Mercury in Leo is bold and vivacious, while Saturn in Aries invites you to control your energy. This creates a powerful dynamic where you can really succeed. Whatever you run toward, you need to really think about how you handle yourself. Self-control can be hard to navigate, but during a horoscope like today's, these five signs handle it wonderfully.
1. Aries

You get the best of both worlds on Monday. Today's perfect for updating something that looks worn and tired and making it both aesthetically pleasing and purposeful. Everything you have to do on Monday is actually stuff you want to do. You feel a big difference in motivation when your time is filled with projects and plans you enjoy.
You are responsible without losing your playfulness. Mercury in Leo has your mind set on creativity, and you fall in love with what you accomplish because it's just so incredibly awesome. You love how your artistic side shines through.
2. Gemini

On August 17, Mercury in Leo activates your house of communication, which feels perfect for what you need to do today. Since Saturn is in Aries, your house of friendships, it's the perfect time to do some grown-up stuff that's been put off for a while.
What's great about today's horoscope is that you and the people you associate with level up in a way that shows personal and professional growth. A few tough conversations come up, but you realize how bravely you can go over the hard parts without feeling like rejection is personal.
3. Virgo
Design: YourTango
What makes today's horoscope great is how you improve your life by doing things that are hard but necessary. Virgo, your ruling planet, Mercury is in your house of hidden enemies, and this allows you a chance to confront the truth about things you know you dislike right now.
You're not looking to sweep problems under the rug. With Mercury trine Saturn, you roll up your sleeves and treat situations like business decisions: make them quickly and keep things moving forward.
4. Scorpio

Scorpio, when Mercury in your house of social status speaks with Saturn in your house of routines, it's time to update your day-to-day priorities. Saturn helps you get rid of time-wasters that kill productivity. You know that they stress you out, and on Monday, your tolerance drops big time.
With Mercury in Leo making you think about your career goals, you see how certain people or things hurt your performance at your job. You decide to stop that now. No gossip or negative vent sessions. Only positive thinking and action.
5. Aquarius
Design: YourTango
On August 17, Mercury helps you to connect with your partner in a sweet and tender way. You put it out there that you want and need more attention. Not speaking to someone you care about has hurt your heart, and lately things have felt distant.
You've not really talked to each other in some time. When people distance themselves, you give them space. But right now, you want closeness and to be heard. Mercury helps you find the courage to be vulnerable and say you want to work on your communication problems. You each take silence and use it to learn a lesson and confront your problems head-on.
