Horoscopes

Aries

Shortcuts taken early today can cost you more time later on, dear Aries. As the day moves forward, however, you’re certainly more inclined to deal with problem areas head-on. Mars is moving to an alignment with Saturn, and this influence has been pending for some time. Now, you’re facing an important reality and putting a responsibility behind you. This is a time for getting over a major hump in your life. Do your best to focus on a game plan or strategy rather than dwelling on the frustration of the moment’s obstacles. You’re putting your life into better order now, and this will ultimately be a relief. Work hard today, if possible, as much as you’d prefer to pursue your interests in a freeform manner. Tune out the distractions and put in the effort so that you can put difficult situations behind you.

Taurus

There may be a reality to face or hurdle to clear this week, dear Taurus, as Mars moves towards its alignment with Saturn. This can be a time for pushing yourself harder than usual to make money and to get some work done, possibly to make up for past procrastination! Do aim to focus your energies on problems that can be solved with a step-by-step approach. Traditional methods are likely to work best. Drama in your personal life is possible, but avoid getting caught up in a tug of war when your energy could be better utilized elsewhere. Work on sorting things out, debugging plans, tending to details, and reviewing recent life issues with maturity and realism. You may not feel like putting in the work in a relationship right now, but consider doing it for the long-term benefits.

Gemini

This is a strong time for putting real effort into a major practical pursuit, dear Gemini. However, it may not be entirely enjoyable. It’s important to focus on the end goal rather than the frustration of the tasks at hand. Putting extra effort into a relationship can be in focus for many of you. Others may seem to be blocking you or adding hurdles to your path. Responsibilities to others can feel weighty. The reality of a relationship or person in your life can hit hard. Be patient, mature, and responsible now for best results – these are traits that will be rewarded with Saturn a strong influence on your chart. If a relationship withstands pressure, this can be a time for coming up with a new and improved plan to go forward.

Cancer

You are increasingly more practical in your mindset today, dear Cancer. In fact, this can be a powerful time for solving problems, getting work done, and getting over emotional hurdles. You could be working particularly hard at improving your living or working conditions. Look for signs of what you need to eliminate in order to move forward in the best possible way. Putting in extra effort, following the rules, and facing realities are all important now and will lead to good things, even if you’d rather be doing something else! Facing up to facts with work and health matters can be in focus now, and this allows you to make solid, realistic plans of action.

Leo

While there may be some hurdles to clear now, dear Leo, it can be easier to meet goals with a stronger sense of purpose motivating you. In your romantic or creative life, there may be a reality that you need to face.
Some level of seriousness is present, or necessary, in your interactions. Use self-discipline now. Concern yourself less with whether you’ve made the right choices in the past and more on your current path. New and perhaps uncomfortable information about a friend or lover, or complicated logistics of a relationship or creative project, could emerge now. Take the time to digest things rather than reacting too quickly. This is a time for drawing up solid plans and taking things one step at a time based on new, more realistic information.

Virgo

Mars meeting with Saturn in your sector of heart, home, and family today and tomorrow can play out in a number of ways, dear Virgo. Serious energy may surround household matters now, or there can be hard work involved with getting a problem area handled, perhaps due to some neglect of this area in the past. Those close to you can be very touchy and sensitive now, and may be acting from a place of fear or jealous feelings. You may need to face a reality surrounding debts, shared finances, or a housing issue. On the other hand, while there can be some heavy hours put in, you may be actively working on improving your living conditions or home life now, and this can point to long-term benefits. Focus should be on strengthening and rebuilding.

Libra

Tension with others is possible now, dear Libra, but it can also be highly motivating to make improvements. You have added power for actualizing your dreams, but you are faced with the need to take responsibility for past mistakes, follow the rules, and put in hard work. News can arrive that prompts you to get serious about a matter, or conversations occur about serious issues. You are likely to recognize that there are plenty of details that need attention. Approach problems one at a time and step by step, even if you’d rather skip through things more quickly. Computers, phones, and vehicles may need repair now. Difficulties getting your ideas across can lead to better or improved channels for communication. Aim to liberate yourself from unrealistic dreams by facing facts.

