Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your feelings rise to the surface today, even if you try to keep them hidden.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You’re in a rather feisty mood today, yet your confidence might not be up to par. Still, you’re willing to put yourself on the line and tell it like it is — even if you’re not sure about what’s going on now. There’s no need to overcompensate by pretending that everything is fine. Instead, acknowledge your uncertainty and see what lessons you can learn about yourself.

You may be facing some of your own fears and insecurities today, even if they appear to be coming from someone else. It feels as if your friends aren’t telling you everything that they know, but it could just be their lack of clarity. Nevertheless, it seems like you’re missing something significant.

You may not handle emotional uncertainty very well but, paradoxically, you don’t mind your own ambivalence. You just don’t like it when it comes from someone else.

You’re energized to do something new and different before the imaginative Pisces Moon leaves your 5th House of Fun.

It’s challenging to get a handle on the day because every situation seems to take its own course without regard to your preferences. The uncertainty of how to respond to the twists and turns of events makes the day an unsolvable riddle.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Those closest to you might think that you aren’t very dependable today, but they may have unrealistic expectations.

You could be pleasantly surprised when you receive more support than you expect.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, August 4

Although we might try to clear up recent sloppy thinking, our fantasies remain larger than life today. Rational Mercury in expressive Leo encourages us to say exactly what we mean, but its retrograde motion makes the right words elusive. Additionally, Mercury’s slippery quincunx to hazy Neptune can hijack logic and blur reality. It’s easy to confuse fact and fiction now, especially as the imaginative Pisces Moon squares opinionated Jupiter.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your feet might not touch the ground today, for cosmic influences are pulling you into the spiritual and dream realms. You’re eager to leave your chores behind for a while so you can space out.

A balanced approach to life isn’t always the easiest to maintain, but is smartest in the long run.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

There are contradictory messages bubbling up from deep within your soul now. You might even feel as if you are at odds with yourself throughout the day.

Stay in touch with your changing feelings, even if you don’t share them at this time.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may jump back and forth today between an all-inclusive view of your life and a highly specific one that’s very detail-oriented. On one hand, your imagination soars and you can see your life from a global perspective. However, the problem is that you cannot act on the grandiose visions now. Bring the big ideas back down to earth and proceed one step at a time to reach your goals.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you may appear to resist change, you are probably much more adaptable than others realize. After all, you Crabs are in tune with the rhythms of the sea. But now, as the emotional tides shift, it’s difficult to tell which way the waters will be flowing. Don’t be overly concerned if you cannot figure out exactly where you are now. Hold on to your present position until you see where you’re going next. Give it a few days; the confusion will pass.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It is challenging to separate your dreams from what’s real now, but the hard cold facts just won’t go away. You’re caught between the relationship fantasies you create and the limitations that you must acknowledge day to day. Focus on the positive tangible aspects so you can remain open to the love around you, even if it isn’t quite what you imagined.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your spiritual and metaphysical interests may be gaining a more significant role in your life these days. There are big changes on the horizon, but they might already be influencing the subtle yet powerful realms of your subconscious mind. Instead of staying so wrapped up in your data, let go of the analytical perspective in order to get the most from your imagination. You can always refocus on the specifics later in the week.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are the zodiac’s champion of balance, and you can now feel the cosmic conflict pulling part of you into the spiritual realm as the other part of you must manage the real world.

The best way to assure that you will get what you want is to learn to walk comfortably in both worlds.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be unclear about where you’re going in your career now that confusing Neptune is aligning with retrograde Mercury in your 10th House of Career. Although your role in the outer world is important to you, thinking about your goals raises confusing issues. If your employment isn’t fulfilling, it might be time to place more attention on the inner dimensions rather than material success. There’s no quick or easy answer as you attempt to discern which is more important. Reflecting on what makes your heart sing is a good place to start.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your dilemma du jour is a familiar old pattern that resonates from time to time. You wish that you could live your life in a big way, as if you were an action hero in an adventure story.

It’s best to manage the practical issues first before engaging in discussions of grandiose possibilities.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Although you typically prefer to keep both feet firmly on the ground, you might spend much of today lost in daydreams.

Strive to maintain clarity as you work with them, for there is potential to misunderstand each other’s basic values. Thankfully, conscious communication can help you navigate through this tricky territory.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Intimate relationships could be a source of confusion today, especially if you aren’t really listening to what the other person is saying.

A lessening of the current tensions occurs naturally by simply allowing multiple points of view to exist side by side in peace.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

There are demands being placed on you today, but you might not realize it until it’s too late.

Your Daily Horoscopes for August 3

We see the world through the subjective filters of our own imagination today. We begin to lose objectivity when the Moon swims into watery Pisces at 9:57 am EDT. The fluidity of compassion and spirit are common to us all as the Moon moves through the sign of the Fish, and her midday conjunction with otherworldly Neptune again reminds us that the seas dissolve boundaries. We are more empathic now since there is only one ocean of consciousness.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Confusion may arise today as fast as you can gain clarity. Every question you answer just peels off another layer of the growing onion. Seeking positive solutions may feel like a hopeless battle. However, it’s good to remember that with strength and determination, Hercules was able to defeat the Hydra who grew two new heads each time one was cut off. You can be the hero of your own world if you summon your courage from the wellsprings within.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s difficult to get a handle on the day today as circumstances keep changing. However, the greatest challenges may come from your friends or associates now because of the Moon’s presence in your 11th House of Social Networking. You’re ready to withdraw and separate yourself from the group if others aren’t sensible and reliable. But you don’t have to move so fast; there are goodies to be discovered if you allow enough time to untangle the complexities before giving up.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It can be disarming if your data aims you one way while an intuitive hunch suggests that you should be doing something else. It’s hard to know what to do, since you tend to ultimately rely on the facts. Instead of jumping to any conclusions, consider all your possibilities until your feelings are more aligned with the circumstances. You’ll feel better about what your choice if you wait before swinging into action.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You have gathered all the necessary information and have successfully withheld your feelings as you developed your plan. Although you can be very patient when needed, you grow so restless today that you don’t want to wait any longer. However, you may be more focused on your ideal fantasy now than you are on reality. You’ve made it this far, so don’t blow it by acting too soon. The turning point is next week.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

What someone else says today can wound you, but it’s crucial to look past the current circumstance and carefully consider the true source of the pain.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Irrational fears about a relationship may come to the surface today, but you might not be able to talk about your deeply rooted emotions easily.

Think about what you’re going to say, and then go for it. It will become easier once you start.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may not be all that clear about what you can do to make yourself happier now, but it’s likely that change is needed in your daily routine. It seems like this should be an easy task, but the closer you get to taking action, the more difficult it becomes. Don’t give up just because you are feeling confused today. Trust in yourself and your clarity will return.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You can’t stop thinking about something that’s been bothering you recently. You intuitively understand that the only way anything will get better is to talk about it until the energy settles. However, it’s difficult to bring your intense feelings out into the open because the resultant vulnerability makes you uncomfortable. Be courageous and move directly toward the source of your discomfort, not away from it.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

This is one of those days when your head and your heart aren’t reading from the same adventure novel. You may be feeling softer and more compassionate than you are acting as your cavalier behavior masks your vulnerability. Thankfully, you can regain your focus by looking within and exploring your motives for not sharing what’s in your heart. There’s no need to hide behind a false sense of bravado; just be yourself.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your imagination is far more active now that the Moon is paddling through your watery sign.

