General Daily Insight for August 14, 2024

Flying off the handle is a real risk now. When anxious Mercury in Virgo misreads withholding Pluto, facts may be hard to obtain. As combative Mars then conjoins puffed-up Jupiter, we might decide to move forward based on nothing more than what we’ve already assumed! The passionate Sagittarius Moon opposes both Jupiter and Mars, amping up our emotions. After retrograde Mercury returns to big-picture Leo at 8:16 pm EDT, revisiting past events could show us important things we missed the first time around.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

Getting involved in an argument about politics and religion could be enticing today. While the volatile Moon in your philosophical 9th house stirs up trouble with aggressive Mars in your 3rd House of Communication, maybe the issue in question doesn’t even matter that much to you — you’re just looking for a fight! Is that the only way you feel like you can express yourself? You do deserve a creative outlet, but there are probably less contentious options you should consider.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

You’re potentially a big spender today! As powerful Mars and abundant Jupiter unite in your 2nd House of Resources, you may feel like you have enough to take care of yourself plus some to spare. Perhaps you’ll be interested in giving your excess to someone who’s less fortunate. Keep in mind that this isn’t automatically harmless for your relationship with that person — especially if you’re trying to gain emotional security by inviting them to depend on you. A stronger foundation might come from within.

Gemini

May 21 – June 20

The boisterous way you present yourself could rub someone else the wrong way today. Does that mean you’ve done anything objectively wrong? Not necessarily! As the delicate Moon in your relationship zone opposes rough Mars in your sign, having that fight with the other person probably won’t go anywhere productive. They’re allowed to have preferences that are different from your own — and that might be all the issue is. You’re better off figuring out how to give each other more space.

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

A money issue you thought was resolved could come up for review at this time. As detail-oriented Mercury spins backward into your 2nd House of Finances, you’ll likely have to work carefully to unsnarl any new developments. There’s potentially a significant payoff for you if you’re patient, though. Someone with the ability to help you sort things out might not want a lot of attention drawn to their efforts, so use discretion if you approach them — don’t scare them away!

Leo

July 23 – August 22

You might presently feel like a friend group or organization you belong to is pushing you around. Perhaps the root issue is that they’ve assumed something about you that isn’t true. As verbal Mercury retrogrades into your identity sector, it’s time to correct such misconstructions. Speaking up isn’t always fun, but it’s probably the only way you’ll change the dynamic. If the wrong information was true in the past, you may need to acknowledge that — you can’t wipe it off the record entirely!

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

An intense push for success could currently be rewarding. That said, are you actually entirely comfortable with this? While the vulnerable Moon in your 4th House of Nurturing opposes driven Mars in your ambition sector, you might be acutely aware that some of your personal needs are getting lost in the shuffle. Your reactions are valid, but they don’t all need to be aired publicly. For the time being, you may be better off intentionally accepting certain sacrifices in service of your goal.

Libra

September 23 – October 22

You may be more open than usual about your personal views on a recent controversial topic. As retrograde Mercury shifts into your 11th House of Community, this could lead to some turbulence in your social network. A friend or organization you belong to might decide that the gulf between your opinion and theirs is too big to bridge. Even so, maybe the truth needed to come out. That’s the only way that the people you’re better suited to will be able to find you!

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21

Someone else could make a generous offer to you now. No matter how tempted you are by any obvious benefits being dangled before you, what are the strings attached? Due to calculating Mercury slipping back into your 10th House of Authority, it can be easy to give away your personal power without realizing that you’re doing it. Your potential benefactor may tend to think of you as a victim who is vulnerable and helpless, but you aren’t required to agree with them.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

A relationship dynamic could currently seem to be out of balance. While the sensitive Moon in your sign tangles with pushy Mars in your partnership zone, you may feel as though the other person has more than their share of power. Letting them know how they’re hurting you emotionally might be appealing. Conversely, what do you believe should be happening? Make sure your expectations are reasonable, and then try to give your counterpart a clear picture of what you’re looking for.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

Getting a lot of work done is possible now. With dynamic Mars conjoining grandiose Jupiter in your productive 6th house, you may simply have more energy than usual. Still, you might secretly resent that you seem to be held responsible beyond your rightful share for a situation that others also have a stake in. They’re not necessarily taking the whole thing as seriously as you are, so you don’t have to worry that they’re judging you. Feel free to ask them (politely) to pitch in!

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

Comparing your performance to that of your peers might motivate you right now. There’s a chance that seeing things in this way is what you need to do. All things considered, will you be able to handle it if someone else picks up on your competitive vibes and responds in kind? The emotional energy you put out is potentially more visible than you think. It’s not objectively wrong to bring these feelings out into the open, but doing so can add complications to your life.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

You may currently be conflicted about the kind of work that’s best for you. Should you prioritize status or security? While potent Mars and protective Jupiter come together in your comfort-oriented 4th house, building a firm foundation and avoiding excessive risk might have a stronger draw. It’s okay to pursue a professional path that isn’t seen as glamorous if it meets other needs for you. Anyone who would judge you harshly for making that decision doesn’t have to live your life!
