Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

The Moon moves out of your sign and into your resources sector today, dear Aries, and you’re in great shape for settling in and getting comfortable. As well, Mercury turns retrograde today, and this is a time for slowing down, taking stock, and reviewing in-progress projects. You may encounter delays, unanswered questions, and miscommunications during this cycle, which lasts until August 11th. However, it’s also a time to review whether the decisions you’ve recently made are still viable. Particularly during the transition today, communication breakdowns are likely to occur. Mercury will spend the full retrograde cycle in your sector of romance and creativity, and while some projects or processes may seem to be moving backward, it can be a valuable realignment process. You are thinking and expressing yourself in different ways that can work in your favor. People or situations from the past tend to come back, or they are mental/emotional focus now. It’s a good time to revisit old creative projects or ideas that you didn’t have time to pursue or complete. But while today can be a little confusing, a Mercury-Venus transit is good for enjoyable interactions and learning something interesting. There are opportunities to rise above feelings of unrest, particularly if you focus on friendly gestures or creative pursuits.

Taurus

The Moon moves into your sign today, dear Taurus, and you’re beginning a new lunar cycle. Your emotions are front and center. In fact, you may recognize feelings that you didn’t realize you had. Also today, Mercury begins its retrograde, and this cycle can help you see matters from an entirely different perspective, particularly your emotional life and issues related to family and home. This cycle lasts until August 11th, and although past errors may resurface, you may want to take advantage of the time afforded to you through delays to reevaluate your approach. You may find a mistake or inconsistency that needs correction. Communication with family may not always be as straightforward as you’d like, or there can be some level of chaos or mechanical problems around the home that require your attention. New initiatives may not be wise at the moment, but reworking and reorganizing your home can be especially fruitful now. Today, be exceptionally clear if it’s important to get your message across. Helping you with this is a Mercury-Venus transit that can bring interesting musings, exchanges, and communications. While thinking is strong for finances and domestic concerns, and family life or security matters are strongly on your mind, conclusions or final decisions may not be wise, as further considerations are likely to arise later.

Gemini

The Moon slips into your privacy sector today, dear Gemini, and you may feel the need for some quiet or private time. A break from the usual routine is in order. Mercury turns retrograde today, however, and while it’s shifting directions, there can be some mix-ups or misunderstandings to manage. During this cycle, which lasts until August 11th, matters related to studies, transportation, and basic communications may involve some delays, reworking, or editing. Be flexible and vigilant about marking essential appointments and errands on your calendar. There may be a need to revisit old, unresolved issues with siblings, classmates, or neighbors, and mechanical problems with communication and transportation devices prompt some rethinking of how you connect and get around. Through these experiences, you might discover new ways to express yourself — ways that wouldn’t have come to mind otherwise. Get all the facts before you jump into something today. In the weeks ahead, reviving old projects and reviewing and revising work already in progress can be especially fruitful. Fortunately, you might fully enjoy studying, teaching, and connecting regardless of some confusion today, and your appeal gets a boost.

Cancer

The Moon heads into your friendship and happiness goals sector today, dear Cancer, and for a couple of days, you crave a more connected feeling with friends, causes, groups, or your community. With Mercury retrograde from today until August 11th, there can be a change of mind or interest, possibly even a bit of regret when it comes to those things said or begun right now and recently. This retrograde occurs in your sector of assets, and you may need to review your finances or budget, or you could be dealing with lost or misplaced things. Take the time to reassess your sources of income and how you spend your money during this period, but hold off on finalizing anything significant for the time being. In fact, some money-making ideas or ventures may be put on hold due to circumstances beyond your control. Approach old problems from a new direction or perspective, and open your mind to new ways of thinking and approaches. This is a good time to look to the past for answers to current problems. Fortunately, today’s energies favor cooperation and problem-solving. There could be more to the story later, but today’s exchanges are pleasant and sincere, and it’s refreshing.

