14: Abundant Blessings

Ah, but be careful. Along with any accumulation of wealth or influence can come pride and arrogance. Fight such tendencies if you intend to continue enjoying your bliss. Stay attentive enough to manage your affairs well. And remember that while material prosperity certainly beats the alternative, it is only one of many elements of a satisfying life.

Your Daily Number for July 26th: 7
You may find yourself changing your priorities today and engaging in self-criticism. A confrontation with a loved one is possible, so keep your cool. Today is about your own spiritual realizations, wisdom, and hope. You’re comfortable being alone today and will probably be in a somewhat self-reflective frame of mind.

Today’s Tarot Card for July 26th is The Lovers
The Lovers

This Tarot Deck: Etteilla
Classically, the energy of this card reminded us of the real challenges posed by romantic relationships, with the protagonist often shown in the act of making an either-or choice. To partake of a higher ideal often requires sacrificing the lesser option. The path of pleasure eventually leads to distraction from spiritual growth. The gratification of the personality eventually gives way to a call from spirit as the soul matures.
Modern decks tend to portray the feeling of romantic love with this card, showing Adam and Eve at the gates of Eden when everything was still perfect. This interpretation portrays humanity before the Fall, and can be thought to imply a different sort of choice — the choice of evolution over perfection, or the choice of personal growth through relationship — instead of a fantasy where everything falls into place perfectly and is taken care of without effort.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, July 26th

You are naturally inclined to be a pioneer, exploring unknown territories and courageously doing things for the first time. Today’s fidgety Gemini Moon encourages you to add even more activities to your already busy schedule. Although you might enjoy running off in several different directions at once, narrowing your focus now and concentrating on one task at a time will enable you to be even more productive.

The Moon’s visit to your 2nd House of Self-Worth today motivates you to reevaluate your possessions and what they mean to you. A realistic assessment of what you have versus what you need can produce some pretty interesting results. You might realize that it would be easier to get by with less, but are unwilling to make the adjustments necessary to change your lifestyle. Although no immediate action is required, a fresh perspective will do you good.

It’s hard for you to decide what’s best for you today because the Moon in dualistic Gemini has you seeing double. Even after you have made your choice, a single destination morphs into two distinct possibilities — just like the many-headed Hydra who grew two heads every time one was cut off. There’s no need to answer every question posed to you; some dilemmas are better left unresolved for now.

You have the ability to sound more certain today than you actually feel. Although you may be lost in self-doubt, your co-workers might not realize that you are so unsure of yourself. Ironically, you could receive support from others and be more successful professionally if you share your current concerns with a trusted friend, rather than trying to hide your insecurity. Being honest now really is the best policy.

You Lions usually prefer to play in a pack, but today you might want to go your own way. You like the idea of doing things as part of a group, yet you also need to maintain some autonomy or you will feel trapped by the very same people that you want in your life. Don’t sacrifice your individuality to be accepted by others because you will likely need more freedom, rather than less, over the next few days.

You might feel as if you’re struggling to maintain your sense of purpose today. You have a very clear sense of what you need to do, but circumstances may pull you in several different directions at once. While you prefer to drill down on the details of what you already started, responsibilities demand that you spread yourself thinner to cover the workload. Recognize your limits; staying within them now will make everyone involved happier.

You may have grandiose ideas about what you want to do in the future, and adopting a common-sense approach actually enables you to live out your dream. However, this is not an overnight project; your long-range planning might take months to manifest. If you find yourself getting restless now, remember the old adage, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”

Sometimes when you dive into an emotional situation, you do so with such intensity that you lose perspective. However, today you’re able to be fully involved without being hooked by someone else’s melodrama. Your rational approach gives you a cool head now, so others may lean on you even more. It’s a gift to share your thoughts as long as you don’t attempt to control what happens next.

You are a champion at gazing far off into the distance, but not as good sometimes at seeing what’s right under your nose. A close friend or partner may attempt to change your perspective by inundating you with information about something that’s occurring right now. Unfortunately, you may think that the current events are merely a distraction from your more evolved perspective. Don’t be so quick to judge others; instead, be open to what they can teach you in the present moment.

You may want to talk today instead of doing your work, but too much idle chatter will only lead to trouble. Thankfully, the interactive Gemini Moon’s current visit to your 6th House of Daily Routine is stabilized by self-restrained Saturn. Although it’s hard for you to settle down now, it becomes easier if you stay focused on your immediate goals. Remember, your actions have more impact than your words.

You are buzzing with creative ideas today, but all your innovative thinking could be for naught unless you take the time to turn your thoughts into action. However, initiating a new project doesn’t ensure automatic success; you must have the necessary persistence to finish whatever you start. Following through with your intentions is possible if you keep your eyes on the distant prize of success.

Although you might like to space out and lose yourself in a daydream today, there’s way too much going on for that to realistically happen. You may be drawn from one project to another, without having enough time to settle into any of them. Instead of working yourself up into a state of high anxiety, remember that this level of noise won’t last. In the meantime, set your fantasies aside until you have taken care of business.
