Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

While the intense focus on health, wellness, work, and daily routines continues, dear Aries, today’s Lunar Eclipse reminds you of the need for some quality downtime. This eclipse highlights energies that seem to pit your need for rest against chores and duties. It’s time to take a break from overthinking, and circumstances occurring now seem to demand that you get a chance to tune out. This eclipse can push troubled areas to the foreground for your attention, and it might bring a health, secret, or private matter to light. The need for extra rest, quiet, or private time becomes apparent, and better time management may be necessary now. Disruptions in your routine force you to pull yourself away from the daily grind. Your intuition or dreams have strong messages for you! With Uranus involved, a change of plans, unreliability, or a shift of interests can temporarily disrupt the flow. However, you can redirect yourself in the face of schedule changes or surprises since friction can motivate you to make changes that truly benefit you. It can be a real challenge to agree with others right now, as they can be very wrapped up in their own desire for freedom. Talking openly and honestly about issues may be energy-draining but ultimately helpful.

Taurus

Feelings are strong and guiding you today, dear Taurus, with a Lunar Eclipse in your solar eleventh house, influencing your social life, children, love affairs, group associations, and friends. Your feelings for someone, about a relationship, or about your social life, can be pivotal now, reaching a turning point. You might also have powerful realizations about your long-term happiness goals. Events may seem to be pushing you along a more authentic path. You need this background to make meaningful choices later, but it’s best to sit with your feelings for a while to reach that point. While there’s no question your emotions are engaged, you’re also pumped on a mental level. You might awaken to the need to feel valued as a friend or to align yourself with a cause, goal, or dream that motivates and drives you. A sudden awareness of feelings for someone or a buried relationship problem can emerge and demand attention. Disruptions have a way of pulling up buried frustrations, and these can be highly revealing. Without self-awareness, acting out today can lead to taking unnecessary risks or jumping into or out of something far too quickly. Ideally, if plans change now, it leads you on a pleasant detour. Nevertheless, communication may be abrupt, and tension can lead to errors.

Gemini

There continues to be a big emphasis on your sector of home, family, domestic matters, and personal foundations, dear Gemini, but today’s Lunar Eclipse asks you to attend to demands from the outside world. Responsibilities or problems that have been neglected or overlooked have a way of surfacing now for your attention. This eclipse affects how you see your life path. It can bring recognition or awards, or it may shift your general direction or career focus. It’s a persuasive prompt to sort out the delicate home-work balance in your life. There can be a feeling of urgency now, but it’s best to process your feelings before acting on them. Frustrations may only be about small problems, but they could have been building up. Avoid pushing something that you can’t change, and allow for unexpected changes that are out of your control. Keep in mind that you can temporarily in a rather exposed position, and act accordingly to protect your interests and privacy. Consider, too, that there are emotional needs for change and excitement that you may need to acknowledge. Others may not be as reliable as you’d like, or they’re put off by your own shows of independence. You could be feeling more rebellious, restless, and curious as Uranus, currently transiting your sign, is strong and challenging. Resist the urge to rebel or react abruptly, but do consider your need for a change so that you can gain some emotional refreshment. It could be helpful to minimize extras and distractions so that you can get a sense of your priorities.

Cancer

Today’s Lunar Eclipse challenges you to confront some important, perhaps previously buried, issues in your life, dear Cancer, particularly related to ideas and beliefs. It’s a powerful time for discovering your feelings on a matter, but you may need to let everything sink in before coming to definite conclusions. Taking control of your life requires time and energy, so resolve to make changes, but avoid pushing for immediate results. This eclipse generates both emotional and mental energy, but focusing it all can be challenging. Give yourself time to process any news or new information coming your way. It’s showing you where your life has fallen out of balance, and it prompts you to fit more non-routine activities into your life, reminding you to expand your skills and knowledge. Spreading the word, exploration, and discovery are in the spotlight. You may have felt very tied to your projects, desk, or neighborhood, and now you feel a stronger need to answer a call to get away, even if it is only for mental refreshment. There can be some tense moments or impatience to deal with, or you could feel in a hurry even if there isn’t an actual rush, so check in with yourself. Watch the temptation to push when this is an opportune moment to take the time to feel, learn about, and understand your desires and drives. It’s best to be open and flexible rather than rooted and resistant right now.

