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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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

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

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

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.

Your Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for July 20 – 22

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

It Takes All Kinds

July 20 – 22

Passion and playfulness take top billing this weekend, which starts with the scene-setting Moon in dramatic Leo and ends with the Sun’s entry into this expressive Fire sign on Sunday. Brave hearts and youthful spirits are the winning tickets to a good time during this buoyant period.
Friday gives us a chance to let our feelings roar with the Moon in the expressive sign of the Lion. Bragging and being pushy are less desirable ways to act, but it’s fine to be bold and come on strong when it’s done with a light touch. Brash behavior is tolerated as long as there’s no bullying involved.
A lunar shift into meticulous Virgo on Saturday afternoon tones down the theatrics and encourages practicality. Activities that mix work and play can be especially appealing in this productive sign. Yet even the most discreet individuals could be itching for excitement and willing to take chances in pursuit of new experiences. An adventurous Jupiter-Uranus sextile stimulates minds, spurring interest in unusual activities and unconventional people. Taking a relationship leap into unfamiliar territory is thrilling; adopting some healthy precautions in advance ensures a safer landing.
The Sun’s ingress into big-hearted Leo warms Sunday morning with innocence and, perhaps, a greater will to love, regardless of the risks.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, July 19

Our feelings are more powerful than usual today, yet we might withhold our emotions unless we feel safe and secure. The sensitive Cancer New Moon at 12:24 am EDT encourages us to nurture those we love while still keeping our own needs private. However, the Moon shifts into expressive Leo at 6:13 am EDT, enabling us to share the intensity of our dreams. Fortunately, taking the time to review the previous month helps us determine where to go next.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Problems may arise today from your natural tendency to initiate action too quickly. You really want to make something special happen now, but are uncertain about how to move forward with the Cancer New Moon in your 4th House of Security. If your intuition suggests that it’s not yet time to start anything, you are better off waiting. There’s no reason to overcompensate by needlessly pushing your agenda too soon.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might end up spending much of the day sticking close to familiar routines, without much of a desire to do more than is necessary. It’s a quiet day, yet you have many things you want to say now that the Cancer New Moon occurs in your 3rd House of Communication. Speaking your piece is healthy, but listening to others is important, too. Your friends and co-workers will feel better if there is an equal give and take in their interactions with you.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You could use a healthy dose of peace and quiet now. Although there are social activities on your calendar, you also are advised to create some time to be alone. However, this isn’t about being isolated or lonely. Rather, it is about listening to your own inner voice, which can all too often get crowded out by the everyday noises of your life. Meditating leaves you feeling rejuvenated and ready to mingle with others again.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

When you’re finished working today, head outside and catch some rays. Perhaps you could find time for some summer reading or listening to music. And even if you aren’t inclined to be in the Sun, at least make sure you utilize today’s New Moon in your sign to revitalize your soul. There’s no need to worry about accomplishing much now; just enjoy the experience of swimming around in the sea of your colorful inner world.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have intense desires that are building just beneath the surface. Often you Lions are quite up-front and just tell it as it is, but today a more secretive mood comes over you because of the cautious Cancer New Moon that activates your 12th House of Spiritual Mystery. You don’t have to act on every emotion, but neither do you have to push away your feelings, even if they further complicate your life. It’s better to proactively deal with a complicated issue than it is to just stay quiet.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Getting together with your friends sounds like a good idea now that the Cancer New Moon falls in your 11th House of Companions. However, something may hold you back. Maybe you’re busier than you want to be today. Since you are protective of your feelings, remember not to spread yourself too thin. If you end up partaking in some social fun, at least make it a low-key event. Save your energy for when you need it.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your ideal scenario today may consist of you crawling back into the privacy of your home and luxuriating in the idea that you don’t need to go anywhere or see anyone. But unfortunately, reality doesn’t let you off the hook so easily. You could be called upon to take responsibility for someone else and you must rise to the occasion. Nevertheless, you have invisible boundaries and still feel protected as if you are within your own shell, even if no one else notices.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your intense feelings draw you into uncharted waters today as the Cancer New Moon emphasizes your 9th House of Adventure. There is a haunting familiarity to the landscape, whether or not you are eager for the next adventure. You can’t tell if you have been here before or if it was only a place that you imagined. Pay careful attention to all the details, for signs appear everywhere to reveal your future.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may feel on-edge today with the Cancer New Moon in your 8th House of Intimacy, especially if you’re pulled into an emotional drama that is one step over the edge of your comfort zone. Short of booking a ticket on an airplane, there isn’t much that you can do to avoid the intensity. Forget about trying to escape; just sink into your feelings, armed with the knowledge that they will change soon enough. There’s no reason to be overly concerned; you will be back to your buoyant self before you know it.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You self-motivated Goats strive for stability now, even as you ambitiously climb higher on the mountain. But you don’t feel as sure-footed as you seem; nevertheless, emotional waters are swirling around your feet today. Thankfully, it’s perfectly safe to let your feet leave the ground. Swim through the mixed feelings, but don’t try to hold on to any of them along the way.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You can feel the shift as the Moon enters your 6th House of Routine, taking you away from the high-flying thoughts and drawing you into a pool of feelings about your daily life. Try as you might to separate out the strands of emotions, they are interwoven. You might feel as if this emotional fabric is so heavy that it’s a burden. However, you’re still advised to wear it as if it were your own. Paradoxically, accepting your obligations magically lightens your load.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although the Cancer New Moon in your 5th House of Romance suggests that you might need to start anew with respect to love, you don’t necessarily have to walk away from a current healthy relationship. Instead, consciously infuse your passions into a partnership, adding depth and magic to what you already have. But if you aren’t in a relationship, you may be hesitant to jump into one now. Move slowly for the best results.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, July 18

