Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

The Sun moves into your work and health sector today, dear Aries, and until September 22nd, the spotlight is on duties, service, health, daily affairs, and personal habits or routines. You’re taking more pride and interest in these things, which stirs your desire to improve them. Taking care of details can be important to you in the weeks ahead. Keep in mind that Mercury remains retrograde until the 28th, so brand-new initiatives may not take off, but you can certainly work on building, tweaking, and organizing your work in meaningful ways. Tensions tend to rise today, however. The desire for more attention to your personal interests is strong, but you also want to take care of business. It can be challenging to be productive without succumbing to distractions, and there can be a tendency to take things very personally. Interactions can be loaded. Somebody may be using a rough or insensitive approach, or on the opposite end, an approach that isn’t straightforward enough, and a disconnect ensues. Differences today ideally lead to new insights and fine-tuning that improves matters. For now, there can be some unrest. Aim to observe rather than jump into action.

Taurus

The Sun heads into your romance and leisure sector today, dear Taurus, where it will visit until September 22nd. It’s the start of a month-long expressive and creative cycle that encourages you to invest in more enjoyment. It’s a show-and-tell house of your chart so that expressing your talents, abilities, and affections comes naturally in the weeks ahead. A stronger urge is with you to create, show others what you can do, experience and enjoy romance, and partake of many of life’s pleasures. Mercury’s retrograde until the 28th can slow you down in this respect since Mercury rules this sector of your solar chart. Nevertheless, it’s a playful, magnetic period for you. While this move evens out your mood, a Venus-Mars aspect can stir up dissatisfaction today. Feelings can run hot and cold, and timing can be quite off on a social level temporarily. Boundaries might be pushed, and possessiveness or competitiveness can be themes. It’s best not to mix emotions and practical matters right now. It may be a good strategy to aim to give others the benefit of the doubt and to avoid jumping into or out of something too quickly.

Gemini

Today, the Sun heads to the lowest point of your solar chart, dear Gemini, and a month-long transit of your solar fourth house begins. During this cycle, potent reminders of your roots, home life, and loved ones motivate you. The focus is on your closest ties, foundation, or home life, and it can be a time for bringing healing and wholeness, as well as some refinement and organization, to your home life and family relationships. It’s a period of anchoring and nesting on a psychological level. While not the most adventurous or outgoing cycle in the Sun’s journey through your chart, it’s important for a sense of identity, comfort, and self-knowledge. Today, however, a Venus-Mars transit can highlight areas of dissatisfaction or disagreement. Since impulsive Mars is currently in your sign, it can affect you more than others, and others might be pushing your buttons. Instead, if you’re feeling a little on edge or unsatisfied, the temptation to rile others up can come on. Aim to detach yourself just enough to stay calm and work things out. However, pay attention to what’s emerging from within since you may revisit unresolved problems later.

Cancer

The Sun heads into your communications sector today, dear Cancer, where it will visit for a month–until September 22nd. This is a busy, engaged period of the year for you. You can be looking to heal, repair, and improve your communications, interactions, connections, and daily life. This period is more about discovery and branching out than specializing, and it can be rewarding. Certainly, you might often be distracted as you follow your curiosity in the weeks ahead. Emotional energy is a little bit tense today, however, and it may be best to avoid undue stress. A Venus-Mars square can stir up some frustrations. You’re not on the same wavelength as someone, making it tricky to interact in healthy ways. You may want to wait out making important decisions since it’s hard to be objective right now. These temperamental conditions can seem random, but they could also push problems that have already been brewing to the surface, bringing issues to light. Quicker resolutions become possible. Consider that sudden desires may mask the real root of a problem today, and aim to look deeper.

Leo

The Sun ends its yearly transit of your sign today, dear Leo, and begins its visit to your resources sector, where it will stay until September 22nd. The cycle ahead of you is grounding, and it’s great for activities that remind you of the importance and beauty of the “here and now.” It’s also a time for making the most of your natural talents and abilities. Building and developing can be especially attractive. You could be motivated to take charge of your personal finances and take extra care of your prized possessions. It’s a fine time to get in better touch with what you have, both material and spiritual resources. Today is a little tricky, with tensions more prominent than usual. You might feel pressure to do something different or seek out something new, but without a clear direction, you can feel restless. Clashes are possible if impatience takes over. Although a Venus-Mars can be challenging, it’s better to get in touch with your true desires so that restlessness doesn’t lead you astray. Desires that come on suddenly and insistently are more likely to arise from boredom than true need or want under this influence.

Virgo

The Sun begins its yearly, month-long visit, dear Virgo, and you’re at a personal peak of sorts until September 22nd. You feel more in charge of your life, and you might experiment with a new look, style, or image. You are more inclined to take mindful action rather than simply react to what is happening around you. This cycle begins a new “birthday year,” and when your birthday does occur, remind yourself that you have more power than usual to make resolutions and to make changes that truly improve your life. As more attention comes to you, you naturally want to get your act together. You are more readily attracting what you need into your life now. Of course, Mercury is still retrograde until the 28th, so aim to ease into your new beginnings after that date. As the day advances, a Venus-Mars square brings some impatient, brusque, or demanding energy. Touchy situations and people can be challenging to navigate. Try not to burn yourself out by pushing too hard or expecting instant results. Aim not to talk ahead of yourself or jump into action too quickly based solely on momentary feelings and impulses. Rising above conflicts is possible with some patience. Remind yourself that desires coming on suddenly today may not be a true reflection of what you want or need.

