Bustle’s resident astrologer Mecca Woods, founder of My Life Created, shares every zodiac sign’s daily horoscope for today, August 9, 2022.
The moon is in grounded Capricorn, bringing attention to practical matters, like work and responsibilities. Although Capricorn is a sign that’s quite industrious, there’s some janky energy in the air today that can make it a bit difficult to get tasks accomplished. One major reason for this is because of the tense opposition between Venus in tenderhearted Cancer and power-hungry Pluto in Capricorn that’s active for most of the day.
This Venus-Pluto aspect can make it difficult to handle tasks or situations that require teamwork or compromise. This cosmic pair can often expose the cracks in a relationship or unhealthy relationship patterns. As a result, you’ll need to lean into the mature and levelheaded energy of the moon in Capricorn, steering clear of unnecessary drama. The Capricorn moon also encourages employing boundaries or showing some backbone where needed, particularly as it faces off with wounded Chiron in Aries in the afternoon.
Fortunately, the day ends on a fairly positive note when the moon in Capricorn teams up with innovative Uranus in Taurus in the evening. With the support of this planetary team, you can begin making better choices or adopting new coping strategies for dealing with problems or relationship issues.
If Your Zodiac Sign Is Aries (March 21-April 19)
You could be moved to share something private about yourself online or with people who don’t really know you. You don’t need strangers commenting on your business. Keep it to yourself.
If Your Zodiac Sign Is Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Take care that you’re not stressing yourself out by getting hung up on the need for certainty or assurance right now. Sometimes all you can do is just go with the flow. The answers will come.
If Your Zodiac Sign is Gemini (May 21-June 20)
There may be parts of yourself that you’re still learning how to love or accept. Be mindful of rejecting those pieces of yourself today. They have worth too.
If Your Zodiac Sign Is Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Try not to feel too bad if you need to keep someone that’s being uncooperative or pessimistic at arm’s length. You don’t need their unwelcome vibes mucking up your own.
If Your Zodiac Sign Is Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Your daily routine might need to undergo some serious changes for the sake of your well-being and productivity. Is there something on your to-do list you need to finally outsource or let go of?
If Your Zodiac Sign Is Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Money could be a bit funny now and one reason for this is because you need to conserve what you have. Avoid spending cash for now if you really don’t have to.
If Your Zodiac Sign Is Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You enjoy doing things on your own. However, you’re encouraged not to make life harder for yourself just because it’s hard or scary to ask for help. Reach down deep and shore up the courage.
