Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

With today’s Moon, dear Aries, you can be quite preoccupied with important thoughts or secrets. It’s a good time to benefit from giving yourself some emotional space. Early today, life has a way of complicating the little things, mainly by pitting your diverging interests against one another. In particular, your work, duties, and health goals can be harder to achieve with relationships distracting you. Indecision is likely. Watch today for agreeing to something to make a problem go away temporarily. It’s tempting, but remember you’re borrowing from your future. Fortunately, you may find creative ways to get work done at home, as well as to achieve more cooperation with family and co-workers.

Taurus

Work and play often don’t mesh beautifully, but early today, this is particularly the case, dear Taurus. Indecision is possible, but it’s best to avoid a divided, distracted approach. Instead, aim to put your heart into one, then the other, for the best results now. Otherwise, you might waste not only time but energy and happiness. It can be difficult to say “no” to others and to things you want now, but this, too, will pass. Fortunately, once out of limbo, it can be a strong day for creative ideas and bonding with others through pleasure and play. Ideas are rich, and cooperation comes more easily than usual.

Gemini

A good part of you wants to stick with familiar, comfortable faces and places, dear Gemini. However, another part of you wants to let go of some inhibitions and share your light with others. While you can manage both rather well on other days, it can leave you divided today. Do your best to strike a compromise, and save the bigger decisions for a more confident day. Fortunately, once you pull yourself out of overthinking, family- and home-related goals can prosper today, and ideas for making or saving money can emerge.

Cancer

Your need to reach out, connect, and mingle is strong these days, dear Cancer. Still, with Venus in your solar fourth house, some of your greatest pleasures are simple, comfortable, and familiar. Early today, you can feel a bit divided, or you could be in a vague state of dissatisfaction. Fortunately, however, the day shapes up to be quite good for taking care of business, as well as others. It’s a good time for family or interactions with people you can count on. You may be taking on a nurturing role now, and you can especially communicate your acceptance and care to others. You are also more creative and able to express your ideas in ways others appreciate more fully.

Leo

You’re paying special attention to your resources and comfort levels these days, dear Leo, with an emphasis on your solar second house. Still, Venus is moving through your communications sector, stirring a real love of branching out, diversifying, trying on new ideas, learning, and connecting. On your better days, you can manage both, but early today, you may feel a little divided. The tendency may be to overcompensate or overindulge, but do your best to find more creative ways to satisfy your varied needs. Fortunately, once you do, seeing things for their value and looking at your world with enthusiasm can be rewarding. This can be a strong time to show your care and concern or express your feelings in real, measurable ways. Healing through play, pleasure, and positivity can be in strong focus now.

Virgo

Early today, you could experience a feeling that something is missing or just a little off, dear Virgo, and you may be tempted to feed your discontent with things that you think make you happy. Watch for borrowing from your future, not just with money, but with time and energy. Look for ways to enjoy yourself without overindulging, or if you need a treat, keep it moderate, since judgment is not stellar just for now. Fortunately, once handled, you could find the day strong for reaching out. You might find taking the initiative with friends, networking, or group settings quite rewarding. Your creativity or contributions can be especially appreciated. Someone may be expressing their affection for you today. It shapes up to be a good time for cooperating and enjoying others. Later today, you could be a little more demanding than usual, but you are also giving more, which tends to balance things out.

Libra

You might often benefit from some time observing and investigating these days, dear Libra, with an emphasis on your solar twelfth house. Even so, Venus is currently transiting your sign, putting you out there quietly, but still powerfully. You are in demand and getting noticed, which tends to conflict with some of your drives. You’re creative enough to make everything work, but do watch for a tendency to appease and agree. Fortunately, once you get a handle on the indecision of early today, the day shapes up to be good for business ideas, special attention to current interests and projects, and a sense of direction.

Scorpio

The Sun and Venus are in different signs and houses of your chart, dear Scorpio, as they often are, and this usually doesn’t pose a problem. In fact, it can help you diversify. But early today, the Sun and Venus form a challenging relationship, and the different drives seem to clash. The Sun is encouraging social expression and attention to your happiness goals, while Venus is nudging you to find extra pleasure in spending time by yourself. On another day, you’re happy to do a bit of both, but today, these needs conflict, leaving you with a fear of missing out if you go in either direction. Fortunately, once beyond the indecision of this transit, you may very well find the day to be strong for furthering creative goals and ambitions. Bonding with friends can be rewarding now. You may discover rich ideas for improving your vitality or energy levels.

Sagittarius

You’re more aware of your obligations, work, and performance these days, dear Sagittarius, and home demands are also strong on you. Today, you can feel divided. This feeling can leave you indecisive. Alternatively, you might give whatever you’re doing at the moment special attention and compartmentalize, which could save your good humor. Fortunately, once over a slight feeling of discontent, you can find the day holds strong energy for business or practical matters. You can get good support and backing from others in ways that improve your career prospects or reputation. Ideas are particularly rich when it comes to sensing what people want, benefiting both intimate and professional relationships.

Capricorn

You may be finding your work and responsibilities more interesting and satisfying these days, dear Capricorn. Planning and mapping out goals is something you enjoy doing right now. Today, however, you can feel a little torn. On the one hand, duties call more insistently than usual, and on the other, you’re yearning for more life experience or a change of pace. While you can compartmentalize these things well on most days, you’re more likely to feel divided early today. Aim for a compromise, and watch out for poor choices just because you’re not sure of yourself. It’s a good time, however, to share broader ideas with someone special. You can feel quite supported when someone reinforces and understands your perspective.

Aquarius

A good part of you is enjoying throwing yourself into a project or even a relationship these days, dear Aquarius, and the more absorbing, the better. Another part of you is eager to learn or experience new things and uncomplicate your life. While you can make both work in some way on most days, you may feel torn between the two early today. It may even keep (or put) you in a state of limbo. Watch for self-soothing through overindulgence, and make sure you don’t overlook the other opportunities of the day, as this can be a rich time to make headway with organizing efforts, work, or research. You might discover that finding the information you need comes more easily than usual today.

Pisces

You enjoy balancing give and take these days, dear Pisces, and you’re inclined to want to keep the peace. You also enjoy digging deeper into projects and relationships, and you’d rather not keep up appearances if it means ignoring the more profound issues. Today, you can experience some vague discontent, but from it, you may very well discover new ideas or interests. Sharing your load with others can be rewarding today. The Moon spends much of the day in your sign before heading into your resources sector, and you’re giving special attention to your emotional needs and sense of independence.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 29th:

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).

The Moon through Pluto: Signs, Aspects, & Degrees

THE MOON IN PISCES

A time to observe, feel, and process. We may pay special attention to our dreams, both of the night and day variety, and the subtle areas of our lives.

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.

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).
