Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 10
Aries Horoscope
With Mercury in your solar sixth house these days, there can be more mental work or menial tasks in your life, dear Aries, and sometimes the details of your everyday life can be all-consuming when Mercury is challenged. This can happen today – you might feel a little scattered. Watch for nit-picking and nervous tension! Stifling situations and activities that restrict you seem more plentiful these days, but today you could feel a little caged in. Watch that you are not making changes simply for the sake of change. Focus instead on making changes that move you forward.
Taurus
With Mercury in your creative sector these days, dear Taurus, there can be more drama, playfulness, and fun in your communications. Today’s Mercury-Uranus clash may stir up some problems, however, possibly from something you say or how you’re interpreted by others. A relationship could feel a little competitive. Even so, surprises can bring interesting insight into your true feelings or could prompt a mental detour that leads to positive change. You don’t have to take others into your confidence if you aren’t ready to, but be as honest as possible with yourself for best results now. This is how you truly learn and grow.
Gemini
The Moon leaves your sign this morning, and enters your solar second house, dear Gemini. This position of the Moon tends to steady your emotions or at the very least calm your sense of urgency to meet emotional needs. However, with your ruler in communication with Uranus today, the desire to shake things up or to effect change can be with you. Know what needs changing and why, or you could just be stirring up trouble. Freedom issues with friends and balancing your social life with family or personal time can figure strongly now. Friends or networks could stimulate new ideas or could completely change your perspective on a matter.
Cancer
The Moon enters your sign this morning, dear Cancer, bringing any emotions that you’ve been brushing to the side up to the surface. With the Moon in your sign, your own needs are your primary concern, and if you’ve been ignoring them, you could feel a bit of an emotional flood now. There can be a lot of mental energy with you these days, or much busy work that keeps you on your toes. Today, this can serve to go too far, make you tense, and possibly even disrupt your workflow. Watch for impulsiveness in your speech and in transit if you’re feeling stressed out. However, pay attention to new ideas, which may be raw for now, but quite creative and even inspired.
Leo
The Moon entering your privacy sector this morning lends you a somewhat withdrawn manner today, dear Leo. This is a natural time for pulling back from the more demanding or competitive elements of your life in order to get some peace and to reconnect with yourself. There can be some pressure from the outside, and this can stir escapist feelings. Tend to your own needs and the demands on you in as balanced a manner as possible, because ignoring either can bring up guilt or leave you feeling behind. There may be some tendency to fret or worry over money and valuables. For some, there may be technical problems to deal with, particularly related to travel, publishing, money, and personal possessions.
Virgo
With Mercury in your sign these days, dear Virgo, you can find that you’re busier than usual, and perhaps have more decisions to make that you feel you must make on your own. Today, Mercury forms a challenging aspect with Uranus – a mild one, but it could be just enough that you feel restless. The trick is to find where you need to change up the routine. Try to give your mind a bit of a break, if you have the chance to, by exploring a new interest or simply getting a breath of fresh air. Insight into your finances or something in your intimate, inner life can come now. You might experience a moment of truth, or of motivation to kick a bad habit and to live a freer, more joyful life as a result.
Libra
With Mercury in your privacy sector and Venus retrograde these days, dear Libra, it’s especially important to know when you are crossing the line from analyzing the past in order to improve the present, to obsessing over things you cannot undo. Try not to go overboard. Nervous tension is possible now if you can’t seem to turn your mind “off”. Reduce stimulants and simplify your day as much as possible. This is not the time to jump into something without first considering your options. If you don’t know where you’re going, it doesn’t matter how fast you go, so try to slow down. The Moon moves into your professional sector this morning, and this can stimulate a need to shine, improve, and perform.
Scorpio
The Moon moves into your adventure sector this morning, dear Scorpio, and this shift tends to pull you out of yourself. It’s a time for experimenting and dreaming. Mercury in your solar eleventh house these days stimulates inventive and progressive thinking, but with its hard aspect to Uranus today, this may be taken out of bounds. Watch for jumping forward with ideas that are undeveloped or speaking too soon about a matter. Instead of developing the skills you need now, out of a bit of boredom, you could be wanting to jump into something new, but this may only serve to add too much to your life to the point that you are stressed and stretched out. You may need to mix up your routines in order to feel a little more engaged.
Sagittarius
The normal, usual routine may not seem very appealing today, dear Sagittarius, particularly on a mental level, as you can be feeling hungry for mental stimulation and new ideas. However, with too much going on around you, you may not be able to fully appreciate these things if they do emerge. As well, you may be ignoring the work that needs to be done simply because it’s not appealing for the moment. Try to breathe new life into your current projects and priorities rather than chasing excitement that may only serve to bog you down or leave you feeling behind.
Capricorn
This is a good time for dreaming up big ideas, dear Capricorn, but not necessarily for their practical implementation. This shouldn’t, of course, stop you from thinking about possibilities. What you may want to watch for today, however, is chasing different ideas and experiences just because you are a little restless or bored with what you’re doing. Try to simplify things rather than taking on more. Also, impatience in your communications or transit can lead to problems now. Listen to your urges, but judge whether you may be drawing conclusions too quickly. New ideas can draw you in, but it’s important to know whether you truly have room to pursue a whole new project or interest, and if not, whether you can make room for it.
Aquarius
You can be especially attracted to new ideas and topics of study right now, dear Aquarius, but in so doing you may be losing a lot of time for the things you need to do in order for your life to run smoothly. Taking on new things without truly making room for them can add a lot of unnecessary stress to your life. Satisfy your need for change and mental stimulation today in small, balanced ways, by changing up your routine or approaching the work you need to do in different ways. Try not to jump into decisions today, and avoid hasty remarks, emails, texts, and the like. It can be so easy for you to get caught up in the moment or in your own excitement that you temporarily lose touch with common sense. The Moon moves into your solar sixth house this morning for a couple of days, and this brings good energy for health and work endeavors.
Pisces
You could be making a surprise connection now, dear Pisces, that shakes up your perspective or line of thinking. This might occur while taking part in activities revolving around finances, such as while banking or shopping. Avoid jumping into new projects, particularly money-making ones, however. While you’re itching to change your situation, risky moves are not advised for the moment. People around you may be a little unreliable now, or they might come up with unusual news. People may be challenging your ideas or simply changing your view of them.