We are ready to rebel against anything that constrains us today. Or, others may act out our need for freedom now if we try to deny it. Either way, an erratic Mars-Uranus opposition creates unstable tension. Although the emotionally sensitive Cancer Moon might increase our fear of change, we’re still likely to put ourselves in risky situations that raise our adrenaline levels prior to the Cancer New Moon tomorrow morning at 12:24 am EDT.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

This is a power-packed day with red-hot Mars negotiating between your desire for independence and your need to be loved. Remember, Mars is not known as a peacemaker, so his brand of diplomacy may incite conflict today. Things might reach a tipping point when you don’t know what’s going to happen next. Nevertheless, real progress toward finding lasting solutions can be made if you build the future upon mutual respect and positive intentions.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Don’t lose sight of the value of your common sense since a total breakdown of routine at work can be circumvented if you maintain your composure. However, no one wants to face the difficult issues until all parties realize what’s at stake. Don’t be afraid to take an unpopular stand if necessary, for the current circumstances may require a disruption just to get everyone’s attention.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Usually you are the clever one who can miraculously pull a solution out of thin air, even if it is not a permanent one. But today, every tactic you try is met with surprising resistance or an unexpected response. The uncertainty is enough to make you lose confidence in your own ability to communicate. Don’t give up; your persistence could pay off once you hit on a strategy that settles down the energy.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Relying on your intuition now is a smart way to stay on your path. However, just because you know how to respond, this doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to do what you believe is right. In fact, you may feel as if your route to success is being blocked. Everything at work seems to be out of control, yet you aren’t comfortable expressing your feelings. Office politics are complicated, but restrained action and clear communication prevent things from falling apart.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Something may not go according to your plans today, even if you’re fully prepared. You carefully studied your lines and you know how to play your part, but it’s as if someone changed the plot and your lines are no longer relevant. You may even feel as if the other players have been given new scripts and no one informed you. Don’t lose control of your feelings; showing your anger will only make things worse. This is a test to see if you can let go of your personal agenda and graciously adapt to the changing scenery.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your logical analysis is usually a source of reason, but today it just makes everything unbearable. You can see what’s wrong and, fortunately, you know how to fix it. But you’re not in control. The harder you work to stabilize the situation, the crazier it becomes. Be aware that the dynamics of a relationship may have to get shaky for a while before they are able to improve.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

This might not be the kind of pleasant day that you Libras dream about. It’s challenging to figure out exactly what is happening today, but it is apparent that loose ends defy being tied. Forget about putting everything back into balance now; you’ll only grow more aggravated if you try. Instead, concentrate on cooperating with others and you’ll make it through the day with flying colors.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you might like the idea of a romantic involvement, your need for self-determination is very strong now. Ironically, you won’t let someone else steer your car, even if you asked him or her to drive it. It doesn’t matter what kind of logic you apply to your current dilemma today; you still may not be able to figure out the best course of action because you are conflicted over the situation. Go ahead and do what feels right in the moment, but don’t focus on the distant destination just yet.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The cosmic tension affects nearly everyone today, yet you Archers seem to get away with pulling a few strings of your own. You can actually help someone work through a difficult situation while others just seem to make it worse. Thankfully, your actions have a powerful impact, but you’ll be even more effective now if you refrain from pushing your needs onto anyone else. Listening with an open mind is your secret strategy.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It may not matter today how much you have prepared for a big event. You might be better off to throw your strategy to the winds and simply start all over again. Fortunately, this is not as difficult as it sounds, for the real lesson of the day is about releasing buried tensions and re-establishing any lost integrity. Toss your battle plan if you must, but don’t negotiate away your feelings of security. Your chances for success are greater when you honor your own position.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although it seems as if you can’t rely on anyone today, everything that’s happening is actually a projection of your own experiences. You might be feeling as if you’re stretched to a breaking point and the only solution is to stir things up even more by acting unpredictably. Don’t resist the current changes; be the initiator instead of the victim.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

