Horoscopes
Aries
This is a strong day for communicating, following a hunch, and pursuing intellectual interests, dear Aries. Home may not be your haven today, as it’s likely to be quite busy and possibly hectic, but for the most part, it’s a pleasant kind of busy-ness. Changes in plans and some level of restlessness can lead to important new ideas and discoveries. This can also be a good time for doing things with family or for activities centering around the home. If you look closely, you’ll find opportunities to boost your relationships, mainly through honest, direct, and open conversations. Taking action on a home or financial matter can be in focus now.
Taurus
The day’s energies are strong for studies, conversations, and making connections, dear Taurus. There is a tendency to make quick judgments or decisions now, so be sure they’re quick and not hasty. Today is good for bringing yourself to do something different or to take action on an idea and enjoying a stronger sense of well-being as a result. While you may not be especially sensitive in your communications, you can also be quite effective and to the point. This is an excellent time for gently pushing ahead, and strong for partnering up with someone for an activity or to solve a problem.
Gemini
This is a strong day for coming up with new business ideas, dear Gemini, with Mercury, your ruler, in your money house complementing Mars in your work and health sector. A surge of energy for defending or asserting yourself may lead to an improved situation. You tend to make decisions quickly, but because Mercury is also moving towards a clash with Uranus, it’s best not to throw all caution to the wind. Motivation to improve your finances, work methods, and health or lifestyle can be strong now. It’s also a good time for taking charge of earnings.
Cancer
Mental energy is strong today, dear Cancer, and you can be especially motivated to put an idea into action and/or to assert your desires and independence. Pretty much any situation that keeps you engaged and allows for some personal space and movement is attractive and rewarding now. Look for opportunities to advance your personal interests today. Recent, lingering doubts can disappear today, as you are able to see things a little more clearly and to express yourself more effectively. New ideas may inspire new projects. There can be extra courage to express affection or desire now.
Leo
There is nice mental energy as well as plenty of enthusiasm with you today, dear Leo. Your dreams and imagination are highlighted right now, and you can be especially creative with these things, putting what you dream into motion or action. Meditation, art, theater, dance, and other such activities that combine imagination with action, can be very beneficial now. Ideas are coming to you at lightning speed today, and they may be ahead of their time, but take note of at least some of them before dismissing. You may be taking the lead on a family or private matter.
Virgo
Good energy is with you today for sorting out problems, dear Virgo. You are seeking out intellectual stimulation, and you can be especially on the ball mentally. You might choose to reorganize, sort through something that requires attention to detail, or draw up plans for a new project. A friend can be especially supportive, or a new alliance might be made now. There can be more courage or desire to assert yourself now, particularly on a social level. New visions of your future can motivate and inspire you. Energy levels improve as motivation increases.
Libra
The Moon enters your sign this morning, dear Libra, putting your emotional needs on the front burner. Strong energy for facing matters is with you today. Expressing confidence in your more unique qualities comes naturally on a professional level. The key to success now is to keep it real – avoid showiness and simply let others see you for your value. This is a time for working to enhance and improve your career, public, life, and reputation, and for putting plans into motion. You have a desire for action. Employ both sense and sensitivity today. Career projects developed or begun now can be especially fulfilling in the long term.
Scorpio
While the Moon’s move into your privacy sector this morning can point to a need to withdraw a little, dear Scorpio, this is a strong time for really getting things done. You are determined, focused, and motivated, and this is a magical combination. Tend to matters that have been left hanging. Whatever you choose to pour your energy into, you’ll make considerable progress. Others tend to support you in your efforts, or allow you breathing space to do your thing. Thoughts turn to larger matters, and new worlds open up to you as you expand your mind. You can be especially busy today, particularly on a mental level, but you can be a little retiring on an emotional level.
Sagittarius
There can be some restlessness today, dear Sagittarius, but it’s the kind that can lead you to great discoveries. Be sure that it doesn’t also lead to seeking out problems. New insights can come, and possibly even secrets revealed. You have the chance to heal or repair relationships if you are open to understanding power dynamics and relinquishing some of the control. It is easy for you to talk about personal matters today, and this helps others to open up as well, but you’re also interested in doing more than simply discuss issues – you want to get your hands dirty and get things done. This is a strong time for intimate and financial matters as well.
Capricorn
While there can be some unpredictability to the day, dear Capricorn, you can enjoy increased courage and spontaneity, particularly on mental and social levels. As well, some restlessness can lead to interesting experiences and new ideas or discoveries. The agendas of others in your life tend to be ahead of yours these days with a lot of activity in your partnership sector, and it’s a good time for honoring your close relationships and making an extra effort to improve them. Today’s energies are good for getting involved, sorting through problems, and bringing ideas to life. Increased clarity and good feelings come from a willingness to learn from others and to encourage them to express themselves as well.
Aquarius
Today is strong for enthusiasm and motivation, dear Aquarius. You can be excited about putting ideas into motion. Small projects that you begin now can have long term viability, as long as you approach them slowly but surely. Problems, particularly work or health-related, can more easily be solved today – you might suddenly have the tools to handle tricky areas. You have the chance to strengthen relationships with co-workers or with yourself and your attitudes towards work. You might discover new ways of approaching your work. It’s a good time to attend to aspects of your health, such as diet and exercise, that need some attention. However, you may not always feel understood today. Working at your own pace is favored.
Pisces
Children, a friend, or a romantic partner could need some extra attention and they are likely to introduce some level of surprise or excitement into your day, dear Pisces. You are inspired and motivated to express yourself in unique ways today, and especially willing to take chances. Bringing ideas to life can be in focus, and you may be paying more attention to personal hobbies or recreation and entertainment. Expressing your ideas and affections come more easily and quite naturally. You can be more spontaneous now. Openness and willingness are important qualities that lead to success today. There is a bigger focus on fun than practicality, however.

Event: Tr-Tr Ven Sqr Cer
Description: Transiting Venus Square Transiting Ceres
We could be feeling possessive, dependent, or overly attached. This can be a needy time, but also one in which we discover or recognize insecurities and dependencies and may be motivated to make changes.
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.
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.
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.
Current Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: CRESCENT
Moon 45 to 90 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an eager, impulsive, and progressive time. We are motivated and ready to take on challenges.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on July 10th:
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).
