Horoscopes
Aries
This is a potentially strong day for bonding with others, dear Aries, and for getting to know yourself a little better in the process. You instinctively hone in on others’ desires and are quick to fill them. You are perceptive on an ordinary day, but today, this trait is even stronger. Your ability to read between the lines skyrockets. There can be a nice win involving research, work, or finances now as a result of your stronger inclination and ability to investigate and deduce.
Taurus
This is a strong day for relationships of all kinds, dear Taurus, but particularly love connections. You are in a good position to negotiate and compromise with all parties leaving feeling well taken care of. You are fair and reasonable now, and people find you quite hard to resist! You are craving a little more togetherness, harmony, and shared pleasure. You seek out companionship today and are willing to bend things around to meet others’ needs and wants.
Gemini
You might enjoy cooperating with others towards a common goal today, dear Gemini. You instinctively know how to delegate fairly and make everyone feel happy to contribute. Organizing work or home affairs can be very rewarding and successful now. You’ll feel more in control of your life in general if you can take care of the smaller details and manage or improve routines and schedules today. Your ability to get your work and chores done well is the key to a feeling of empowerment right now.
Cancer
You are in a fantastic position to share your ideas and connect with others harmoniously today, dear Cancer. Cooperation brings rewards and possibly some meaningful feedback. You’ve eased out of a brief self-protective phase, and you’re approaching your world with more outgoing energy and desire for action. It’s easy for you to persuade others to go along with your plans today. Bonding with a loved one also comes quite naturally and readily now.
Leo
Getting along well with others helps you advance your goals today, dear Leo, so don’t overlook the need to appeal to people around you. There may be monetary gains involved, or you might enjoy encouraging feedback for your work or talents. Even so, you are drawn to activities that bring you comfort and a nice feeling of familiarity today. The Moon’s move to the bottom of your solar chart reminds you of the benefits of connecting with your home base and feeding your desire for security and comfort.
Virgo
This is a potentially positive day for advancing your interests, dear Virgo. Being diplomatic, getting along well with others, and seeking out mutual benefits in any negotiation are essential to the rewarding energy of the day. You may be able to cut a good deal with someone, make a satisfying connection, or you might simply enjoy a fruitful conversation. You have the ability to communicate with others, and everyone comes out feeling a winner.
Libra
The Moon’s move out of your sign early into the day can settle your emotions, dear Libra. You have more patience to play with today. You’re also in a strong position for drawing upon hunches and intuition to forward business and money-related ideas. Good instincts might lead to making a solid purchase or coming across a nice find. Diplomacy and cooperation are also essential for success today, and fortunately, these are your specialties!
Scorpio
Good energy is with you for feeling supported and for getting along well with friends, dear Scorpio. Mutually beneficial connections may be made now. The Moon moves into your sign shortly into the day and brings up unresolved feelings to the surface. It’s a good time to focus on any emotional needs you’ve recently neglected or brushed to the side. You do well with a cause and a plan today. Diplomacy goes a long way right now, and you tend to sense this intuitively.
Sagittarius
This can be a powerful day for gaining new information that was previously hidden or simply not obvious to you, dear Sagittarius. This might aid you on the job or in your relationships with others. It’s also likely to be a good time to reflect back on previous projects that worked well for you. You may very well draw upon the past and pull out an idea that can be reworked and repurposed successfully. The day’s energies favor quiet but purposeful activities. There are days for rocking the boat, but today isn’t one of them. Riding the waves makes more sense right now.
Capricorn
This can be a pleasantly passionate day for new ideas, opinions, learning, making connections, and friendships, dear Capricorn. Working with others cooperatively fares much better than competitive activities right now, but you are also very interested in growing and improving through your connections to people. You might gain an edge in a social or learning situation today. Life is a little easier when you share today, so take advantage.
Aquarius
This can be a rewarding day for financial and professional interests, dear Aquarius, or simply for working towards your goals. Cooperating with others comes easily and helps you to gain an edge. You are unusually perceptive today, and your good understanding of people can be put to good use. People tend to want to support you or help you out today. It can also be a fine time to bond with people you care about, whether or not you’re working towards something specific, but you’ll find that you get more done with others than you do alone today.
Pisces
You stand to gain a lot through your dealings with others today, dear Pisces, and you fare particularly well in one-to-one situations – with a partner, counselor, or the like. Sharing beliefs and ideas can be a bonding experience right now. Issues of equality in relationships can be in focus today, and your powers of negotiation are better than usual. You may be helping to build links between others, not only building your own relationships. Your spirit to learn and improve is strong, and motivation may very well be a special person in your life.

Event: Tr-Tr Ven Sxt Jun
Description: Transiting Venus Sextile Transiting Juno
Relationships are mutually beneficial and naturally equal, fair, and balanced. There can be a stronger inclination towards togetherness and sharing.
Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
LEO STRONG
Self-confident, generous, warm-hearted, powerful leader, dramatic. Can be overly proud, vain, extravagant, arrogant.
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE STRONG
Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
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: CRESCENT
Moon 45 to 90 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an eager, impulsive, and progressive time. We are motivated and ready to take on challenges.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 9th:
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).