Once you are in touch with the meaning, you can change your attitude about what’s happening.

Your Love Horoscope for the Weekend of Aug. 3 – 5

Weekend Love: Lunar Love by Jeff Jawer

Love Without Limits

August 3 – 5

Sweet romantic dreams and escapes from reality help love flow more freely this weekend. The Moon is in sensitive Pisces from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon, inviting escapes and getaways where problems are left behind. Let go of practical matters as much as possible to enjoy the fantasyland of delight offered by this compassionate and boundless Water sign. Feelings flow easily when we don’t bog them down with criticism or overthinking.

A lunar conjunction with Pisces’ mystical ruling planet Neptune imbues Friday with an extra dose of compassion and creativity that can melt barriers between hearts and turn an ordinary day into a memorable one. Imagination may be the greatest aphrodisiac, and it’s plentiful with the Moon in Pisces. Music, movies, and all the arts touch our souls, and nature’s generosity allows us all to feel loved without judgment. Vulnerability is high, though, so we should be especially kind to others. Finding common ground is easy when we stop worrying about minor matters that can keep us apart. A spiritual perspective allows us to feel safe enough to let go of our doubts. Surrender to the pleasures of having no ambition other than the desire to share your life without limits.

Your Daily Horoscopes for August 2nd

It’s easier to ask for what we want today as the Sun in expressive Leo forms an anxious semisquare with romantic Venus. An optimistic Sun-Jupiter sextile further encourages us to take a risk for love. However, physical Mars aligns with dreamy Neptune, adding confusion to the mix. We may have confidence at first, but lose steam throughout the day. Fortunately, the intelligent Aquarius Moon gives us glimpses of clarity so we know how to proceed.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Quirky expressions of energy may be motivated by very straightforward desires today. But even if you know what you want, it’s difficult to put your feelings into words. Try not to judge yourself too harshly if you give up before you can make someone understand you. Knowing when to back off reduces the stress for everyone. Being patient helps your cause now; remember communicator Mercury ends its retrograde phase next week and things will begin to turn around.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You believe that life should be simple, but it’s not. Your current work situation may be causing tension, prompting you to worry about your financial circumstances. You can make it all work out, but the solutions won’t be what you expect. Take the initiative and talk about your dilemma, since clear communication must be a key component of your strategy today.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You excel as a communicator, but you have been holding back some of your thoughts recently. You may be getting bored with this self-restraint because you’re feeling charged up and ready for some fun. However, others might resist your plans if you push too hard or move too quickly. There’s no need to upset anyone with your sense of urgency. You will be more successful getting what you want if you continue to take your time and proceed with sensitivity.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It seems as if you need to concentrate on taking care of yourself now, but you might not know how. Although someone may not be giving you what you want, there’s no reason to think you’ll remain unfulfilled. You could scare off others if you appear desperate, so acting in a self-sufficient manner is a smarter approach. When you take decisive action on your own behalf, those around will be more likely to respond supportively.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You feel more connected with your heart now, but a close friend or partner might think you’re self-absorbed. Unfortunately, you could become fixated on getting something that you want. You may not realize how much of a negative impact your neediness has on those around you. Thankfully, your personal relationships deepen when you trust your instincts without pushing others too far.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may believe that you’re building your future on a solid foundation today, yet your plans are not as grounded in reality as they seem. The good news is that your confident yet unrealistic vision of what’s ahead could actually turn out to be what you get if you’re willing to follow through with hard work. Don’t let yourself get discouraged if you experience a setback; just pick yourself up and try again. Success comes to those who don’t give up.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

There’s relationship tension brewing today, but it’s hard to know what to do about it. Your key planet Venus is in whimsical Gemini now, putting you in touch with your inner butterfly. It’s easy for you to flit around an issue without fully engaging it. Although you may get fired up with energetic Mars in your sign, its alignment with nebulous Neptune later this evening lessens the stress all the way around. Be patient; you should be able to refocus your intentions tomorrow.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be seeking ways to express your individuality at home today with the Moon currently visiting your 4th House of Family. Although the Moon’s harmonious trines with hot Mars and cold Saturn prompt you to act in a more thoughtful and gracious manner, you’re not interested in living your life on stage now where you can be judged by others. Nevertheless, you’re capable of doing nearly anything as long as you know exactly what role you play in the larger picture.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

This is your kind of day, even if there is a difficult emotional issue that needs to be resolved. On one hand, you feel as if your future is opening up before your eyes, in spite of the current dilemma. On the other hand, there are so many choices that you’re uncertain of which way to go. Fortunately, you can take the pressure off the relationship tension by focusing on long-range goals instead of your more immediate concerns.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You finally have a clever way to handle an outstanding financial concern, but achieving real progress may be harder than you think. Fortunately, your logic is sound; trusting your analysis of the current situation is a wise idea. But instead of swinging into motion right away, let things continue to develop for a few days before taking action. Giving yourself a little more time can turn a brilliant plan into a strategy for success.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might be distracted today by someone close to you as demands of a friend or co-worker prevent you from doing something that you really want to do. It may seem as if there is no immediate way out of this conflict, but beneath the surface tension is your firm belief that everything will somehow work out for the best. Thankfully, a positive outcome is likely, but allow a few extra days before you request to revisit the conversation.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It feels as if everything is up in the air now, and there’s no quick release button to push that gives you an easy way out of the current tension. Your logic won’t lead to a solution but, paradoxically, your dreams might. Instead of seeking a concrete answer to your questions, allow your fantasies to take you along for a ride. Without the stress of having to find an immediate resolution, your imagination is free to show you exactly what you need to know at this time.

The Moon’s entry into humanitarian Aquarius at 5:55 am EDT shifts our focus from personal issues toward more global realms. Our emotions continue to grow stronger until the Full Moon at 11:27 pm.

Your energy may run out of control today as your creativity blossoms.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Today’s Aquarius Full Moon falls in your 9th House of Big Ideas, broadening your mental horizons. Unfortunately, this wider perspective can be confusing because you may pick up extra noise along with the important data you need to know.

You are deeply connected to lunar rhythms and can’t help but be moved by the intensity of today’s Aquarius Full Moon that brightens your 8th House of Intimacy.

The Aquarius Full Moon is especially powerful for you Lions, illuminating your 7th House of Relationships.

You will be happier and healthier if you feel everything fully today, even if you keep your revelations to yourself.

Enjoy the show while you can without worrying too much about the future.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Today’s Aquarius Full Moon is buried in your 4th House of Roots, but it’s not a smart idea to suppress your emotions.

Instead, reconsider your priorities and deal with the underlying issues rather than the symptoms for enduring results.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Aquarius Full Moon falls in your 3rd House of Communications, inspiring you to write a letter or make a phone call that you were previously avoiding.

Be patient and allow everyone enough time to assimilate your words before changing the subject.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are highly productive when you set your mind to a specific goal. However, you could physically exhaust yourself if you aren’t careful now, because you’re riding a surge of energy that continues to build over the days ahead.

Your heightened sense of urgency may stem from unrealistic fears today as the Aquarius Full Moon illuminates your 12th House of Secrets.

