Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Mercury heads into your creative sector today, dear Aries. Mercury will move through here relatively quickly, staying until the 25th. During this cycle, communication flows more naturally than usual. For the most part, you can speak and write with few disclaimers. You can have some fun with mental exercises, adding more color and creativity to your communications, and enjoy sharing your ideas and creations with others during this cycle. Others may recognize you for your wit and intelligence, and your powers of persuasion are in fine form. You tend to speak from the heart. There may be an opportunity to teach, manage, oversee, or guide others. This is a strong transit for enjoyable conversations and creative ideas. Later today, something communicated can be taken the wrong way, or news you hear can bring up conversations you may not have expected. A Mercury-Chiron square could lead to an uncomfortable interaction about money or boundaries. You’ll arrive at an enlightened perspective, ultimately, but there can be some discomfort temporarily. Otherwise, today is strong for centering yourself.

Taurus

Mercury enters your family and home sector today, dear Taurus, encouraging a reflective turn of mind during its visit until August 25th. You’re likely to think and talk about personal and family matters more than usual in the period ahead. There may be more activity, conversation, and animation on the home front now. It’s a generally good time for self-directed study, contemplation, generating ideas or plans for long-term security, and mental concentration. You may not always feel understood, and you are less inclined to reach out and keep in touch with others outside your familiar circle for now. You crave more peace and predictability. There is some tendency for people to confront one another about touchy topics later today, however. While it can be a little messy, you’re learning much about yourself, and self-honesty is at the heart of this.

Gemini

Mercury moves into your solar third house today, dear Gemini. You’re especially into communicating and connecting as well as getting out and about while it visits this sector of your solar chart, until the 25th. During this booster cycle, you’re more talkative, expressive, interested, and interactive. You express yourself more flowingly, although sometimes rather clinically. You’re inclined to reach out to others more frequently. Themes of this cycle include exclusive news and perhaps gossip, information-gathering, staying more connected and on top of your daily affairs, running errands, and increased involvement with siblings or the neighborhood. It can be a lively time when you’re answering your curiosity more frequently. In the second half of today, sensitive topics may emerge, or something you hear or say hits a nerve. It may not be intentional, but the result is the same, and while a part of you wants to ignore it and move on, another part of you (or a person in your life) won’t let it go. In truth, addressing the issue can work in your favor. Ultimately, you might get to a better place of self-understanding. Even so, it can be a good idea to be selective with words just for now.

Cancer

Mercury moves into your personal resources sector today, dear Cancer, where it will visit until the 25th. During this cycle, you’ll be putting some of your ideas and enterprises into action or adding the details to plans. It’s also a time to work with your talents and put them to practical use. You can be skilled at getting to the bottom line, as you’re not very interested in the extras and prefer to keep things simple during this cycle. When stressed, there can be worry or overstimulation about money, possessions, and resources. Otherwise, it’s a great time to develop patience. You’re in a rewarding period for news, ideas, and research on finances, comfort and security, and income. It’s a good time for concentrating but not the best time for reaching out and sharing. People can be sensitive later today, however, and you might inadvertently open up a Pandora’s box. Uncomfortable topics can emerge, but this also challenges you to put a grudge or insecurity behind you, whether these belong to you or someone else!

Leo

You might find opportunities to make important clarifications in the weeks ahead, dear Leo. Mercury enters your sign today, and your interest in the world around you, especially communicating with it, increases many times over. While you were mostly content to keep your observations to yourself in recent weeks, you’re now craving a little more interaction. Still, this is a time when you make more executive decisions, worrying less about feedback and more about what genuinely works for you. It’s a good time for increased confidence in and enthusiasm for various mental projects or pursuits. In fact, this can be a power period on a mental level. You’re ready to put the past behind you, and you have plenty of fresh ideas for the future. You tend to attract what you want through the power of words. Mercury is transiting your sign until the 25th, and decision-making is more straightforward than it has been. You might identify with a friend, pet project, or cause more closely during this period. Later today, it may be best to choose your words more carefully, or assert yourself and deal with the consequences! People can be more sensitive than usual, particularly about how things are expressed.

Virgo

Mercury moves into your solar twelfth house today, dear Virgo, where it will visit until the 25th, stirring a need or desire to look at the world around you a little differently. You’re more contemplative and less decisive. You need time to digest and process recent events and ideas. Your intuition plays a bigger role than usual in the decisions you do make. You’re less inclined to say what’s on your mind just for now. There can be some challenges focusing on mundane matters during this cycle, largely because you’re more interested in patterns, subtleties, and emotional matters. It’s a fabulous cycle for prioritizing mental rest. You might put a project to rest or finish up a long-term project. While there can be some touchiness and sensitivity to deal with later today, there is also a generous supply of creativity and generosity with you now, which can win out over our insecurities.

