Horoscopes
Aries
This is a potentially strong day for recognizing the power of living in the moment, dear Aries. Slowing down or simply moving at a steady pace is appropriate now with the Moon in your earthy solar second house. Emphasis is on matters of comfort and security. With the Moon’s connection to Jupiter today, there can be particular enjoyment of work and health pursuits. Jupiter is a month and a half away from moving out of the sector of your chart that rules these things, and it’s a good idea to make the most of this transit that boosts your work prospects and attitude towards taking care of yourself through rewarding, healthy daily routines. While there may be some misunderstandings this morning, today is strong for activities related to work, career, and money.
Taurus
This can be a wonderfully comfortable day for self-expression, dear Taurus. Despite possible (and minor) misunderstandings with family, the day supports your efforts to express your creative side as well as entertaining or romantic activities and expression. People are cooperative, you are coming off as wise and generous, and feelings are hopeful. Words may not be as successful as actions taken to show your affection right now. Today and this week, you may feel as if it’s easier to put difficult elements of the past, guilt, or worry behind you.
Gemini
Areas of your chart that rule your inner world and your emotions are in focus and well-supported today, dear Gemini. It’s a good time for connecting with deep needs, desires, and feelings. This morning’s energies are slightly tricky – it’s important to pay particular attention to your choice of words, especially in public and professional settings, as there is a tendency to come off the wrong way. Otherwise, the day is quite favorable for attention to your personal life, family, intimate relationship, and/or private time. Operating under the radar may very well help you today.
Cancer
Jupiter is on its final leg of its yearlong journey through your communications sector, dear Cancer. It will spend another month and a half here before moving on to bless and expand home and family matters. Take advantage of this time to enjoy learning, writing, studying, and making connections. Today’s energies are particularly useful for reaching out or throwing yourself into projects you enjoy. While this morning can involve a misunderstanding or missed connection, the day favors your social life in general.
Leo
You can feel especially comfortable in the role of manager today, dear Leo, whether you are managing others or your own life. Taking care of business feels right and even enjoyable. Ideas are rich and imaginative. The day is also strong for personal attraction, as many days are in recent weeks. While ticking off items on your to-do list can be satisfying now, you can also thoroughly enjoy activities that take you outside of the routine. People are latching onto your ideas, and you’re especially attentive and gentle with others, who appreciate your special touch.
Virgo
This can be a creative and possibly romantic day, dear Virgo. You’ll find it easy to express yourself in satisfying ways through various channels, and others tend to allow you the freedom to do what you want. The Moon in your adventure sector reaches out to Jupiter in your sign, and this can serve to inspire self-confidence and optimism. Jupiter is in its last leg of its journey through your sign – it has just over six weeks left of its transit of Virgo. Aim to take advantage by exploring new personal interests or doing something you’ve always wanted to do but lacked the confidence.
Libra
Your personal life and inner world of emotions are in strong focus today, dear Libra, and are highly favored as well. It’s a great day for observation and strategy. You might have a “eureka” moment on an emotional level as you gain insight into a previously confusing matter related to your own psychology or to the motivations of someone you care deeply about. There may be an emotional breakthrough, or an intimate or family relationship can reach a new level of bonding. Jupiter is spending its last six weeks in your privacy sector before it moves into your sign and brings its blessings of confidence and optimism to your personality. Take advantage of this time to get in better touch with what you truly want.
Scorpio
You’ll find that your ability to get along well with others in many ways determines the success of the day, dear Scorpio. It’s a beautiful day, in fact, for making negotiations, compromises, and agreements. People tend to be supportive of you, and you of them. Attraction is easy and natural. Mutually beneficial situations can figure strongly now. Friends or group connections and networking can open doors for you. Some of you can be making a new friend or reconnecting with someone you’ve connected to in the past.
Sagittarius
Good energy is with you for practical matters today, dear Sagittarius, with a positive emphasis on your houses of substance. You’ll benefit from taking care of business now. You will want to manage the smaller details of your life, as you may feel out of sorts if things are out of place. You might also enjoy some level of service – helping others or simply doing your best in your work. Jupiter is spending its last six weeks in your sector of career and reputation, and it’s a good idea to take advantage by throwing extra energy into your work and making improvements that you can be proud of.
Capricorn
You’ll find that you’re more comfortable than usual on a personal level today, dear Capricorn, and you’re expressing yourself more fluidly and confidently as a result. Creative, romantic, and adventuresome activities are favored. Learning and sharing are also in good shape, although there may be a missed connection or misunderstanding experienced this morning. Jupiter is on its last leg of its journey through your solar ninth house now. In the coming six weeks, aim to take advantage of this positive energy by learning as much as you can and connecting with those subjects you truly enjoy. From the first week of September forward, you’ll be at a career peak, and preparing for that period makes a lot of sense.
Aquarius
This is a good time for attending to your inner world, dear Aquarius, as well as activities that emphasize bonds with loved ones. You’re in an excellent position to understand your needs and feelings, as well as to see what others need from you more clearly. Bonding can occur now. At the very least, your improved relationship with yourself can ultimately benefit many different life departments, including your relationships. You have no interest in repeating past mistakes or tired ways of interacting – you’re more interested in making improvements. It’s a strong day for self-improvement efforts or for quitting a bad habit.
Pisces
This is a good time for partnering up with someone special, or for teaming up with others, to accomplish your goals, dear Pisces. You are expressing your affections in especially unique ways, and others are seeing you in a special light. You’re very willing to negotiate, compromise, and maintain a comfortable level of harmony. Your wisdom is evident to people today. You have no interest in repeating past patterns if they haven’t worked for you – you’re ready to change things up in order to improve your life.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
TAURUS STRONG
Stable and enduring, strong values, unyielding, earthy, acquisitive, strong desires. Can be stuck, stubborn, overly possessive, self-indulgent.
LEO STRONG
Self-confident, generous, warm-hearted, powerful leader, dramatic. Can be overly proud, vain, extravagant, arrogant.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE STRONG
Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL WEAK
This is not a time that we tend to naturally initiate actions. We may be stronger at following up than starting anew. Survival mechanisms may be weaker now.
FIXED STRONG
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: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on July 27th:
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).
