Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, July 12th

We may be caught between two opposing cosmic messages today as the outgoing Sagittarius Moon lifts our spirits and widens our horizons. Her harmonious aspects to chatty Mercury and active Mars help us to communicate clearly while encouraging energetic interactions with others. However, affectionate Venus, already hesitant in timid Cancer, forms a stressful square with somber Saturn. Instead of turning on the charm, we may seek isolation instead.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may grow tired of encouraging other people’s ideas, especially if they don’t even seem to listen to yours. You want to maintain a positive attitude, but could withdraw your support if your irritation turns to resentment. Be careful how you express your frustration. Leaving close friends and co-workers to fend for themselves will only increase ill will. There’s no need to overreact; expressing your concerns is healthy, but you don’t have to alienate others in the process.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

An unresolved issue with a workmate needs to be addressed as your key planet Venus harshly squares authoritative Saturn. You understand the importance of sharing your feelings now, but fear the negative consequences of being completely honest. Nevertheless, you must say what’s on your mind or people will draw incorrect conclusions because they lack the basic facts. Being kind to others will help you move through a conflict gracefully.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may go through a day or two of self-doubt as Venus in your 2nd House of Self-Worth squares hard-nosed Saturn. Take time to consider what is most important to you, but don’t minimize the needs of others. Even if you aren’t happy enough to dance in the streets, don’t take it out on those nearby. Simply do what you must to make yourself more comfortable and then get busy with what must be done. Your life will quickly improve on its own if you don’t focus solely on what’s wrong.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Tough Saturn squares sweet Venus in your sensitive sign, signifying changes in your personal life. You are at the end of a cycle, but not ready yet to begin the next one. You might not be able to see the opportunities that are coming your way, but they are just around the corner. Don’t panic and try to make something happen, but don’t give up prematurely, either. Just accept that you still need time to process recent events before jumping ahead into something new.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might be anxious today, even if you cannot logically determine the source of your feelings. There could be specific issues that you’re dealing with, but your worry might be out of proportion with what’s actually happening now. Nevertheless, it’s not wise to avoid your feelings; denial only strengthens them. Instead, pay careful attention to all physical symptoms without trying to control your sensations. Resistance is futile, so let your emotions ripple through the present moment. Tomorrow will be a brand new day.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

In theory, you want to be included in a larger group of friends or associates, but you’re more comfortable being an outsider today. You might think that everyone disagrees with you now, and you may feel excluded even if you don’t voice your opinions. Ironically, you will be more accepted if you let your peers know exactly where you stand. No one can fault you for speaking from the heart.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your ruling planet Venus, now visiting your 10th House of Career, provokes feelings of loneliness as she squares judgmental Saturn. Emotional stress that has been pressurizing for a while could suddenly explode and turn your professional life upside down. Instead of worrying about the unknown, embrace the upcoming shift. Even if you face a temporary setback, the lessons you learn today can help to reestablish equilibrium in your life.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The recent emphasis on your 9th House of Higher Truth enables you to see far into your own future. However, you might not be pleased with where your current path is now leading. But instead of allowing yourself to grow discouraged, concentrate on the possibilities ahead. Don’t alter your present course, even if you’re feeling as if something has gone awry. Today’s malaise will pass, leaving you with a clearer sense of what to do tomorrow.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are a champ at making your life look fabulous, yet today you might be hurting deep inside where others won’t notice. You may even be uncharacteristically self-critical because your shortcomings are so apparent to you now. You will feel better if you share your new realizations with someone who will give you honest feedback. However, it’s not wise to blab about your secrets to everyone, so choose your confidants carefully before you entrust them with your heart.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may feel lonely today as loving Venus in your 7th House of Others squares your key planet, Saturn the Taskmaster. You don’t like it when someone comes down hard on you or makes unreasonable demands. However, logic can’t help you decide how to respond now; trust your instincts, instead. If your gut tells you no, then don’t do it. On the other hand, if you think you should get involved, give it one hundred percent, even if you must set aside a previous commitment.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your regular routine may feel oppressive today, yet there’s no simple escape route. Nevertheless, it’s still a smart idea to think about what you are doing and why you continue to do it. Naturally, breaking out of a rut sounds good, but maintaining the status quo feels much safer now. Don’t make any changes until you are ready. Your motivation needs to come from within to have a significant impact.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Others may think that they understand you well enough to give you advice; however, their false assumptions only serve to alienate you. Their expectations can be quite unrealistic, yet these unfair judgments hold power over you now. Don’t make any long-term decisions today, for your current emotional disconnection is warping your perspective. Be patient; a more positive outlook will return in a day or two.

