Horoscopes
Aries
Resist the urge to broach sensitive topics this morning, Aries. If someone close to you is tense without apparent reason, try not to let it spoil your own mood. There is awkward, vaguely uncertain energy with us this morning, and we may not be representing ourselves fairly. The day’s energies turn around dramatically from midday forward. Ideas shared with friends or in group settings can be healing and helpful. There can be good word of mouth, interesting offers coming in, good reviews, and encouraging words exchanged. This is also a good time to feel a connection with someone special, and there can be a sense of growth and faith in a relationship.
Taurus
The morning brings rather sensitive energy, dear Taurus, making it difficult to make a solid decision or to round up others’ support. However, as the day advances, moods change, and we are more inclined to want to rise above pettier matters. You can make nice progress on a money-making or home-related idea/project now. You are looking at things in a broader, larger way, making this a nice time for bigger plans rather than details. You are inclined to want to share and discuss ideas with people close to you, and this can be a fruitful, positive thing. Instead of harping on the past, you’re inclined to look to the future as if it were fresh, which of course it is!
Gemini
This morning, it’s too easy to be taken aback by things that are said, dear Gemini, but as the day advances, this turns right around. In fact, from midday forward, you are likely to feel especially positive and confident, and you can talk your way through anything. You are generous with your time and energy. You are expressing yourself with more ease and a certain panache that attracts positive attention and possibly new opportunities for some of you. This is a good time for taking on new interests or studying a new topic, and for a learning breakthrough.
Cancer
This morning, it is important to avoid bringing up too sensitive topics, dear Cancer, unless of course you are prepared for an emotional time. We are more sensitive and undecided than usual this morning, as we may not know who to believe or what our next step should be. As the day advances, there is much stronger energy for hopefulness, and there can be a conversation or a purging of a private matter or a worry that comes as a relief. Your dreaming mind is active now. There may be dreaming mind are very rich and active right today. There can be breakthroughs today – what at first seems a problem can turn in your favor. A sudden memory may figure strongly and positively.
Leo
This morning, people around you can be more sensitive or undecided, dear Leo. There can be discomfort over a secret or a private matter, hurt feelings, and uncertainty. However, as the day advances, we are sharper mentally, and more resilient emotionally. New visions of your future motivate and inspire you. Problems are more easily resolved, and others tend to listen to what you have to say. The more likable qualities of your personality are emphasized today, and people are drawn to you. It’s easier to resolve differences now.
Virgo
There can be difficulty making solid decisions this morning, dear Virgo, as part of you wants to act independently, but you could be dependent on others’ input or waiting on things to happen and you feel stuck. However, as the day advances, your mind sharpens, clarity is with you, and your mood brightens. This is a good time for practical matters, such as business deals and plans, budgets, purchases, and so forth, but it’s also strong for creativity. The power of positive thinking makes anything seem possible right now. You are well-aspected for commercial activity, negotiation, and settling contracts, as long as you’ve done your homework. Sensitive or private topics can be handled with more ease than usual.
Libra
This morning can be vaguely uncertain, dear Libra, making it a poor time for new beginnings or ventures. Something said might offend you, but if you look at the bigger picture, you may be able to rise above it and shake it off. Later today, things do a one-eighty. You can find every reason to enjoy yourself, and you are especially sharp mentally now. Fogginess goes away, and decisions come more easily. There can be good news on the lines of education, travel, business income, or friendship. You have a good sense for future trends. There is happiness or helpful information to share now.
Scorpio
This morning’s energy is a little tricky, dear Scorpio, as we may want to strike out and do something different, but insecurities or uncertainty hold us back. Later today, things turn around, as more decisive, inclusive energy is with us. Mental energy is strong, and you can feel highly stimulated and motivated to do things that you may have let slide, or that you’ve been putting off. If you need to sort out financial support issues, it’s a good time to do so. Intimate conversations can also fare well now. Professional matters are positive and for some of you, glowing. The trick now is to keep an open mind.
Sagittarius
While there can be sensitivity to things said early in the day, as the day moves forward, good energy is with us for communications all around. You are willing to learn from others, and they from you, which increases clarity. People have a way of jumpstarting your own thinking processes so that regular one-on-one conversations can turn into something inspirational if only because they get your own creative juices flowing. You might re-invest what you learn now back into your friendships or partnerships. Today you might discover that a good listener is truly the best off in life! Open up lines of communication and explore new ways of expressing yourself. There is an easygoing way about how you express yourself now that is especially appealing.
Capricorn
In the first half of the day, dear Capricorn, you may feel that you’re walking on eggshells as people can be a little touchy or uncertain. However, as the day progresses, there is considerably more strength when it comes to decisions and courage to express ourselves. You can feel highly motivated to sort out problems and eliminate excess or inefficiency. You are also more optimistic than usual, and inclined to want to share your happiness with others! You can get much done now, and there is bound to be quite a bit of relief after uncluttering your mind and conscience. You are especially open to new insights and understanding, and you might also lend a sensitive ear to other people’s problems.
Aquarius
The morning can bring rather uncertain energy, dear Aquarius, as you may be on the fence about whether you want to do something independently or with others. However, from midday forward, we’re especially interested in what is possible and what can be done. Your conversations tend to flow well, and so do your thoughts – more organized but not to the point of limiting creativity. There is a nice flow to this time, particularly when you’re in one-on-one situations. You may be motivated to express yourself through creative mediums. You are certainly recognizing a need for more creative and expressive outlets, and today, you may very well be steered in the right direction(s). A rewarding conversation can emerge now.
Pisces
This morning, people may be less decisive than usual, preferring to keep to the familiar and having a difficult time breaking out on their own paths, dear Pisces. It’s better to either speak with more sensitivity or to avoid sensitive topics altogether. You might very much enjoy handling work and household details in the second half of the day, and you could come up with some great ideas about either of these matters. Health can also be a focus and an area for problem solving or fresh, new thinking. Co-workers, family, or other people who share your day can be more cooperative, and this helps you to feel better about what you’re doing.

LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON

We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships and are made aware of recent imbalances. Something can come to fruition. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on July 3rd:
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 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).
