Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

The Sun and Mercury in your solar sixth house these days encourage your focus on work and health or practical concerns, dear Aries. Today, you can feel torn between attention to your chores and your social life or personal goals. A breather may be in order today and tomorrow. You may feel a little demotivated or uncertain just for now, and this is simply a sign that there are more angles to consider before moving on. If you haven’t paid enough attention to your emotional needs and goals, it’s time to catch up. Stepping aside could be better than confronting or challenging for now, giving you the chance to observe and redirect your plans or energy if needed. You may need to let go of the tendency to keep watch over your social life if it arises. This way, you can put more of yourself into self-care.

Taurus

Today’s energies are generally better for rest and reflection than for innovation, dear Taurus. If you feel overwhelmed, consider stripping things back a little, but also aim for balance. Your energy may dip temporarily, but it’s a good idea to slow down a bit. While you may feel a little confused, this is a time to see different angles of a situation and adjust your plans if needed. Avoid too-high expectations today. There may be some doubts that need clearing up, and it’s a process that you can’t and shouldn’t push. Today’s minor challenging aspects don’t bring clarity, but they produce a small amount of discontent that stirs you to make important changes. There might also be a disconnect, and some intense feelings can be hard to understand. You could have your career or responsibilities competing for your time. Learn to tune out negative distractions and focus on what truly matters for improvement, but stay open to areas that need work.

Gemini

While the Moon in your spirit sector all day feels fresh, dear Gemini, the day’s energies are better for biding your time. Your focus tends to diffuse. It may not be easy to do what you want because people who need help or support are taking priority. Instead, uncertainties in your social life or with a project can leave you feeling a little unsettled in spots today. Aim to avoid taking on new projects or commitments so that you don’t overload yourself. Aim to be patient and accept a roundabout way of getting where you want to go, or wait for a better time to pursue your goals more directly. The Sun and Mercury are encouraging you to settle in, nest, and get comfortable. As they clash with other drives today and tomorrow, it’s best to make adjustments that allow you to round out your experiences even with your comfort needs prioritized. Your need for security can seem at odds with a sense that you have to grow, evolve, and expose yourself to new ideas and experiences. You could be sensitive to a lack of support, and decisions aren’t straightforward temporarily, as alternatives leave you fearing you’ll miss out. Aim to have a little more faith in your intuition, but if you can’t get in touch with it right now, which is possible with today’s many distractions, aim to wait and see.

Cancer

People tend to come to you quite naturally for support and advice right now, dear Cancer. Organize and categorize today so you have what you need later to make a more informed decision. The need to branch out, diversify, and grow may nag at you in spots today, however. A relationship or your needs and desires may be dividing your attention now, making it difficult to concentrate on the tasks at hand. Overthinking can complicate things, and suspicion may throw you off track. The Sun and Mercury are encouraging your attention to the lighter side of life these days, but right now, these drives clash with your desire for more meaning and attraction to deeper connections and projects. It may not seem easy, but finding a better balance is possible if you set your mind to the task. Nevertheless, today’s energies are a little too murky for big moves. Instead, it’s a time to slow down and process, digest, and enjoy yourself. In fact, problem areas emerging now can ultimately motivate you to make substantial changes that benefit you. Today, it may be best to defer important decisions and purchases if possible.

Leo

Very different drives compete for your attention today, dear Leo, and this can be exhausting in spots. You may need to make adjustments if you sense something is a little off. You may also be more sensitive than usual, and you may need rest or special attention to overlooked needs. Watch for seeing problems where they don’t exist. If your emotions and reactions seem inappropriate for the situation, it’s time to look within. Try not to let whims blur your judgment today. Partnership demands seem to run counter to your work on a personal level or with money matters, and you may need to consciously set aside time to handle your affairs. It’s not the best day for feeling reinforced and appreciated. However, processing or digesting can be useful and good for you right now. You may take a step forward and then a step back, so staying flexible is essential.

Virgo

Today’s energies are less than ideal for clarity or a sense of moving forward, dear Virgo. Little hurdles you face now can force small changes and refinements that will help you in the long run. You could find that making a stand on a matter can somehow backfire, or you second-guess your perceptions. There can be some weaving about. Subtle problems today tend to stem from fear, jealousy, or resentment, and they may seem to come out of nowhere. While they’re manageable, they could lead to some off timing. It’s better to tackle things one step at a time instead of pushing today, since it may be hard to fit in everything you want to do. Slowing down, making adjustments, and imagining possibilities may be better than pursuing your interests directly right now. If you feel somewhat vulnerable or low, or temporarily demotivated, consider sleeping on your ideas and waiting for confidence to return. This way, you’ll get the chance to consider more angles.

