Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
While you’ve been focusing on injecting more fun or romance into your life with the current Sun transit, dear Aries, Mercury is in your work and health sector, and you are gearing up to get some sorting and organizing done. Mercury transits this area of your solar chart in two steps: until August 14th and then from September 9-26. This gives you plenty of time to take care of business. It’s an excellent period for attention to detail, running errands, and organizing your work and routines. If you need to brush up on skills or gain specialized knowledge, this is an excellent period to do so. The technical side of a topic can be appealing, and you can do much information-gathering related to diet and health. Crafts, writing, specialized disciplines, and services can thrive now. For the best results, watch for a tendency to over-analyze, criticize, or worry about health. Today, learning something that helps move you forward can figure strongly, inspiring a sense of personal growth and drive.Taurus
Your need for downtime continues as the Moon moves through your privacy sector for part of the day, dear Taurus. But once the Moon enters your sign, you seek channels to express yourself. It’s a time to find your joy. Today is strong for connecting with people or projects you love. With Mercury now in your solar fifth house, you take a greater interest in creative expression, recreation, and perhaps the technical side of these things. Mercury transits this area of your chart in two steps: until August 14th and then later, from September 9-26. Intellectual creativity can be in strong focus. Relationships can be very verbal, and others are likely to find your ideas particularly appealing. In strong focus now are activities for having fun, impressing, creating, and sharing. You’re a little more dramatic in your speech and more inclined to give voice to your affections.Gemini
The Moon continues its transit of your social sector today, dear Gemini, and then moves into the final sector of your solar chart for a stay of just over two days. This move signals a need for more time to yourself or space to process, digest, heal, and rest. You’re inclined to go low-profile for now, but problem-solving can be natural. There is nice energy with you for talking things through. With Mercury transiting your home and family sector until August 14th, you’re talking and thinking about (and with) family far more than usual in the coming weeks. Instead, there can be more activity (primarily mental) in your home environment. You look at problems from their root or origin, which means you may take a little more time to come to decisions, but when they do come, they’re likely to be well-considered. You can be doing more reflecting on emotional issues from the past and your relationship with parents and siblings. This is more than mere reminiscence as you want to sort things out and make sense of everything. This Mercury transit comes in two parts, the first of which is happening now and until August 14th, and later, from September 9-26. Today holds fine energy for positive experiences and connections.Cancer
With the Moon continuing its transit of your solar tenth house today, dear Cancer, it’s natural to focus on long-range goals. However, you crave more recreation or a healthy diversion as the day advances. Friendly energy takes over, helping to ease some pressure. It’s a good time for intellectual companionship or stimulation. Mercury has only recently moved into your solar third house, where this messenger planet will transit until August 14th and then part two: from September 9th-26th. This sector of your chart rules communications, as does Mercury, so this can be an especially sharp, curious, communicative, and “mental” period for you. You are reaching out, learning, and connecting, and others will enjoy the attention you’re giving them. There can be much to do, think, and discuss during this busy cycle. However, you could have a short attention span for now!Leo
You continue to crave spirited activities or conversations today, dear Leo, but as the day advances, the Moon’s move to the top of your solar chart helps you tune into priorities. You’re more inclined to take care of business or perform at your best. Conversations are down-to-earth and useful today, and they’re often taking on these themes with Mercury currently transiting your solar second house. This transit lasts until August 14th, although it will return from September 9th to 26th, and during these cycles, you can draw upon more practicality and objectivity in your approach to spending, saving, and making money. Money, business, and income can be quite successfully analyzed now, and strong money-making ideas or strategies can be developed, particularly when you have the support of other planetary players. When under strain, however, it could be a time when you fret or worry over money and valuables.Virgo
While you can be in a reflective state of mind, dear Virgo, the Moon later heads into your spirit sector, and you crave more participation or activity. You are at greater ease expressing both your ideas and feelings as the Moon and Mercury harmonize. Mercury is currently transiting your sign, and it does so in two parts: until August 14th and later, from September 9th to 26th. These are the more communicative phases of the year, times when you’re not only reaching out more often but you’re also communicating with more impact. You might prefer to take the lead regarding mental or intellectual tasks and make executive decisions. You’re likely to find decision-making far more clear-cut in the weeks ahead, although Mercury’s upcoming retrograde period (starting August 5th in your sign) suggests some hesitancy or looking back is in order. It’s an inventive time when others notice you for your intelligence, wit, versatility, adaptability, and good humor. News and things you read or learn now affect you more powerfully than usual.Libra