Daily Horoscopes for Monday, July 11th

It’s easy for our feelings to grow out of control once the Moon enters cavalier Sagittarius at 5:46 am EDT. We’re motivated to express ourselves in a big way without worrying about the consequences, but we can miss important subtleties in our rush for recognition. Fortunately, we get cosmic help as energetic Mars in interactive Gemini creates a supportive sextile with communicator Mercury. However, the quickest response isn’t always the best one.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re very excited about all the possibilities in your life now that the fiery Sagittarius Moon is tempting you to push your limits even further. You could even believe that the signs are telling you to go ahead and do it all, even if you don’t have enough energy to keep up with such an active schedule. Be smart and practice saying no, or you might spread yourself so thin that you end up exhausting yourself and having no fun at all.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may spend too much money on something you don’t really need, but impulsive purchases aren’t necessarily a smart idea today. Although you might regret your momentary lack of fiscal discipline, you could be motivated to act now if you think that you’ll lose your chance by letting the opportunity pass. However, the sense of urgency is an illusion and isn’t based on what’s actually happening. You can avoid buyer’s remorse if you simply take extra time to weigh your options prior to opening your wallet.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury harmonizes with pushy Mars in your friendly sign today, provoking you to talk up a storm. But however enticing a social invitation sounds now, you might need some time to relax away from other people. Everyone seems to be encouraging you to do more, but you don’t have to live up to their expectations. Instead of succumbing to peer pressure, listen to your own voice and do what sounds right.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Employment may mean that your big ideas about what you intend to accomplish at work today are not realistic. It’s healthy to remember that even your most sensible plans might need to be set aside if you’re distracted by something more interesting than your responsibilities. It’s not that you’re feeling scattered; it’s just that boredom is setting in. It’s okay to explore new avenues of expression as long as you follow through with everything you start.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are highly enthusiastic about playing with your friends, even if you have real work to do today. It’s hard to get the fun and games out of your mind, whether or not you can participate in them. However, you may be tired of having to take the lead to make anything happen. Acknowledging that you deserve some downtime is part of your solution now; the other part is scheduling your day so you fit in some work and some play.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You feel as if you’re at odds with yourself today because you can’t find the right balance between too little and too much. You are naturally competent in handling details. However, your current extravagance tempts you to promise more than you can deliver, especially if you skim over a crucial piece of information. Thinking about all the possibilities now is healthy as long as you remember that your common sense is still your greatest asset.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your friends may believe that you’re a bit imbalanced today, especially if your optimism pushes you toward big thinking. Although everything may appear better than it actually is now, you might overcompensate by seeing potential problems everywhere you look. Keep in mind that the truth is somewhere in between the extremes and it’s smarter to moderate your enthusiasm rather than going overboard in either direction.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may not be willing to let go of your financial concerns, even if you’re more positive now about the future. The upbeat Sagittarius Moon shines a spotlight on your 2nd House of Possessions now and you recognize that your success depends upon consolidating your gains. If you try to bolt ahead too quickly, you may end up jeopardizing your progress. Allow your enthusiasm to build, but move forward cautiously until you build a momentum that you can sustain.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s return to inspirational Sagittarius reminds you of how significant your feelings are to your happiness. Unfortunately, you are sometimes tempted to override your emotions if they get in the way of an exciting activity. However, you are unable to ignore what your body tells you today. Your moods are vital indicators of your overall well-being now, so pay extra careful attention to honoring what your heart needs.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Paradoxically, you may be very talkative today, even though you might prefer being left alone. You aren’t ready to engage with the noise of the world now and it would be wise to avoid unnecessary social events and gatherings of large groups of people. Initiating meaningful one-on-one conversations allows you to connect on a deeper level with someone special. Even if being accepted by a club or a clique could help you achieve your goals, save the socializing for another day.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re buzzing today as the Moon in your 11th House of Friends and Associates fires up your social life, even if it’s a workday. It’s not easy to stay serious about your job now, unless it involves interacting with your peers. You want to be connected with your tribe, even if it’s in a business rather than a personal setting. Fortunately, you’ll receive the support and admiration of your co-workers if you take care of your obligations as expected.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your vision of the future captures the imagination of your associates today, leading you to assume a greater amount of authority. You may not want to be the boss, but others realize that you’re one of the few people who actually understand what’s happening. Don’t turn down a leadership role if you are chosen by your peers. Stand up and play your part; you will be able to step back with a sense of accomplishment later on.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, July 9th

