Today’s Runes for July 20 is Fehu

Fehu represents cattle the Norse symbol of wealth. This rune has some interesting implications based on the fact that cattle, unlike land, move about of their own accord. Cattle also reproduce, so this rune often speaks of wealth that renews or perpetuates itself. Wealth takes many forms, but this rune generally represents the value that is purely material or monetary in nature. Alternatively, this rune is deeply associated with Frey, and hence can be the harbinger of fertility and children.

Today’s Tarot Card for July 20 is The Magician

The Magician

This Tarot Deck: Cat People

 

General Meaning: Traditionally, the Magus is one who can demonstrate hands-on magic — as in healing, transformative rituals, alchemical transmutations, charging of talismans and the like. A modern Magus is any person who completes the circuit between heaven and Earth, one who seeks to bring forth the divine ‘gold’ within her or himself.

At the birth of Tarot, even a gifted healer who was not an ordained clergyman was considered to be in league with the Devil! For obvious reasons, the line between fooling the eye with sleight of hand, and charging the world with magical will was not clearly differentiated in the early Tarot cards.

Waite’s image of the Magus as the solitary ritualist communing with the spirits of the elements — with its formal arrangement of symbols and postures — is a token of the freedom we have in modern times to declare our spiritual politics without fear of reprisal. The older cards were never so explicit about what the Magus was doing. It’s best to keep your imagination open with this card. Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by evolutionary forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 20

We attract more attention than we really want today since the lively Leo Moon encourages us to be bold and place our feelings out in the open. Although we know how important it is to make time for relaxation and enjoyment, an anxious alignment between optimistic Jupiter and realistic Saturn reminds us we must fulfill our responsibilities before taking off for the weekend. Relying on sound logic is more valuable now than pursuing our desires.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re probably feeling more positive about what you are doing with your life now, but you may be afraid of moving too fast and missing something important. You are enthused because it seems as if you just woke up from a deep sleep. However, rather than acting impulsively, it’s best to proceed slowly and deliberately. If you work yourself into a frenzy of activity today, you might have to retreat so that you don’t go over the edge.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Two facets of your personality clash today without a clear winner. Unfortunately, the more you try to hold on to your original plan, the harder it will be to resolve the current tension. Nevertheless, it’s challenging to decide how far to go in reviewing and revising your agenda. You could end up wasting precious resources by making the wrong choice. Although uncertainty doesn’t feel good, the best solutions will come on their own accord if you simply remain open to change.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can easily run circles around everyone else now because you are at the top of your game. Others may find you irresistible today but it’s crucial not to overplay your hand. If you appear too confident, you might attract the very same attention you were attempting to avoid. Your plans could backfire if you try too hard, so relax and let the day unfold at its own pace.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Opening your heart to a trustworthy companion today could make you a bit uncomfortable. As sensitive as you are, try not to get too caught up in the response you receive to your emotional disclosure. What anyone else thinks now isn’t as important as what you are feeling. Ultimately, you are better off once you share what’s on your mind, even if your trust isn’t immediately reciprocated. The awkward moment is temporary, but your relationship will improve for the long-term if you’re willing to take the risk.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon is back in your sign, encouraging you to let everyone know exactly what you want. However, expressing your needs could create problems if you seem too demanding. Concentrating on your desires prevents you from being fully present in a relationship, and you may not even notice if another person is already offering you love and support. Paradoxically, removing yourself from the spotlight is a more reliable path to satisfaction now, so focus on others rather than yourself.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

