Horoscopes
Aries
Your attention continues to be on home, family, and domestic matters for a little while longer, dear Aries, but today you are likely to feel as if the pace is letting up and you can more easily tend to one thing at a time. For some of you, there can be good news or circumstances that help you to feel more secure and supported today and tomorrow. You may be seeking reassurance in a relationship. This can be a good time to focus on organizing finances or home life in some significant way, to put nagging or outstanding matters to rest, and to tie up some important loose ends.
Taurus
Conversations can be wonderfully constructive today, dear Taurus, particularly when they are one on one. ‘A problem shared is a problem halved’ applies today. You can come to some truly helpful conclusions or come across great advice. People may be there when you need them. While relationship problems can seem a little clearer, so can solutions. Sorting and organizing efforts can go a long way today, as you’re in a much better position to see your true priorities. Be sure to take care of work that you have left unfinished.
Gemini
Today and tomorrow are very strong for taking care of your responsibilities, sorting and organizing, editing and tweaking, and tidying your life in important ways, dear Gemini. It’s easier to see what needs doing, and you can be more focused than usual, finding it easier to concentrate on your priorities. Projects that are realistic or that have modest goals can begin now, or you could be focusing on studies or plans that are already underway with success now. This is a strong time for handling problems that, when put behind you, alleviate pressures and stress that come from guilt and worry.
Cancer
The Sun in your sign harmonizes with Saturn today, dear Cancer, and this points to increased self-discipline as well as respect from others. There is competence in the vibes you’re giving off now, and people are seeing your more reliable qualities. This is a good time for discipline involving creative work and hobbies, or there can be a steady quality or a feeling of being on top of things associated with a romantic relationship. You are a little more humble to the lessons of life now, and this gives you more maturity and better judgment for handling problems or taking control of important areas of your life.
Leo
This is a good day for discovering ways to make you feel stronger from the inside out, dear Leo. Seek out activities that help you to feel secure and rooted, or otherwise “in the moment”. Some of you could find support from behind the scenes, and you may be feeling especially on top of recent family or home-related challenges. There can be benefits from some level of solitude today and tomorrow, particularly related to boosting self-confidence and insight. Even so, you can also benefit from support or advice from parents, family, authorities, or older people. You may find that more conservative approaches or traditional methods work best for you right now.
Virgo
Good advice can be exchanged this morning, dear Virgo. Working together with others as a team may yield the best results at the moment, and you can be the quiet leader. It’s a good time for earning respect naturally. Projects begun now have a good chance of longevity, mainly because your expectations are reasonable and you are paying special attention to practical details. You may feel especially in tune with the steadying energies of today and tomorrow. Focus now should be on simplifying and prioritizing. Organizing and editing activities are favored.
Libra
It’s a good day for practical matters, dear Libra. A matter that was left hanging can be resolved now. You’re in an especially reasonable frame of mind, and you’re not allowing small problems get to you. It’s a strong time for taking practical steps, even small and conservative ones, towards securing yourself, money, or business matters. There can be good advice or counsel now that benefits you in measurable ways. You are discovering your priorities, and you could very well find that your life improves from simplifying things. One step at a time works for you now! The Moon enters your sign today, and more emotional clarity is likely as well.
Scorpio
With Saturn in your sign in harmony with the Sun today and Mercury tomorrow, dear Scorpio, you can be a little withdrawn and serious, but working hard and positively. You feel stronger as you are more self-reliant. Activities that point to steady progress can benefit you now and build your confidence. You might also be firming up your beliefs, which tends to put you onto solid ground. Others tend to support you on core issues today and tomorrow. You are thinking in terms of the longer view, and this helps you to gain better perspective on your life. The Moon’s move into your privacy sector this morning points to a need for some time to yourself, and this can be emotionally healing.
Sagittarius
While seeing the big picture is always helpful, a bit of tunnel vision can give your endeavors a nice push forward, dear Sagittarius. It’s a good day for focusing on what it is you want, and working out the finer details that truly make things work well. There can be support or protective influences coming from unexpected places or from behind the scenes. It’s a good day for seeking out advice or doing your own research into problem areas. Priorities are a little clearer, and this gives you a stronger feeling of direction.
Capricorn
The day’s energies favor careful planning rather than spontaneous moves, dear Capricorn, and this suits you quite well. You are tuned in to and effectively using details, making it a strong time to work on editing, tweaking, and tidying. Be attentive and focused, and you will learn important information or make good progress on projects and even relationships that are important to you. Friends or a partner could be especially helpful today, and teamwork more successful than usual. People in your life may be more supportive of your goals, or integral in helping you to see your priorities. Some of you could be making important connections now, both personally and professionally.
Aquarius
The planets are in responsible moods today, dear Aquarius, making it a good time for tending to matters that truly matter! You are noticing the not so glamorous issues that are in need of special attention. You are more inclined to accept your responsibilities and you can feel stronger for taking them on. People in authority might recognize your competence now. This is a good time for establishing better habits and routines. Aim to simplify and determine your priorities, which are considerably easier to see today and tomorrow.
Pisces
You are especially credible right now, dear Pisces. Today and tomorrow are very strong for establishing yourself in some manner. Although you’re particularly self-reliant right now, others seem to be supportive, particularly when it comes to practical actions or shows of support. People may not be especially demonstrative in obvious ways today, but their actions tend to reveal their affection. This is a good time for work on creative projects and educational pursuits – you can make solid progress. There is more authenticity in your approach today, and others are appreciating you for it.

Description: Transiting Mercury Parallel Transiting Pallas
CANCER STRONG
Nurturing, protective, tenacious, emotional sensitive, watery, strong roots. Can be overly protective, unwilling to let go, timid, reclusive.
LIBRA STRONG
Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK
We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.
WATER STRONG
We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
FIXED WEAK

LUNAR PHASE: CRESCENT

This is an eager, impulsive, and progressive time. We are motivated and ready to take on challenges.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on July 21st:
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 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 life time).
