Horoscopes
Aries
This is a strong day for emotional healing, speaking about matters of the heart, and bonding with loved ones, dear Aries. You can be especially focused and will pursue your personal aims with determination. It’s a good time to make a lifestyle change. You are more likely to seek out deeper connections to others today, but while you are certainly in a more intense mood than usual, you are very capable of detaching yourself enough to have abstract conversations now, and can learn much about creative projects or methods now. Conversations with family are in focus.
Taurus
Your relationships continue to be in strong focus today, dear Taurus. Today is powerful for good communications that help you bond with people you care about. You come alive right now in a one-to-one situation, whether this is with a close friend or partner or in a counseling set-up. Good ideas come from conversations, and so do good feelings! You may be feeling a little dependent on others right now, but mostly in a pleasant, connected way. You tend to go with the flow rather than make waves today, as you are seeking harmony and balance as a priority.
Gemini
This is a good day for getting organized and taking care of business, dear Gemini, and you’re inclined to really enjoy doing so. You might also play a supportive role to others, and while this was likely the case yesterday as well, today you are more apt to feel good about it. You’re just fine with others taking the lead while you work hard in the background, just for now. Clutter or disorganization can be very irritating to you today, so you’d be wise to bring some order into your life as soon as you can in order to maximize satisfaction. Staying idle can make you restless, so roll up your sleeves and get things done!
Cancer
This is a strong day for feeling self-assured and confident, dear Cancer. You’re likely to find that others either support you or step out of the way and let you “do your thing”. Today, you instinctively know how to work for instead of against yourself, and your head and heart tend to be in agreement, and decision making benefits. It’s a generally balanced day, and your personal appeal is quite strong. You may be wearing your heart on your sleeve, or your feelings obviously expressed in your face, perhaps without even knowing it. This is a day when connecting without pretenses is highly favored.
Leo
This is a strong day for building relationships, bonding with others, and connecting with your own deeper needs and desires, dear Leo. You are especially observant and quite willing to watch and learn rather than jump into action, and this attitude can benefit you from time to time, and particularly today. There can be wonderfully sentimental moments enjoyed now. You may need a space to call your own, however, as much as connecting with others on an emotional level is favored. A good balance between alone time and moments of sharing would be ideal and quite achievable now.
Virgo
This can be an imaginative and sociable day, dear Virgo. You are likely to learn something truly useful. Reaching out to others is favored, although you’re quite content to work on your own as well, making a balance between the two ideal. You’re more emotionally invested than usual in your ideas, beliefs, intelligence, and feelings of belonging today, and while this can leave you feeling a little vulnerable at times, you’re likely to feel good about your experiences. You have a stronger need to be heard. You tend to go with your gut today, and it’s likely quite effective.
Libra
This is a strong day for connecting with the world of the five senses, dear Libra. Activities that bring you down to earth, reconnect you with nature, and help to ground you can be very beneficial now. As well, your senses are keen for business and practical matters. You might crave new things or you can thoroughly enjoy taking care of and organizing prized collections and possessions. This is not an adventurous time, as you are in need of some predictability and a sense of security, but it’s a good time for getting to know what it is you truly value. Bolder times lie ahead, but for now, you need to settle in. It’s also a good day for talking about or solving problems surrounding career, business, and goals. A business can benefit from networking efforts now.
Scorpio
Your emotions are pronounced today with the Moon in your sign all day, dear Scorpio, and you may be keeping others guessing with your moodiness. However, for the most part, you are in a forward-looking, expressive, and positive mood. Today and the next couple of days can stimulate any latent impulsiveness. You’re certainly in need of fresh experiences and if you don’t seek them out, they tend to find you anyway! Gut feelings are likely to be correct now. While you tend to want to go your own way today, sharing ideas and experiences with others — as long as you can still feel free and independent — can be especially rewarding. It’s a good time for pursuing personal goals and studies.
Sagittarius
The Moon spends the entire day in the sign right behind yours, dear Sagittarius, and this points to the need to go undercover in some way as you regenerate, process, heal, digest, and renew your emotional spirit. With the Moon in supportive aspect today, you should find good outlets for doing these things. Some level of retreat from the “real world” can be good for you now. You are sensitive and observant. You might enjoy helping or supporting others today, and conversations can be very productive, so this is not necessarily about shutting out the world completely – it’s simply about keeping some things to yourself and not doing things that will overtax your system. The Moon will move into your sign tomorrow morning, and it will encourage you to connect with your environment, but for now, honor the need to rest, relax, and escape.
Capricorn
You are more emotionally invested in your friendships, happiness goals, and close relationships today than usual, dear Capricorn, and the extra attention you bring to these can benefit you greatly. You can be feeling nice friendship vibes and kinship with people today. This is a good time for activities related to teamwork, support groups, and networking. Personal causes and aspirations are in stronger focus, and although subject to some ups and downs, generally have you feeling motivated and connected. While emotions figure strongly, you’re also in the position to converse objectively about personal matters, making it a great time to sort through trouble areas in relationships or to address tricky issues.
Aquarius
You are a little more ambitious than usual today, dear Aquarius, and aware of what others expect of you. People are noticing you for your efforts and your performance, and the feedback should be quite positive now. It’s a strong day for work and ambitious projects. You are goal-oriented and focusing on accomplishing something important now, and pleasantly so. It can feel quite wonderful to nurse ambition without pressure or stress. Pacing yourself comes more easily than usual to you, and you quite naturally take the lead. Charisma and influence are strong.
Pisces
There is a strong desire to explore and gently push your usual boundaries today, dear Pisces. Every once in awhile, challenging yourself in small ways to do something different or new can subtly but effectively boost your confidence, and today is strong for doing so. You may be craving slightly exotic or unusual things and experiences now, and some of you may be attracted to someone surprising. Dreams or visions can be prophetic. You’re pleasantly emotional today, finding it easy to absorb the atmospheric moods around you. Aim to expand your horizons in some way today.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
CANCER STRONG
Nurturing, protective, tenacious, emotional sensitive, watery, strong roots. Can be overly protective, unwilling to let go, timid, reclusive.
LEO STRONG
Self-confident, generous, warm-hearted, powerful leader, dramatic. Can be overly proud, vain, extravagant, arrogant.
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
EARTH WEAK
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.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
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 STRONG
We are thinking about the long view, seeking out security and stability rather than change. We may be committed, focused, resistant to making changes, and stubborn.
Current Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on July 14th:
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).