The Moon continues to spotlight your relationships in the first half of the day, dear Libra, but then heads into your solar eighth house, and your need to observe and reflect kicks in. You gravitate to situations, people, and projects that engage your emotions. It’s a good time to articulate elements of your inner world. The Moon harmonizes with Mercury, currently transiting your sector of privacy, retreat, and reflection until the 14th. Mercury here suggests the weeks ahead are good for looking back and doing some important thinking. While Mercury’s transit of this sector of your solar chart lasts until August 14th, it returns from September 9th to the 26th. You’re seeing ordinary things a little differently at this time of the year — from an emotional or intuitive perspective. You might benefit from extra time spent alone or in private for mental tasks such as writing, reading, or contemplating. Talking with people anonymously or about private matters may figure strongly now. Wrapping up a project might be in focus.Scorpio
The focus continues to be on the details, your work, or your routine in the first half of the day, dear Scorpio. However, your focus becomes far more social as the day advances. You want to soak up ideas and inspiration from others. There’s something beneficial or valuable related to your social life now as the Moon harmonizes with Mercury, currently transiting your solar eleventh house. This Mercury transit is in effect until August 14th, but it will soon after return (from September 9th to the 26th). In the weeks ahead, your mind is more inventive and open, and you can be focused on happiness goals, dreams, wishes, and hopes. Sharing your thoughts is of strong interest, and your input and conversations are well-received. Group activities, friendships, and community events can be more compelling. It can be easier than usual to gain others’ cooperation or for your words to catch on.Sagittarius
The Moon emphasizes finding your joy in the first half of the day, dear Sagittarius, but you prefer to get down to business later when the Moon moves into your work and health sector. Taking care of details and paying attention to practical priorities or your wellness is appealing now. With the Moon’s trine to Mercury, you communicate and think comfortably and naturally about practical affairs. Mercury has recently begun its transit of your solar tenth house, where it will transit until August 14th. There will be a “part two” of this transit from September 9th to 26th. It’s a time to make the most of any training, advice, or new connections that can propel your career forward. You’re more aware of how your communications are being received, and it’s important to show your integrity. You may frequently be contemplating your life plan or big-picture goals, with the potential for public recognition.Capricorn
Today’s Moon continues to encourage you to settle in, dear Capricorn, but as the day advances, the Moon heads into your sector of joy and creativity, and it’s a time of the lunar month for enjoying yourself. You’re emotionally and mentally investing yourself in your heartfelt pursuits. The Moon harmonizes with Mercury, helping you express yourself comfortably. Mercury is transiting your spirit sector until August 14th, and you’re putting recent events and ideas into perspective rather than into compartments. It’s a great time for big ideas that come from thinking in broad terms but still need to be rounded out for practical implementation–that can come later! Instead, it’s a period of inspiration. There can be adventures or connections that expand your mind during this cycle. You are braver when sharing your ideas and opinions. Note that this transit occurs in two steps this year: until August 14th and later, from September 9th to 26th.Aquarius
Multitasking comes naturally in the first half of the day, dear Aquarius, but as the day advances, you seek more comfort, familiarity, and quiet. Domestic and personal matters take center stage, but you’re also communicative as the Moon harmonizes with Mercury. A slower pace works out well for you. Mercury has just recently begun its transit of your solar eighth house, positioning you to think and talk through matters of sharing, finances, psychology, and intimacy. It’s a wonderful time to research a matter further or delve into a pet project and thoroughly enjoy the process and your discoveries! Sometimes, you may be too focused on or even a bit obsessed with specific topics and ideas. Still, in moderation, this can be a powerful time to move a project along or learn important things about yourself and your relationships. Mercury is here until August 14th but will return to complete the transit from September 9th to 26th.Pisces
A practical, uncomplicated mood is with you today with the Moon’s transit of your solar second house in the first half of the day, dear Pisces. However, as the day advances, curiosity draws you to new experiences with the Moon’s move into your communications sector. The Moon harmonizes with Mercury, and you might benefit from others’ input and help. Mercury, the messenger planet, has just begun its transit of your partnership sector. Until August 14th, you’ll have the upper hand in negotiations, but the key is not to score intellectual points right now. Instead, your ability to consider the other side of the coin strengthens, which not only helps endear you to others but also allows for a new perspective. Decision-making may not be as easy since you’re seeing problems from different angles!* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
