Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 29th

 

Aries

This is a big idea day, dear Aries, but it can also be a time of impatience and disagreement. Communications of all kinds are emphasized, but especially those involving creative contacts, children, and romantic interests. You could come across as an “open book” now, as you tend to say what you think, but a lot is going on under the surface of things. You are full of enthusiasm for projects. Even so, it’s important not to get too carried away. Avoid off the cuff remarks as much as possible, as you could say something that completely misrepresents what you feel in your heart. Uranus in your sign turns retrograde today. For the coming five months, the personal changes you’re making are, for the most part, going on inside of you more than they are obvious. Personal plans may be put on hold or could slow down, perhaps due to circumstances, or because you are more inclined to second-guess things. Look beyond the frustration of the moment by recognizing that slowing down is a necessary part of the cycle.

Taurus

Be careful that your concern over family and others close to you isn’t interpreted as bossiness today, dear Taurus. You tend to have big ideas about what should be done, but a soft sell approach is probably best in the long run. Making plans for domestic matters is favored today, but the details will need to be filled in on a day when more practical energies are with you. This month, there is a lot of focus on family and domestic concerns, but at times this can conflict with a partner or close friendship, and this can be one of those moments. Try not to jump to conclusions. Uranus helps you break free from the past in important ways, and its five-month retrograde cycle begins today. It’s a time for processing recent events or changes and for dealing with internal changes. Dreams and intuition are more pronounced during this period, and they’re giving you meaningful messages. The more you let go of the weight of secrets and inauthentic behavior, the more you enjoy your life.

Gemini

Continuing and perhaps accelerating today, dear Gemini, restlessness can prompt you to make impulsive, ill-advised moves if you’re not mindful. While fantastic opportunities on learning levels can emerge, hold off on major decisions until you’ve had time to consider all the angles. Skipping over important details can be a problem today. Certainly, there is high energy available to you on a mental level today. You can be pumped up about your ideas. Watch for exaggeration, even within yourself. Keeping excess in check will help you greatly as this is a robust period for communications, new interests, and making connections. Uranus turns retrograde today and for the next five months, you’ll be doing some processing of recent changes and attitudes with regards to friendship, group, and networking connections. You are learning that you are truer to yourself when you act from your heart rather than simply react to others and changing circumstances around you.

Cancer

It’s not the best time for clear thinking about financial matters, dear Cancer. Moderation and patience are key at this point, but a little difficult to practice. Tame impulses if you are shopping today, simply because elevated moods can lead you to conveniently forget the future. While it’s important to expand your mind to dream up new ideas, particularly business or finance-related ones, resolve to fill in the important details at a later date. Mixing romance and money can be problematic now. Try not to bulldoze over others in conversations, as well. Uranus begins its yearly five-month retrograde cycle today, and you tend to ease up on reacting to external circumstances in favor of examining attitudes you can change inside of yourself. It’s a good period for dreaming up ways to take a few risks so that you can get to a more authentic place professionally speaking. Introspection is appropriate now. Analyze, plan, and reassess.

Leo

This can be a creative day, dear Leo, as you tend to think outside of the box, and your creative imagination is engaged. Even so, practical matters can suffer now if you’re not careful. You may have fabulous ideas now, but family or home matters can be in conflict with your personal plans, or people close to you may be feeling insecure or jealous of your attention to other things. There may be a disagreement that requires putting egos aside to resolve. Try not to jump to conclusions or speak out of turn. Impatience can lead to needless frustration. For approximately five months a year, Uranus is retrograde, and this retrograde cycle begins today. Changes are likely to be less dramatic and more internalized in the coming months as you examine what attitudes within need altering. Personal adventures may take a back seat to responsibilities now. As well, a partnership may be in a quieter stage.

Virgo

You may be opening up about something private today, dear Virgo, but it would be wise to think about what you are sharing and who you want to share it with. You may be stirring up some opposition or conflict with what you communicate. There can be a significant meeting or event that occurs behind the scenes today. Avoid fixating on an idea or opinion if it’s not serving you any good. Watch also for impatience with others – and even things! Slow your pace. While Uranus has been influencing your solar eighth house for some time and will continue to do so for a few more years, there are cycles of heavier change followed by cycles of internalizing issues and less visible, outward change. The latter is what is beginning for you today with Uranus turning retrograde for five months. You may be more introspective about your intimate and financial life during this period. It’s a strong time for thinking about how you depend on others, and how you can alter these dependencies in ways that benefit yourself and people you love.

