Daily Horoscopes – 31 July 2018

The Moon continues her trip through supernal Pisces, where her journey through an electric fog brings her face to face with Venus in an open confrontation. Venus is especially inclined to hear what the Moon has to say as the Moon comes to her smelling of her favorite vacation spot.

Aries

A figure from the past whom you had once believed to have fallen by the wayside brings an arresting word from an unconsidered source that offers wizened council as regards your current fruitless striving to make your figures work, whether your financial projections or your relational projections. Said wisdom might get lost in translation, though.

Taurus

An amicable neighbor with questionable boundaries makes a sudden appearance at your dinner table. They bring with them electric advice about how to throw down a wider spread and draw the focus away from your own pleasure so that you can draw other people into the feast—and, perhaps surprisingly, you take them at their word.

Gemini

If your dues didn’t get paid yesterday due to having missed your signal, you’ll have another startling chance to do the same today—and perhaps the starkness of the bill might cause you to reconsider how deep your life’s foundations have been built. All the same, a deep delight lies hidden among the darkness into which it has fallen.

Cancer

The day reminds you that the crucible of partnership is one of the most vital ways in which your self-concept and your view of the world around you have cracked open and grown exponentially in the recent season. Such reminder comes when you find yourself in a face to face confrontation with an old friend thinking aloud to yourself, “how would my parents handle this?”

Leo

It will be very easy for your internal anxiety to seep through the cracks in your effulgent exterior today when your awareness of all the ways you don’t measure up to your own expectations are brought to bear in a conflict with a superior about your paycheck. Get your money but don’t lose yourself in the process; the anxiety is an illusion.

Virgo

A supple and subtle friend not-so-gently nudges you out of the seemingly endless spiral of self-reflection that you’ve been caught in for the past few weeks as you’ve been mindfully re-arranging your mental furniture to create a cognitive schema worthy to be featured on HGTV. Go with them when they bring with them an invitation to party.

Libra

If your vocation is not giving you the satisfaction it once did, how much of that is rooted in facts outside your control and how much is simply part and parcel of your self-concept right now? Consider the ways that you feel indebted to balance the other. Have you boxed yourself into a corner by attempting to seek peace with others at all costs?

Scorpio

A sumptuous banquet becomes the battleground on which your stupendous vision of the world will come up against the very ways that you unduly limit yourself when a conflict erupts with a friend or partner about this very thing. There is no need to believe what you are told simply because it’s in the neighborhood’s water supply.

Sagittarius

Fear for a friend’s wellbeing after a wash of disconnection from them causes you to charge in with all the powers at your disposal to come to their aid. But do beware of helping overmuch in your eagerness to be of dutiful service to them; their friendship has never been predicated on what you can do for them, but rather the way you enrich them simply due to your presence.

Capricorn

Connections with your old stomping ground are in flux today as you push the envelope at a neighborhood barbecue. Not everyone wants to be told how problematic they are, even less so from their obnoxious neighbor. The transformation that you want to effect won’t be done with grandstanding and pontification; small conversations and quiet moments of joy are where the real transformations happen.

Aquarius

Hard work doesn’t seem to be ameliorating the ever-present diffuseness of your bank account, much to your chagrin, but at least a jolt of recognition catches you today and helps you to understand ways to structure your energies more efficiently. Perhaps considering the task ahead of you not as a mundane task but as a spiritual discipline might be the turn of understanding you need.

Pisces

The joy that comes your way today, with intensive support from the joyful company you keep, can offer a resplendent suggestion to a neighbor with whom you’ve become close. Look for such an opportunity as the day wears on for in joining hands to share the riches a good Earth has to offer you will make your own joy complete.

The Moon makes collaborative contacts with a number of heavyweights today as though surveying the damage from the eclipse with an outside consultancy, her boss, and her priest. Each planet has a different suggestion as to the best ways forward for her, but the advice that really shines is that of Jupiter, who is inclined to hear whatever it is the Moon has to say and who steps in to aid her.