Doing this simple relaxation exercise often throughout the day helps you accomplish more than you thought possible.

Your Daily Horoscopes for July 31

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You feel as if you have been riding a rollercoaster recently with all your emotional ups and downs. However, now you’re more even-keeled as you get a handle on the relationship between what you desire and what you’re willing to give up in order to get it.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Someone could be secretly pulling strings behind the scenes in order to get his or her way. However, you’re not willing to give up your power until you try to bend reality in your direction. It’s challenging to deal with the situation if you don’t know the whole truth. But instead of trying to uncover anyone’s hidden agenda, just concentrate on your own positive action. Save the detective work for some other day.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You know what’s possible today and what’s not. You have a realistic outlook on life now, indicating that this may be a good time to make a decision about a major purchase or a job change.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Clarity returns today, allowing you to have confidence about an important decision you must make. However, it’s a mistake to believe that your current choice is your final one because logical Mercury is retrograde in your 12th House of Destiny.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You probably know more than you’re saying today and no one can get you to spill the beans. Perhaps a friend told you something in confidence, or maybe you just haven’t yet put your ideas into words.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You realize that a special relationship is more complicated than it appears, but you’re afraid to disturb what seems to be working so well. Luckily, you’re blessed with sensible friends who will tell you their honest opinions today. Thankfully, the advice they give you now is sound. The current window of opportunity won’t last, so don’t procrastinate. If you want another perspective, ask before it’s too late.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your friends may grow weary of your tap dancing today because it’s obvious that you don’t want to be pinned down. They would prefer that you say what’s on your mind without beating around the bush or talking in vague generalities. Don’t let your natural resistance to making a commitment turn your allies into enemies. Focus on creating stability, not upsetting it. Honor your friendships by appreciating your loved ones in the present moment.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your ruling planet Saturn basks in the warmth of delicious Venus today, encouraging you to be extra considerate of those you love. Others are attracted to your current easygoing style, but that doesn’t mean you’re carefree enough to ignore your responsibilities. Although you’re motivated to pursue pleasure now, meet your obligations first and then head out to play with your friends.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be quite serious about relationships today, but you still want to be seen as a person who knows how to have a good time. However, it isn’t easy to enjoy yourself fully now unless you are engaged in creative projects that involve working with others. Achieving satisfaction is more likely if you don’t set your goals too high. Unfortunately, you could become so lazy that you don’t do much at all. Find a way to balance the two extremes since your current happiness depends on it.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may have to struggle to get a meaningful relationship back on track, especially if you’re currently in the doghouse. Thankfully, you can make up for lost time or bad behavior by paying extra attention to what others need today. But don’t assume that you can earn bonus points by doing all the right things; you’re off to a bad start if you’re keeping score. The best way to re-establish trust now is to combine kindness with honesty while staying present in each and every interaction.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, July 30th

The atmosphere is so electric that we can feel the charge in the air. An eagerness to change leads to ingenious solutions to even the most complex problems. But the superconductive Sun-Uranus trine is tempered by the Moon’s entry into conservative Capricorn at 3:29 am EDT. Nevertheless, caution gives way to movement as the Moon joins intense Pluto and squares unstable Uranus. Thankfully, planets in adaptable Gemini today should keep us flexible.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Something wonderful is going to happen. Although you might not know what it is yet, you can feel it in every cell of your body. Perhaps your willingness to take more of a risk today is what stirs up the excitement. Just remember to discuss your intentions with others before involving them in your crazy plans, since they may not be as eager for the same kind of action.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might not be able to get fully comfortable today and your restlessness isn’t helping anyone else relax either. Your anxiety stems in part from what you aren’t saying now. It’s not productive to pretend that all is well if you wish you were doing something else. Remember, the first step to making others happy is to speak from your heart. Your true friends will understand that sometimes you need to follow your bliss.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Today’s rumbling of excitement rattles your nerves. It may even be challenging to sit still because you want to move physically in resonance with your hyperactive mind. You have an endless string of clever ideas and witty remarks now, but unless you narrow your thinking, the day will end with little to show for all your brilliance. Channel your creativity wisely and use your extra energy to perform random acts of kindness.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you’re normally afraid of losing control, you may have an uncharacteristic attraction to the rush of adrenaline today. You’re up for almost anything, and if nothing exciting is going on, then you might step forward as the instigator. Obstacles fall to the wayside as you dance into a day filled with fun. Spread the joy; it’s contagious.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You seem to be in the flow today. Others think your light is shining brightly and that all is right in your world. However, your emotions are agitated and there’s pandemonium beneath the surface, even if everything appears placid. This kind of intensity might normally be overwhelming, but now you are eager to shoot the rapids of the emotional white waters. Grab your metaphorical kayak and start paddling.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You want your co-workers to enjoy themselves and you’re willing to expend an extraordinary level of energy to accomplish this goal today. This could be a very social day, so make the most of it by doing something outside your regular routine. Your approach to life is more unconventional than usual, which can be quite thrilling. Shine your light of love and good feelings will reflect back in return.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Everyone expects you to be the steady backbone of the group, but you aren’t interested in playing your regular role by trying to hold it all together today. You prefer your day to be without unnecessary social responsibilities, and could go to great lengths to make your point. Even if you don’t want to upset others with your need to rebel, tell them what you desire. And don’t act too surprised when you receive unexpected support from an unusual source.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s challenging to navigate a course between your need for a quiet retreat and your desire to partake in the scheduled festivities with everyone else. Your friends would like to spend more time with you now, since you can be more fun than you realize. Don’t write off any social engagements just because you think it will distract you from your inner work. The juice you get from others gives you something special that solitude never will.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Group activities allow you to accomplish more today, but you might have to pay too steep of a price. Of course, being a part of a group can also be a lot of fun. Nevertheless, there’s a rebellious part of you that wants to break loose and demonstrate your own unique individuality by striking out on your own. However, solitude isn’t the best answer now. Chill out and allow others to do the planning and set the pace. All you need to do is show up and smile.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Leave your sense of duty behind today so you can have some good old-fashioned fun. This irresponsible behavior may be difficult because you Goats work hard and aspire to greatness, but you truly deserve a break. Forget about your previous accomplishments and don’t worry about what you need to do tomorrow. Just ride the exhilarating wave of enthusiasm now; letting go restores your spirit while also spicing up your life.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

This is a highly stimulating day, so it could be difficult to stay on target if you have specific tasks that need finishing. The Sun is illuminating your key planet, wild Uranus, giving you permission to get a little crazy in your interactions with friends and family. Go ahead, take a chance and embrace the unknown.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Everything is a bit more hectic today as your thoughts run around in circles. But this isn’t just about a few random ideas; you actually seek out external events now to match your internal intensity. Unfortunately, you may feel disappointed if you can’t find anyone special to share your passion, but don’t let your frustration turn into discouragement. Instead, aim your energy outward and indulge in an activity for the sake of sheer enjoyment.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of July 30th