Yesterday’s intensity continues, yet our emotions may be easier to manage today. The Moon shifts into controlling Scorpio at 2:31 am EDT, helping us to contain our passions, while an early morning sextile from romantic Venus to expansive Jupiter pushes us to break out of our shells. A supportive sextile from logical Mercury to stabilizing Saturn sustains steady growth if we stop long enough to make a plan, instead of rushing ahead too soon.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your impulsive reactions may create unnecessary trouble today, especially if you don’t acknowledge someone’s existing boundaries. There are times when it’s acceptable to push back against another person’s resistance, but it must be done in a thoughtful manner. Stop to consider if you may be stepping out of line. A healthy relationship depends upon your ability to respect your partner’s needs for personal space.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be quite optimistic today because your ruling planet Venus receives a positive attitude adjustment from joyful Jupiter. But anyone who actually takes the time to communicate with you quickly realizes that you’ve given serious thought to your current position. Others may be surprised by how practical your analysis is now. Nevertheless, it’s still a good idea to step through your plan one more time prior to taking action.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Reality comes back into focus slowly today, and it could take a few more days before your feet are both on the ground again. Nevertheless, you are tempted to milk an opportunity for all it can offer. There’s nothing wrong with trying to make a special moment last longer, but it’s also wise to pay attention to the cues you receive from others. Balancing your current desire to have fun with following a more serious agenda will give you the best of both worlds.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your immediate environment feels more spacious today, giving you enough room to contemplate your feelings without judgmental restrictions by others. But this current openness may be daunting if you decide to share your thoughts, because you might not be able to figure out when to stop. Thankfully, you can use your common sense to balance your need for connection with your desire to be alone.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you may believe that you’re being adaptable, you’re more fixed than you realize today. Unfortunately, sticking to your original agenda might bring more frustration than happiness, especially if you pass up an interesting opportunity because of your lack of flexibility. Ultimately, it’s about trusting the process; letting go of control could turn an uncomfortable situation into a positive one.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are happily surprised by the easy flow of feelings today, but you might feel challenged to maintain a cool analytical approach to your goals. Your subjectivity may have more impact than you wish, leading you to compensate by retreating into the safety of your logic. Although you are probably more comfortable trusting your thoughts rather than your emotions, shielding yourself from the uncertainties of your desires can also lessen the joy they bring.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your ruling planet Venus receives a boost from jolly Jupiter now, lifting your spirits higher and higher. Although you want to be indulged by someone you like, there may be a reason why you won’t allow yourself to let loose and have fun. As crucial as it is to live up to your promises and fulfill your responsibilities, it’s also important to recognize that you will have more to offer others in the long run if you take some time to enjoy yourself today.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s return to your sign brings wide mood swings, and you aren’t sure whether to feel happy or sad because each new opportunity also presents a serious obstacle. Fortunately, you should be able to work within the limits of nearly any situation now, as long as you don’t greedily expect something for nothing. Be willing to do the serious thinking, detailed planning and heavy lifting required to make the most of the present moment.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Much of what’s happening for you is hidden from others now, although they may think they know what you are experiencing. Fortunately, you realize that it’s wise to keep some of your feelings quiet, even though buoyant Jupiter helps you put on a great show of love and support. Don’t feel responsible to explain your thoughts to anyone today; it will be easier to discuss your secret worries next week.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You aren’t happy about dealing with someone if you know that he or she isn’t being honest with you. You intuitively sense when others are hiding their feelings, but you can’t confront them now or they’ll get defensive and slip deeper into denial. Your lesson now is to learn how to live with uncertainty. You won’t likely hear the rest of the story for a few days, so be patient and take comfort in knowing that you will discover the truth in time.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You like the positive vibes coming your way today because it feels as if others are encouraging you to be yourself. However, you can’t put your finger on something that doesn’t feel quite right. Unfortunately, you only grow more frustrated as you struggle to discover what you don’t know — especially because you actually might not be missing anything at all. There’s nothing you need to do now; your weird sense of uncertainty will pass. In the meantime, accept the support that you receive with humility and grace.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are in a smooth emotional flow today, but you aren’t sure where the currents are heading. Thankfully, your destination isn’t what’s important; what matters is that you stay as open as possible so you can fully experience each moment. But this isn’t about escaping from responsibilities, for you still must fulfill your obligations. Don’t overanalyze what’s happening; your primary job now is to stay in touch with what’s in your heart.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, July 7th

