Bustle’s resident astrologer Mecca Woods, founder of My Life Created, shares every zodiac sign’s daily horoscope for today, August 5, 2022.

There’s an intensity in the air today that will make it hard to kick back and relax. Not only is the moon in all-or-nothing Scorpio, but it’s also receiving friction from multiple planets. This type of turbulent cosmic weather often translates into a lot of tension down here on earth.

At the start of the day, the Scorpio moon faces off with the sun in fun-loving Leo, creating a moody atmosphere. Toward the second half of the day, it gets into heated opposition with Mars and Uranus in stubborn Taurus, with energy akin to sitting on a powder keg. If you’ve avoided dealing with a situation, it may be unavoidable now.

By later tonight, serious Saturn in Aquarius will add to the frustration when it squares off with the moon. It will be easy to feel discouraged. Fortunately, Venus in tenderhearted Cancer can lend some support, encouraging us to find strength and comfort in the people, places, and things that we love.

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Aries (March 21-April 19)
