General Weekly Love Horoscope for July 11th

We may face a dose of reality in relationships this week as amorous Venus tangles in a tense 90-degree square with restrictive Saturn on Wednesday. Demonstrating patience and maturity while remaining painfully honest can clarify what’s needed to repair a wounded partnership, or do what’s necessary to help create a new one.

 

 
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The cool, quirky and innovative Aquarius Moon lights up your 11th House of Groups this weekend. This lunar transit is excellent for going out with friends to a new destination or connecting with someone special while working on an important cause. Experimenting with different people and unusual experiences is better than spending all of your time with familiar faces in the same old places.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

No matter how cautious you feel early in the week, it’s time to take some chances this weekend. The unconventional Aquarius Moon may push you out of your emotional comfort zone, but it makes more sense to loosen up and play than to get too serious. A lighter attitude will also keep you from going to extremes, which you might appreciate when the party is over.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Plans can change in an instant this weekend, which should suit your curious and adaptable personality. But try to maintain a bit of self-control, especially on Friday when your brainy ruling planet Mercury hooks up with wild and crazy Uranus. Whatever goes through your head could pop out of your mouth and undermine your romantic intentions. Think twice before you say something you can’t take back.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s going to take a good deal of tolerance to appreciate and understand others this weekend. A desire to retreat to safe and familiar territory is understandable, but that’s unlikely to serve your romantic interests now. Opening up to discover new ways to share your heart and mind can take you on a thrilling ride. Let your love light shine and you might be pleasantly surprised by what happens next.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Expect an exciting weekend with the inventive and spirited Aquarius Moon lighting up your 7th House of Relationships. Emotions will be high, but fortunately, you can also remain objective enough to keep your feelings from going overboard. Spending time with open-minded people will help you discover joy and mental stimulation, making this an entertaining time.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Keeping order can be quite difficult this weekend as your logical ruling planet Mercury crashes into chaotic Uranus on Friday. Stress is lowered if you’re willing to adapt to sudden changes instead of trying to stubbornly stick to a pre-determined schedule or plan. The Moon’s move into your 6th House of Service could connect you with someone special through work or as a helpful volunteer. Romance can show up in the unlikeliest places, so keep your heart open just in case.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Don’t despair if you feel underappreciated early this week when stern Saturn scolds your ruling planet Venus. Thankfully, the Moon dances into your 5th House of Fun and Games on Friday afternoon, which should make for a playful weekend. Letting loose to express yourself is not only healthy, but may also be the best way to attract romantic attention. Creating your own special brand of entertainment allows you to focus on your needs for change, inadvertently captivating your audience in the process.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon is in quirky Aquarius this weekend, reflecting a strange quality that may be hard for you to grasp. People need room to breathe, making it difficult to feel close or stick to commitments. Instead of working against this changing tide, get in the flow by letting go of any expectations or judgments about your behavior. Explore uncharted territory instead of trying to control everything in your environment. Romance happens when you least expect it.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may not have to stray far from home to find some fun this weekend. The Moon is traveling through your 3rd House of Nearby Places, which can connect you to interesting people and experiences in the course of your daily activities. Conversation comes easily now, making your gift for expression even more valuable. As long as you don’t get preachy, almost anything you say can captivate your audience.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Friday’s early morning Full Moon in your sign could bring relationship issues to a head, but the intensity quickly cools with a lunar shift into chilly Aquarius in the afternoon. Expressing strong emotions could push buttons, but your ability to regain objectivity can turn a potential crisis into a breakthrough — helping you get a fresh start with someone new or putting a current partnership on a more flexible foundation.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Ghosts from the past can rattle relationships with Friday’s early morning Full Moon shining in your 12th House of Secrets. Sudden revelations and awakened memories might make you feel less certain about yourself, or perhaps shake your trust in a partner. But if you can keep your mind open and your emotions from overheating, the Moon’s entry into rational Aquarius in the afternoon can free you to move ahead with a lighter load. Celebrate what makes you unique with those who know you best.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s understandable if you want to stay away from busy places this weekend. The Moon is hanging out in your secretive 12th House where your need for privacy grows stronger. Quiet time with one gentle person is all the entertainment you want, unless you’re so much in need of some rest that you’ll be even happier if everyone leaves you alone.