Aries

Don’t neglect to pay attention to the ancient currents that are running deep beneath the level of your conscious awareness, for those very currents prove today to be the matter that will usher forth unsettling, stark, and ultimately beneficial avenues for the expansion of your horizons. Do not be afraid of the dark, for it is in the dark and holy cloud of unknowing that the Divine has pitched its tent.

Taurus

Folks usually come to you because of your staid and steady posture, but recent events have caused you to bend and flex in new and unexpected ways, drawing the attention of others who had written you off as rigid and inflexible. Those chaotic vapors waft off of you and attract a new collaborative partner from your workaday world. This nascent connection proves to be one that puts taproots deep down into both of your psyches.

Gemini

The bills get paid today—and not just the lingering credit card statement that you’ve let slide to the bottom of your inbox, but rather, the dues that you owe in your career. Your hard work is not going unnoticed despite the emergent web of chaos that has kept you feeling boxed in over the past few months. The spotlight will never fall on you if you remain stuck in the wings.

Cancer

As your attention is drawn to parts unknown, you meet with an unsettling and exciting upset among the company you keep that causes a bond to form between you and someone you had never considered, like a passing star knocking a comet into orbit around the Sun. Keep a close watch on the joy that erupts from this new connection for it can either become a drain on your energy or cause your heart to grow three sizes.

Leo

If you feel hemmed in at the moment by dependence on the benefices of other people, stay the course, for after a day of work chaos that demands much of you and over-structured collaboration you will meet with sudden and exciting motion that causes your feeling of indebtedness to them to catch fire and turn into a source of deep and lasting joy.

Virgo

A friend wants to join with you in a collaborative business partnership, and it isn’t any ordinary Amway-style pyramid scheme but rather it may prove to be a way to create a lasting legacy of structured joy among the people with whom you bump shoulders day in and day out. Listen to what they have to say because their idea may be the diamond in the rough you’ve been seeking.

Libra

Welcome the boons with which life presents you, even ones as insignificant as a kind face turned in your direction. If you’re having trouble at the office, stay the course; there is an end in sight as regards a potential draining situation in your career, and it will likely come to you in the form of a coworker who picks up an extra hour or shift out of the goodness of their heart to help you by staving off the encroaching madness.

Scorpio

What may seem like nonchalant dalliances with big ideas and bigger mysteries will yield to a deeper commitment to the joy of truth-telling and truth-seeking today. That commitment will become a weapon in your heart’s arsenal in short order as you remain mindful of the ways that the truth has indeed set you free—and you can’t wait to bring that truth to others, can you?

Sagittarius

The fear of losing a parent, or losing any connection to our roots, is something that every person must face, but you find it occupying your thought life today as news of goings-on in your neighborhood cause such matters to hit home with especial poignance today. Although such worry could inundate you easily, allow it to cause you to redouble your efforts to love those around you with fierce devotion today.

Capricorn

If you make plans with a friend today, you can expect this small yet surprising getaway to a place not too far off proves to be the perfect opportunity to reconnect with yourself after all the tension that you’ve been experiencing over the past several days. Indeed, “getting away” is the very thing you need to get out of the thistle patch in which you’ve been entangled.

Aquarius

If you have a pet, you’ll find them unusually important to you today as they assist you in reconnecting with your essential priorities amid the storm of chaos that threatens to consume your sense of connectedness with home and your very roots these days. Not only that, but their companionship proves to shake you out of any funk you’ve been in. Treasure their presence.

Pisces

The day brings a cluster of good tidings despite the resonant aftershocks of tectonic shifts happening in your neighborhood. Await a joyful word from people younger than you which will serve to motivate you to redouble your searching and fearless examination of the ways in which your non-existent boundaries can benefit from even the gentlest suggestion of a definite form.

