Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

With today’s Moon in your solar second house all day, dear Aries, in many ways, you’re content to stay put or to surround yourself with familiar people and things. However, there can be some impatience, or a building sense that you want to do something different, more exciting, and more fulfilling. This may very well lead you to recognize your need for others to maximize success. Certainly, you can be torn between wanting to try new things and preferring to stick with what’s most comfortable and secure today, but you have every chance of striking a balance. Tensions today can be highly motivating, spurring you to develop creative workarounds and new ideas for improvement. Today’s Mars transit also encourages you to be a little more deliberate for better results. Patience brings rewards.

Taurus

While you should definitely watch for impatience today, dear Taurus, this is a good time for pursuing your personal goals. In many ways, you’re clearer about how you feel today, with the Moon’s transit of your sign most of the day. You’d rather set the pace and let your emotions lead you today, but it may not always be straightforward to do so with the Moon’s square to the Sun. It can be challenging to balance your need for independence with your strong desire to stick with what’s most familiar and safe. Still, there are other ways to express yourself today, and loving feelings are easy to tap. Today can begin a little choppily, but as the day advances, you’re in particularly good shape for committing yourself to a particular task and getting things done.

Gemini

The Moon is in your privacy sector all day, dear Gemini, and you can be in a more introspective mood than usual. You require a little more personal space and time to relax. This transit puts you in a superb position to let go of the past and make way for the future. Tie up loose ends, consider what no longer serves you well, and let go of behaviors and attitudes that weigh you down and keep you from starting fresh. With this transit, you process feelings more than express them. The world does seem to be calling you today, however, with the Moon’s square aspects, but consider that you’ll bring your best to your activities if you catch up on the inside. Fortunately, you are able to show self-restraint, and this approach benefits you greatly at this time.

Cancer

You may want to watch for a tendency to want to do too much, too fast today, dear Cancer. Your desire to enjoy new things and to experiment or diversify is strong with today’s Moon transits. It’s a time of the lunar month for carving out more time for fulfilling activities. Still, the Moon’s clash with several bodies, while temporary influences, suggests some challenges in integrating these things with your increased need for predictability these days. From this minor inner struggle, though, you can feel more motivated to make meaningful changes and improvements in your life. As well, a Mars-Vesta transit today puts you in great shape for getting back on track in a significant way. A responsible theme becomes and benefits you now.

Leo

With the Moon transiting the most visible and notable area of your solar chart all day, dear Leo, you’re more noticeable. Your responsibilities to others are highlighted. You may be sensitive to offhand remarks today, but keep in mind that it’s all too easy to speak before thinking right now. You’re investing more energy into your ambitions and performance at this time of the lunar month. With the Moon’s squares today, these feelings can seem to clash with your desire to be a free spirit and even with your relationship goals. It may be that you need to do a bit of compromising today, as some rules need your attention, but you also need to go your own way. Plus, Quarter Moons, such as the one today, can be motivating, producing just enough stress or tension to get you to make valuable changes and improvements. There can be an obstacle to manage, but it’s a fine checkpoint. Fortunately, you are likely to feel stable and supported, and you can see good things in simple actions.

Virgo

There’s some tendency to be impatient and short with others, without intending to offend today, dear Virgo. There can be quite a bit of pressure to get things done, so sitting idly may only serve to frustrate. You can feel especially passionate about your beliefs and opinions, and can be quite sensitive about them as well. The Moon continues to encourage you to explore and discover today, and new settings or surroundings can be refreshing. The Sun and Jupiter, however, are encouraging you to process, digest, and take things easy. While this continues to be a central overarching theme, you require something a little different, such as a small move out of your comfort zone now. A compromise seems your best bet now. Second-guessing a situation or decision is possible now, but this may help you pace yourself. It’s best to avoid overloading your life with things to do. Fortunately, today’s Mars-Vesta transit helps you pace yourself and manage your practical affairs. It’s a fine time for applying yourself to work or a project.

Libra

You’re often feeling strengthened by your friendships and connections these days, dear Libra. Today, you’d probably prefer to observe others rather than to actively socialize, but you’re certainly not unfriendly. The day’s energies are upbeat, although perhaps a little too competitive or impulsive for your liking at times. Tension is building, especially if you’re feeling restricted or without direction. You can work with it by pulling out the motivation to make improvements. Consider that getting in touch with your deeper needs and wants is essential work right now, and devoting some time to observing and planning makes sense. Find ways to concentrate and specialize today for the best results, but also to compromise. You may very well satisfy both your need to feel attached to something and your desire to branch out. Fortunately, a Mars-Vesta transit also active today helps you appreciate some simplicity and practicality.

