Horoscopes
Aries
Today is potentially excellent for sorting out key areas of your life, dear Aries. You might receive clarity or confirmation of a matter now, putting an end to recent “up in the air” energy, and improving your general outlook and attitude. This, in turn, can inspire you to invest more of yourself in self-improvement efforts. Efforts to organize or clarify creative, educational, or travel plans can be worthwhile now. You might find a good reason now to rely upon a romantic relationship or a relationship with a child might improve with a promise, support, or increased structure and commitment. It’s also an active time for fleshing out a project or hobby with details, or for putting extra effort into a hobby. You want to see tangible results for your efforts, and you may experience a stronger desire to create something meaningful and useful. It’s a good day for credibility. Additionally, if you are in the position to self-publish, publish, or promote, this is a favorable time for doing so. You can find it easier than usual to focus on real priorities.
Taurus
Today can be excellent for finding ways to improve your family and home life, or your relationship with yourself and your inner world, dear Taurus. This can be literal or figuratively speaking — or both! Plans to organize your home environment may be drawn up or considered now. The upcoming weeks bring increased focus on domestic matters, and it makes sense to think up ways to smooth out and boost your personal life now. You may come into the resources or support to do so. Conversations with or about loved ones can be constructive, and researching information you need can be useful. Financial planning is favored. The Moon moves out of your sign early in the day, and this is another indicator of a stronger focus on the practical or material side of things — you want results! Clarity or confirmation can come to your personal or private life now, and support or sound advice can leave you feeling more secure and emotionally together.
Gemini
The Moon moves into your sign, dear Gemini, kindling your emotions and encouraging you to connect more meaningfully to the world around you. While this is an influence that typically encourages spontaneity, your planetary ruler hooks up with Saturn today, stimulating the need for increased clarity and structure in your life. While it may not be the most colorful of times, this transit can come as a relief as you find ways to turn a vision into a reality, or you see a situation more clearly. Making plans and dealing with details are favored today. It’s also a fine time for having that important conversation, making a pledge, setting the record straight, and sharing advice. Someone may come through for you or bring clarity to a previously uncertain situation. Alternatively, you are thinking especially clearly about a relationship and your relationship needs.
Cancer
Today’s energies encourage an especially grounded, reasonable approach to the world, and especially your resources, work, and practical affairs, dear Cancer. While it may not sound exhilarating, it can come as a sweet relief, whether you receive news that clarifies a previously uncertain situation or you draw up plans to improve your life in fundamental ways. You have a stronger sense that the effort you put into a project will benefit you down the road, and you have the foresight to consider “future you” and your long-term security. You could receive word or confirmation about a matter, and this clarity motivates you to improve your practical affairs or business. Refinements, details, and edits are in focus, mainly related to money-making ideas, business, income, health, and work. You are realistic in your thinking, if a tad conservative, and you can envision what needs to be done to get yourself on track.
Leo
Talking or writing about your personal plans can help you clarify your goals today, dear Leo. When ideas see the light of the day in this way, you can be a better judge of them in real terms. Mercury in your sign harmonizes with Saturn, encouraging you to consider practical details. The information you stumble upon now — through conversation or research — can be especially useful in this quest for clarity. You crave a little more organization, structure, direction, and purpose, and these things are likely to come today, even in small ways. Your credibility is particularly excellent — others take note of what you say and any advice you may give. People are drawn to you for your maturity, wisdom, and realism today. While you tend to take the lead in discussions these days, others may have some handy input for you right now.
Virgo
Today brings useful — and timely — information that clarifies a matter for you, dear Virgo, motivating you to invest more of your energy into improving your life. Conversations with loved ones or family can be constructive, and through them, a bit of research or your own eyes today, you may even gain some clarity about the past. While the Moon has climbed to the top of your solar chart and the world demands something from you, circumstances today also encourage you to look within for answers. Mapping or planning out a project or a strategy can be very useful now — you are not content to simply play with ideas, you want an end game, goal, and results. Your advice and support of others can be useful. Decision-making about home and family issues can be particularly successful. With a theme of rest and reflection fast approaching in your life, this is a great time to plan a retreat or something less formal but just as useful for refreshing and reclaiming personal energy.