The Moon stands off against a brassy and bombastic Mercury prior to moving into Pisces as she decreases in light. The Moon has Face rulership at her degree in Aquarius and happens is in Mercury’s triplicity at the time of the opposition, meaning Mercury is only slightly inclined to hear what she has to say… but Mercury is retrograde at this point, so he’s slogging backwards toward a confrontation and the Moon isn’t keen on it.

Aries

Opposing volleys of words at a family get-together superheat the air and you can’t get enough of it. If there’s a way for you to take delight in the exchange without making it worse for all parties involved, go ahead—but be careful that you don’t put yourself in a position where you find the remarks might be made about you.

Taurus

An interesting situation arises at work where the foundations you have been laying for a creative endeavor are now under studied scrutiny by your coworkers, and yet, you seem to enjoy having the opposition as it gives you the chance to dig in your heels even further, adamant that your vision for a way forward with the project is right (as it always has been, you’re sure). Enjoy that fun while it lasts.

Gemini

You don’t need to go far to find your fortune falling all around like pennies from heaven—just a few trips around town will do the job, and you’ll be able to find them wherever you end up today. Just remember that these serendipities are only worth pennies, and you can expect them to sting a little when they hit you from a distance.

Cancer

What emerged as a wash of anxious inner dialogue yesterday is shown to be what it is today when a financial concern reveals that all of the froth you’ve gotten yourself worked into is just a web of words that stands in the way of you taking right action to resolve the problem that has presented itself. Keep this lesson close to your heart moving forward.

Leo

You’ve got big talk, but do the actions you choose to take match the expectations that you build for yourself and your friends with your winning and wanton words? Where this comes down to is a challenge that will emerge in a collaborative partnership that will require you to look to the ways that the trouble you have created for yourself is no match for the assistance you have from your friends.

Virgo

A friend’s illness causes your heart to leap out of your chest in compassion towards them, and this interior motion reminds you once again that you are the one with the most control over the actions you choose, and the multifaceted ways in which you are perceived in this world. If you want to be perceived as a force of healing, then behave as one.

Libra

Tensions erupt in what was supposed to be a fun project when your understanding of the end goal doesn’t line up with the vision of your mentors and teachers. Those who initially seemed to be on your side may prove to be false friends when they see the way in which this weighty undertaking will contribute to your abundance. Stay true to the fixed course of your initial ideas.

Scorpio

A teacher takes a friend to task in a way that you haven’t quite seen since elementary school. Consider who or what comprises the “teachers” you have in your life now, and consider how watching their interactions with others in your world has been formative in showing you how to use your deep wells of intensity for good rather than for ill. What can you learn from this outburst?

Sagittarius

Just as word of money owed came to you yesterday, the question of your extant financial obligations will generate tensions in your partnership and your professional life today as you consider the cruel teacher the bondage of debt can be. This fleeting tension will pass (it is no catastrophe waiting in the wings), and perhaps it will pass easier if you attend to the lessons your present struggles are inviting you to embody.

Capricorn

Once again, a trusted partner or collaborator is at your right hand today, fighting lividly on your behalf. Don’t be surprised if today’s showdown has to do with educational debt. What did you do to attract such a person into your life? And with what obligations of thanks and generosity will you show your gratitude for their presence at your side? Treasure them.

Aquarius

You’re still recovering from the shock of yesterday’s sudden physical setback, however minor it may be, but today your body’s harsh lesson draws your attention to the way you view a trusted partner or collaborator with an admixture of both joy and fear. By its very nature love requires sacrifice, and you realize today that your current physical illness might be the result of having over-sacrificed for the sake of enjoyment.

Pisces

A desire to lay the foundations for new and exciting collaborations by entering into a creative silence will be washed out by the torrent of words levied at you by collaborators and relatives. Their complaints are not so much “about” you as they are “at” you, but assuaging them calls you to step up to the plate unexpectedly to fulfill some big-hearted obligation you didn’t know was yours in the first place.