Leo

It’s probably best to avoid launching a brand new project right now with Mercury stationing retrograde in your sign, dear Leo, as it will likely get off to a slow start, or you may reconsider it later. There may be some delays, more red tape to deal with than usual, misunderstandings, and a lack of clear messages while Mercury is retrograde until August 11th. Because this retrograde occurs in your sign, it can be more personal for you. You may not always feel understood, so it’s a good idea to take extra time to ensure you’re clear in your more important communications. Decision-making turns inward during this cycle. It’s a time of more introspection, and you will benefit significantly from this. This period is best used for reorganization and reflection. You are looking at the world a little differently–through different filters–and can come up with some significant inner revelations. It may be difficult to communicate them under this influence, but we don’t have to make sense of or rationalize everything. Although this shift isn’t great for clarity, today’s Mercury-Venus aspect produces nice cooperation or stirs a feeling of camaraderie. You might enjoy sharing ideas, personal thoughts, feelings, and memories if you can detach a little and avoid taking things too much to heart. You have a stronger sense than usual about which of your ideas have true potential for success in the long term. Even so, there’s likely to be more thinking to do about topics that emerge today, so save finalizing plans for later. For now, exploring different ideas and seeing things from a new perspective can be satisfying.

Virgo

Mercury turns retrograde in your privacy sector today, dear Virgo, and this cycle turns your thought processes inward. Some of the decisions made and projects initiated over the last couple of weeks may come up for review. You may find that both inner and outer “signals” are difficult to read until you recognize that you are looking at things in entirely new ways during this cycle that lasts until August 11th. It would be wise to be especially clear when communicating about your inner world now. You can quite easily put your foot in your mouth or reveal something that you’d prefer to remain hidden. It’s a good cycle, however, for redoing and refining work that is already underway, for journaling, and for backtracking over the past to find answers that you previously overlooked. It’s a turning point week, and it’s generally best not to make major decisions if you can help it, since new information is likely to pop up later. However, today’s Venus-Mercury transit is particularly easygoing. Themes of cooperation, conversation, and pleasant exchanges are likely. Even though you are keeping some things to yourself and are unsure whether or not you should be sharing certain observations, it’s mostly a good time to harmonize with the people around you and take a relaxed, tolerant approach to your life. Mind you, there is more to the story that’s unfolding, making it wise to delay finalizing plans.

Libra

Mercury turns retrograde today, dear Libra, and this begins a cycle, lasting until August 11th, in which it’s especially favorable to look to the past, make refinements and edits to projects, and rethink problems from a different perspective. However, with the changeover today, there can be some level of chaos to deal with revolving around communications that are misunderstood, lost, or overlooked. Mercury is spending its time in your sector of friends and dreams during this retrograde cycle, and this emphasizes your communications with associates, groups, and friends. Old acquaintances or friends may appear during this cycle, or you may decide to reconnect with an old friend. Keep things light and aim to enjoy yourself rather than focusing on the little things that may be going wrong. Helping you with this is today’s Mercury-Venus aspect that can smooth things over during an otherwise somewhat turbulent shift. Building friendships and mending broken fences are in favor.

Scorpio

Mercury stations retrograde today, dear Scorpio, and while this cycle can be beneficial for going over in-progress projects and discovering new ways of looking at old problems, the shift today can feel a little chaotic or confusing, particularly on a professional level or with business matters for you. Be clear in your communications, or consider waiting until you are clear-minded before making decisions and statements. Plans drawn up today may never come to pass. Matters from your past might be rehashed or recycled and circulated in the coming weeks (until August 11th). Some delays related to your career, professional dealings, or long-term plans are possible. It’s an excellent period for refining projects that are already underway and very helpful for turning your attention to issues that you might usually overlook. It’s a good time for review, but not the best period for clear-cut answers. While today can be confusing, a Mercury-Venus transit helps smooth things over. You might learn things that help you in your career, talking about plans for the future or long-term goals, and improving your reputation. Even so, you’d be wise to take on a wait-and-see approach since with Mercury’s retrograde, there’s more to the story that’s unfolding before you. Today, you’re enjoying playing with ideas.