Leo

Building and developing projects, enjoying simple pleasures and comforts, and taking care of money and possessions have been in focus, dear Leo, with your solar second house strong. However, today’s Lunar Eclipse can signal a turning point, awareness, or epiphany surrounding financial, ownership, intimate, or sharing matters. There may be some drama with financial support, taxes, debts, investments, or a close relationship and its power dynamics now and in the weeks ahead. Instead, trust issues come to a head. New money may enter your life, or you may need to shuffle your finances to accommodate changes. Divvying up shared resources can be in focus. Projects that have less significance in your life may need to be put aside now. This eclipse brings buried or long-brewing situations to your attention, or marks a turning point, and you now want to change how you depend on others. Watch for the pressure to rush things today, as you need time to process your feelings. Emotional energy runs high, so keep your wits about you. Make important decisions later, but pay close attention to the drives and desires this energy may dig up. It’s not the best day to stick to a rigid schedule. Your patience can wear thin at times today, but you could also find the motivation to fix a problem that ultimately serves you well.

Virgo

Today’s Lunar Eclipse occurs in your opposing sign, dear Virgo, and a turning point is possible. You’re challenged to find a balance between your autonomy/independence and your need for a perspective, person, or companion. There is comfort in going your own way since it means not having to answer to someone. However, this eclipse challenges you to face your attachments, emotions, and needs for nurture, even though it’s been very much about you and where you’re heading these days! Your attention turns to the schedule or needs of a significant other or your relationship needs. This process can help balance things out, although you could feel temporarily drained or overwhelmed. In the weeks ahead, there can be increased invitations or social engagements, relationship drama, new clients, or other circumstances that get you more involved with others. A commitment might be on the table, and epiphanies about a significant relationship can lead to substantial changes. For best results, avoid over-exerting yourself on both physical and mental planes, as overdoing something now can prevent you from continuing it later. An unpredictable element to your long-term goals or expectations can interfere with the enjoyment of the moment in spots today, or you can be entertaining many different ideas, and it can be challenging to settle on any particular one. If you’re frustrated about not having a solid goal or path, you might consider focusing on small jobs with clear goals until things make more sense.

Libra

Your need to rest, reflect, and detox is stronger these days, dear Libra, but today’s Lunar Eclipse can serve as a strong nudge toward improving your health, routines, or work. You might recognize that you’ve been so caught up in personal matters that you’ve neglected some elements of self-care, and now it’s time for an epiphany that pushes you forward. It’s probably best to embrace the need to take better care of the systems in your life, including your physical well-being. Developing healthier habits can be part of this. This eclipse can prompt a sudden awareness of something that’s not working in the world of your work, daily routines, or health, or the need to make adjustments and meet deadlines. Emotional reactions are stronger than usual, but can also be highly revealing! Through a bit of chaos or disorder, you’re likely to discover new information that genuinely pushes you forward. While it’s not the best time to make serious decisions, it’s a good time to observe and connect with buried desires or frustrations that need management. In truth, there can be an inner conflict between seeking 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!

Scorpio

Emotions run high with today’s Lunar Eclipse, dear Scorpio, as it may shed new light on a friendship, romance, or a creative project. Your deeper feelings about a person or project can overcome you, and everything changes as a result! A culmination or turning point may be coming. You might decide that letting something go makes room for a rush of new creativity flowing. Changes in plans or sudden events can demand a new approach. Transits occurring around this eclipse are about shaking up the status quo, especially related to sharing, expressing yourself, and your social or romantic life. People in your life may be rebellious, defiant, or unreliable, but you might open up possibilities you might not have known existed. Epiphanies can occur about a relationship or creative direction, and they’re important. Part of you wants to join in, and another part craves the freedom of minimal ties, and finding a balance becomes necessary now. Accept surprises rather than let them discourage you, because, in the process, you might discover something entirely new and precious. Areas in your life where you have felt confined or limited may feel extra sensitive today, but instead of rebelling against what feels like pressure to conform or fit in, consider more constructive, moderate ways to reduce the tension or express your individuality now. This way, you can make empowering choices and changes.