Although the Moon is in peaceful Libra today, her challenging aspects run us through an emotional obstacle course. We may hesitate at first, but we will probably express our desires if we feel secure. However, others may be shocked by what we want now because romantic Venus squares unconventional Uranus. Meanwhile, a long-lasting Jupiter-Pluto trine increases the overall intensity and encourages us to reach higher and set more ambitious goals.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You need an emotionally neutral setting so you can tell those closest to you how you feel today. Although you claim that you want calm and tranquil interactions, you’re also longing for a bit of excitement. You might not be worried by what others think of your choices because you believe that nothing can get in your way now. Unfortunately, you may inadvertently overstep someone’s limits. Displaying a little humility now can help you achieve personal satisfaction.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your ruling planet Venus may bring sweetness into your life today in a way that is fresh and different. However, the opportunity you have for pleasure comes at a high price now. Keep in mind that your desire for simplicity means that you may have to set aside previous priorities. But don’t bother trying to get approval from a friend, unless you’re seeking to deepen that particular relationship. Remember, communicating your feelings isn’t all fun and games; it takes hard work and an open heart.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may believe that you should be discreet today because you assume that your quirky tastes will appear odd to those around you. It’s true that others might judge you harshly because your current preferences seem weird in comparison to theirs. However, they might also envy you and wonder how you created the life that you’re living. Don’t slip too far away from social conventions. You have to follow the rules just like everyone else.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You could turn out to be your own biggest enemy today, especially if you’re trying to calm your concerns about your emotional security. You long for the safety of a nurturing relationship, yet you may grow restless with a new situation. Even if you want to break out of your restrictive emotional bonds, balance your desire for excitement in the moment with the stability that you ultimately need.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may think that you know what’s best today and you’re willing to discard your old agenda if the right temptation comes your way. Unfortunately, your friends are not helping the situation by encouraging you to join them on their next adventure. Nevertheless, you need some playtime and may say yes if the invitation arrives when you are ready to escape. Just remember that your work will still be waiting for you when you return.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your friends or co-workers might surprise you today with their resistance to going along with a previously agreed upon plan. You may feel as if there is a mutiny in progress, but the plot is more likely a cry for freedom than a play for power. It’s futile to restrain the free flow of ideas. Even if a conversation makes you uneasy, you’ll probably feel better once everyone’s concerns are out in the open.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your plans are pulling you in different directions now, yet you realize you cannot take both paths. You’re not yet ready to close one of the doors in favor of another. Although you wish you were able to postpone your decision permanently, today’s events can solidify your thinking. Unfortunately, there are others directly impacted by your decision, and you cannot control everyone else’s reactions. Even if you are ambivalent, it’s wiser to just make a choice and then move on.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your feelings are growing stronger, yet this can make sharing them more complicated than ever. You can easily talk yourself into keeping your desires to yourself now because you’re fearful of other peoples’ reactions to your intense passion. Or, you might believe that your inner process isn’t anyone else’s business. Although you have sensible concerns, you would be smarter to take a risk and show your vulnerability.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your key planet Jupiter is naturally optimistic and today’s trine to intense Pluto can lead you to take your confidence too far. But looking good is easier today than feeling good. Although you aren’t purposefully faking your good mood, you’re still only revealing part of your story. Be aware of your tendency to hide your emotions because expressing them could be the catalyst you need to change an old behavior pattern.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s rather unsettling if you’re attracted to the exact same instability today that you typically try to avoid. But you may be totally fascinated by someone’s unorthodox style or radical ideas, even if you cannot see any practical value in it. Your unusual behavior might worry you, but don’t hold yourself back. Rest assured that your more traditional approach to life will return in a couple of days.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your key planet Uranus can often be emotionally detached, but today it brings a sudden awakening of attraction and desire as it squares aesthetically pleasing Venus. But you’re not drawn to the same old things; instead, do something that pulls you into new territory. For now, the crazier your idea, the more satisfaction you can derive from acting on it.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You reserve the right to be different today as spacey Uranus activates beautiful Venus in your 5th House of Romance. You aren’t interested in being just like everyone else, so show off the twinkle in your eyes and enjoy the bounce in your step. Don’t be afraid to move to the rhythm of music that no one but you can hear.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, July 5th

