All Times EST.

Leo

The Moon is in sensitive water sign Cancer today, so slow down and catch up on rest. Not only is the planet of the mind, Mercury, retrograde; sweet Venus is also shut down by taskmaster Saturn. This means you'll experience some difficulty communicating this evening.

Virgo

The Moon is in nurturing water sign Cancer today, Virgo, encouraging you to spend time with your friends and get involved in your community. However, watch out for cranky energy this evening.

Libra

The Moon in Cancer lights up the sector of your chart that rules your career and reputation, and tough topics are up for examination this morning. The vibe this evening isn’t any easier, as your ruling planet Venus clashes with grouchy Saturn.

Scorpio

The Moon is in fellow water sign Cancer tonight, encouraging you to see things from a different perspective. Save date night for a different day since scheduling difficulties and communication blocks mess up tonight’s vibe.

Sagittarius

The Moon in Cancer finds you in an intense mood today, and the energy is stressful tonight as sweet Venus clashes with taskmaster Saturn. A mood of rejection is in the air, but Sag, use this energy to let go of the past instead of trying to force things to happen.

Capricorn

The Moon is in your opposite sign Cancer today, illuminating the relationship sector of your chart—but save romance for another evening, since people are in a crappy mood tonight.

Taurus

Plenty of news comes your way today, thanks to the Moon in Cancer lighting up the communication sector of your chart. However, scheduling issues and sensitive feelings are in the air as your ruling planet Venus squares off with Saturn.

The Moon in Cancer finds you reflecting on money today. However, this evening isn’t a good time to make decisions about any purchases—or go on dates or try to make art, for that matter—due to Venus squaring off with grumpy Saturn.

Cancer

The Moon is in your sign and asking you to do things that connect you with your heart: spend time near water, cook with friends, or tap into your psychic abilities with the aid of a moonstone. Insecurity is in the air tonight, so save date night for another evening. What's in the stars for you in August? Read your monthly horoscope here. Want these horoscopes sent straight to your inbox?