Scorpio

It can be a relationship-focused day, dear Scorpio. You’re looking to balance your life. There’s some tendency to become easily offended or frustrated, but consider that tension building within you now has to do with a desire to grow and improve. Today’s Moon has a way of highlighting your need for companionship, feedback, or a different perspective on a situation. Still, you can feel somewhat divided, making it challenging to be emotionally present as different needs and drives compete for your time. While your needs for reassurance and your ambitions seem to be at cross-purposes, tensions stirring now can light a fire under you to make important changes. Fortunately, once you find your focus, your pursuits can thrive with added thoroughness and attention to detail.

Sagittarius

With the Moon in your solar sixth house all day, dear Sagittarius, you’re tuning into problems that need solving and things that need straightening out. You should watch for impatience and hastiness with your ruler, Jupiter, clashing with this Moon. Certainly, there can be difficulties fitting everything you want to do in. Your need to get out and about, learn new things, and connect with your personal interests is strong these days, but today’s Moon reminds you of the need to find a compromise and arrive at a balance. It’s possible that prioritizing chores is your best bet right now so that you can enjoy yourself more genuinely later. Fortunately, today’s Quarter Moon helps you make the most of challenges, as they seem to motivate you to make improvements. AS well, a Mars transit helps with planning and pacing yourself.

Capricorn

Conversations are stirring, creative, and playful today, dear Capricorn, and personal magnetism runs high. The Moon spends all day in your recreation sector, bringing out a need to share your affection with others and to enjoy and express yourself. Today’s Moon transit reminds you of the need for light entertainment and fun at a time when you’re generally taking things more to heart. You seem to need that extra spark right now, even if it appears to be pulling you off course temporarily. While there can be some tensions today, it’s the kind of stress that can motivate you to make changes that benefit you. Fortunately, today’s Mars transit helps you pace yourself and identify where to pour your energy for the best results.

Aquarius

Today’s Moon pulls out your desire to surround yourself with familiar faces and places, dear Aquarius. Matters of the past seem to be settling. You’re building a strong sense of self and independence, and while some tension may be stirring in a close relationship, it may truly be about a deep need to grow and improve. Think of ways you can do so while preserving your independence on some level. Aim to make some time for comfortable, familiar, or quiet activities. Sharing activities that help you regroup can be a useful compromise if you’re feeling pulled in different directions. Fortunately, today’s Mars transit helps ground you, so you can pay more attention to the things that matter most.

Pisces

With the Moon in your solar third house all day, dear Pisces, you’re communicative and curious. People today can be a little prone to debate and sensitivity when it comes to their opinions and beliefs. As well, you can feel quite divided or scattered at times today, as you’re pulled in different directions. Being a mediator is possible, and it can be time-consuming! It’s a day for diversifying, pursuing your personal interests, and following your curiosity, but trying to do it all can be too stressful, so a compromise probably works better for you. You can certainly get away with some multitasking, and it might benefit you to do so. Fortunately, if you can manage to avoid overloading your plate, you can take advantage of today’s Mars-Vesta transit that’s strong for identifying your priorities. As you seek truly workable solutions, you feel stronger and more directed.

LUNAR PHASE: DISSEMINATING

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 5th:

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).

There is a healthy level of detachment experienced now that opens us up to new ideas, methods, art forms, and ways of relating.

OPPOSITION NEPTUNE Orb 5°20′ Applying

TRINE PLUTO Orb 5°12′ Applying

OPPOSITION PLUTO Orb 3°55′ Separating

You may reject the norms of society as you can see better ways of doing things. You need to realise that society has rules to run itself efficiently. Change from within rather than tearing down the structure.

You are resourceful, and capable of applying new methods in a practical manner. Your lessons are in patience and self-reliance.

15TH DEGREE OF ARIES

Part of Body: Lateral lobes of brain

Sabian Symbol: A person weaving a blanket.

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. For a more individual interpretation look at the house position. This is the generation which becomes focused on new forms of communication and the world’s networks. Original and inventive ideas may spring to life.

6TH DEGREE OF GEMINI

Part of Body: Lower left pulmonary lobe

Sabian Symbol: Drilling for oil.

Your generation is full of ideals for a better society. You accept social change and work to bring it about. You will fight against injustice.

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. This generation have the potential to be spiritual pioneers. They take risks in exploring the mystical realms. This generation may also boast many pioneers in the arts.

5TH DEGREE OF ARIES

Part of Body: The eyes, left and right

Sabian Symbol: A triangle with wings.

ASPECTS OF NEPTUNE

SEXTILE PLUTO Orb 0°07′ Separating

You belong to a generation which is able to bring about social change. You are part of the changes in government and the approach to human rights. Spirituality and the occult are given more credence or power. Alternatively, some of your generation will choose to drop out of the system.

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).

5TH DEGREE OF AQUARIUS

Part of Body: Nerve of right fibula

Sabian Symbol: A council of ancestors.

ASPECTS OF PLUTO

SQUARE CHIRON Orb 3°12′ Applying

You have an intense and emotional side to your nature. Unhappy scenes from your childhood may lurk in your memory.
