Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, July 12th

 

Aries 

You are a little more curious and restless today than you have been recently, dear Aries. Resist the urge to rebel or to snap at others today if you feel that your plans, particularly revolving around home and family, are not coming together as quickly and efficiently as you’d hoped. Honor your need for a change of scene, then come back fresh. Get rid of extras and distractions so that you can figure out what you really need to do. There are times when your own inner rebel gets in the way of the calm and peace that you seek, and today, this can be obvious. There are ways of combining or answering to both needs for independence and for comfort.

Taurus

There can be a restless and impatient atmosphere around you today, dear Taurus, with a Sun-Uranus square that tends to shake things up a little. This can be exciting on one hand, and unsettling on another. In your case, there is a tendency for something you say or express to cause a bit of a stir. There could be communication or transportation mix-ups to deal with today, but these can lead to the discovery of new channels for connecting that you may not have thought about otherwise. Don’t fret too much if your schedule is thrown off, as it can possibly result in an important discovery.

Gemini

The Moon is in your sign all day, dear Gemini, and this serves to increase your hunger for emotional connections. A Sun-Uranus square lends an unpredictable energy to the day. You might be feeling a little scattered, impulsive, or impatient. You’re more inclined to act from a place of emotion or eog than you are from reason, and this should be watched for. Even so, something that you’ve been sitting on may need to come out. There can be a tendency to feel possessive, or you could be prompted to make a defensive stand with a friend or group you’re attached to if you feel limited or restricted by someone.

Cancer

The Moon is in your privacy sector all day, dear Cancer, and this signals a need for some reflection and rest. Even so, the day feels a little unstable and unpredictable. There can be surprises related to career, rules, and responsibilities. If you’re feeling discontented, try to find its source. Something needs to change, and it’s better if you identify what it is rather than letting change happen to you. If you can’t find the source, then consider taking steps to reduce stress, such as through exercise. You can feel put upon if your responsibilities are too great, so you might want to look to reduce your burdens, even in small ways. Consider also adjusting your manner if you’ve been more provocative than you realize when dealing with others.

Leo

You have a stronger need than usual to take some time out, for psychic space, and some level of retreat these days, dear Leo, but a Sun-Uranus square today can point to disruptions on this front. A significant other may not be seeing eye to eye with you, and may not appreciate your withdrawal, for example. A desire to expand, grow, learn, and connect could be pulling you away from more healing activities. This is a good time, in fact, for confronting aspects of yourself or past choices that may be blocking current success, but today, distractions can be plenty, as you feel strong desires pulling you in different directions. Finding a way to balance all that you want to do and what you feel you should do for better mental health can be difficult, but vital now.

Virgo

You could experience some tension and/or impatience today, dear Virgo, as you deal with conflicting feelings for someone or for a project. Look for ways to make changes, even if you’re feeling ready to dump something altogether, unless of course you’ve given things a lot of thought. Taking a breather from what is frustrating you can also help. It’s time to do something differently or to change your methods. Accept surprises rather than let them discourage you, because in the process, you might discover something entirely new and very valuable. Areas where you have felt confined or limited can be extra sensitive today, but instead of rebelling against what feels like pressure to conform or to fit in, consider more constructive, moderate ways to reduce the tension or to express your individuality.

Libra

Relationships with others can be distracting today, dear Libra, and could possibly interfere with your work or even your reputation. Try not to worry too much about what people are doing (or not doing) and prioritize your own work, needs, and goals, or your performance could very well suffer. Identify areas of your life that require a change or a new approach instead of falling back on the same behaviors that keep frustrating patterns alive. If someone is giving you space when you’d prefer to be close, let it happen and then take the time to carefully examine what it is you want and need. Don’t allow yourself to be at the beck and call of a person who doesn’t return the favor. The Moon in your adventure sector all day can help you to find your own paths to fulfillment, without having to rely on others.

Scorpio

Restlessness today may very well be a need for a change of pace, dear Scorpio, if you look at things closely. One of the lessons of the Sun-Uranus square occurring today is that if you stick too rigidly to a routine or plan, you may not learn a better method or something new and helpful. Aim to adapt and to be flexible if there are changes of plans. Even so, your patience can be tested today, as schedule problems and lack of organization can get in the way of your bigger plans. Resolve to take better care of details going forward, and avoid putting all of the blame on others or circumstances if it’s clear you didn’t prepare well.

Sagittarius 

You are hungry for more from life than the ordinary these days, dear Sagittarius, and perhaps a little more from the people in your life as well. Even so, your approach to the world can be so playful or even flippant at times that it’s hard for others to know that you may be looking for more. Watch that you’re not giving off mixed signals. In truth, it can be difficult to let go of the “free spirit” image and approach, and hard to know when and if you want things to be more serious. It can certainly be difficult knowing where to direct the energy of all of these excess and conflicting feelings, so it will be extra important to take the time to get in touch with what you truly want. Even so, don’t think in black and white terms of “either/or”, because a combined or divided-attention approach can also work for you.

Capricorn

There can be unrest in your close relationships today, dear Capricorn, but this can be managed quite expertly if you aim to be flexible and more self-aware. It may be too easy to feel that changes are being forced upon you by others or by circumstances. However, if you look within, you may very well discover that you are in need of a change of pace. Taking steps to make your own changes is the path that empowers rather than waiting for the rest of the world to decide what needs to change. Watch for rebellious reactions. Don’t allow a change of plans or schedules to throw you off balance.

Aquarius

With a Sun-Uranus square today, dear Aquarius, there can be difficulty coming together in agreement with others, as people may be too wrapped up in their own needs and wants, particularly as they relate to freedom an individuality. You are no stranger to this energy – you understand it well – but there can be times when the day’s unpredictable energies throw you a little off center. You could be bothered by someone’s opinion, unreasonable requests or demands, or very sudden changes of heart or changes of plans. Aim to be as flexible as possible now, or you could spend the day in a state of frustration. In fact, a shuffling of responsibilities or activities may lead to good things or good times, if you allow yourself to enjoy the change of pace.

Pisces

The need to nurture yourself in some manner is present today, dear Pisces. From time to time, we need to remind ourselves that we are “safe”, and with the Moon transiting your sector of home and family, this is the kind of mood you’re in. However, you will need to entertain the idea that some things need to change. As the day advances, it can be difficult to remain patient, but it’s important to avoid nervous tension, which can challenge your ability to see things clearly. If you’re restless or bored, then you could be inclined to take risks. Be aware that you may be overpaying, either emotionally or literally, or both! Identify the source of tension and work on breaking through fears.