The sociable Aquarius Full Moon on Wednesday night sets the tone for a fun and friendly week. Generous Jupiter joins the party with favorable aspects to the Sun and Moon, inspiring curiosity in different kinds of people and encouraging openness to a variety of experiences. On Friday morning, there’s a subtle shift from cool to cuddly when the Moon slips into imaginative Pisces, giving sweet permission for romance to trump reality.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Supporting friends in need or working for a worthy cause may not sound sexy, but builds a network of trust this week that pays big dividends later on. Privacy is a priority for most of the weekend and you might feel the need to seek out some peace and quiet. You’re likely to come out of your shell on Sunday when the Moon fires into your dynamic sign to get your adrenaline pumping. You’re in a risk-taking mood as restless feelings make you ready for romantic action.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Expect plenty of positive attention with Wednesday’s innovative Aquarius Full Moon shining in your very public 10th House. Putting the interests of others before your own is key to making a strong impression throughout the week. The more open-minded and generous you are now, the more likely you’ll earn the affection that you desire. What might look like sacrificial behavior on the surface is the best way to attract a loving partner.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Visions of faraway places add spice to your relationship life now. An incredibly insightful Aquarius Full Moon lands in your 9th House of Higher Mind and Travel on Wednesday, stretching your social horizons. Expansive Jupiter in your sign supports this lunar event, encouraging your clever ideas and enhancing your gift of gab. Still, less words and more emotion is a better strategy for achieving intimacy if you are hoping to connect romantically over the weekend.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You could reach a turning point in relationships with this week’s Aquarius Full Moon lighting up your 8th House of Intimacy. This airy lunation blows in fresh breezes of objectivity, enabling you to see your situation more clearly. If you have a partner, it may be time to reassess your expectations. If you’re single, attracting an unconventional individual is possible. Either way, opening your mind is essential for the chemistry to work.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

This could be a breakthrough week in romantic matters thanks to Wednesday’s quirky Aquarius Full Moon brightening your 7th House of Partnerships. Unexpected events or surprising interactions could challenge your ideas about who and what you need to make you happy. Exploring unfamiliar territory and allowing someone else to lead the way require trust and a flexible attitude. It may feel unnatural at first, but relinquishing control now will breathe more excitement into your relationships.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The psychic Pisces Moon warms your 7th House of Partners this weekend with compassionate companionship. Fantasy and romance flourish as you disconnect from your routine tasks and allow your imagination guide your actions. A creative individual helps you to imagine a magical world where the barriers to closeness melt away. Let go of petty details so you don’t miss out on this sweetly satisfying scenario.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Amorous feelings are on the rise with Wednesday’s innovative Aquarius Full Moon falling in your 5th House of Romance. Yet this emotional event can push you to extremes with moments of unbridled confidence interspersed with significant self-doubt. Break through your old patterns by taking some chances when expressing yourself. It’s healthier to follow your own creative impulses now than to be overly concerned about how others might react.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Restlessness is likely with Wednesday’s high-frequency Aquarius Full Moon rattling your 4th House of Roots. Shaking things up on the home front is risky but is better than silently stewing with resentment. There’s a delightful shift on Friday as the Moon enters surreal Pisces and your 5th House of Romance to end your week on a magical note. Imagination opens your heart, making you a more captivating companion.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The quirky Aquarius Full Moon kicks up your interest in unusual people and experiences on Wednesday. This high-energy lunar event lands in your communicative 3rd House, making it easy to strike up conversations in the course of your daily activities. You may slip into a more sensitive mood this weekend, perhaps even preferring to spend time alone or with one special individual who you don’t have to impress. Whatever you do, take time to listen to your dreams.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Try a little tenderness this weekend with the Moon floating into inspiring Pisces on Friday. This boundary-melting transit occurs in your communicative 3rd House, which may turn a simple little chat into a magical moment. Instead of taking life so literally, let your imagination loose and you could be rewarded with a romance surprise. Creative companions are much more desirable than critical ones now. Cast a positive light wherever you go and you never know who might notice.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Staying cool and calm isn’t easy this week with a super energized Full Moon occupying your sign on Wednesday. If you’re not happy with your relationship life now, you are ready to make an impulsive move. It’s fine to take some risks as long as you’re sensitive enough to back off if you’re heading in a dangerous direction. Getting noticed comes easily now, but don’t act out simply for shock value since that kind of attention is not likely to last very long. Consider your audience before you speak from your heart.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon moseys into your sweet sign on Friday to melt boundaries and dissolve barriers this weekend. If you’re stuck in a tough place with a partner, it’s time to speak truthfully, but with the kindness it takes to be real without becoming hurtful. Playing dress up and allowing your imagination to lead the way makes this a memorable time. Let yourself have fun exploring a different look and attitude, which can reignite your relationship life in a delightful way.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, July 26

Our passions deepen when we hold on to a feeling instead of releasing it. The fixed Scorpio Moon brings self-assurance if we consciously focus the intensity of our emotions; however, too much inflexibility invites frustration. Magnetic Venus aligns with electric Uranus, tempting us with sudden attractions. Meanwhile, we can inadvertently overpower others as an awkward Mercury-Pluto quincunx makes it difficult to estimate the impact of our words.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Waiting for what happens next requires more effort than just dealing with a current situation, yet an immediate solution seems elusive. You wish that you could relax your jangled nerves today, but it feels as if you have a significant part to play in a power struggle and haven’t been given a script to follow. Being flexible is crucial; stay loose and you will be ready to engage in the drama as it happens.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might wish that you could get back to a familiar routine today, but something isn’t quite right. No matter how many ways you analyze the facts, you still don’t seem to be able to put your finger on the source of the problem. Unfortunately, you can’t just banish the lingering discontentment by avoiding the subject. Thankfully, talking with your friends in a cool and calm manner helps to ease your emotional discomfort and puts you in a positive frame of mind.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You think that you know what you should do today, especially if you’ve given it a lot of thought before you made up your mind. Unfortunately, reality isn’t necessarily as cooperative as you wish. It might seem as if the universe is resisting your decisions now for no apparent reason. Don’t be overly concerned if there’s a gap between your desires and your current circumstances. Keep your eye on the destination; although it may take a few days, the conflict will resolve on its own.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might feel as if you have stewed in your own juices long enough. You’re ready to act on what you know today, even if you cannot see where your current decision will ultimately lead. It may be challenging to accept the instability at work, but your needs must also be taken into consideration when making choices now. Don’t reject what doesn’t fit in; success is more attainable when your professional aspirations are in harmony with your personal goals.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might feel overwhelmed by the feelings that tug on your heartstrings today. Unfortunately, you let yourself get hooked by the dramas of life too easily. Luckily, your inner strength can save you now. Even if you believe you’re exempt from playing by the same rules as everyone else, at least remember that open and honest communication is still the most important thing.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Coming to terms with your powerful desires may require that you do a few mental gymnastics today. However, it’s not as simple as you wish because clever Mercury is being sideswiped by mysterious Pluto. One minute you have everything figured out and then just a few minutes later, you’re not so sure. For now, it’s wise to take yourself a little less seriously. Having a healthy sense of humor is like using a lubricating oil that makes everything move along with less friction.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Whatever positive intentions you have now, they might not be sufficient to carry you through the day. Other people seem to be testing your composure to see if you can maintain your cool and still act graciously, even if you’re secretly ready to explode. Fortunately, you won’t lose your temper if you remember to release pressure gradually by expressing your feelings before they build to a critical level. Take a deep breath before you speak.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might be so focused on the outcome of a current work project that you become distracted from what’s happening in the present moment. The reflective Moon in your sign increases your connection to your subconscious mind, making it even more crucial to maintain a handle on what is real now. Honor the creativity that comes from your imagination while staying aware of what matters most.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You could work yourself into a state of high anxiety today as you strive to manage the complexities of your life. Thankfully, circumstances aren’t as overwhelming as they seem, yet your annoyance is real, nonetheless. Previous obligations may prevent you from being as socially active as you wish. Luckily, there’s no need to worry so much; many of the situations that are up in the air will sort themselves out within the next week.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your life is full of contradictions today because you must put out fires by responding to multiple situations. Paradoxically, you don’t seem to be overly concerned about what’s happening. It’s not that you don’t care; it’s just that you have so much on your plate now that it’s nearly impossible to get overly involved in any single issue. Thankfully, this detachment can work to your advantage by enabling you to stay calm while handling the demands of the day.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