The Moon, still reeling from her trip into the Earth’s shadow yesterday to fight the dragon, reaches out to a piercing Jupiter for a hand but is met with a reality check. Just as wound dressings must be peeled off and changed for the skin to knit, sometimes the path to healing requires a little more suffering.

Aries

In the fallout from yesterday’s tough decision, you continue to be richly imbued with an uncharacteristic generosity towards those who have need of you. The discomfort from this out-of-the-norm position may lead you to realize that you are at your best when your holy drive is placed in the service of others, even if doing so causes you to lose touch with your own concept of yourself so that the real you can shine forth brilliantly.

Taurus

What did you let go of as you were allowing old ties to pass away yesterday? Someone in your everyday world reaches out for assistance, having had a hard time with their own experience of yesterday’s difficulties, and your own idea of where you’re headed misaligns with what they need from you in this moment. It may very well be that you have chosen to let go of this particular tie, but they didn’t get the memo.

Gemini

An aftershock from yesterday’s blowout rattles you when the resources you’ve been sending far afield creates tension with your partner and your profession, thrusting you into a situation where you need to acknowledge that the path of integration in either circumstance will require a bit more discipline than you initially bargained for. Be careful not to let the vastness of the task undo you.

Cancer

Your interior dialogue becomes an endless wash of insecurity when an unexpected contact from a faraway fling drives you to reconsider all the ways in which your view of the horizon has been steady and staid for the last year. Is this a call to break out of the ol’ Cancer shell? Maybe, but consider the cost and the return-on-investment before you text them back.

Leo

Yesterday was not an easy day for you, and today will present an opportunity for you to assess and evaluate how the tension you have been experiencing in your relational life has either been tilling the soil to make ready for new life or has simply been keeping you boxed in to a pattern of anxiety that has robbed you of a sense of joy. Has joy truly perished, or is it hiding like a grain hid in dark earth, and waiting to arise green again?

Virgo

Did you cross the road for someone yesterday? If not, such an opportunity presents itself again in the tension charging the air when a friend crosses contentious paths with a relative or collaborator. This may be the opportunity you were looking for to move forward by moving back, turning yourself toward service once again, as both parties will have need of you.

Libra

“You gotta spend money to make money” seems to be the message in the air as you regroup from yesterday’s tough reality check. Part of the challenge is that your perception of the amount you have at your disposal has been over-inflated while in reality your access to resources has been circling the drain. Today’s tension reminds you to be realistic about what’s achievable with what you already have.

Scorpio

Despite the swell of abundance that seems to have been making its way to you for the last few months, a sudden poignancy catches up with you when you when a conversation with someone from your past draws your attention to the way in which having “a lot” can sometimes be having “too much.” Though you don’t need to worry about it right this moment, be prepared to ask the question: “how much is just enough?”

Sagittarius

The day brings word of a debt that you owe, whether financial or relational, and such word reminds you of the ways in which you have felt boxed in over the last several months. It remains up to you, however, to determine whether your present sufferings are the throes of imprisonment or the disciplines of an asceticism that will allow you to soar to even greater heights in a few months’ time.

Capricorn

Your partner is roundly in your corner today as the fallout from yesterday’s imbroglio continues to settle to the earth, but today, the tensions emerge between your partner and your own shortcomings as you find yourself pressing to maintain the sanctity of your oh-so-comfortable bubble that you’ve constructed for yourself. What happens when breaking free feels like being enslaved?

Aquarius

A sudden ache or illness demands that you pay attention to the way your current financial situation and plans for your future are not setting you up to lead a life that is in accordance with your ideals. What lesson does this physical pain have to teach you about your priorities and how you will go about setting them? As you work through the tension, strive to hear the voice that speaks a better word of vision.

Pisces

What did you learn yesterday in the quiet moments of listening to your body? Today the lesson continues as you are invited to retire to a far off place of enjoyment and rest as you reorient yourself to your understanding of what it is you are supposed to be doing in this one wild and precious life. The wisdom of the body will prove to be rich grist for the mill of the soul.