Scorpio

With Mars and Saturn meeting up in your resources sector, dear Scorpio, it’s a strong time for facing financial realities and for examining what you’re capable of doing to overcome obstacles. Consider that your life will improve as you see reality and stop living in fear of what might or might not happen. Activities that enhance your feeling of being on top of things and in charge of your life can be in focus now. Hard work may be involved. Following the rules makes the most sense for the time being. You might need to concentrate in order to handle a financial matter. It’s about taking more control over your money and decreasing debt. As well, you may be recognizing that you can do just fine on your own. Aim to expect more, but not too much, from yourself now.

Sagittarius

Mars and Saturn align in your sign, dear Sagittarius, and this can serve as a reminder to take better care of yourself, follow the rules, be thorough, and take matters step by step so that you get things right. You may need to get serious about a personal matter. You might feel as if you are left to your own resources, but should also discover that you can hold your own. Try to tune out drama as much as possible and focus on the practical. Be conservative in your approach for best results now. Get to a state where you have a strong sense of what you can and cannot do. Bringing more realism into the picture is the key to feeling empowered now. Aim for self-discipline and consider the long-term benefits of a slow and steady approach.

Capricorn

With Mars and Saturn coming into alignment in the sign just behind yours, dear Capricorn, you may face owning up to an issue that you swept under the carpet or otherwise neglected or overlooked in the past. You might need to make a personal sacrifice in order to help out someone else. You might feel overlooked or overruled now, but you can also build quite a bit of strength from either realization, as it can motivate you to make significant changes. The need to be patient can emerge today and tomorrow. In fact, this is a time that favors long-term plans and strategies rather than giving in to the sensations of the moment. Focus on building strength and devising long-term strategies for reaching real goals, as you see these more clearly now.

Aquarius

Considering your limits is important now as Mars and Saturn meet, dear Aquarius. This aspect can come as a potent reminder of a rule or responsibility, or possibly an obligation to a group or friend. You may need to face the fact that one of your dreams or an ideal needs some refinement due to practical considerations. Some of you may need to get tough with a friend, or to face a sobering reality about a friendship. Avoid wasting time navigating the tricky waters of power dynamics, and instead, adopt a step-by-step approach to solving a practical problem. The need to be mature can emerge now, and is your very best bet for facing difficulties or obstacles right now.

Pisces

Watch for pushing yourself too hard now, dear Pisces, but do put in some real effort now with Mars and Saturn joining at the top of your solar chart, dear Pisces. A conservative, step by step, law-abiding approach in business is necessary now. You may need to lay down the law if you’re in a position of authority. The practical side of your endeavors is what you’re taking particular interest in, and you can come up with some very workable long-term strategies. The key is to be patient and focus on the goal. It might be necessary to make some personal sacrifices in order to get over a hurdle. Eliminating waste in your professional life can be especially helpful now, and you may need to face the reality or viability of a project/goal to know your next step.

*Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes

TAURUS STRONG
Stable and enduring, strong values, unyielding, earthy, acquisitive, strong desires. Can be stuck, stubborn, overly possessive, self-indulgent.
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.

BALANCE OF ELEMENTS

EARTH STRONG
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.
WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.

BALANCE OF MODES

CARDINAL WEAK
This is not a time that we tend to naturally initiate actions. We may be stronger at following up than starting anew. Survival mechanisms may be weaker now.
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.

Current Lunar Phase

LUNAR PHASE: DISSEMINATING
Moon 135 to 90 degrees behind the Sun.
Sharing our knowledge with the world is a major motivation at this stage. We believe we have gained much knowledge and wisdom through our experiences, and want to ensure others have the benefit as well.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 23rd:

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 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).
