Horoscopes
Aries
Focus is on your close personal relationships today, dear Aries, and they are likely to be quite pleasing and appealing. There is a lot of warmth and a nice air of acceptance in the energies of the day. You can feel especially protected by, and protective of, loved ones, and this can improve your bond. If you need to repair or refresh relations with family, this is a good time for doing so, although it’s more likely that actions will get the message across better than words for the time being. Your powers of attraction are strong today – don’t pursue…let them come to you! This is also a good time for improving relationships with co-workers or for doing an especially good job and feeling great about your accomplishments. Generosity and openness are favored now, both personally and professionally.
Taurus
This is a strong time for de-stressing through creative expression or immersing yourself in a hobby, the arts, or other forms of dramatic entertainment, dear Taurus. Your personal appeal jumps up a few notches today — you are coming across smoothly! Making social connections and sharing your ideas comes naturally right now, and learning, absorbing, or studying also fare well. Taking responsibility for your own entertainment will actually attract positive attention and fun from outside sources. Give what you would like to receive, but don’t expect returns, either. Creatively speaking, you are in good form right now. Romantic life can improve with conversation and nice, thoughtful gestures.
Gemini
Today is good for money news, good buys, and family fun or enjoyment, dear Gemini. If you need to win a family member’s favor, this is a good time to do so. You may be receiving gifts, or others seem to be especially generous with you — even doting. Domestic security, support, and stability can be important priorities. You may be going out of your way to make sure that people you love are feeling content, protected, and wanted. You might experience a sense of improvement in your most intimate relationships. The Moon enters your sign this morning, bringing recently unacknowledged emotions to the surface. There can be supportive people and/or channels for expressing these feelings.
Cancer
You may be receiving compliments, gifts, and other positive attention today, dear Cancer, with Venus in your sign in positive aspect with lucky, generous Jupiter. Your attractiveness is enhanced, and part of the reason for this involves positive communications and extra attention to pleasantries. There is a wonderful natural confidence and contentment in you that attracts admirers, and possibly positive circumstances and opportunities into your life as well. It’s a time for giving and receiving cooperation, when your natural talents are a little more obvious and attractive, as well as a pronounced need for relaxation or entertainment. The extra dose of love and acceptance coming your way can be used to settle differences with others, or simply to enhance relationships that are running just fine. Do something truly enjoyable now.
Leo
Your personal appeal is enhanced with a conciliatory approach to others today, dear Leo. You may be supporting someone anonymously or simply from behind the scenes, making willing sacrifices, and feeling good for helping out. People can be quite generous with you today, as well. Your mood is loving and helpful, and your values are quite altruistic, as you are more concerned with contributing than scoring gains. Business matters can also thrive today, as there is a natural flow to your plans and an easy, accepting manner about recent difficult or confusing happenings. Even so, the Moon’s move from your professional sector to your friendship zone this morning brings a shift of focus away from material and towards social needs and goals.
Virgo
Friendships can be especially rewarding today, dear Virgo. Someone can be very gracious and generous with you. Today is wonderful for private, intimate activities and discoveries. Healing, warm energy is with you. It’s also strong for optimism and a feeling of contentment. There could be opportunities for monetary or social advancement, and you could be quite popular now. With Jupiter in your sign, you can feel quite content with yourself, and this is the key to opportunities. In this way, improvements come as a result of happiness with yourself, and are not the end goal. When improvements are the end goal, you are essentially rejecting who you are now, which can invite a belief that you’ve failed. While Jupiter continues to transit your sign for another two months, truly understand this concept so that you can carry its lessons forth with you into your next stage of development. Learn to love and accept who you are, and quiet the inner voices that may be telling you that you’re not good enough.
Libra
Today is good for support from behind the scenes and drawing upon your intuition for business and financial matters, dear Libra. There is a stronger need for some level of privacy today, not because you are fed up, but rather because you have a lot to think about. Even so, it’s a potentially privileged time for relating in healthy, inspiring ways. There can be interactions that reinforce your feelings of security and faith. Public image and professional endeavors can be quite favorable right now. Others tend to put their faith in you today, and you are motivated to reinforce their positive opinion of you. Tending to money matters should be successful, although there is a small tendency to splurge. The Moon’s transit of your solar ninth house from the morning forward also helps lift your focus above daily worries and concerns.
Scorpio
You’re in a friendly mood today, dear Scorpio, and keeping it light with others is important right now. There is a jovial quality to your interactions, and some tendency for friends to philosophize with you in enjoyable and perhaps inspiring ways. Relationships may get a boost as well — it’s a generally warm, open time for personal interactions. Friendships benefit from sharing of ideas, ideals, and encouragement, while partnerships can thrive through attentiveness and listening skills. You have more courage to express your feelings, and you are in the mood for some romantic excitement and adventure now. It’s also a good time to enjoy cultural or social events, trips, and educational entertainment. Even so, there is some tendency towards introspection and observation with the Moon’s move into your intimacy sector this morning.
Sagittarius
Today should be good for both personal and professional appeal, dear Sagittarius. It’s a strong day in which to inspire faith in your interactions, as well as for coming to peaceful agreements about money with a partner, ex-partner, creditor, or debtor. You can be a little too hungry for drama and excitement today, however, but if kept in check, this is a good time for pleasant rapport with others. There is a tendency to want to share extra time with people you love, and an inclination to enjoy especially pleasurable and possibly decadent activities. Even so, energy you invest in your work will return on itself, generating greater motivation and desire to work, so be sure to take advantage by directing your attention to projects that mean a lot to you.
Capricorn
Today is strong for partnering in general, dear Capricorn, as there is a spirit of happiness, graciousness, and optimism with you. This is a good day for getting your ideas across to others in a positive manner. It’s also likely to be pleasant for romance and partnership. Negotiations tend to go well today. You’re feeling generous and your openness endears you to others, while people also tend to be more generous than usual with you — with their time, energy, and attention. Sharing ideas, plans, and visions with someone you care about can figure strongly and warm the heart. While social energy is strong, the Moon’s move into your work and health sector this morning provides some balance for your attention. Take care of details and work through problems with heart.
Aquarius
Today is strong for personal appeal and possibly romantic attention as well, dear Aquarius. You are in a good position to solve a perplexing problem or to stumble upon the information you need at just the right time. You may be showing your affection for someone through your help and support. Business matters can fare quite well right now, particularly with a generous, giving approach. While there can be quite a bit of attention given to practical matters today, the Moon moves into your playful solar fifth house, and from the morning forward, there should be nice opportunities to express yourself and your creative side. There can be social opportunities arising through work, services, or the pursuit of health and wellness goals today.
Pisces
Today should be strong for relating, particularly in partnerships, love affairs, and with artistic peers, dear Pisces. Emotional openness can be part of this, and acceptance and generosity help. You can be especially popular right now. When people put their faith in you, you want them to see they’ve made a good choice, and this is a very nice day for natural, warm, and generous expressions and gestures. The most success, however, does not come from waiting for others to make your day, but rather from taking advantage of the reciprocating energies available to you now by expressing to others what you would love to receive in return – faith and acceptance. While there are days when you tend to magnetize what you fear due to a focus on flaws and frustrations, today it’s about magnetizing what you desire.

Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on July 1st:
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 lifetime).
