to look into ways to make this happen, but avoid rushing in the meantime.

Aquarius

The New Moon occurring early today can open doors to following a passion in the weeks ahead, dear Aquarius. It can also spark a strong interest in learning about your needs, motivations, and deeper desires, empowering you to make significant lifestyle or psychological changes. It’s time to turn over a new leaf! This New Moon occurs in your sector of intimacy and sharing, and you might aim to rid yourself of burdens or share their weight. You might discover new ways to connect with a partner, pay off debts, get a loan, or seek emotional support. Take your time on this, however. It’s too soon to go hard with these things, so make plans. A Sun-Uranus square can stir some restlessness or leave you feeling torn or divided. Consider that one of the lessons of Uranus is to be willing to let go of a pattern or habit that’s holding us back. This way, we end up magnetizing more positive energy into our lives. With the Sun in your solar eighth house, you’re seeking more than the ordinary from your activities and perhaps a little more from the people in your life. On the other hand, with Uranus in your fifth house, your approach may be playful, making it hard for others to know that you may be looking for more. Aim to make your own choices rather than merely reacting to situations.

Pisces

The New Moon early today clears the way for new beginnings, dear Pisces, and it stirs your desire to head in a fresh new direction, especially related to close relationships and partnerships. It can point to a new or renewed connection in your life, or it can be about fresh negotiations and a stronger feeling for what you want from–and can bring to–a relationship. You are in an excellent position to team up with someone, boost a current partnership, benefit from counseling or consultations, and open up two-way conversations. It’s also a fine time to take steps to improve your connections or find ways to bring more balance, harmony, and beauty into your life, in general. Today’s transits can stir up some restlessness, but they can also motivate you to make valuable improvements. Resolve to make your own choices rather than give in to rebellious or reactive moves for the best results. With Uranus in a clashing aspect to your sign these days, you can sometimes feel resistant or in a place where you can’t see your need for small personal changes or a change of pace. Taking steps to move out of your comfort zone is the path that empowers you, although it doesn’t always feel intuitive. Today, changes of plans or schedules may temporarily throw you off balance, but they can also lead to rewarding experiences. It may not be easy to satisfy an itch, especially if you’re not entirely sure of its origin, but it can help if you look for something to update and improve.

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. 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).

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. Therefore the interpretation of Neptune in the Sign applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation look at the house position. This generation have the potential to be spiritual pioneers. They take risks in exploring the mystical realms. This generation may also boast many pioneers in the arts.

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).