On one hand, today’s efficient Virgo Moon narrows our thinking and focuses our attention on the smallest details. On the other hand, rational Mercury forms a stressful square with expansive Jupiter, inflating molehills into mountains. We can turn passing thoughts into grandiose plans or fleeting ideas into belief systems. Still, we won’t get away with sloppy logic because Mercury aligns with punishing Pluto, forcing us to rethink our conclusions.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are tempted to turn every little insignificant idea into a world of unlimited potential. You can, as William Blake wrote, “see infinity in a grain of sand.” But reaching for the stars doesn’t mean that you will actually reach them. Nevertheless, just extending yourself beyond your normal limits can create opportunities that will lead you to a more fulfilling life.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

No matter what you do to keep yourself on task today, you might not be able to resist an offer that sounds better than it is. Thankfully, you also need some personal space now, so you might be able to maintain a bit of distance between you and someone who entices you with a good idea. Don’t withdraw completely; just stay aware of what could happen if you leave your work undone.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury has you on a mental tilt-a-whirl today and it can be tricky to keep your bearings. Riding a wave of enthusiasm is fun, but you also have serious business to attend to now. Fortunately, your analytical powers are strong if you can remember to balance pleasure with practicality. But don’t try to take any shortcuts; managing your time wisely will pay off in the long run.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may feel stuck if your emotions aren’t in harmony with your experiences today, and your growing impatience provokes you to justify your impulsive actions. Your highly opinionated manner and apparent self-confidence might be a way to hide your fear, but you could take things too far if you’re not careful. Take a deep breath and bring yourself back to your center before your unsubstantiated facts land you in a pile of trouble.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your dilemma today stems from needing to find a healthy balance between overly cautious planning and acting recklessly. Thankfully, your organizational skills are operating efficiently today, enabling you to handle a lot of information. Nevertheless, pay attention to the practical constraints on your time and energy. You can be a star if you practice some self-discipline before you’re overcommitted.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your approach to others can be very outgoing today, yet you would prefer to show more self-restraint. But the Moon in your sign could make you overly talkative, especially with perceptive Mercury in the spotlight. Don’t squander your mental resources; using words sparingly will give them extra impact. Remember, rambling on endlessly about your latest idea is not the best way to accomplish your goals. Do more and say less.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are clear about your current responsibilities, but you don’t necessarily want to follow through on them. Part of your problem now is that you might think everything should be easier than it really is. Believing that you’ll magically find a shortcut through the hard work could lead you to waste time looking for a quick fix. Conserve your energy for doing what’s actually necessary to get to the finish line.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Stay away from philosophical or political debates today because you could actually be arguing with yourself, and not with anyone else. At times it might even be difficult to tell which side you’re on. However, you’re not really flip-flopping on the issues; it’s just that you can see multiple solutions that are sensible. Nevertheless, it’s better now to wait before committing to any one position.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You have a lot to do today because busy Mercury activates your key planet Jupiter in your 6th House of Work. Although it’s crucial to make positive changes in your daily routine, it’s not helpful to turn your whole world upside down. It can be tricky because it’s so easy for you to be distracted now by almost anything. Keep in mind that managing what’s on your plate currently is more important than dreaming about the future.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re often the champion of organization and planning because you can maintain a healthy perspective under pressure. Typically, you are able to calculate what needs to be done to achieve your goals. Today, however, your reality filter may be a bit off as everything seems to have greater potential than it actually does, so it’s wise to avoid making impulsive decisions. Thankfully, a bit of consideration goes a long way, so think twice and give your answer once, after your common sense returns.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You could set up a friend for disappointment today if you don’t establish limits on how much you’re willing to help. Your mind is racing and you’re tempted to agree to nearly anything just to quiet your worry. Unfortunately, this kind of logic won’t really solve the problem. Instead of taking the easy way out and then being unable to fulfill your promises, say what you’re truly feeling. The real answers now won’t likely be rational because they will come from your heart.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your schedule may be overbooked today and this might turn into a real problem. Only one appointment needs to run late and your whole day could fall apart. Instead of setting yourself up for a disaster, take a more flexible approach. Something as simple as leaving extra time between events may be enough to prevent a major mess later on.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, July 3rd

We may feel as if a weight has been lifted from our shoulders now that the heavy Sun-Saturn square is beginning to wane. Nevertheless, unfulfilled responsibilities can nag at us until we live up to our commitments. Positive aspects from the playful Leo Moon can add to the upbeat energy of the day. However, we might be very distracted because this is the last day of attractive Venus’ visit to curious Gemini before she slips into emotional Cancer.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may feel lucky today and appear capable of turning nearly any situation into a good time. You don’t even have to do anything special; just showing up seems to make others smile. The biggest danger now can come from being overconfident since your positive attitude is not able to cure everything. Acknowledging your limitations upfront can prevent that embarrassing moment when you might have to admit that you’re really human, after all.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You prefer to keep your life simple yet you don’t want to give up on your long-term goals. Unfortunately, you could exhaust yourself attempting to resolve your conflict about which path you should be following. You really don’t like being pulled simultaneously in different directions, because it makes it tough to go along with the flow. Standing back from your dilemma enables you to find a solution.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