The cosmos has three words for you today: “Machine Wash Hot.” The Sun opposes Mars and the Moon teams up with Mars to fight the Sun (who will have nothing to do with either of them), but the Earth’s shadow cancels the Moon as she sinks into the Stygian darkness. There can be no resurrection without death in the first place, and getting the whitest whites out of your laundry requires heat, time, pressure, and a little caustic bleach.

Aries

As joyful struggle forces you to make a choice you would rather avoid, you find your debt to old friends to be the helping hand you need to decide what is most important in your life. Clarity comes in the form of listening the movements of joy within your heart, even if those very movements are antithetical to the expectations you had for yourself. Don’t make any choice lightly.

Taurus

Family commitments butt up against your own limitations, and those ties that bind will demand that you allow the old expectations and ways of relating to your roots to pass away so that new collaborative opportunities may take root and flourish. Remember that permanence is an illusion; the way to life is to embrace its processes.

Gemini

A false and distant friend brings word of something that they need and although your heart goes out to them, consider the extent to which this doing this friend’s emotional labor will require false words that you find yourself unable to speak today. If the rift that emerges between you strikes a fatal blow to your friendship, all is not lost—let them depart in peace, and you will find peace yourself.

Cancer

A superior asks you to bite off more than you can chew, committing more of yourself to a new undertaking that excites you. Despite a desire to give them whatever it is they want, you will find that your desire to maintain your own energetic equilibrium gives you the backbone you need in order to say “no” to requests that go far beyond anything that is reasonably expected.

Leo

Who is carrying the weight of your relationship? Today’s supernal and subtle tension calls you to consider deeply the shape and flexibility of your covenanted partnerships as you feel like your over-commitment of energy is driving you to the point of loneliness. It is not wrong to ask for what you need—and today need not presage a breakup, but you will have the opportunity to lay everything on the table.

Virgo

The Good Samaritan crossed the road to help the victim of the robbery in the ditch because he was unafraid to turn towards death, isolation, and ostracization in order to show mercy to one most in need of it. Today calls you to consider how your duty and your debt to others is calling you to cross into new roads to assist people whom those around you would rather you ignore.

Libra

You’ve got a clear idea as to where you want to go in your life, but today, the harsh realities of energy-sucking collaborations and a dip in your cash flow burst your luminous bubble. Recalculating your route forward may, however, provide you with a joyful opportunity to revisit and revise steps that were never going to work in the first place.

Scorpio

It’s a breakout day for your career but even as you find yourself flying upward you will feel the pinch that comes from a growing distance between your image of yourself and how you are perceived by those with their eye on you. Can you continue in this direction while maintaining the feral authenticity that courses underneath your still and steady surface?

Sagittarius

Despite your natural tendency to thrust yourself far afield in pursuit of new horizons, a sense of nostalgia (and perhaps a lingering credit card bill) tether you down perhaps longer than you intended, hemming you in and pinning you to the ground. Do not fear having to hang out around your old stomping grounds, for you may uncover something you’d never seen before.

Capricorn

Your friends, folks, and partner all seem to be on your side today as you get into fisticuffs over money that is owed to you that causes you to make some challenging decisions. It’s important that you not lose your head, and instead utilize your now-uncanny power to act decisively and discerningly to achieve your desired result.

Aquarius

Your partner will offer an illuminating and challenging insight into the question of career and commitment that has been draining all of your energy in recent weeks. Do not be alarmed by how forthright your partner’s words are, and do your best not to react explosively, for it’ll take a few beats for what they have to say to land in your head and your heart.

Pisces

The hangover you’re nursing today—whether from too much drink or too much emotional labor—will be a doozy, and yet, it will have an important lesson to teach you about how your own limitations. Listen to the wisdom that your body whispers to you in the quiet moments, for the body’s wisdom is as real as anything a guru could teach you.