Libra
The Moon’s move into your adventure sector early today encourages you to think about the bigger picture, dear Libra, but a Mercury-Saturn influence wants you to pay attention to what’s realistic. You may be inspired to improve your life through a friend or news you hear today. Your expert opinion may be sought, or you are simply expressing yourself with more credibility and people are taking your word for it. People trust your opinion right now. You might focus on drawing up solid plans for the future, and your interests lie in what’s truly doable. You might decide to put your ideas in writing, make lists, map something out, and make plans or resolutions — all very successfully today! Helping out a friend, even if it’s through advice or providing them with information, can be in focus today.
Scorpio
There is a fabulous grounding energy to the day that helps keep you in the here and now today, dear Scorpio, and this is something you feel you need at the moment. You’ve had big ideas recently, and now you want to know what’s viable. Professional goals or plans can be in strong focus. You may be refining, adding details to, or organizing your ideas related to a business project. Activities taken on today are directed or purposeful, and you’re inclined to have particularly good judgment right now. Humbling yourself to consider advice from someone experienced in a matter can be beneficial. You’re in a good position to improve a relationship with a parent, teacher, boss, or associate. Use today to sort out your affairs and handle practical details. You are incredibly resourceful now.
Sagittarius
This is an excellent day for making plans and focusing on practical details, dear Sagittarius. Conversations are useful and tend to concentrate on what’s realistic and doable. It’s a good time for making solid plans to travel or pursue a course, or for spending time refining your work or brushing up on details. You might gain motivation through a communication or book to pursue a new project, idea, or plan. You have more clout or credibility than usual, making it a good time to do an interview, pitch an idea, or make your case. You can make serious strides in your studies today. The Moon spends the day in your partnership sector, and you tend to seek out some company.
Capricorn
This is an excellent day for bringing form to your dreams, ideas, and plans, dear Capricorn. The Moon spends the day in your detail-oriented solar sixth house, and Mercury forms a trine to Saturn, stimulating stronger reliance on common sense and a real taste for knowing what’s workable and doable. If you need support, this can be a good time to get it. You may be paying off debt, whether this is material or spiritual in nature, and feeling good about doing so. This is also a favorable time for investigating or researching a matter more thoroughly. Common sense leads you to the information you need. You see details you might overlook on a regular day. Objective conclusions might be drawn today. Some level of solitude may be appropriate now so that you can finish up a project.
Aquarius
This is a potentially important and fruitful day for collaboration, strengthening of ties with a friend or group, and clarifying goals in a relationship, dear Aquarius. You’re interested in making things work and what’s realistic right now. Negotiations not only turn out well, but they also bring you to a better, clearer, more empowered place. Problems can be tackled with common sense — the key right now is to share the load. Talks with friends or a partner can be very fruitful now, even if they are not necessarily imaginative or colorful. People are looking for clarity now, making it a great time to focus on details and realistic possibilities. A conversation with someone can be a source of comfort, security, or good advice. Unclear situations in recent days may now make more sense.
Pisces
While you may be feeling inspired by recent events and conclusions, you may not have much to go on, dear Pisces, but today is excellent for filling in the blanks. You might benefit from getting your daily life and routines organized now. Drawing up and talking about plans on the lines of work, long-term goals, your personal environment, and health can be beneficial for moving towards a better lifestyle or simply a stronger sense that you’re in control of your life in fundamental ways. This is a wonderful time for getting on track. Alternatively, you may be strengthening a work project or performing a service for someone now. Your eye for detail today can benefit your career or boost your reputation. A partner may have encouraging, supportive words or a conversation can get you to a place of feeling on top of things. Efforts to collaborate can be very fruitful, even if conversations are not especially colorful at the moment! The focus now is on making things work in the real world. In fact, this is a theme that’s gaining more power in your life in the weeks ahead.

Agile, versatile, inquisitive, flowing, conversational, airy, many ideas. Can be volatile, superficial, changeable, restless and inconsistent.

EARTH WEAK
There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.
BALANCE OF MODES
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on July 19th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected–or will perfect–in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving the Moon is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).

You need to develop your own value system and develop compassion for yourself and other people.