Libra

There can be tricky energy with you today for relationships, dear Libra, as you can find yourself at cross-purposes with someone. It may not seem enough to warrant confronting an issue, or there can be a vague feeling of being a bit off. You might worry about a past poor choice or mistake. The trick may be to avoid juggling too many ideas at once. You may also need to manage your ambitious side that feels you can’t let go of your watch over a project or a relationship. Solutions to problems are more likely to arrive if you aren’t obsessing over them. Watch for confusion or vagueness with others. You may feel a little out of step, unsure if you want time to yourself or companionship. Aim to rest, digest, and process a bit more before moving forward.

Scorpio

The Sun and Mercury are in your social sector, dear Scorpio, encouraging you to experiment, reach out beyond your usual boundaries, and connect with information and others. Today, you may feel a bit torn between different drives, leaving you sitting on the fence. Sticking with comfortable settings and situations may be your better bet temporarily. Dilemmas and choices might force a good “think session” that helps you see your priorities. Still, a temporary dip in energy is possible, and it may be better to go with the flow or wait and see rather than insist on a solid plan. If something’s unnecessary, then give yourself a break. Social interactions or issues can get in the way of your duties and vice versa. Distractions are plenty, or you are more sensitive to them. It may not be easy to know where you stand with others temporarily, but worrying about their opinions can be too draining. While there can be some underlying tension or resentment to handle today, the adjustments you make because of it can be vastly helpful later.

Sagittarius

Today’s minor challenging aspects can complicate feelings and perceptions temporarily, dear Sagittarius. Career matters, responsibilities, or structure and order can be stronger draws these days with the Sun and Mercury in your solar tenth house. Today, your attention to personal interests, daily affairs, and personal life can compete. You may want to do it all when you don’t have the time or the energy. Underlying tensions or resentment can emerge. You’re probably better off nurturing your imagination than seeking definite answers. As much as you’d like to move your plans or goals forward, some uncertainty can slow things down, which can be a good thing. Strive for objectivity before making any substantial commitments, or delay them for a better time. Exchanging pleasantries and enjoying the flow, rather than focusing on the outcome, is likely preferable right now.

Capricorn

The Sun and Mercury transiting your spirit sector encourage spontaneity and exploration, dear Capricorn. However, they’re clashing with Neptune and Pluto right now, and you can feel a little torn or temporarily demotivated. It can be difficult to balance responsibility and pleasure, as it may involve cutting out some activities or toning things down, but it’s likely for the best right now. Plans may not be coming together today, but it’s likely only a small speed bump. Trying to force a resolution is unlikely to work, but pulling back might do the trick. The gap between your wishes and reality may seem more prominent than usual, but don’t waste time on discouragement. Instead, give yourself time. Do your best not to dwell on what you don’t know about a situation because that’s where you’re inclined to trip up today. Trust that what you need to know will be revealed in time.

Aquarius

Today’s transits favor improving existing resources rather than beginning new endeavors, dear Aquarius. Making adjustments and taking a step back to observe may be appropriate. There’s a tendency to feel a bit out of the loop temporarily. Be selective about where you direct your energy, and rest or strengthen yourself instead of pushing something that isn’t ready to move. You can benefit from looking back at old relationship matters and emotional issues and how they may be affecting you now. Deep thinking can be productive, but it can be tricky to get to the heart of a matter right now. You’re sensitive at the moment and may not be ready to learn all about a situation. If you’re uncertain about a matter, it may be better not to express a definite opinion under current conditions.

Pisces

Today, it can be important to slow down just a little to make sure you’re getting things right, dear Pisces. If you find it hard to concentrate, you may need to step back from a situation to see it better if you’re patient enough to wait for it. Waiting something out may help you see the light. Oversharing can also lead to mistakes right now. The Sun and Mercury are encouraging your social, involved side these days, but today your need for time to reflect or be independent seems to compete with these drives. Feeling a bit deflated is temporary and may signal that you need a break or timeout. Promises and plans formed today may go by the wayside later, so rather than committing, it may be best to put things on hold until you figure them out. The important thing is that you’re stretching your mind and entertaining new ideas. Seek ways to balance and manage your life without undermining your happiness.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 26th:

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).

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.

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).