Libra

While the day can be exciting on some levels, dear Libra, there can be some irritable tempers as well. Someone close to you can get quite fired up today – possibly impatient and provocative, or simply passionate. Reactions can lead to a confrontation of sorts, which may be positive if everyone’s treating one another with respect. It’s not the time to be indiscriminate with your money, especially when it comes to others handling it. You might also need to draw some boundaries with people who can be pushing your limits. The details of plans may not get attention today, but you can always refine them when you’re in a more practical headspace. There can be some confusing energy for close partnerships and romantic connections now with Uranus turning retrograde today. In the coming five months, freedom issues in a relationship may not be as overt or pressing, although they are still present on a psychological level. Don’t ignore them just because they’re internalized and not screaming at you – do some heavy thinking about your inner needs for change during this cycle.

Scorpio

There is a spirit of impulsiveness today, dear Scorpio, but you can find ways to make it work for you rather than against you. For example, you can enjoy an extra dose of courage to complete something you’ve avoided. It will be important to avoid hasty communications, however, as there is a real tendency now to be quick to anger, or to exaggerate. There is good energy for recognition and career advancement this month, but impatience should be tamed. Be on the watch for openings and opportunities, particularly involving career, business, finances, and reputation. Who you know may be important right now. Even so, it may be best not to take on major new work projects, but attention to work in progress is helpful These days are best used for revision and refinement than brand new endeavors with Uranus now retrograde in your solar sixth house for the coming five months. Take stock of your current arrangement, schedule, and routine. Learn more about yourself and try to align your behavior such that it’s a more accurate reflection of your true nature rather than simply a reaction to the changing circumstances around you.

Sagittarius

This has some potential to be a spontaneous, creative day, dear Sagittarius, but impatience or restlessness should be tamed in order to enjoy the extra courage accessible now. Someone could be provoking you, and your reaction may be to go to extremes. You might be considering taking up an activity that you previously felt was not possible. The important thing is that you’re feeling inspired and allowing new ideas to flow, but rushing things may lead to spoilage. You are discovering new things about yourself with the long-term influence of Uranus in your sector of romance, creativity, and entertainment. With Uranus turning retrograde for the next five months, as it does each year, changes are less drastic, at least on the surface of things. It’s time to look within to explore internal needs for change, which could be attracting the outer events. With introspection, you can come up with ways to steer your life in order to feel more in control. Creative projects can benefit from some review and refinement.

Capricorn

There can be a hurried pace to the day, dear Capricorn. Try to be quick but not hasty. You might feel consumed by a desire to get to the meaning behind an issue that you feel is pressing, but it’s best not to push something right now, as tempting as it may be. Talking about your feelings or intimate matters can be fun and rewarding. You could be trying to open up a topic that is usually taboo or left unspoken. Discussions may be frank, but avoid brusqueness or overly blunt statements now. Uranus is retrograde for the coming five months. Its long-term transit of your sector of home and family may have brought some instability to your personal life, and for some of you, this state of flux has led to some stress. Even so, emotional breakthroughs may also be occurring. Attitudes towards security, dependency, attachment to the past, and family or domestic life are evolving. During this inward-looking retrograde cycle, you’ll be getting in touch with what may be at the root of changes or rebellious behaviors.

Aquarius

It can be an animated day, dear Aquarius, and it’s important to enjoy the extra courage that it brings, but avoid hasty and risky decisions, moves, and speech. Communications with others are significant and in focus today, and you are enthusiastic about sharing your ideas. However, it’s important not to get so caught up in what you’re trying to say that you end up alienating or overpowering others. It’s also important not to overstate. Open up the lines of communication but be sure it’s two-way and considerations of the heart are involved. Not everyone is in the mood for debate. Someone may be happily discussing, while the other person considers it an argument, for example. Tension with a partner and/or a person in authority can emerge today. Your ruler, Uranus, turns retrograde today, and this can bring pent up feelings to the surface, and yet you may not feel that you can express them adequately. You are entering a five-month cycle of re-examination of the path you’re taking, how you’re expressing yourself, and how others are receiving you.

Pisces

There is much attention to work, health, and habits these days, dear Pisces, and for the most part, you’re in a good position to make improvements. You can resolve many problems through brainstorming and analysis. Watch for rushing things and people. Keep in mind that haste makes waste today. Otherwise, enjoy extra courage or motivation to handle pesky matters. Uranus has been gradually detaching you from the values you’ve previously held. There may have been some upsets in your finances, as well as some moving around of funds, and while this can be worrisome at times, ultimately you’re moving towards a whole new way of expressing yourself. As well, as you rewrite what you value, the respect you attract into your life evolves. You are discovering unique natural talents and learning to embrace and develop them. With Uranus turning retrograde today, the next five months will be good for working on inner attitudes that need to change so that you can move forward more authentically. Use this time to review plans, particularly related to business and money.
