General overview of the day of August 02, 2024
Excitement is on the menu all day long. As passionate Venus squares wild Uranus at 9:27 a.m. EDT, we may be tempted to ditch boring plans in favor of unexpected pleasure-seeking opportunities. That said, even as the sensitive Moon in Cancer engages with responsible Saturn and touchy Chiron, decisions like these aren’t guaranteed to be universally popular—some may interpret the cancellation as a personal rejection. We should treat others as we would want to be treated, even if we think they’re being unreasonable.
Ram
March 21 – April 19
A financial decision you make today may feel risky. With abundant Venus in your speculative 5th house square impulsive Uranus in your 2nd house of resources, you may be hoping for a big win to pull you out of a rut. It’s true that your insecurities could play a role in fueling this approach. However, your strategy potentially makes more sense than it first appears. As you move forward, be sure to prioritize unfolding facts over your initial hopes.
Bull
April 20 – May 20
You may know that relying on loved ones makes your current life easier in some ways. However, as peacekeeper Venus in your nurturing fourth house clashes with independent Uranus in your sign, you may be drawn to do something that upsets this balance. Your inner desires aren’t necessarily meant to attack anyone else, but they can still be troublesome to others. Friends with whom you’re less intimately involved may be able to provide some stability while you figure things out.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
An exciting conversation can seem to take shape at any moment. When fun-loving Venus in your communication zone provokes disruptive Uranus in your 12th House of Secrets, private information may slip out of your mind while you’re enjoying the atmosphere. Such a disclosure can have social consequences for you! Yet, it may be just what you need to move forward in some way. Don’t spend too much time second-guessing yourself: not everything that’s true can necessarily stay hidden forever.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Your friends may seem bold and daring today. Perhaps you feel some pressure to follow them. Letting others guide you on a journey you wouldn’t otherwise take can sometimes be rewarding. That said, going along with someone else’s plan because you feel like you don’t have the freedom to choose your path can breed resentment. It’s okay to have different values and financial priorities than the people around you!
Leo
July 23 – August 22
You may currently make it a top priority to have people think well of you. On the other hand, you may be doing something truly disruptive. With approval-seeking Venus in your sign clashing with revolutionary Uranus in your ambitious tenth house, you may not be able to have it both ways. Even good and necessary changes are not always popular when they happen. Acting more discreetly might reduce some of the tension you’re facing, but eliminating the discomfort entirely is probably not possible.
Virgin
August 23 – September 22
Going on an adventure may seem like an obligation now. Perhaps you would be more comfortable resting quietly. As relaxed Venus in your contemplative 12th house challenges chaotic Uranus in your travel sector, you will need to think critically about any offer that comes your way. An opportunity is not an obligation, it is just a possibility. The companions who are truly right for you should be able to live with what you decide, so don’t worry too much about their judgment.
Balance
September 23 – October 22
Pushing the boundaries of a friendship can be more stressful than you think. As the impressionable Moon in your career-oriented 10th house aligns with practical Saturn in your work-oriented 6th house, you may have recently decided to take a step back and turn a personal relationship into a professional one. A coworker is different than a friend, and you both need to acknowledge that. Focus on what’s needed here and now instead of trying to stick with a dynamic that’s worked between you in the past.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
You have the opportunity to make strides professionally right now. That said, as Venus in your tenth house of career shakes up Uranus, which is uneasy in your partnership area, even a generally positive change could disrupt one of your close relationships. You may need to spend some time reorganizing how you share daily responsibilities with this person. The best outcome might require you to challenge your beliefs about how the world is supposed to work. Stay focused on results.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
It may be necessary to free yourself from your responsibilities to do something fun. Of course, you probably won’t be able to transcend reality completely. You may need to work things out with someone at home. Fortunately, as the compassionate Moon in your sharing sector harmonizes with logical Saturn in your domestic 4th house, you have the opportunity to do this in the most rational way possible. You may not get exactly everything you want, but don’t let impossible perfection stop you from accomplishing anything.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Shared pleasure has the potential to become amplified pleasure right now. It can be risky to let others know what you truly value: A harsh or dismissive reaction could dampen your enjoyment of pursuing this pursuit in the future. As the insightful Moon in your partnership zone supports reserved Saturn in your communication sector, you may want to start small when initiating a conversation on the topic. If your companion seems interested, don’t hesitate to provide more information at this point!
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
A developing relationship could be exciting for you right now. However, you may find that you can’t count on things to go predictably. As Venus in your partnership sector tests raging Uranus in your safety zone, you may have to decide whether the potential rewards of pursuing this connection are worth the associated risks. Don’t use scathing comments to manipulate the other person into doing what’s best for you—just take a stand based on your values.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Shopping could be a lot of fun today, though you may need to give yourself some extra time to complete it. As gentle Venus in your responsible 6th house converses with curious Uranus in your 3rd house of short trips, you’re likely to stumble upon eye-catching attractions that will encourage you to stop and take a closer look. On the other hand, impulsively spending beyond your budget puts you at risk of buyer’s remorse. It’s okay to love something without visiting its gift shop!
