Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

It’s not easy to keep up a routine early today, dear Aries. Sudden attractions to people, material things, or experiences may emerge. It’s better not to commit to anything or anyone with your feelings in rapid flux. As the day advances, Mercury’s trine to Jupiter lifts your thoughts and communications. It’s a good time for exchanging ideas and solving problems. You might thoroughly benefit from–and enjoy–making plans related to money, work, and health. Sound energy is with you to communicate positively and successfully, making it an excellent time to improve health and work methods. This transit helps you find creative solutions to practical problems and increases your sense of fun or joy in your pursuits.

Taurus

Early today, you can experience a clash between wanting company or intimacy and craving more independence, dear Taurus, as Venus forms a square with Uranus. It can also be a time of interruptions and changes of plans, particularly in the home and your relationships, which can irritate you but also help establish your priorities. As the day advances, focusing on positive issues comes easily with Mercury in a happy aspect with Jupiter. More importantly, sound energy is with you for feeling valuable and valued, further motivating and inspiring you. With Jupiter currently transiting your sign, you’re feeling more confident, in general, and today is particularly strong for personal influence and creative self-expression. You are in an excellent position to talk through problems and reach a positive frame of mind. People gravitate to your warm and healing aura, and sharing ideas or creations is incredibly successful now.

Gemini

With a Venus-Uranus square early today, dear Gemini, there could be unexpected issues with communications or transportation. It may not be easy to focus or center yourself, and changes in your schedule can throw you a bit off course. As the day advances, you come into your own. The Moon moves into your sign, lighting you up, especially on an emotional level. As well, your planetary ruler, Mercury, harmonizes with lucky Jupiter, bringing good energy for discussions about personal or family matters. People are notably reasonable, fair, and positive. You feel that willingness and effort can resolve virtually any problem, boosting your spirits and relationships. You can rise above minor issues by focusing on the bigger picture, and family or personal matters come together. You’re communicating well, and others are listening to you. Helping someone out can be rewarding.

Cancer

Early today, a Venus-Uranus square can stir an inner conflict between wanting to play it safe and experimenting with something new, dear Cancer. Interruptions or schedule changes can figure strongly now, but you probably shouldn’t take them to heart. You might need a change in your routine for some emotional refreshment, which can be a wake-up call. As the day advances, there can be breakthrough, positive thinking, particularly with or about friends and groups, as well as long-term plans that leave you feeling excited about what’s to come. It’s an excellent time for writing, particularly about your feelings or professional aims, such as promotion or publicity work. Sharing ideas feels good and can lead to new understandings and wonderful camaraderie and support. Wise counsel figures strongly.

Leo

Early today, you might see-saw between wanting to be close to someone and craving your independence, dear Leo. This time requires flexibility. Aim to enjoy the space and freedom to do your own thing. As the day advances, a Mercury-Jupiter trine favors presenting your ideas or showcasing your talents. It’s also strong for negotiations and arriving at agreements or mutually beneficial situations. Ideas for boosting business, your reputation, or your income can come to you now, and you can feel excited about your prospects. Problem-solving is enhanced, particularly with regards to career, reputation, financial, and other practical or mechanical matters. Your vision of an issue is expansive, and with this broader perspective, the details of your plans may later fall into place.

Virgo

You might crave a change of pace or some other form of emotional refreshment today, dear Virgo. Restlessness is likely early today, but as the day advances, it’s easier to make things work for you. Topics of conversation, thoughts, and musings stand out for their quality or ability to create good vibes. There can be inspiring ideas coming in, or you might participate in a healthy debate that gives you stimulating food for thought. It’s an excellent time for communicating, sharing, and expressing your ideas and beliefs. Learning, publishing, and transportation are in favor. The detours you take from your usual routine can be invigorating mentally. Focusing on friendships and positive communication can be rewarding.