There is an uneasy dynamic between your anticipation of what’s next and your desire to hold on to the past. You could be moving faster than ever, but still cannot keep up with all the changes in your life. Nonetheless, even if you’re a bit overwhelmed, you might be okay with the uncertainty. Retreating from your hectic schedule is a wise strategy; you’ll be more effective if you wait a few days before pushing your agenda ahead again.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be experiencing the proverbial calm before the storm today, yet your fear of what could happen next might be more ominous than anything happening in your immediate future. This weekend can be a turning point, and your recent efforts should finally start to bear fruit. Be practical and prepare for the next round of change that is on the horizon.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your life becomes more complicated because you’re able to see the truth today, even if someone is trying to hide it from you. Your intuition makes it nearly impossible for you to be involved in superficial interactions now. You’re not interested in what others think of your ideas; they aren’t up for negotiation. But there’s no need to act self-righteously since it’s easier to get along with your friends if you acknowledge that there are many ways to look at a situation.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Acting brilliantly may be a lot simpler than you think today. Even if you can feel the pressure, there’s no need to jump through hoops to demonstrate your reliability. All you’re required to do now is to show up with your common sense intact. Let your intelligence shine through, but don’t try to solve every little problem that pops up.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Although you might not have reached your destination yet, you are, nonetheless, at the end of a road. Your current position is challenging because your sense of falling short may leave you feeling frustrated today. Thankfully, you can ease the tension by simply shifting your perspective. The emotional landscape has already started to change, yet there will be plenty of time to reach your goals once the path in front of you clears again.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You have run out of patience when it comes to anything that isn’t already on your radar today. However, you still might become distracted if something interesting catches your eye. You could be annoyed with yourself if you succumb to following your whim instead of your schedule. Paradoxically, if you keep yourself on track, you still might wonder what you missed. In the long run, it’s more important to keep moving forward than wasting time worrying about which route to choose.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The fiery Leo Moon increases your vitality today, but having more stamina doesn’t mean that you’re invincible. Although you might believe that you have an inexhaustible energy supply, it’s not smart to take on more than you should. Unfortunately, looking to others won’t produce the clarity you seek; you’ll have to make decisions about what you can and cannot do on your own. If you overextend now, you’ll likely run into problems next week. Save your strength for next week when you will need it.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Today you may be expected to manage a complex issue that involves a financial transaction, or you might just be feeling pressure from the lack of clarity in a business relationship. Either way, resolution will probably be delayed because you need more information. Nevertheless, you are enticed to make a decision before your time runs out. Don’t make an impulsive choice just because everyone thinks you should have already made up your mind. Wait until next week when you have more data at your disposal.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

A friend expresses feelings that catch you off guard, complicating your relationship more than you want. You prefer keeping everything casual and on a rational basis because the energy is simpler to handle. But you can’t go back to the way things were unless you take a path of denial. Unfortunately, avoiding issues only makes them more difficult to handle. You can try downplaying the drama, but actively engaging in a constructive dialogue should help to reduce the complexity.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s challenging to distinguish the separate threads of truth now, for they have already been woven with a believable blend of fact and fiction. This complex tapestry entangles your imagination if you overanalyze the situation. Be careful, for your false sense of accuracy can trick you into making a decision based on an incorrect assumption. Instead of forcing the issue, just appreciate the moment. It should be easier to sort yourself out in a few days.

New Moon Report for July 3 – Venus in Cancer

Venus in Cancer

Sunday, July 3, 9:17 pm PDT, Monday, July 4, 12:17 am EDT

Love’s leading planet grows tender and self-protective in cuddly Cancer. The urge to return to familiar sources of comfort is an understandable reaction to outside pressure and internal insecurities. However, during the next nine days, Venus will follow the Sun’s rocky road of tense connections with Uranus, Pluto and Saturn to shake up relationships and self-worth. Finances could prove tricky, requiring innovation and flexibility since standing still or retreating might be even more costly.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, July 2

