In this August 3 daily horoscope, Bustle's resident astrologer Mecca Woods, the founder of My Life Created, shares the astrological events happening today that will affect every sign. Below, here's a look at how astrology will affect our lives today.

There's a buzz in the air today, thanks to the full moon in innovative and electric Aquarius (11:59 a.m. ET). As full moons mark periods of things coming to a close or things coming to a head, this full moon could bring us something unexpected or surprising, namely because this moon is also in a tense position with unconventional and unpredictable Uranus in Taurus.

No matter which way we slice it, today definitely will usher in some sort of change. We just need make sure we're open to the new things that come our way and remain as flexible as possible. Though we should be mindful of being to reactive or impulsive as this full moon's energy can have us all feeling excitable and on edge.

Luckily, communicative Mercury in intuitive Saturn will be in an opposition to serious Saturn in Capricorn by the late afternoon, which can help us with finding a moment to ground ourselves or at least to take a moment to process any shifts or surprises that come up. On the other hand, this Mercury-Saturn aspect could have us seeing the glass as half-empty as opposed to half-full, so we'll need to guard against assuming or expecting the worst.

Read below to see what the stars mean for your sign today, and make sure to check out your August 2020 monthly horoscope.

It might be time to bring a partnership to an end, as it might suddenly dawn on you just how much you've grown apart from this person or connection. Someone could make a surprise offer to you, too. Think on it.

If a love connection has been emotionally taxing on you, today could be the day you decide to go your own way. If anything, today will help you get clear on what you want. Also, creativity comes from unexpected places.

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Margaret Flatley/Bustle

A home- or family-related issue could be triggering for you today, but it's important that you don't allow yourself to get weighed down by the drama. Taking the high road or freeing yourself of guilt is the way to go.

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Margaret Flatley/Bustle

You're called to stand fully in who you are, Aquarius, warts and all. Doing so many mean you might need to break away from someone that you're close to or something in your past. You know what you need to do.

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Margaret Flatley/Bustle

A secret could come out into the open that could jar you, but the truth will set you free. On a separate note, you could decide to release something you used to think was important. Go your own way.
