Your Horoscopes for Friday, July 10th

 

 

Aries 

Familiarity, the world of the five senses, and comfort are your tonic today, dear Aries. This is a good time to tend to practical affairs and/or to reconnect with the natural world. Your emotional state is strengthened by feeling secure and independent, so that efforts to get to these states will be especially satisfying, even if they are small efforts. Keep your mind peaceful now, and you can learn and gain insights into recent events or problems. Configurations support these things.

Taurus

The Moon is in your sign all day, dear Taurus, and it’s forming mostly easy aspects, suggesting a stronger sense that you can make what you want out of the day. It also helps you to easily find channels for expressing yourself. You have a zest for action today and you have much personal presence – you won’t go unnoticed right now. Others tend to support you, and a love interest can be especially intrigued. Your ability to communicate effectively boosts social relationships. It’s a good time for relaxing recreation as well, or for taking a break to refresh and rejuvenate yourself by either doing the things you most enjoy doing or simply bypassing the things that leave you feeling drained.

Gemini

Good energy is with you for unwinding and detaching yourself emotionally from demanding situations, dear Gemini. This is a strong time for recuperation and regeneration if you can manage it. You may be in the need of more privacy, rest, or some other form of break until the Moon enters your sign tomorrow evening. You can come up with some great ideas about making money, doing business, and home improvement today; and work spent on solitary or private projects can benefit greatly. You can also have some personal epiphanies. Focusing on forgiveness can do wonders for you emotionally today.

Cancer

This is a strong day for cooperation, gaining support, and even solving a problem or two, dear Cancer. You might come to an important agreement, find others quite accommodating and agreeable, and communication comes easily. There is sincere interest in one another so that relationships get a nice boost. There are times when standing out or calling special attention to your unique qualities is beneficial, but today its more about letting things flow around you, taking one for the team, and leaving your ego at the door so that you can truly enjoy others as your peers.

Leo

Others are drawn to you in subtle ways, and a gentle approach to the world serves you best today, dear Leo. Reputation is enhanced, particularly as you are clear in your value, both to the world and to individuals. The inner entrepreneur is alive and well today making this a good time for tending to business. You might also take action on a professional matter, and find the energy and gumption to push ahead. You could be in a position to take the lead on a matter, and this position always seems to become you!

Virgo

You are more spontaneous than usual today, dear Virgo, and creative self-expression comes easily and naturally right now. You certainly are drawn to people with similar ideals and outlook, but you are also happy to interact with people who can expand upon these things, or introduce you to new things or ideas. You are attracting positive, happy, and forward-looking people into your life right now. Current relationships are a little spicier. You might inspire somebody with an idea or a unique perspective on a matter.

Libra

This is a strong day for observing things you might normally miss, dear Libra. Even so, connections made can be rousing. Observing and learning rather than jumping into action tends to be favored now, but it is also a good time for taking action on private matters. As introspective as you may be now, don’t totally hide yourself away, however, as there is likely to be interesting and possibly important information circling around you. Forgiveness and compassion can be highlighted today. It’s a wonderful time for healing, particularly if you aim to let go of emotional baggage, grudges, or resentment – you have cosmic support for this today!

Scorpio

Close relationships are on your mind today, dear Scorpio. You could be feeling more confident about pursuing a relationship, or for making amends with those close to you. You are an expert “middle guy” or go-between right now. Your capacity for compassion is enhanced right now, and your intuition is heightened. It’s not the best time for acting entirely independently or for making executive decisions, as you tend to thrive on others’ input, whether or not you actually use it! Having company is what it’s about, and company that you trust.

Sagittarius 

This is a good time for seeing and dealing with details, dear Sagittarius, and you may even enjoy the process today. Housework, organizing, or maintaining order in your life may be on the agenda, or at the very least the key to your emotional satisfaction at the moment. Getting the little things done helps free yourself up from guilt and worry. This is a strong day for gluing the pieces together, and feeling the satisfaction for having done so. You might also find yourself helping others or playing a supportive role, quite willingly.