The Sun in emotional Cancer is restrained today by a stressful square to stoic Saturn, requiring us to withhold our feelings. Ironically, chatty Mercury enters boisterous Leo, encouraging expressive communication. But Mercury aligns with spacey Neptune, indicating that our words may not tell the whole story. Additionally, the Moon’s shift into fiery Leo at 5:42 pm EDT motivates us to be outgoing, but playful actions might actually hide our fears.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Resentment can grow out of frustration if you can’t figure out how to bring strong feelings out into the open. Your regular channels of communication may be blocked today, leading you to internalize your unexpressed feelings. But your inability to say what’s on your mind has less to do with external circumstances than with your need to process a lesson that you have been trying to avoid. The obstacles won’t seem so overwhelming if you are willing to face the truth.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Now that your life seems to be moving in a positive direction again, you aren’t eager to have to slow down for any reason. Nevertheless, easing off the gas pedal is a smart idea because you could lose control if you’re taking the curves too fast. Although you might try to keep up with all your current projects, circumstances could dictate otherwise. Be wise and practice some self-discipline before things get out of hand.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You cannot waste energy and get away with it today because you are under pressure to get a lot accomplished and there’s very little margin for error. You don’t have much of a choice; you must pay attention to taskmaster Saturn as it gives you a stern reality check. However, just listening to the message is not enough. Narrow your concentration so you can focus on the most critical matters first.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may retreat from a social situation today because someone hurts your feelings, even if it’s unintentional. You could take a setback so seriously that you just want to stay home and be by yourself. However, withdrawing is not the most intelligent strategy now. Instead of concentrating on your disappointment, figure out how to improve your productivity. If you are accomplishing what you set out to do, you’re less likely to have time to be bothered by the inconsiderate actions of others.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you may be the first one to say you want to have fun, it’s not that easy to set aside your responsibilities in favor of pleasure. Usually, you can easily discuss the alternative plans before determining the best way to handle the current temptations. However, your tendency is to keep your misgivings secret today. Push up against your resistance and take a risk. Others won’t judge you so quickly if you share what’s on your mind with them.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are determined to maintain your integrity now by doing exactly what you promise, but distractions and obstructions continue to alter your course. You may be excited to head in an unknown direction, but you are on a mission and every setback brings more frustration. You can gain a lot of strength by staying on your spiritual path, rather than wandering around aimlessly. Remember, you cannot reach your destination if you stop to explore every alternative along the way.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s not apparent where so much resistance is coming from now, but you could bump into stone walls no matter which way you turn. Even your friends that are normally helpful seem to be blocking your way today. Thankfully, you have a secret weapon that you can use to your advantage: your ability to wait. Patience, combined with unflappable determination, is your ticket through this difficult obstacle course.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are following a path that you have been down before. However, you discover that even paved highways have fallen into decay and are difficult to traverse. No matter that you were previously moving along smoothly, now every step is a small victory and you need to work hard to gain more ground. Today’s progress may feel good but will probably leave you exhausted. Don’t take on too much; it’s better to do one job well than to do several things haphazardly.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You do what you can to put your best foot forward, even in light of discouraging news today. It isn’t easy to overcome a setback just by changing your mind. There are other concerns about the people you love and your role in the community. You have a lot to think about now, but rest assured your perspective will be better tomorrow. Allow a couple of days for things to turn around before reassessing the situation.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your somber attitude may be misinterpreted today as incurable pessimism; however, you don’t feel as negative as you appear. You understand exactly what’s required to reach your goals and are willing to do whatever you must to deliver on your promises. However, others may express their doubts now, but don’t let them talk you out of your beliefs. Approach the future with a realistic outlook to prevent unnecessary disappointment later on.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The connection between your current inability to express yourself freely and others holding you back might be more challenging than you think. In fact, your creativity may be squelched by Saturn’s square to the Sun. Be careful; don’t jump to conclusions today or you could waste a lot of energy incorrectly blaming others for your dilemma. Taking total responsibility for your own actions is a healthy place to start.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It doesn’t feel good if a friend suddenly withdraws his or her support today. The cold shoulder you are receiving doesn’t seem to be an appropriate response to your hard work, leaving you feeling angry and confused. Don’t waste time or energy complaining; instead, take the high road and finish what you started. The more you stay focused now, the easier it will be next week when the challenging Sun-Saturn alignment begins to fade.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 1