Libra

Mercury heads into your social sector today, dear Libra, and until the 25th, you’re particularly drawn to different ideas and perspectives. You seek something new and unique to think about or focus your attention on. You might take an interest in special causes, and you put more faith in your friends and networks. It’s a good time to share ideas or your expertise with others. You’re more inclined to reach out to others for inspiration, and they’re more readily connecting with you as well. Contributing, connecting, and collaborating may bring rewards. There may be some disconnects to deal with later today, but nothing you can’t handle. Be particularly aware of what you say as well as your own soft spots.

Scorpio

Mercury moves to the top of your solar chart today, dear Scorpio, and this cycle can mean adapting and adjusting in ways that benefit your career, reputation, status, or long-term goals until the 25th. It’s a time for bringing more of your knowledge, expertise, and intelligence to your professional or public life. Circumstances may be such that you now have more decision-making responsibility. Your words are also more impactful, and it makes sense to spend a little more time than usual crafting what you want to say and present to the world. This transit brings further interest in, and attention to, your long-term goals and responsibilities. This is largely a good time for making executive decisions, being “heard”, and influencing others. Later today is influenced by a Mercury-Chiron square that can tug at your doubts and insecurities, particularly about your ability to successfully get your message across or about what you know. It’s a time to see how you might communicate in ways that work against you, and making adjustments based on these insights makes sense now.

Sagittarius

A positive cycle for sharing your ideas, learning new things, and building your knowledge begins today, dear Sagittarius, as Mercury moves into your solar ninth house. It’s an excellent transit for letting go of smaller problems and enjoying a broader, more optimistic perspective. Until the 25th, you’re especially inclined to think about your life from a longer-term perspective, which helps soothe your nerves. You’re more inclined to get worked up over differences of opinion from time to time during this cycle. There might also be an inclination to forget, overlook, or ignore some of the details of daily life or routines. If you keep these things in check, however, it’s a fine time for learning and sharing. People tend to “get” what you intend to say, and you’re less likely to have to clarify your intentions during this satisfying cycle. Later today, however, people can be sensitive or easily triggered in spots, and it can help to be clearer than usual about your boundaries. Aim to feed restlessness with knowledge, studies, conversation, or a different routine. It’s not a time to undersell yourself, but it is a time for redefining goals so that they are more realistic and doable.

Capricorn

Mercury begins its transit of your intimacy sector today, dear Capricorn, bringing increased attention to, or interest in, the mysteries and subtleties of life until the 25th. Your mind is investigative in the weeks ahead. You’ll be making plans and formulating strategies rather than jumping into action too quickly. It’s a good time to sort out trouble areas or mediate and negotiate better relations, finances, support, and life strategies. You may be doing more troubleshooting than usual, and you’re very successful at this task during this cycle. It’s an active period for deeper thinking and understanding, and it’s a generally good time for intimate conversations or consultations. You’re likely to enjoy interesting insights into inner motivations, behind-the-scenes activities, and secrets as you naturally read between the lines and seek out the deeper meaning in matters. Conversations with a partner can be especially rewarding now. Approaching people with gentleness is favored later today. A Mercury-Chiron aspect in play suggests we’re more sensitive to words expressed, or there can be some doubts to manage related to ideas and the ability to communicate your feelings effectively.

Aquarius

Mercury heads into your partnership sector today, dear Aquarius, and will influence this area of your solar chart until the 25th. You’re in particularly good shape for talking things through with others during this cycle. Communication with a partner or close friend can be emphasized now, and your negotiating skills increase. Opposing viewpoints help you get to a stronger understanding of your own! Even when you disagree with someone, the thinking that results from a debate can help clarify your own thoughts. You’re more likely to consult with others, discuss ideas and plans, and seek feedback. You gravitate to people who stimulate your thinking or offer you a different perspective. You want intellectual companionship, or connecting through the mind figures strongly during this period. Later today, there can be some crankiness and sensitivity to manage. Talks can quickly become emotional, although they can be quite revealing.

Pisces

Mercury begins its transit of your work and health sector today, dear Pisces, encouraging smarter work habits in the weeks ahead. You’ll be giving a lot more thought to your duties, services, health, and routines during this cycle that lasts until the 25th, and you might come up with improved systems and methods in the process. It’s an excellent time to hone skills and learn useful things. Do watch for an inclination to fret or worry about matters you don’t always pay much attention. Otherwise, it’s a great time to recognize and process details you may overlook at other times of the year. Gathering information to help others (or yourself) can figure strongly. Some conversations or interactions can challenge you to face certain insecurities later today, particularly related to communication or knowledge. A Mercury-Chiron square is in play, and people can be more sensitive than usual.

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. 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).

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.

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).
