Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Supporting or entertaining others is at the forefront today, dear Aries. Your expectations from life may be higher than usual but not so high that you’re gearing for a fall, and it makes sense to let this gentle curiosity and optimistic spirit guide the day. It can be all too easy to react quickly and set yourself back this week, but nice opportunities seem to emerge through networks, groups, and friends. This could be a socially powerful day for you. This time favors reconnecting, but it’s also a time for making connections through your work or through the pursuit of your routine goals.

Taurus

The Moon continues its transit of your creative sector early today but then moves into your work and health sector, dear Taurus. You move from a playful frame of mind to a desire or need to take care of business. For the latter, you get help from a Moon-Pluto trine that helps you quickly gain others’ support. It’s a time for organizing your life in fundamental ways, with a focus on the details, and you especially enjoy piecing things together. There’s something especially satisfying about accomplishment today. This week, there is a tendency for people to cling to what they know and perhaps feel threatened by change or confrontation, but this has more to do with their insecurities and fears than about you. The good news is that you find it easy to detach yourself and get practical matters handled. A sense of mission or purpose drives you to quiet success. Fulfilling responsibilities contributes much to your emotional satisfaction right now — contributing and feeling useful fills an emotional need. It’s also a good day for pleasing energy with a love interest or partner.

Gemini

As much as you’d love to rely on others, they may not be very available or supportive at times this week, dear Gemini, perhaps as they could be wrapped up in their own problems and concerns. However, this kind of minor challenge allows you a bit of a break or space to handle other areas of your life. Resolve to do your own thing without worrying about what others are doing or not doing, and you’ll be in great form today. If you find yourself getting riled up unnecessarily or out of the blue, take a moment to understand the reasons behind your emotions. This introspection can prevent you from acting out without thinking of the consequences. Fortunately, sharing a vision, belief, or idea can be rewarding today, and your unique perspective on matters can fuel your appeal and magnetism. Creativity is flowing today, and it may be so natural that you hardly notice it. Don’t let opportunities to put your unique personal stamp on things pass you by.

Cancer

You can begin the day with a mission to be pleasantly busy, dear Cancer, but the Moon’s move into your solar fourth house early today finds you in need of more familiarity, comfort, and quiet. You might take this time to tone things down and enjoy yourself. You’re ready for more profound connections, and resolutions come especially naturally. A regeneration of sorts is occurring now. This week, there can be a reserved atmosphere around you, yet underlying tension that might be about a disappointment in your intimate life, a snub, or a missed opportunity. There can be an exaggerated issue or misleading information at times. Fortunately, today, a sense of peace comes to you, perhaps ironically, through confronting inner demons, even if these seem to stir excitement or conflict. You’re especially aware of what motivates you, and you should take advantage of this greater understanding of your inner workings. Even with Mercury retrograde, there can be a healthy flow and understanding with someone special today.

Leo

You begin the day in a practical frame of mind, dear Leo, but the day gets busier as it advances. Fortunately, you adapt beautifully to this new energy. You might take an active interest in learning new things and connecting with others. It’s a great time for resolving conflicts and for benefiting from others’ input and help. This week, there’s a general tendency to hold on tightly to old hurts, resentment, habits, or unresolved matters. Still, you’re recognizing that these can be preventing you from growing, improving, and thriving. Keeping something to yourself can weigh you down. Today’s energies put you in a more certain, natural frame of mind and timing improves as a result. People come through for you. It’s a good day for cooperation with others, and it’s also reasonably strong for personal appeal, particularly because you are very willing to listen to important people in your life. Others tend to support you, and you are quick to return the favor. Getting what you give and giving what you get is the theme.

Virgo

The Moon continues to move through your sign as you begin the day, dear Virgo, amplifying your feelings, but rather quickly moves into your resources sector. The tendency now is to want to make or build something rather than to innovate. At the same time, attending to your health can be a fun exercise as the Moon harmonizes with determined Pluto in your sector of wellness, routines, and work. Supporting and helping others brings wonderful rewards. At times this week, there’s a tendency to become all wound up about a small matter that can delay your progress and fun in other areas. It’s all easy to get ticked off by something not going your way, and expressing this or acting out can lead to bigger problems. Fortunately, today, you’re finding constructive ways to blow off steam instead! This can be a day of inspired practicality, but it’s also strong for personal appeal. Solving practical problems and attending to the “little” details of daily existence come naturally and easily to you.