The nurturing Cancer New Moon at 4:53 am EDT is a Solar Eclipse, marking a powerful turning point in our relationships. The eclipse’s stressful aspects to radical Uranus, karmic Saturn and intense Pluto raise the stakes in every emotional interaction. We may feel as if we’re being bounced around in stormy seas, yet our flexibility helps us conserve our energy for later. Patience may be our best strategy when responding to these strong currents.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The resistance you face can stop you in your tracks today, but it’s crucial that you don’t give up on a good idea. If you initially miss the lesson you’re being taught, slow down and listen carefully to what’s being said. The obstacles are more easily handled once you accept that they are there for a reason. Ironically, it’s less important to reach your destination now than it is to fine-tune your plans.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you probably have a very busy day ahead of you, it still may be hard to get going. Even after you begin your day’s work, you’re tempted to get by with doing less. But your energy builds and you’ll be ready to overcome anything that stands in your path once you find your pace. Just remember that you’re not the only one with an ambitious agenda. Getting the facts from another point of view can change your perspective and increase your options.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s tempting to waste the day running around in circles just trying to keep up with everything. But you may not get anywhere unless you’re willing to take some time for contemplation today. Be careful, for your current strategy should not be thought of as a retreat. You must stabilize the progress you already made because you could jeopardize your success if you continue to move too fast. Remember, reaching your goals is more like running a marathon than a sprint.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Today’s Solar Eclipse can be a harbinger of an energetic shift within your family. You could bury your head in the sand and be totally surprised by what happens, or you can co-create your future by living the change you seek. Start by sitting down and writing a list of resolutions, as if it is New Year’s Day. Focusing your intentions during the eclipse plants significant seeds of thought in your fertile imagination.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Today’s Solar Eclipse falls in your 12th House of Endings, revealing an unusual blending of two cycles, since the New Moon is like a fresh start. But beginning something new prior to completing old business can be problematic. Allow the current process to play out naturally or you might miss your chance. Your best bet is to stay aware of the interrelationship between what you are finishing and what you want to do next.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may feel isolated today as the moody Cancer Eclipse shakes your 11th House of Community. At first, people that you usually count on are not as accessible as you wish. Fortunately, your true friends will come through just in time with the support that you need. Don’t draw the wrong conclusions prematurely; give others the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming the worst.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You feel the pressure to make a career move today as the Solar Eclipse activates your professional 10th house. But a minor family crisis may add stress to your day, especially if you’re already not seeing eye to eye with another family member. You might not be happy about how someone tries to control the situation now, but you should heed the smart advice, rather than throwing out an idea just because it makes you uncomfortable.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

This caring New Moon Eclipse in softhearted Cancer helps you build emotional continuity, although it may come with a component of drama. You may be happy to know who you are and where you are heading. But your perspective can be so intense that you feel as if you must stand up for your beliefs. You need to tread extra carefully now, for you could inadvertently provoke a conflict by resorting to aggressive behavior. Try channeling your passion into physical activities instead.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might be a bit uncertain as today’s Solar Eclipse evokes a sense of discomfort by pushing you to explore feelings that you would rather forget. Don’t belittle a friend’s melodrama by judging it as unimportant just so you don’t have to get involved. Your willingness to partake in a meaningful dialogue may be just what’s needed to take a relationship to a new level of intimacy.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

An overly emotional interaction with a friend or partner today reveals that he or she has more going on now than you previously thought. You can tell that there’s a suppressed power issue in the background, but you don’t know what to do about the imbalance. If you confront it head-on, you could make matters worse. But if you let it slide, you may end up contributing to the weird energy. The conversation might be awkward at first, but if you can talk about your uneasiness without blaming anyone else you will be able to make a positive difference.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You don’t think that you’re harboring any resentments about your job, but it’s still not easy to let go of an unresolved hurt. Fortunately, you have a pretty good grasp of the source of your current negativity and it’s up to you now to clear the air. Be open to receiving helpful support from those who love you. Leaning on your friends and family gives you the strength to process your feelings and get on with the real work at hand.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You can finally stand firmly on the ground again after an extended period of uncertainty. But things are not as they seem and your foundation might not be as strong as you once thought. Don’t get hooked into overcompensating today; there’s really no good reason to flaunt your confidence. Nothing is gained by setting up a competitive dynamic where others are threatened by your success. Softening your stance now helps to relieve tensions and bring harmony back into your relationships.

New Moon Report for July 1 – Mercury in Leo

Mercury in Leo

Friday, July 1, 10:38 pm PDT, Saturday, July 2, 1:38 am EDT

The communication planet is enriched with greater creativity and boldness now. Self-expression grows more dramatic, sometimes to effectively make a valid point or grandstand with immature insecurity. The potential for original thought grows when we take our ideas seriously, but take ourselves lightly. This way the focus is on the expressive and entertaining sides of Leo, rather than on the need to inflate our egos.
