Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Mercury turns retrograde today and will remain retrograde until the 28th, dear Aries. This cycle begins in your work and health sector and ends in your romance and creativity house, affecting projects, thoughts, and activities related to these life departments. Some inconveniences, slowdowns, delays, or turnarounds may occur during this cycle, but these can lead to significant improvements and edits down the road. You may be taking a second look at a previous health issue or discovering the need to rework a project, task, or job. Redoing work that you previously thought was completed may be required now. While it may not be an ideal time for finding new work, it’s suitable for attention to work in progress and renewing old projects. Be as transparent as possible with others, especially those with whom you share your day, as misunderstandings and delays that result from them are more likely to occur now. It’s an excellent time for researching health and nutrition programs, job skills, and opportunities. The refinements you make now will be very valuable later. Today’s Venus-Pluto transit gives you further reason to wait before making impactful decisions, as you’re not all in. You need time to process and understand.

Taurus

Mercury begins its retrograde today, dear Taurus, and will continue in retrograde motion until the 28th. It starts in a sign that’s harmonious to yours, which is helpful, but there can nevertheless be some inconveniences, turnarounds, or delays related to romance, creative projects, and finances. You may need to revisit old problems or wait for an answer to a question that keeps you in limbo. Fortunately, this can also be a great chance to catch up in other areas of life and to rethink matters. There may be the need to revisit old issues with someone special, and some communication problems could be at the heart of it. People from the past tend to come back or become a mental or emotional focus. It’s probably not the best time to launch a new creative project, but it’s a good time for reworking an existing one. Same goes for romance! Slow down and attend to those things you’ve passed over in haste. This is a time to find new ways to express yourself! Later in the cycle, there will be a focus on home matters, but for now, take things slowly. Be more mindful of what you say today and tomorrow, especially, as this shift occurs.

Gemini

Mercury begins its retrograde journey today, dear Gemini, and while it will continue until the 28th, it begins in your domestic sector but heads back into your communication sector on the 14th. This can serve to sway your thinking and change your mind about past decisions as it affords you the opportunity to see things from a different perspective. At first, you may feel inconvenienced as delays or misunderstandings seem to happen more frequently than usual. However, these can open your mind to new ways of expressing yourself and can alert you to problem areas that need revision, review, and editing. Think in terms of evaluation and development rather than pushing something entirely new. Mercury is your ruler, and during this cycle, you may have some problems with clarity and decision-making. You may want to put off major decision-making regarding new endeavors in home improvement, moving, and family matters just for the time being until you have everything sorted. However, this is a good cycle in which to re-organize your home or rethink living arrangements. Today’s energies point to a shift of mental focus.

Cancer

Mercury begins its retrograde cycle today, dear Cancer, and you’ll be reviewing your options or rethinking plans until the 28th. Because this retrograde begins in your solar third house, you’ll be rethinking matters related to learning, communicating, transportation, and making contacts or connections. You might experience some delays due to misunderstood communications, transportation problems or repairs, and possibly technological difficulties. Learning matters may not go exactly as expected, but speed bumps encountered now are unlikely to be serious ones, merely inconvenient. In fact, because of them, you might discover new and improved ways of making your connections, ways that you may not have considered otherwise. It would be wise to double-check your work and communications before submitting or sending them off and to allow extra time to make it to appointments, as some forgetfulness is possible. However, it’s a good time for journaling and reworking studies and projects. You might enjoy renewing or recycling old ideas and interests. Today’s Venus-Pluto transit reinforces that today is a shift day. Aim to wait and see.

Leo

In the coming weeks, it’s best to bring more sensitivity to your communications, dear Leo. Mercury begins its retrograde journey in your solar second house, and you may encounter the need to review financial affairs, income, and budgets. This is preferable to throwing yourself into new commitments or agreements that may lose their appeal or glamor later. There can be a change of mind or interest, possibly even a bit of regret regarding what’s said or begun now and in recent days. Some money-making ideas or ventures may go on hold due to circumstances beyond your control. However, this can prompt you to find new ways of doing things that work wonders for you. Later, Mercury will return to your sign on the 14th, where it will transit for the remainder of the retrograde until the 28th. Come at old problems from a new direction or perspective. Today’s Venus-Pluto transit is somewhat awkward, reinforcing the need to take your time before drawing conclusions.

Virgo

Mercury, the planet of communications, has been in your sign since July 25th, amplifying your voice, dear Virgo. However, as Mercury turns retrograde today, it may seem like life is slowing down or even backtracking in the coming weeks (until August 28th). While retrograde and in your sign for part of the cycle (until the 14th), you might feel a bit misunderstood, so it’s important to be extra clear in your communications. Career matters may need a second look. Decision-making turns inward during this cycle, and intuition often reigns over pure logic. You are viewing the world through different filters, and you’re likely to uncover some profound inner revelations as a result. It may be challenging to communicate them under this influence, but that’s okay for now. This is a time of heightened spiritual awareness that favors meditation, reworking old plans, and reviewing past work. While today may bring some confusion and small inconveniences, remember that patience is key. You’ll grow more accustomed to the shift as you go along, and things will become clearer in time.