A disagreement that springs up over differing points of view could be blown out of proportion today. Although there may be a very real issue behind the current dispute, it’s also possible that you’re battling with your own imagination. Anger can rear its ugly head, stemming from something entirely unrelated, such as your inability to reach your stated goals. Assuming full responsibility for your own success or failure minimizes the possibility of taking your frustration out on the wrong person.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel agitated about something at work today, but you don’t have an obvious target for your nervous energy. Powerful emotions that are stirring in your subconscious motivate you to find courage you didn’t know you had. Listen carefully to what you are being told now, even if the message isn’t what you want to hear. Instead of acting on your first impulse, wait for the deeper lessons to emerge before making your move.

Your Daily Horoscopes for July 25

It’s difficult to do anything useful with all the brilliant thoughts running through our heads today. Mental breakthroughs are likely with retrograde Mercury forming a superconductive trine with inventive Uranus. However, the objective Libra Moon connects with sober Saturn, raining on our mental parade of original ideas and prompting us to doubt ourselves. Our perspective intensifies as the Moon shifts into insightful Scorpio at 10:29 pm EDT.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although your intentions are clear today, your follow-through might fall short of success. Your words get muddled and your ideas can be lost in what appears to be sloppy thinking. Thankfully, your uncertainty also offers the possibility of inspiration. Stop trying to convince everyone that your way is the only path to success. There’s no need to justify your feelings.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s tough to settle down and live in the present moment because your mind is hyperactive today. You are easily distracted by co-workers or friends who engage you in discussions about everything except what you should be doing. Establishing boundaries may be futile, since you find each and every conversation quite fascinating. There’s no need to make sense of it all now; just float through the day with as little resistance as possible.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can skip your second cup of coffee today because your brain is exploding with too many crazy ideas. It’s nearly impossible to focus on any one of them long enough to matter. Just when you realize how to make use of a new concept, something distracts you and you’re off to ride the next train of thoughts. Instead of trying to control your thinking now, let the stream of consciousness take you wherever it flows. You will be able to regain your concentration with a fresh attitude tomorrow.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

There is a lot going on in your world today, yet you have the ability to limit your field of perceptions to drown out much of the noise. Others are impressed by your apparent calmness in the middle of chaos, and you can use this to your advantage. Don’t let anyone know if you are lacking in confidence now; everyone’s faith in you will ultimately inspire you to perform your tasks even better.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You can speak your piece in a manner that sounds more casual than you actually feel today. Your uncertainty about a recent choice makes it easy to set your personal agenda aside for a while and follow any whim that comes along, even if it doesn’t support your long-term goals. It’s impossible to know what the universe has in store for you now, but rest assured that there’s a master plan that you haven’t seen yet.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be feeling on edge today, but you can’t connect your free-floating anxiety to any single cause. Instead of just forgetting your concerns, you might attempt to exert more control over your immediate environment, but this isn’t a useful strategy now. The tighter you hold on to the reins of reality, the more surprises you will encounter. Instead, yielding to external circumstances alleviates the building pressure and soothes your ruffled feathers.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Self-doubt is a waste of your time and energy, but questioning the viability of your strategy today is not. Daydreams may float in and out of awareness throughout the day, yet you should be able to recognize the fantasies and separate them from your more realistic thoughts. Be courageous and think outside of the box now, for your most radical ideas could be your best ones.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A close friend may come to the rescue today with practical advice. But you aren’t sure that you want help and are tempted to reject any outside interference. Instead of viewing any offers as an indication of your failure, turn this into an opportunity to deepen the bonds between you and someone else. Remember, accepting assistance from those you trust is a sign of intelligence and strength.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re so concerned about doing the right thing now that you might miss your chance to make real connections with your friends or associates. You may feel as if you’ve been pushed to the edge as decisions bear down on you. However, it’s not smart to make a choice if you are feeling pressured. Instead of worrying about your next move, take some time to explore your relationships without placing any encumbering expectations on your experience.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be trying to nail down your work agenda, but there are too many variables at play today. Since you are normally such an efficient planner you expect everything to fall into place, yet this day continues to defy your rational analysis. It might be wiser now to leave loose ends untied and return to them in the future. Knowing when to step back from a task saves you from a lot of frustration in the long run.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your key planet Uranus is buzzing today as it forms a harmonious trine with communicator Mercury. You certainly could shine brightly at work because everyone thinks you’re so clever now. But stay cool and don’t make a big deal of anyone’s judgments or expectations. Instead, follow your instincts without revealing too much about how you make your decisions. You might be jumping to conclusions, but you’ll probably be right nonetheless.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may actually think that your strategy is invincible today until something happens that requires you to reconsider your assumptions. Instead of being overly protective of a plan that isn’t working, strengthen your position by going back to the drawing board with the new information. Fortunately, things should go much smoother after a mid-course correction.

