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.

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.

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.

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.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, July 12

We can use today to take a few deep breaths and begin to integrate what has transpired over the past couple of weeks. Thankfully, the sensual Taurus Moon encourages realism over idealism. Traditionally, the Moon is quite comfortable in the sign of the Bull; she gives us enough stability to stay in touch with our changing feelings without fear of losing our center of gravity. Our unwavering determination enables us to reach our goals.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may get a bit lazy today because something tells you that everything is going to be OK. You know that worrying won’t help matters, even if some things are not quite right. The fact is that there aren’t any quick fixes to life’s current intriguing dilemmas, so let yourself off the hook for now. There is nothing you must do except be fully present in the moment. The rest will follow.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

This is an opportune time to recharge your batteries now that the Moon is back in your sign. Even if you are busy fulfilling your commitments, find small pockets of time to do absolutely nothing at all. Giving yourself permission to contemplate life without the need to be productive is an excellent way to reconnect with what’s truly important.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Don’t let down your guard today or you could find yourself an unwitting participant in someone else’s drama. Sure, you may have a role to play in what’s going down, but it’s time to step back from the action or you’ll get pulled into something that’s bigger than what you bargained for. Instead of trying to directly affect the outcome, take a more spiritual approach to gain a better perspective on the big picture.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

By now you have probably made a choice that will carry you well in to the future. Although your plans are in an early stage of development, you can still make adjustments to them. But, on some level, the deal is done. You’ve gone through a period of serious questioning and now it’s time to concentrate on putting your ideas into action, even if you don’t see results overnight.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might find yourself in a situation where people seem to be relying on you more than you think is healthy. But don’t just brush everyone’s overtures aside. Instead, find the inner strength to express clearly what you can do while admitting what is beyond your reach. You don’t have to fend for anyone now but yourself, so your friends will appreciate your honesty more than your denial.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Applying your analytical skills to your future goals is a valuable exercise now. However, even if you’ve been thinking about a quick getaway or a longer vacation, don’t put off the planning since you have a rare combination of planetary help available today. Your imagination can conjure up an ideal adventure for you and someone special. However, it’s up to you to bring your dreams down to earth.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It seems as if the storm clouds are lifting, but your positive forecast may still be a few days out. Although the emotional skies aren’t totally clear yet, you’re already seeing the welcoming patches of blue amidst the turbulence. Be patient; don’t try to push the dark clouds away. They will continue to drift off on their own accord as you learn to appreciate the rains they bring. Remember, finding the silver lining in a cloud can be its own reward.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You feel a bit more upbeat today as you simplify your life and clarify your needs. Sometimes things seem way more complicated to you than they do to other people. Of course, others aren’t always as perceptive as you are and they do not understand what you see. Nevertheless, eliminating some of the outer noise allows you to get even better at hearing your own inner voice.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

There’s plenty to do today, and it seems as if you are finally ready to attack your assigned tasks. It’s not that you have been lazy during the first half of this week; it’s just that there is a lot going on that continues to distract you from your normal routine. Nevertheless, it’s better to keep going through the motions, even if your heart isn’t into it now. Instead of looking to do things differently, concentrate for a while on crossing things off your list.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You can do nearly anything you put your mind toward today, since your pragmatic nature helps you create a concrete plan to accomplish your goals. Thankfully, your focus is strong and you are determined to do whatever must be done in order to meet your obligations. Although you may be tired and work-weary, if you think you can, then you can. Don’t wait for a better time; start now.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

An emotional conflict today might not be as overwhelming as your recent experiences. In fact, you may not be too concerned at all because you can approach the entire situation in an objective manner, enabling you to rationalize your feelings. Keep in mind that an intellectual orientation allows you to hide your vulnerability, preventing others from getting too close to you. Show your courage by being honest and admitting that you don’t have all the answers.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Even though your feelings can still be quite strong today, your life seems a little calmer. Somehow, you seem to know that you’ll end up exactly where you need to be as long as you move with the tidal flow. However, going contrary to the currents will tire you out. Resistance is futile, so save your strength for when you need it most.

