Horoscopes
Aries
The day can be very busy on a mental level, dear Aries, but is not necessarily a time when people are acting from the heart. You might also be living in the mind more than usual, and you can be quite communicative and/or thoughtful. The Moon enters your sign shortly after midday, and you might feel like doing something entirely new. You can suddenly feel the need for more movement and interaction after a couple of days of preferring to be in the background. There is a somewhat competitive edge to the energy of the latter part of the day, but aim to work with it instead of against it by allowing competition or criticism to motivate you to improve, for best results. If there are financial or business-related blocks, use these to make refinements to plans. While it can feel like a one step forward, two steps back kind of energy, you are likely gaining more than you realize.
Taurus
You might be thinking a lot today, dear Taurus, with money or personal possessions on your mind, as well as relationship matters. Even so, it’s best to weigh options rather than engage in major decision-making when it comes to these matters. Negotiations may not satisfy, as it can be difficult to reach genuine understandings. The Moon moves into your privacy sector shortly after noon, and this can turn your attention to behind the scenes. It can also bring on a stronger need for solitude or rest. Later today, there may be a concern that brings you down to reality or a minor but challenging predicament. With Mercury set to change signs as early as tomorrow afternoon, your interests are likely to change soon.
Gemini
You can feel a great need to communicate, think, and live in the head today, dear Gemini. However, you could end up spending too much time on matters that are moot or on things that will not be a concern for long. Work concerns, vague health complaints, or a difficult decision may be part of the latter part of the day. However, friends and networking efforts can be comforting and inviting. Avoid over-thinking now. Personal interests and concerns are likely to change tomorrow, with Mercury entering your solar second house and turning your attention to business, development, and matters of finances and security.
Cancer
There is a strong tendency to want to examine and make sense of matters from the past today, dear Cancer. If you haven’t finalized something, you could feel a little bit of pressure to do so now, but decisions shouldn’t be rushed. In fact, tomorrow your interests are likely to change, possibly dramatically. After spending an unusually long time in your privacy sector, Mercury will move into your sign tomorrow afternoon. You’ll begin to feel more confident about decisions and choices, you’ll be thinking in future, forward terms. Right now, focus on making adjustments rather than making bold moves. Avoid speaking too soon about something, as you may experience some remorse about it later on.
Leo
The first half of the day is likely quite busy, and is good for meeting people or gathering ideas or inspiration from friends or networking activities, dear Leo. The Moon moves into your adventure and learning sector shortly after midday, and it can feel easier to express yourself or to find fulfilment on an emotional level. Later today, you could be alerted to a need for improving or adjusting something you thought was already complete, or there could be vague disappointments or waning of motivation for something you’ve been working on/towards. Try not to overthink things. Concerns of today may dissolve away tomorrow.
Virgo
There can be some gains or good news experienced with career or with people in authority today, dear Virgo. However, later today there could be second thoughts that keep you from coming to a solid conclusion and might even nag at you enough to interfere with your enjoyment of the day, but only if you let them! Goals, ideas, decisions, and projects may suddenly feel overwhelming or could seem a little less “doable”. However, this is temporary, and you might simply need to change your plans or adjust time expectations. Don’t worry if something is stumping you – sometimes pausing gives you a chance to notice errors you may have overlooked otherwise.
Libra
There is strong mental energy with you today, dear Libra. You can feel quite hopeful about the future. You might be analyzing or weighing the pros and cons of taking a trip, learning something new, or taking a course. You can feel strongly about a particular belief or opinion, and feel compelled to speak up. Later today, there could be some concerns or worries, possibly as the realities of costs or time constraints make themselves known. Watch for speaking about a matter prematurely, especially publicly.
Scorpio
You could be quite thoughtful today, dear Scorpio, as you tend to go over recent events and analyze your feelings and relationships now. Conversations tend to be a little more detached now, as there is a tendency to live in our minds today. This can be helpful for addressing issues that we might typically not pursue, with a healthy level of objectivity. If thinking about things turns into ruminating, however, it may be better to let things go. There may be a situation later today that requires cutting your losses and moving forward, but fortunately, interests are likely to change tomorrow, and you can be feeling considerably more positive.
Sagittarius
There can be a strong tendency to think about, clarify, and talk about your relationships today, dear Sagittarius. This can also be experienced as a tendency for a partner to want to talk things through with you. There is more objectivity now, but not necessarily as strong a connection with our hearts as our minds, so keep that in mind. Your instincts to wait out a certain decision are apt to be correct later today. Even though you may feel confident, others around you seem to be resistant and wary of new ideas. You typically don’t have a problem going your own way, but you also know that if you wait, moving forward will be easier with others’ support.
Capricorn
There can be a lot of talk or thinking on matters of work and health today, dear Capricorn. It’s not especially easy to arrive at final conclusions or to achieve crystal clarity, so try not to overthink things, but do weigh pros and cons now. Interests are likely to shift tomorrow. The Moon moves into your sector of home and family shortly after midday, turning your attention to personal matters. Later today, communication may be blocked in some way, and you are less likely to share your ideas, possibly second-guessing them. Try to keep a healthy perspective. Sometimes you get so close to a situation that you worry far too much.
Aquarius
You may be thinking a lot about creative projects, children, or romantic relationships today, dear Aquarius, and you’re inclined to try to make sense of things, look for clear answers to problems, and entertain possibilities. You’re more inclined to think and process than follow your heart right now. Shortly after midday, the Moon moves into your communications zone, adding even more mental energy to the mix. Later today, however, it can be challenging satisfying your hunger for clear answers. Tomorrow, interests are likely to take a sharp turn, so don’t strain yourself with overthinking now.
Pisces
You are inclined to think a lot about an issue today, dear Pisces, but may not be any better off for it by the end of the day. It may be better to have a conversation in your head rather than in person first, then express yourself, if it’s still a good idea, once you have considered all the possibilities. There can be a lot of focus on home and family or personal matters now, although your focus is shifting now. Later today, a difference of opinion may be frustrating, but is probably not worth your time and effort to discuss.

Delays, uncertainty, or second-guessing ideas and decisions can slow us down. Adjustments or reassessments may need to be made now, particularly related to important and realistic details that need our attention. Communications may miss the mark.

Nurturing, protective, tenacious, emotional sensitive, watery, strong roots. Can be overly protective, unwilling to let go, timid, reclusive.

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

LUNAR PHASE: DISSEMINATING
Moon 135 to 90 degrees behind the Sun.
Sharing our knowledge with the world is a major motivation at this stage. We believe we have gained much knowledge and wisdom through our experiences, and want to ensure others have the benefit as well.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on July 7th:
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).