Daily General Horoscopes for July 24

Today is fraught with the challenges of erratic energy. The socially savvy Libra Moon helps us handle an unexpected situation, but the Moon’s dissonant alignments with transformational Pluto and Uranus remind us of the larger changes that are again upon us. Thankfully, a supportive Mercury-Jupiter sextile boosts our confidence while a late-night quincunx from the Sun to illusory Neptune makes it hard to know if we’re really making progress.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You want to believe the best about others now, yet you could be led off course by your incorrect interpretation of their intentions. Unfortunately, your willingness to accept people at face value can create problems. Although everything might truly be fine, it’s still helpful to moderate your optimism. Being realistic about your relationships prevents setting yourself up for disappointment. Instead of pinning your hopes on anyone else, just express yourself clearly and move on.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might have unrealistic expectations about what you want to accomplish at work today. Although you’re wise to be cautious about the situation appearing disarmingly good, there’s no reason to be overly negative, either. As long as you remain practical now, everything should work out OK. Maintaining integrity is your ticket to success.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury harmoniously sextiles optimistic Jupiter today, enabling you to see the big picture and inspire others. This visionary outlook encourages you to solve a pressing problem, but you also might be tempted to minimize the upcoming challenges. Don’t exaggerate your ability to handle everything by yourself; be smart and ask for help when you need it.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might spend extra time reminiscing about childhood memories that are stimulated by something that happens at home today. Even if you must go to work, it’s difficult to shake off these powerful recollections, whether they are mildly irritating or sweetly nostalgic. Enjoy your fantasies, but make sure to find your way back to the present moment as soon as you can. Revisiting the past is only useful if you apply what you learn to your current circumstances.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The people in your immediate surroundings are your greatest supporters now, but you have to invite them to help or you might miss the benefits of what they could offer. Don’t pretend that you are more self-sufficient than you truly are. It is your vulnerability that sets the stage for the magic to happen.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your key planet Mercury forms a cooperative sextile with philosophical Jupiter today, increasing the potential to inspire others with your words. Your insights offer workable solutions to problems that have reached an impasse. Trusting your instincts should guide you toward an acceptable resolution for all involved.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your sweet charm is your best tool today as you make the best of a tough situation. The reflective Moon in your sign arouses your emotions and you’re able to use this to your advantage. Covering up your feelings isn’t a sensible strategy; express them naturally and let the events of the day flow wherever they take you. Thankfully, you can effectively say what’s on your mind while still being kindhearted in your interactions with others.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s not a big surprise; others know that you are hiding some of your emotions. And it’s quite likely that you could be holding a wild card up your sleeve. Your intuition tells you to enjoy everything while you can, but an irrepressible smile on your face will likely give your secret away. Nevertheless, wait until you’re ready before you share your news.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be inclined to concentrate on the social aspects of your job now, rather than paying attention to a specific task in front of you. Fortunately, you’re less constrained by your previous commitments so you can enjoy your time with others, even in a professional situation. Just remember that this doesn’t mean you should let your obligations slip. Finding the proper balance between work and play is your best bet.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might finally receive peer recognition for your hard work or maybe even get a long-awaited raise. Your regular caution is dissipating now. In fact, you could turn today’s event into something more than it really is. Bask in the light of recognition while it shines on you, but remember that things can quickly return to normal. Nevertheless, the positive feelings are yours to hold on to forever.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It seems as if there are fewer restraints on your life today, yet you ultimately still have to answer to the same authorities as before. It’s just that you can see more options now and are eager to start exploring them. Be careful that you don’t overextend yourself. Consider where you want to go before you agree to a plan that ends up taking you somewhere completely different.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You want to be fair, but you may have already made up your mind based on what someone else said. Unfortunately, your inflexibility could close the door on a conversation that’s waiting to happen. Thankfully, the Moon’s presence in your 8th House of Intimacy increases your desire to delve beneath the surface issues. Get the ball rolling; intense discussions can lead to creating common ground, especially if you are open to changing your mind.

Your Daily Horoscopes for July 23

Little things that typically pass unnoticed may now stand out with great emphasis. Today begins with the Moon in analytical Virgo, focusing our attention on the finer points of life. However, she shifts into agreeable Libra at 6:38 pm EDT, encouraging us to take everything a bit less seriously. Meanwhile, the cosmic lovers, Venus and Mars, form an otherworldly septile that can touch us with a simple twist of fate and turn a romance inside out.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s challenging to know how much to reveal when talking about a current problem. You might believe that you have a concrete plan that will work, but you are likely to misjudge the size of the task. Unfortunately, you don’t have sufficient time to go back to the drawing board. You must simply engage the issue in real time without certainty and do the best you can. The more you take care of today, the easier it will be tomorrow.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might have thought that minimal effort would be enough to accomplish your goals today, but it’s beginning to dawn on you that it’s going to take a lot more work. Fortunately, you’re not easily discouraged and anyway, being hard on yourself is counterproductive. If unexpected difficulties slow you down now, keep applying steady pressure for the best possible results.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It doesn’t matter how hard you’re pushing yourself now or how fast you are already going, since you’re dependent on circumstances outside of your control. The smartest strategy is to consciously slow down before someone else does it for you. It may be frustrating trying to overcome the current resistances head on. Instead, relax and let the events dictate the speed at which you move. Take it easy and enjoy the journey rather than focusing on your destination.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

A complete shift of plans might be somewhat upsetting, even if it’s necessary. Remember that your ideas may be totally valid; you just need to take something into account that wasn’t apparent when you first made your plans. Don’t look at the difficulties you face as a failure. This is merely a test to see if you are listening to the feedback the universe is giving you.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your determination continues to create progress in your life, but it’s useful to stop long enough to take stock in what you have already accomplished. Make time to analyze what you truly want and then revise your plans so they reflect your desires. Don’t worry if satisfaction seems just out of reach now. Do what you must while believing that the good times will return.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are becoming increasingly focused on your goals, but the Moon in your sign stirs dissatisfaction with your current situation. Before initiating any major changes in your life, make a list of what you have already done and what is left to do. Finish up as much as you can, even if your work isn’t quite up to your exacting standards. You’ll feel much better about what’s going on now as you look forward to something special in your future.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your desire to keep everyone happy may be challenged today, especially if you believe that you can change someone else’s feelings. Ironically, the more you push for peace, the more you contribute to the tension. An awkward interaction has all the makings of a losing battle. Nevertheless, exercising patience and letting go of control can allow for an equitable solution.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may feel uneasy about a topic you don’t really want to discuss now, even though your inner voice encourages you to speak up. Nevertheless, you might still try to avoid a subject that could complicate a close relationship. Fortunately, you should be able to push past your resistance because you know that temporarily making a situation worse can actually transform it to ultimately bring you happiness. A calculated risk could clear the air of tension that’s been lingering around for too long.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although your life appears to be running smoothly, you could find yourself working through an unexpected crisis with a close friend or co-worker today. Someone with good intentions might not realize that you’re upset and the more others say or do now, the worse you feel. But there’s no need to stop anyone from talking because that will only raise the frustration level even higher. It’s best to take a break and wait it out; everything will settle down faster than you think.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are a natural when it comes to sensible planning. You’re able to work long and hard to reach your goals. Usually, you reserve some energy for when you need it, but something is pushing you from within now and tempting you to burn all your fuel at once. Nevertheless, it’s really not a good idea. You won’t get what you want any faster, so retain some resources for next month when you will surely need them to sustain your momentum.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may attempt to slog your way through an obstacle course that continues to hold you back, but you’ll face the consequences of your foolishness unless you get it right. This isn’t the best time to try an unproven shortcut or any clever maneuvers. Simply apply yourself in a steady manner, even if you don’t seem to be making a lot of progress. There’s no need for panic; you are accomplishing more than you realize and others will soon notice your work.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

There’s no quick escape route for you now, so don’t even bother wasting your time and energy trying to avoid your work. However, backing off just a little is a good idea; it allows someone else to take the reins for a while. Sharing the burden of leadership lightens your sense of responsibility and can bring you a bit of much-needed freedom. The changes may not be huge, but even a small shift has a positive effect on your attitude.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of July 23