Capricorn

Easy energy for fruitful, pleasing interactions with others is with you today, dear Capricorn, making cooperation a real potential now. Love feels warm, friendly, and even healing. You’re in the mood for special attention, and you are more likely to receive it if you express your own feelings sincerely and without expectation. For the time being, don’t try to think too far ahead. Figure things out one step at a time. Conservative planning is more likely to bring success in creative endeavors, as well as with a romance. Today has an easy kind of energy to it that doesn’t demand attention, but gets it anyhow.

Aquarius

The day holds good potential for feeling a real sense of inner peace and balance, dear Aquarius. You have a serene aura about you, and there is likely to be a chance to talk about difficult or complex emotional matters successfully, easily, and painlessly! Whether you’re relating on intellectual or emotional levels, you tend to know what to say, not in a superficial way, but due to a strong understanding. It’s a good time to rectify problems or misunderstandings if something needs repair. Share your vision with others – you’ll find a receptive audience.

Pisces

This can be a busy time of your month, dear Pisces, with the Moon influencing your communications sector. The Moon’s easy aspects today can point to a happy kind of “busy”, with good news to share or receive and the chance to get a whole lot of little things done and behind you. You might also make important connections with others. While the day tends to favor little jobs that require small levels of concentration, you can quite successfully move ahead a project that involves teamwork today, as all seem to be in agreement. A potentially healing conversation might occur with a partner or best friend.

Panathenaea

 

The Panathenaea (all-Athens) was celebrated annually in Midsummer. Instituted by the Athenian tyrant Pisistratus in the mid-500s B.C., the festival served as a national religious holiday that celebrated the birthday of Athena-the city’s patron Goddess. During the weeklong celebration, there were sacrifices, sports competitions, and a procession of citizens. Every fourth year the festival was especially elaborate and called the Great Panathenaea, during which the procession of citizens would carry a new pelops, or lady’s gown, up to the Athenian Acropolis. The gown was then offered up to the ancient olive wood statue of Athena.

Athena

 

Athena the warrior Goddess was admired for her intelligence and dislikes of senseless violence and was adept at the art of peace. The patroness of architects, sculptors, spinners, and weavers, Athena was the proctor of all towns, especially Athens, of which she was the patron deity. The most notably celibate of the Greek Goddesses, Athena’s symbols include the owl, olive tree, spear, shield, chariot and flute. her colors are gold, blue, and olive green, and she is associated with the numbers 9 and 25.

Thursday

Jupiter’s (Thor’s) day

 

The name is derived from Old English Þūnresdæg and Middle English Thuresday (with loss of -n-, first in northern dialects, from influence of Old Norse Þorsdagr) meaning “Thor’s Day”. Thunor, Donar (German, Donnerstag) and Thor are derived from the name of the Germanic god of thunder, Thunraz, equivalent to Jupiter in the interpretatio romana.

In most Romance languages, the day is named after the Roman god Jupiter, who was the god of sky and thunder. In Latin, the day was known as Iovis Dies, “Jupiter’s Day”. In Latin, the genitive or possessive case of Jupiter was Iovis/Jovis and thus in most Romance languages it became the word for Thursday: Italian giovedì, Spanish jueves, French jeudi, Sardinian jòvia, Catalan dijous, and Romanian joi. This is also reflected in the p-Celtic Welsh dydd Iau.

The astrological and astronomical sign of the planet Jupiter is sometimes used to represent Thursday.

Since the Roman god Jupiter was identified with Thunor (Norse Thor in northern Europe), most Germanic languages name the day after this god: Torsdag in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, Hósdagur/Tórsdagur in Faroese, Donnerstag in German or Donderdag in Dutch. Finnish and Northern Sami, both non-Germanic (Uralic) languages, uses the borrowing “Torstai” and “Duorastat”. In the extinct Polabian Slavic language, it was perundan, Perun being the Slavic equivalent of Thor.

There are a number of modern names imitating the naming of Thursday after an equivalent of “Jupiter” in local tradition. In most of the languages of India, the word for Thursday is Guruvar – var meaning day and guru being the style for Bṛhaspati, guru to the gods and regent of the planet Jupiter. In Thai, the word is Wan Pharuehatsabodi – referring to the Hindu deity Bṛhaspati, also associated with Jupiter. En was an old Illyrian deity and in his honor in the Albanian language Thursday is called “Enjte”. In the Nahuatl language, Thursday is Tezcatlipotōnal meaning “day of Tezcatlipoca”.
