Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 22nd

 

Aries

The Sun moves into your work and health sector, dear Aries, and will transit here for a month. It’s a good time to take charge of daily routines. You can be especially busy getting your life into better order now. Your ruler, Mars, moves out of its post-retrograde shadow today, and this can translate to more energy and direction. Mars is also moving towards an alignment with Saturn – an aspect that occurs only once every two years or so and that requires you to take responsibility for a matter. There is some tension to the day, especially if you feel the pace is not quick enough. There can be some annoying grunt work to take care of now.

Taurus

Today, the Sun enters the sector of your chart that rules your individuality and creative expression, dear Taurus, where it will transit until September 22nd. Mercury and Venus are already here, and with the Sun’s arrival, this is an exceptionally expressive and creative time for you. This is a “show and tell” house of your chart, and it’s a time for expressing your talents, abilities, and affections. A stronger urge is with you to create, put talents to use, show others what you can do, experience and enjoy romance, and partake of many of life’s pleasures. You are less cautious with your heart, and more spontaneous in your actions during this pleasing cycle. Today, try not to jump to conclusions or resort to tactics to get your way. Aim to get more information before making important decisions. A feeling of being resented by others is likely to pass quickly, but can be disconcerting.

Gemini

Today, the Sun is at the lowest point of your solar chart, dear Gemini, and a month-long transit of your solar fourth house begins now. During this cycle, strong reminders of your roots, home life, and loved ones motivate you. Focus is on your closest ties, foundation, or home life. This is a time for bringing healing and wholeness, as well as some refinement and organization, to your home life and family relationships. It’s a natural time for anchoring and nesting on a psychological level. It’s certainly not the most adventurous or outgoing cycle in the Sun’s journey through your chart, but it’s important for a sense of identity, comfort, and self-knowledge. Today, however, there can be some feelings of frustration as your plans might fall through or you could encounter delays. Watch for a tendency for some to be envious or devious. However, these are likely to be minor hurdles.

Cancer

The Sun moves into your communications sector today, dear Cancer, where it will spend time for a month. This is a busy, engaged period of the year for you. It’s a time of increased awareness of what needs to be repaired, healed, and improved in your personal environment, communications, and interactions with others. You may be looking towards subjects of study or topics of interest as ways to expand your knowledge, but also as means to define yourself more completely. With Mars in your work sector at the same time, you can be especially driven to organize, sort, and improve your daily life. Emotional energy is a little bit tense today, however, so keep your wits about you, and avoid undue stress over differences in opinion.

Leo

The Sun finishes its yearly, month-long transit of your sign today, dear Leo, and begins its transit of your resources sector until September 22nd. You’ll find that this cycle is an especially grounding one. It would benefit you to increase 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 – for building and developing these things. You could be motivated to take charge of your personal finances and extra care of your valuables. Today is a little tricky, however, as there can be some tensions with others, who may not be as cooperative or open to your ideas just for now.

Virgo

The Sun enters your sign today, dear Virgo, and will continue its visit until September 22nd. This is a time when you are especially noticeable and effective. If you’ve wanted to make changes to the personal image you project, then this is a superb time for doing so. It’s also a time for more impact and personal presence. Make the most of this period by being positive and believing in yourself, as this is the start of a new solar year. In just over a week, a Solar Eclipse will occur in your sign, reinforcing new beginnings and personal change. Today, there can be some power struggles with a lover, children, or friends, or nervous tension regarding same. These are likely to smooth out as you become more aware of fear or guilt motivating tense interactions.

Libra

The Sun begins its transit of your solar twelfth house today, dear Libra, and will continue to influence this area of your chart until September 22nd. Generally speaking and reinforced by Jupiter’s presence in your solar twelfth house, you quite readily help others out, and this trait is in strong focus now. It’s a yearly, month-long cycle that is necessary for reflection, rest, and recollection. 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. You may put some things behind you now if they’re no longer supportive. This can be a time of connecting with your more spiritual side, but for some, there can be a feeling of being a little lost temporarily. The Solar Eclipse in just over a week can help direct you. Today, there can be some underhanded or deceptive behavior to deal with. Aim to get things out in the open.

Scorpio

The Sun begins its transit of your solar eleventh house today, Scorpio, and will continue to influence this area of your chart until September 22nd. You are less concerned with career or life plan goals now, and increasingly interested in what makes you happy and how you fit in with others or contribute to the group/community. Socializing and networking can figure even more strongly in your life now. Involvement with a group or association can be in focus. You can be more actively participating and contributing, and can benefit from teamwork. While this can be a personally popular time, today there can be a feeling of being slighted or overlooked. Know that this may not bet the best time for pushing ahead with plans. As well, watch for a tendency to overindulge as an attempt to tame inner discontent.

Sagittarius

The Sun begins its transit of your reputation and career sector today, dear Sagittarius, and will continue to influence this area of your chart until September 22nd. The spotlight is on your performance now. You are more noticeable and accountable than usual during this cycle. You could assume more responsibilities now, and you can be especially goal-oriented or ambitious. You can come to a high point of the year in your career or reputation. People in positions of power are more likely to notice you and listen to you. Pride can help your reputation, but too much of it, of course, can be damaging now. Today, there can be some feelings of blocks. While you may want to push ahead with personal plans, you could encounter resistance. Do your best to take your time with new initiatives and avoid depending on someone to help you out, just for the time being.

Capricorn

The Sun begins its transit of your sector of adventure and spirit today, dear Capricorn, and will continue to influence this area of your solar chart until September 22nd. This area of your solar chart has been busy recently, so you’re no stranger to its spirited, spontaneous energy, but with the Sun here now, you’re likely to want to take action or take charge. It’s an excellent cycle in which to lift yourself above your usual routines, even in little ways, so that you can better consider the bigger picture. You are more adventurous and curious. You might do more studying, learning, and venturing out and about. Your aspirations and ideals are stronger driving forces in your life now. Today, however, you could feel subtly undermined. Avoid negative thinking as much as possible. You are a little more sensitive to criticism today, but once you take some time to recollect yourself, you might find that it serves to motivate you to better yourself or your situation.

Aquarius

The Sun begins its transit of your solar eighth house today, dear Aquarius, and will continue to influence this area of your chart until September 22nd. This is a time of year when you might be going through some form of self-transformation. There can be determination to get rid of a bad habit or self-defeating attitude so that you gain more personal power and a stronger sense of personal accomplishment. Changes, both inner and outer, tend to occur now that remind you that you’re growing, not stagnating. There can be increased focus on intimate connections and sharing, and for some of you, financial or emotional support are important topics in your life now. Today, however, there can be some tensions in interpersonal relationships if you or a partner focuses on the negative, which is a tendency now.

Pisces

The Sun begins its transit of your partnership sector today, dear Pisces, and will continue to influence this area of your chart until September 22nd. You are drawn to others during this cycle, and there can be a spotlight on close friendships and partnerships. You can learn a lot about yourself and your life through others now, as they can provide a mirror to certain aspects of yourself that you haven’t been clearly seeing until now. This is a time when compromise and negotiation tend to serve you best. Today, however, there can be some tension in your social life. Responsibilities can be weighing heavier than usual, and you may be tempted to take a shortcut. However, obstacles encountered now can stimulate inventive thinking and new approaches.