An unexpected encounter might prompt you to question a long-standing belief that has come between you and someone else. You are tempted to just throw your hands up in despair and walk away from a conflict, but it’s healthier to confront your fears, instead. Your world is transforming and you may have to alter your basic assumptions about yourself. Be courageous; stepping outside of your comfort zone and embracing change is the most direct path to re-establishing the stability you desire.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, July 17

There is more going on than meets the eye as intense emotions rise to the surface. We may try to put a positive spin on everything now that energetic Mars harmoniously trines buoyant Jupiter. However, a controlling Mars-Pluto square indicates that a power struggle might be unavoidable. Meanwhile, the moody Cancer Moon tempts us to suppress our emotions as she makes a series of harsh alignments. Expressing hidden anger is healthier than hiding it.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Stopping long enough to let your emotions settle down is a great idea, even if it isn’t an easy path to follow. You could be moody today and fixing for a fight, especially if circumstances aren’t going your way. Unfortunately, you cannot find a sensible target for your aggression — and this is exactly why you should take a few deep breaths and chill out. Expressing your feelings is essential to your mental health.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

This is a wonderful day for a quick getaway, but you might not have the time to do anything about it. Still, go ahead and create small pockets of solitude for spiritual rejuvenation. Try going for a walk, sitting in meditation or practicing yoga. Give yourself enough space to listen to your own inner voice rather than the stressful demands of others.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s often not easy for you to relax and today you may be dealing with even more stress than usual. Fortunately, you correctly sense that things are changing, but it won’t be an overnight turnaround. You might feel as if others will be in your way for a while. In the meantime, don’t vent your frustrations on innocent bystanders or ignore the situations that trigger your resentment. Create a middle path and try to stay on it.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you may feel the upbeat energy today, annoying distractions prevent you from being as positive as you like. Perhaps someone is being more demanding than normal. You might even be drawn into an argument with others who are already fighting amongst themselves to see who is king of the hill. Ironically, you could make the best leader of all if you’re willing to stand up and fight for your beliefs.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your feelings are running through some very deep waters today and it might just make you somewhat uncomfortable if others unwittingly step into your emotional turmoil. Your confidence is shaky now, but your actions could speak a very different story as you roar your way through the day. Remember that false bravado won’t make your certainty return any sooner; it only alienates you from those who want to help. Showing your vulnerability can be a positive step toward developing greater intimacy.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Nothing will be gained by pushing the river, for the water will ultimately arrive at the sea in its own time. The same now applies to your life. Try not to push others to react faster than they can, for it won’t help your cause as you move into your next phase. Instead, be as open and flexible as possible. When others feel supported, they will be more willing to cooperate with you.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

This can be a day for intense emotional interactions as you confront the gulf between your thoughts and feelings. These conversations could even be expressed as a dialogue between two inner voices. Take a chance in a relationship and open up to another person, but avoid being too dependent on logic alone. Remember, you need both the objective and subjective sides of reality today to round out your experience.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Social interactions might bring up your insecurities, adding more drama to an already intense day. You may feel as if you are engaged in a battle that you must win, but the truth is that your fears are making the situation more problematic today. Instead of overreacting with unrestrained passion, seek ways to salve the open wounds and slow down your own emotional rollercoaster.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You feel a boost of enthusiasm from your key planet Jupiter today, but the buzz isn’t long-lasting. There are bigger issues developing and even if you believe that you have passed through the eye of the storm, there is still more turmoil to come. You could inadvertently make a situation worse by attempting to bring an unresolved matter to a premature conclusion. It’s better to just let the energy take its own course without trying to control the outcome.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your feelings are much clearer now as you get a fresh perspective on the events of the past few days. But your current view of reality may be influenced by your unexpressed emotions as you struggle between the thoughts in your head and the desires of your heart. Lean on your friends for support instead of pushing them away. Trusting someone else enables you to trust yourself.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Fire up your intellect for a little bit of fun and break out of old routines wherever you go. Enjoy the show as you actively engage everyone in intense conversations to gain perspective on your own feelings. However, avoid negotiations that require detached analysis today, as it will be difficult to separate your logical thoughts from your irrational needs now.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are highly enthused and could even be passionate enough today to take a risk in a conversation or email exchange with someone you want to know better. Listen to your heart, even if you hear your fears trying to talk you out of expressing your desires. Just remember to give others enough latitude so they can be comfortable to share whatever they feel, too.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, July 16

