Horoscopes
Aries
The first half of the day is excellent for enjoying good company or for working on things you feel passionately about, dear Aries. You’re focusing on your hopes, wishes, and goals which can inspire you. You are particularly innovative, inventive, and ahead of your time with ideas and visions. The Moon moves into your soul sector midday, and the mood changes somewhat. This step marks the last couple of days of the lunar cycle and signals a brief period when increased rest or hiatus from demanding activities can help renew emotional energy. Some form of retreat can be beneficial now! Reviewing recent events is particularly useful.
Taurus
You can feel quite inspired by or committed to what you’re doing in the first half of the day, dear Taurus. Your energy increases when you’re given a little leeway, or you’re permitted to add some inventiveness to your work or tasks. From midday, the Moon’s transit stimulates your more sociable side and brings out your need for a sense of community and a feeling that you belong. You may not feel entirely comfortable if you give in to the temptation to do what’s familiar, however, so consider mixing up your routine just enough to satisfy both your needs for comfort and for adventure, which are both quite powerful today!
Gemini
There is a pleasant smoothness to your self-expression and pursuit of filing your needs and desires in the first half of the day, dear Gemini. You’re enthusiastic, embracing small changes that propel you forward, and your emotions are spirited. From midday, you become more concerned with the end game, goals, and ambitions. Direction becomes more important now as the Moon moves to the top of your solar chart. You may be taking things a little more seriously than you let on today, however, and this can lead to some touchy moments as others don’t always know how to deal with you.
Cancer
You continue to take on the role of the observer in the first half of the day, dear Cancer, and this can be very useful to you, in moderation, of course. This is particularly the case in your career or regarding your relationships with a parent, boss, or another overseer in your life. From midday forward, you’re ready to jump into action, however, as the Moon moves into your adventure sector. Some people handle this Moon transition faster than others, and for a sensitive soul such as yourself, you may take a bit of time before you turn restlessness into activity. Focusing on an end goal may help in this respect! Once you know where to channel your enthusiasm, you’re raring to go.
Leo
With the Moon in your opposite sign until midday, dear Leo, you are in the position to see the other side of the story, and this can be eye-opening! Getting to a better understanding of yourself and your situation through the eyes of another can be in focus. Pairing up to get things done or simply listening more intently to others’ wishes and needs can figure strongly now. It’s a good time to explore, discover, and share ideas or learning with someone special. It’s also a fine time to negotiate, promote, or publicize. After midday, you tend to seek out increased depth in your activities, relationships, or projects. However, you can be torn at times today between attention to your work and your social life. Try not to give in to the temptation to micromanage now.
Virgo
You continue to find the reason to take care of small problems and daily business this morning, dear Virgo, as the Moon’s transit has the effect of highlighting the details of your life until midday, after which you seek out a wider perspective. You’ve been making a lot of the decisions, and you may now crave the input of someone you trust. It’s also a time for focusing less on the technical side of life and more on the social aspects. Off and on today, you can feel a little torn between focusing on your larger goals and enjoying the moment, which can certainly detract from productivity, but you may very well need to break things up a little if you’ve been going too hard in either direction.
Libra
You’re inclined to tune into the rhythms of an easy pace this morning, dear Libra, as the Moon continues to travel through the sector of your solar chart devoted to play, theatrics, self-expression, creativity, recreation, and romance. This feels natural and comfortable, but dynamic as you’re also enthusiastic about your relationships and projects. After midday, you begin to feel more productive in a technical sense. It’s a good time to get a little more serious and take care of business. Venus in your adventure sector ensures you keep your sense of fun and humor. Today, its minor clash with Juno in your home and family sector suggests your desire to go your own way and try new things can be at odds with the perceived need to stick with the familiar or to oversee the goings-on with family or at home.
Scorpio
With the Moon’s continued transit of your home and family sector until midday, dear Scorpio, self-nurturing and playing it safe are not only in focus, they’re also very beneficial. This process of recentering yourself and boosting your connection with your inner self helps you to make the best of the next cycle, beginning midday, in which you’re inclined to share your light with others. You express yourself more spontaneously, from the heart, and creatively now and for a couple of days during this part of the lunar cycle. You are seeking some reinforcement and acknowledgment, and excitement about love and projects rises.
Sagittarius
With continued focus on your solar third house of communications and connections in the first half of today, dear Sagittarius, you’re in an upbeat, curious, and interested frame of mind. Mind you, there can be some feelings of being scattered or undirected now, but overall, this is a good time for putting your feelers out, learning something new, and exploring your options. By midday, you’re inclined to want to settle down or settle in, both mentally and physically. The Moon begins its brief but useful transit of your home and family sector, signaling the need to look within or to loved ones for comfort. Centering yourself is in focus now.
Capricorn
You continue to seek out a steady pace in the first half of the day as the Moon transits your solar second house until midday, dear Capricorn. This is a time for enjoying comfortable emotional settings and surroundings and for catching your breath. You crave some predictability and prefer not to rock the boat during this phase. However, from midday forward, your curiosity builds, and you begin to seek out more connections to the world around you. You’re likely to be in a busy but pleasant frame of mind. Detach yourself a little from heavier topics and demanding activities now for a nice change of pace.
Aquarius
The Moon continues to transit your sign until midday, dear Aquarius, and your emotional needs are in sharp focus in the first half of the day. As you learn more about your needs, you get to know yourself better. You may find natural outlets for self-expression this morning, particularly through conversation or connection with your interests and people associated with learning and hobbies. Your emotions settle, and the pace relaxes in the second half of the day. The Moon moves into your solar second house, encouraging you to suss out what you need and use what you have to the best of your ability. It’s a good time, generally speaking, for considering purchases or applying yourself to works in progress.
Pisces
The first half of the day is good for low-key activities, efforts to rest and relax, or observing and drawing upon increased intuitive insight, dear Pisces. However, the Moon enters your sign and the second half of the day is more lively, personal, direct, and spontaneous. You’re in generally good shape with family and home life these days, but right now you could be feeling a little torn between sticking with what you know and branching out into the untried. However, this can be a good time to get in touch with some of the needs and desires you’ve brushed off recently.

PISCES STRONG
Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.

There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.
WATER STRONG
We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
BALANCE OF MODES
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON
Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.
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 12th:
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 the Moon 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).
THE MOON
THE MOON IN PISCES
A time to observe, feel, and process. We may pay special attention to our dreams, both of the night and day variety, and the subtle areas of our lives. We may have difficulties defining emotional boundaries. We might deal with stress through avoidant or escapist behavior. Focusing on creativity, philanthropy, spirituality, and artistry can be beneficial. Build your intuition, slow down and rest.