Libra

While you continue to crave the chance to cocoon as you begin the day, dear Libra, the Moon enters your sign, and emotions start to need more overt channels for expression! You’re more inclined to reach out for acknowledgment and reinforcement. As the Moon in your sign harmonizes with Pluto, you’re on a mission to find your joy. Your innate talents, strengths, and attractive qualities reveal themselves organically, and people appreciate them more than usual. This week, it’s important to honor your long-term plans and strategies instead of blowing them through fear-based moves. That said, there is good energy with you today for enjoying a break from this kind of pressure. It’s easy to get worked up emotionally, but you are also in the position to genuinely understand and know what you want and desire. You’re adding special touches to your endeavors or activities.

Scorpio

While you begin the day with an emotional focus on camaraderie, dear Scorpio, the Moon’s move into your privacy sector early today finds you needing a pause. Being more self-protective with your feelings can be useful now. Today is strong for sharing fond memories and strengthening a relationship in the process. This week, there can be times when passions blow up, and you may not always see much beyond the moment. Fortunately, you’re taking a step back from a hectic pace to process. Letting go of something — for your own good — is a theme. You see more layers to a situation, which helps you gain a sense of peace. You’re also in excellent shape for attracting the right resources and enjoying clear benefits from incoming information.

Sagittarius

You can begin the day wanting to take care of business, dear Sagittarius, but the Moon’s move into your social sector early today shifts your emotional focus rather quickly today. You crave more recreation, and friendly energy tends to take over, helping ease pressure. You might feel more comfortable removing yourself from the action or intense situations, but you also appreciate intellectual companionship or stimulation. This week, you might sometimes need to be on the lookout for a tendency to overshoot when it comes to deadlines, projects, plans, or work. Making promises may lead to setting up expectations that will take time to fulfill or live up to later. Enthusiasm does run high, so it can be too easy to take something on and go big. Fortunately, today, you enjoy an optimistic outlook but also manage to tame impatience or ego. You might bridge gaps with others through thoughtful gestures that tell people they are meaningful to you. Duties can make you feel good, and may be necessary with people in your life today. It’s also a time for mapping out a long-term game plan, something flexible.

Capricorn

The day begins with some scattering of energy, dear Capricorn, but it shapes up to be far more focused as it goes along. There can be pleasant pressure to take care of business as you get in touch with gentle ambitions. You’re ready to work for your rewards, and you’re not focusing only on instant gratification. In fact, it feels great to tap into patience and go for the long game. You’re also appreciating the finer things in life. This week, you probably should watch for overshooting with your money or talents due to a tense but minor aspect between Jupiter and Pluto. Consider whether your pride might be skewing your decisions. If you feel disrespected, consider a plan or strategy to address it rather than let the frustration rule your moves. Fortunately, today, you’re not easily swayed or ruled by the whims of the moment. In fact, you might learn about your priorities.

Aquarius

While you can begin the day feeling somewhat introspective, dear Aquarius, your need for new experiences, however big or small, is building today. You’re feeling a little more confident and comfortable in your own skin, and you sense you’re making your own luck now. With a Jupiter-Pluto minor challenging transit this week, it can sometimes be difficult to stick to the task, especially if you feel too close to a subject. It would be a shame to set yourself back based on worries, especially about things that aren’t a sure thing, so it may be best to draw upon self-control. Today, it’s easier to see where you may have held on to routines or old habits that have prevented you from growing, improving, and getting the rest, spiritual sustenance, or emotional healing you need. Today, you might want to let out any recent pent-up feelings, and you can easily rally up support if needed. It’s also natural to connect with a personal interest and pour your energies into it, and it’s pleasant.

Pisces

Your desire to pair up remains strong as you begin the day, dear Pisces, but the Moon heads into your solar eighth house early today, and your need to observe and reflect is strengthening. You’re inclined to process your feelings and recent events, and it turns out to be quite satisfying and useful at once. Rather than pushing forward with new activities, you’re taking the time to explore what is on the inside. With this week’s Jupiter-Pluto minor clash, people can sometimes be a little easy on the trigger. However, hasty moves and decisions can set you back. Especially if you’ve been building a project or a following, be careful not to throw caution to the wind now. Today, you might more easily see where you’ve hung on to a project or connection too tightly, as it can hold you back from growing and enjoying yourself. Private and emotional matters are in focus and tend to thrive right now. Your powers of intuition run very high. Someone could lean on you for support, or you might give of yourself anonymously and derive much emotional satisfaction in so doing.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 8th:

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).