Libra

The begins its transit of the most private, tucked-away sector of your chart today, dear Libra, and will continue to transit this solar house until September 22nd. This cycle emphasizes the need to look back, reflect, and reconsider before you move forward with personal plans. Your goals can be unclear or in need of refinement. You may be bringing some matters to a close in the weeks ahead. It can be a slower process to make decisions temporarily. It’s a period for a tidy-up on an emotional, spiritual, or mental level and a yearly cycle of rest and reflection. You are gathering your strength for busier times to come but also reflecting upon recent events and shedding attitudes and situations that have run their natural course. Today, a Venus-Mars square can generate some impatience. You could become frustrated with someone on an idea or belief, especially if they seem to be shooting you down or not catching on to what you intend to say. Listening skills are sub-par with this transit! Taking personal offense at intellectual disagreements can be an issue. You may want to escape but can’t settle on how to do so. A tense atmosphere can make looking past small problems and challenges difficult temporarily.

Scorpio

The Sun begins its transit of your solar eleventh house today, dear Scorpio, and will continue to visit this area of your solar chart until September 22nd. The emphasis on career or life plan goals is fading as you begin to focus more on your happiness goals. In the weeks ahead, you can be more actively participating and contributing. You can benefit from teamwork. While this can be a personally popular time, today, there can be a feeling of being slighted or overlooked. Later today, a Venus-Mars square might also stir up dissatisfaction. A situation can leave you feeling unappreciated or put upon, and you might end up annoyed. Feelings are complicated, and whether you want to keep things light or go deep can be hard to know at the moment. There can be competitive energy at play in your relationships.

Sagittarius

The Sun begins its transit of your solar chart’s career, responsibility, and reputation sector, dear Sagittarius, and will visit until September 22nd. What you do and how you perform are the focus of this cycle. In the weeks ahead, you might take on new responsibilities or feel more ambitious and focused on achievement and setting goals. Pride can improve your reputation as you put more effort into managing things, but too much of it will have the opposite effect during this cycle. While this is a take-charge time for professional and public efforts, Mercury is still retrograde until the 28th, and it’s best to take your time with new initiatives. Today’s Venus-Mars square can stir up discontent or a disagreement. Ideally, unrest motivates you to make improvements. Reactions can be quick, and people may be working on a short fuse. While there can be a temperamental or competitive tone with this transit, you’re gaining deeper insight into your work, goals, or ambitions through a bit of trial and error. As much as you may want to take action, listening and observing are more likely to serve you well.

Capricorn

The Sun begins its month-long transit of your sector of adventure and spirit today, dear Capricorn, and will visit until September 22nd. This cycle is excellent for spirited, spontaneous activities and activities that help you promote, share, explore, and discover. Moving out of your routine occasionally is essential during this cycle to get a sense of the bigger picture. It can be a good time to study and learn more. It’s an excellent period for expanding your experiences, mind, and interests. You could be branching out in a relationship or with a particular pursuit. Something about this cycle stirs your desire to better your situation in life in meaningful ways or to reach a higher level of freedom and well-being. Today, there’s a tendency to dwell on problem areas rather than release them constructively. A Venus-Mars square stirs up areas of dissatisfaction. Be protective of information or feelings that you typically want to keep quiet, as there is an impulsive tendency that could be cause for later regret. Even so, friction today can lead to new insights and a better understanding of yourself and others.

Aquarius

The Sun begins its transit of your solar eighth house today, dear Aquarius, where it will visit until September 22nd. It’s a time of year for more concentrated focus. You might go through changes, such as eliminating a bad habit or self-defeating attitude, as you want to grow and evolve. There can be an increased focus on intimate connections, sharing, and financial or emotional support. Today, there can be some tensions in interpersonal relationships, however, as the Sun forms an awkward angle to Pluto in your sign and Venus squares Mars. These transits can pull up some discontent or unrest. While informative, it can also be frustrating! Sudden desires and urges deserve a second look, as they’re unlikely to address genuine needs. People are impulsive and more disagreeable right now. Tricky areas tend to involve the sharing of money or responsibilities. While frustrations may have been building for some time, impatience to handle matters can overcome you today. Aim to wait until today’s tensions subside before drawing firm conclusions.

Pisces

The Sun moves into your partnership sector today, dear Pisces, where it will visit until September 22nd. This cycle puts the spotlight on close friendships or partnerships. Through special people and feedback, you see yourself and your life more clearly in the weeks ahead. You take more pride in how you get along with others and how well you find harmony and balance in your environment. Today’s transits are a little tense in spots, however. Areas of discontent seem more pronounced, and you can experience contradictory feelings and desires. There can be tensions, unrest, and perhaps emotional fireworks, particularly in family relationships and partnerships. It’s important to remember to seek harmony and balance in these interactions, as this will bring reassurance and focus, but it may take some time to realize. You may be dealing with impatience or what seems to be bad timing temporarily. Save important ideas or topics for an easier, more flowing time if possible.

Today’s Lunar Phase

LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON

Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.

We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships and are made aware of recent imbalances. Something can come to fruition. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 22nd:

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).

QUINCUNX NEPTUNE Orb 0°45′ Separating

Dreaming, creating, and imagining have better results than hard decision making right now. There can be a temporary loss/lack of clarity. We can be questoning whether what we are doing or pursuing feeds our spiritual needs. Make adjustments if there is a discrepancy.

URANUS

URANUS IN TAURUS

(1934 – 1942) We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn how to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge. We’re less inhibited about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. We’re challenging what we previously valued. There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. We’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money are likely. Income and the energy we put into making money can be variable. (May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, then March 6, 2019, to July 7, 2025, and then November 7, 2025, to April 25, 2026).

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).