A tomato features in todays cuisine. Sadly, that’s going to be your pinacle of excitement for today.

Taurus

(April 20 – May 20)

Excellent day to crouch behind furniture, and peer over the top. If you can do that while wearing one of those Groucho Marx noses, so much the better.

Gemini

(May 21 – June 20)

Excellent day to study gastroenterology, or possibly to go bowling.

Cancer

(June 21 – July 22)

Today you will receive a gift horse. Unfortunately, it will have a really horrendous case of gingivitis.

Leo

(July 23 – August 22)

You will attain your dream of having your own cooking show, but it will become tiresome when you have to battle your way past people dressed as chickens to get into the studio each day.

Virgo

(August 23 – September 22)

It’s about time you learned some more recipes dealing with zucchini. Lots and lots of zucchini. You’ll need one of those new Martha Stewart “Kitchen Shovels”, I’m afraid. The good news is, you’ll find several nice zucchini recipes in my new cookbook “Recipes For Disaster” (the sequel to “Another Fine Mess”).

Libra

(September 23 – October 22)

Despite having a brilliant mind and a lot of terrific friends, you find yourself stagnating in a quiet backwater, with financial success nowhere in sight. You will go into business for yourself, however, making frozen Piroshki based on your grandmother’s recipe, and will become rich and famous. Your grandmother will thwap you with her umbrella.

Scorpio

(October 23 – November 21)

You will get a new job, soon, in which your most important activity will be to periodically “jiggle a little thingy”. While it will pay well, this will prove to be somewhat awkward to explain at parties. Eventually you will hit on the ploy of saying you sell insurance…

Sagittarius

(November 22 – December 21)

Today, someone named “Svlad” will appear at your door, carrying a large inflatable penguin and a bag of pistachio nuts. Despite your better judgement, you will let him in.

Capricorn

(December 22 – January 20)

You will contemplate nothingness today, but somethingness will keep intruding upon your thoughts.

Aquarius

(January 21 – February 18)

You will discover an odd amulet in an old curio shop, which is made entirely of holmium and yttrium, and which strongly interferes with the normal functioning of electronics. Best not to play with things like that.

Pisces

(February 19 – March 20)

Someone will ask you for your advice. Don’t give it! Or if they insist, simply shake your head solemnly, and mutter “Much bad juju”, and refuse to clarify. They only want a scapegoat.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, July 11th

