Horoscopes
Aries
There are several reasons to take things easy today, dear Aries, and to engage your imagination. You have a greater need for time to think, muse, rest, and relax with the Moon in your privacy sector all day. You might want to bow out of or sidestep competitive activities and pay more attention to your spiritual or emotional needs. Two minor challenging aspects to Mercury in your entertainment sector occur now, however, and there can be some doubts or wistfulness related to your love life, or there can be vague difficulties with guilt or procrastination to deal with. Directing your energy constructively may not be easy, but if it’s not necessary either, then give yourself a break.
Taurus
With the Moon in your friendship sector all day, dear Taurus, you may be seeking a morale boost. You’re drawn to people who make you feel good or with whom you feel a special camaraderie. With minor but challenging aspects between Mercury and planets in this sector of your solar chart active today, however, there can be some misunderstandings involving friends or networks, or challenges accommodating both your needs for family and familiarity and your desire for new situations and social life. There can be uncertainty related to long-term plans or a relationship. Watch for looking too hard for reassurance when the answers are inside of you. Make a resolution to listen to your intuition more often!
Gemini
The Moon spends the day in your performance and reputation sector, dear Gemini, and while this usually keeps your eye on the prize, there can be challenges concentrating today. Distractions are plenty, and it can be difficult to know where to put your faith or your energies. You have many different interests pulling your attention away from your priorities now. As well, communications can be tricky. Aim to be clear when speaking or writing. Better yet, take this time to do some rethinking of a situation and wait for a better time to express yourself.
Cancer
The inner adventurer is stimulated today with the Moon in your solar ninth house all day, dear Cancer. However, with Mercury in challenging aspect to bodies in this same house today, this may be escapism more than adventure! Watch for a tendency to procrastinate or avoid your priorities now, but do listen for your body’s signals to get more rest. Values and opinions can seem at odds with others now. Your mind is likely to wander, particularly later today. Seek out healthy, simple, and happy activities rather than falling for the illusion that you need something exotic to be satisfied.
Leo
The Moon spends the day in your solar eighth house, dear Leo, and encourages you to go deeper when it comes to understanding yourself and recent events. You’re likely to linger on your feelings rather than tuck them away, and this is perfect for you at this time, in moderation, of course. Take a wait-and-see approach now, and particularly later today with Mercury forming minor challenging aspects. Communicating effectively can be difficult, and so can thinking to some degree — indecision is possible now. You might second-guess what you see or believe, and others may not quite get what you mean for the time being. Hesitance is likely, and perhaps necessary. Especially with relationships and finances, clarity is not easy right now. Allow your heart to catch up with your mind before coming to firm conclusions.
Virgo
The Moon spends the day in your partnership sector, dear Virgo, and you’re more relationship-focused than usual today. However, Mercury, your ruler, forms challenging aspects to Neptune and Chiron in that same sector, complicating matters. Mercury is encouraging you to look within for answers and stimulates your imagination these days. While you may be searching for meaning in hidden places, Mercury’s awkward aspects suggest that as much as you want to see the best in a situation, it’s hard to fool yourself! Even if you draw conclusions, you’re unlikely to be able to get fully behind your perceptions. As well today, you may be worrying about a past choice or mistake from your past, and this interferes with your current frame of mind. The right answers will come to you when you’re not pushing for them to appear, so take your time.
Libra
The Moon spends the day in your solar sixth house, dear Libra, serving to raise up your emotional sensitivity to imbalances and flaws. This may very well provide the motivation or fuel to fix problems and smooth out differences, but if it doesn’t, you could end up fretting or tensing up. Watch for this, particularly with Mercury’s challenging aspects to Neptune and Chiron, pointing to confusing directions or instructions and a general tendency for lack of clarity with others. You might have a hard time getting the specifics you want. Social interactions or issues can get in the way of your work, and vice versa. Distractions are plenty, or you are more sensitive to them tonight.
Scorpio
The Moon encourages you to push some limits creatively and perhaps romantically or socially as well today, dear Scorpio. Spontaneity is the key today, but as the day advances, you could find uncertainty a bit frustrating. Mercury at the top of your chart wants you to plan ahead and organize your thoughts, but its challenging aspects to Neptune and Chiron can lead to procrastination or ineffective multi-tasking today. If it’s possible, take a breather if things are not coming together well. Doubts or confusion about your career, goals, or where you’re headed can set in, or there can be communications that baffle you in your professional or public life. Adjustments in the ways you approach others may be necessary now.
Sagittarius
There are a few astrological reasons for taking things easy, resting, and dreaming today, dear Sagittarius. The Moon spends the day in your family and home sector, and this tends to subdue your more worldly ambitions, encouraging self-care, and comfortable or safe routes as you build up your emotional strength. As well, Mercury in minor challenging aspects to Neptune and Chiron suggest an increased need for imagination in your life. You could become excited about news or a conclusion you draw, but then second-guess whether it was only a fantasy. You may feel as if you are in limbo, but you’d be wise to flow along with the idea that specifics or clear answers may not be necessary for the time being. Circumstances are such that you can feel you have to make a choice between playing things safe or going out on a limb, when a compromise may be better.
Capricorn
The Moon spends the full day in your communications sector, dear Capricorn, and the curious side of your nature is brought to the forefront. While communications and connections are in strong focus, Mercury, the planet of communication, forms challenging aspects with bodies in this sector of your chart, and this can mean confusing situations! It can be difficult to focus or concentrate, and the information you crave may not be forthcoming. Furthermore, there can be missed directions, and your mind drifts very quickly. If you’re not entirely certain about something, it may be better not to express a definite opinion right now. Imaginative activities fare very well today.
Aquarius
The Moon spends the day in your solar second house, dear Aquarius, and you may be seeking out consistency and security. Comforting, earthy, and grounding activities fare best right now. However, it would be wise to avoid counting on solid answers right now as Neptune and Chiron, both in this same sector of your solar chart, are in challenging relationship with Mercury, the planet of communication. Perceptions may be blurred when it comes to the technical side of things. Wishful thinking can color perceptions in relationships, and there can be some see-sawing or beating around the bush that can be unsatisfying if you’re determined to get specifics. Backing off from a problem makes room for your intuition to click in, leading to a better solution if you are patient enough to wait for it.
Pisces
The Moon spends the day in your sign, dear Pisces, and some of your inhibitions fall away as you embrace life with more spontaneity than usual. You’re likely to feel freer and lighter now, and life seems more colorful. You might also be prone to moodiness, however, since you’re particularly sensitive to your environment, and with both Neptune and Chiron in your sign in minor challenging aspect to Mercury, there can be misunderstandings to deal with — more than usual! This can happen with a partner or co-workers, or it may be about missing information or instructions. Particularly later today, you can have a strong desire to sort something out logically, but you may also be feeling a powerful competing energy that encourages you to let go of problems and consider the bigger picture. Look for a compromise.

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 13th:
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
