Horoscopes
Aries

Today can be wonderful for love, self-expression, learning, connecting, and creating, dear Aries. Keep your schedule just a little bit open today for best results. If you’ve been feeling less than confident, you’ll get a nice boost today. Also today, you begin a new cycle in which home life becomes more fulfilling and secure with extra attention. Self-healing efforts can be powerful as well. Tending to your home base, matters of security and comfort, the needs of your loved ones, and your own safety and care are empowering and even healing activities now and until October. Bringing more structure and order to the home can be an important part of this, but the emotional side is also in focus. You might find ways to work from or in the home, and this builds a sense of comfort.
Taurus

Family activities can thrive, dear Taurus. There is extra energy available to your personal life today, and it’s important to do something with it rather than let it hang there, stimulating restlessness and discontent. Some of you may feel the need to put a negative situation behind you, and the courage to do so (or impatience!) emerges now. Also today, you begin a cycle that lasts until October in which you take a stronger interest in learning projects and communications, such as writing or speaking, particularly with well-defined goals or related to business. People are taking you seriously and are drawn to your advice or ideas. This cycle is excellent for counseling and talking through problems. It’s also a good period for gathering truly useful, helpful information.
Gemini

This is a good time for sharing ideas and making connections, dear Gemini, but as cooperative as you feel now, you’re likely to want to pursue your ideas and plans independently. Gather inspiration, and then come to your own conclusions. Also today, you are entering a cycle in which you are likely to explore or discover the magical healing powers of activities that are simple, natural, and earthy. You might need to feel more connected with nature to feel alive and well. You are more patient and persistent with money and business during this period. Emotionally, you are at your best if you develop self-sufficiency, with few expectations of others.
Cancer

You’ll want to take action or take charge when it comes to matters related to security, money, and career today, dear Cancer. The enterprising side of you emerges, and while you don’t mind exchanging ideas with others, you’re in an independent frame of mind. With Vesta entering your sign today and continuing to transit Cancer until October 20th, there can be a very healthy focus on your own needs and desires. There is wisdom found through focus on the self, in moderation of course, as it can be healing. Others can see you as exceptionally competent, although a little withdrawn or hard to reach. Be dedicated and persistent, but watch for obsessiveness, during this trend.
Leo

Wanderlust can grab hold today, dear Leo. You won’t appreciate feeling constrained or restricted right now. You can feel excitement about a new idea or perspective and ride on that energy. You might thoroughly enjoy teaching or guiding others today. You’re beginning a cycle that lasts until October and puts you in touch with your needs for, and the healing benefits of, some level of solitude, meditation, and reflection. You may wish to set up a routine that encourages these things, such as a regular walk or time of day when you’re on your own and in peaceful surroundings. Making more time for these things can not only bring you into better touch with your needs, it can also help you bring a healthier “you” to your career and relationships.
Virgo

If you can manage some alone time today, dear Virgo, you can get a whole lot accomplished. Even if you can’t squeeze it in, your thoughts can often turn to what’s going on inside. You can feel quite motivated and inspired to take charge of your private life. You may be considering your dependencies and devising ways to feel more able to manage your life on your own. It’s a good time for self-discovery and uncovering feelings that are at the root of problem areas in your life. Also today, you begin a cycle in which you can feel quite committed to a friend, cause, or group. Lasting until October, this is a good time to pour some energy into a dream or happiness goal.
Libra

This is a fine day for social activities, dear Libra, as well as for enthusiasm and inspiration gathered from a partner and friends. You’ll want to channel extra energy into activities for best results. Otherwise, you may feel restless. You begin a cycle that lasts until October in which you experience more patience and drive for realizing your goals, particularly related to career. It’s very important to bring more structure and order to your endeavors. You may be in the position of manager, leader, or organizer during this cycle.
Scorpio

You can feel revitalized through your work or your practical focus today, dear Scorpio. It’s a good time to not only feel motivated and confident about pursuing health and work goals but to take action on these matters. Try not to overdo things to prevent this energy from burning out too quickly. You are also entering a cycle, lasting until October, that improves your focus and concentration levels. You are seeking out more meaning in your life, and with a stronger sense of purpose, you’re more likely to thrive. It’s easier to make commitments and fulfill them. You may very well find that living a slightly more ordered life is freeing!
Sagittarius

Confidence builds today, dear Sagittarius, and you’ll want to express yourself creatively or through adventuresome activities now. It can be a spirited time that’s best enjoyed if you lay out some broad goals. If you structure your day too tightly, your creativity may suffer. You are entering a cycle today in which there’s much going on under the surface of things and behind the scenes. Healing can come through counseling and therapy or an intimate relationship. You can feel a surge of motivation to make significant lifestyle changes and improvements. Research can bring rewards, but avoid digging so deeply that you end up exposing things you’re not ready to see.
Capricorn

You’ll want to take the lead or take action in your personal life today, dear Capricorn. It can be difficult for you to simply let things flow on the home front — you’re craving more involvement and activity that provides you with a sense you’re growing, improving, and truly living life. You are entering a cycle today that reminds you that you can get a whole lot more done if you are paired up with someone special. While you often feel that you do your best work on your own, others tend to jump start or motivate your own efforts during this cycle that lasts until October. You should watch for putting so much effort into your relationships or into others’ needs that you ignore your own, however. You might also find that your close relationships become tense without an active focus, project, or purpose.
Aquarius

You’ll feel the need to take the lead in your social life today, dear Aquarius, and you may very well inspire others with your ideas and plans. It’s a spirited time for connecting and communicating. You may feel a little restless if you don’t have stable outlets for excess energy, however. Even so, spontaneity is important right now, so make plans, but leave some room for changes. You also begin a cycle today that helps you put more order and structure into your daily life, routines, health pursuits, and work. Adding a little more order or structure to your routines can be a major key to healing. You can also feel a building need to tend to your natural need for exercise and proper nutrition.
Pisces

A surge of confidence for dealing with the practical side of your life is with you today, dear Pisces. You’re not content to simply think about ways to improve your finances, work, and services — you need to take action. Even little steps that move you closer to your goals can be very satisfying now. So that you don’t burn out too quickly, starting small may be just what you need. Also today, you begin a cycle in which you feel the sparks of excitement about a hobby, project, or other interest building. In the coming weeks, really getting somewhere with a hobby or pastime is possible, whether it’s a venture already in place, a rekindling of an old interest, or an entirely new source of inspiration. In fact, this can all be very healing for you, so tap into your creative muse.

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.

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: 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 25th:
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).
