Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
The Sun begins its month-long transit of the sector of your chart that rules your individuality and creative expression, dear Aries, signaling a time for expressing your talents, abilities, and affections. Until August 22nd, you can be moved to create, put your skills to use, show others what you can do, enjoy romance, and enjoy more recreation and pleasures. It’s a time to pay special attention to personal hobbies and entertainment. This Sun transit awakens your feelings and desires to share. Today is colored by a Sun-Pluto opposition, and a struggle can emerge. While new ways of enjoying yourself are a strong draw, tensions with others or projects can temporarily hold you back and interfere with this pursuit. Instead, the pressures of a long-term dream or friendship can be intense. Do your best to prioritize your enjoyment and sense of play since you’ll likely need a break. This transit illuminates a problem that may keep you from enjoying opportunities. If you’ve been holding on too tightly to people or projects at the expense of expressing your true self, you’ll feel the restriction and look to make changes.Taurus
The Sun begins its month-long transit of your sector of home and family today, dear Taurus, encouraging you to tend to the hearth and heart! It’s a good cycle for family activities, home improvement, and boosting your sense of safety, security, and comfort. It’s also healthy for reconnecting with your roots. You may be craving a more focused and relaxed pace, and you’re taking more pride in your personal life during this cycle that lasts until August 22nd. However, a Sun-Pluto opposition tends to produce some tense undercurrents today. Your personal interests might compete with your duties and obligations, and this can divide you and create a somewhat chaotic atmosphere. This transit can pull up fears or worries, perhaps exaggerating them in your mind temporarily. This leads you to a better understanding of your feelings about a project, your work, or specific ambitions. If there are strong expectations and demands on you, it’s time to find a balance.Gemini
The Sun begins its transit of your solar third house today, dear Gemini, launching a cycle emphasizing communications and learning. It’s an excellent time for picking up new skills, learning about the people around you, and handling everyday affairs. You’re likely to run more errands than usual and communicate with people more frequently until August 22nd. It’s a busy, engaged period of the year for you. Today, however, interactions with others can be a little strained or edgy at times with a Sun-Pluto opposition coming into play. With this transit, people may hold on too tightly to their methods, ideas, and opinions, which can cause some friction. A buried issue can emerge, or tension can revolve around opinions or how someone communicates with you, particularly if you feel that person is trying to overrule you. If someone isn’t catching onto your ways or views, it may be better to wait things out. Aim to be honest with yourself about inner resentments, jealousies, and worries, since these can help you see your desires more clearly.Cancer
The Sun finishes its yearly transit of your sign today, dear Cancer, and embarks on its journey through your resources sector. Until August 22nd, you seek more security and predictability. It’s a good cycle for taking stock, attending to your things, and getting a better sense of what you can accomplish. Your view of your capabilities is realistic during this stabilizing cycle. You benefit most from grounding activities and from making the most of your natural talents and abilities. However, a Sun-Pluto opposition in play today can present a hurdle to clear as you begin this cycle. There can be an obsessive quality to your interactions. Consider that overthinking can complicate things, and suspicion may throw you off track. Money matters and questions of ownership may be tricky and require careful handling. If you’ve recently felt undervalued, frustrations can come to a head. A problem that may have weighed you down could reach a turning point since this transit tends to throw light on some of your worries and fears. You might recognize the need for support or better management of your support systems. While relationships or financial matters may feel loaded or intense now, this is a time to release yourself from problems or burdens or make a plan to do so. Try not to dismiss any feelings of jealousy or resentment since they can show you some of your desires and needs, perhaps pointing you in the direction of a new interest or path.Leo
Your sign ruler, the Sun, moves into your sign today, dear Leo, where it will transit until August 22nd. You’re in your element with this transit! You’re ending a reflective cycle with the Sun finishing up in your privacy sector. It’s a time to shine, reinvent yourself, or move into the light in a significant manner. Still, the Sun heads into opposition with Pluto, and you could be dealing with a difficult person or situation, or the conflict may be taking place inside you. Someone might challenge or attempt to control you, and you could feel blocked. Alternatively, an attachment can temporarily keep you from exploring your options or new opportunities. You might need to break free from a situation, at least for now, to clear your head if it’s been holding you back. If you do, the increased clarity can be a driving force to make empowering changes.Virgo
The Sun begins its month-long transit of your solar twelfth house today, dear Virgo. Your need for rest and privacy or a break from competitive energies increases during this cycle that lasts until August 22nd. You require more substantial chunks of time devoted to reflection on the activities and developments of the last year. It’s the final month of the solar cycle and a time for wrapping things up! Aim to use this time well to avoid overload. You are gathering your strength for busier times to come. Still, the Sun heads toward an opposition with Pluto, which can present a hurdle to clear. It’s a yearly astrological event, but this year, it’s occurring along a new axis of your solar chart. Needs seem larger than life, and pressures to get things done can be enormous, even if you’re not feeling up to par emotionally and physically. Your desire to unwind and relax may be challenged, and it’s best to recognize your need for a healthy balance. If you’ve been doing far more than your share, this may no longer be sustainable. Find healthy outlets for your frustration and make plans to improve your routines and workload.Libra
