Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, July 18th
Aries

Relationship dynamics may not be straightforward today, dear Aries, and it doesn’t help matters much that you are sensitive to the interplays. Family life may feel a little unsettled, or you could sense that there are many things left undone. The indirect energy of the day is not your natural style, and you may be feeling a little at odds with others as a result. Nevertheless, there is more purpose to your world tonight. You are more able to see your efforts in a realistic light, and you can experience a compelling desire to create something tangible. A step by step approach will work best – tune out distractions and work on what’s priority. Promotion or self-publishing can be quite successful now. As well, you might successfully make solid travel or educational plans today. Making something productive or profitable out of a hobby can be in focus for some of you.
Taurus

You can be in quite a dreamy state of mind today, dear Taurus, and this can serve as a pleasant detour from the strains, pressures, or monotony of everyday life. However, try not to sign anything or commit yourself to what appear to be amazing plans now, as they may turn out to be speculative ventures down the road. Others may be vague or hard to pin down, mainly friends and acquaintances. Even so, there is quite a bit of clarity in your home life and private worlds, particularly tonight. Financial planning, asking for a loan, or other practical activities that help you improve security tend to thrive. Someone close to you can be especially supportive now, and might offer some very sound advice.
Gemini

This may not be a straightforward day for matters related to career, life direction, and reputation, dear Gemini. There may be a misunderstanding to clear up and a general lack of purpose that makes it difficult to be productive. Signing a new contract or making a big purchase should probably wait, simply because the facts are not clear or some are not yet available. You may be able to set the record straight as early as tonight, however, when clear, logical thinking comes more naturally and you’ll be able to focus your mental energies very effectively. Look for a project that has long-term potential and work on it. There can also be clear thinking about a partnership or a good piece of advice coming from a partner or special friend. Even so, emotional energy does run high with a Full Moon occurring tomorrow morning.
Cancer

Some level of disillusionment may be something you struggle with today, dear Cancer, as you can feel vaguely out of touch and certainly not in the mood to be pushed or prodded. Hesitation and doubt are not bad words, however. Sometimes they delay things strategically, allowing us to catch up with what’s going on around us. If you keep your expectations realistic, you can bring more idealism and creativity to your life now, and this can be a very positive thing. Tonight is good for practical matters, however, mainly money and work. You are realistic in your thinking, if a tad conservative, and you can better envision what needs to be done to put yourself in a better position of security, both with your personal finances and in your job.
Leo

People and circumstances in your life can be a tad unreliable today, dear Leo, and it can be difficult to read others’ intentions. It’s probably better not to try too hard but do protect yourself by paying better attention to details. Being neglectful with money or overlooking discrepancies can add up and ultimately weigh you down. However, with some creativity, you might learn a handy new way to manage a financial matter or a new technique for increased intimacy. Avoid activities that require a lot of focus in the morning. Tonight, though, is good for credibility. Others take note of what you say and any advice you may give. Your maturity and ability to live in the “here and now” are in the spotlight. It’s a strong time for asking for what you want and for presenting your ideas, and it’s especially useful for making long-term plans.
Virgo

You may be inspired and creative today, dear Virgo, but you can also be led astray rather easily, so watch that you don’t put all of your eggs in one basket, especially on a social level. Try not to take any foolish risks now. Some of you could experience a chance meeting with an old or new friend. While social matters may not go as expected today, decision making about home and family issues can be successful. In this area, you see things rationally and logically — you’re thinking about the long term. You might also discuss a previously private matter in a matter-of-fact way, and this can clear the air and help others to open up as well. Loved ones tend to respect you and look to you for guidance. Keep in mind that a Full Moon occurs tomorrow, so take advantage of energy tonight that aids staying centered and grounded.
Libra

You may be looking to solve problems today, dear Libra, but don’t pull your hair out if solutions are not immediately apparent. In fact, approaching an issue from an entirely logical standpoint may not work out in the first half of the day. You may need to leave something alone a while and then come back to it later with a fresh perspective. Picking things apart can be useful, but not to the point that you no longer see the whole that the parts form. Even so, tonight is good for making solid, realistic plans for the future, particularly when it comes to “happiness” goals. You are able to see what you can realistically achieve, and you might decide to share your vision with others. At the very least, put your plans to writing — make lists as well as resolutions. Emotions may get the better of you tomorrow with a Full Moon occurring, but if channeled well, they can also motivate you to make important changes.
Scorpio

In some areas of life, particularly in your romantic or creative worlds, there can be some level of confusion today, dear Scorpio. Your imagination may run away with itself. Keep expectations realistic for best results. Even so, financial and business matters can be quite clear today. You can accomplish a lot and get ahead on important projects. As well, you stand in good stead with bosses, co-workers, parents, teachers, and those in authority. You might win recognition for your achievements now, or you learn that you are earning respect. This is a strong day for long-term career and financial planning. The winds can change dramatically between today and tomorrow, so take advantage of this time to sort out your affairs.
Sagittarius

Some confusion over shared resources or financial transactions is possible today, dear Sagittarius, so be very careful and even scrupulous if you’re dealing with these matters; or, better yet, save them for a clearer day. It’s best not to lend out money just now, or to place your bets on something iffy. There can be an increased appreciation for subtlety in your intimate life, and intriguing sharing experiences today, however. And, while there can be issues of clarity in some areas of life, you can be exceptionally clear in other life departments. It can be a good day for making your intentions known and for communications in general. Expressing your opinion in a diplomatic yet firm manner can win you respect. You can get rid of annoying paperwork now. It’s also a good time for a new course or learning process if you are so inclined. Things may become harried and hectic rather quickly between today and tomorrow. Stay centered.
Capricorn

Relationship dynamics that are too stale or repetitive can get under your skin today, dear Capricorn, but consider creative solutions to the problem instead of acting out and stirring up needless conflicts. You are craving more stability from your relationships, and along with stability can come some level of monotony, which is something you may well need to accept. Be a little more mindful of the words you choose to express yourself today. Stick with the familiar now instead of pushing your comfort zones. Long-term financial planning, research, and investigation can be very successful, as you are especially keen and able to spot details that you might overlook on another day. Discussion of personal matters can be rewarding now, as you can bring a stronger level of logic and rationality to these topics without emotionality limiting self-expression. Keep in mind, however, that a Full Moon occurring tomorrow morning can stir up and excite emotions. Distinguish between fact and fiction.
Aquarius

There may be some disappointments to deal with today, dear Aquarius. Daydreams can dominate, or possibly fuzzy thinking, so take a lighter schedule if possible. Setting too high or unrealistic expectations, or reading too much into what others say, can temporarily inflate your balloon, so to speak, but when it deflates, it can be quite a downer. Be reasonable in your expectations today, and while fantasy is appealing, it’s not productive if part of you believes it will come true and is disappointed if it doesn’t. Talks with friends or a partner can be very fruitful now, however, even if they are not especially colorful! Solid plans and formal matters do well. A partner can be a source of comfort, security, or advice now. However, with a Full Moon occurring tomorrow, the tides can turn quickly, and emotional color can deepen.
Pisces

Emotions are steadier today, dear Pisces, although there is still a tendency to feel a little lost and without direction. Passions are intense, but situations around you are confusing. You may not know how to proceed to go after what you want and desire, and typically you have more faith in your intuition. Try to go with the flow. While you may feel temporarily lost on a personal level today, this is a fine day for asking for what you want. It’s also positive for recognition for your intelligence or the work you do. Your eye for details is pronounced and can be put to full use now in professional matters. Your communications are received well, and a partner can be a source of comfort.
