Horoscopes
Aries
Power struggles within the family circle or buried problems emerge today with a Mars-Pluto opposition, dear Aries. It can be difficult to relinquish control even if you know it’s for the best. Work or family matters can be heated and serve to rile you up. Take a deep breath and avoid obsessive thoughts that may border on paranoia now. Pressures will ease as you go forward, particularly if you aim to approach problems step by step. As the day progresses, excellent energy is with you, in fact, for pacing yourself, particularly with creative pursuits. This can be a good time for gentle discipline or boundary-building with others.
Taurus
Opinions can bother you quite deeply today, dear Taurus, and so can the words people choose to express themselves as Mars opposes Pluto across your communications sector this morning. You might consider that something may be hitting the nerve of a deeper issue if you’re getting worked up too much on what is said. Avoid confrontations if you can, as there is rather provocative energy with us today. However, it’s wise to observe and learn from frustrations that emerge and their trigger points. As the day advances, you’re in an excellent position to build trust in an intimate or close relationship as well as to add some structure to your home life. Improvements are in focus.
Gemini
Who’s doing their share, and who isn’t? These questions can take center stage today, dear Gemini, but the answers may not be rational or clear for the time being. As Mars opposes Pluto in your resources and sharing sectors this morning, matters related to the sharing of power or money can be tricky. Changes are necessary in an intimate relationship, and circumstances conspire to show you this fact. Conflicts over money or possessions may disguise deeper issues. As the day advances, you’ll find it easier to focus on what’s practical. It’s a good time to make reasonable and informed decisions in relationships. Partnering up to get something done makes the most sense now.
Cancer
Situations seem to be “either-or” this morning, dear Cancer, while a compromise, as elusive as it may seem, may be the best solution. You don’t want to tolerate being controlled, manipulated, or coerced right now. Stand your ground, and avoid playing the same game that others are playing. Buried frustrations may erupt or come to a head, and it can be a little tricky, but bringing something that seems dark into the light may very well be a surprising relief. As the day advances, it’s easier to focus on what needs doing. Practical matters fare much better today than emotional ones, which can be loaded.
Leo
Others may not be very cooperative in the first half of the day, dear Leo, and you may not be either! Stubbornness is likely to frustrate right now. Power struggles on the job might ensue, and the little things tend to irritate most, especially if there are disrupted schedules to deal with or if others are interfering with your methods or process. Seek peace and quiet away from the storm, but if you need to get something out in the open or out of your system, this may be your opportunity. As the day advances, you’re likely to let go of tension and pour your energy into projects over which you have more control. You can be in an especially productive frame of mind and might feel completely dedicated to a venture or a person. You may be showing your devotion through actions or in practical ways.
Virgo
People can demand a lot from you in the first half of the day, dear Virgo, but if you look more closely, it’s really about their insecurities and fear, as these things are likely to be driving their desire to control. You don’t need to prove yourself in the face of unreasonable demands. Calm reassurance is best. A romantic relationship or feelings and concerns about someone can become heated today. As the day advances, you’re inclined to seek out productive and constructive activities, however, and you’re less likely to dwell on emotional complications. Building relationships with family can be in focus. You may be helping others out, and your dedication is appreciated.
Libra
Any confrontations around you early today have control and power written all over them, dear Libra, and you may feel caught in the middle. There may also be tricky issues with family and authority figures to deal with now. Everyone seems to want their way, and few are conceding, which leads to rather tense scenarios. Don’t allow someone to try to control or manipulate you, but know how to approach the situation with care. As the day advances, you prefer to focus on building up your relationships or projects. Support of — or from — a friend may come through constructive conversations.
Scorpio
Misunderstandings in the first half of the day tend to stem from taking things — especially ideas, opinions, and words — too personally, dear Scorpio. Opt for self-control, even if you feel provoked. Consider intentions, and avoid impulsive moves right now. There is confrontational energy with us that can lead to a significant release, but try to be mindful of what you say and how you say it. As the day advances, you’re likely to tap into straightforward and productive energy for work, money, business, and practical affairs. Your choices are reasonable, and the more productive you are, the better you feel.
Sagittarius
Watch for impulsiveness with money, resources, or relationships in the first half of the day, dear Sagittarius, as chances are high that you may be making bad moves and poor choices, not to mention the general frustration that can ensue. Ownership matters — who owns what and who does what — can be issues on the table now and can lead to a tug of war situation that has no winners. However, as the day advances, you’re in a particularly excellent position to develop a pet project or your studies. You can be feeling good about your work and commitments and derive a sense of satisfaction from self-discipline.
Capricorn
Resist attempting to control someone today who is acting in a brash or pushy manner, dear Capricorn. Others’ behaviors seem to be assertions of independence or attempts to prove to you, in so many ways, that you’re not needed, and this can be frustrating. However, backing off is probably the better defense right now. Nobody wins when manipulative tactics are employed. Even so, if frustrations need a release, this may be the push to do so, but it’s better to do so mindfully. As the day advances, complex relationship dynamics are less of a concern as you interest yourself more in being productive. You may feel pleasantly devoted to someone or a pet project, or you can feel stronger for supporting someone now.
Aquarius
Stay clear of power struggles and confrontations today, dear Aquarius, as they seem to crop up all too quickly with the provocative energy of a Mars-Pluto influence this morning. Frustrations about schedules, duties, obligations, and lack of time to yourself can reach a head. Fears that you’re not doing enough or performing at your peak can undermine you now, making you feel tense, or you may worry about the discovery of a secret. Learn from what seems to trigger you today and work on a plan to tackle it gradually rather than succumb to pressures to deal with it all at once. As the day advances, you are in an excellent position to show your support and dedication to someone or a cause.
Pisces
A power struggle may occur early today, dear Pisces, likely involving a friend or lover, and may very well be about attention or recognition. Money or boundaries could also be an issue. It’s a butt your head against the wall type of energy, however, so nobody truly wins. You may feel it’s best to stay out of it, but if something needs releasing, this can be a time for turning a corner. Later today, you’re likely to feel pleasantly dedicated to your work or a program to improve health. Self-discipline comes more naturally than usual.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
CANCER STRONG
Nurturing, protective, tenacious, emotional sensitive, watery, strong roots. Can be overly protective, unwilling to let go, timid, reclusive.
LIBRA STRONG
Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK
We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.
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
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
MUTABLE WEAK
We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.
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 2nd:
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).

SATURN
