Horoscopes
Aries
There can be a strong desire to get on top of your work or responsibilities today, dear Aries, but it may be a little difficult to go full speed ahead. If you haven’t been tending to your needs for rest and/or if you’ve been pushing yourself too hard, particularly around the home or in your personal life, you may suffer from a temporary loss of self-motivation or drive. This energy drain can make you a tad more susceptible to illness, so be sure to tend to your needs. When you’re acting from a place of confidence or from your heart, being impulsive might take you good places. However, if insecurity is driving it, you might take a wrong turn.
Taurus
Watch today for a tendency to take little things too personally, dear Taurus. and for overindulgence, dear Taurus. While you’re likely to be pulled in many directions today, you’ll be better off if you can take some extra time for breaks. While it’s important not to skim the surface now, don’t push yourself too hard either. Be sure that if you’re going to commit to something, however, that the desire is truly there. Conversations with family can be helpful for resolving worries. A Full Moon will occur tomorrow morning, and something may be building to a head, whether it’s emotions on a matter, likely to do with work or responsibilities, or an actual project that is ready to be released.
Gemini
Your feelings can easily be hurt today, dear Gemini. Disagreements about money or sharing tasks can sometimes mask deeper problems, and may really boil down to whether or not others are valuing and respecting you. Watch for over-spending and overindulgence in general today, as there is some tendency to latch onto impractical ideas or ventures. A full Moon will occur tomorrow morning, and emotions are building on romantic or creative lines. If you’ve been ignoring your feelings, you’re likely to feel them with sudden force tonight and tomorrow.
Cancer
You might be in a hard-to-please mood at times today, dear Cancer, simply because you are not sure what it is that will sate you. You might also feel that you need to go everything alone, but you should accept help if it comes your way. If you’ve been pushing yourself too hard, you’re likely to feel the energy drain now, and you might feel very good softening the tension. If you don’t listen to your body’s signals to slow down, you could be feeling vaguely under the weather or especially sensitive. Focus on health, balance, and spirit now for best results.
Leo
While there can be a strong and even consuming desire to throw yourself into work or projects today, dear Leo, you may not be able to find enough energy to back it up. If you’re feeling drained, it’s important to think about what you’re taking in, and this can be about food and drink, but also about your thoughts and people you’re connecting with. Focusing on improving the quality of these things can go a long way towards improved vitality all around. A Full Moon occurs tomorrow morning, and a revelation or epiphany may be brewing, likely revolving around a close relationship.
Virgo
There can be tricky issues with friends and boundaries today, dear Virgo. You could be feeling especially sensitive to others’ remarks, comments, and reactions. This is a good time for considering where there are energy leaks and drains in your life, particularly as it relates to your networking activities and friendships. If you’ve been mismanaging your energy, or taking in too much negativity from people around you, then you may be feeling this more strongly today. Consider ways to improve the quality of your energy, and this starts with examining what you’re consuming, not only physically, but also mentally, psychically, and emotionally. A Full Moon will occur tomorrow morning, and there can be something building about health, routines, and work.
Libra
This is not a strong time for gaining clarity, dear Libra, but with a Full Moon occurring tomorrow morning, it’s coming soon. A partner may be elusive, confusing or distant today, and work may not be especially straightforward either. Keep positive, not allowing others’ inconsistencies drain you of your own energy. If you’ve been pushing yourself too hard towards your goals, now is the time to take a break, if only to return to your pursuits with renewed energy and perhaps slightly improved plans. Helpful influences can come through friends or networking today.
Scorpio
You may be doing some serious “spring cleaning” of your psyche these days, dear Scorpio. Getting rid of outdated attachments, and examining and discarding irrational fears, is not only necessary for further growth and development, it will ultimately be a huge relief. Do your best not to dwell on guilt for what you haven’t done in the past. Detach yourself from these things as much as possible and focus on the changes you need to make. The Full Moon that will occur tomorrow morning can pull your attention to your personal or domestic life, particularly if you’ve been focusing too much on the outside world.
Sagittarius
Try not to let hypersensitivity rule the day, dear Sagittarius. What you can feel are slights from others may not be that way at all. If you’re feeling out of balance, it may be that you are not paying enough attention to where you may be losing energy. These “leaks” can take the form of connecting with too many thoughts, people, or forums that are negative and otherwise draining, or they can be as straightforward as not eating or sleeping well. This is a good time for identifying unhealthy patterns that are affecting your general well-being. A Full Moon occurs tomorrow morning, and an important learning project could reach a turning point or interesting news may arrive.
Capricorn
Concentrate on improving your life rather than bemoaning any apparent lack of support today, dear Capricorn. This is a time when it may become obvious where you’ve been pushing too hard, particularly related to a relationship, but for some, this can also be about a project. Find a better balance by taking steps to avoid overtaxing yourself, both physically and mentally, and then working on plugging any energy leaks, which can take the form of people or projects that you’ve been worrying about excessively. A Full Moon will occur tomorrow morning, and is set to bring strong awareness of a matter that has been building, particularly related to finances.
Aquarius
You could feel a little scattered today, dear Aquarius, and possibly pulled in too many directions. It may be that distractions are more plentiful or that you are more sensitive to them. If you’ve been pushing your body and/or psyche too hard recently, you are likely to feel the drain today. It’s time to be kinder to yourself. Prioritize and simplify should be your main goals now. The Moon enters your sign this afternoon, and builds to Full tomorrow morning, and these influences pull up previously buried or unacknowledged emotions.
Pisces
This morning, don’t skim the surface of things, dear Pisces. You might benefit from digging a little deeper, particularly where it concerns a friend or associate. There is good energy for work and routine matters, but your social life may be a little tricky. You could be swinging from thinking someone is the cat’s meow to questioning loyalties. There can be some uncertainty, but if you’re feeling overly sensitive, then it may be a signal that you need an escape, break, or rest. Seek out people, projects, and ideas that feed your spirit rather than drain you of energy.
*Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.

LEO STRONG
Self-confident, generous, warm-hearted, powerful leader, dramatic. Can be overly proud, vain, extravagant, arrogant.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS

Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS
Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on July 30th:
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).