Making peace with people at the beginning of the week increases your chances for enjoying good times this weekend. Lunar transits through the partnership sign of Libra and the passionate sign of Scorpio set ground rules and establish priorities from Monday morning through Friday night. The Moon kicks into high-spirited Sagittarius on Saturday morning, encouraging a straightforward approach to relationships and an adventurous outlook on life. Expand your social horizons with exciting people and new experiences.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Getting a handle on relationships comes more easily this week now that your passionate ruling planet Mars has made it past disruptive Uranus and Pluto. The Moon’s entry into fellow Fire sign Sagittarius in the wee hours of Saturday morning puts you in an optimistic and outgoing mood, attracting the company of enthusiastic people. It’s more fun to go too far with a playful partner now than to tiptoe around the feelings of an overly sensitive individual. Try outrageous forms of creative self-expression without worrying about the results.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your personal life gets steamy late on Wednesday when the Moon moves into passionate Scorpio and your 7th House of Partners. Jealousy and control issues can arise, but it’s better to struggle with complex emotions than to disconnect from your feelings. Facing the truth inside yourself opens doors to greater trust and even intimacy, once the Moon shifts into courageous Sagittarius and your 8th House of Deep Sharing on Saturday morning. Take a leap of faith and follow your heart.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Flirting early in the week is a great way to catch someone’s eye with the lovely Libra Moon dancing in your 5th House of Romance. Going to the next level is appropriate over the weekend with the risk-taking Sagittarius Moon moving into your 7th House of Partners on Saturday morning. You need an outgoing individual who is just as curious as you are to experience new things now. Breaking out of the usual weekend routine could be your key to happiness.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your social life starts to sizzle on Wednesday night when the Moon enters passionate Scorpio and your 5th House of Romance. Two days of sassy and sexy behavior follow as you’re able to express your desires and demonstrate your desirability in subtle but effective ways. Emotions may level off on Saturday, giving you a chance to return to solid ground and gather your thoughts. Taking care of business is a perfect way to connect with someone new or to ignite a spark in your current relationship.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Set aside serious activities this weekend because it’s time to celebrate life. Early on Saturday morning the adventurous Sagittarius Moon lights up your 5th House of Fun and Games to inspire your romantic game. This is a cosmic green light for love encouraging you to be bold and generous with your heart, which you naturally do well. Your dramatic behavior might overpower delicate or demure people, but they’re not likely to make ideal companions now when pleasure has no limits and joy has no bounds.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your key planet Mercury is stuck in reverse all week long, but there’s no need to cancel all of your plans. This retrograde period is useful for reconnecting with people from the past, but could complicate matters when you’re trying to make any new connections. Saturday’s cosmic weather is excellent for speaking from your heart as your key planet Mercury connects with the Sun in plain-talking Sagittarius. You’re ready to express an intimate truth, but it’s best to reveal your secrets in a private setting if you’re expecting an honest response in return.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your relationship antennae are up and buzzing with the Moon traveling through your socially sensitive sign from Monday evening until Wednesday night. Feelings can fluctuate wildly, so this may not be the ideal time to make an important personal decision. Mull over serious matters until Saturday when the Moon soars into sunny Sagittarius and your chatty 3rd house. Your outlook is more optimistic and your words pack more punch; go ahead and ask for what you want, but remain open to the element of surprise.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Emotions heat up with the Moon in your sign from Wednesday night through Friday. You may be tempted to blurt out your feelings, which could be a relief to you but might easily be misunderstood by others. Any requests or complaints you have should be expressed as delicately and respectfully as possible. Don’t hide the truth, but share your feelings with equal consideration for the other person so you can enrich your relationship. Trust your instincts and keep your heart open to love.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

If relationships aren’t very lively for most of this week, take advantage of the quiet and get some work done while you can. The evocative Moon blasts into your enthusiastic sign in the wee hours of Saturday morning to spur passion and add excitement to your social life. Attracting attention comes easily when you’re so irresistibly fun to be around. But saying too much or going too far is possible with a lunar opposition to your boundless ruling planet Jupiter on Saturday afternoon. Stretch your wings and fly, but don’t lose sight of the ground.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Working out issues with friends and colleagues requires so much energy on Thursday and Friday that you might feel like taking the rest of the weekend off. The independent Sagittarius Moon in your ultra-private 12th house on Saturday and Sunday is better for being alone or hanging out with one easygoing person than for finding yourself lost in a crowd. Getting away from it all allows you to rest, relax, and recharge before making your next big move.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Dealing with jealous or controlling people in the middle of the week challenges you to re-examine your expectations of relationships. It’s healthier to face uncomfortable feelings than to push them away. If you are kind in your approach, being completely honest frees you from past doubts so you can face the future with greater hope. Supportive friends and community organizations provide a positive focus for you this weekend, inspiring you with a sense of purpose that restores your faith in humanity.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The intense Scorpio Moon’s presence in your visionary 9th House on Thursday and Friday intensifies your desire for an adventurous life. However, you may need to eliminate a person or an outmoded set of rules to make room for this magic to happen. Foreign cultures and people from distant lands excite you with their mysterious ways. Finding the courage to enter new territory lifts your spirits and emboldens you to take the initiative with others. Take a chance and embrace the unknown.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, July 21

Our inner world shifts as the drive to share our feelings dissipates today. We need to express our emotions while the Moon is in extroverted Leo, but her entry into practical Virgo at 1:24 pm EDT reminds us to analyze all the possible outcomes before saying anything. The Moon’s opposition to imaginative Neptune amplifies our fantasies. Fortunately, anything is possible because beneficial Jupiter forms a supportive sextile to ingenious Uranus.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You expend a lot of mental energy these days thinking about relationships. Even if you realize that burying your feelings isn’t healthy, it’s still tempting to slip into denial. Stop worrying about what might happen if you lose control; using logic to distance yourself from your emotions doesn’t help now. There’s nothing to be gained by attaching rational thoughts to irrational desires. Don’t complicate matters with unnecessary expectations.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Thankfully whatever resistance you have recently experienced settles into the background now, allowing you to be more comfortable in your own skin. Use your time to tackle a creative project today, even if it doesn’t have any specific purpose. The process of doing something strictly for your own enjoyment may unlock other more practical possibilities to pursue. Follow your bliss and enjoy the journey along the way.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re searching for clarity about how to reach your long-term goals. Your emotions may seem erratic at times, yet standing on the edge of the future is the most exciting thing imaginable now. You’re considering what’s most important and seeking ways to integrate your personal needs into the larger circumstances of your life. However, you have thought about everything long enough. Go for it; taking a risk isn’t as risky as you think.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although everything may appear very still today, you know that a storm is building on the horizon. You can feel it in every cell of your body. Something big is brewing now and you’re not fooled by the apparent calm. Be cool and collected as you approach pockets of emotional turbulence. Thankfully, once your needs and fears are addressed, your uneasy anticipation will be alleviated. Having a heart-to-heart talk with one of your close friends can supply you with all the support you need.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might think that this is a now-or-never day as you sort through your choices. It feels like you have to do something quickly or the window of opportunity will begin to close. To a certain extent, this is true; opportunities will be fewer and farther apart during the next few weeks, so make your move as soon as possible. However, there’s no need to panic; let your confidence lead the way.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may have chores that you must finish up during the first half of the day. If you are attentive to your commitments, you will be ready to react to a new set of needs and desires as they become more pressing later in the afternoon. Find clarity within your own mind before trying to impose your position on the rest of the world. Take the time you need to sort out what matters most to your heart.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You better get to work if you have a deadline looming, whether it’s imposed by outside circumstances or by your own desire for completion. Either way, it’s crucial to stay on track today. These past weeks have been rather hectic, but now it’s time to focus your intentions and apply your talents to what’s right in front of you. Don’t worry about next year; concentrate on the present moment and do your best.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your visions become more grounded now that the Moon shifts into Virgo, a practical Earth sign. Instinctively you know how your dreams co-create your future. This is very serious work and you’re surely not going to waste it on unrealistic illusions that are so idealistic they have no possibility of fulfillment. Even if you know your limits, don’t let them hold you back from doing something extraordinary.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Circumstances pull your thoughts and feelings back to earth today. You are needed by others at work and at home, so your own personal agenda may have to be placed on the back burner for a while. Nevertheless, you still harbor deep feelings that drive you to make your life more meaningful. There’s no reason to be satisfied with the status quo. Dream big and reach for the stars.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Although you may have trouble focusing your attention for the first part of the day, you’re ready to get to work by the time the Moon enters industrious Virgo. But your good intentions aren’t enough because your brain is buzzing with exciting ideas. Instead of trying to limit your expression by settling into comfortable old routines, try a radical new approach. Even if it takes longer to finish a task, it’s more interesting to take the scenic route and explore alternative options along the way.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may prefer to do a project on your own today, but someone plays an important role in your day anyhow. Needless to say, this could be frustrating since you will need to make compromises in order to earn the support of others. Even if you resist engaging in social games to get assistance, you can turn things around by changing your attitude. Everything will fall into place if you express your gratitude instead of displaying your irritation. Approaching the situation with an open mind makes all the difference.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might feel as if you’re falling short today, especially if others are overly critical of what you’re doing. Thankfully, someone’s harsh judgment may say more about his or her insecurity than about your behavior. Don’t take it personally; instead of being defensive, listen to what’s being said and use it as a catalyst for improving your work. The best way to prove yourself is to take your game to a higher level.