Libra

Mercury stations and turns retrograde today, dear Libra. During this cycle that lasts until the 28th, problems may crop up more frequently, and there can be some inconvenient delays or turnarounds. Trusting your instincts may not be as straightforward as usual, and you may be looking back more than you are looking forward. Past mistakes can crop up for your attention. You may also experience some interruptions or a state of limbo on legal, publishing, travel, or educational matters since Mercury rules your solar ninth house. Your thinking is more spiritual and less factual, which can be a clear asset if applied to the right things. You can quite easily put your foot in your mouth, however, or reveal something that you’d prefer to remain hidden. It’s a good cycle for redoing and refining work already underway, for journaling, and for backtracking over the past to find answers. Minor breaks in the mechanical aspects of communication can reconnect you to other perfectly valid means of communication. In other words, certain delays can be blessings in disguise now! Today’s Venus-Pluto transit can contribute to indecision now, making it better to reserve judgment for a clearer time.

Scorpio

Mercury turns retrograde in your social sector today, dear Scorpio, and will continue to move in this apparent backward motion until August 28th. However, it will only spend until the 14th in your sector of friendships and happiness goals and retreat into your career sector for the remainder of its retrograde. Friendships may involve some backtracking or slow-downs during this time. There can also be the need to review debts and obligations or to reassess a relationship since Mercury rules your solar eighth house. You’d be wise to be more alert than usual when it comes to dealings with friends and groups, as well as business income and interactions with business associates. It’s possible you connect with an old friend during this cycle. Some of the seeds you recently planted regarding long-term goals will likely need review or revision. Fortunately, this is an excellent period for looking back and seeing things differently. Today is potentially a little disorienting at times not only due to this shift, but also because of a minor challenging aspect between Venus and Pluto, your ruler. It’s not easy to arrive at solid conclusions, so take your time when making decisions.

Sagittarius

Mercury begins its retrograde cycle today, dear Sagittarius, and it will last until the 28th. It’s a fine period for catching up by slowing down some areas of your life that have become too rushed! Initially, you may see this slowing down as annoying and inconvenient before adjusting to the shift and recognizing its merits. Until the 14th, the retrograde occurs in your career and reputation sector, and you might experience some delays or confusion regarding goals, career choices, and business projects, or this might relate to your reputation. Past matters and tasks can be rehashed or recirculated. While it’s a good time for refining long-term goals and career projects, there can be some confusion surrounding business plans or communications. Keep in mind that information received or perceived today may be a little skewed or incomplete. Overall, however, retrograde Mercury cycles hold excellent potential for refining current projects and doing some rethinking that benefits you tremendously. Today, with the shift occurring and a Venus-Pluto transit, aim to observe and reorient yourself rather than push ahead.

Capricorn

Mercury’s retrograde turn today might bring some confusing moments or mental fuzziness, dear Capricorn. However, the retrograde cycle itself, lasting until August 28th, allows you to view past decisions and projects with new eyes. There can be inconveniences and slowdowns that may be blessings in disguise as you turn your attention to problems you didn’t know existed, but that, when corrected, help you tremendously. Delayed travel or publishing, redos, and turnarounds can be in play. Work projects may need some review, and health matters might require some backtracking before pushing ahead. Take special care when presenting ideas, writing letters and emails, and detail work. You may not see the whole picture, but you might also find a new way of looking at a matter that produces creative results. With today’s Venus-Pluto transit, consider that concerns about money or issues of respect can temporarily impair judgment.

Aquarius

With Mercury turning retrograde today, dear Aquarius, people can give off the wrong signals or interpret things the wrong way. However, the retrograde cycle, lasting until August 28th, offers you opportunities, not only delays. Aim to take extra time to arrive at important decisions or put particularly perplexing problems on hold. Rethink your financial situation, particularly dependencies on alternate sources of income. There may be delays with support, forcing you to get creative with money, for example. For the first part of this retrograde period (until the 14th), it occurs in your solar eighth house, and you can find yourself backtracking with shared finances, intimate relationships, and matters of trust. This is a time of introspection and review in a general sense. It’s a good time to reassess joint finances and debts. You may find yourself frequently turning to the past to understand the present, and this rumination can be particularly useful. After the 14th, your one-to-one relationships are most affected.

Pisces

Mercury begins its retrograde period today, dear Pisces. This retrograde cycle lasts until August 28th, and it begins in your partnership sector. Rethinking or returning to old discussions in a close relationship can be in focus, but it can also point to delays and turnarounds related to family, home life, and later, work matters. You might look back to the past in some manner, whether this is about rehashing old topics or revisiting a previous connection. Some of the things you recently started or communicated might need some touching up. It’s an excellent time to revise, review, and reorganize as you see things you may have missed because you were going too fast or too busy to notice the first time around. Communications can be muddled today and tomorrow, but delays can help you better understand your situation. Consider that today’s Venus-Pluto transit also requires some reorienting, making the day a transitional one. It’s better to observe and adjust than make big changes or decisions, in other words.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 5th:

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).

(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).
