Horoscopes
Aries
The inner adventurer is stimulated today, dear Aries, but perhaps also the escapist. It can be a little difficult focusing on facts and figures, making it a better day for freeform activities than directed ones. Directing your energy constructively may not be easy, but if it’s not necessary either, then give yourself a break. More of something is not likely to make you happier, so it may be wise to try to make more of what you already have. Conversations can be vague or even guilt-ridden later today, particularly with or about a child, partner, or love interest.
Taurus
The Moon in your solar eighth house all day encourages you to go deeper when it comes to understanding yourself and recent events, dear Taurus. This is a time for lingering on your feelings instead of dismissing them or tucking them away. This is also a time for a wait-and-see approach to your world, as it’s not a good period for pushing quickly ahead. Later today, you may not feel thoroughly understood, particularly when it comes to a friend or a long-term goal/plan. You may be looking too hard for reassurance, when the answers are inside of you. Aim to have a little more faith in your own intuition.
Gemini
The Moon in your partnership sector today turns your attention to areas of your life that have come out of balance, dear Gemini, and you’re likely to feel a strong need to seek out more harmony. You may be more inclined to seek out a trusted friend or partner for company and support. Later today can be a little tricky when it comes to communications. It’s important to be very clear when speaking or writing, or to simply wait for a better time to express yourself if you are uncertain. Relax and reflect, and avoid taking yourself too seriously right now.
Cancer
The Moon is in your solar sixth house all day, dear Cancer. This influence can amp up your emotional sensitivity. You tend to notice the little problems in your life now, as you’re emotionally geared to see the holes and flaws. This can motivate you to take care of important matters, to fix problems, and to iron out differences. However, if you’re feeling a little off, you can be inclined to fret and worry unnecessarily. Your mind wanders later today, and distractions are likely. Avoid shopping for big ticket items now, as you may not be seeing things clearly. Do your best to relax and tame restlessness with healthy, happy activities rather than adding more to your already full plate.
Leo
The Moon spends the day in your creativity and self-expression sector, dear Leo, encouraging you to push a few limits creatively. You are up for a challenge, and your more spontaneous traits are stimulated. Later today, communicating effectively can be difficult. You could find that making a stand on a matter can somehow backfire, or that you second-guess your own perceptions. There can be bobbing and weaving now, so it may be better to wait for a better, more confident time to present your case. As well, avoid putting too much faith that others are getting where you’re coming from, as that may not be the case at the moment.
Virgo
There are a number of signs pointing to a need for extra rest and time to dream today, dear Virgo. The Moon spends the day in your home and family sector, and this pulls your focus to personal or domestic matters. It also subdues your more worldly ambitions. Mercury, your ruler, is in your privacy sector, and encourages you to look within for answers, and also stimulates your imagination. While you may be searching for meaning in hidden places, Mercury’s awkward aspect with Neptune later today suggests that you may not be seeing things clearly, or if you do, you may not have faith in your perceptions. Try not to over-analyze. The right answers come to you when you’re not pushing for them too hard.
Libra
The Moon spends the day in your communications sector, dear Libra, and this brings out the more curious part of your nature. While your ability to concentrate may suffer today, it’s a good time for seeking out new information and for making connections. Later today, you might come to an exciting idea or conclusion that, on further inspection, may not carry the weight of reality. Social interactions or issues can get in the way of your work, and vice versa. Distractions are plenty, or you are more sensitive to them. Worry about the opinion of others can be another way to waste time and energy today. Try to focus on things that make you happy and go from there.
Scorpio
Watch for procrastination or multi-tasking that takes you away from what is truly important today, dear Scorpio. It’s not the most organized of days so that if you’re in the position to focus or put things into order, then you may become a little frustrated. Take a breather if things are not coming together well, if possible. The Moon is in your solar second house, and you’re in need of more consistency as well as a sense of security. It’s a good time to remind yourself that you have what you need right now, and if you’re restless, to make more of what you already have.
Sagittarius
The Moon is in your sign all day, dear Sagittarius. You’re more open and less inhibited than usual, feeling a little freer and lighter. Your relationship to the world is enlivened, and you’re seeing things as more colorful. Of course, this can point to some possible moodiness, as you’re especially sensitive to the environment. You could become excited about what you see or discover later today, but then second-guess whether it was only a fantasy. It’s best not to rely on others’ answers right now. The general tendency to be in limbo is with you, but shouldn’t detract from the positive potential of the day.
Capricorn
Signs point to a greater need for rest, relaxation, and time to think and muse, dear Capricorn. The Moon spends the day in your privacy and soul sector, encouraging you to withdraw from overly chaotic or competitive activities and to tend to your more spiritual or emotional needs. Later today can be challenging for relating with others and being misunderstood. Focusing on specific tasks can be difficult as your mind tends to drift very quickly. Cut yourself some slack today, and make your biggest project yourself and your needs, if this is possible. If you’re not certain, it may be better not to express a definite opinion right now.
Aquarius
The Moon spends the day in your friends and idealism sector, dear Aquarius, and this position gives you a gentle morale boost. You’re more attracted to situations and people that truly make you feel good, and this tends to let in positive energy. While you could be seeking out clear answers or support from someone later today, you may have to settle with murky. A Mercury-Neptune aspect can serve to temporarily blur perceptions and can lead to some see-sawing or beating around the bush. Getting facts across clearly can be difficult. It may be best to let go of the need to come to definite conclusions just for the time being. Backing off from a problem can help let your intuition click in, leading to a better solution if you are patient enough to wait for it.
Pisces
The Moon spends the day in your performance sector, dear Pisces, and your attention turns to your responsibilities and ambitions. While you rarely enjoy being evaluated for what you do and don’t do, this monthly brief Moon serves as a reminder to get your priorities sorted and keeps you grounded. Later today, you can experience a strong desire to gather up facts and figures and sort something out logically, but you may also be feeling a strong competing energy that encourages you to let go of problems and consider the bigger picture. This can lead to some frustration unless you find ways to tend to both needs or to come to a compromise.

Self-confident, generous, warm-hearted, powerful leader, dramatic. Can be overly proud, vain, extravagant, arrogant.

Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.

LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on July 27th:
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).
