Hell, even a review. I'm a one human show and produce each and every episode, every day, just for you. And your support means so, so much. Now let's get into the astrology of the day. This is your daily horoscope for Monday, August 17th, 2026. All times are Pacific Standard Time. Now there's a lot going on in the sky today, and it all starts out around 3 a.m. when Mars and Cancer forms a square with Neptune and Aries. This is taking place at 3 degrees. If you have any planets or placements around 3 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn, you're the main characters. Mars is a planet of war and violence and severing, but also courage and confidence and motivation. Neptune is a planet of our ideals, our spirituality, also compassion and creativity, but it also blurs and is not really solid. So it can stir up this confusing energy and haze. When Mars forms a square to Neptune, this is a moment where we are wielding our weapons for what we believe in and in alignment with our ideals. It's a moment where you might get in fights with other people based on your beliefs, or maybe you are proudly defending and protecting and standing up for what is right in some of your ideals. But we need to think about that definition of what is right for who and who is defining that, right? Collectively, this can be a time of great violence and of justifying wars and violence and actions alike in the name of spirituality. So this is something we will need to look out for as well. Now there can also be some sort of deception at play. This can also bring up projection, insecurities, and even just a feeling of gaslighting as well in some of our relationships or in other people's actions, or we really need to be aware of what's motivating us in those moments. Are we leading with projections or insecurities as well? Now around 4 30 a.m., the moon in Libra forms a sextile with the sun in Leo. Fortunately, this brings a synergy between the two luminaries, the sun and the moon, a sense of harmony and ease, and like there is some sort of plot moving along in a direction that we had hoped for. Now around 8:30 a.m., Mercury and Leo forms a trine with Saturn and Aries. This is at 14 degrees. If you have any planets or placements around 14 degrees of the fire signs, this cute aspect is for you. It's great for making a commitment. It is great for committing to a creative project, for signing a contract, to navigating boundaries in a respectful, mature way. It can give you the dedication and focus to see an idea through. Whatever you put your mind to, you have the structure and the systems in place to see it through to the end. Now at 9 a.m., we have Venus and Libra forming a sextile with Jupiter and Leo. This is also a biggie. This is taking place at 10 degrees. If you have any planets or placements around 10 degrees of the air signs or the fire signs, you'll feel the benefits of this the most intensely because Venus and Jupiter are the two luckiest planets in the solar system. If you want to know how this planetary energy is going to shake out for your personal zodiac sign, I have personalized horoscopes for every single day over on my Patreon. So you can gain instant access to seven episodes of your daily horoscope for the week ahead. I release them in advance.

It is a feeling of support, of luck, of gratitude, of accomplishment, of progress. This is great for building relationships, for building community, for experiencing progress in the realms of what is just and what is right in the world. And this can help bring some of your dreams to life. It can put you in touch with an influential and important contact at the right moment. Maybe you're in the right place at the right time. Maybe you fall in love. Maybe someone tells you they love you. Maybe you receive a yes you are hoping for. There is an element of gratitude and progress and hope that comes through when Venus and Jupiter form a sweet connection like this. Now around 3 p.m. the moon enters Scorpio, and around 10 p.m. the moon and Scorpio forms a square with Pluto and Aquarius, stirring up some of our insecurities and stirring up our desire to crave control and our old coping mechanisms and our survival instincts. And there might be a need to surrender in the moment to the unknown and to just be present with yourself and what is coming up for you. This can spark a moment of catharsis and healing. Now around 11:30 p.m., the moon and Scorpio forms a trine with Mars and Cancer. And this is steamy, sexy energy, and an emotional conversation that leads to some good sex, a healing conversation, a conversation in which you are processing your feelings and actively crying, or a conversation in which you are feeling more emotionally confident and ready to stand up for what matters to you. This energy can also be exciting, inspiring, and motivating as well. As always, I hope your astrology of the day has offered some guidance and support into your day ahead.