Sagittarius

Mercury turns retrograde today, dear Sagittarius, launching a cycle that lasts until August 11th, and that’s strong for review, refinement, and editing work. It can be a time to catch your breath and process things, allowing your feelings to catch up with your mind. This retrograde occurs in your solar ninth house, and you may need to review legal, educational, and/or travel matters. Publishing efforts may require some review and editing before moving forward. Take care when presenting ideas, writing letters and emails, and handling any detailed work. You may not be seeing the whole picture, but you could be looking at things with a new perspective. You may even decide to return to studies or personal interests that were put on hold or otherwise fell off the radar. Today, you could enjoy lively exchanges that inspire you and renew your spirit. Today’s Mercury shift can be a bit chaotic, but today’s Mercury-Venus sextile brings benefits and good feelings from connecting, particularly on romantic and one-on-one levels. Good communication skills can reverberate positivity to other areas of life as well.

Capricorn

Aim to slow yourself down today, dear Capricorn, so that you don’t miss important instructions or details. Mercury begins its retrograde cycle, and it will continue in your solar eighth house until August 11th. Now and over the coming weeks, there can be some confusion surrounding financial commitments and shared resources. Review your finances, and realize that facts may be fuzzy for the time being. Rather than taking out new loans, focus on reviewing the debt and shared resources you already have and sorting them out. The confusion can also play out on an intimate level, and you may find yourself frequently turning to the past in order to understand the present better. This is, in fact, a healthy, beneficial process. There can be great value in slowing down and considering past successes or misses so that you can better understand the present. You may do some thinking about previous partners, or someone from your past may be thinking about contacting you. While there can be some confusion as this shift occurs, today’s Mercury-Venus sextile helps boost pleasant interactions and discoveries. A smooth, easygoing approach to others and your work yields the best results now. You might find some sweet spots for happy exchanges. This transit helps you find the right balance between light and serious.

Aquarius

Mercury turns retrograde today, dear Aquarius, and will continue its retrograde cycle in your partnership sector until August 11th. Some of the things you’ve recently started or communicated need some touching up. This is a helpful process, even if you’re backspacing now. You are likely to see a relationship from a different perspective in the coming weeks. Give others space and give yourself time to arrive at conclusions or decisions. Communications can be muddled, or questions left hanging for the time being, but delays can also help you to understand your situation better as you see details you may have missed in the past. Previous partners can play a strong role during this cycle, whether you’re aware of it or not. While this retrograde shift can involve ups and downs, a Mercury-Venus transit today suggests happy opportunities to connect. This transit reminds you of the pleasure of casual exchanges. Detaching yourself or communicating just for the pleasure of it without the need for an end goal can smooth things out.

Pisces

The Moon moves into your sector of communications and transport today, dear Pisces, but Mercury turns retrograde today, complicating these very things! This can serve to sway your thinking and change your mind about recent decisions. Think in terms of review rather than pushing forward something entirely new for the best results. Mercury’s retrograde lasts until August 11th, and during this cycle, it’s better to slow down and attend to those things you may have rushed in the past. It’s also a time for seeing things from a different perspective. This retrograde cycle affects your work and health sectors, and you may experience some rethinking, delays, or editing related to health, work, and daily routines. You may be waiting for an answer on something that can be irritating, but that can also lead to creative workarounds. Work-related mix-ups can frustrate you, or you might need to redo work that you thought was complete. However, the refinements you make now can be very valuable later. Today’s Mercury-Venus transit helps boost you. Focusing your attention on a special project can be useful. Your increased desire to find peace in your domestic life, family, and work can lead to agreements and favorable circumstances. Finalizing decisions may not yet be wise, but you can enjoy the process now.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on July 18th:

Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. Conversely, when an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. As such, 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).

PLUTO IN AQUARIUS

(1777 – 1799) It is important to note that Pluto takes about 248 years to make a complete cycle, spending 12 to 32 years in each sign.

People in this generation have the ability to make scientific breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity, and may be forced to change the way science is viewed. (Pluto is in Aquarius from March 23rd to June 11th, 2023, from January 20th to September 1st, 2024; from November 19th, 2024, to March 8th, 2043, and from August 31st, 2043, to January 19th, 2044).