We’re able to see a situation from two different perspectives today as the dualistic Gemini Moon mixes optimism with pessimism. The pressure for change continues to build and it appears as if things cannot go on in the same old way. Excitement mounts along with fear of the unknown. Even the Moon’s shift into cautious Cancer at 8:31 pm EDT won’t prevent us from feeling the energetic rush from tomorrow morning’s exuberant Mars-Jupiter trine.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are marching to the beat of your own drum and the rhythm is so strong today that you cannot resist following it. Exhibiting a bit of self-restraint is usually a good idea, but there’s no holding you back now. Although you want to be practical, you still could overextend your energy as your key planet Mars is magnified by expansive Jupiter. Nevertheless, you can improve your chances for success by concentrating on your goals. Eliminating unnecessary activities flips the odds in your favor.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You feel uneasy as everything starts to move faster today. It’s apparent how your actions set the stage for what will happen, but there is so much heading your way now that it’s challenging to settle down and make progress. Your prospects may be improving, but this is no time to abandon your responsibilities. The rewards that are waiting around the corner will likely vanish before you reach them if you fall short of what’s expected of you.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your positive attitude attracts opportunities, but you must be careful to balance your optimism with more practical considerations. Although you can tell that there is great potential for enjoyment now, this isn’t all about fun and games. Ultimately, it’s up to you to share yourself with those who are closest to you. You have a chance to do something meaningful that enriches your spirit today; including your friends makes it more special.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might become so enthusiastic today that you break through your inhibitions and explode onto the scene with a few exciting ideas of your own. This is not your typical approach, so your spontaneous behavior could catch others off guard. If you feel compelled to risk exposure and take a chance, go for it. You can always clam up again later if you overextended your reach.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

When the going gets tough you Lions bounce back, and today the planets are on your side, giving you an extra jolt of energy. It’s wonderful to have enough zest to get up and go, but it’s not wise to swing into action now just to avoid a difficult situation. Nevertheless, you still might feel heroic from all the potential around you, but if you inflate things too much, reality will likely disappoint you.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are feeling hopeful today, yet something seems to be on your mind, preventing you from riding your own waves of enthusiasm. Your conservative tendencies are holding you back, yet you still think that you can accomplish something special now if you just go out and give it your very best. Thankfully, you have an excellent grasp of the situation and your chances for success are really very good.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You tend to be a people person since you flourish from your interactions with others. Your discussions with someone else help you see yourself more clearly. The feedback you receive now deepens your perspective if you can be receptive to hearing it. Another point of view increases your current choices, so take time to integrate what you learn before making an important decision.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are so realistic you probably realize that your current enthusiasm won’t last. But you’re also clever enough to make the most of it while you can. There is recognition coming your way for a job well done. Although a bit of positive reinforcement won’t likely change the overall direction of your life, you can still have something to feel good about along the way.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re the central character in your very own mythical story. You have morphed into a superhero with larger-than-life intentions because your key planet Jupiter is receiving an adrenaline rush from red-hot Mars. Utilize this cosmic boost by throwing a great party or rushing in to save the day for a friend. The choice is entirely yours.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your sensible self-restraint is sufficient to get you through periods of weakness, but now you might not have enough resistance to keep everything to yourself. You’re overcome by an impulse to share your private feelings today. If you have been suppressing anger or resenting someone close to you, get it out in the open while you can. Potential difficulties will not last long once they are discussed; it’s keeping them secret that creates the most trouble.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

If you are keeping more to yourself than usual, reality may kick up a storm today. Your good intentions will come around quickly if you initiate meaningful communication instead of wasting time talking about trivialities. You might not even realize how influential your own values are or what you bring to a situation, but others appreciate your openness. Let your friends see your vulnerability; they can help you in ways you cannot yet realize.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You have a growing sense of confidence that motivates you into high gear today, but you’re probably more grounded now than you seem. You have been thinking about your next move for a while, but your excitement overshadows any previous planning. Others may think you are out of control now, but don’t worry about surprising anyone else. Just do what makes the most sense to you in the present moment.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of July 16

