Here's Your Horoscope For Today: August 4, 2020

In this August 4 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.

Although we're coming off the buzz from yesterday's Aquarius full moon, today keeps the energy going as fiery Mars in Aries is the star of the show. With the Moon in Aquarius teaming up with Mars and Mars squaring off with expansive Jupiter in Capricorn in the early morning, the day gets off to a running start. However, as Aquarius can be an excitable sign and Mars in Aries is associated with passion and anger, today's cosmic weather could have some of us feeling edgy and argumentative, or just plain restless. The best way to harness this energy is to channel it into projects or activities that call for some extra energy or determination.

Luckily, the heat cools off a bit in the later part of the day as the friendly Aquarius Moon teams up with love planet Venus in sociable Gemini. Under this Moon-Venus combo, it's the perfect time to catch up with friends, chill out with a good book or podcast, or head out for some fresh air. By late tonight the Moon slips into dreamy Pisces, helping us to decompress from the day and get the rest and relaxation we need. Meanwhile, communicative Mercury leaves tenderhearted Cancer and enters bold and creative Leo. With Mercury in Leo, creative projects and entertainment can be therapeutic.