Daily Horoscopes for Monday, July 11th

It’s easy for our feelings to grow out of control once the Moon enters cavalier Sagittarius at 5:46 am EDT. We’re motivated to express ourselves in a big way without worrying about the consequences, but we can miss important subtleties in our rush for recognition. Fortunately, we get cosmic help as energetic Mars in interactive Gemini creates a supportive sextile with communicator Mercury. However, the quickest response isn’t always the best one.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re very excited about all the possibilities in your life now that the fiery Sagittarius Moon is tempting you to push your limits even further. You could even believe that the signs are telling you to go ahead and do it all, even if you don’t have enough energy to keep up with such an active schedule. Be smart and practice saying no, or you might spread yourself so thin that you end up exhausting yourself and having no fun at all.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may spend too much money on something you don’t really need, but impulsive purchases aren’t necessarily a smart idea today. Although you might regret your momentary lack of fiscal discipline, you could be motivated to act now if you think that you’ll lose your chance by letting the opportunity pass. However, the sense of urgency is an illusion and isn’t based on what’s actually happening. You can avoid buyer’s remorse if you simply take extra time to weigh your options prior to opening your wallet.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury harmonizes with pushy Mars in your friendly sign today, provoking you to talk up a storm. But however enticing a social invitation sounds now, you might need some time to relax away from other people. Everyone seems to be encouraging you to do more, but you don’t have to live up to their expectations. Instead of succumbing to peer pressure, listen to your own voice and do what sounds right.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Employment may mean that your big ideas about what you intend to accomplish at work today are not realistic. It’s healthy to remember that even your most sensible plans might need to be set aside if you’re distracted by something more interesting than your responsibilities. It’s not that you’re feeling scattered; it’s just that boredom is setting in. It’s okay to explore new avenues of expression as long as you follow through with everything you start.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are highly enthusiastic about playing with your friends, even if you have real work to do today. It’s hard to get the fun and games out of your mind, whether or not you can participate in them. However, you may be tired of having to take the lead to make anything happen. Acknowledging that you deserve some downtime is part of your solution now; the other part is scheduling your day so you fit in some work and some play.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You feel as if you’re at odds with yourself today because you can’t find the right balance between too little and too much. You are naturally competent in handling details. However, your current extravagance tempts you to promise more than you can deliver, especially if you skim over a crucial piece of information. Thinking about all the possibilities now is healthy as long as you remember that your common sense is still your greatest asset.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your friends may believe that you’re a bit imbalanced today, especially if your optimism pushes you toward big thinking. Although everything may appear better than it actually is now, you might overcompensate by seeing potential problems everywhere you look. Keep in mind that the truth is somewhere in between the extremes and it’s smarter to moderate your enthusiasm rather than going overboard in either direction.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may not be willing to let go of your financial concerns, even if you’re more positive now about the future. The upbeat Sagittarius Moon shines a spotlight on your 2nd House of Possessions now and you recognize that your success depends upon consolidating your gains. If you try to bolt ahead too quickly, you may end up jeopardizing your progress. Allow your enthusiasm to build, but move forward cautiously until you build a momentum that you can sustain.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s return to inspirational Sagittarius reminds you of how significant your feelings are to your happiness. Unfortunately, you are sometimes tempted to override your emotions if they get in the way of an exciting activity. However, you are unable to ignore what your body tells you today. Your moods are vital indicators of your overall well-being now, so pay extra careful attention to honoring what your heart needs.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Paradoxically, you may be very talkative today, even though you might prefer being left alone. You aren’t ready to engage with the noise of the world now and it would be wise to avoid unnecessary social events and gatherings of large groups of people. Initiating meaningful one-on-one conversations allows you to connect on a deeper level with someone special. Even if being accepted by a club or a clique could help you achieve your goals, save the socializing for another day.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re buzzing today as the Moon in your 11th House of Friends and Associates fires up your social life, even if it’s a workday. It’s not easy to stay serious about your job now, unless it involves interacting with your peers. You want to be connected with your tribe, even if it’s in a business rather than a personal setting. Fortunately, you’ll receive the support and admiration of your co-workers if you take care of your obligations as expected.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your vision of the future captures the imagination of your associates today, leading you to assume a greater amount of authority. You may not want to be the boss, but others realize that you’re one of the few people who actually understand what’s happening. Don’t turn down a leadership role if you are chosen by your peers. Stand up and play your part; you will be able to step back with a sense of accomplishment later on.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Excellent day to devour fruit, while making snarling sounds and glaring at persons nearby. Next, tear the heads off the carnations and stuff them partway up your nose, and make strange wuffling sounds while vigorously wiggling your eyebrows. Or don’t, if you’re going to be stuffy. It’s your life.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Today you will find a note, folded into quarters, and torn from a steno pad. Surprisingly, it will refer to you. Even more surprisingly, it will refer to you as the object of adoration, someone whom the note’s author wishes to engage in “snuggle bunnies” with. Sadly, it will be impossible to determine who wrote it, and nothing will ever come of it.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Remember today: two wrongs don’t make a right. But three do.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Good day to learn ventriloquism. Lesson 1: making squishy sounds when people walk by, in time with their footsteps.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
While attending a séance “just for fun”, you will be possessed by the spirit of Rasputin. Surprisingly, it will be a good career move.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
While poring over some old historical documents, you will discover that the Norman invasion was actually supposed to be the “Bob” invasion, but Norman stole the credit for it. Sadly, it will turn out to be too late to change it now.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Excellent time to race one of those little Shriners cars up and down the sidewalk twenty thousand million times. Also, you’ll meet an angel, but don’t let on that you know who she really is.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
This week you will angrily tell someone that you are more than just a name and a number! You are also punctuation!
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
In a savage reaction against what you view as New Age Wooly-Mindedness, you will write a best-selling book titled I’m Ok, You’re A Twerp. Later, people will often regard you as having “defined” the current decade.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
You will soon accidentally discover why it is that so many things “taste like chicken.” It’s because they ARE chickens, in clever disguises.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
A person wearing a bandana on his head and brandishing a cutlass will dash by you today, saying something that sounds a bit like “Arrrr”.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
This week you will feel like corn. Just not like having any.

Today’s Featured List……

Today’s featured list

A gold-tanned leather baseball glove flanked by two golden baseballs affixed to a walnut trophy base.

In Major League Baseball, the Rawlings Gold Glove Awards are presented annually to the players at each position judged to have shown superior individual fielding performances throughout the season. Since awards are presented in both the National and American Leagues, 18 Gold Gloves (pictured) have been given each year since 1958, after nine awards were presented in the inaugural 1957 season. Because ties in the voting are permissible, 19 awards have been presented twice, when four outfielders won, in 1985 and 2007. The Gold Glove is presented to outfielders irrespective of their specific position. Critics have argued that the three outfield positions are not equivalent defensively, supporting other defensive recognition such as the Fielding Bible Awards. Pitcher Greg Maddux has won the most Gold Gloves of any player, capturing 18 from 1990 to 2002 and 2004 to 2008. The only player ever to win Gold Gloves as an infielder and outfielder is Darin Erstad, who won as an outfielder in 2000 and 2002, and as a first baseman in 2004.