Although there’s still a lot of electricity in the air today, we are subdued by the Moon’s morning opposition to restrictive Saturn. The past couple of days have been very intense with the Moon in excitable Aries, and we begin to slow down in anticipation of her shift into steady Taurus at 7:30 pm EDT. Even if we’re having trouble resisting temptation, a more sensible approach to life enables us to experience pleasure without overdoing it.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Complex issues continue to weigh on your psyche today, even as the real world pressures appear to ease. Although you’re trying to re-establish balance between your needs and the demands of working with others, you might overstate the importance of a personal preference. Since your strong opinions could instigate an unnecessary meltdown, consider backing down from your supposedly non-negotiable position. Compromise is more stabilizing than conflict.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Even if your intent is to come clean, it may be more difficult to put your feelings out in the open with the Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Secrets. It’s best to avoid being drawn into an intense disagreement that’s fueled by fear of the unknown. Shining your light of awareness into the shadows of consciousness is difficult at first, but grows easier when the Moon enters your dependable sign later this evening.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might experience a wide range of feelings that don’t have an acceptable outlet in your current social setting. However, these unexpressed emotions still have a strong influence on what’s occurring in your outer world. It may be difficult to overcome the resistance that you face, but the blockages are easier to handle once you realize that you are the real obstacle to open communication and not anyone else. Overcome your fears with clear intentions and unrelenting persistence.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You aren’t as hesitant today about expressing your private feelings and you might not be able to stop yourself from saying what’s on your mind. This isn’t about you suddenly demanding what you want; it’s about honoring your inner voice. Don’t keep your thoughts locked up even if you’re not sure about the consequences of disclosure. Say what you must; just remember to be kind in your approach so others will be more receptive to your words.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Try not to overcompensate for any emotional insecurity by acting more intensely than you actually feel today. Disguising your vulnerability with an inflated demonstration of passion can trick others into believing that you have more self-confidence than you really do. Find someone you trust and openly discuss your dilemma, knowing that the ensuing conversation could help you figure out your next move.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Hiding your feelings isn’t a viable option now since everyone seems to be able to read you like an open book. But even when you take the time to explain yourself in great detail, you still aren’t sure that anyone else really understands what you need. Carefully examine your motives so you don’t mislead someone in a way that could be problematic. Once you are clear about your intentions, it will be easier to communicate them to others.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You don’t need to let anyone push you around, for you have more power than you realize. On the other hand, nothing is gained by obsessing about something that you cannot have now. It may be challenging to manage the intensity of your reactions today. Continue to practice moderating your extreme emotions and seek middle ground wherever possible.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Sexy Venus flirts with the fine line between delicious and overindulgent today as she stressfully aligns with the Moon. You aren’t in the mood to play games now, unless you believe they will lead somewhere productive. Nevertheless, you still want to do what’s right, even if you already know what you want. Be careful; make sure that everyone is on the same page before reaching a point of no return.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Logic isn’t necessarily a part of your equation today as you attempt to satisfy your desires. You may be openly communicating with a romantic partner, yet your words can also act as a smoke screen that hides feelings you don’t want to discuss. Avoid coercive tactics since they add power to what’s not being said. Bringing your emotions out into the open can minimize unnecessary confusion later on.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Even your closest friends have a hard time understanding how deeply your feelings run today. Although you don’t often express your needs using emotionally-charged language, your heart can be just as vulnerable as anyone else’s. Something special may be in the emotional slow cooker, but it’s too soon to declare it done. Don’t hurry the process; good things come to those who wait.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your desires could be overridden today by everyone else’s demands. Ultimately, you might decide that it’s a smarter idea to conform instead of rigidly sticking to your own plans. It may be inconvenient to stand up to others right now even if you know what you want; the time and effort required isn’t worth it. But your needs grow in strength if you try to simply ignore them. Avoid the possibility of losing your temper by letting others know your preference without being attached to the outcome.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Dancing simultaneously in multiple realities can be exciting for you today, but it also produces extra stress. You are tempted to choose one set of emotions to live by, while burying the other. However, you’re being called to do powerful inner work while still keeping up external appearances. Keeping one foot on the ground in each realm helps you face your feelings, even if you cannot fully integrate them into your current life yet.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for July 11th

The universe finally pipes down after three days of martial fireworks, Neptunian mischief-making, and quarter moon tensions. Major solar and planetary aspects disappear completely while the Moon in Aries makes its monthly polarity to Saturn in Libra (2:24AM PDT) – beginning a 14+ hour void lunar uncertainty cycle that lasts until 4:32PM PDT.  Trying to make things happen your way during this void-of-course Moon time-span is foolish. Slow your tempo across the board. Patience is a cardinal virtue. Completing odds and ends makes sense with the Moon out of sorts.  Once the lunar orb enters earthy Taurus (4:32PM PDT), handle financial issues with flair and logic. Arts, crafts and hobbies are highlighted this evening as the Moon parallels Mercury (9:25PM PDT) followed by a supportive, 60-degree link from the Moon to visionary Neptune (10:10PM PDT). The Moon-Neptune alliance also favors experimenting with a favorite musical instrument, camera, poetry style or dance routine.  Start gearing up for stations and shifts retrograde by Uranus (Friday July 13) and Mercury (Saturday July 14). Forewarned is forearmed – so goes an ancient saying connected to astrology.