Libra

Early today, a Venus-Uranus influence shakes things up, dear Libra, enforcing changes you may not have prepared for. Following a routine, instructions, or a schedule can prove challenging just for now. Social interactions can be confusing, with surprising feelings emerging. However, as the day advances, a Mercury-Jupiter aspect keeps you focused on the positive. It stirs excellent ideas, primarily related to matters of the past and how to learn from them and move past them. Ideas come to you spontaneously, and they fall into place. Advice and information flow naturally and brilliantly. Spending some time alone or away from demanding situations is beneficial, but it’s also a fine time to share ideas with someone you trust. You are willing to lend an ear to those who need it.

Scorpio

Early today, there can be mixed feelings or tension with others, dear Scorpio. At the heart of this, you may need a change of pace, and the sooner you identify this need and work with it, the better. You may not agree with someone on your direction, but perhaps you need some space to think things through. As the day advances, your thinking elevates. It can shape up to be a big idea day, in fact, and there can be quite a focus on exchanging notes. A pleasant conversation can occur, or you might map out a long-term plan that is motivating and exciting. Talking things through with a trusted friend can be satisfying. Ideas generated with or about relationships are winners today. New information can come in that helps you, or you can discover something about a relationship that positively frames things.

Sagittarius

While transits early today are a little destabilizing, dear Sagittarius, they can help push new methods into your awareness. At the heart of these influences is the need to approach people and pleasures differently or switch up your routine to entertain new feelings. As the day advances, you tap into the energy of a Mercury-Jupiter trine, and practical thinking gets a nice boost. Ideas and methods for work, business, and health are in top shape. Work and career matters can thrive with your positive attitude and outlook. You feel equipped to solve problems, whether it’s through your ideas or others’ input. It’s also a fine time for reaching a pleasant agreement with someone special.

Capricorn

Influencing the first half of the day, a Venus-Uranus square can point to conflicting feelings, dear Capricorn, as you wrestle with a desire to harmonize and a simultaneous craving for independence. Entertaining some unusual ideas can stretch your mind out of a rut. Feeling more detached from a situation may motivate you to make a break or a change. As the day advances, a Mercury-Jupiter trine enlivens your outlook. It’s terrific energy for presenting or sharing ideas, expressing yourself, and getting a good feel for future trends. Making long-term plans can be successful and enjoyable. You’re craving more from spirit on a mental level than you usually do, and you gravitate to ideas, projects, and situations that fill this need and enrich your point of view. It’s also a good time for solving problems and talking things through.

Aquarius

Early today, there can be some changeability, dear Aquarius. You may not be able to rely on or lean on someone now, but some detachment in relationships can be healthy. There are times when others crowd us to the point that we can’t process our feelings for them, and some emotional space is appropriate. Instead, there can be changes in schedules related to your home life, leading to a bit of chaos but also new experiences and ideas. Mercury forms a beautiful trine with Jupiter today, brightening your outlook, especially as the day advances. This influence spurs a pleasant and gentle flow of thoughts and ideas. It encourages you to reason things through and pay extra attention to emotional and psychological renewal. It’s a good time for studying, learning, and gaining inspiration through what you read, hear, and share. It’s a better time for conversations or further thoughts about private, personal, or otherwise “not talked about” matters, if needed. Finding release through music, writing, or discussion can be most healing. You’re putting things into a larger context, and people are more willing to try to understand where you’re coming from.

Pisces

Transits early today can stir up some tension or produce surprises, dear Pisces. People may be hard to pin down, or there can be so many distractions and interruptions that it’s hard to hear yourself think. Look for the interesting detours that come from unexpected events for the best results. Fortunately, Mercury and Jupiter form a harmonious trine, encouraging you to look on the bright side, especially as the day progresses. It’s a good time for releasing problems or talking things through with someone special. It’s easy to raise yourself above minor issues as you take more interest in cooperating and sharing common goals. Conversations can lead to creative solutions and new ideas. Favored now are shared activities, games, experiences, and ideas. There is a willingness to entertain new ideas and others’ perspectives.

Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.

WATER WEAK

There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.

Today’s Modal Balance

CARDINAL WEAK

This is not a time that we tend to naturally initiate actions. We may be stronger at following up than starting anew. Survival mechanisms may be weaker now.

MUTABLE STRONG

The Mutable signs are Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, and Virgo. We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.

Today’s Lunar Phase

LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER

Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.

We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 9th:

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).
