Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, July 10

We are likely to react emotionally, yet still withhold any outward display as the impulsive Aries Moon squares the passive Cancer Sun, emphasizing the difference between how we feel and what we express. We must make choices by trying to balance our enthusiasm with sensitivity. A spiritual Moon-Neptune alignment can be confusing now by tempting us with unrealistic fantasies, yet our dreams still offer rewards if we’re willing to explore them.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your air of optimism may dissipate as you think about letting others know exactly what’s on your mind. However, if you do tell all you might have a mess on your hands to clean up afterward. Discretion is important or you could needlessly hurt the feelings of someone you really like. An act of kindness is worth far more than a self-indulgent disclosure.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You would like to be by yourself today, but there may be too much going on for you to completely withdraw. It appears that you cannot have it either way. If you are home alone, you can’t keep your mind off the fun things you could be doing. And if you are out with friends or family, you just want some quiet time to yourself. No matter what, don’t fall into the trap of blaming your dissatisfaction on anyone else. Make the most of where you are in the present moment without trying to be somewhere else.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your friends may be the source of a current dilemma, especially if they have one agenda and you have another. Social activities can play an important role in your weekend, but you might be bored with the agreed-upon schedule. Don’t let yourself get roped into doing anything you cannot easily escape. Establishing your boundaries up front is wiser than suffering the consequences of just going along with the crowd.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Instead of being in charge of a group activity, you would rather have everyone share in the responsibilities now. You really don’t have much patience since everything seems to take longer than it should. Instead of hurrying others along, try slowing yourself down. You may be surprised at how well this unorthodox strategy works for you today.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are ready for a vacation and even if you cannot take an extended one, a quick weekend getaway should be enough to alleviate the pressure. Don’t worry if you haven’t made any plans yet. A spontaneous day trip can be just what the doctor ordered. But if you’re already booked for the day, at least pick a weekend on the calendar and start planning your great escape.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

A new approach in your dealings with an intimate partner or a business associate might be enough to change a difficult dynamic. But don’t expect to make gains without some sort of uncomfortable confrontation first. Once you put your feelings out on the table, others will be able to engage you on an emotional level and this can make all the difference in the world.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A conflict that’s been quietly brewing for several days might explode into a full-blown argument today. Although you believe that you have an airtight case, keep in mind that someone else may be thinking the same thing. Paradoxically, reality can support multiple points of view, so don’t turn this into a fight to the finish. Instead, find a way that allows both of you to be right.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Discovering new ways to do the same old things brightens your day with fun and excitement. But just because you have a great idea doesn’t mean you can turn it into reality. Rather than trying to take on too much and fix everything today, just make one small improvement to your routine. Proactive change has a greater positive impact than you realize.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you would like today to be a play day you have previous commitments to fulfill, making it difficult to just go off and have fun. If you do ignore your current responsibilities, you might end up feeling so guilty that you cannot enjoy yourself, anyhow. Don’t be in such a hurry to run out on your obligations. Instead, bring others into your confidence by letting them know about your desires. They may be more willing to compromise in such a way that you get some time off, anyhow.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Spending some time at home today might not be as relaxing as you wish, for your day is filled with excitement no matter what you do. Instead of trying to withdraw from the action, engage it head on. By involving yourself voluntarily, you’ll end up feeling more in control. And even if you try to go off on your own, you’ll still get pulled into the day’s events. Letting go of control allows you to enjoy yourself more than you could imagine.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your day can feel like one personal crisis after another if you attempt to spend it in solitude, because others will likely be more involved with your business than you wish. Even if you are left alone, you probably won’t be able to completely relax since you have work to do. Although you believe you know what’s best, be flexible and let your friends influence your plans. Expect the unexpected and enjoy the ride.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Retail therapy might make you feel better today, but this is merely masking a symptom of a deeper issue. Your values are changing and you are eager to surround yourself with material objects that reflect your new outlook on life. Go ahead and honor your impulse to spend money, but avoid buyer’s remorse by making sure that your purchase is also practical.

Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for July 9th

Big promises and promising ideas can be misleading this weekend when communicative Mercury turns retrograde in bold and colorful Leo on Saturday. Clever conversations are filled with love and laughter, yet it’s easy to avoid facing uncomfortable facts that may be critical to making wise decisions. When it comes to relationships, open your heart now but don’t lose your head.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The week starts out with passion as the Moon fires up your impulsive sign from Monday morning to Wednesday evening. Feelings settle down until Saturday when smart comments and snappy conversation grab attention. Yet be careful of becoming so clever that you lose credibility. It’s hard to trust or be trusted when every syllable could be the punch line of a joke. Straight talk is the key to romantic success.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon’s presence in your earthy sign from Wednesday evening to Saturday morning arouses your senses and tugs at your heart. Indulging in delicious food, sweet music and the wonders of nature makes you fall in love with life. When you’re feeling this good about yourself, others naturally want to be around you. Just remain open-minded this weekend because flexibility is sexier than standing your ground; a little adaptability goes a long way in cultivating a healthy relationship.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You have more good ideas than you know what do with this week. But your verbal ruling planet Mercury turns retrograde on Saturday, reminding you to slow down and rethink your position on a number of key areas over the next three weeks. Additionally, the Moon shifts into your interactive sign over the weekend, casting the spotlight on your emotions. Clever conversations are extremely entertaining, but big talk can raise expectations beyond reason. Less flash and more substance may not sound sexy, but it’s safer and saner for everyone involved.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You don’t have to be in the middle of the action to enjoy yourself this weekend. The inquisitive Gemini Moon’s visit to your private 12th house is more suitable for intimate getaways or time spent alone curled up with a good book. There’s so much to think about now, especially with brainy Mercury’s retrograde turn on Saturday. Reconsidering how you use your resources and how much to open your heart are questions to study during the next three weeks.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Friends are a source of entertainment with the flirty Gemini Moon activating your 11th House of Groups this weekend. It’s wise to avoid making serious social commitments since intellectual Mercury is turning retrograde in your sign on Saturday. There is key information that needs to surface before you will be ready to make a meaningful move in relationships. Playing with your appearance, though, is harmless fun as long as you don’t go too far.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Whispering with someone on the sidelines can be a source of silly fun this weekend. Chatty Mercury aligns favorably with captivating Venus on Saturday, which is perfect for sweet talk. But since your verbal ruling planet is turning retrograde that day, don’t take what you hear to heart. Playfully flirting or skirting important emotional matters makes sense until you get the information you need to make any serious decisions.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Relationships are on the front burner this week with the Moon traveling through your partnership houses until Saturday. The real challenge is how to deal with a charming but selfish person, and the answer is to put your own needs first. Once you’ve established what you want, negotiations can begin on equal terms. Contradictory advice from different sources this weekend indicates that you need more time to reflect on important issues.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Passion starts to percolate on Wednesday evening when the Moon enters sensual Taurus and your 7th House of Partners. You need to be patient if you’re dealing with a stubborn person who will not be pushed around. Applying pressure won’t help, but greater flexibility arrives on Saturday evening. Your mind starts to open and you recognize that there is more than one way to please others and fulfill your desires as well. Collaboration, not competition, is the essential ingredient to creating a loving relationship.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Save some energy for Saturday when the Moon flies into playful Gemini and your 7th House of Partners. Making connections comes easily if you’re single, and finding more fun in a current relationship is likely, too. Verbal Mercury’s backward shift in proud Leo on Saturday can make off-handed comments sound like judgments from on high. Speaking with confidence, though, is no guarantee that the words are true.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Reward yourself in the middle of the week when the Moon skips into sensual Taurus and your 5th House of Romance early Wednesday evening. Put away your concerns about work and take some time to play. Simple fun with an easygoing person reduces stress and opens your heart. The key to making this magic happen is to set aside long-term relationship ambitions to indulge yourself in the joy that’s available to you in the present moment.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon lights up chatty Gemini and your amorous 5th house on Saturday, making for a lively weekend, overflowing with many playful distractions. One minor complication is mental Mercury’s retrograde turn in your 7th House of Partners on Saturday, lasting for the next three weeks. The desire to impress someone could lead to exaggeration, or you might attract a person who promises more than can be delivered. Take these wild declarations as mere speculations and no one will get hurt in the process.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The jittery Gemini Moon joins your expansive ruling planet Jupiter on Saturday night, which can overload your social calendar. Saying yes is normal when you’re in a positive mood, but setting priorities and limiting your options helps you make a better choice. Being so open about your feelings is one of your most alluring assets, yet with verbal Mercury turning retrograde, measuring your words carefully will avoid complications.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, July 9

Strange forces are definitely on the prowl today – particularly on the business, professional and leadership fronts. Yesterday’s void Moon in Pisces uncertainty zone remains in effect until 5:15AM PDT when the lunar baton is handed over to fiery, independent-minded Aries. That shift gives the impression of strength and empowerment, but the Sun forms a dicey, 135-degree tie with hazy Neptune (9:10AM PDT). This is happening less than 24 hours after Mars made an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to Neptune. When Neptune is more shadowy than inspirational, we have widespread confusion, chaos, illusions and unsettled conditions taking hold throughout humanity.  It’s also important to realize that every year on or very close to July 9, the Sun triggers the Pluto discovery degree from when that distant planet came into our awareness back on February 18, 1930. If Pluto’s discovery placement becomes stimulated, circumstances beyond one’s control are often in the driver’s seat temporarily.  On the other hand, providing some positive vibrations are Vesta entering versatile and adaptable Gemini (2:26PM PDT), the Moon uniting with intuition-enhancing Uranus (9:49PM PDT), and a productivity-vitalizing Ceres-Jupiter union at 7 degrees of Gemini (10:14PM PDT). The main question will be whether this trio of celestial alignments offers a balance with the recent Neptunian cloud-cover – providing a favorable psychic environment as Monday night morphs into Tuesday morning.
