You seek more stability today, and you’re very willing to put in the effort to achieve it. Productivity is satisfying. Transits support sharing memories, personal feelings, and thoughts. You feel especially supported and family-oriented. Home life can be a source of special pleasure and warmth. You can more easily discover creative solutions to family or home-related problems, and it’s an excellent time to nurture your loved ones or domestic projects.

Taurus
Taurus
Taurus
The Sun aligns with fertile Ceres in your communications sector today, dear Taurus, making it a great day for learning and enjoying it as you do. Making vital links and connections can figure strongly, and you can feel quite accomplished as a result. Conversations can be warm and helpful. You’re developing many and varied interests that help fuel your enthusiasm and motivation, and you’re also more aware of your emotional needs. You tend to bring more love and special attention to your projects, personal interests, or communications. With the Moon in your sign all day, self-directed activities are the best for you, and you have an exciting aura. Watch for impulsiveness.

Gemini
Gemini
Gemini
Today’s transits are stellar for refreshing and regrouping, dear Gemini. While you tend to want to carve more time for yourself, you also take an interest in keeping busy with money, security, or home matters. Creatively speaking, your focus on memories and the past can be fertile. Practical affairs can fare exceptionally well, and you readily find workable solutions to problems. Building your sense of security can be in focus, and you’re inclined to add special touches to your endeavors or activities. You might pour extra energy into a financial project or problem. The Moon spends the day in the sign behind yours, and connecting with your inner world or intuition can be exciting. Your personal life can be particularly animated.

Cancer
Cancer
Cancer
You’re focusing on some of the dreams and hopes close to your heart today, dear Cancer, and special projects, studies, or learning can be energizing. Personal plans are more exciting than usual, and giving a particular project or person your attention is fulfilling now. With the Sun and Ceres coming together in your sign, people are especially drawn to you and your healing energy, perhaps seeking reassurance. You might be in the position to soothe, comfort, or otherwise care for someone. You’re also well positioned to pay special attention to diet, nutrition, and healthy living. Networking can stir different feelings, and you might want to pioneer a new and exciting project.

Leo
Leo
Leo
You might relish private time or choose to self-pamper rather than seek out others to take care of you today, dear Leo. With the Sun and Ceres joining forces in your privacy sector, you may want nothing more than to take time to yourself to feel stronger or nurtured later today. Secrets may be appealing, and anonymity is a good form of escape. Still, the Moon and Mars align at the top of your solar chart today, and you can be quite pumped about certain longer-term goals. It’s also a good time to connect with what you want. Aim to find a happy balance between self-care and attending to your responsibilities.

Virgo
Virgo
Virgo
Transits today bring creative and pleasing energy for friendship, love, and business, dear Virgo. Friends seem genuinely concerned about your needs, or a sense of belonging in a group setting can give you a beautiful feeling. There can be good feelings and special warmth with people in your life, or you feel particularly hopeful about a dream or happiness goal. You can find yourself focusing on the future and your plans. The desire to improve and grow is pronounced. The Moon spends the day in your solar ninth house, meeting Mars there and inspiring your enthusiasm about a plan, topic, or idea. Certain topics or beliefs excite you, and you could be involved in animated discussions or debates.

Libra
Libra
Libra
You can be excited about giving more attention to your plans or work, dear Libra. You readily get in touch with your deeper needs and desires today, and you can enjoy a good feeling of inner strength and resolve. You’re projecting yourself as a nurturer or helpful leader, and people might gravitate to you for advice or comfort. Business decisions are wise right now, as you’re taking the whole picture into account, not only the logic and analysis. You can feel more fulfilled by putting extra love into a particular pursuit or goal. You could be itching to make things happen with finances or intimacy. However, with the Sun changing signs tomorrow, it may be better to wait and see.

Scorpio
Scorpio
Scorpio
With the Moon spending the day in your opposite sign, dear Scorpio, people in your life tend to jumpstart your thinking processes as you react to them or defend your ideas and point of view. Whether you notice differences or similarities, it gets you thinking. Creative energy is with you for promotion, publicity, learning new things, and increasing your knowledge. If your business or talents can use some marketing, it’s a good time to develop original ideas to do so persuasively. You might guide others now, or create something truly inspiring, even if it’s simply some words shared with others.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
You feel more purposeful through your work, chores, routines, or projects today, dear Sagittarius, and it feels good to be in touch with your instincts. You’re inclined to notice all the details today. Also today, you can be quite successful at boosting your relationships with increased attention and understanding or even concessions. Your courage is strong, especially in sharing yourself with others. You might pay special attention to a pet project or connection. It’s a fine day to gently push or challenge yourself, but it’s best not to give in to impatience. You may have more on your plate today than usual, but you’re also highly motivated.

Capricorn
Capricorn
Capricorn
The Moon spends the day in your sector of personal enjoyment and self-expression, dear Capricorn, and pursuing your joy is in focus. You’re more inclined to act than to overthink things, and you’re more in tune creatively. Today’s Sun-Ceres alignment in your partnership sector can boost a relationship. There can be more satisfying or healthy interactions with a partner or benefits to pairing up. You can feel supported, protected, or nurtured by someone important to you, or you may be the one doing the nurturing. Either way, there is vital energy for feeling comfortable with someone special.

Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius
Today’s Sun-Ceres alignment boosts your work or health efforts, dear Aquarius, and it’s an excellent time to apply yourself to work or chores. It’s also a helpful influence for organizing your personal environment. Today’s transits are almost magical for strengthening your inner confidence. You want to feel rooted, secure, and supported, but you’re also interested in accomplishing something special. You’re putting more love into your work or self-care pursuits now. Interactions with others tend to be warm. Handling unresolved matters can boost your sense of security or a key relationship.

Pisces
Pisces
Pisces
Good energy is with you for relating and interacting today, dear Pisces. You can feel a sense of mission or a resurgence of motivation. It’s a strong time for creative satisfaction and expressing affection and interest. You’re at your best when pursuing what makes you happy as the Sun and Ceres join forces n your sector of joy. Putting extra care into a creative project or relationship can be satisfying now. The Moon spends the day in your communications sector, meeting Mars there and animating your thoughts, ideas, connections, and conversations.

Today’s Elemental Balance

 

EARTH STRONG

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.

AIR WEAK

We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.

 

Today’s Modal Balance

 

FIXED STRONG

The Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. We are thinking about the long view, seeking out security and stability rather than change. We may be committed, focused, resistant to making changes, and stubborn.

MUTABLE WEAK

We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.

 

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 July 21st:

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).