What someone doesn’t say now can grab your attention, as if the unspoken words have additional power because they are kept secret. Your fear of the unknown might create a simple misunderstanding, especially if you assume the worst. But don’t try to fast talk your way around an awkward situation. Instead of lingering on your uncertainty, just say what’s on your mind and then move on.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Someone comes through for you today, offering an enjoyable escape or a more meaningful chance to share what’s on your mind. If there’s nothing already on your social calendar, pick up the phone, call a few friends and see what kind of fun is possible. This can be a very satisfying day, but it may not amount to much unless you are willing to take responsibility to make something special happen.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might try to present yourself in a more official manner now that the demonstrative Leo Moon is visiting your 10th House of Public Status. However, you could inadvertently forget about your position and share more of yourself today than you intend. Acting professionally is a smart idea since your job needs to come first at this time. Even though you shouldn’t leave your emotions completely out of the picture, you are not under any obligation to reveal your secrets to anyone else.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re encouraged by what’s happening now, but there is still missing information out there for you to uncover. Thankfully, you can enjoy your little hunt for critical data, but not if you’re just trying to amass personal power. Going into denial about the evidence is not a good idea, either; it’s just that the facts may not be as clear as you like. If you catch yourself drifting off into fantasyland, consciously bring yourself back to what’s real before you wander off too far.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might have to work harder than usual now because you believe that you must make a significant commitment to your career — especially if you are to reach your goals. However, your current fear of failure may just be a symptom of a deeper issue. Harsh self-judgment could stem from your uneasiness with your own ambitions. Be more accepting of what you have already accomplished instead of needlessly worrying about what’s next.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Tension in a partnership bubbles to the surface today, even if you didn’t see it coming. It’s quite likely that things are going well, yet there still may be difficult interactions as you express your ambiguity about your role in the relationship. Striving for clarity helps sweep away your clouds of uncertainty. Getting the conversational ball rolling will enable both parties to express their positions clearly so you can work toward establishing common ground.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might need to spend extra time in service to others now without receiving the recognition you deserve. This lack of acknowledgment could bring up old issues of low self-esteem. You don’t necessarily want to be in the spotlight, but you still may have resentment if someone else receives the applause. If this is an ongoing problem, it’s time to let those involved know. As long as your intentions are for the good of all, speak from your heart.

Your Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for July 20 – 22

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

It Takes All Kinds

July 20 – 22

Passion and playfulness take top billing this weekend, which starts with the scene-setting Moon in dramatic Leo and ends with the Sun’s entry into this expressive Fire sign on Sunday. Brave hearts and youthful spirits are the winning tickets to a good time during this buoyant period.
Friday gives us a chance to let our feelings roar with the Moon in the expressive sign of the Lion. Bragging and being pushy are less desirable ways to act, but it’s fine to be bold and come on strong when it’s done with a light touch. Brash behavior is tolerated as long as there’s no bullying involved.
A lunar shift into meticulous Virgo on Saturday afternoon tones down the theatrics and encourages practicality. Activities that mix work and play can be especially appealing in this productive sign. Yet even the most discreet individuals could be itching for excitement and willing to take chances in pursuit of new experiences. An adventurous Jupiter-Uranus sextile stimulates minds, spurring interest in unusual activities and unconventional people. Taking a relationship leap into unfamiliar territory is thrilling; adopting some healthy precautions in advance ensures a safer landing.
The Sun’s ingress into big-hearted Leo warms Sunday morning with innocence and, perhaps, a greater will to love, regardless of the risks.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for July 20

Finally, we can all wave goodbye to Mars for at least a 48-hour time-period. Its replacement is a combination of highly favorable aspects – at least in the early hours as the Moon in Leo unites with Mercury (12:35AM PDT), the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Venus (8:52AM PDT), Mercury forms an inspirational, 72-degree tie with Saturn (10:06AM PDT) while Mercury also trines Pallas (2:31PM PDT).  With Mercury the key agent in three of these four alignments, communication channels are wide open and ready for business. Your problem-solving abilities and strategic mind-set are greatly enhanced. The Moon and Venus reinforcing each other’s strengths is terrific for building solid love bonds, augmenting your bank account, and adding exclamation points to your social agenda.  However, just when it seems that everything is coming up roses, Jupiter decides to make a caustic, 135-degree link to fellow giant planet Saturn (7:01PM PDT). Anytime these two largest planets in our solar system act like spoiled brats, human affairs tend to go awry. In particular, you want to be extra careful on the business, educational and professional fronts. Don’t bite off more than you can chew.  In addition, the Moon in lively Leo starts a void cycle at 10:19PM PDT – with this uncertainty time-span lasting until 10:25AM PDT tomorrow. Keep a low profile overnight while unsettled conditions rule the roost.
