Horoscopes
Aries
The first half of the day is strong for spontaneity, expressiveness, and creativity, dear Aries. A good mood can prevail. You feel especially free and fresh. Later today, emotions can be up and down, especially revolving around romance. You may feel that you have to make a tough choice. Financial and love or social matters can be frustrating or worrisome. You might be irritated by people who seem to want to control you, or a sense that your finances are out of your control can nag at you. Pay attention to the fears and emotions that surface today, as you can learn a lot about what might be holding you back from going after what and who you want. Learn to tune out the negative distractions and focus on what truly matters for making improvements.
Taurus
Early today, you’re in a strong position for support, intimacy, and cooperation, dear Taurus. Family and intimate relationships thrive. You might be giving off mixed messages without realizing it later today, however. Stay centered and keep things real, even if you feel that you’re in a bit of a tight spot, choosing between two equally enticing alternatives. Emotionally, you’re not feeling especially adventurous, preferring to stick with the familiar, but part of you may be itching for a change, and if you’re not in touch with this part of you, it can stir up a bit of trouble! The Moon in your privacy sector stimulates a need for some down time.
Gemini
There is a pleasant intensity to your communications in the first half of the day, dear Gemini, and enthusiasm grows naturally. People cooperate with you and you find it easy and quick to locate the information you need. You can benefit from speaking with someone close to you. However, try not to push yourself to understand everything, particularly as the day advances, as you may be stirring up unnecessary problems. Thinking too much can complicate things, and suspicion may throw you off track. Some information is missing, false, or exaggerated. Adjustments to your plans and projects may need to be made.
Cancer
You can be feeling especially confident about making money, taking care of business, or managing others today, dear Cancer. Even so, there is a tendency to second-guess decisions later today, and it may be wise to wait out making a big purchase. Love is complicated, but feelings that emerge can illuminate insecurities so that you can learn from them. There may be disagreements with others about core values and money, but this may very well occur on a more subtle level – you may feel a little out of synch with someone, and perhaps quite resentful if you feel they don’t trust your ability to manage your life well.
Leo
Your enthusiasm runs high in the first half of the day, dear Leo, with the Sun in your sign harmonizing with the enterprising Aries Moon. You enjoy expressing your ideas and beliefs with others. You may be in the mood for something a little out of the ordinary or exotic. As the day moves forward, however, it may not be the best time to reach an agreement or a compromise. There is a tendency to question someone’s level of commitment. Outside obligations can pull a loved one’s attention away from you, and this can be a little offputting. Alternatively, there may be a separation or longing to be with someone that temporarily distracts you from the tasks at hand.
Virgo
There can be nice support coming from unexpected or hidden sources today, dear Virgo. You may enjoy a sense that you’re on top of emotional matters. You’re likely to do a lot of processing these days, and while it’s part of a natural cycle right now, later today you may be taking this too far and overthinking. Frustrations can bubble to the surface at unusual moments, but if you pay attention to the cues, you can learn a tremendous amount about what is truly behind your fears and insecurities, particularly about a relationship. Remember that anger is a defense mechanism that divorces you temporarily from feeling hurt, and can essentially be a self-imposed trick. Today, allow yourself to feel the pain and enjoy the release and freedom you feel after you do.
Libra
The first half of the day brings easy energy to your social life, dear Libra. You are likely to find that people cooperate with you, or, at the very least, support your endeavors. There can be some pressure on you later today, however, placed by friends or groups, and it’s your choice whether to succumb to it or to stand your ground. You could have quite a difficult time making choices and decisions. Fight self-doubt and push beyond your fears. It can be difficult to take a step back and allow others space when you’re feeling insecure, but it’s important to let go from time to time.
Scorpio
You enjoy fresh enthusiasm and perspective on your practical affairs today, dear Scorpio. You may experience advances in your work or a pleasant flowing motion to your projects and endeavors. However, as the day advances, you may inadvertently cause some problems – for yourself! Try not to self-sabotage. You are especially sensitive to your reputation or professional image later today, but you may communicate something that stirs the pot and has a bit of a backlash. Be a little more vigilant about what you say now. Alternatively, if you want to push boundaries, do so, but be sure to own that choice.
Sagittarius
The energies of the first half of the day are strong for spontaneity, ease of expression, and creativity, dear Sagittarius. You can be excited to share an idea with others. As the day advances, life may not seem quite so straightforward, and you may second-guess situations and people. Be willing to let a bad attitude or circumstance go. There is no need to dwell on a fear or insecurity. Try not to obsess over what you don’t know about a situation, because that’s where you’re inclined to trip up today. Trust that what you need to know will be revealed to you in time.
Capricorn
There is good energy for getting in better touch with yourself today, dear Capricorn. You are drawn into your inner world, and you can feel quite content going about your business quietly now. Relationships seem a little more complicated as the day advances, however. While you need to make some changes, avoid obsessive thinking that only serves to take you in a mental and emotional circle. You can feel a little out of step — as if you can’t quite read a person or situation. Decisions are hard to make right now, but once made, a sense of relief can arrive. Focus on moving forward, and look for the best possible way to do so.
Aquarius
People are cooperative and helpful in the first half of the day, dear Aquarius. It can be easy to find the right information today, and to come to easy agreements with others. As the day advances, relationships at least seem more complicated, but consider that you may be overthinking things. Adjustments need to be made, but change is good for you and your relationships right now – don’t be afraid to make a few waves. You may need to step back from situations to really get the whole story, or resign yourself to being content not knowing everything. Focus should be on strategy and plans of action rather than quick maneuvers.
Pisces
This morning, you’re especially comfortable in the practical world, dear Pisces, and very adept at solving problems and getting things to work smoothly. The day becomes a little trickier to manage as it progresses, however. There can be a disconnect with a partner or some tension with a friend. Insecurities about your performance or your usefulness or worth to others may be in focus. It’s not easy to stick to a schedule today, as there can be many distractions — especially emotional ones. Resolve to be flexible and to allow for errors in order to make the best of the day. There is a tendency to dwell on negative feelings, which seem to emerge out of nowhere.
*Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.

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 24th:
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).