Sagittarius

There is an emphasis on your life path, responsibilities, goals, ambitions, or career these days, dear Sagittarius. Today’s Lunar Eclipse, however, reminds you that if your responsibilities to the outside world have overshadowed your personal life, it’s time to pay your private life its due attention. Now’s the time for bringing things back into balance. There could be home repairs, family dramas, or internal changes to deal with in the weeks ahead. If you’ve been overextending yourself, find ways to get more downtime or catch up on work around the home or with loved ones. The key will be to devote quality time to family or the home. Recognizing your need for familiarity, warmth, and nurture is important now. Watch, however, for a sense that you need to rush, be first, or get something done right away, when this may not be necessary. What emerges tends to clear the path for improvements in your life, mainly related to career, reputation, status, home, and family. Aim to break out of habits that don’t serve you well and instead focus on making steady progress and improvements.

Capricorn

Today’s Lunar Eclipse occurs in your communications and transportation sector, dear Capricorn, prompting notable discoveries, ideas, and changes in your mindset or attitude. Today’s transits and this eclipse tend to shake up preconceptions, and changes in plans and schedules can alter your perspective on a matter or your view of a project or situation. Epiphanies and moments of truth can occur now, making it a powerful time to learn more about yourself. This eclipse is eye-opening and may feel a little hectic, but through a bit of chaos comes enlightenment, or at least a greater understanding of what’s most important to you. It can bring up unresolved emotional matters or buried feelings, and you may feel a strong desire to be understood, to have your say, or to express your ideas or point of view. Watch for impulsive self-expression, but give weight to your emotions and any epiphanies occurring now. Writing, learning, sharing, publicity, and promotion are themes that reach a turning point. This eclipse reminds you of connecting with your true feelings about what you’re learning, communicating, and sharing. Emotions run particularly high, but so does mental energy, and it can be a confusing mess in spots! A sudden need to handle your daily affairs, or a change of plans, can prompt a wave of activity. Watch for impatience that can lead you to trip over yourself. Uranus is strong and disruptive today, and one of its lessons is that if you stick too rigidly to a routine or plan, you may not learn a better method or something new and helpful. Aim to adapt and be flexible if plans change. Resolve to take better care of details and to be more prepared going forward.

Aquarius

A Lunar Eclipse reminds you to seek some balance, dear Aquarius. Heightened emotions around money and possessions, as well as personal values and talents, may come up, and you’re facing feelings and making changes and improvements that lead to a stronger sense of security, predictability, and safety. You might experience a significant revelation about money or business, or you could be dealing with matters related to your values, self-worth, or boundaries in a relationship. A tug-of-war may be happening with someone (or within yourself) over money, possessions, and control. Whatever emerges now can prompt a needed change. Realizations about how to better handle or manage your money may come up now. Take your time before making any pivotal decisions, but try to examine the feelings coming to the surface, however raw they may be at the moment. Take time to process your realizations. This eclipse can certainly bring revelations and possible conflicts to the foreground, but it can also be highly illuminating ultimately. You might discover that it’s best to be willing to let go of a pattern or habit holding you back so you can magnetize more positive energy into your life.

Pisces

There has been much focus on other people in your life and on making your connections stronger and happier, dear Pisces. Of course, taking better care of yourself plays a significant role in all of this, and if you’ve forgotten about it, today’s Lunar Eclipse in your sign serves as a reminder. This eclipse can lead to an emotional awakening or epiphany. You may be managing competing feelings around the need for freedom and togetherness. Emotions run high, especially surrounding a personal matter or close relationship, and even with all of the emotional excitement, you can feel drained as you see things in a new light. The result can be that you want to make significant changes, and even go through a personal reinvention of sorts, related to your sense of independence. These feelings are real, but it’s best to take your time with them. This eclipse may serve as a cosmic push to change gears in a relationship or to get in touch with your relationship needs. Your feelings on a matter can emerge powerfully. At the same time, there can be a lot of chatter, and it’s best to be careful not to let others’ noise outweigh your feelings. Do watch for a sense of urgency to take care of matters. You could feel some pressure to make a decision, but it’s best not to rush. Resolve to make your own choices rather than give in to rebellious or reactive moves.

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. 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).

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).