Relationships could be all over the place this week as warrior Mars in diplomatic Libra is rocked with enthusiasm on Monday and Tuesday, before mistrust and suspicion sneak in to steal the show. A desire to flee difficult challenges or embrace new experiences is likely as shocking Uranus and provocative Pluto crank up the energy prior to the late night hypersensitive Cancer New Moon. Thankfully, sobering planetary influences start to cool off the emotional drama by Saturday morning as we seek calmer companionship and quieter times under a thoughtful Virgo Moon.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your emotions could run to extremes this week with your passionate planet Mars triggering rapid changes of mood. But if you can ride out the storm, you might land in a happier place that surprises you with a newfound sense of freedom and excitement. Just note that sticking to your commitments is likely to be the key to harmony this weekend when little acts of consideration earn you trust and affection.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

There’s some magic waiting to happen this weekend with the earthy Virgo Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Romance on Saturday and Sunday. The key to finding romance is to stretch your usual social boundaries, express yourself more openly and explore how to play the game of love in different ways. Maintaining your sense of humor makes it possible for you to try new things without the fear of looking foolish.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Healthy relationships rely on open communication, but it’s especially important to be thoughtful about what you say this week. A desire to express yourself more honestly is fine if you are sensitive as to how your message will be received. It’s wiser to avoid delicate subjects now unless you’re sure that the situation truly calls for it. Keeping your thoughts to yourself or engaging in light chatter is preferable to revealing too much and inadvertently hurting someone’s feelings in the process.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

A New Moon in your nurturing sign on Wednesday night intensifies your feelings and increases your commitment to take charge of your personal life. Negotiations are necessary and patience is required to iron out the important details essential for making a partnership work. The weekend is excellent for doing some rational thinking that helps you discuss emotional issues in a clear-headed manner.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Memories of love gained and lost may well up from the past with the sentimental Cancer New Moon falling in your reflective 12th house in the middle of the week. It’s appropriate to review previous relationship experiences before you get a fresh wave of energy when the Sun enters your colorful sign on Sunday. Finishing off old business clears the decks, making it possible to move your life in a more fulfilling direction.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s presence in your sign this weekend encourages you to wear your heart on your sleeve and others can’t help but notice. Yet you may be overly sensitive on Saturday afternoon when dreamy Neptune washes away logic with an overdose of emotion or a taste for fantasy. This won’t be a problem if you’re enjoying the company of a tender person or engaging in an inspiring activity. Just don’t leave common sense behind in your hunger for intimacy.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Passionate Mars in your sign gives you more drive and the ability to take the lead in relationships. A push from optimistic Jupiter starts Tuesday with enthusiasm, but Mars’ tough aspects to disruptive Uranus later that day and to provocative Pluto on Wednesday can spur surprises and trigger conflict. Don’t let a crisis of the moment turn into a major war unless you’re ready to tear your relationship life apart so you can build a new one.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your feisty ruling planet Mars is kicking up a storm this week, provoking sudden bursts of energy and unexpected behavior. Your reactions could be out of proportion to the events that trigger them, so keep a check on feelings and avoid impulsive actions. On the plus side, you might be motivated to change your attitude about love and adjust your expectations about relationships. Take notes, learn, and ponder before making a major move.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Sensitivity in your relationships becomes a major issue with the tender Cancer New Moon falling in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. This is a gentle cosmic reminder that intimacy blossoms when you feel safe and secure. Showing that you care and expecting the same of others comes from growing more at ease in vulnerable situations. It’s possible to express your needs without appearing needy, making you even more endearing to others.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Relationships take an emotional turn now with a mid-week Cancer New Moon landing in your 7th House of Partners. Feelings are more important than logic in this delicate environment, so don’t let your head get in the way of your heart. There’s a place for reason, but not when it comes before responding to the needs of the one you love. By the same token, you also can benefit from some emotional support and a little tender, loving care.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your urge for independence could explode with impulsive behavior on Wednesday. Irrepressible Mars opposes your spontaneous ruling planet Uranus to shake up and wake up your personal life. You should be ready to break your patterns and move in a new direction so that you can start exploring fresh forms of fun. It’s helpful, though, to give yourself a chance to experiment for a while instead of making any major decisions too soon.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The caring Cancer New Moon on Wednesday night sets your heart sailing on hopeful waters. Saturday could turn out to be magical with an afternoon opposition of the Moon to your inspiring planet Neptune, dissolving barriers with others. While a profound, maybe even spiritual, connection is a potential reward, there’s also a risk of projecting your fantasies on the wrong person. What you see and feel may not be what you get unless you add a small dose of logic to the mix.

