Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

You could feel somewhat torn between wanting to collaborate and preferring to stick with what’s most comfortable and secure today, dear Aries. As such, if you can manage it, a compromise makes sense. It can be a time to make adjustments and take steps to improve your situation. Relationship opportunities and fulfillment through partnerships are in focus, and this is only set to increase in the coming weeks. Because the Moon spends the day in your resources sector, keeping things comfortable and straightforward seems to satisfy most. It’s a good idea to regroup or take time for the things that truly matter. This way, you can bring your best self to your connections and interactions.

Taurus

Today’s energy is good for seeing where you might improve your work, routines, or self-care pursuits, dear Taurus. However, there can be some adjustments to make before you feel comfortable. Your ruler, Venus, forms an awkward aspect with Uranus in your sign, and it can be challenging integrating your desire for personal independence and your need to attend to your duties or chores. The Moon spends the day in your sign, and taking the lead or taking charge comes readily as the day advances. Others are attracted to your naturally confident approach.

Gemini

You could feel edgy if you feel caged in or if people are trying to pin you down to an answer or a commitment in the first half of the day, dear Gemini. Take extra breaks or rest periods, if possible. It’s time to shake things up but do so in ways that don’t rock the boat, as it isn’t easy to get away with it right now. Recognize that you might be in reaction mode and aim to keep things real. You may need to release frustration now, and fortunately, great energy is with you for doing so. The Moon spends the day in the background of your solar chart, and its harmony with Mars in your home and family sector boosts your motivation to tap into your deeper needs and feelings.

Cancer

It’s better not to mix business and pleasure today, dear Cancer. Your heart can be in two places today, and while you want to feel safe and surround yourself with the familiar, something calls on you to move out of your comfort zone. While today can get off to an indecisive start, good energy is with you for smoothing things out as the day advances. You’re ready to make the most of a situation. Confronting a problem, rather than sidestepping it, is your best bet now. Keeping your options open can invite positive, interesting experiences, but it’s also important to honor your need for relaxation.

Leo

Tasks that require deliberate action or concentration are not likely to thrive today, dear Leo, but more metaphysical, creative, or spiritual matters can benefit from the imagination with you now. Be sure to watch for communications that don’t express what you truly feel. In addition, you could be reading too much into what others are saying. You have loads of motivation to achieve and produce today, however. Enjoy the feelings of inspiration, and don’t let impatience spoil things. Also consider that if you have too much on your plate, you may end up feeling quite hemmed in or restless.

Virgo

Transits stir you to explore and discover today, dear Virgo. The Moon spends the day in your spirit sector, encouraging you to shoot a little higher. At the same time, Venus and Uranus form an awkward angle, pitting your needs for comfort and security against these drives to discover or learn new things. Different settings or experiences can be most refreshing, although part of you can resist the urge to do something new. You may need to strike a compromise. Watch that your frustration with indecision doesn’t lead you to jump into something impulsively. Instead, aim to honor both your desire for a predictable pace and your need for a little more stimulation.

Libra

You can experience some extra sensitivity to friends’ reactions and comments today, dear Libra, and a tendency to rebel as a result! The Moon spends the day in your intimacy sector, encouraging you to dig a little more deeply in whatever activity you take on. For the most part, it’s natural to do so, but you’ve been discovering fun ways to detach or experiment these days that allow you to enjoy yourself more fully. For now, these drives seem to clash. Consider that you may be spending too much time reacting to your feelings instead of simply connecting with them. Watch for rushing a financial or intimate matter.

Scorpio

It’s not an ideal time for winning favors, dear Scorpio. Still, it’s a good time for pondering the behaviors or situations that are holding you back from going after what you want from life. The Moon aligns with Uranus in your partnership sector today, encouraging your need for interesting feedback or companionship. However, part of you needs your space and time to get to your own conclusions. With different needs and drives competing for your attention, it’s not the best time for clarity. However, you’re focusing on moving on and improving, and with this attitude, you can put problems behind you today.

Sagittarius

There can be divided feelings today, dear Sagittarius, more likely surrounding friends and acquaintances, work, or health. People could be a little withholding or detached, and you may not know where they stand. The Moon spends the day in your work and health sector, encouraging you to handle your practical affairs. It’s not easy to fit in everything you want to do since you have so much on your mind, and it makes sense to simplify. Expressing yourself with intention and enthusiasm can help cut through the fluff.

Capricorn

There can be disagreements about values or concepts of love today, dear Capricorn. Aim to do what makes you feel good from the inside out. If you are feeling overwhelmed, take steps to bring more balance in your life and ask for help. Today’s Moon reminds you of the need for light entertainment and fun, even though you’ve been enjoying working toward more serious goals these days. You seem to need that extra spark right now, even if it’s pulling you off the track temporarily. The trick may be to find a good balance.

Aquarius

The Moon in your solar fourth house all day encourages a reflective frame of mind, dear Aquarius. A hiatus can be refreshing now, but you have to allow yourself the opportunity! There can be some defensiveness or misinterpretation of social cues with Venus in awkward angle to your ruler, Uranus. Before it spirals, consider whether or not it’s better to drop something and move on. People may not be especially confident or reliable at the moment. Centering yourself now may be necessary to share yourself more freely and happily with others later.

Pisces

There can be issues that stir up feelings of anxiety or possibly even guilt today, dear Pisces, but do your best not to let these things interfere with your relationships. Issues can reach a stalemate today if both parties are not willing to listen to the other side. Today’s energies are less than ideal for agreements or balance. However, with a few adjustments, you’re likely to feel more confident. With the Moon in your solar third house all day, it’s a time for enjoying some variety or following your curiosity. While it may not be the best day for concentration, you can be productive if you put your mind to it.

Signs, Elements, Modes, & Lunar Phase

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes

Today’s Emphasized Signs of the Zodiac

TAURUS STRONG

Stable and enduring, strong values, unyielding, earthy, acquisitive, strong desires. Can be stuck, stubborn, overly possessive, self-indulgent.

VIRGO STRONG

Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.

Today’s Elemental Balance

FIRE WEAK

We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.

EARTH STRONG

Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.

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: 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 28th:

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).
