Your Daily Horoscopes for July 31

It may actually feel good to put in extra effort today, especially when we experience the satisfaction of a job well done. The industrious Capricorn Moon forms dynamic squares with impulsive Mars and compulsive Saturn, motivating us to overcome any obstacles in our path. We may rush into starting a project without a lot of forethought; fortunately, we can avoid distractions and sustain a steady work pace with a stabilizing Venus-Saturn trine.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You feel as if you have been riding a rollercoaster recently with all your emotional ups and downs. However, now you’re more even-keeled as you get a handle on the relationship between what you desire and what you’re willing to give up in order to get it. If you went overboard on your search for independence, it’s time to be supportive of someone you love to heal the rift you possibly created.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be a very formidable opponent today, even if you’re trying to steer clear of any sort of conflict. Your patience and determination can wear down someone who stands in your way. Your strength comes from your ability to avoid arguments, even if there’s a noticeable difference of opinion. Don’t push too hard; gentle persuasion works in your favor better than anything else.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might be protective of your feelings now, but your quiet acceptance of others can help to create peace and harmony. Enjoy the current calm, but remember that it may just be the temporary eye in the center of a storm. Don’t worry about justifying your unconventional goals to anyone today; you are well equipped to tell your story as long as you’re not in a hurry. Slow and steady wins the race.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

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

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You know what’s possible today and what’s not. You have a realistic outlook on life now, indicating that this may be a good time to make a decision about a major purchase or a job change. But don’t limit your options by playing it safe. A calculated risk could be your smartest strategy, especially if you’re willing to act methodically, rather than impulsively.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Clarity returns today, allowing you to have confidence about an important decision you must make. However, it’s a mistake to believe that your current choice is your final one because logical Mercury is retrograde in your 12th House of Destiny. You have a general understanding of where you are heading, but there are still specifics to be determined. Give yourself some breathing room so you can respond to the facts as you learn them.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You probably know more than you’re saying today and no one can get you to spill the beans. Perhaps a friend told you something in confidence, or maybe you just haven’t yet put your ideas into words. Either way, your allies quickly appreciate your high level of integrity now because they understand that you will share what is necessary when the time is right.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

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

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

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

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

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

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

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

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

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

Your Daily Horoscopes for 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.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for July 20

Finally, we can all wave goodbye to Mars for at least a 48-hour time-period. Its replacement is a combination of highly favorable aspects – at least in the early hours as the Moon in Leo unites with Mercury (12:35AM PDT), the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree rapport with Venus (8:52AM PDT), Mercury forms an inspirational, 72-degree tie with Saturn (10:06AM PDT) while Mercury also trines Pallas (2:31PM PDT).  With Mercury the key agent in three of these four alignments, communication channels are wide open and ready for business. Your problem-solving abilities and strategic mind-set are greatly enhanced. The Moon and Venus reinforcing each other’s strengths is terrific for building solid love bonds, augmenting your bank account, and adding exclamation points to your social agenda.  However, just when it seems that everything is coming up roses, Jupiter decides to make a caustic, 135-degree link to fellow giant planet Saturn (7:01PM PDT). Anytime these two largest planets in our solar system act like spoiled brats, human affairs tend to go awry. In particular, you want to be extra careful on the business, educational and professional fronts. Don’t bite off more than you can chew.  In addition, the Moon in lively Leo starts a void cycle at 10:19PM PDT – with this uncertainty time-span lasting until 10:25AM PDT tomorrow. Keep a low profile overnight while unsettled conditions rule the roost.