Daily Horoscopes for July 15

Complexity and subtlety are blended into a conundrum today. The whimsical Gemini Moon reflects our need to keep everything light and easy. However, an early morning Sun-Saturn square heightens resistance, asking us to slow down or even stop making any more progress. Obstacles appear in front of us, although we may put them there ourselves. It’s difficult to strike a perfect balance between our serious feelings and more lighthearted ones.

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You always have choices as you approach an unexpected roadblock in your path. You can run directly into the trouble and try to power your way through it. When this headstrong tactic works, you are a sight to behold! But today an impulsive attack could be foolhardy and frustrating. Stop and try to understand what you can learn from the situation. When you recognize the deeper lesson, everything will quickly fall into place.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Whatever feelings rise to the surface now are doing so for a good reason; however, the logic may not be immediately apparent to you. Remain open to changes even if you feel like you’re not getting what you want. The situation might still be unstable and you’re wise to wait before making any significant decisions. Instead of focusing on a temporary setback today, remember that what you say has the magical power to transform everything in the blink of an eye.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury is retrograde now, turning your thoughts inward. Although responsibilities may seem somewhat oppressive, almost anything is possible if you put your mind to it. The feelings that are holding you back also contain the seeds for your forward movement. It’s not time to accept defeat, even if you’re feeling less than confident. Today’s discussions can set the stage for tomorrow’s transformations.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may think that someone is being overly judgmental of your activities as critical Saturn rains on your parade. However, today’s Sun-Saturn square gives you an opportunity to gain clarity about an important life lesson. Try to remain optimistic about your options because a challenge or a delay doesn’t mean you should give up. Instead, strengthen your position by reviewing your plans and making necessary adjustments.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are being tested today, and how you respond will have important consequences in the days ahead. Imagine that the complex situations that you encounter are speed bumps on the road of life. If you are moving ahead too fast, they might cause serious damage. But trouble can be averted if you see the obstacles far enough in advance. Take your cues from the feedback that reality is offering you and plan your course accordingly.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you feel like throwing caution to the wind today, a friend will have enough sense to remind you about your priorities. Even if some things are not going exactly the way you want, you can make choices that will keep you on your chosen path. Flexibility is more important now than sustainability. If you conjure up the image in your mind, then it has the chance to become real. Believing is the first step to seeing.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Nearly everything in your life seems to be moving along quite well. Nevertheless, you are still facing conflict about what you want to do versus what others want you to do. Or, perhaps, someone close to you is causing you stress because they are acting recklessly instead of fulfilling their responsibilities. Whatever problems you are facing now, remember that your ability to roll with the situation will help see you through it.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your mind continues to be very probing and, fortunately, your thinking process is grounded. However, your basic material needs and sensual desires may be the source of a dilemma. Your gut instinct encourages you to develop your vision of an ideal future. First, you must make some adjustments as your values transform along with the current circumstances. But it’s not the right time to change everything all at once. Fine-tuning your daily routine, though, is certainly in order.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Love is in the air today but it doesn’t come without complications. Although you may not be able to avoid serious matters in a relationship, you’re tempted to step around a potential problem to get to the good stuff. Unfortunately, taking a shortcut now won’t save any time and could also destabilize a romance. Instead of pushing your luck, adopting a slower approach increases your chances to find mutual satisfaction.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You would be wise to examine your weaknesses as the willful Sun squares your key planet Saturn today. However, judging yourself too harshly could do more harm than good, especially if others are criticizing your efforts, too. Nevertheless, dwelling on your shortcomings is a waste of time. Think of yourself as a work in progress and get busy.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Ironically, the sooner you accept the current limitations, the easier it will be to break free from the restraints. The lesson now is to work within your boundaries, rather than trying to work around them. There are times to push the edges of the envelope, and there are times to exercise self-control to keep things as they are. Thankfully, the problems you face today will seem less complicated tomorrow.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You Fish like to swim in the open waters where there are no boundaries. But now you are being presented with a restrictive situation that prevents you from reaching your destination. Instead of worrying too much about getting lost along the way, consider your current responsibilities. Once you have your priorities in order it will be easier to work within the defined limits of the game.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, July 14