Rock Scrying

Rock Scrying

Examining natural rock formations, of any size, often shows us portraits carved in stone, left to individual or group interpretation.

If you find a rock in a place you feels is special or sacred, drawn to the color, texture, carved grooves, or perhaps what looks like an inscription, examine it for possible meaning for you at that moment. You can close your eyes and get messages, or just read what you see. I found a most interesting rock while in a crop circle. It actually told me that the formation was man made! It’s all subjective, but brings a message we need to hear.

Sometimes rock these formations are found in the natural designs on planet Earth, while other times that are found in space, such as the Face on Mars or the Man on the Moon, formed by craters.

Pre-Inca Civilization: Is the image of Viracocha, carved into the mountain?

Though not a natural rock formation, most interesting are the enigmatic Nazca Lines also linked to the ancient Incas and Peru.

In geology, the term rock formations refers to isolated, scenic, or spectacular surface rock outcrops. These are usually the result of weathering and erosion sculpting the existing rock. Rock formation in general refers to specific sedimentary strata or other rock unit in stratigraphic and petrologic studies.

Lampadomancy

Lampadomancy, also called Lychnomancy, it is form of divination using a single oil lamp or a torch flame. As with Lychnoscopy, the diviner reads presages from the movements of the flame.

An alternate method is also practiced, consisting of of reading the spots of carbon deposited on paper sheets held over the flame.

On yet another method, the diviner uses the lamp as a means of “attracting spirits to the flames”, in the hope of consulting them regarding future events. In this method, usually a specially designed lamp is employed, on the belief that grotesque forms will attract the spirits.

Lampadomancy was a popular method of divination in ancient Egypt, where diviners would perform it at midday in a darkened room illuminated by a single lamp filled with oasis oil.

The history of oil scrying can be traced back to ancient Babylonian times. Some of their magic books have survived down through the centuries with details of the methods they used.

From the Babylonians oil scrying found its way to the Egyptians and Hebrews. The most detailed examples of oil scrying are written in the Greek Magical Papyri written in Egypt between 200 B.C. and A.D. 500.

One of their techniques was called the “Princess of the Thumb” wherein a scryer annointed the forehead and thumbnail of a subject. The shiny nail acted as a magic mirror in which the scryer saw images, thought of as spirits on the other side linked to the person.

With the “Princess of the Hand” technique, oil was mixed with black soot to make a black paste that was then smeared upon the hand. The scryer then used the hand as a mirror in an attempt to scry future events.

A third type of oil scrying was called the “Princess of the Cup”. Sesame seed oil was used to coat the inside of a cup that was rested on its side. The cup was used as a concave ‘magic mirror’ to capture and magnify the light of a candle that was fixed on its inner rim.

Sometimes oil and water mix. In oil scrying we find:

To call upon the services of the heavenly Gods mix oil with rain water
To invoke terrestrial Gods use sea water
To invoke Osiris use river water
To call upon the souls of the dead use spring water

Cloud Scrying

Most of us watch clouds form images at one time or another. It is as if we are guided to look up and watch the patterns unfold at a given time. Fluffy cumulous clouds bring messages, which sometimes seem to tell an unfolding story. While flying on an airplane, it is fun to watch the clouds from above as if celestial art. You may receive telepathic messages while watching cloud images, coming from a spirit guide.

Throughout history symbols of political or religious importance have been seen in the clouds. In A.D. 312 when Emperor Constantine was marching against the army of Maxentius at Rome, both he and his entire army saw a shining cross of light amid the clouds. It was said the cross contained the Greek words “By This Conquer”. Later that night Christ appeared to Constantine in his dreams bearing a cross in his hand ordering Constantine to have a military standard made in the same image. Under this standard his outnumbered army was victorious. Down through history entire military battles have been witnessed in the clouds.

Egyptian Dream Scrying

Ancient Egyptians believed in the power of dreams to bring messages from their many gods. Their methods of dream scrying go back over 5000 years and were recorded in their ancient texts and on hieroglyphic writings. Some of their techniques were later used by other ancient civilizations, as in ancient Greece thousands of years ago.

Ritual Dream Scrying Techniques

On the day you scry – find a place of solitude and remain alone.

Do not consume alcohol, eat for 4 hours before your begin, or engage in sexual activities.

Take a warm relaxing bath then anoint your temples with olive oil. You will need an oil lamp as used with lamp scrying.

On a short narrow strip of white linen write the name of the Egyptian God and the purpose for the dream scrying. Twist the linen strip into a wick and insert into the oil of the lamp. Place the lamp on a table beside your bed. Using the ink draw the image of the dream God upon your left palm.

Light your lamp. Kneel before the lamp. Invocation:

Concentrating on the image on your left hand recite the following invocation : Thoth, (use name of desired god) I invoke, blessed power of dreams divine, Angel of future fates, swift wings are thine, Great source of oracles to human kind, When stealing soft, and whispering to the mind, Through sleep’s sweet silence and the gloom of night, Thy power awake the sight, To silent souls the will of heaven relates, And silently reveals their future fates.

Concentrate on your question. Around your left hand wrap a piece of black linen about four inches wide and about thirty inches long. The black cloth is called the black eye of Isis. – the Magic of Isis – or Black Isis.

Blow out the lamp’s flame. Clear your mind and go to sleep.

Have a tape recorder or pen and paper beside your bed so that when you awaken you may record your dreams while still fresh in your mind.

You will find that the dream will come to you in a voice that is clear and powerful rather than in dream images. Sometimes the messages are in symbols – cryptic forms. Take your time in deciphering the messages you have received. You may want to use a dream dictionary to interpret messages given, if possible. They are often archetypes from your subconscious mind, perhaps from an Egyptian lifetime.

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 (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 (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 (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 (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 (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 (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 (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 (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 (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 (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 (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 (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.