The Sun begins its transit of your sector of community and friendships today, dear Libra, where it will visit until August 22nd. This new energy in your life pulls your attention to happiness goals and networking. Your need for others or for spending time with people and projects that help you de-stress emerges. This cycle turns your attention to social activities, networks, friendships, dreams, and ideals. However, the Sun heads into opposition with Pluto today, and you might focus on a matter and make too much of it. This transit can spotlight areas of overattachment that limit your happiness and growth. You may find yourself at cross-purposes with someone or in a battle with yourself. Something can hit a nerve! Be as honest with yourself as possible because if you’re clinging to something so tightly that your friendships or personal growth are suffering, you’d be wise to take small steps toward managing this fear. This transit helps reveal insecurities.Scorpio
The Sun begins its month-long transit of your career and reputation sector today, dear Scorpio. Until August 22nd, you’re well-positioned to take charge and focus on your long-term goals. You are more goal-oriented, noticeable, and accountable than usual. You may assume more responsibilities and perhaps reach a high point of the year in your career or reputation. However, the Sun quickly heads into opposition with Pluto today, presenting a hurdle to clear as you begin this new cycle. Buried matters can come to light, and while they might be uncomfortable at first, they’ll push you toward the light, helping you in the long run. Tensions can surface, and resisting, fearing, or avoiding change may worsen things. It’s probably best to recognize a need to make adjustments, but consider that changes should be gradual for best results–rushing things when you’re tense won’t help. This is an excellent time to clean up your life in fundamental ways, particularly around the home, which can do wonders for the energy you have available to put into your career or responsibilities.Sagittarius
A month-long cycle begins today as the Sun heads into your spirit sector, dear Sagittarius. It’s a time of year when you’re more inclined to search for greater meaning and richer experiences. Anything that expands your understanding of the world around you appeals more than usual now. However, today, the Sun and Pluto head into opposition, presenting an initial obstacle. This aspect can bring tensions to a head related to communications, learning, or transportation. Instead, old grudges may emerge, and there could be a sense that someone is trying to dominate the other. Be prepared to let go of a lose-lose battle. This transit can certainly pit your desire/need for new experiences against your attachment to your routines. Even with a lot on your plate, you must take a break occasionally to refresh yourself and clear your mind! Consider that you may limit yourself if you stick too closely to certain habits and methods. Aim to make room for spirit-boosting activities in your life.Capricorn
The Sun begins its transit of your solar eighth house today, dear Capricorn. Personal transformations, power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle that lasts until August 22nd. You are more intense in your mood and disposition at this time of year, and in some ways, you may keep things to yourself more than usual. It can be a time to face your fears! Self-honesty comes in especially handy during this Sun cycle. However, a Sun-Pluto opposition is in play today, and it can pull up some old hurt or resentment. There can be challenges in relationships or the sudden awareness of something that you’ve laid to rest and now need to face, and this can be about money matters or power dynamics in a relationship. Consider that others’ emotional stances may merely be a cover for a desire to win your approval. If you’ve feared changes in your financial affairs or intimate life, you may need to examine how this attitude has prevented you from growing and thriving. Keep your mind open and rise above fear-based suspicion for the best results.Aquarius
The Sun begins its month-long tour of your solar seventh house today, dear Aquarius, and your broader focus turns to partnerships, negotiations, and self-expression through your relationships. It’s an excellent time to examine your expectations of others. You’re also more sensitive to imbalances in your life, in general, and you may be seeking more harmony during this cycle that runs until August 22nd. Today, however, the Sun heads into opposition with Pluto, currently transiting your sign, presenting a hurdle to clear as you begin this transit. Buried emotions and possibly old regrets or hurts can emerge. If you’ve been shouldering far too much, it can strain your relationships or interactions. Aiming to stay open and flexible, which can be challenging to do right now but not impossible, puts you in a better position. If you find yourself dwelling on a small matter, examine what may be the actual source of frustration. While disruptive, this aspect can help pullup problems into the open.Pisces
The Sun begins its transit of your solar sixth house today, dear Pisces, turning your attention to practical matters, including your work, routines, and health, until August 22nd. You take special pride in your duties, daily affairs, health, and wellness, and it’s a good time to take charge of your routines. You can be especially busy getting your life into better order in the weeks ahead. However, the Sun heads into opposition with Pluto today, and you can make interesting discoveries about your feelings and fears. The trick is to recognize some of the things inside you that may be limiting your opportunities. Aim to tackle guilt, insecurities, or attachments that could be interfering with your productivity or proper routines and self-care. It’s a fine time to examine your fears, but it’s important not to give them more power than they already have by dwelling on them. Balancing your attention to mental and physical health or work and relaxation seems most important now. Working on what may be holding you back from taking better care of yourself is helpful and has the potential to greatly benefit you as you learn where to focus on making improvements.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