Although everything might seem in order, we need to pay close attention to details today as mischievous Mercury begins its 3-week retrograde phase. Fortunately, Mercury’s supportive sextile to sweet Venus helps to gloss over the rough spots. The Moon’s shift into interactive Gemini at 8:26 am EDT adds more noise to the day. Meanwhile, a late night Sun-Saturn square reminds us that instant karma will get us if we wander too far off course.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are often on to the next activity before you are even finished with the current one. However, you understand the advantage of slowing down today and you’re willing to see a job through to the end. Nevertheless, growing bored can still be a problem now if things aren’t moving along quickly enough for you. Accept delays as part of the process and stick with the task at hand, even if you would prefer to be doing something new.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are in touch with your own strength of purpose today and are certain you can overcome any setbacks that arise. However, feeling confident isn’t enough; you must reconsider your basic assumptions even if it means going back to the beginning. Starting a project over allows you to build a more solid foundation that can support whatever comes next. Do it now while you have time; if you let this opportunity pass, you may regret it later on.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s difficult to hide your feelings now that the Moon is back in your sign. You might believe that it’s more efficient to keep interpersonal communication within the safe realms of rational thinking while steering clear of illogical emotions. But taking an objective approach won’t enable you to talk your way around the obstacles in your path. Slow down and review a full range of alternative strategies before choosing a course of action.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are lighthearted one moment and serious the next as you remember some of the profound emotional transitions that you have experienced over the last few years. You’re ready to move on, but you still may be overly sensitive to your recent past with unresolved feelings weighing heavily on your mind. Revisiting childhood memories helps you to reframe your own history so you can do something brilliant in the current moment.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could run into a few snags today. A recent disappointment might seem like it’s a big deal, but Mercury retrograde in your sign tells a slightly different story. You are being given time to review the details of what led you to the present moment. This isn’t time for rest, so examine how the current blockages are symbolic of your own feelings. Awareness is the key; once you understand your role in creating the present situation, then you can steadily push on through to the other side.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It may seem as if the public spotlight has found you now, but you might prefer to hide from view. You are more likely just to accept the responsibilities that are heaped upon you and withdraw from others while you do your work. But if you have control issues and continue to do everything on your own, your ambitious strategy could backfire. Acknowledge that you need to be a part of a larger group, tribe or family. It really does take a village.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are experiencing an unusual mixture of Saturn’s hard, cold reality and the whimsical fantasies of today’s breezy Gemini Moon. You’re very serious about your philosophy on life and might have to make choices now that put you in an emotionally vulnerable position. There’s nothing wrong with having lots of acquaintances in your life. Just don’t let your limited thinking get in the way of transforming a casual friendship into something more meaningful.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You can feel the weight of responsibility on your shoulders now as you take on more than is required. It helps to examine what your past has to do with your current eagerness to help others, even if they haven’t asked for it. Compassion is surely a gift, but codependence is not a viable path to happiness. Heal others by first forgiving and healing yourself.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Stand up and stretch your wings; it’s time to claim your power. However, if you find yourself involved in a simple struggle for control, step back and take responsibility only for what is yours. You really don’t have to win an argument, since the price can be too great. Turn the challenge into an opportunity to learn something about yourself as you handle the resistance with courage and grace.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The weekend brings relaxation for some people, but not so much for you. You are a worker bee today and there are just too many things to do around your hive. It may even feel like a day of judgment and, naturally, you want it to be called in your favor. Apply yourself diligently, but avoid any self-criticism. Continue to work as hard as you can while remembering that you’re in it for the long haul. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might believe that your relationship life is improving, but you’re still afraid of crashing into a wall. Try not to get too discouraged if you have to deal with a miscommunication. A misunderstanding with a loved one can gobble up valuable time if you take it as a sign of defeat. But you should be able to accomplish what’s necessary once you realize that the current events are clues about the work you have yet to do.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s time to cool off this weekend and re-evaluate what you want from your closest relationships. You may be more analytical than usual and less emotionally attached to the outcome. It’s not that you are ready to give up; it’s just that you can see the futility of trying to control someone else’s feelings. Set priorities and give yourself extra time to accomplish your current goals.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 13th

It feels as if the weekend has arrived early because we may not be very productive today with the Moon in bucolic Taurus. However, we will be happier if we finish what we’ve already started, freeing us up to enjoy ourselves tomorrow. The Moon’s cooperative sextile to the Sun motivates us to create an agenda and stick to it. Nevertheless, an expansive Sun-Jupiter alignment widens our horizons and tempts us with plenty of possibilities.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are eager to get to work today; you know what must be done and you are ready to do it. You have a growing sense of what’s important — beyond your simple list of chores. But you start to think about all the alternatives and what you could be doing if you were truly free. Talking about what your heart wants could be therapeutic now as long as you can skip over what your head thinks. Just finish your work before your run off in other directions.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You remember what it’s like to feel completely at home with who you are now that the mood-setting Moon is back in your sign. Although there may be big changes you would like to make in your life, a smarter strategy is to be content just being yourself. Concentrate on your job today, but also take the time to do something to make your home look nicer like buying yourself some flowers. Adding a little color to your life is an easy way to be kind to yourself.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Secrets have a sneaky way of seeping into separate parts of our lives where they can cause mischief. But rather than needing to talk about your sensitive topics, it’s the other people in your world that seem to be holding their cards very close. Someone may not be telling you everything he or she knows, and this might cause a rift between you. If you think that you’re missing a piece of information, ask questions first before assuming the worst.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might get away with resting on your laurels or, perhaps, you’re able to finish your work now with less effort than normal. However, be aware that what you are doing on the outside is not where the real action is. Instead, create magic within your imagination that you can later manifest as reality. Make a wish without worrying about the details and destiny take its course.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You seem to be stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place today. You may even attempt to dig in your heels and make a strong stand for something that you believe in. Unfortunately, your extreme stubbornness won’t necessarily help you make your point. Don’t compromise your beliefs, but be prepared to negotiate about your actions.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have an opportunity to do some deep psychological work that alters your attitude in a profound way. Ironically, delving into parts of your psyche can suddenly shift the way you think. It may be difficult to start this emotional process, but rewards are likely if you take the necessary steps toward self-discovery.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It may feel as if your values are floating in space right now. This doesn’t mean that you are confused about your personal beliefs. Instead, it’s as if you cannot easily integrate your likes and dislikes into your current set of circumstances. The good news is that you are doing some deep thinking about what you want, which ultimately can lead to greater fulfillment.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Sometimes you wish you didn’t know so much and feel so much. Nevertheless, you do; having a deeper awareness of things that other people miss is one of your gifts. Unfortunately, it’s not easy to shut off your senses and close down your brain when your emotions become overwhelming. It’s better to be fully conscious of your inner process than to be in denial. Ultimately, you have more choices available when you are in touch with an expanded view of reality.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although your week finishes up slowly, the weekend ahead should prove to be quite exciting. You’re on the edge of a major intellectual adventure and you would be wise to prepare for it now. Your thoughts are expanding as you discover new ways to look at your life. Travel is indicated, but remember that you can also go on a mental journey within the realms of your imagination.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are rediscovering the ground beneath your feet today. You might have pulled away from your own center recently and the continuous distractions have caused you stress. However, now you find comfort in feeling the earth again. Your solid pragmatism works in your favor as long as you to maintain integrity by following through on your good intentions.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might be experiencing emotional extremes today; your nerves are rattled by circumstances in your life that you cannot control. You are currently engaged in a life lesson about acceptance, not that long-term change is impossible. It’s just that you must step beyond your feelings of personal discontent in order to touch a much deeper meaning of what’s going on. Once you’re aware of the bigger picture, the details will be easier to manage.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Whatever complications have been plaguing you, they finally seem to be more manageable today. It’s not that the complexity has gone away; it’s just that you feel better equipped to handle whatever happens now. Although your feelings are quieter, they are still running deeply. Allow yourself to feel good about the options in front of you without the pressure of having to make big decisions right away.

Your Lunar Love Horoscopes for the Weekend of July 13 – 15

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

 by Jeff Jawer

Pursuing Pleasure

July 13 – 15

 

Expect surprises this weekend with shocking Uranus turning retrograde on Friday and verbal Mercury making a similar reversal on Saturday. But life might feel relatively calm at first with the Moon’s presence in stabilizing Taurus until Saturday morning. The zodiac’s Bull is like Ferdinand: a sweet, gentle sensualist who stops to smell the flowers. Taking time to sample life’s simple pleasures is a wonderful gift of the Taurus Moon. Familiar comforts are extra tasty in this habit-bound sign.
Saturday’s cosmic energy is much sassier, starting with a lunar leap into bouncy Gemini in the morning. The chatty Twins make it easy to talk to anyone about anything. Words of love and affection flow like poetry thanks to a flirtatious Mercury-Venus connection. Yet the retrograde turn of Messenger Mercury and a stern Sun-Saturn square provoke careless speech that can put a chill on relationships. Tempering high hopes and avoiding grandiose promises are ways to escape a sudden cooling trend.
Being patient with personal demands pays dividends on Sunday morning with a lunar conjunction to amorous Venus. There’s romance in the air; get up early to make a special breakfast for the one you love or head out into the world to see who might catch your eye. A friendly attitude and a playful approach are nearly impossible to resist.
